"Want to talk about it?" Jim offered. "...We can just talk by text, if you don't want everyone else overhearing."

[TCM]

"Maybe later. I'd talk to Thomas first, but he's in a PTSD-induced coma..."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"...Oh. I see. I'm sorry." Jim rubbed her shoulder for a moment, before taking his hand away. He wasn't sure if he was crossing some sort of social boundary or not, and figured it best to er on the side of caution. "I'll be here if you need me, though." Someone's got to look after everyone, and isn't that why I was picked, anyway? Because I do give a damn about trying to hold this group together and keep us all from murdering each other?

"I'll be here if you need me, though."

As will I.
Feyri continued holding May's hand and giving companionship to her, and more than curious on why she was feeling what she was feeling.

Hi

[SeriousConcentrate]

Hey.

[kisame12794]

((Heh. All Morul did was piss off the local government.))

[Kriellya]

(( All *I* did was piss of the HMRC. Briefly. XD
I'm not sure how much sense that makes with recent revelations ))

((@Radio Controlled: I told you, the smoke grenades and cameras combined only cost 2 tokens, not 5.

EDIT: Oh, and I just noticed that our mutant in the bowels of the planets has a Tear of Timmy. He could use that. What could possibly go wrong?))

[BFEL]

((actually, just got a nice idea on the name thing.

"The Wanted Nails"

Basically ever heard the phrase "for want of a nail"?
It goes something like "for want of a nail, the horseshoe was lost, for want of a horseshoe the messenger was lost, for want of a messenger, etc. until the KINGDOM is lost." all "for want of a nail"

Well that's what the HMRC is isn't it? Its the nail that the people need to seal the coffin of a stagnant government.))

STEPHEN HAWKING reads my OOC rambling and suggests it, changing his vote and explaining it.

[Parisbre56]

((Hmm... Hadn't heard of that phrase/rhyme before. Sounds great!))

[Unholy_Pariah]

((I like the thought behind it but it just doesnt work for me. "the wanted nails" just doesnt sound like a revolutionary force to me, it makes me think of an interstellar hardware store or a group of settlers who became pirates because they lacked the pointy bits of metal necessary to keep their houses standing...))

((It's also not a good name because you have to explain it. Without context, "The Wanted Nails" sounds pretty silly, and if you have to explain the entire thing to anyone who asks, that defeats the entire point of having a snappy name in the first place.))

((Does it count as a rhyme if it only rhymes because the last two words of each line except the last are the same?))

Spoiler: Full "Rhyme" (click to show/hide)

For Want of a Nail
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Huh. I thought that there was a war in there somewhere.

((I dunno. I like the name just because it causes people to go "What?". It makes them research. And if they research, they learn, about the name and about our cause. It's an advertising trick. Gives them incentive to get "involved" out of curiosity. And it doesn't have the usual drawback of "Eh.. why bother?" this trick has, because when the Wanted Nails are coming to "liberate" your solar system, you'll WANT to research them.))

A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds in two or more words, most often at the end of lines in poems and songs. The word "rhyme" may also be used as a pars pro toto to refer to a short poem, such as a rhyming couplet or other brief rhyming poem such as nursery rhymes.

((+1 for wanted nails.))
