User:Axe Hack/Random Rantings
Think of this as nothing but a blog in which I, Axe Hack, rants about stuff relating to Urban Dead.
There will be a new ranting every Tuesdays and Fridays (or at least almost every Tuesdays and Fridays. It's basically every Tuesdays and Fridays whenever I have time).
Axe Hack Rants 1
Hey there, folks. I'm starting a new segment here, which I'll dub as "Axe Hack Rants". It's a segment in which I rant about different aspects of Urban Dead. Think of this as a blog, I guess.
For this first rant, it's something that's been in my mind for a few days. Philosophe Knights. Now I don't mean to bash on them or anything, but somehow I can't help but think that the Philosophe Knights were definitely a lot more sophisticated during generations one, two, and three of UD, with a generation counting as a year (2005 being generation one, and 2011 being generation six, and so forth).
To my knowledge, the Philosophe Knights are a PKer group that revolves around philosophical views. Philosophy is derived from the Greek words "philo" and "sophia". "Philo" means "love" and "sophia" means "wisdom" or "knowledge", therefore philosophy ultimately means the "love of wisdom/knowledge". The Philosophe Knights definitely show their love of knowledge, with their ever so popular catchphrase, "Praise knowledge." But somehow, I'm interested in knowing...Does the Philosophe Knights of generation six really know what knowledge is? Let's find out...
For any Knights reading this, go to my main userpage. Do you see the sidebar on the left (←)? Where it says "E-mail this user" on my main userpage? Send me, Axe Hack, an email answering this question: "What is knowledge?" For any non-Knights reading this segment, feel free to answer my question as well. If you don't have an e-mail address linked to your wiki account, consider the alternate option. Send me a PM through one of the numerous UD forums I am on, with "Rants" in the subject line. A complete list of UD forums I frequently browse through (not counting the ones in which I've haven't checked into in a month or two) can be located on the talk page. I'll be posting your answers in my next segment on Tuesday. Only your answers will appear in the next segment. You will remain anonymous. The only one who will know who sent which answers will be me.
So...That's it for this first segment. In my next segment, besides viewing whatever answers everyone may give regarding knowledge, I will be ranting about Rogues Gallery. This is Axe Hack, and I'm done ranting today. Until next time, Malton. Peace out.

EDIT: Confusion arises, so let me be more clear, Knights. I'm not looking for the definition of the word "knowledge". I am actually looking for the Knights' own personal opinions on what they consider knowledge to be. Hopes this clears up the confusion. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 22:17, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- Not trying to hijack your edit here, but any chance to tell the truth about the Philosophe Knights is a chance best taken. These guys aren't about knowledge. They aren't about intelligence. They aren't even really PKers. They are GRIEFERS. For instance, the PKnight golam: [[1]]. The guy has single handedly been griefing TZH for months. Having played this game I know the difference between someone who runs through Malton as a PKer. Their groups have agendas, or they are just trying to collect tags/run up a bounty. But the Knights are different. Their intention is to try and grief people out of the game. Golam has specifically targeted newer members of TZH, in the hopes of getting them to quit the game. He has killed, and I am not kidding, well over 50 times. Thats 50 PKs against one group, and often against the same people. The members of TZH will randomly put golam down if seen, but no one is hunting him, and for the large part he is ignored. Why? Because he specifically isn't a PKer. Hunting PKers is fun. Going to war with a PKer group can be interesting. But hunting griefers is like feeding the trolls. Which is really what griefers are: trolls. And you shouldn't feed the trolls. The Philosophe Knights were never a fantastic group IMO. But at least in their first generations they had an interesting idea. Now? Just trolls. --Dhavid Grohl 15:21, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
