Will necromancers be neutral in DnD?

And Cthulhu will just want to give out hugs to anything it meets. Those hugs will zap your mind into delicious grey jelly, but it's the best of intentions.

Man, that... actually explains a lot.  It'd explain why they don't go after atheists much, since you'd probably have to go for a specfic well known atheist.  It'd also explain why they don't go after Obama like the others... argh.

It might seem difficult to stop this without lowering the amount of freedom of speech, but I think I have a solution.  Just legalise punching Fred Phelps in the face.

EDIT: Hmm, is throwing eggs at people legal in America?

It depends on the velocity. I'm sure you're allowed to hand them eggs, and maybe toss them eggs, so you'd have to define the legal kinetic energy of your egg transference.

Hm, I wonder. If somebody has already filed for a right to protest somewhere, does that essentially count as a reservation of the area for the purpose (IE nobody else can protest there), or does it just serve as a permission slip? I'm considering the possibility of trying to figure out where they plan to protest and signing up first (and not actually protesting anything, just showing up to ensure that it works). Alternatively, protesting the protest if any number of people can do that, obviously using the same tactics. Get a sufficiently large group of people involved (over a large enough geographic area), you might be able to do this everywhere they go, and it'll be frustrating as hell. Might make them slip after the first few dozen times.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Ya but that was a homebrew on your part and the DM's part, I was thinking more about core.

Yeah, which is why it'd be nice if getting the place first would block them out. Still, I doubt that's how the law works, and I doubt I or anyone I know could scrape together the necessary resources even if it were.

You 'aint got no pancake mix! Stop lying to these people! You 'aint got no pancake mix!

Seriously, if you can protest their protest, what can they sue you for that they arn't doing already? Slander? Well they're slandering the guy in the coffin! All you need is the cash for a decent lawyer to hold your own in court and you can piss them off just as much as they can you.

The guys at DakkaDakka are suggesting bringing random signs and making more noise than the WBC, just drowning them out.

Lol yeah you could join their protest and carry a sign demanding more urinal mints in the nation's truckstops.
