[-] Subj: Here's my @comment on the human condition
[-] KF is abusing power and doesn't give a shit
[-]
[-] I was in the bowling alley, KF walks in, I look at him and
[-] it automatically knocks me out. I woke up, said "Fuckin
[-] thanks" and KF told me it was my fault for looking at him.
[-] I got annoyed with this because I was trying to play my
[-] character and be stealthy and this fucked that up as
[-] another character came in and had the same thing happen to
[-] him and also looked at me.
[-]
[-] I called KF on it, using a few swearwords here and there,
[-] he blamed me for looking at him still and told me to go
[-] away, I said one more thing and he celled me. He still
[-] thinks this is a perfectly okay thing to do....
[-]
[-] There are a few problems with it.
[-]
[-] 1) If KF did this because he wanted people to focus on the
[-] IC game, he should just have been invisible.
[-] 2) This fucks up the IC game more than having a look
[-] message of "OOC ENTITY, IGNORE" because it unhid me, made
[-] me question it rather than going about the game after
[-] simply reading a look message.
[-] 3) KF was totally unwilling to discuss that there may be a
[-] problem with it, he preferred to put me in a cell and not
[-] let me play the game, which fucked up an IC deal that I
[-] currently had going at the time. WHOOOHOO!
[-] 4) Being put into a cell is not easing the flow of the IC
[-] world.
[-] 5) The only reason to do something like this is to
[-] demonstrate the power that a god has over players. Ego
[-] trip. (I really wish this MOO was more democratic!)
[-]
[-] I really think KF is abusing power here and shouldn't feel
[-] that the lowly players are a burden just because he
[-] doesn't get paid to work here. He can walk away ANY time.
[-] I think KF needs some cooling off to let the monstrous
[-] ego die down, maybe he should be put in a cell.
[-]
[-] If anyone wants a log of what happened, full actions and
[-] conversation, I have a copy.
[-] Moomail me or e-mail at idwelander@yahoo.com
[-]
[-] I know it doesn't seem like a big deal to yall, but it
[-] ruined my RP for the day, and I think you need the heads
[-] up.
[-] Peace.
[-] (Caution: long post. Sorry I might not be able to respond
[-] to this much cuz I'll be on the road.)

[-] [16509]---From: Kingfox at Fri May 25 5:58pm 2031---
[-] Subj: Hi Ivan.
[-] I'm sorry that I disrupted your RP. But you see, my
[-] description's already done what I wanted it to do - you're
[-] never going to look at me, an OOC entity, again.
[-]
[-] Let's get my side of the story, shall we?
[-]
[-] Here I am, trying to make some improvements to an active IC
[-] area. Instead of shutting it down and revamping it while
[-] cutting off players' money supply, I quickly dig the areas
[-] and message them up nicely. I whip up some code, fit
[-] everything into place, and as I'm finishing up the last
[-] room/exit set, someone walks in.
[-]
[-] This person promptly looks at me, an OOC entity. The
[-] person is SET OUT OF CHARACTER SO THEY CAN'T BE HURT and
[-] falls unconscious for thirty seconds. I keep an eye on
[-] them, and make sure that nothing bad happens to them, and
[-] finish up the last exit set.
[-]
[-] So I'm happily whistling along, finishing the messages,
[-] when the person starts ICly talking to me. They accuse my
[-] of disrupting their RP, being a bigger jackass then the
[-] last time they talked to me, and in general being an
[-] uncivilized steaming fetid dog turd. Now, I'm not always
[-] a nice guy. Sometimes I'm a rude motherfucker. Most of
[-] you know this. But generally I treat people the way I
[-] want to be treated, and if this player was following the
[-] same logic, they wanted to be treated like a used old
[-] tampon covered in maggots.
[-]
[-] After a few unkind comments, I asked the player to leave,
[-] and expressed my sincere desire to finish my work in the
[-] IC world so that I might return to the OOC world from
[-] whence I came. The insults and negative comments were
[-] unrelenting, even after multiple attempts on my part to
[-] stop them. Now, if I'm insulting you and you ask me to
[-] stop, I have to stop. Same thing goes both ways. It's in
[-] the 'rules'. I know. I wrote them. So after a few times
[-] of asking this patronizing belligerant person to stop, I
[-] celled them. I suggested that they cool off a bit.
[-]
[-] Apparently, 'cool off a bit' means 'page often with more
[-] nasty comments' in this person's language, since that's
[-] exactly what they did. After they finally figured out the
[-] cause and effect relationship between 'curse at KF' 'sit
[-] in cell' and stopped paging me nonstop like a rabid
[-] aborted hyena fetus, I let them out. They spent under ten
[-] minutes in the cell.
[-]
[-] Lessons to be learned from this:
[-]
[-] CS is not a democracy. CS is for the players, and the
[-] administrators. But CS is not a democracy. If CS were a
[-] democracy, it'd be like LambdaMOO, and it'd suck.
[-] Don't insult people after they've asked you to stop. Be
[-] they admin, fellow players, and this goes for admin as
[-] well. We all deserve an OOC break from each other. We're
[-] supposed to kill each other ICly, not OOCly.
[-] You bitched for a long time about the thirty seconds of RP
[-] I ruined for you.... for much longer then thirty seconds.
[-] And you sat in the cell for longer then 30 seconds. If
[-] your RP was really what you were worried about, why waste
[-] your time talking with an OOC entity when you could be
[-] RPing?
[-] Finally, attempting to tell off or curse the person with
[-] the @toad button is suicide. I am a nice guy. You were
[-] released without punishment for telling off an admin after
[-] they asked you multiple times to stop. I've seen people
[-] toaded for that. And I'm not talking about recently, I'm
[-] talking about years ago when you started. You should have
[-] taken notes back then.
[-]
[-] No, I don't get paid to put up with you insulting me. Yes,
[-] I can leave. But I don't want to. You can, however,
[-] SHUTTHEFUCKUP and SITTHEFUCKDOWN. Next time, please do
[-] so. Thank you and good day.

[-]
[-] You want realism? You want your realism so that a SMG
[-] could blow up a sword person?
[-]
[-] Fine, take your realism. But you're fucking goddamn taking
[-] 100% of it.
[-]
[-] Did your player eat anytime this week? No, then pass out,
[-] you starving fucker.
[-] Did your player drink this week? No, then dehydrate you
[-] fucker.
[-] Take a shit or piss this month? No, then how about some
[-] cramps you constipated fucker.
[-] You using your adren pump many times a day? How about a
[-] heart attack or two from overstimulation you fucker.
[-] Wielding a sword in non-stop combat for a half hour?
[-] Here's some fatigue and exhaustion you fucker.
[-] Just barely survived a fight with your life? It ain't
[-] going to be so simple as logging off for half a day to get
[-] healed. It ain't going to be so simple as `doc heal me.
[-] Wait 10 mins. `doc heal me. Wait 10 mins. Try a couple
[-] of weeks in the hospital if you want your fucking realism.
[-] You want your realism? Most of the people in this game
[-] have said something or done something that would get them
[-] blackballed from the Syn and/or killed by a megacorp.
[-] Advertised some Netwatch Jumpsuits, IO armor, or a Gunshin
[-] Lykos sidearm on Wantads? Here's a fucking secteam
[-] sitting outside your door waiting to pop a cap in your 'I
[-] want my fucking realism' ass and kill you, with NO RP
[-] beyond, 'FREEZE DIRTBAG!'
[-] You gone mucking in the sewers lately to complete a Oracle
[-] job or get a job from Ratlord? Take a shower or change
[-] clothing after that? Then kiss off being let into the PD,
[-] XS, BL90, Syn, or any decent establishment. Hell, I doubt
[-] KP/J would even let you near them.
[-] Speaking of which, I doubt KP/J would have as many jobs
[-] available as they do, if you want realism so fucking badly.
[-] You want your SMG for your motherfucking diehard realism?
[-] Then when you start spraying SMG fire on the streets or in
[-] most CS rooms, expect to hit a few random innocents.
[-] Expect a few of those random innocents to survive, through
[-] dermal or armor. Expect a few of those to have REALLY BIG
[-] FUCKING GUNS AND KILL YOU FOR USING BURST FIRE IN A
[-] CROWDED AREA YOU DUMBASS PIECE OF SHIT!
[-] You want realism? Then there would be far more knives and
[-] pistols, and far less swords and automatic weapons. And
[-] far less money for people to have. Read 'help theme'
[-] again. No, again. Read it. Take a remedial English
[-] class if you need to.
[-] You want realism? Then expect to get mugged by people
[-] bigger than you on a regular basis just from walking the
[-] streets.
[-] You want realism? Then I think half of the playerbase
[-] that's lived for more then a couple of years in New
[-] Carthage would start to have to get cancer treatments.
[-] Realism? Then you'ld actually die FASTER. Bullet to head,
[-] you are dead. No RP. Sledgehammer to head, you're taking
[-] a nap.
[-]
[-] CS is not 100% diehard realism. We try to find a balance
[-] between realism, fun, playability, and challenge. If
[-] we're not doing a good enough job for you, either come up
[-] with some constructive criticism, or shut the fuck up.
[-] You only make the situation worse, you whiners.
[-]
[-] If you have some good ideas to improve the balance of CS,
[-] beyond 'I have been here eight years and no geek with a
[-] sword can take me out if I have a SMG.' We're talking
[-] something to go with... something beyond, 'we need more
[-] gangs.'
[-]
[-] But the most you could do for the game? Stop posting to
[-] Meta unless you have something constructive. I dare you.
[-] Go out into the game, role play, start some shit. Pick an
[-] IC fight with your OOC buttbuddy. Team up with someone
[-] you don't like OOCly and.... not fuck them over unless you
[-] have a damn good IC reason. Take down an IC asshole who's
[-] liked OOCly. Stir up some shit. Grow a spine, a pair of
[-] balls, develop a brain, and do something. There are
[-] plenty of tools for RP out there, so why not shut your
[-] cakehole and do it?

Bring back gangs.
--------------------------

[page] Kingfox [to Al] Hi, Al, is it? Yes. @idea is for well thought out fully developed intelligent ideas. Not 'bring back gangs'. That idea is along the lines of 'more tartar sauce'.... a sophomoric and futile idea, an excercise in shallowness. If you wish to further enrapture us with your lucid thoughts, I suggest that you please do a bit more background checking as to the general purpose of your ideas. Maybe a brief, or mission statment, before each idea. For example, there are gangs.. the KiNGS, DDS, and perhaps you could attempt to constructively fix this IC problem ICly instead of pulling on our proverbial virtual arms as a lost child whittling away at the patience of a nanny, pleading and begging for some form of gratification by our godlike powers. But that, of course, would be too difficult, right Al?

Who says that we don't read @idea or @bug?

I read it religiously.

[-] Hi. Welcome to math.
[-]
[-] Percentages. 100% is TOTAL. 50% is half of the sum total.
[-] 100% of a pound is sixteen ounces. 50% of a pound is
[-] eight ounces. Now, when we take 100% or 50% of half a
[-] pound, we get eight or four ounces, respectively. What
[-] does this have to do with your fucking ratings?
[-]
[-] THE REASON YOUR FUCKING NUMBERS CHANGE IS BECAUSE YOU'RE
[-] NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THE GAME. That's right. If BOB,
[-] the top solo, spends a fuckload of points on agility and
[-] pistol and such, and you spend ONE point on pistol, your
[-] fucking solo percentage is going to go down because you're
[-] now LOWER then Bob. You are LOWER then the top. The top,
[-] the sum total god that is 100%, is higher then your lame
[-] shitty pathetic wanna-be poser ass. That's why your
[-] number drops despite your stat/skill boosting.
[-]
[-] Ever visit the CyberSphere website? Ever notice how the
[-] TOP PEOPLE in each category are at 100%? Do you THINK
[-] that's because they have some perfect combo of skills and
[-] stats that set them at a certain mathematical point such
[-] that they reach exactly 100%, never more, never less? Do
[-] you honestly think that? No. Kingfox wrote it up such
[-] that the TOP people in each category were 100%. You know,
[-] the big event. 100%. Max. Top score. So your little
[-] fucking '@ratings' are how you stack up against the TOP
[-] person in each category. A quick visit to the CS website
[-] that Incog made look oh so cool and wonderful and
[-] beautiful, combined with four brain cells, should have
[-] taught you this.
[-]
[-] Or, the summary: Snapple's right. Play the fucking game.
[-] I made the @ratings verb because Mick was too IC for such
[-] an OOC thing to be delivered. There are more people then
[-] you in the game, so get out of your apartments and coffins
[-] and interact, so you can stop hitting @rating every day
[-] after your high point, when you cptrade, then log off. If
[-] you're here to see big fat numbers in ANSI color, I can
[-] recommend some good MUDS.
[-]
[-] Sorry, KF is a bitter man tonight, and is taking it out on
[-] those who cannot make some subtle deductions using logic.
[-] So sorry.

in order to make the sphere more fun, and to bring game balance to the IC world. i suggest that we take another step tward making ahabs more like players.
adding some of them to the who was a great idea
i like that some of them now carry stuff that actaully makes them worth being targets
but i'm thinking along new lines...
i think the admin should write char-historys for every ahab in the game... and have them viewable to the general public.
that way we can better see how a history should fit the character as played.
it's not too much to ask... i mean, i've gone through probably a few dozen characters in the past year or two... and i'm not even commited to making the game. afterall i'm just a player here to enjoy the game produced by you.
i would actually be willing to read the historys you submit (i know it would just be yet another burden to find an editor... quite nice of me to volunteer my time like that huh?) and let you know if they meet my personal standards.
thanks.

Thank you Weed! We'll do that immediately!
[-] [1153]---From: Snapple at Tue Sep 26 2:15pm 2030---
[-] Subj: Corpse messages and odie messages
[-] Okay, people, I started looking at these today and some of
[-] them are TRULY terrible.
[-]
[-] Here's an example of what NOT to do for a corpse message:
[-]
[-] As you look down at XXXXX's corpse you notice while you are
[-] stripping his clothes off that he is a handsome man. You
[-] think to yourself, should I violate him? You ponder to
[-] yourself what it would be like to ride/ram the corpse when
[-] rigamortis sets in. You shake your head violently, as you
[-] come to your sences, then you mutter under your breath
[-] 'DAMN! I'M ONE SICK FUCK!'. You look around to see if
[-] anyone noticed your actions, take in a deep breath and
[-] forget about the whole incident.
[-]
[-] Now, while it has certain humorous elements, it's not
[-] something that is very IC. -Anything- that dictates what
[-] someone is doing is bad. But don't worry, far worse than
[-] the corpse messages are some of the odie_msgs that I've
[-] seen.
[-]
[-] Examples of what not to do:
[-]
[-] %T screams in terror as the shadows and shades of the souls
[-] he sent to Hell come crawling from thier waiting places
[-] and drag him off to meet his maker." (This isn't the movie
[-] Ghost. Thanks.)
[-]
[-] %N explodes in a violent explosion, chunks of ichor and
[-] splatches of blood fly everywhere... damn flesh wounds!"
[-] (This one isn't so bad, other than the fact that there are
[-] a variety of things that can kill you on CS, and very few
[-] are going to make you explode.)
[-]
[-] %T falls unconscious hitting the ground hard. *THUD* With
[-] his last dying breath you hear Bastard, I will not die
[-] like this He staggers back to his feet, C'mon pal! Is that
[-] the best you got? *THUD*, He collapses once again. I can
[-] take it all and then some! He slowly rises to his knees,
[-] Fuck you punk, I'll do it myself! You notice Him put a
[-] pistol in his mouth and *BLAM*, his head opens wide
[-] releasing a lifetime of blood and tears. G-night daddy.
[-] (No, sorry, you fucking died. Maybe you just took a full
[-] SMG burst to the head. You don't have time to make your
[-] big speech. And where'd you pull that gun from? And if
[-] you're going to kill yourself, why didn't you type 'kill
[-] me'? This is an example of just one of many 'suicide'
[-] deaths I've seen. Sorry, you died, and someone else killed
[-] you. If you want to suicide, type 'kill me' before the
[-] combat reaches that point.)
[-]
[-] You killed %t you fuck! (While I doubt this one is actually
[-] meant to offend the killing party, it seems as if some OOC
[-] entity is yelling at the killer for doing the killing.
[-] Something more appropriate would be: %T %<mutters>, "You
[-] fuck." before slumping to the ground, dead. Or something
[-] of that nature.)
[-]
[-] Time seems to stop for a moment as %T stares at you. For a
[-] good 10 seconds. Not doing anything, but standing there.
[-] Then..without warning, she sllloowly leans in until she's
[-] merely 3 inches away from your face, unblinking. She
[-] stares at your forehead... and utters four simple,
[-] distinct words. "My....GOD you're greasy." After which,
[-] time resumes, and %T continues with her death as
[-] scheduled. (Time stopping, time restarting, and a long
[-] drawn out death. What, the rest of the world just stops to
[-] watch while this person dies? Bob and Jim stop shooting at
[-] each other to appreciate this moment? This is a case of a
[-] death taking just too damn long. Take a chaingun burst to
[-] the face and you aren't going to be standing there 10
[-] seconds before uttering your final words and then
[-] collapsing.)
[-]
[-]
[-]
[-] There were others, and I could probably go on for quite a
[-] while. There were also a large number of really good ones
[-] too. I cleared a lot of the truly terrible ones, but by no
[-] means did I clear all of them. I'm hoping that you'll all
[-] take a look at your corpse and death messages and maybe
[-] rewrite them to be a little more themely and IC. And to
[-] all of you who have already done that, rock on.

The name is Rex. I have seen the NCSP, and their ways. I would like to start a real security patrol. A-NCSP... ANTI-NEW CARTHAGE SECURITY PATROL. These new officers will not harm anyone except for NCSP. But these officers will not cross the money wall to kill them (NCSP). They will protect the westside and their citizens from the massive attacks from the NCSP. These new officers will bring a bit more peace between both sides. And the new officers will not get crazt super-human weapons. They will be issued standard weapons. Only higher level of the officers would be premitted to use them. And A-NCSP will not allow citizens of westside to go eastside, without pass and a good reason. I believe this will provide more and better RP. As well as a good way to keep peace. Well a little anyways. I want this to work. I would like the CS council to pass my request.
--------------------------

Why yes, I'm sure that people will fund the A-NCSP as well as the NCSP.

Sorry, there's no money in protecting the westside. Ask NCPK about that one.

At some point at MB2K, I called the hotel room I was staying at from Dinh's pad, and talked to my fellow Jersey boys. They said that Serena, ix, Ymir, and the lot stole Roach's truck. A bit out of it, I logged on and newted the lot of them, leaving them a connect message about stealing cars. I posted something nasty about the theft to Meta. Dread's response was priceless.

It turns out that they just drove the two other Jersey boys home, since neither one of them was sober enough to drive. Whoopsie.

[-] Well, just to see what all this stuff is about, I decided

[-] off". Maybe it's because SD doesn't have the actual

[-] seems that it's in an infant stage, and it seems at best
[-] to be a "domed in" version of CS. Actually, I don't
[-] understand how a domed city can exist like a hermit,

[-] If SD is trying to steal coders from CS, then it's just a

[-] CS's closest rival, but if that's true then CS will
[-] probably always be on top because of the fact that it's

I was playing for the first time (Frank Sullivan) and while trying to learn how to interact with a female character, I kissed her. Krystal Meth then cut me open before I could figure out how to flee. I was wondering if the kiss ended my imunity because I didn't attack anybody.

Newbie walks into Last Exit. Newbie starts attempting to sleep with Krystal. As Krystal acts more and more annoyed and disinterested, newbie continues to use various socials on her. Krystal starts warning him to stop kissing her, and slaps him. Newbie offers to pay her, and continues to kiss her. Krystal attacks, stops combat to let newbie flee, newbie bleeds to death. And all the newbie has gleaned from that is that kissing is an attack.

Of course, immediately after this was posted, half of the oldbies out there immediately started screaming how they were older then that. The excuses varied.

[-] Subj: Three megacorporations unite to form new AACU
[-] Rising Storm Industries, GenSyn, and Gunshin Technologies
[-] issued a joint press release hours ago, announcing a joint
[-] effort. The field of autonomous armored combat units, a
[-] speciality of RSI, has been stagnant for the past few
[-] years according to many military strategists.
[-]
[-] 'Sure, you'ld think someone would take some AI barely
[-] meeting Turing's specs and slap it into a mammoth
[-] battlewagon capable of taking over most subcontinents.
[-] But no, they often flummox out, throwing in substandard
[-] AIs barely capable of playing tic-tac-toe!' commented
[-] Jane's Weaponry Journal this past quarter.
[-]
[-] Part of the press release relayed Gunshin's contribution to
[-] the project, namely the massive 'hellbore' cannons on the
[-] unit. 'Gunshin Technologies has finally mastered
[-] production of the hellbore cannon. For decades, this
[-] weapon has existed only in science fiction novels. But
[-] due to new advances in magnetic fields and portable energy
[-] production, we are finally bringing this weapon into the
[-] real world. A hellbore is a nasty device, capable of
[-] taking out most field units. In field trials, a
[-] stationary hellbore reduced a five hundred foot high wall
[-] of concrete into slag in a matter of moments. While we
[-] have not quite figured out how to tackle anything above
[-] low earth orbit with a mobile hellbore, the stationary
[-] hellbore is capable of projecting a payload a bit further.'
[-]
[-] GenSyn, typically dedicated to more biological projects, is
[-] using some of its intelligence tests and procedures to
[-] perfect the AI of the creation. 'RSI's drones and weapon
[-] platforms, like those of many other groups, are severely
[-] flawed and limited. They lack personality, emotion, and
[-] true sentience. With GenSyn's help, these shortcomings
[-] have been overcome.' read part of the news release.
[-]
[-] RSI's role in the triad was not made clear by the news
[-] release. The RSI representitive in charge of the project,
[-] Nat Helfinstine, has not returned calls.
[-]
[-] Some third parties are labelling this project as an 'unholy
[-] alliance of biblical proportions'. When this AACU will be
[-] tested, and more importantly where, remains unknown at
[-] this time. Regardless, you can count on Network 23 to
[-] bring the news to you first.
[-]
[-] For Network 23, this is Josh Silver reporting.

Now, after writing this up and posting it, do you know what the most common page I got was?

Can I get a hellbore?

Sure. We're talking about a giant tank of plasma channelled at an opponent by using a magnetic field. Something that was just perfected, and can destroy just about anything within low earth orbit. That won't unbalance the game or anything.

But Kingfox, why did you post about it if it isn't being released?

I don't know, maybe as background material for the IC world? Maybe as a backdrop for an upcoming plot or alliance shift? I don't know, maybe for the hell of it?

You know, sometimes I can't type Find out ICly fast enough.
Namazu says, "Y'know, I don't really give a flying shit. Reap both of us. I'm so sick of your holier-than-thou attitude - MY GOD, you would think you're god-damned Stephen Hawking or something, the way you talk. Your egos are all out of control, as they always have been. This place was a nice place to come to relax after work, but it's become more of a hassle than it's worth. Real life is much more exciting - you should try it sometime. And this is Zeph you've been talking to, btw. Yeah, I hassle the programmers but only because they (you) have all got your heads up your asses and don't know how to act like humans. HELLO, GODS?! Bite my ass, assholes." Background story - turns out two people were given the sanitarium by Faust. Just plain old given. And what were they doing with it? Living there. Only problem was, some old GE code dumped people into the locked room sometimes. The locked room, of course, they used as an apartment.

So these people would get randomly killed by newbies, and complain. We looked into it, and saw they had their own free building without IC reason. During the conversation... let's just say that one of my former co-bits got a little nasty, and Namazu just went off. It was sad, yet entertaining considering who he was yelling at.

First time I read this, I honestly thought the problem was in the code.

Second time I read this, I nearly died laughing.

Ok, it was around five or six in the morning EST, I was bored, he was there, so sue me.

He appreciates Fear Factory at least.  Most players don't like it when I scream angry lyrics at them.

Sad thing is, when I saw this post I realized I missed a few ahabs.

Guess I should take more time to post on here..
I personally say, just leave things be.  There's not much use in fine tuning this place at this point.  Fixing any major bugs that pop up, or finishing up current projects should be about the only things done on here.
Seriously.. don't waste your time. (Unless you particualarly want to.. and in that case, ignore this post.)
If RH opens as scheduled, then this place won't exist in 3 months.

When I was first bitted, I saw this post.  Nearly died laughing.  If RH opened as it was scheduled to, I'd have never been on CS.

I don't think Gregory appreciated me laughing at this post.  Looking back, I was a jerk.

[-] Subj: The unseen millions
[-] Good point.  I find it downright insulting that a certain
[-]  former NCSP officer who shall remain a nameless twink
[-]  (fired months and months ago, don't worry) started
[-]  screaming about how it was unfair that a news story was
[-]  written about him killing Valerie the refugee ahab.  Since
[-]  'noone' saw him do it, and he was just 'sparring', it
[-]  should have been ok.  BULL FUCKING SHIT.  Sometimes, I
[-]  think players should stop hitting who every few seconds,
[-]  and start hitting look.  Read the damned street
[-]  descriptions Incog wrote up.  Factory workers going off to
[-]  work, zoners milling about the streets.  YOU TWO HUNDRED
[-]  PEOPLE DO NOT MAKE UP NEW CARTHAGE.  If Club XS depended
[-]  on player drinks to stay afloat, it would have been
[-]  boarded up months ago.  If corps only employed players,
[-]  then Gunshin would have packed up and left.  You people
[-]  represent a sliver, a fragment, the most interested
[-]  members of the populace.  Not the entirity of it.  To
[-]  assume that you could find a killer based on them having
[-]  an implant is stupid.
[-] Furthermore, the idea that you can walk around killing
[-]  Cromags and refugees all day like you're trapped in a bad
[-]  graphicsless and soundless (unless you use PiMP!) version
[-]  of Quake is also pretty friggin' stupid.  I watch the
[-]  death toll.  Hmm.  Person wandering down Pullman.  Bo35
[-]  dies.  Mick23 dies.  Bill dies.  Ho hum.  Yeah, excuse me,
[-]  I'd like to see someone walking down the streets of a
[-]  city, post apocalyptic or not, and start killing people
[-]  like it's a shooting gallery.  THIS IS NOT A MUD.  MICK12
[-]  AND MARLY ARE NOT ORCS.  This is a ROLE playing game, not
[-]  a hack and slash adventure.  Thank you for your time.

What struck me as  funny are all the pages that I got following this post:

Things like, "Yeah, Orcs have decent loot on them!" or "Ewww, otherwise I would have slept with an orc!" or "Yeah, hack and slash games have more swords and more gold pieces.  I want gold pieces."
