Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Jong-Il, Mussolini, Than Shwe.Jeffery Dahmer, Israel Keyes,Ted Kaczynski.Et cetera.A few radicals, desperate people, fanatics, or however you want to put it still do not match the vast majority of good people, atheist or religious, that you don't hear about because they did nothing wrong.A lot of those young men Al-Qaeda and the Taliban send to fight are rounded up from villages and basically forced to fight, or fighting for them pays a lot better than any other opportunity they had. I've read more than one convincing argument that it's very similar to someone being born in a disenfranchised intercity neighbourhood being pressed into a gang, with very similar causes and reasons. It's not always about religion. People have the capacity for truly horrible things, faith or no faith. At least you admit you have strong bias about the matter, a lot of people in your shoes don't or even acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, they might have it wrong.

Take it how you want to, in my opinion Islam is a problem. Sure those leaders and psychos you mentioned were terrible indeed but the most recent act was the Unibomber? I dunno i think its trying to compare apples to oranges.

Thats ^ quite a rap sheet. I'm not one for fear mongering but i think this is deserving of a glance.

Exactly, religious fanatics are no different than extremest atheists.


When was the last time an atheist fire bombed a church? Or wore a suicide vest into a hospital?
I don't really disagree with you, there are fanatics of all things out there. But there only seems to be one group that has been standing out of late. Take a look at EU and it's immigration problem with Muslims. Now normally people fleeing wartorn countries is perfectly acceptable and understandable, but they refuse to even aknowledge these European countries laws and rules and demand that they bend and change to fit their life style, while at the same time crime has sky rocketed because of the kidnappings and selling of children into sex slavery. Not to mention the riots.
Oh and the Arab spring.... that was fun.

I'm biased however, I know that. I am also a bigot, and ethnocentric.
In my defense however the last group of devout Muslims I dealt with tried to kill me.
Yea...wel at least yall arent branded donestic terrorists.
HAvent decided if this will be in free or casual. Also if someone wants to commandeer my idea and make tge ooc and IC threads-go for it. I'm entirely to lazy to GM.

[Spoiler]
So yea......
Who wants to do an RP based off the Half-life games? Huh? Sounds good?
It can be any of the games, but I prefer the Black Mesa incident.


Cmon!! It'll be fun....you wanna be cool don't cha? !



Don't know ruddy squat bout Half Life?
Well boot.... Here ya go:

The Black Mesa Incident:
http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Mesa_Incident

A rough draft of the OOC page:

[center]

The Black Mesa Research facility:
Located in the New Mexico desert, is a high security level science facility funded by the U.S. government. Built over several decommissioned ICBM launching and testing silo complexes probably constructed during the 1950s, which was converted into a vast civilian institute for the research of almost every conceivable scientific discipline. Black Mesa undertakes its various scientific researches in the facility, which is a very high-security complex, as each employee is required to undergo a series of rigorous security checks to access most areas. Security guards, carrying firearms and trained for emergencies, are present everywhere. The complex is also equipped with retinal scanners and alarms, as well as heavy blast doors that may shut down in case of fire, explosion or other event. Black Mesa can be completely sealed from the outside.
On May 16, 200x
An experiment gone wrong caused the Resonance Cascade, which allowed numerous extraterrestrial creatures to teleport into the facility and wreak havoc upon its personnel. The creatures attacked on sight killing many in the first few hours of the cascade. Within six hours the military had been dispatched to secure the facility and “silence” the witnesses. When the military was eventually beaten back by the aliens and Gordon Freemans attacks; black operators entered the facility to mop up any remaining witnesses, then arming a 14 kiloton nuclear device, shut the facility down once and for all.
Some time before the Black Mesa Incident, researchers at Black Mesa discover the alien "border world" known as Xen while developing teleportation technology.[4] Science expeditions performed by "Survey Teams" are secretly launched to collect data from Xen, using a huge teleporter deep within the top-secret Sector F Lambda Complex.[4] Despite the deaths of dozens of researchers, Xen inhabitants and wildlife are brought back to Earth for study in the Sector E Biodome Complex. Soon, members of the Xen Survey Teams recover several Xen crystals from the borderworld, which are designated to be studied in Sector C's Anti-Mass Spectrometer.
YOU: You are either an employee of Black Mesa,
scientist/mechanic/admin/other civilian type[/center]
Scientist/Civilian [spoiler]
As a civilian you have a typical 9-5 job. You work with computers, or answer phones. Scientists run experiments, can be granted higher security clearance depending the research they are involved in. Engineers work in R&D always improving tech, or backwards engineering it.[/spoiler]

Security: guard-captain
[spoiler]
Security Guards are responsible for the general safety and welfare of the facility and its employees. Guards are equipped with vests, helmets, and either .9mm Glock 23, or a .357 S&W revolver(usually for lieutenants and above.) Security Clearence is based off of post location.

HECU man power reserve stands at the level of an Fleet Marine Force line battalion(roughly 1500 men)-along with its assets, Tanks, rotary wing, and fixed wing, artillery. Their mission is to secure the Black Mesa Facility eliminate all hostile extraterrestrial life forms and permanently silence any and all witnesses.

The failsafe to the failsafe. When the military fails at its job of containment, these anonymous assassins are dispatched to kill the rest of the human forces at the base.... and to use a 14 kiloton nuclear device.[/spoiler]

Can you survive the Black Mesa Incident?

Will you be able to defeat the monsters from Xen?


Can you evade the government?


Will you make it to the surface?

That’s up to you.[/center][/spoiler]

Drop nuke here?


Shinu?
It could be set at Baldurs Gate, or Amn.... at least we'd have an actual map from the game.
Wow.

I read almost all the Drizzt novels...fell out after the 1,000 orcs.

I may be interested.
Well.... I'm interested.
Would this team be made up if military? Or a mix of civilian and military?
If so then count me in. I'd prefer a desert setting to be honest.

You could alwaus make the planet divided into three seperate eco zones.

Around the equator can be a tropic belt of paradise, but futher north or soutv it becomes a desolate wasteland desert that will range from flat salt lands/sand dunes to ridges and high desert mountain ranges- and move even further north/south nearing the poles(reference Canada) can be the start of tundras...or something i dunnon
Join the club.
Haven't gotten more than 4 hours a night since 2008.

I work nights and went all winter without seeing the sun. Now it Burns.

I had to quit drinking lest my demons ruin the few good relationships in my life.

Keep on trucking

I dont know you. I cannot tell you how to live.
