CLEARLY the winner...and really Flea? I thought you were into chicks? *cackle*

rofl <3

I hate that man. I don't mind the homosexuality theme as you are pointing out...but that man is retarded. If I ever run into him here in LA (which is more likely than not at some point)...I will have no shame in spitting in his face...or kicking his shins...I'll do it so I won't get caught though...

<_<
>_>
<_<
>_>

Did I mention he has a reputation here in LaLa Land (and it's pretty much true as far as I know from reliable resources) as liking under age Thai boys? Yeah. Pedo. Hard. GROSS. UGH. I hate him. HAAAAAATE. I think he may be the ONLY person on the planet I actually HATE....

P.S...just came back from Marilyn Manson show...and it was...AWESOME! HA! My throat is shot and I'm going to go snuggle up in bed

???

roflcopter!

Huh?

QFT. And he was also created as an allegory for Jesus. Just fyi. Although Captain America was used MUCH more for this than Supes was.

But it was still anti-commie, that was the point. Have you guys ever seen those comics? Those things are HILARIOUSLY racist. I say that, because as an Asian, they really went mean on those Japanese. Cheggit:



LOLz. I had to do a cover recreation of several of these comics when I was working for Bob. I was laughing the whole time. MAN that crap was insane XD

[quote]I don't read comics, but I personally love Superman because he is a Boy Scout. It's something you don't see much any more: a paragon, someone you can truly look up to and want (your children) to emulate.[quote]

Really? I mean, I don't have any children and I'm not going to ever have children (unless I'm in my 50s and get bored and decide to adopt a cute little Korean girl to spoil the **** out of), but as a psycho-babble enthusiast, Superman is a very dangerous role model to give to children.

I say this because...he is the name-holder of several pathologies...none of which lead to "self actualization"....I'm just sayin'....haha

Damnit, everytime I see you post or someone reference to you, I keep thinking you are BlackJaguar. *thinks* *runs off to call him*

*falls out of her chair laughing* Love it.

qft.

Completely disagree. I'm just sayin'. :P I'd go into more detail, but I gotta drive my roomie to the airport haha

I'm gimped in one eye and practically wearing a patch, so I'll be the one-eyed pirate/clown....entertainment! :P I think? I have no idea. Hahaha

Happy Birthday...how young are you now?

And NO ONE IS COMING OVER TO YOUR HOUSE IRL TO CELEBRATE?!

Ugh. UGH. Here, this'll make you feel better...

-My 20th birthday, which was a big deal for me since I was no longer going to be a "teenager"...I LIVED with my boyfriend and he didn't even say Happy Birthday to me. Nothing. Nada. No Cake. Nothing. So I got my friend Katie who lived far away from me to go buy me a bottle of Jack Daniels and I got drunk on this game with my VG over teamspeak. It was epic....yet sad. (Oh, and this was after, for his birthday, I decked out the apartment, got him a cake, bought 2 collector editions trilogies of movies for him and did "girlfriend" things for him).

So if no one is coming to celebrate for you, being on Virtue is not a bad thing (and there's no way your birthday can be as uneventful as mine was LOL!) But, my online friends made my birthday fun despite the crappiness of the situation!

HOWEVER! If truly no one is celebrating. Gimme your phone number, I'll call you and sing you Happy Birthday at least. I object to people's birthdays having no celebration!

Gimme. Number. Phonecall shall happen I'm a good singer too...kinda...okay maybe not, but you'll at least laugh

Exactly. And it was cool at the time, but now it reminds of like...goth-wannabes or hipsters. It's like, "REALLY? Are you REALLY doing this? Go take a bath. You smell like feet." -_-

I KIND of actually put a bit of blame in the popularity of cliche characterizations. Creators try to add depth to "IDEAS" of people without actually trying to make them PEOPLE. It's the difference between giving someone psychosis and giving someone a legit pathology and psychological background.

Granted, I'm a psychology-nut, and I find that stuff the MOST interesting, but also the most believable. I don't want 2-d characters with HINTS of being real, I want a 3-d character who has plausible backgrounds and idiosyncrasies and pet peeves and the like! And ya know what? It never hurt someone to do a little research before just slapping on some B.S. psychobabble onto a character. Come on people. :P

I'm currently writing a religiously themed story...and I've been spending the better parts of my day researching the different realms of religion. ME! READING RELIGIOUS TEXTS! But I'm doing it, so I know wtf I am talking about *nods sagely*

/end rant <_<

And...LOL hun. That is AWESOME.

Ya know, I hear this from a lot of people. That making an SG/VG is hard. I never found it hard. Maybe I'm just a blind b*tch and way too Dr. Doom-esque to care, but it never seemed hard to me.

I didn't dick around, I would create a loose theme/concept to run with, have a couple of 'stays' for my group that I knew would always be there (at the time, my IRL boyfriend), then shortly after that a life-long friend I made on the game. Those two were great players, great friends, we got along great, played great, had similar hours (obviously), and we just rolled together.

In the rolling about together, we would randomly team with people, merge teams, or join teams. Almost every team we joined/created/merged we made buddies. Some buddies were destined to join us, others were not. So for the former, I would simply be upfront with what we were, what we wanted, and if they wanted to join cool! But we had a standing rule of even thinking of joining people - they had to get along with us OOCly (teamspeak, or ooc chats), they had to play the game WELL and jive with our playstyle, and they had to obviously RP-flow with us.

It always seemed to work. Granted, I have a pretty overpowering personality and I am a bit of a control freak so mayhaps the people were scared of denying me LOL!

Anyway, even in the running of the SG/VG...so long as you have at least ONE person who is going to be your second-in-command that has that loyalty to you who will continue your leadership in your absences, I don't think it's that freaking hard.

I never kowtowed to my members. Again, I had a singular vision of the kind of group I wanted and I wanted to see it executed (and if people didn't like it, they could leave, no big deal). Obviously there were things I would give them freedom over, individual things, but when it came to the group, you joined, you knew what you were getting into, deal with it or leave LOL.

Case and point, I simply typed up a 1 to 2 page "charter" that everyone had to read, understand, and follow. (I think I still have it actually). I dunno, I just never found the work itself that hard (including website, forums, and doing group artwork!).

THE ONE part I found annoying/irritating/hard was that everyone looked to me and me alone to start major RP events, I had to constantly remind them about that rule, that while I ran the VG, that they were responsible for partaking in the RP or creating their own (in which I would join in). And then also the private-tell hells I would get into. I'd be in the middle of trying to RP with peeps on a mission, and I'm bombarded with 1029581029381029381092480157102948098 private messages. BLAH.

Wow, I babbled, MY POINT HERE IS - it's not that hard. Just be CLEAR with what you wanna do and be "fine" if people don't want in or want to leave

....

/end tangent

Sorry. I wanted to share my perspective on the whole thing.

ROFL. I always loved your shtick Ascendant

Thanks and I need to learn this SK vanish...someone teach me!

I'm all for being gray and morally ambiguous, but you gotta do it RIGHT. I don't like how Marvel is handling their stories right now. I would go into further detail, but I'd rather the powers-that-be not banstick from work LOL!

However, on a purely hypothetical, philosophical, creative level....

No offense to any creators out there (<3) but I think that "anti-heroes" are SOOOOOO 90s. LOL! I have my own creative intentions on redefining some things. Problem with anti-heroes and the way that the "gray" is handled with current heroes is that people are not willing to "go all the way" with it, they aren't ready to go "b*lls deep" with it, ya know? No committment. If you're going to go that route, you gotta commit, go all the way, OWN IT. GO MICHAEL BAY STYLE AND SAY TO HELL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES! RAWR! But they arent.

Bradders, you are a goon. Shush.

Wait you can get modsmacked for going "*shimmy*"?????!

The problem with this statement, and anti-heroes in general, is this...

Heroes, generally speaking, function with RULES. To break those moral rules negates the title of "hero." It doesn't make you ANTI, it makes you "human." Which is fine, but when you are creating an air and mythos around you that is "more than human" (Think Nolan's Batman films, he created a mythos of the Bat, etc, etc), you have to maintain to a higher level of morality and rules. And I'm not just talking Superman or anything.

It's kind of like...when you become a professional athlete. You can be GOOD at your game but you aren't a "HERO" if you're a ****** (T.O. in football). However, you can be good at your game and be a good person and live to a higher standard, which makes you a "hero" (Peyton Manning).

If you're going to sit there and redefine morality and heroism, you need to actively do so to make it plausible...don't be "humble" but don't qualify yourself as a hero. Ya know? I have no idea if I am making sense...I need more coffee...
