((I'll get the HMRC Pantheon on there at some point.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

Spoiler: Auron is triggering my Debate Reflex (and often my Snark Reflex) (click to show/hide)

You think thats a fair solution? What a fucking joke, you say you dont like it when people fire at their teammates and you accept that my assault was a reflexive, rage driven spur of the moment action with the intention of causing harm but not death, yet you just watched Simus fucking MURDER me. In cold blood. And did nothing to stop it.

((...The fact that you're talking to someone five minutes later kinda negates the strength of that argument.
Just sayin', "She turned off my life-support systems for almost a minute when I was already in the infirmary where they can turn messily-severed heads into functioning robo-people!" is a pretty weak argument.))

Heres whats gonna happen...

((Wait, you are dictating terms to JIM?!? Who, aside from being one of the second-highest-ranking officials on the ship, is also a 12-foot-tall synthflesh space wizard with four arms? When the orders of Simus you are trying to negate were approved by Steve?
That's like Squirrel Girl mouthing off to General Zod. When he has the support of, um, someone more powerful than Kyrptonians. No, wait, Steve would be like Emperor Palpatine! Except that Jim, thankfully for you, is nicer than Zod.))

Not only am i willing to forgo my revenge and end this conflict...

((In a way that conveniently gives you exactly what you wanted...))

You have a rather simple choice here, you can take my proposed course of action and maybe put on some extra punishments like revoked vr privaledges to make yourself feel better thus bringing peace and stability to this situation... Or you can watch this turn into a massive revenge spiral that will probably cause even more property damage and likely end with someone dying permanently.

((Or he could do something crazy, like talk to Steve about a lobotomy. Or heck, just kill you there, since you basically threatened to smash important facilities and kill someone permanently!))

((I have to agree with the bit about the plotting. Plotting is fun. Why don't more people conspire? We're revolutionaries! We're disrespecting the spirit of the glorious revolution by not plotting each others' demise and our own rising to power. What would Stalin say, you guys?))

((Possibly "Кто ты безумные космические идиоты и почему вы ко мне пристали?" Or that, but in proper Russian and not Google-Translated stuff.
But I don't think that we should base our plans off of the worst parts of a revolution leading to a fail-heavy government. No offense, Russians, but Communism wasn't the best phase of your nation's history.))

((Im trying to save Simus' life here, i dont wanna be the guy who goes around permakilling players.

If my beetletank gets dismantled Auron will take revenge on those responsible and considering Simus murdered him hes not going to simply settle for a leg shot this time, hes going to aim to erase her from existance.))

((Read this. Rich knows what he's talking about.
To summarize: Reconsider your character's actions. Find a way to play Auron that doesn't end in him trying to permakill people. For instance, he could realize that vengeance is futile, or he could try and ruin Simus's career rather than kill her. Actually, that sounds hilarious. I insist that you do that.))

((Noted.
Say, should our characters have an "Inventory" or "Notable Accomplishments in the HMRC" or "History" section?))

DEMONS FROM HELL! THEY ARE DEMONS FROM THE DARK RECESSES OF THE UNDERWORLD. YOU PUNCH THE COMPUTER SCREEN AND START SCREAMING ABOUT THE POWER OF SPACE CHRIST.

GO TO LARS AND SCREAM TO HIM ABOUT THE POWER OF SPACE CHRIST!

ALSO SCREAM ABOUT THE POWER OF SPACE CHRIST TO EVERYONE I MEET ON THE WAY TO LARS!

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Oh no. A Space Christian versus a Space Polytheist.))

From here
> Played a role on the 'defense team'. The one guarding the Sword on the Cradle as Milno/Jim's team assaulted the Command Center for Hephaestus.
Problem was: I didn't do much but mourn Lyra, and help Grate get some strange fuzzy burrowing creatures with mandibles to the Sword in a box. And 'test gravity' in the way sadness goes. That was it.

Inquire on recent events past the capture of the Hephaestus Command Center.

((Murder is murder, end of story.

I just got murdered under Jims watch, im allowed to be rude and demanding.

This whole fight started because Simus didnt get what she wanted, but now that the shoes on the other foot suddenly its a problem? What i want is not even asking much... Pyro all but demanded my complete submissal to Simus every whim and for several days or more of work to be instantly destroyed and rendered pointless, i just want to enjoy this game in peace and not have my time and effort be wasted.

I said i dont wanna be the guy running around permakiller players, plural.
Ill feel no remorse for permakilling Simus, i offered pyro alternatives to avoid the original argument and they fell on deaf ears forcing me to start a massice argument just to avoid the tanks immediate destruction, now we are all the way back where we started; arguing over dismantling the beetletank.
Except now its twice as bad because characters lives are on the line as well.))

((And yes im well aware of the hypocrisy of that final paragraph seeing as im going to do the exact same thing, but i dont care. if pyro wants to destroy something ive fought this long and hard for Simus can reap what shes sown.))

((And yes im well aware of the hypocrisy of that final paragraph seeing as im going to do the exact same thing, but i dont care.

((Think long and hard about what you've written, UP. And also consider other alternatives.
Finally, consider this. Pretty much everyone is against you. That's a damn good sign that you're probably wrong.))

((Ive considered the alternatives. they all end in me surrendering all my free will and/or watching my beetletank get destroyed thus making the past several weeks a complete waste of time, neither of which are acceptable options.

My only acceptable options are argue now and revenge on failure. Pyro on the other hand has the ability to end this right now, all Simus needs to do is say "fine let him keep the damn tank." Then threaten to destroy it and or auron if he goes back on his word to replace the cannon and repair the ships.))

You do realize you've been egging them on the entire time, right GWG? 

But yeah, while he doesn't have a real good shot at... doing much of anything, really, if it's in-character for Auron to get righteously furious over the situation, have at: I'm strongly in favor of separation of OOC and IC, and needless, completely avoidable tragedies have always been a part of media*. 

That being said, if Erin knew of its existence, she would totally try to adopt the beetletank. 

*Just stop arguing about it OOC for the love of Steve.

((I'd rather not see the spider tank destroyed. Auron wasn't the only one who worked on it, and it seems viable as a war machine. That said, Auron still needs a lot of discipline.))

((I have to concur at this point. The main reason I've put up with the OOC arguments for this long is that I still sort of have a fondness for it, from my id-based rationale, or lack of it.
Hey, I grew up in a culture where brazen wit was the way you handled disputes.
You know what I do like though? IC Character Development.))

"Have you got everything figured out Erin?"

((If his IC responses are going to screw up the game, reconsider. Like I said, there are other options. Auron could try politely reasoning with Simus in hopes of getting what he wants. If he doesn't, he could cut his losses to avoid losing more, and if that's unacceptable he could take a more subtle path to vengeance. I believe I suggested trying to ruin Simus's career?))

((Could you define "brazen" as it is used in this context?))

((GWG, no-one is agreeing with you. Nobody appreciates the constant OOC bickering.
Please, just stop.))

((GWG, no-one is agreeing with you. Nobody appreciates the constant OOC bickering.

((The latter is true. The former is not. Many people want Auron to resolve this in a way that doesn't come at a risk of permakills, including Unholy_Pariah.))
