[Flamelord]

I look forward to the inevitable discussion about people's weapons in the future.

What, like this?

Medieval guy: "What's that" *points at a modern rifle*
Modern guy: "It's a gun."
Medi: "What's a 'gun'?"
Modern: "Uhm... It's a sort of weapon. Point it at someone you don't like, pull the trigger, boom, they're dead."
Medi: That's magic! Witch, witch! Burn the witch!
Modern: "Oh, for the love of..."

[Flamelord]

Well that, and the magic/enchanted weapons, etc.

On a far more serious topic: You may or may not have heard, but a Boeing 777 passenger plane crashed near the Ukrainean/Russian border on its way to Malaysia. It was most likely accidentally shot down by pro-Russian separatists, who thought they were aiming at a military transport plane. The death toll: all 283 passengers plus all 15 crew members. totaling at 298 lives lost. Most of said passengers were Dutch (at least 154 of them; At the moment of writing this message, the nationality of 47 victims is still unknown.). I... I'm just really glad that I don't know anyone on that flight.

.. this is a roleplaying forum, there is no need or reason to post news stories here.

"Yeah, sure; if dying is the worst that can happen then it's got to be more fun than spending a few hundred more years in a forest. It's not like I can die."

I was expecting Ba'al to have noticed this. XD

Doesn't matter if there's a need or reason. I feel like Neo's perfectly within his rights to post his responses to big things like this - you know, just some place to get his thoughts down.

Hell, if anything, my experience has taught me that a healthy dose of off-topic chatter in an OOC thread can help make RP groups feel closer and keep general activity on the forum moving so as to help strengthen the RP's longevity.

And overall I really see no reason why RPing has to be all-business like you act like it is. Why can't roleplayers engage in some friendly conversation? Or in this case, maybe vent about something that could be personally upsetting? :/

[Flamelord]

True, I will do a bit of editing. Not that incredibly long lived people is unusual for him (Looks at all Goa'uld in general), but he'd probably have some opinions

This. For the record. I am Dutch too, and it's summer vacation over here. Meaning that my family and/or friends could've easily been on that plane. So please excuse me for feeling a bit stressed right now.

I understand it effects people, and that it's perfectly fine to have discussion in the OOC.

But... I honestly don't think it's the best place to discuss things like this. For one thing I'd think RP's would be a good place to enjoy yourself and get away from things like that.

... Speaking of the RP, Nonon is going to be kind of annoyed to learn she missed the explanation really.

[Raineh Daze]

There are rarely news stories that aren't either: A) Depressing, or B) Rage Inducing. Which are honestly the last type of off-topic conversations that I want to be having in an OOC.

You could've at least politely said that you didn't want to hear such depressing news - as opposed to so bluntly and rudely telling Neo not to talk about anything RP related despite the fact that his post was far more than just a random comment.

[VitaVitaAR]

Let's just leave it here, okay?

As long as no-one snaps at each other or anything things will be fine.

Only if you stop lecturing me on how I should behave because of something subjective like this.

[VitaVitaAR]

Can we please not argue?

This is the wrong place to discuss news, but it's also not a good place to argue about what people discuss either.

Let's just get back to talking about the RP or something, okay?

[Kaga]

You're right - I'll drop it.

Sorry about all that. For some reason I've really been feeling like a grumpy old asshole lately. :/

[Flamelord]

Now the real question: who amongst our characters wins the award for 'best dressed'?

[VitaVitaAR]

Nonon.

Hands down.

[Raineh Daze]

And I apologise for being as blunt as a warhammer to the face.

Nonon is only the best dressed for now. I will think of someone better.

[Rin]

Clearly I should switch character to a commissar so I will at least have the best hat.

...Only not, because I could not do any of the named ones justice. ^^;

I'm gonna have to agree with Anno on this one. Nonon literally has super-powered clothing... though I should suggest to look at the powers Nonon has in her signup, as that essentially explains said clothing.
