Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 On a whim (and after passing it by a mod) I became interested in starting a pro-trakovite group, more likely for the point of saying you're a Trakovite, but maybe kinda trying to spread the word about Trakovitism. I am still looking for a name for the group. anyone is welcome to come up with suggestions for a name or join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 While we're at it, let's all become brothers and cast off the shackles of the government. Anarcho-Communism all the way! There will never be a war again, and people will forget who to make weapons because no one needs them! Trakovites are just like Hippies and Communists; they have their heads in the clouds of idealism. If this wasn't humanity we were talking about, and some higher enlightened race instead, then Trakovites would have already one. It only takes one to ruin the whole ideology...

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 I am going to ask politely that all critics of Trakovitism please do not post on this thread unless it is on topic. I am relatively serious about this Trakovite group. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I'm a little confused by what you want. What does "spreading the word about Trakovitism" mean in practical terms? And why can't you use the name "Trakovite?" Originally by Goldenking: Quote: Trakovites are just like Hippies and Communists; they have their heads in the clouds of idealism. Nonsense! A hippy's head is as filthy as the rest of their body and air pollution hasn't gotten quite that bad yet. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Thank you Diki, your input (comical, and serious) is greatly appreciated. By spreading the word I mean presenting arguements about the advantages of Trakovitism. I think I could probably use the word Trakovites, but the beliefs of the Trakovites are much like a religion and also saying trakovite beliefs every single time is rather... tedious. Any name suggestions?I've thought of Trakovite Union, Public Trakovite Association. Rather bland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Taliesin Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I think Trakovites are all very nice, but... why? Why an association devoted to it? I have to agree with Goldenking on this one. By the way, why are Trakovites called Trakovites? I thought Trajkov was more of a proto-Barzite...

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Excuse me Nalyd, but I politely asked critics to save their critisicm for later. Please read all the posts before posting. Next time you imply swearing I may inform someone. Notice that the CoC says no swearing. Thank you. Edit: This is supposed to be more of a thing to identitfy yourself as a Trakovite, and then if it gets big enough try to tell other about it. I'm interested to know how many people support Trakovites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Historical distortion. EDIT- Whoops. Sorry, Ratt. Didn't see that. By the way, Nalyd is an obsessive cusser in real life, so it's second nature to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Trakovites follow Trakovism. Really, if you follow Trakovism, you're a Trakovite. Just go with Trakovite. Trakovites are called such because the word of Trajkov got distorted, and he was the big wise foreigner with no "j" in his name that threw away the temptations of the Geneforge. Khyryk (spelling?) explained it after asked. Or maybe it was the guy in Dillame. Anyways, it wasn't the Drayk. PS, many people feel that Trakovism is equivalent to nuclear proliferation, a good idea but unimplementable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 No. . . Trajkov the canister- and Geneforge-obsessed Sholai from G1 is the person who the Trakovites are named for. Historical distortion. They're both more or less equally evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 That's what I said. Though I can understand who my post could be misunderstood. I'm sure that Trakovites would be Barzites if there weren't already Barzites. All for the irony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Is anyone actually interested in stating that they are a Trakovite and maybe joining? Or any names? If not I may ask a mod to close the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I think you are one of the few Trakovites. Anyways, why not convert this thread into a debate about Trakovism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk The Crimson Coyote Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I kind of agree with the Trakovites. But I do think that Shaping should not be thrown to waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I agree more with the Trakovites than the others. I think Jeff will take that ending for the start of GF5 since only with a stalemate can either side still win. The other endings leave one side in power with frightening results.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Taliesin Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Shaping is too good to discard, but it's also easy to abuse. Therefore, it needs strict regulation by wise, stable people. Loyalism in a nutshell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Alright, anyone who thinks that the Trakovite motives make logical sense put =:T:= In your signature. Also anyone who is not up for getting rid of shaping completely or right away, but do think the Trakovites have a point, can put it in your signature. Nalyd: Apology accepted.

Chittering Clawbug Khyryk Eye Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I'd like the option to play as a Trakovite in G5, just because it'll be tantalizingly difficult, and more fun to try to steer a middle path between sects. I don't really agree with their ideas though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 According to dubious legend, 'mafia' is an acronym for some Italian slogan. Perhaps this new group could be named in a similar way, from a basic proposition like, "The rebels are kind of vicious, imitating the evil Shapers."

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Are you saying that you want to put... oooh, I see, the first letter of each word spells trakovite. I don't think that would work, unless we found something good to use. Any way not everyone would support what was encoded in trakovite.

Chittering Clawbug Lowbacca Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Meh. The Trakovites are my favorite faction in gf4. but i foresee them getting overboard with the whole abolishing Shaping. Anyways, I think he should bring back the Awakened. They were awesome. Well balanced. Powerful. Not annoying to all end. Which they were considered rebels right? in gf 1 and 2 there weren't just the shapers and rebels. there were a many different factions. Anyways, who thinks the rebels are going to split into two different factions? Who thinks the shapers will split? I think its funny too that the attention has been drawn away from the serviles. Oh, and who actually likes the drakons? I don't find them all that useful to create. And the characters that are drakons are beyond annoying. And im in favor of the old servile look back. In the first three. The new look is ugly oh and the firebolt animation from gf 1. that one was awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the characters that are drakons are beyond annoying. The only problem with the rebels splitting is that the human faction has been virtually destroyed. Even if you have the best possible rebel ending their isn't much left of the human side of the rebellion. Its almost as if the drakons stood by and let the humans get destroyed so they wouldn't have to share the power. After the Ashen isles and initial invasion what did the drakons do?
