Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

Um, a Totalitarian Police State.

I'll be on my own side.

Interesting. There are so many different stances, yet there's no one system to classify it all under.

Saint, that's my personal stance that I totally didn't forget to mention you in. ;)

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

I agree with Sir Fragula.... I think. If he said what I think he said, then I agree with him.

Basically, one person has all the power, with people under him performing tasks that need to be done. But the people in the society are allowed to speak their minds, and can actually influence the way the place is ran. In the end, though, all decisions come down to the person with power.

Yeah, I think that's what he said. >.>

It's a special type of political system existant only on the internet. It's called "The Admin is really in control, but he just gives peons extra power to keep the lesser peons in a state of fear to maintain a state of calm across the general server, but still controls all the power-achy"

Honest.

I think B.net is more akin to a mental institution, kinda like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Achronos is Nurse Ratched trying to give us all lobotomies and force pills down our throats to make us behave.

It's medication time, boys!

I'd say its an oligarchy.

You are so naive. People give opinions based on how they believe others will accept them. They know that if they say the wrong thing, someone's going to get them and anyone who does speak out is immediately silenced. I vote for communist. "Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others."

Phrog pilots, reckless and free. We would strap into our birds, set the engines on fire, and leave these earthly bonds with a chorus of WHOP WHOP WHOP. Akin to beating your chest and howling in defiance at the rest of the world.

Does this make impurity the court jester?
I thought that was KP.

I always thought that Sketch and Kuniklo were King Arthur and Guinevere, Achronos was the mysterious and powerful magician Merlin, Frankie is the lady chasing Lancelot, and the Moderators are incredibly handsome and terribly good looking knights. ;)

Did I mention that KP was the jester?

I thought I was the boss...or will be once Achronos is out of the way.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

We're Knights of the Round Table,
We dance when ere we're able,
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impeccable.

We dine well here in Camelot,
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.

We're Knights of the Round Table,
Our show are formidable,
But many times, we're given rhymes
That are quite unsingable.

We're Opera mad in Camelot,
We sing from the diaphragm, a looooooot.

In war we're tough and able,
Quite indefatigable,
Between our quests we sequin vests,
And impersonate Clark Gable.

It's a busy life in Camelot,
I have to push the pram a lot.

On second thought, let's not go to Camelot.
It is a silly place.
Wow Recon. I didn't know you did poetry!

I don't. I shamelessly quote geniuses to make myself appear smart.


You know what Nietzsche said about animals? (Go ahead, guess.)

When I gave this some thought, I felt this seemed sort of close to Plato's city. We have the masses (the members), the guardians (the ninjas), and the philosopher king (Achronos). However, I've also realized that this is also proof that the city could just never work as Plato saw it. Poor, poor old guy. He must have thought it up after drinking his daily half-crate of whisky.

For some reason, I don't feel like reading any of the Chat posts that Recon posted because he has weird chats. I heard that he threw a Ninja Star through his PC and into the eye of his chat partner. You've been warned!

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

It's movie dialog. Not a chat.

You can tell because no one says "lol" or "k".


It is movie dialog from my favorite movie: Monty Python's The Holy Grail. The Holy Grail is the ultimate comedy and considering my Bungie.net account is made in honor of The Black Knight who ends up with no legs or arms I must say:

Arthur: You fight with the strength of many men, sir knight.
(The black knight does not respond)
Arthur: I am Arthur, king of the Britons.
(no response)
Arthur: I seek the finest and the bravest knights in the land to join me at my court at Camelot.
(no response)
Arthur: You have proved yourself worthy. Will you join me?
(no response)
Arthur: You make me sad. So be it! Come, Patsy!

As Arthur and Patsy start to ride past the black knight, he suddenly speaks:

Black Knight: NONE SHALL PASS.
Arthur: (taken aback) What?
Black Knight: NONE SHALL PASS.
Arthur: I have no quarrel with you, good sir knight, but I must cross this bridge.
Black Knight: THEN YOU SHALL DIE.
Arthur: I *command* you, as king of the Britons, to stand aside.
Black Knight: I MOVE FOR NO MAN.
Arthur: So be it! (draws sword)

A short battle ensues, where Arthur, relatively unencumbered by armor, easily
dodges the slow and heavy strikes by the black knight. Finally, Arthur
dodges a strike, steps aside, and cuts the black knight's left arm off with
his sword. Blood spurts from the knight's open shoulder.

Arthur: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
Black Knight: 'Tis but a scratch.
Arthur: A SCRATCH? Your arm's off!
Black Knight: No it isn't!
Arthur: Well what's that then? (pointing to the arm lying on the ground)
Black Knight: I've had worse.
Arthur: You LIAR!
Black Knight: Come on, you pansy!

There follows an even shorter foray, at the end of which Arthur easily cuts
off the black knight's right arm, causing it and the black knight's sword to
drop to the ground. Blood spatters freely from the stump.

Arthur: Victory is mine!
(kneeling, praying) We thank thee Lord, that in thy mercy--

He is kicked onto his side by the black knight.

Black Knight: Come on, then! (kicks Arthur again)
Arthur: (on the ground) What?!?
Black Knight: (kicking him again) Have at you!
Arthur: (getting up) You are indeed brave, sir knight, but the fight
is mine!
Black Knight: Ohhh, had enough, eh?
Arthur: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left!
Black Knight: Yes I have!
Arthur: LOOK!!!
Black Knight: Just a flesh wound! (kicking Arthur again)
Arthur: Look, STOP that!
Black Knight: Chicken!!! Chicken!!!!!!!
Arthur: Look, I'll have your leg!
(The Black Knight continues his kicking)
Arthur: RIGHT! (He chops off the black knight's leg with his sword)
Black Knight: (hopping) Right! I'll do you for that!
Arthur: You'll *WHAT*?
Black Knight: Come 'ere!
Arthur: (tiring of this) What're you going to do, bleed on me?
Black Knight: I'm *INVINCIBLE*!!!
Arthur: You're a looney....
Black Knight: The Black Knight ALWAYS TRIUMPHS! Have at you!!
(hopping around, trying to kick Arthur with his one remaining
leg)

Arthur shrugs his shoulders and, with a mighty swing, removes the Black
Knight's last limb. The Knight falls to the ground. He looks about,
realizing he can't move.

Black Knight: Okay, we'll call it a draw.
Arthur: Come, Pasty! (they "ride" away)

Black Knight: (calling after them) Oh! Had enough, eh? Come back and take
what's coming to you, you yellow bastards!! Come back here and
take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!
