LP LCS. Pretty self-explanatory for anyone who's ever been in an LP game before.

But in case there's one mook who decides to read this thread without having ever read another LP, basically the idea here is that I play Liberal Crime Squad, and everyone who wants to join tells me what kind of character they want and when we're going to be making a plot-critical decision, we put it up to vote.

Spoiler: Stuff ya might want to know if you aren't intimately familiar with LCS (click to show/hide)

Every character has stats. They're like, really important. And stuff.

Heart: Your passion-meter. Apparently helps with recruiting people somehow, and influences artistic and cooking skills. (Hippies always have LOTS AND LOTS of heart)
Intelligence: How smartical you are. Helps with using computers, tailoring, and 'knowledge' skills (security, religion, science, first aid, psychology...)
Wisdom: The anti-heart skill, its your knowledge of Conservative ways. having too high of a wisdom means that conservatives can convert you to their side, but also helps if you're trying to sell people brownies (SPECIAL brownies that open up the glimmering gates to the adamantine pits, if you know what I mean)
Health: How much of a beating you can take before you pansy out and won't help fight anymore. Or before you die. Whichever.
Agility: Pretty self-explanatory. Helps with picking locks, stealing stuff, tailoring, and using guns.
Strength: Durr. It has two uses: melee weapons (which suck IMHO) and breaking down doors (useless if someone has decent security skill, which we will)
Charisma: Suaveness. Used for persuasion, seduction, and disguise. Despite only being used for three skills, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT because disguise is REALLY IMPORTANT. And besides that, high charisma is necessary to recruit high-level conservatives (because dating involves gaining too much wisdom for my tastes).

Another important thing is juice. Juice is basically experience points. You start with 0 (usually), and you get 'level ups' when you get to 10, 50, 100, 200, 500, or 1000 juice.

So... yeah. To join up, just put your name (all characters can be renamed at any time), preferred archetype (wanna be a gunslinger? Thief? Medic? Computer nerd?), and gender. I get to be the leader of the LCS, but if you wish to have your own squad at some point, sure we can make that happen.

I'll go ahead and make my character and the first turn, to give a few people a chance to sign up.

Spoiler: Insight into a revolution (click to show/hide)

The day I was born in 1984, the Nobel Peace Prize went to Desmond Tutu for opposition to apartheid. My parents named me Thomas Templeton. The doctor said I was a boy.
When I was bad, my father lectured me endlessly, trying to make me think like him.
In elementary school, I was the class clown. I even had some friends.
When I was 10, my parents divorced. Mom slept with the divorce lawyer.
In Junior High School, I played violent video games at home. I was a total outcast.
Things were getting really bad... and I tried being a teacher's assistant. It just made me a target.
I knew it had reached a crescendo when I resorted to controlling people. Had my own little clique of outcasts.
I was only 15 when I ran away, and let people pay me for sex. I needed the money to survive.
Life went on. On my 18th birthday, I celebrated. I'd saved a thousand dollars.
For the past few years, I've been writing my manifesto and refining my image. I'm ready to lead.

I live in Chicago, IL, and it's about to experience serious change.

Remove the conservative gender label.

Got it. Recruit a man and re-label him as a woman.

Spoiler: Game Time! (click to show/hide)

So... after remembering my relatively sex-laden childhood for no apparent reason, I think I'm going to venture forth from the homeless shelter for an indeterminable period of time, but it will evidently be less than one day. I think I'll just head downtown and check out the apartments.



Specifically, the Obama apartments. Cuz' I figure Obama is a way cool name.



So, with the possible exception of aesthetic appeal, why are there so many exits? Really, I only need one. Then again, I suppose that a) it IS an apartment and aesthetics are important, and b) it makes sense to be able to leave in any direction once physically outside the building.

Including diagonally, a direction I cannot for the life of me figure out how to move in. Curse you, digi-physics, curse you.



Ooh! Ooh! A sign! That I read in exactly the same way I would hypothetically destroy factory equipment.



Well that's useful. Now if only I had 500 more dollars and no expenses, I could afford that. Well, I suppose I'll just press on and talk to everyone I meet about how much conservatism sucks and liberalism rocks.



That was fast. One step in and I've already been accosted by three people. And, since I happen to know that fashion designers are important people...



Score! Moving right along. Hey look, more people! These ones are all liberal, so...



Okay let's just try that again.



Yaaaay. Nothing quite like inconsistent civil law enforcement to get fashion designers to 'come over later tonight' so they can make me clothing for the rest of forever. Continuing on once again (I tried to persuade the journalist but he blew me off)



Well no shit sherlock, of course corporations are part of capitalism. What I'm trying to explain here is that they're BAD. Oh hell with it, bye.



Doc... that makes no sense.



See, this guy here knows what it's all about. Once again moving on...



Wow, I honestly didn't expect that pick-up line to work. I guess I'm just that drop-dead sexy.



Dude. I like, JUST said. INNOCENTS. Jeez (fascist bastard)



Damn. It worked on that fashion designer on the ground floor... I don't get it.



"Oh RAELLEH"
"Yeah, really!"
"Sweet, where? I wanna see this!"
"Dammit!"

Alright, I've had it, I'm leaving. Time to score with all of my dates.



Damn. Well, guess I'm sleeping by myself...

*two days later*



Huh. Imagine that. Well, I'm gonna go break into somewheres to get my 5 juice back. "Hey door!"
"What"
"Where do birds go to get food and booze?"
"Iuno"
"A CROWBAR!"



Now I just need a "that was easy" button. Now, in order to get my juice back, I need to destroy at least three machines... preferably without getting caught and killed.



I'm not doing too hot.



Allow me to revise that statement. I suck at this. Time to leave.



On the plus side, I now have someone, anyone on my team. And they're willing and able to make me clothes.



Specifically THESE clothes.

Anyway... at some point in the near future, I'm going to need to recruit a gunslinger/thief person, a computer whiz, and a graffiti artist (probably a hippie).

Sorry for the lack of recruiting all y'all, but I really DO need a fashion designer. I'll try to recruit Okenido, SolarShado, and Little next turn.

That's gonna take some doing to pull that off. Someone would have to learn some psychology... Unless you don't mind waiting until someone gets 21 persuasion?

(and do you care what gender you are?)

[Servant Corps]

No I don't care what gender I am. And I don't mind waiting. Psychology is very easy to train though.
