How do you write what a character feels after killing someone for the first time?

It's important to note here (as @Shoryu Magami touched on) that military training has an impact on this. Modern military training specifically is designed specifically to make you shoot first and think later. Nowadays, if you're in the Army with a gun and you come across and enemy, you'll fire on instinct. In WWII, however, MOST of the soldiers wouldn't even pull the trigger. This goes all the way back to the invention of the musket, where the accuracy of fire reduced rapidly in actual combat due to the simple fact that these people were staring other humans beings in the eye and consciously or unconsciously threw off their own shot. There are plenty of stories of opposing forces meeting during these time periods and simply walking past each other. One case from one of the world wars involved small groups of British and German forces meeting along a road. Instead of opening fire, they laid down their weapons and started throwing rocks. Lindybeige (my personal favorite military/history nerd channel) actually has a video on this specifically and touches on how it can affect reactions to killing (briefly, if I remember right, but he still touches on it).

A tad interested, I think I might actually play as a vassal of someone. Defiantly going to be leaning towards the Imperial side than the Communists tho (anyone else feels like that said divide is going to be a major part of the RP?)

Aren't you asexual tho? How would that work?

@ClocktowerEchos

Unwanted sexual advances are the only way to be as annoying as I am in spam.

I need ideas

Make a spam house and put me in a different household, and make me interact with the normal spam household sporadically and only through unwanted sexual advances.

This is humanity now. This is the face of our culture, of our achievements as a species.

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

I know its gonna sound petty but when americans pronounce words differently to british people..... and are adamant that we are wrong. (not all americans.)

For example, I enjoyed a trip to the states a couple months ago. I wanted to check the english football scores and asked a local if he knew of any football bars and explained that i wanted to know premier league scores (Premier, pronounced Prem-yer). I kid you not the guy replied "Oh you mean the Premier league" (Premier, pronounced Prem-ear) Every british football fan just cringed as did i and the few mates i was with.

The english vs american pronunciation. it makes me physically cringe when i hear it. sorry americans i can deal with the rest of it just not this.

@Kurai Assassin

You can't deal with that, but are okay with Aloominumb?

Don't know if this has been discussed before but is anyone other than me legitimately offended by SJWs and their continued use of "people of color"? They're trying to be progressive, yet they're furthering us back to segregation, I feel like. I don't know. I'm black and I find this offensive.

@Bakardi

Same here. It makes it seem like they've literally never talked to a black person before.
