when most of free Quebec are better educated then Coalittion States' counterparts, but every seems to give Free quebec a pass on the anti-bee things when most of CS's dees policy come from FQ to began with.Writers Block wrote:Um...I need an "Other category or I can't vote.
I do not believe every member of the CS is evil or racist. Most of them are just misguided and misinformed.
I think they need to be educated. Then they can be judged good or bad.

At least LARPers get out once in a while.
Trust me, LARPers arn't bad. The only thing that makes them bad is the "pretentious" attitudes of "True Gamers" who seem to think the only way to RP is their way.
Yeah, I've LARPed, and can tell you they are a lot more social than "true gamers". Ranks right up there with "True Gamers" who believe the best class is a rogue scholar and seem to feel supiror to someone who enjoys playing a cosmo-knight. you know, the "L337" gamers vs the "Powergamers".
On the other hand, outside the LARP game, they are rather normal people. At least as normal as any "true gamer". Course, dislike for someone who likes the "Goth" or "prep" or "Hip-hop" because they never could get over their highschool years of steriotyping, guess all those years being called a "nerd" or "Geek" did some perminent damage and feel a need to continually classify people in areas long after everyone else has given up and moved on.
Hey, Robert, you should totally try to hook me up with that Prentious goth girl in your group.

Look, we're all gamers whether Tabletop LARP Miniature. Sure there's never going to be a unified gamer culture but I say we've all got our place at Gen Con or any other gaming con, we should try to get along despite our differences in Roleplaying preference.

LARPers get out? too funny man. The only places they go out is to do they're LARPing at. Come on, those little boys n girls never actually graduated highschool. Most opted for a GED and still live with their parents
As for the Goth thing, I dont mind that, just another fashion statement. Until they put on finger armor...thats more queer then Richard Simins in a pink tutu.
More social huh? Yah, thats why if you arent a LARPer they thing they are better then us "poor" non-LARPing folk. They walk around and in their finger armor, black trench coats and fake vampire teeth and flash different hand signs and feel superior to the rest of us. They are only "social" with themselves. They live their entire pathetic lives in "The Game" and never care to "bother" themselves with the rest of us.
Oh and about me being "pretenious" for calling myself a True Gamer...yah I suppose I am. I take pride in actually having a life out side of the game, not living with my parents and actually have an education. I'm also proud of the fact that table top gamers were First. Its thanks to us that those who have fallen to the Dark Side of gaming (snicker couldnt resist) even HAVE a game to LARP. Thats why those types have to be called that. To classify them as being something other then the first gamers, the table top True Gamers. Accept no subsitute.
And you know what? Even after having said all that, I'm STILL less pretentious then ANY LARPer I've ever met.
I'm no LARPer but to me it's really no different than tabletop Roleplaying. LARPer's are just a little more dramatic about how they roleplay. I agree to me it seems a little too much, but ultimately it's just another form of roleplaying and I'm not about to run them down for doing it just because it doesn't appeal to me
Yeah well in My experience they tend to look down on NON-LARPer's and they are MAJOR (CENSORED)...

And speaking of goths, whydo theydressing that way? Do they just prefer that way to dress or is there an actual reason behind it? I would prefer if it was just a fashion statement myself, is it that simple?

In my opinion being human is more than just the genetics you recieve from your parents, and in this respect Prosek and his lackeys might as well be a splugorth and high lords.

just because your gm plays the Coalition as demon like doesn't mean the coalition are, but thats normally the main leaders but i bet if the high command find out about it that entire unit would be arrested and shoot for the crimes or a black op unit would be sent out to "clean up the mess".Ishtirru wrote:I do not believe they are the savoirs of humanity.

Men, women, children! Even pregnant women! They delighted in thier sadistic and evil doing just as much as any demon! Just comes to show that not only are there demons in the flesh of the supernatural but also in the flesh of the natural. Of humans. Let us not forget!
So while you march in your pride and arrogance coalition, you also march with pride, that you care not for your own, and only for your fear and politics! Down with the Coalition! Down with the Proseks! Down with the Coalition! Down with the Proseks! Down with the Coalition! Down with the Proseks!

That Why in My game I have a hand full of Pre-Rifts reappearing so that Tech-using humans have a place to go.
I literally don't understand half of what you are saying here, but the part that I do understand i have to disagree with. Prosek stance on human supremacy and antimagic/psionics has nothing to do with what he thinks is right. It has to so with how he thinks he can control the populace and gain more power for himself.
If Chi town had been attacked by high tech bandits instead of the Federation of Magic, and Chi towns magic users were the ones that saved it from distruction; Prosek would be leading a magical powerhouse in N.A. He would be saying things like "Mans faith in technology is what has brought all of these troubles. We need to embrace our past, and use our inherent magic and psionic abilities. Kill all tech users!" It is all only a means to an end for him.
I will grant you that most of the CS population probably thinks Carl only has thier best interest at heart, and that is exactly what he wants.

Do not listen to this Coalition scum. He would rather be an apologist then rather admit the truth. The truth is, these type of actions are a undeniable proof that they are not to be trusted even by thier fellow human. The atrocites are a result of the lies and evil that the coalition go by to brainwash the poor fearfull populatin that surrounds them. Also they recruit criminals into thier ranks! Criminals! If the Coalition ever succeeds in thier endevours, which they wont, thier atrocities won't stop! Emporer Prosek and his son will do everything in thier power to keep just that! Once the Demons and Magic beings are gone, He will turn agiainst his own species even more! I assure you good people of Lazlo and all good hearted people. They are no savoirs of humanity!
