    I've never been much of a role player, but with our hideously complex system of world government I think we could have a semi serious long running thread about the world. This won't be a normally structured role play, but try and keep to the plot.

    The way of things (As well as I can discern anyway)

    Blinky the polar bear and ruler of the world lives in a trap filled artic cave over the worlds only source of Dolarmite.

    Vorak giant starfish monster who lives in the earths core and is constantly plagued by his wayward minion Telcontar.

    Xiao is a shady blackmarket figure.

    Gross seems to be some kind of wandering demon with immense destructive capabilities, served by an army of dog men. Also the inventor of the castration gun.

    Jungle Japes, conquerer of both deserts and desserts

    DU, I'm sure hes up to something.

    If I left you out its because I'm sick of typing.

    This is actually a fairly good idea.

    Well who wants to be in it?

    Its less structured nature means that the story won't ever really rely on any one person posting, it can just go off on another tangent. So if you got sick of it there would be a quick 'X is usurped by Y' post and you could leave while everyone else carried on.

    I entered the story as the primary antagonist :roll:
    As such, I have unbounded funds, technological superiority and the most obscure plot devices on my side.
    Good luck fighting me, low-paid heroes :p

    (Also, I will commit the most stupid errors):/

    You're also not the primary antagonist.

    Who here thinks Frigo's the worst the Lords have ever faced? Ok, exactly.

    EDIT: Typo.

    Why wipe out a nation when you can rule it?

    Not much foresight on your side is there?

    Who said that any one of us is a hero?
    This was a really poor entrance to the story, Frigo.

    No-one in this story's a hero, as far as I know. The lot of us seems to be villains, or neutral, as we are here at the forum too. But don't go too hard on him; he made something happen and a lot of us posted in response, adding to the story. A few more posts and it will all go away, seeming as it never happened.
    Or, well... Frigo'll die, of course, but whattheheck...

    Yeah, he DID get the ball rolling...but come on. Japan? Cyprus is totally begging for genocide, if for no other reason than being Cyprus.
    We all know why japan is important. Destroy Cyprus, and people will ask why, to which one responds "Well, I had to find some way to get rid of the philosopher's stone..." That's a twist if I ever saw it.
