So, I side with the Hamidon.

My last post was pretty much an in-character rant from my Fire/Earth Dominator. She doesn't worship the Hamidon. She just thinks it has a point. Frankly, she's about as sympathetic to the DE as she is to the Resistance - both groups have very important issues they're fighting for, and both have lost their sense of perspective in the fight - neither can really tell what an appropriate response is any more.

The Loyalists, though, are fools with their heads in the sand. Praetorian society isn't stable, neither internally nor under external pressure, and no-one seems to be willing to change to accomodate a changing world.

Anyway, that's how that character saw it. Then again, she did tip off the PPD about the neutron bomb because it would kill too much wildlife and plants.

Actually the roots of plants hold soil together, preventing corrosion.

At least, if memory serves. ._.

They do that now. Before trees and their strong roots there weren't any plants that could break up rock to form much of what we'd call soil in the first place. Trees create soil. Even today, a key part of transforming rocky ground into soil is when the trees start growing there and breaking up the rocks.

God damn it I want mouth tentacles as a cossie piece

Point of Order: I believe to be official, a supervillain rant has to have at least one use of the word "Fools!"

Now, the above DID suggest a theme song to the tune of "Hey, Jude":

"Kill the hu-mans, and make it better..."

You smug, self-satisfied, myopic fools! Idiots! Every last single one of you. Scuttering about like so many cockroaches. Writhing and feasting like maggots freshly hatched on the carcass of Mother Earth, who was all too willing to sustain and provide for you in her own power! Of her own volition!

And you have the AUDACITY to call me INSANE. To call me misguided. EVIL even! Oh the irony. The bitter, bitter irony. Can you not see that it is YOU who are mad!

As a species, you have failed my beloved planet! You have failed every absolute standard of decency, honesty, and goodwill! And for that, you must be punished.

You. must. be purged.

I will not stand to see this affront to everything I hold dear! I will not stand for this sacrilege and ****! This madness. This unchecked, rampant, wild decadence and degradation!

Pah! And you... you fools who would seek to stop me...

Come, if you will. If you dare. I will be waiting, with the righteous host of heaven at my back, and the providence of the Divine blazing within my soul. It would be a fool's headlong charge into the purifying flames of absolution.

Now. Quiver in fear. Cower in TERROR. Enjoy these final moments of sin and depravity. Unleash your true nature and revel in the lust and gluttony that lies at your roots, that taints your very essence.

You are all beyond redemption.

Alternate take:

The Boogie Woogie Bugle Blasters.

We're maggots and cockroaches? And lusty to boots?

(Note to self: Lusty Maggots would make a good band name.)

Do you have an avatar to go with that speech?

Haha, I'll totally make one when I can get in the servers again in a couple hours or so.

My current avatar is the wealthy Barnabus Hopkins...

I don't really have a clear moral code, per se. More an amalgam of spontaneous feelings and essential tenets, the two of which can interact rather interestingly, as you perhaps may have guessed. For instance, I have a fairly clear belief that people should not hurt one another. Whether the actions of an individual inspire me to take action, however, is a moment-to-moment thing. I may apprehend a purse-snatcher, or I may have more pressing--and I shall not lie: or interesting--matters to attend to.

As another example, I would say I'm a proud person. How I view pride is such: it is respect for dignity, both that of yourself, and of others. I will suffer no disrespect--for that would compromise my dignity; but I will lower myself to others, as that in no way compromises my dignity--and indeed, to resist or rebel might well do so, in certain circumstances.

Well, some might accuse me of being slippery and setting myself up in a fluid and unclear moral framework, much like Houdini set himself up in "inescapable" traps. Honestly, I don't care. I seek only to live my life as I see fit, sowing a healthy amount of harmless chaos and eradicating evil and villainy as my whims dictate.

Mythical devils rule them all!

Pah so you say!

Everybody knows Godzilla is top of the food chain!

When we were redesigning the Hamidon Event a while back, I jokingly advocated having a chance to confuse players in the event equal to the number of HO's they had ever slotted.

See, that's what I've been waiting for ever since Hami-Os were introduced.

In the background I wrote for my very first villain that is exactly what happened. Except it was worse because Longbow had taken over Hamidon suppression and nearly all of their suppression troops had the equivalent of a full load of Hami-O's.

The villain came back in time to stop it...by killing lots of Longbow.
