I like having a business associated with both gangs. I dunno about one being more gang and one being more mob though. Usually suits fight suits and hoods fight hoods. They have different ways of doing business, and often the hoods are run by the suits anyways. Both being mob? I like that.
I think that the story is a clue as to whats ahead. Maybe that each of you will suffer similar fates? Maybe just the places you will go? Maybe what your weaknesses are? I don't know, but it cant be a coincidence. And as for Zelda... I don't think they really work the same way as the Hero and Ganon. They live their lives from birth to death being Nayru's Emissary. Born ready to serve should the need arise. That's because their blood carries that old magic within it. The Hero so far as I know has only ever been descended of a previous hero once. And that was your grandson Shade. For all we know the Hero may still yet come, or maybe you're what we get. And maybe Ganon will come... I wish I had answers. But really we can only pray for the best and prepare for the worst...

I will say I find it very strange you tried to get us to leave Angel. At least that's what it seemed like to me. Furthermore, I don't find anyone's argument terribly reasonable such as the bad story construction or the whole parkour/free-run thing. Just saying.
Nah, I dont want you guys to leave, I'm just saying my instincts are going off, i'm sorry if it appeared that way.

Eh, those are just problems I had. I didn't say anything because I figured "To each their own play-style", but the criticism just bothered me. If other people were fine with it, then it's my problem to deal with. All that matters is having fun.
Now that I get, I kinda ran off from the group. My issue is mostly that I was expecting a very different roleplay structure based on what was said in the GIC. I was expecting event-reaction not GM-MC. And that was how it was presented. Perhaps I was too aggressive, and I'll admit that, I just didn't want to leave without explanation.

I used to live in Detroit, and we would hear alot about various gangs and which areas were still safe to walk for the non-affiliated, such as myself. At any rate, about two years ago, one of the major families in the D were the Padleys. It was the only non-supremiscist white gang family still running in Detroit. Some people called their gang the cracker gang on account of the ridiculous number of wiggers up in that shit. But they ran well, and were one of the few suit gangs in the D. (For the unknowing, a suit gang is when the gang leader has a laundering business and all those who directly work for him wear suits as opposed to a normal gang where youd be wearing wife beaters and basketball shorts.) Anyways... In a matter of a week the family had "left" and someone from one of the less successful suit gangs was running his laundromat. Best we all could figure was that they had been hit and dumped in the lake and someone had gotten ahold of the deed. If someone whos not technically there disappears, especially in a city where the cops dont have time to check on shit, everything of that persons is free to the first person to snatch it up.

Well c'mon guys lets sit at the same table together! This is Kyriakos the Dragon sage, The Hero's Shade (yeah I picked up on that...) who is the wolf sage, Dane, the Fox sage, and Gin, The mouse sage. I still don't know much about the Snake, or I'd tell you about her, all I know is that she's a gerudo and she is reeeeeally wary of hoaxes... But yeah! At any rate now that almost all of you are here, I wanted to tell you all the tale of Nayru's race of the stars.
Back when our world was first born, the stars would dance across the sky, unbound by responsibility or law, they moved to their own rhythm, dancing joyously in a display that made the Hylian nights beautiful beyond measure. But it wasn't too long, before our sun, who is also a star, wished to dance too, and so it came to pass that the sun would dance with her friends the stars across the sky often forgetting her responsibilities to our world...
This displeased the goddess Farore, who saw the life on our world that she had placed into being dying, the animals of cold, the plants of starvation... and so she appealed to her sister, Nayru who decided a new law would be put into spirit. She announced that the stars were to have fixed positions in the heavens from then on, so that they could not shirk their responsibilities, and that our world would from that point forward, dance on its own around our sun to entertain it. Now when the people and animals of Hyrule saw the fixed stars, they began to create pictures in them, and the five most well known constellations were the Snake, The Mouse, The Dragon, The Wolf, And the Fox. And the animals on our world were honored to be among the stars (except the dragons, who didnt like to be associated with such a lack of discipline). But many of the people cried out. The beautiful movements of the stars were gone, and now every night, the sky was exactly the same... So through the Great Fairies Nayru conversed with the people of Hyrule, and eventually a compromise was come upon. She would make it so the stars moved again, but on a repeating path that took so long, no single lifetime would ever see the same sky twice. But after that law was poured into the heavens, the animals became upset. the sky no longer had their honourable images in them. This time Nayru came to Din's red ground and spoke with them directly in council. But even after she agreed to make the constellations move as one body the animals began arguing! It seemed each wanted their image to be the one in the center of the sky!
Nayru, seeing no other way, decided that the decision of who would have the honoured place in the center of the sky would be determined by way of a race. The animals would have to travel from one end of the world to the other and the first to reach the end would be made the center of the sky. So each animal chose their best athletes, even the Dragons, who were not to be one upped by mere mortal creatures... And they ran. It was not long before they came to a raging river. The Snake, The Mouse, The Fox and the Wolf could not cross it, and they would have to find their way across by stepping stones or overhanging trees, the Dragon however could fly right over it, and, seeing his advantage, decided he could afford to stop for a drink, when he did, the mouse approached him... "Oh great Dragon, it is I your opponent the mouse. The animals all look down on me, and none respect me, I do not aim to win, but to gain the respect of my peers, by at least making second place behind you Great dragon. Could you perhaps find it in your heart to help me gain that respect, and fly me over this river"
To which the Dragon answered, "Hahahaha! You little mouse could never overtake me if you were to run your fastest and encounter no obstacle! It is clear your intentions are not to beat me, so I shall comply with your wish, and carry you across the river." And so he did, but soon after he had carried the mouse across the river, The dragon got lost in a great expanse of desert, the winds shifting his flight so he never knew which direction he was flying in. It was not long before the rest came across this desert, where they found the mouse sizing it up... The mouse could not enter it, as the winds would blow his tiny body about, and he would never make it through... The snake and fox were also rather small, and although they could make it, it would take them a great deal of time, the wolf however, was heavy enough to cross without much issue, and so the Mouse approached him when he arrived at the desert.
"Please oh strong Wolf, I am too small to make it across the desert without aid, the wind would surely toss me into the unknown. I do not seek to win, but only to make third place behind you and the Dragon that I may gain the respect of the smaller animals..."
To which the wolf replied "Surely it is respect you wish to command, for although I am certain I can overtake the dragon, you have no hope of overtaking either of us. I will let you ride forth on my back. Hold onto my fur tightly, and we shall brave the desert together..." And so the Mouse rode on the Wolf's back all the way through the desert. And when they reached the end of the winds and sands, the mouse thanked the wolf and hopped off, allowing the wolf to run ahead, with the mouse trailing behind. But then the wolf came across a great system of caves, and being unable to see in the dark where to go, he tried to turn around and got lost in the caves for days... Now the fox was pretty sure he could find a way around, but the snake, seeing by heat instead of light, could see the warm creek trickling through the cave, and could follow it to its source, which had to be outside the caves. The mouse, knowing this about the snake appealed to it...
"Oh snake, You and I are so far behind the Dragon and the Wolf, and while you may yet catch up to or surpass them with your advantage, there is no way I can outrun any of you, I only wish to finish the race ahead of the clever foxes, that they may respect me."
To which the snake said "Who caresssssssssss..." and went into the caves alone. But the mouse, having good ears and a good nose tracked the snake through the caves, and followed his path, until they both exited into the light. At which point the snake slithered on ahead got stuck in a temple full of traps that was between her and the finish line. She did not escape for hours. But when the mouse and fox arrived they both saw that the other was clever, and they both navigated the temple on their own. but the mouse, who was smaller, skipped many of the rooms simply by slipping into the cracks of walls, and exited the temple long before the fox and found that all that there was left was a simple road between him and the finish line. Running at top speed, he dashed for the paper ribbon, and saw to his immense surprise, that it was unbroken, meaning he was in first place! But he was only two thirds of the way there when the fox exited the temple, and the fox, who was a much faster runner, quickly caught up to the mouse... there were yards left to the paper tab, and the mouse heard the foxes long quick stride right behind him, and knew that he would lose...
As the fox ran past the mouse, he saw an opportunity... with only feet left to the race, the mouse grabbed the foxes tail, and climbed up it, along his back, over his head to his nose, and jumped off of it... breaking the paper ribbon only a mere half a moment before the fox dashed through...
Eventually all the animals made it through the race, and they all have a place in our sky, but the clever mouse, the one who used his meager advantages and disadvantages and the strengths of those around him, has always remained in that honoured place in the center of the night...

Hey, if this isn't your thing, it's not your thing, but I don't really think you can be very critical of the 'logic' when you scaled a roof, gave a speech, swung out a window, built a set propelled cart and then surveyed the town a castle in less time than the Town Hall meeting took place. If you'll look over the amount of time it took for those discussions to take place, you achieved 6 hours work, (including hammering, carrying wood, unhooking trailer hitches on cars with (I'm assuming) a wrench, scaling rooftops and the bell tower of a church) in less than 10 minutes.Jed's an idealist, sure, but he didn't Assassin's Creed his way to and from his bed. Now granted, you apparently know some free-running, but I don't see how that makes you an Ezio/Knuckles the Echidna hybrid.If you this isn't what you thought it was, then you just need to say so. You don't need to insult the people here.
Actually those are all pretty viable and I spent several hours doing them in game time... You may have noticed that I arrived back at the place at night, because I assumed you guys were taking several hours to talk. also, a second story window is actually a real simple climb. i didnt climb the damn empire state building I climbed one story. Not hard. like a novice learns that shit man. Unhooking trailer hitches doesnt require a wrench unless theyre old hitches or theyre locked for some reason, which some are, still not unreasonable. And the self-propelled cart thing? It's basic science. Tension in the rope would provide circular motion, The wood would have had a draw weight of around three hundred pounds per wheel per second. They wouldnt have been fast, but they would have worked. Learned about it in shop. Furthermore, I wasnt insulting the people here. I was stating very clearly that it wasnt what the GM said it was when he first posted the idea, and I left the game non-confrontationally.
To conclude, I used several hours, read my posts, they were specific about the amount of time I was using. I climbed one story. ten feet and that does not make me Ezio, and this was my thing before, and I was disappointed to find it ruined by bad story construction.
Miykael was starting to see a pattern of delusion... Something about this didnt make sense... but he had helped at least, creating the self propelled carts and sharing the designs... He decided he would head to the castle ahead of them and see what there was to see. Who knows... he might even stay there... Hopping on his cart and wrapping the rope mechanisms, he rode off for Svevo, wishing them all the best...
Yeeeeeaah I'm out. The whole first season of the walking dead, and years supply worth of diesel thing is too much. Also the reasoning behind the entire farm is better in the short term thing was poorly done. Sorry man, but it's badlogic. Theres only so much ridiculous you can put into a realistic rp. Youre turning this Jed character into some kind of flawless champion of the people, and even from a GM its basically god-modding. And anyone with experience with godmodding knows that the only two ways are get the gm to kick the godmodder, or leave. Since the GM aint kicking himself, I'm a-gonna go with leave. I know most of you wont see it yet, and thats fine... but im willing to bet alot of you will get what i meant in the weeks to come as it becomes more apparent.
At any rate, I'll write myself out. No killing me off, I find that distasteful to do without the writers permission,

For some reason the idea of me being mistaken for a hero amused me. I'm pretty out-there in the opposite direction I think. Definitely no white knight. I honestly just thought it might be fun to practice some dicing ^^
