Join the Resistance, We Blow Stuff Up [Week]

[Ravens_cry]

¡VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

Metaphorically, of course.
Yes, friends, the Clones are on the march, specifically on March 13th, those grey faced goons will try and take over this Playground.
But by Roy G. Biv, we won't let them.
We will fight them in the Friendly Banter,
We will fight them in the Role Playing Games,
We will fight them in the Homebrew,
We will Fight them in the Media Discussions,
We will fight them in the Play By Post,
We will fight them in Comics and the Webcomics,
We Shall Never Surrender.
***
Metaphorically, of course.

[Icewalker]

We don't want to take over the playground. We just want to exist here. Why do we not have the right to be the same, as you have the right to be different?

[Sipex]

Did I miss a key point here? What this is all about?

(Hint: Not the Hokey Pokey)

[Ravens_cry]

It has begun, sooner then I expected too!
If you have the right to be a Clone, Clone, then we have the Right to Resist Clones.

¡VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

[Zaydos]

What exactly would resisting clones involve? Among other things would a new avatar be required?

[LaZodiac]

From my understanding, since celebrating individuality is resisting the clones, keeping your unique avatar would make the most sense.

Additionaly, if I wanted to I could find a way to rework Herr Major's speech from Hellsing into a rant for this, but I don't wanna, I'm lazy.

If you want, I made one, but the Resistance is about the freedom to be different, and to prevent ironies that includes different forms of resisting. Just resist the siren song of the systematically same, and by Roy G. Biv, you are Resisting.

¡VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

[Lady Tialait]

Me friends, it has often been said that Me like be clone. Friends, Me like be clone. No, friends, Me love be clone!

Me love blandness. Me love collection. Me love sameness. Me love We, Us, Me love together, and complete take over.


Clones across prairies, in streets, in trenches, in grasslands, in frozen tundras, through deserts, on the sea, in the air, Me love every act of be clone that can occur upon this playground.

Me love blasting the resisters to smithereens with the blandest salvos that mutter across the lines of playground.


.....Me bored with this.

See I was wondering if I'd keep my avatar or need a new directly anti-clone one. Really forming and joining an active resistance unit involves some subordination of individuality. That said I don't trust anything that involves the complete subjugation of one’s personal ego to the collective. If I really wanted to resist in every way it would be a completely personal resistance which would not involve anyone else's attempts at resistance. But playing in a group is more fun

Exactly.
We are here to remind everyone that we are all similar.

[Ravens_cry]

Exactly.
We are here to remind everyone that we are all similar.

And the Resistance is here to remind everyone that we are all different, and that is probably a good thing.

¡VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

[Zaydos]

Exactly.
We are here to remind everyone that we are all similar.

Similar in that we are each unique individuals maybe, but identical is not the same thing as similar. For example I'm a dragon, I find squishy little humanoids tasty. *licks lips* Very tasty.

[xelliea]

Exactly.
We are here to remind everyone that we are all similar.

Oh god, we're too late, it's happened...

Similar in that we are each unique individuals maybe, but identical is not the same thing as similar. For example I'm a dragon, I find squishy little humanoids tasty. *licks lips* Very tasty.

I'm something along the lines of a demon.

[Ravens_cry]

Oh god, we're too late, it's happened...

It is never too late, not so long as there is men, woman ,dragons, kobolds and any other who are willing to rise to fight the banal and bland still stand.

¡VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

[Dvandemon]

Clones are good for that. We could get infinite resources with clone farms. Did you know, that the Human race has over 50,000 uses? Clones in every house I say and if they resist, just let them.

[Zaydos]

But different humans are best for different uses. I mean some have magical talent, some are strong, and some can build me that giant metal suit I've always wanted with the repulsor beams and the lasers and the giant super magnet. Clones? Clones have so few uses. Besides variety is the spice of life, and humans.

We object to this stereotyping. We are merely clones. It is you who wishes to change Us, not the reverse. We think grey is a nice colour. And that rainbow speak is hard to read.

[Strawberries]

Join the resistance, Strawberry. We can passive resist the <expletive redacted/> out of the Clones.

I can do that.

I'm here, resisting. Passive resistance, as you see. I mean, I have flowers and red paint and stuff...

...I heard we blow stuff up. When do I begin?

[Coidzor]

You forgot the song link.

[CynicalAvocado]

give me individuality or give me... uhhh... something? i forget

besides, i'm too lazy to change my avy

[Zaydos]

I can do that.

...I heard we blow stuff up. When do I begin?

I know I can't wait to, my breath is singing my tongue while I wait. *crackles with thunder*

[arguskos]

I hate Clone Week. People are so very... unmemorable. Thank you, Raven, for making my life far more enjoyable and notable in this respect.

Long live the Resistance! Down with Clones!

[Blue Ghost]

I was previously active in the SMBG branch of the Resistance, but as far as I have seen, there have been no acts of aggression by the clones this time around. Why not attempt to make peace with them?

"From hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. Ye damned clone."
-Captain Baha, who gave his life to stop the clone menace. If you don't get the joke, spell Baha backwards.

Speak ill of the dead, and they'll speak ill of you. Down with the Clones, in Baha's memory!

We would like to remind you not to eat clones or some clones might morph back into Dragons and then discover how tasty large dragons named Zaydos are.

Edit: We have a Tartan dragon that could use some new ingredients to add a special kick to his haggis, such as blue dragon intestines.

What color of dragon? I'm hoping for a brass one.

[Moff Chumley]

*shuffles into thread with soapbox*

We still wanna know exactly where in the clone week thread it says anything about Us being similar, aggressive, or even threatening. That is an assumption made by all o' ya'll with absolutely no basis in fact. It's a knee-jerk reaction to the unfamiliar and uncomfortable: We don't want you to like Us, We want you to accept Us. Clones or no, We're people too! The xenophobia, intolerance, and hatred in this thread is astounding! We've done absolutely nothing to provoke this aside from being different from you.

If Our punishment for being different is to become pariahs within GitP, within Our homes, so be it. We won't apologize for who We are, We won't back down, and We won't go away. So you can propagate your intolerance, but mark Our words: the time will come when We can wear Our clone avatars and use Our obnoxious capital first person plural pronouns without fear of being judged, whether the rest of you like it or not.

Good day.

*steps down off of soapbox, slinks out of thread*

Honestly? The promise of explosions.

Strangely I just was talking about how I wanted to eat haggis. I've never had haggis.

[Ajadea]

I hear we get to stab clones?

[Blue Ghost]

Guys, why don't we be reasonable...
I'm not accomplishing much, am I?
Well, this is wrong. Right now there is no justification on this senseless violence against the clones. You're the aggressors here, not them.
To think what such a heroic movement has become.
