@A Lowly Wretch Ah, okay. That makes sense. Thanks for the update!

A Tale of Seven Children

Are we waiting on anyone or anything before we can start? Or are the server issues kind of holding things up a little?

A Tale of Seven Children

Awesome! Thanks for the go ahead!

@BlueSky44 Perfect! That answers everything! Thanks :D

A Tale of Seven Children

Hi, putting my name down for the final slot of the Seven Children. Anything I should know before I start a CS?

The Unfortunate Thirteen

Hey! Definitely interested in making a CS for the Survivalist, I was just wondering the scope of the "Copies of self" ability. If the original dies, do the copies die? Or if the original and all the copies save for one dies, does the reamining copy live on? When a copy dies, is the knowledge of the copy automatically "uploaded" to the mind of the original or other copies?

Music Appreciation Thread

@SleepingSilence So, I figure I'll be honest no matter how much it sucks. This song had zero appeal for me and the parts that stood out kind of only stood out because they irritated me. I don't how to explain it. It sounds like Trent Reznor and The Pixies decided they wanted to be Queens of The Stone Age and I suppose it doesn't help that I've always had an aversion to blatant "Fight the power/You can't keep us down man" songs, it doesn't matter if it's Twisted Sister singing "We're not gonna take it" or pretty much any punk rock band. I can barely stand Rage Against the Machine and I definitely can't stand Prophets of Rage. The only reason I can think of is because the entire idea of "Fight the power" has been twisted and distorted over the decades and it feels like people are trying to recreate the power that music displayed at Woodstock and during the 60's but with less effort. Not to mention the people singing "Fight the power" have typically never actually been wronged by "the power". I mean come on. White dudes singing about how they won't be kept down? The worst a white guy can be kept down is with minimum wage. It just that those kinds of lyrics take me right out of it and the Trent/Pixies/Queens mashup just seemed to have all the sound of those groups, but none of the style to me.

Sorry, I know it's a song you like to some extent but I figured it's better to explain why I give it a 2/10 instead of just rating it with no explanation. It just really isn't my thing at all.

---

If I'm being completely and totally honest, this is the only song with that "Fight the power" theme that I kind of liked back in '08 and even nowadays I can't really figure out why a band with four white dudes are singing about needing to rise up against the majority. Yeah, yeah, underlying "We are the 99%" themes, but still.

Feel free to tear it to shreds or praise it, either or.
