You may have better luck submitting your inquiry about status updates to the Magic 8-Ball.

Yeah, but he's not helping himself when he turns around excitedly and posts a new thread that reinforces his fauxlita fetish now that you've only encouraged him.

If you don't like my fauxlita slave characters, don't read them. in fact, don't bother checking my list of aliases. i feel like the black sheep of this community. okay, i am a Weeaboo who likes to use mary sue traits because they make my characters feel special. i suffer from special snowflake syndrome. i have never played a mundane middle class human being because that wouldn't be roleplaying. and so what if i RP fauxlita slaves? is that any different from having the guy that always plays dwarves or the girl who only plays druids? people specialize in a concept all the time. i just specialize in fauxlita slaves. yes, my specialty are a little distasteful to the public, but is it any different from a guy that exclusively plays dwarves or that girl that exclusively plays druids? the oriental factor is just there because most of the settings i have played in were highly eurocentric and it adds to my uniqueness.

A girl playing a druid exclusively =/ a man playing a slave fauxlita

A guy playing a dwarf exclusively =/ a man playing a slave fauxlita

I'm aware that there are folks on this site that has an obsession with playing anthropomorphic cat-races almost exclusively. Do I think it strange? Probably. But that nor the other two references you bring up as (poor) examples has to do anything with the portrayal of subjecting innocent children in an enslaved type scenario.

As long as you continue to actively solicit for public acceptance of these tropes that you're obsessed with recreating for whatever niche that it fulfills for you, you're going to open yourself up to comment.

I have no problems with people playing unconventional and exotic characters. They make the game more interesting.

But these reoccurring slave fauxlita tropes are analogous to the acceptance that you're claiming to want. Honestly, I wish you were engaging in the most elaborate of trolls here.

Sadly, you're not.

You don't really want acceptance. You want the attention. Your newly created thread I referenced above confirms it.

i never wanted to play this game of chess in the first place. will you just accept that not everyone has the same interests as you? everybody here is so judgemental about the unconventional and exotic characters i play.

White Bishop to C4.

I remember reading some of these previously (especially the Ulfen Fighter). But are these your best character concepts? These you just threw out lacks the intricate lavish details compared to your others. You provided those hastily because my analysis was accurate as you did not attempt to rebuke or challenge it. ;)

But that is a concept you should improve upon to make it your best.

White Queen to h5.

I'm watching the second season of Rome. Just finished the episode where Octavian sends Attia to get it on with MA so that they can unite and kill the traitors/heroes of the Republic (depending on your pov) Brutus and Cassius.

There are many episodes that showcase Marc Antony's badassedness to much better effect, but I wanted to give a shout-out before I forgot.

They did manage to wrap it up in two seasons, but I wish it could have gone on. Alas, the budget was too expensive to keep going. But I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Since it's based on historical events, I don't need to inform you that MA's badassery will go downhill as you get further into the season.

I liked how they handled Caesarion, though.

A straightjacket with sleeves fashioned like a Chinese finger puzzle. There's a fellow I'm thinking of that it would be perfect for that may not appreciate the irony of the Asian and bondage restraint about it as I would, though.

Not mentioning any names ...

If we actually read the Bible, we discover that the sin of Sodom had nothing to do with sex at all.

Which is not to say that the authors of the Bible were exactly marching in Pride parades, only that they did not think Yahweh nuked Sodom over the sex. Nor, of course, does it suggest that taking advice from a bunch of people who thought the world was flat and knew less about it than your average high school student is a good idea to begin with.

That is the exact verse I reference, which tends to be forgotten / overlooked.

I'm fully aware that further engagement in this discussion is tantamount to futility, but I'm feeling humorously masochistic right now. That said...

Challenge yourself with a character concept that also doesn't include a master/slave relationship and an Asian female.

i had an idea for a touhou project inspired shy cambion library assistant. married to a sickly archwizard and works as his assistant. i haven't named her yet. but she doesn't have a doll, isn't in a master/slave relationship, and isn't from an oriental background. inspired by Koakuma of the Voile Library.

Overt? No. But the subtle cues are here. The library assistant and the archwizard. He's knowledgeable, whereas she's shy. He's infirm, so she has to cater to his every needs to keep him comfortable against what ails him. She's a cambion. They're (half-)demonic (and half-human), yet with an angelic / beautiful appearance. Archwizards are usually at a stage where they are powerful enough to summon and bind such denizens to serve them. And finally, married. Another contract.

There is your master/slave relationship.

another idea was a flonne inspired airheaded goodie 2 shoes nephilim healer, who couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag and wouldn't harm a fly. not an oriental female, not part of a master/slave relationship, but youthful in the fact she is innocent and inexperienced. having polished altars her whole life. i was considering having her take a feat for a dove familiar (Treat as thrush)

Airheaded. Innocent and Inexperienced. Goodie two shoes (wants to please). Youthful. Add to that, she's a nephilim, which is a fallen angel (and in other literary iterations, demonic). And lo and behold, also a half-human. Dove? Symbol of purity.

A corrupted, naive youth with a need to please.

There is your fauxlita.

White pawn to e4. I bet I could checkmate you in four moves. ;-)

And speaking of ass whuppins, do you guys remember the story I told y'all about the one guys porn stash I found whilst his lovely fiance watched me during the termite inspection?

I do remember that discussion. The problem wasn't necessarily that he had a porn stash. The problem was what the contents were.

o.O

That said I agree it is your own responsibility to leave if you cannot accept the rules of a house but just because it's the rule doesn't make it reasonable it just makes it the rule. And that casting someone out of your presence for their style of speech may be overreacting.

So, let's say we're gaming together and I have a tendency to be satirical and swear a lot because it's my style of speech. Even though I don't really mean anything by it, if my manner of responding to just about everything you say with, 'shut the f#@k up, Donny' because I find that line funny in The Big Lebowski, someone may find it funny. Maybe it's funny the first couple of times, but after twenty-odd times, it's probably getting old. Maybe if I came back with the retort, "get the f#@k out, Donny", will the c(l)ue card will show its hand?

I'm sorry if I sound ignorant, but why is the fact that it's an Asian female significant?

Because it's the same character concept Shuriken has played many many times before.

Hey Jerry, this thread will explain it much better than for me to recapitulate here for the sake of brevity and an attempt to refrain from further derailing.

However, in Biblical terms, Sodomy comes from "The Sin of Sodom", the Peccatum Sodomiticum, in which the central aspect was using the other person merely as an object of carnal pleasure of the sexual kind. So in that case, the English deffinition would be the closest one, although it must be emphasized that Biblical Sodomy is negative because it uses people rather than love them.

That's exactly why I think there is a dissonance in the Catechism that must be amended. And, believe it or not, there are quite a few theologians within the Church working on that exact same subject, because there is a real, widespread internal sense of discomfort with the conflict it causes with homosexual reality.

Interesting anecdote. Is there a citation or link of this? It's just something I'd like to read for my own convenience / curiosity (i.e. the theologians addressing the issue).

I've always argued that the sin was a lack of hospitality and not an act of homosexuality, but we're all well too aware of the mutability of language over the years to obfuscate its initial origins.

It sounds like you've had personal experience...

No, but I do recall an incident down in NOLA during Mardi Gras where people were getting busted left and right for public urination. What law enforcement failed to realize that there were a lot of facilities that were charging those who were not patronizing their premises for food & bevs a fee to use the restroom. And they also lacked available public port-a-potties for them to relieve themselves. There was this one guy who was in the process of whipping it out and got busted and thrown in the back of the paddywagon. He said WTF, he was already going to the drunk tank, so he proceeded to just relieve himself in there ... with the others already in there for whatever infraction they were picked up for.

Besides, excrement smells really bad in the summer heat. And draws flies.

at least she's not a child. and this one actually killed her master. so in a sense, she is free.

Then there's no need to still wear the collar with the leash, right?

I understand what you're attempting. But let's be honest; you're simply using omission. While you don't mention an actual age, the fact that you mention that she carries a doll subtly implies she's young. Or if she's not, she's clinging to a youth mentality by having that doll in her possession as her 'comfort blanket' or a memento.

Challenge yourself with a character concept that also doesn't include a master/slave relationship and an Asian female.

Odd things again from history class, this time a story of the stupidity of others, as told by my professor. Warning: if anyone here is a scholar of antiquity, Greek, or biblical literature, your head may explode.

A friend of my professor's is a scholar of Greek language, and was taking a Greyhound bus from Chicago to New York. Also on the bus was a preacher from Tennessee and his youth group. The Greek scholar, hearing all of the talk about the Bible, turned around and asked:

"Have any of you read the Bible in Greek? It's fascinating."

To which the preacher replied:

"No, we like our Bible straight. You know, in the original English."

Somewhere. In San Antonio. A Double Honors Doctorate's head exploded.

Does anybody else have sounds that just make their skin crawl for no real reason?

I have discovered that I can't abide the sound of someone eating yogurt or pudding out of those little cups. The sound of the spoon against the plastic container drives me to distraction, especially when they get to the end and they are scraping down the sides of the cup with short rapid movements. Am I the only one who feels this way?

It's not exactly the same, but I occasionally become overwhelmingly ooked out by social eating. The insertion of food into gaping red, moist maws, the mastication, the swallowing, the sights, the sounds.... ew, just ew. We don't eliminate socially, why do we ingest socially?

Then I try really hard and get over it.

Ah, you went to that site, too?

Psst. It wasn't yogurt. I couldn't believe it wasn't, either.

No kidding I am bi-curious as well ... you know what they say about curiosity though ...right?

Man I am still bi-curious despite the warnings.

But think of the options.

I had an interesting dream last night...

I dreamt I was about 12 years old...and that I was spending the night at a friend's house. Said friend had a WHOLE bunch of minis for D&D/Pathfinder/your game of choice that he was willing to give to me, as he was getting out of gaming. I was looking through them all, and picking out what I wanted and what I didn't want. Halfway through, I found Battletech minis, which came with a funky cool video, which I watched. It was SO realistic, it was a weird hybrid of Mechwarrior/Warhammer 40K, and I ended up picking out a WHOLE bunch of elementals to use as minis for my PCs, and I woke up when the friend's mom walked in and said that I was to spend two days there. I said that it was okay, and that I would leave tomorrow as planned as I had walked with my bike.

It was so real...

Easy. This was about your irrational antipathy toward Whedon and excessive comic book narrative purity demands.

Need a dream expert.

I don't get them all the time, but every now and then I dream of gothic churches with beautiful stonework lined up in a row across campuses/blocks and buildings like schools/apartments/rectories/cemeteries/etc done up as nicely. I'm always awed when I walk or drive into these areas, though I'm often wondering where everyone parks to go to these places. They also have expansive lawns/entries to the front of the buildings.

Today's version had an abandoned/crumbling church, but with an up to date apartment/city office type building around the corner. I was trying to collect pieces of fallen/broken stained glass windows.

Not sure if I've ever seen this stuff before. I wish I could draw it out.

It's almost like a college campus made up of multiple churches/denominations along with other buildings. There are different layouts/make ups whenever I dream of them.

Not sure why I dream of this stuff, but I've always loved old buildings.

Easy. You reminisce about what Motown was ... and what Motown is turning out to become and you can't save it despite picking up the broken pieces you can.

Oh my f+@&ing god... So I'm taking an ancient history class--Babylon up through Egypt, Greece, Rome, and early Islam. The professor's great, a laid-back and sardonic fellow named, I s#** you not, Craig C. Champion. On the other hand, my fellow students (I use the term loosely) are a bunch of baboons. Some of the great comments from JUST TODAY:

"Nazis were in Germany, right?"

"Does Chinese come from Proto-Indo-European?"

"Are 'Turkians' Arabs or Asians? I mean, what box do they check for 'race' on the census form?"

"You shouldn't call [early Semitic tribes] Hebrews. That's racist."

"Greece isn't in Europe! It's in Greece!"

And so on and so forth. Idiots.

I'm not going to deny it. I've had professors say in class that there are no stupid questions.

But when stuff like that surfaces? I can't contain myself. I will chuckle. OUT LOUD. With a McEnroe 'SERIOUSLY? ARE YOU SERIOUS?' SON I AM DISAPPOINT look on my face.

What props you gave may have been begrudgingly so. While you admit it was a good film for what it was, your comic lore and anti-Whedonism would have been hard to suspend. I knew when I was going to read your response is that the good points were going to be exponentially outweighed by the bad points. That's where the fickleness came in.

Personally, I thought this film smoked all of the recent Marvel films that have been put to the big screen beginning with Blade in '98.

Garbage Marvel Films are a toss up between Ghost Rider and Daredevil, for me.
