Oh God, don't ever type "grotesque she-males" into your search bar trying to one-up the previous pics, your eyes & sanity can't take it...why didn't I think about it first


AACCCCKKKKKKKK

Hence why I solicited outside help. If I have to put up with an awful avatar for a month I didn't want to have to subject myself to the torture of actually picking the damn thing out myself.

That is it for now. More later.

The top one has to be photo shopped. I've heard of man boobs before but this is not what I envision when I hear that term. I can't even see the last one so that one is clearly out.

Because I've promised an alt-less game for a while, and we've had so many new people join up lately, they would serve little purpose among the fueds of an alt-less game. So I decided to give the newer players a chance to get a little better with a basic M&P.

Now, if you don't qualify as a veteran, and you want to play in the veteran game, I'm fine with that. So, Ansible, if you would like to play there, you're more than welcome to. I put a few of the older but not veteran players in the newb game for the numbers. If you really don't want to play there, any of you (Tats, GH, Twelve) let me know, and I'll put you in the vet game. I just needed the numbers for the newb game.

Both games are M&P. The vet game is altless. The newb game is going to be alted. They both begin next Monday at 7am -5gmt, or close to that.


@Tats

Any word from your friend you said might want to play? I have another first timer, an RL friend of mine, that I'm signing up with an account tomorrow. He seems genuinely interested, so I hope he does well.

Ok, right on. I'm down with this. Tatts/GH/twelve/myself have been around a little longer like you said, but I think we'll slot better into the newb game anyway (plus the number balance). Also it will be kind of cool to be one of the older players in the newb game... I sense a great disturbance in the force...

I also like alted for the newb game. Not enough context between everyone for altless to improve the game (unlike the vet game).

I'll sign up. Did I miss anything about why we are running two games at once? Are they at all related? Or is this just division for the sake of division?

Vets one game, newbies another

Well....obviously. My question was why, as in, what is the point of that? Is it just to even the playing field?

It's a lab experiment. Think of it as Guinea Pigs X and Guinea Pigs Y. X has been genetically mutated and as a consequence has become more aggressive, more accusatory, sneakier, is far more up its own arse, suspicious of absolutely everything, reacts to most things with cries of "WIFOM!", likes to chuckle at inside jokes, and is generally extremely self-destructive. At times it displays moments of genius, but these are fewer and farther in between than it itself would like to think. As well as these generalisations, X does display some variety in form from guinea pig to guinea pig: For instance, the Venge pig tends to lose focus of the primary objective and instead attacks those it deems mortal enemies, whether they be better off with them or not; the Silencer pig has developed a very interesting side-effect to the mutation which allows it to turn invisible, and is therefore highly dangerous; the Grief pig wants to be in on every conversation, and always has an (unsolicited) opinion on absolutely everything; the Khell pig has developed an unfortunate allergy to teamwork, though it has managed to mask this deficiency quite well, thus often resulting in devestating consequences to its fellow pigs just as they get a little comfortable.

Guinea Pigs Y, on the other hand, are control pigs. They are relatively young and fresh, and have not been exposed to dangerously high dosages of the mutation - yet. Even so, some have already begun to manifest cliquey habits, most notably centred around the Gust Pig. The Gust Pig itself appears to be going slowly mad from the attention it is being shown by its even more energetic cousins. Overall, the Y pigs appear more friendly towards each other than the X pigs, and often exhibit a clear-headed level of logic and simple reasoning that X pigs no longer appear capable of. However, this has also resulted in some unfortunate cases of extreme following and head-nodding agreement which has led to untimely, unfortunate terminations for those connected.


The experiment itself is to see how these groups of pigs - X and Y - dissolve into absolute anarchy and chaos. Note, it is not which does so first, because it is, of course, entirely inevitable that both will. Rather, it is about which does with the most style.














Also, it's about letting the vets kill each other in senseless, long-held vendettas within a safe environment with no collateral damage, whilst also cruelly ensuring that the newbies continue and expand this tradition by forming their own grudges through their own game and thus losing their innocence long before they should have to. It's evil all round.


These games will be as much about Mafia as Stonewielder is about explaining Stormriders.

Ok. Sold.

Twelve, decide on one photo and then I will decide if it's worth the cost to risk having that picture for a month. If we do go for it, my pic for you would be that baby holding the adult faced baby. But as I said, let's see what I am getting into first

Challenge accepted. We will settle this starting at dawn tomorrow to see who will own the heeby jeepys for the next month.

Chicken? How about archeopteryx? Jeeze, you aren't much of an ornothologist are you.
