Sorry, you seem nice, if spineless, but I’m not the kind of person who gives up his seat at the front of the bus simply because someone determined to be better based on physical characteristics alone asks for it.

I want hammocks to be served on a first-come first-served basis.

On the other hand I am liking this antagonist idea. I could make war on the oppressors and their allies, it sounds like fun. After all it was you guys who drew first blood, and I am still glowing from it.

I understand, doesn't change the fact that I should probably kill you. Since you guys have resurrections on hold death isn’t a lasting thing, but it just might give you a sense of perspective.

There's a very good chance that she, like others, got a bit weary of the thread constantly being one fight, battle, crisis, disaster or somesuch after another.

I suggest we spend some time relaxing in the hammocks. . .and quit fighting so much.

ESPECIALLY amongs ourselves.

Interesting, not the impression that she gave, but I suppose I must follow the rules, no hammocks, no killing, except the bad guys, no choosing who the bad guys are, and exactly what is “powergaming”?

But Mal said we couldn't relax in the hammocks unless we intentionally broke the rules as suggested by twg.

But then if we do that why not break other rules? (Like the ones you gave that Mal already said I could break.)

I'm just confused.

Powergaming is when folks remove options from other people who want to RP in the thread. For instance, coming into a room, drawing a sword and killing all the bad guys before anyone else can write anything themselves. . .or the way TGJ 'vanquished' all of our enemies at one time. . .or the way Rat destroyed an entire planet because he was bored watching a beach volleyball game.

And the reason we discourage combat between Player-Characters is because this is not a real roleplay system. . .it's more of a 'chain story' than anything else. . .and there's too much risk of folks getting upset at one another...and "Well, they'll get over it." is not a good enough response.

Chrisisall is not here, to my knowledge, and if you refer to me who said I was angry? I killed him calmly I’ll have you know. As expected it didn’t last long, but he did kill all but three of the adversaries

*Kills an EI*

And I saw the need for a new one.

Apparently that isn’t the way it works so it has been suggested that I create a new clubhouse with gender equality.

Take a rat from a sinking ship role rather than a reformer's. Truth be told I've never been much of one for leading, in spite of my hairstyle, so we'll see what comes of what there is.

* TheRealMe takes off his mask, to reveal the man behind TheRealMe. *

Chris, I was merely repairing the damage you caused in a way that is plausible within the reality of our created world.

Chris, there is something that you are plainly not getting. We are here to have fun. We are here to be creative. It is a very long, co-operative story that we are all writing. You could be part of it, but you do not own it.

Nobody, not even TheRealMe, always gets his or her way. Quite often, I think of some interesting (to me) way for the story to go, only to find that someone else has taken it in a very different direction. What do I do? I go with the flow. Often, I am able to adapt my “lost” ideas into a new story. Sometimes, it is a challenge to continue the story from where someone else has left it.

We do not always agree.

Static, for instance, seems to have a low tolerance for fighting and adventures, or ship-threatening emergencies, or complicated plot lines. He seems quite content to wrap his cyber-arms around ThatWeirdGirl and pretend to cuddle in an imaginary jacuzzi. It seems that he could do that indefinitely.

I, on the other hand, consider this to be mind-numbingly dull (sorry, Static, no offense intended). I want the things that he doesn’t, namely the things that I consider a plot, a story, which by its nature includes conflict of some kind. That is why I depend so much on Rat and Cozen for getting us into trouble.

Now, when things do not go my way, I do not blow up the entire Sereni-Tree in a temper tantrum. I do not murder everyone on the crew. I go with the flow. I recognize that some folks want to do something different from time to time, and I let them do that. I do not spoil THEIR fun.

Then the action starts up again. That means it’s MY turn to have fun again.

We co-exist.

If you don’t like how the ladies behave in the old Clubhouse, then have your character react to it. But it is not at all fair to completely shut down someone else’s enjoyment. You can’t kill another person’s character. That is not fair.

Protest. Ignore the ladies’ rules. Start your own clubhouse. Spike the punch with a laxative. Whatever. Have yet another wave of Evil Invaders attack.

But don’t try to ruin it for everyone. Like I said, we are here to have fun and be creative.

If you are here to get upset and be destructive, then you are in the wrong place.

It is hard to create. It is easy to destroy. We have been working very hard on this creation for over a year now. Please do not ruin it for us because it would be easy for you.

This is still something that you could be a part of. But that is your decision.

-- Ed

Shoot! Can't remember all the words (remember, it's late) but here's what I CAN remember:

"Knights in white satin/ something something something/ letters I've written/ never meaning to send/ as these something before me/ something, something else/ just what the truth is/ I don't care anymore/ Chorus: Cause I love you/ Yes, I love you/ Lord, how I love you"

Really more of a song you have to hear. The part where he sings the chorus is awesome. Gives me chills.

Maybe I should try someting else.

On the contrary. . .

I thoroughly enjoy all manner of fighting and adventures.

I certainly enjoy cyber-lovin' on TWG as well. . .but I like a BREAK from fight to fight once in a while, and the only thing that bugs me is that just as soon as a cool volleyball game or jacuzzi party or somesuch, then the carnage begins.

Static,

I stand corrected.

ChrisTheCynic,

Yes, the Evil Invader plotline was abruptly ended by Grey, perhaps too abruptly. On the other hand, it was abruptly started by Emma. It can ALWAYS come back, since we have that orbital ship/station that I disabled (but did not destroy) with my orbital weather control lasers.

That is how the game is played.

Now, let the more mellow residents have a little time relaxing. Then, after that time, the Evil Invaders can have their next wave of attacks. Or send some super-champion. Or whatever.

By then, hopefully, Jet, Needleseye, Grey, and I can have the Sereni-Tree back in working order.

(Note that someone had the ship's engines damanged right before we were about to take off. That ruined the plot line I had in mind, but what came after was fun, too.)

Besides, if your character tried to set fire to the clubhouse, some other character would stop you or put it out. In fact, that did happen. You can't just have the whole thing burn down in an instant, killing everyone inside.

And if you REALLY don't like the Clubhouse, don't go there. You can come to help us in Engineering.

In fact, I had been trying to end her rampage for a while, but OTHER people had her escape! HOWEVER, if Static had shot her between the eyes on the post after I first had her escape, I would have been miffed.)
