I'd be a terrible fantastic manager!

Well, we could take whoever needed a corp for now, promote the B12ers to manager as they get fired, as invariably happens.

And I left the casino with around $2000 more than what I went in with. 

I wasn't aware that you needed to shell out cash to start a corp.  I honestly haven't been thinking about it that much.


Personally, if we are going to do this, I'd prefer that we just make some general-purpose corp that we're a part of, rather than anything with overt ties to Bay12 or Dwarf Fortress.  My own sense of humor thinks it would be funny to have some acronym that results in a tag of RBRS, so HellMOO could have COPS and RBRS.

Taco Dan brings up an interesting point, however.  It's quite possible to make some fairly interesting dwarf-type characters in HellMOO.  Clubs allow for effective use of fire axes, picks, and freakin' huge-and-powerful hammers.  They also rely only on two stats, Brawn and Reflexes, which allows for a bit of stat-spreading to allow for brainy characters to join the mix as well.  Or you can split off some points for Cool, which gives you the triumvirate for effective firearm usage (Brawn, Reflexes, Cool).  The Iron Liver modification would of course be an essential part of this.


Fun, but would attract unwanted attention.

I agree with Kagus. There aren't enough of us to make a decent corp by ourselves, and we could get a good rep for helping people.

Incidentally, stop arming the friggen orphans. Crowbars to the face are no fun, even if you have a katana.

I'm fairly certain bullies are just spawned with simple weapons like electrical cords, baseball bats and crowbars.  Crackheads are the ones you can give all sorts of awesome junk.

And I mean that in a number of different ways...

They tend to pick up things left on the floor, however. Drop enough weapons and zombie brains in the orphanage, and you've got an orphan infestation on your hands.

It would be a subtle sort of rep. The death of any newbie anywhere would be punished, within our bounds (hehe, not really realistic). And we'd give people stuff, for free. Not as a bribe, but as an example of what a true hero in hell should do. Which out to swell the membership.

Seconded.

Also, anyone know where to get a power squirt? I wanna spray stuff with acid.

Still though, free weed is better than cheap weed, and I'd never heard of the place Pseudonymous just mentioned...
Someone in my corp showed it to me. Of course, he couldn't manage the climb up himself, so he just kept trying and falling, while I flew up the rope like it was flat ground (lolripper). Leading to the amusing scene of him yelling instructions to me in between "From the northeast, you hear the loud splat of impact".

Well, Did they make an SA corp? Did it fail?
Uh, there's always been one.
GOON, DRS, now COPS.

Right, that's kind of the point.  He's just asking why a Bay12 corp would be torn to shreds, whereas a SA corp would become so powerful and long-lived that it's just become integrated into the game.
HellMOO, if I understand correctly, is a game for goons, by goons. A very large percentage of the players are from SA, and almost all of the admins (or all, perhaps, I'm not familiar with any of them, and I only the know the screennames of the few who are most active in commenting on things).

Personally, I think that may very well be the nubbin.  The main reason a Bay12 corp would get torn apart if it ever got started...  Is the SA corp.
Well, I'd say the biggest reason is all of the people who'd be interested in it are all fairly low-level at this point, and so would be natural targets for abuse, meaning they'd have a much harder time attracting quality players, leaving them either small or a scrubcorp. If it's turned into an self-righteous ivory tower (which, as far as I know, even the "gooncorps" aren't, since they'd probably admit anyone they thought was worthwhile, whether or not said person is a goon (and would probably exclude goons they thought of as obnoxious or worthless)), that would mean they were both weak and obnoxious, leading to them being targets no one cared about griefing.

If by "Bay12 corp" you just mean "founded and run by Bay12 members, but only keeping out annoying scrubs (or beating some sense into them)", then you'd have less trouble. Though you'd still run into the problem of "none of us are particularly strong at this point". Perhaps when I'm far enough along to provide decent muscle I'd help start one, though I recommend you don't try until you're higher level, and very familiar with the game.

77Jack's gun room. It costs $6K though. You might be able to get one cheaper in the Galleria.

Ah, there. Fun. I'll probably be able to get in soon as I get one more point of raw.

Incidentally, I have 150 baggies of weed if anyone needs. I raided it again. Good fun. Also stole a scale.

I hope I'm not the only person who is frightened by this.  I will be conducting EXTREMELY SUBTLE AND SNEAKY pokes into the few higher powers I can contact safely to see where loyalties lie...  If the admins are indeed all goons, then there's a very significant obstacle lying between the lands of now and a free HellMOO.

I know it's incredibly stupid and quite unfounded, but the whole situation gets the revolutionary juices pumping through me.  Ahh, the glorious scent of an underdog hiding in the shadows in the face of persecution, doing whatever he can to fight against the totalitarian overlords!

...boys, this is what graffiti and posters were made for.  Vive la revolucion!

If by "Bay12 corp" you just mean "founded and run by Bay12 members, but only keeping out annoying scrubs (or beating some sense into them)", then you'd have less trouble.

That's kind of the way I've always seen it.  A strictly Bay12 organization doesn't really make sense anywhere.  Not even in Bay12.

Also, 77Jack... Any relation to 21Jack?


EDIT:  What exactly is it that PCP-laced joints do?  I had one handed to me by Nolor, but I was mugged before I could take a toke off it.
