Re: What is Ryzom?
That line is in the manual, but I've never seen "Ryzom" mentioned anywhere else. Is that the purpose of our adventuring? To solve this mystery?raynes wrote:That is the million dollar question. Where did you read what Elias Tryton said?
Re: What is Ryzom?
It's hard to say exactly what the purpose of our adventures are. One of the main purposes of the game is to tell the Saga of Ryzom.rolander wrote:That line is in the manual, but I've never seen "Ryzom" mentioned anywhere else. Is that the purpose of our adventuring? To solve this mystery?

Ryzom... Thats the stuff that you put in your brand and serial to make it taste better.

Ryzom...what we will have after I crush all opposition and subjugate everyone to my will. 8)
Re: What is Ryzom?
This is from an interview with David Cohen, done in April this year :
Nevrax:
It is a part of our brains (you have the same as mine normally) that is the interface between your brain and your nervous system. It is the best possible hardware we could use in the future if we wanted to achieve true sensorial immersion. I don't particularly like to image of plugging something into our body (not the way it is done in Matrix for example), but it could very well happen like the way it is done in Ghost in the Shell (I like jap anim a lot). Anyway, that's where Nevrax comes from.
Ryzom:
Which can also be spelled rhizome. Is another term used in science. A rhizome is a network of mushroom roots, these networks can cover an entire forest connecting all the mushrooms together as one plant, composed of individuals. And in astronomy, it describes a network of galactic anomalies. Ryzom means something, and if we succeed in our own quest (keep building this world for you), you will discover that other dimension later in the game.

Re: What is Ryzom?
If you look UP in game you will see that the planet is still growing. If you craft you will notice that NOTHING you make is metal, but rather, even HEAVY armor, swords and shields are made of natural once living materials.
The planet is LITERALLY growing, it is sending up ENORMOUS tendrils that will eventually make everything that is NOW above ground into UNDERground regions and NEW above ground regions will be formed.
The planet is NOT a dead spinning ROCK of partially molten metal like Earth is, it is a living BREATHING creature in and of itself. That is why the Kami and Zori are SO vehment in protecting it. Think about it, when you mine you are TEARING a part of the planet OFF and using it for YOUR OWN selfish purposes. This upsets the Kami, but they understand the need to defend yourself and make armor and weapons to fight the Kitins.

Isn't Ryzom pimp-speak for something? Where's Snoop Dog when you need him.

Re: What is Ryzom?
I found this nice little writing about "Ryzom":
What is a rhizome?
A rhizome is a horizontal, root-like stem that extends underground and sends out shoots to the surface. Rhizomes connect plants in a living network.
"A rhizome as subterranean stem is absolutely different from roots and radicles. Bulbs and tubers are rhizomes. Plants with roots or radicles may be rhizomorphic in other respects altogether: the question is whether plant life in its specificity is not entirely rhizomatic. Even some animals are, in their pack form. Rats are rhizomes... The rhizome itself assumes very diverse forms, from ramified surface extension in all directions to concretion into bulbs and tubers... We get the distinct feeling that we will convince no one unless we enumerate certain approximate characteristics of the rhizome." -p. 7
"A rhizome ceaselessly establishes connections between semiotic chains, organization of power, and circumstances relative to the arts, sciences, and social struggles." -p.7
"Multiplicities are rhizomatic, and expose arborescent pseudomultiplicities for what they are." -p. 8
"The rhizome is an antigenealogy." -p. 11
"Write, form a rhizome, increase your territory by deterritorialization, extend the line of flight to the point where it becomes an abstract machine covering the entire plane of consistency." -p. 11
"To these centered systems [arborescent structures], the authors contrast acentered systems, finite networks of automata in which communication runs from any neighbor to another, the stems or channels do not preexist, and all individuals are interchangeable, defined only by their state at a given moment--such that the local operations are coordinated and the final, global result synchronized without a central agency." -p. 17
"Let us summarize the principal characteristics of a rhizome: unlike trees or their roots, the rhizome connects any point to any other point, and its traits are not necessarily linked to traits of the same nature; it brings into play very different regimes of signs, and even nonsign states. The rhizome is reducible neither to the One nor the multiple... It is composed not of units but of dimensions, or rather directions in motion." -p. 21
"Unlike the tree, the rhizome is not the object of reproduction, neither external reproduction as image-tree nor internal reproduction as tree-structure. The rhizome is an antigenealogy. It is a short-term memory, or antimemory. The rhizome operates by variation, expansion, conquest, capture, offshoots. Unlike the graphic arts, drawing, or photography, unlike tracings, the rhizome pertains to a map that must be produced, constructed, a map that is always detachable, connectable, reversible, modifiable, and has multiple entryways and exits and its own lines of flight. It is tracings that must be put on the map, not the opposite. In contrast to centered (even polycentric) systems with hierarchical modes of communication and preestablished paths, the rhizome is an acentered, nonhierarchical, nonsignifying system with a General and without an organizing memory or central automation, defined solely by a circulation of states." -p. 21
(The quotations above are from A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Translated by Brian Massumi. University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis. 1987.)
And more:
"Write to the nth power, N-1, write with slogans: Form rhizomes and not roots, never plant! Don't sow, forage! Be neither a One nor a Many, but multiplicities! Form a line, never a point! Speed transforms the point into a line. Be fast, even while standing still! Line of chance, line of hips, line of flight. Don't arouse the General in yourself! Not an exact idea, but just as idea (Godard). Have short-term ideas. Make maps, not photographs or drawings. Be the Pink Panther, and let your loves be like the wasp and the orchid, the cat and the baboon. As they sing of old man river:
He don't plant tatos
Don't plant cotton
Them that plants them is soon
forgotten
But old man river he just keeps rollin
along.
A rhizome doesn't begin and doesn't end, but is always in the middle, between things, interbeing, intermezzo."
(from Rhizome by Deleuze & Guattari)
Really nice stuff! So now we know what awaits us further down the road, don´t we?
