AllianceSJR Samantha Grey (Alliance, I really can't remember the names of the various heresies and non-modist sects outside of a paltry few, and that wasn't one of them. Remind me? As becomes apparent from her conversation, Samantha's views are closely akin to secular humanism mingled with a certain Zen individuality, creating something like a "Gaianism" that lauds the capacity and potential of the end user, favoring those who elevate themselves in a fashion adhering to the local code of law. Hence, statements like "Have faith in yourself" pepper her conversation.) I can't remember most of them, either. I remember Playchaism because it came up in conversation a few times in the past few months. It's...ah... There are no Mods or Admins; Everyone is a Player Character. There's more to it than that, but that's the gist. 3nodding Ahhhh, hers is similar, but she actually views moderators and admins to be elevated users, though she feels users is a bit of a loose term when referring to admins, as they handle the code itself that maintains the cities. So, there's a distinction, but she views them in part as users. Her concentration, frankly, is on the end users, not the mods who preside over ToS issues.

Some things I dragged up from the first 12 pages of DYBIMs. Chibi Otaku Not the Norabites, silly, We're the Norabhudists. Terrant Amata: That's only if you're a Roman Modlic. Protestants (named because they protest the use of stickies) hold that the Admin is real but the Mods don't exist; they also usually don't Bump. Bumping is a Modlic thing. Terrant Once again, only because you're a Modist. There other Gaian faiths besides Modism. But you guys hog ALL the spotlight and give Administs and the New Church of the Chatterbox and Gereralism and all the rest a hard time. And then there's the Church of VO the modern-day moderator, also known as the Momos or MDMs. They're just wacky. Songlian The New Church of the Chatterbox are just sick! SICK, I tell you. They don't see Spamming as the mortal sin it is. Twisted, just downright twisted. Although I still hold that the TOS is an allegory. You gotta see beyond the words! Romuel Kyraa Unless we force them to see through the accouty modit. Let the accounty modit come through them, dear mod, and see your ways. Wow...I never thought I'd meet a modist more conservative than me. Kyraa seems to believe in the trinary Mod. Mod, Admin and Accounty Modit. But...I guess it's all good, so long as you believe in mods.... Romuel Ephidel Bloodeye I believe in a higher authority. The Administrater! Ahahahahahahahaha! Mod save me. Another Purist....

Samantha Grey *shakes head* The gaian has control over their actions and the implications of their actions. They can control Gaia en masse to alter forum policy, though not always, and more poignantly are capable of seeking their own personal goals. *tilt* So, if all of the ED started to give cookies and smiled more, it would give off the impression of being a more friendly forum? If all Chatterboxers started to speak with intelligence, it would lose its name as the 'hell' of Gaia? Samantha The Moderator roles are solely to retain the peace of the region, to apply the rules set forward. They serve an adjudicatory role, but are themselves end users simply of an elevated state. The ToS itself is not so much a holy book as it is guidelines and laws for behavior within Gaia as a whole, rules for good order. Holiness is found in the individual and in their own search, not in mere adulation of elevated users. Some don't particularly seek to better themselves, but holiness is found ultimately only in the hands of the individual end user, as only they hold responsibility over their own actions. A mod can show you a path, or even lead you down it, but this does not necessarily make it your path. Wasn't that what most Holy Books were though? Guidelines and laws of behavior within a group? Things that would improve/keep social order and encourage good behavior? 'Mere Adulation'? I'm afraid I didn't understand that phrase. ^^; And does that mean some are suited for the unModly path? ;-; Missy Grey Capacity to alter gaia does not mean that such will always be the case. It seems that even Administrators, the most elevated of all end users who help maintain the very code of the Gaian sphere, are forced to adhere and acknowledge their own set of rules for good order, rules that the ToS gaians adhere to seem to be patterned after. I believe that it was over an issue related to those rules that this matter may have been forced into resolution. Yes, but can't they always change the rules if it doesn't please them and we have no say in the matter at all? And I thought the Admins and Coders were a different class. >.>;;; (confused. x.X; ) S.G. Some behave that way, yes. Not all, but some. Some simply don't care about gold, or see status as existing on other levels, such as post count and seniority. Such is the way of other realms much more than Gaia, but there are some who view things in these terms as well. Status is not always seen merely in the halo on a person's head. Seniority and presence have their place too, seen not only in physical signs such as post count, but also in behavior, demeanor and familiarity with the Gaian realm. Such things are necessarily intangible, but intangibles have a powerful impact on people. I honestly have yet to meet such a user. Every user I have met contributes to the Economy in some way with or without knowing it. While I'm sure they excist, somewhere, I just have yet to meet them and find this as an odd idea. ^^; I can understand seeing post count/seniority as the status of a forum, as Gaia is not my first forum. Though, Gaia is the only true forum. wink ( xp )

So, a number of factions mentioned early on are:
-Norabites/Norabhudists (although I think Noraboodists would be a more interesting spelling)
-Roman Modlic
-Protestants
-Administs
-New Church of the Chatterbox
-Gereralism
-Church of VO the Modern-day Moderator
Playchaists were also mentioned within the thread. Now, for definitions of each, if we so desire. surprised

Chibi Otaku Romuel Deandriea is their a problem with panmodism? I cant see why not.... This is a panmodist faith, so long as you do not place one mod above another, like the Neos, or the Norabhuddists. We of the Norabhuddists do not place Noraboo above the others, we simply choose to follow her way, rather than that of the other Mods. We do not cite her way as superior, it is simply the way that we have chosen, as it fits us best. Romuel Koukon_Tenshi *Sighs* I wonder if Pockyism will ever hold as many members as this... crying Pockyism, although an apostate faith, has -many- more members, dear. But I've always thought it was a philosophy with some goofy adherents. smile One needs only to go to jlist, japanesesnacks and see that your message comes to others clear as crystal. Even I, a devout modist, find joy in almond crunch pocky... And Ellie, so long as you treat pockyism as a philosophy, and do not fall into the cultic ways of some of its sects, I see no harm. Romuel Releashi I have read these words of the the Modist and I can not help feel ashamed for the sentiments held here. Chatterbox is not hell unto which the Mods and Admin shall cast ye! It is the fire to subject yourselves to cleansing as you carve out the true faith from the sand that is spamming. Do you not see the raw material that floats adrift there only waiting on the patience and kindness of those that know to lead them! But not unto the ED for that is not their world, but guide them into building their own. You preach not salvation in the Beta but a second Noah's ark! How can you claim to follow the benevolence that is MOD! Wow...I never thought I'd meet a pentacostal Modist. Chatterbox is the screaming noise of beasts, and those that are unworthy of ED go there, and should remain there! Do oyu not witness the invasion by chatterbox folk in recent days? How can you claim hope in a land where the posts cry POLL FOR GOLD? There is no salvation for these abominations. Good Gaians fear chatterbox, and deservedly so. Romuel Ink Angel Modca is a belief in the power and presence of the Modess in each of us and in the whole of Gaia. Modca is the oldest form of belief, dating back to the primitive times when out ancestors would look up at the banners and links of the homepage, and would click them and be moved. In the presence of the Modess, they were humbled and gifted with the ability to post and create threads. What we practive now as Modca is sadly only a sliver of the grandness that it once was, for much information on the true ways to practice Modca were lost during the banning times, when the Modist Church, in an attempt to crush out the truth from history, came donw upon our numbers and banned them by the millions. Modern Day Modca (Also known as Neo-Modca) was brought to us by those who were able to hide and escape from the banning times, keeping the Modess in their hearts while showing false faith in the untrue ways of the Modists. We Modcas are not the stereotypical "spammers" so often protrayed by the biased posts of today. We don't eat newbies, dance around without our items while flying on giftboxes, or flame people. The modjik we preform is about healing, and reaching new levels of oneness with the Modess. If we were to do otherwise, and preform spam modjik, flaming another, we would suffer many times worse than those we flamed, because of the rule of flames. This is posted as a request for tolerance for your local Modcas. Please be respectful. Never again the banning times! (damn... heart heart Wow! heart heart ) *twitch* I....I have been asked by others on this board to curtail my flaming ways when confronted with schisms, heresy, and apotasty. I...have been reminded time and TIME again that Gaian Modists do not flame... So...I...I am not going to discuss the inherent flaws in the idea of -modjic-, the idea that one can ban...on...On.. their own...Or the -biased-, -revisionist- views on the history of Gaia...Instead... *TWITCH* AW, TO HELLL WITH IT!!! WIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LET GO OF ME! LEMME AT HER!!! AAAAAIIIIGH!!!!!!! Romuel Styskel Imagine, if you will, a land free of the shackles of relevancy. Imagine, if you will, a land where all are welcome. Imagine, if you will, a land where none is elevated higher than the others. Imagine if you will, a paradise where anyone can find a friend, regardless of their posting aptitude. For I have walked in such a land, and found it to be pure. I have walked among the chatterbox. Wait... Styskel It is better to reign in CB than serve in ED! Oh, mods preserve us...The witch brought the DEVIL with her!!! AIEEEE! The Power of AVIE compels you!
The Power of AVIE compels you!
The Power of AVIE compels you!
The Power of AVIE compels you!
The Power of AVIE compels you!
The Power of AVIE compels you!
The Power of AVIE compels you!
The Power of AVIE compels you!
The Power of AVIE compels you!
The Power of AVIE compels you!AIEEEEEEE!

Romuel Styskel Chatterbox is the path to forgiveness. If you make a mistake, it matters not, for your sins will be washed away in the tide of threads. Harken, and decend upon the path to happiness. Gaians, I can't -begin- to tell you what a false prophet this one is. It should already be self-evident. Don't give in to his lies! Styskel Romuel Gaians, I can't -begin- to tell you what a false prophet this one is. It should already be self-evident. Don't give in to his lies! You will not be so cocky when the beta comes and the tools of destruction are laid unto the hands of those deserving. Run along and worship your silly mods and admins, for you shall soon see the true power, Economy! Kyraa Eternitian Styskel It is better to reign in CB than serve in ED! It is better to burn one CB heretic at the stake than to have Pink Links up the wazoo. Mod 12:122 Be wary of those of the Chatterbox, for they shall lead you astray with their promises of riches and gold and rulership. Take care that each of you serves in ED to the best of his abilities, and you shall receive the reward of being able to make posts consistant of more than spam. Nora 1:1 YOU ARROGANT ********. Karashebi 1:58 (yes, that's an exact quote) Whoot! Ah, to Chatterbox with it. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1494572&page=20 xp
