Nexus OoC IV: We're All Mad Here

[Trobby]

*thwaps Introb*

This is a GAME.

We do it for FUN.

Take a night or two off. It's okay! You won't get fired from ffrp, and everyone will still be here when you get back.

Says you. This is going in your file, Introb.

D= But...but plots! D: Characters doing things! ;-; M-my creations! Noooooo~!

...<.<; It's entirely possible I have an entirely too healthy relation with all characters of mine.

Bleh...I'll give them each a post for tonight and take the rest off. ^^; It's not going to be a good week for me though...too much to do that I didn't do already. ;-;

[Murkus]

Seriously, like Happy said. It's a game we're playing for fun. No need to worry if you miss some stuff.

[happyturtle]

Forcing yourself to post when it feels like work leads to burnout, and burnout leads to dropping out completely. And then your creations would be stuck in deadtime FOREVER!

Take a few days. A week. A few weeks. It's okay! You can jump back in anytime!

[Trobby]

Kay. <.< Just don't all of you run off with the world while I'm taking a break, K?

[happyturtle]

BTW, the rabbit boy on the bar in Trog's is now an actual corpse, and is godmoddable as such. It does all the stuff a corpse can do, such as be at room temperature, slowly rot, and not resist anything done to it. If examined, it appears to have been dead for about a day.

Going to go to bed now. *hugs and poofs*

Aww...

I had to look up David Fincher, but...
It's really that creepy?

Well... I know the minions are at least. I know I wouldn't want to deal with a bunch of orderlies with no faces.

Well, I've been reading 1984 for the first time as part of my English Lit. class, and well... yeah.
The Mental Hospital is officially now the Ministy of Love. Yes.

Edit: Also, what Stroffy is doing to Magtok re: Cynthia is absolutely disgusting and I hate hate hate his face and want him to die.

[Reinholdt]

All it takes is love.

That's a lot harder than it sounds.

[Reinholdt]

Yeah, it is.

Really? Stroffelnburg has to find a way to get character's backgrounds to make sense in a normal setting, lest the entire process fall apart! For characters like Warwick it's easy. But Magtok's Cynthia and Regina and stuff make it a lot harder.

V But I don't understand teh disgust!
Probably cause I have to think this stuff up.

[horngeek]

Doesn't make it any less disgusting.

This from the player that tortured and murdered an entire planet of Force Sensitive Night Sisters, just to give his one character "Life"?

One death is a tragedy.

A million is a statistic.

In other words, look up 'monkeysphere'.

[Lex-Kat]

Um, I don't care about "Monkeysphere".

If that's what it says, it's worthless. One life is a tragedy. Millions of lives is a holocaust.

[Recaiden]

Um, I don't care about "Monkeysphere".

If that's what it says, it's worthless. One life is a tragedy. Millions of lives is a holocaust.

But quite rare is the person who cares anywhere near as much about any one person in the million as one person they know.

[horngeek]

But quite rare is the person who cares anywhere near as much about any one person in the million as one person they know.

This, essentially, is what I meant.

[VampireRot]

*coughcough* Mortality issues aside, lets get back on topic, shall we? *coughcough*

So, where is the brainwashed mob of NEXUSTOCK NPCs in Inside?

Cause Zanny needs to pretend to be Gordon and ensue hilarity.

Course, I need to think of a funny thing for them to do...

[happyturtle]

@ RecaidenOr about npcs as much as pcs.

I think the real difference that makes Stroffy seem more horrifying is that (if I understand the character right) he fully believes he's doing good. Whereas KR-15 knew it was a monstrous evil genocidal robot thing.

But both acts are scary and horrible, and trying to rank evil usually doesn't go well.

@ Rot: Maybe put the mob in Outside now, and then Inside? Dunno

[Ashen Lilies]

It was a village in that case, not a planet. Not that it makes anything better, but you know, FYI.


I don't see your point though? Just because one of my own characters has done disgusting acts of cruelty and evil means I can't hate other characters for doing the same?

[The Bushranger]

I think the real difference that makes Stroffy seem more horrifying is that (if I understand the character right) he fully believes he's doing good.

The road to Hades is paved with good intentions...

[happyturtle]

Bad intentions get you there too.

Unless you run into Butler on the way.

[Reinholdt]

What? Don't be silly. Butler will happily give you a tour of Hell.

Doctor Stroffelnburg does indeed believe his claims and his good intentions. And he could even be right, you know? I don't know which reality is more scary though.

[Lex-Kat]

Count me among the rare then.

When I think of the loss of human lives in such tragedies as the Holocaust, the Holodomor, the Rape of Nanking, or the Trail of Tears, it sickens me to think that I could be, in any small way, related to any of those who commit these attrocities.

Not just those in charge. There are smaller, unknown "soldiers just doing what they are told" who are even worse than Mao, Stalin, or Hitler. The ones who look at these people and do nothing to help them, they are far worse than those madmen who tell them to do it.

EDIT: Sorry. This rant was interupted by work.

Kid Kris. No, I was just find it odd that you feel such disgust with someone who doesn't feel he's hurting anyone, but healing them.

Compared to KR-15(?). Yes, one village of Night Sisters. But am I wrong in remember the destruction of a whole planet? I do seem to remembering that happening in GLoG, which is why I asked you, none too politely, to make a new thread for it.

[The Bushranger]

In other news, that Digar Dreadnought that keeps getting mentioned in relation to Erin's Emporium finally appears on-screen.

Thank you.
The agility of cats is often brought up, but we can still easily be surprised by their capabilities.

This reminds me, does anyone have a picture of the Dramatic Hampster on them?

No, but where the heck is that ROFLmancer? He was like the coolest villain ever.
