Okay everyone.

Back when Kingdoms first were geering up, and Asuka made the first post about them, I knew right away which Kingdom I wanted to be a part of. He mentioned that he would create a Medieval Kingdom, soon others talked about the ones they would create. People were talking about a Samurai Kingdom, Underground (vermain's idea) and the underwater one too.

I knew I wanted to be a member of Medieval because that is where most of my interest lay, so I posted about it, not long afterwards, (Medieval) was created. The tag system was different then... the King was Asuka (Medieval King) heh... anyway, I didn't know Asuka at that time. I became a Knight and slowly I proved my loyalty and it was noticed. Over time things got more interesting, we had wars with other Kingdoms and some RP events, overall it was pretty nice, good way to pass time.

When Asuka left Dustari, he left it to me. It wasn't what I wanted to happen, but I took it and ran it the best way I could. One reason for this was because I knew that NOBODY else out there would run it the way it should be ran. I knew that it would rot and fade away, because nobody else really cared much about it. At that time most of the good roleplayers were in Samurai anyway, what would they care? So I tried to shape it up, remove the bad members, recruit the good ones. I tried to keep some of our problems, like our guard Miru, controlled so to not cause any problems. I've tried to get new things added to the castle, and new NPCs added too, but none of that happened since I can't get anyone to help me. Especially Birdbird, who I was so sure would help with the castle. We talked and talked about what needed to be changed, and what kind of additions would be added. But then he quit his staff positions and left me high and dry!

Somewhere along the lines of running Dustari, I realised that it wasn't fun. It was work, all the fun was gone. I didn't have time to come on Graal and have fun anymore, now I had to run Dustari and put up with 10,000 PMs everytime I logged on asking me this and that, this and that. Well I have finally tired of it. And I am resigning from Dustari. It isn't my creation, I only helped it along. So it's not like I'm abandoning my own creation, it isn't like that. Now I want to pass it on to someone else. Someone who has more time to spend with it, because I don't anymore.

I am making this post because I am at a loss for who I should choose to replace me. I have asked a few people... none seem very interested in taking it over.

If I can't find someone to take it over, then I guess it will be up to Stefan to do it.

If you want to run Dustari, PM me, ICQ me, AIM me, or post in this thread and let me know why. I need to find someone who will run it and actually make it a good place! Not just some empty castle where nobody ever goes, it needs to be filled with life.

I don't want to do this but it's all I can do right now. Oh, and I'm not leaving Graal, just to make that clear. :D

Have an RP event where some Kingdom takes it over, possibly Karakaze since we all hate Dustari.

That isn't true, you are just bitter because I removed you from Dustari for joining Karakaze. Which shows you unloyal you are, I'm sure they are so proud to have someone like you working with them.

cds96 07-05-2001 09:41 PM

dustari is still stronge, ive been in it for a while now and think its the best kingdom going because it has origionalty, and age but not only that it is know to every one.

AlkarenHyralt 07-05-2001 09:46 PM

Bah, I thought you were making some funny post involving a sport like baseball or cricket. Not something about kingdoms lol

Slaktmaster 07-05-2001 09:49 PM

Zulithe's done good by everything for Dustari.

Now, I have even more respect for the Pirate Crew, because Ghost Pirate is a good man and he's never let his team down.

Kaimetsu 07-05-2001 11:31 PM

I can't believe this with the scripters and stuff. Aren't there any good scripters in any kingdoms? Why is it always left to Stefan to code your uber-leet NPCs? I understand your situation, but there's only so much one man can do.

Archeon 07-06-2001 12:08 AM

are you saying you want Jinn to raise a guild (not a kingdom) that will destroy all kingdoms?

Kaimetsu 07-06-2001 12:21 AM

Only if Jinn scripts stuff for it himself.

Archeon 07-06-2001 12:23 AM

? scripts ?

last time i checked guilds were people...not castles/levels/scripts.

You could have a guildhouse.

oh, we dont need one of those, well get a few castles once our campaign is done

Kaimetsu 07-06-2001 12:30 AM

Castles need NPCs.

What if Jinn wants new NPCs for his new castles?

actually, you are right, Jinn needs a "laser" to attack those he doesnt like.

Jinn should script it himself then, or pay a scripter to do it. Too many people expect Stefan to do everything for them.

lasers are so fast you cant see them
i will just have a timeout kill script that wont kill you if you have my tag.

G_yoshi 07-06-2001 12:45 AM

Hmm...can you say, FF6? reminds me of Kefka's Tower and his Light of Judgement thing he had in the World of Ruin

AlkarenHyralt 07-06-2001 12:47 AM

That kind of script is illegal. You can't have a script that just kills people. And are you speaking in the 3rd person about yourself?

Zulithe 07-06-2001 12:53 AM

What I meant was that it would be up to Stefan to find a new KING if I didn't find anyone, I wasn't talking about scripts, etc.

I asked Valder to take over but he didn't like the idea very much... UNTIL I posted this message and then he suddenly showed interest. :/ I don't know what kind of a job Valder will do but we'll see...

You all can say I abandoned Dustari or whatever, I don't care. I need to organize my prioraties and running a Kingdom is a very fruitless responsability, people never stop hounding me and putting me and my Kingdom down. So now they can have a real reason to put me down.

psihunter 07-06-2001 12:58 AM

Running a Kingdom is no walk in the park however i find it at times very useful >=)

Just gotta stay strong and don't give up and your break will come =)

Birdbird_0 07-06-2001 12:59 AM

T_T Don't T_T >.<
@_@
This is a bad thing.... Sorry I didnt make the castle,
I couldent put up with my staff positions, I wanted to get out of the "Curruption Game" whail I still could,
I mean, getting 20 pms when I loog on is ok,
but after getting 5 requests of total lamer levels and being call "Currupt" for not accepting them, aloso people saying that I had bad taste from not accepting the levels,
and the constat battering from players that I dont pay enough attention to the players since I was head level maker,
arg, and also the amout work that the other staff members did,
Loriel put in alot of work, he was the one that helped me with the lake, npc wise, he was always there for my questions and always was making levels,
Stefan ofcourse did updates when ever he could,
when we opend the lake, that time of 2 or 3 hours that took so long to open it was him fixing alot of the clientside npcs and adding some new npcs to the lake,
he stood up till 4 am, now thats dedication....
I spend 3 long weeks doing about 2-6 levels a day,
for that lake,
and the other level makers just, I still have not seen them even volentear their talents,
I saw one of them just saying "Stefan you Give us nothing to do"
arg, thats what you get for having simple mindded kids on the team,
but, thats all behind us now, Loriel and Stefan are shapping up the team, work is getting done, gfx are comming out, and now I go back to bed !@)*&#$

You're right, I apologise. I'm just so tired of the people who do it that I see it in all the wrong places.

When I was King I payed Karakaze to put on a show for us, how could you say they don't like you?
