[OOC] Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

[Dinh AaronMk]

Oh cool.

Pecked over the first pages. Don't think I got time to finish it this morning. Work and all that.

In the meantime, we do need some IC posts. I know I fucked around for a while before posting my sticky-note of a post.

[Cantankerous_Arthropod]

I've been thinking this for a few months: doesn't it seem to you that world politics are becoming almost as crazy as PoW? The power play in Ukraine or the proclamation of the Caliphate appear to come right out of our twisted mind. Putin used exactly the same justification as I did when Persia invaded Arabia, c'mon!

[Vilageidiotx]

I think the world has always been that crazy. We just like to normalize things in our minds and pretend that everything follows a simple, structural, and completely believable pattern that we get from paying attention to only the sterile details.

[Dinh AaronMk]

We'd make great politicians.

[Vilageidiotx]

Except i'm a shitty speaker, let alone public speaker.

[Dinh AaronMk]

All you got to do is invoke buzzwords and look really plain. Gone is the day of excited posturing and posing and shit from the 40's. You don't get people theatrically beating the podium or fisting the air.

We all speak now like we're at a funeral.

I remember something with a similar name to this one a website called "The Sporum"... Is this still open to new people, or no?

[Pepperm1nts]

That's because this is the same RP :P It has been going for years.

And yes, it is open.

This is the continuation of the same RP by the same people. Many of the core members - Vilage, Googer, and myself - are veterans of the Sporum. In a way, this RP has been chugging along non-step for... Fuck, three years?

[R4inator]

It's really you guys :D
I'm Spode-an, yknow, that noob RPer that came to the Sporum back in good old '11.

o hai.

I sort of drifted back to the place a while ago and nearly was taken back at how little the place changed. Everyone's still bitching about Sharples and "anti-Sporums" and Spore 2. It got to the point I ranted, which then summoned Slime and I was put back on BB's ban-go-round.

It was still worth getting to post this to preface the rant:

[R4inator]

Yeah, I got thrown onto the ban-go-round too. Meh, that place was a shithole and wasn't growing much if at all anyways, there wasn't much of a point in staying there.

[Dinh AaronMk]

To be honest I'll drift over there to look over Rebecca's Galactic Adventures LP thread. I'll log on to comment, like when she was mulling over "scare cams" and none of the propositions were actually ever constructive to do it. So I felt I had to swing in there like a ton of bricks to just break the proposal and steer her away from doing something stupid with it.

I then got bored and went up to General Discussion.

BlackBird's long sense left, but Slime is still there. I'm in contact with Slyth on a semi-regular basis so I can confirm he's given up.

Not sure if that's a hi-im-waving-at-you-as-a-greeting type of GIF, or a sexual innuendo type of GIF...
edit: I cannot into quotings correctly. qq

That's just a gif of me shortly after the massacre at MCF, where I lost my hand fighting for the honor of all Precipricks.

[null123]

MCF is a wasteland at this point.

[Pepperm1nts]

MCF basically followed the GoT plot. It was ruled by the Preciprick kings. They weren't the nicest kings, sure, but the realm prospered. Then they were overthrown, I lost my hand, and the usurper kings took over. Now the realm is ruled by some fat, drunk guy who doesn't know the first thing about ruling a kingdom.

Also, I posted in IC by accident. First time that has happened, but it was bound to. That's what happens when you open up the thread assuming it's going to put you in the OOC section of it.

[Vilageidiotx]

Is it sad that, despite the fact that accidental IC posts really don't happen, I saw that it said Hug's posted in Precipice IC and immediately assumed "Must've been an accident."

[Pepperm1nts]

Lol

I will return to Precipice one day. When I am ready.
