Re: [Nexus] The Wall III: Wall Harder
If there's a course for immoral enterpreneurs somewhere, they should take photos of this conversation, show them to students and say "guys, whatever happens, don't do it". And then, if one of them were to fail and humiliate himself, he'd say "well, at least I'm not Lou'Vre".

Re: [Nexus] The Wall III: Wall Harder
Does anyone in the Nexus try to solve problems without violence? You know, people, murder is illegal and immoral, even if the person you're plotting to kill is a vile little worm who has no respect for life himself.
Of course a raid to rescue any endangered employees of his and bring the worm himself to answer for his crimes is fully justified.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] The Wall III: Wall Harder
Well, when similar lethal forces are wielded by your opposition, it becomes difficult to solve any problems without violence.
And sometimes, there's no other way to further one's cause.
Of course, in this case, I was simply expressing disbelief at his stupidity rather than a serious urge to kill. I imagine any 'employees' of his are probably actually slaves in need of rescuing, as I seriously doubt any would work for him voluntarily when he behaves this way publicly.

Re: [Nexus] The Wall III: Wall Harder
Someone asked me to put this here for you all. If there's enough of a demand for the name of the person behind it, I'll put it up as well, but for now, I think I'll just leave it anonymous. Enjoy, Wall.
Below, someone seems to have slapped a piece of paper onto the wall, adhering it to its place with tiny little pins. Trying to remove or edit the paper is liable to get oneself electrocuted by the pins, so it's recommended that one not tamper with the thing.
SpoilerIn a world where gods and demons walk hand-in-hand with mortals, religion is something very easy to come by. Walking the streets, one can come across temples to all matters of beings and concepts preaching out their beliefs hand over paw over fist, each competing with the others to bring in more followers in order to gain strength and power. This is far from a new concept and is apparently quite a common practice across much of the multiverse. Here however, it is quite different in that religion and “gifts” from the gods are much more tangible than in many places, allowing some to even trade it as a currency or favors. I have seen some people swear by one god before turning their back and bowing to another. I have seen others wear the symbols of three or four gods or goddesses. The Nexus isn’t a place that lacks religion or belief.
No, from what I have seen, it is lacking in Faith.
It is my belief that even if people normally put the three words together, Faith, Religion, and Belief are all very different concepts. Religion is simply one person following the teachings of what they conceive to be a power higher or greater than them. Belief is the sureness one has that one thing is true (or false as the case may be). Faith on the other hand…
Faith is a different beast all together.
To me, Faith is the “belief” that something is more than real. That it is stronger than true and that when all else fails, what you have Faith in stands strong and looks upon the rest with scorn and disgust that they were weak. One’s Faith can be in their Religion of course, and one can Believe in their Faith, but not all people do. There’s been more than one cleric or priestess that has lost Faith. I have seen people Believe in Truth and Justice, but lack the Faith that anyone can deliver it.
It is easy to be religious when gods walk amongst men and it is even easier to believe in what should be unreal when miracles are preformed every day, but it can sometimes be the hardest thing in the worlds to know that something is the Ultimate Truth.
I know this, because I have felt such doubt, and even worse, had fallen into it.
In my moment of weakness, before I found my Faith in something greater than myself, I had accomplished a deed so inexorably wrong that when I had come back to my “right” state of mind, I couldn’t bear the thought of what I had done. Because of it, I had snuffed the lives of four people who did not deserve what I had done to them. I do not believe that many of those reading this have done similar things, but perhaps they have felt close to it. Even as I sit here, serving my redemption for the sins I committed, I feel that perhaps I can prevent such from happening to others if I explain what had happened to me.
See, what happened to cause such weakness wasn’t the events that took place prior. While I have no doubt they were a factor, they were not the cause. The cause of my weakness of spirit boiled down to one simple thing. Much to my shame, after I had ample time to think on it, I had realized that even though I had belief in what I was doing was good, I had lacked Faith.
I didn’t lack Faith in a higher power, for I don’t Follow any immortal being. What I lacked was Faith that the Good and Just that I had believed myself to be was True. I knew then, much as I know now, that I was a good person. I am kind and considerate, but now that I have had some of the childish innocence that blinded me taken away, I have grown to realize just how empty that feeling was. Now, in the walls of my penance, I have filled that emptiness with something that should have been there before. Not just Faith in being Good and Just, but Faith in knowing that I am better than that.
While I have done so, I am no cold-blooded murderer. I am not a brutal maniac bent on revenge or the insane logic of blood feuds. No, what I am is someone strong. Someone who should defend those who are unable to do so themselves. I am someone who will never murder another person in cold blood again for as long as I live. I know now that I am someone who shall stand between someone who had given into the weakness I had and the angry mob after them, believing that they will get what they deserve instead of a death to a group of insane vengeance driven people. Even if I detest it, I will do it knowing that I am Better than I was, that I will never give into such temptations again. When it happens, I will not care if the mob be made of mortals or superheroes for I know that deep within me, it is my purpose here to safeguard others. I will not care if the very Gods themselves try to take such a person from under my protection.
And know what I would do, my dear readers?
I would stand tall; look the Fates in the eyes, and if the time came, with the last breath of my dying body and defiant spirit, I would say one simple thing.
“Nay.”

Re: [Nexus] The Wall III: Wall Harder
There is a large amount of green smudge marks here, as if someone began to say something, smudged it out, and then tried to rewrite it. The smudged area is big; almost five feet high by three feet across. It looks like someone tried to write a full review, but smudged it out for some reason. There is one thing that is legible:

Re: [Nexus] The Wall III: Wall Harder
Well, excuse me, princess!
What's this I've read? You'd have Marcy doing community service for twelve hours a week picking up trash and depositing it inside of a designated trash receptacle as reimbursement to the community for what he's done in lieu of a bloody execution? Hah! Not a bad joke. Not bad at all.
Violence is the most effective solution. In this specific case, it is both fair and swift. Marciano tries his best to stomp on our nerves and intimidate us and we squish him like the worm he is! Because his best isn't the best! If he had it his way, he'd do the same. To you. To your family. To me and mine.
Violence is simple and sweet. With it, he won't be desecrating the dead and he won't be carving or enslaving hundreds of innocent weak-willed people. And he'll learn his place beneath my heel. And maybe we can teach him a little respect on the side!
Think cost-benefit analysis. Is the going rate for the life of one caricature of a villain more or less than that of hundreds of civilians? And why spare him? So that he can give it another go? Not that the civilians are undeserving of death. All have sinned and gone astray.
And if we get a little something for our trouble when all is said and done, all the better!
Faith in the 'Good' and 'Just' or 'Oneself' never takes precedence over acting as you can live with. Good and evil are subjective. Just is a pipe dream! A matter of perspectives at each others' throats. If I had a child, hypothetically, and someone did unspeakable things to and murdered him or her in cold blood in front of me, it would not be evil to wipe the murderer off the face of the earth. If you weren't aware that the murderer had abused and slain one of mine, would you not believe that I were the evil one?
Do not judge others or you yourself will face judgement, they say. But when someone wrongs you, do what you have to do. Do what you can live with. If some boozed-up brigand takes the life of someone you care for, strike back. Strike him or her down. If another is willing to die for them, so be it. He or she is guilty by association.
And if you aren't willing to off the murderer for yourself, do it to protect the next victim all you "moral" heroes out there!
Everyone is someone's daughter or son, but some don't deserve the gift they've been given. Their life. Take it. And have some fun while your at it. There's no harm in that!
And I'll see to it that you're rewarded for it. Details to come. Implementing the exchange system is after killing Marcy on the agenda, but it is on the agenda.

Re: [Nexus] The Wall III: Wall Harder
If only the Evil were willing to kill, Good would be a still-born dream. That's what I was taught as a child, and I practice violence so that people can choose not to should that be there wish.
