That paragraph quoted below begs to differ.

Dewiniaeth mustn't know lore because I "proved him wrong" to the point he deleted his posts on Page 2. Except he clearly does know desert lore - that's why he was questioning me in the first place.

You didn't "prove" me wrong nor am I only knowledgeable in desert lore as you insinuated. Don't try to chalk down your insult to miscommunication because it was not.

This forum, man.

I'm not in the habit of insulting people, and I'm sorry if I've given you that impression.

I think we're all operating at cross purposes here - you and I have a lot in common, and I'm actually very happy to meet someone who cares about the lore here and tries to make sure that it's being well accounted for. That's what I had been hoping to do here.

Pirate Myles, I don't believe he was trying to be narcissistic. It looks like he's interpreted my post as suggesting that he *only* knows desert lore - which isn't what I was trying to say at all.

You didn't prove anything wrong.

I was using quotation marks there for a reason, friend. Aquatic Pup is a good guy, but he and Hakuchou seem to regard their disagreement with me on a subjective area as being a dent in my lore knowledge. Isn't that similar to what's happening with you and me here? The fact we're not seeing eye to eye (which *does* seem to be at least partly due to miscommunications) shouldn't reflect poorly upon either of us - that logic doesn't hold up.

I also note your quoting of me omitted part of my sentence...

I'm not sure why you would do that. The "By that logic" was key to the meaning of what I was trying to say.

How is this an argument

If you want to make RP there, make RP there. No PoK owner is going to stop you from doing that
If you want to actually claim it as a PoK, then you're just shitting on the lore for the actual leader Jagex has put in place, which I'm assuming is somewhat important for the direction they're going with Menaphos and the Pantheon

Right, but the fact that we're not seeing eye to eye means it is 'disputed', doesn't it? Sooo, you are not undisputed. Mods pls notice me

Page 4 and my discussions with the very courteous leader of the Kharidia POK (such a gentleman!) might help you understand what I was hoping for.

Basically, I was hoping (ideally) to ensure that no one set up a player in place of the NPC pharaoh, by claiming it myself (OOC) and making it into a "hub" (as I now know the term is) that acknowledged the NPC Pharaoh.

The Kharidia POK has already been working on plans for the city and would prefer I didn't do that. I next suggested creating a group for roleplay in Menaphos that didn't claim any authority over it at all, but simply regularly roleplayed there and could work with them on certain things (something like what you're suggesting). Another member of their POK politely told me they think it would be best for the community if Menaphos roleplay weren't divided between two groups like that.

I'm disappointed with their preference there, but they and I had a nice talk.

As for the disagreement with Dew, it seems to me that he and I are talking at cross purposes and that there's some miscommunication going on here. I believe he wants the same things I do, but that I've failed to make that clear to him.
