Rusty Shackleford

((Oh dear lord... I may not be any sort of economic genius, but I do know that at the percentages he's selling at, and for such low prices, he either has some REALLY low faith in the business venture, and/or he has no idea how investments work at all. For example, if the business is to actually remain "yours", you would never sell more than 49% of the stock in it, and even then only in an extremely desperate situation. Always hold 51% under your own name to remain majority shareholder. Also, I imagine that the space stock exchange is just like the New York stock exchange but on a larger scale, so this wouldn't be stock in the sense of stock market, being an unlisted startup, but rather just stock in the business itself.))

I remember as an AI, I once set the entire station on fire by accident using the holodeck.

Another year draws to a close, and a new one is about to begin. People are going to party, make resolutions, and get drunk off their ass. Why not share the details of your new year festivities and resolutions here? For example, I plan to go to a firing range with a couple of buddies, fire off a few hundred rounds, and then explode a hundred dollars' worth of fireworks. If there's something we 'Muricans like more than shooting guns, it's blowing shit up.

Nanotrasen isn't really evil, just morally gray. And we've been trying to dispel the whole "GRITTY REALISM YAH" feeling in general. Mostly because mechanics just won't allow for it to be taken seriously. And there is plenty of IC racism. The thing is, I doubt that anyone's going to want to say it into the face of a massive lizard alien with talons, the same way you wouldn't use the n-word in a derogatory fashion in a primarily lower-income African American neighborhood (clunky metaphor, but it works somewhat).

Speak for yourself, you space commie. Hue. But in all honesty, the way english (or Tau Ceti Basic as we're pretending it is) is spoken by everyone on the station makes IC sense, because after all, most of the people would probably come from the core world of Biesel that's literally a hop, skip and an FTL jump away from the station.

I tried Planetside 2 once. It took 22 hours to install, 3 hours to update the launcher after that, and then I could only run around with my head pointed skyward for a measly 7 frames per second. If I looked down, it lagged so much that it verged on crashing.

NEBBY

As a super mixed race hispanic/black/white person, I will agree that I do enjoy well RP'd racism scenarios as well (Thought I hate that the word 'racism' is being used in this situation, when 'speciesism' is much, much more fitting.). And while I might disagree that statement about civil rights, I do agree that the first contact dates of these alien species is pretty early to eliminate all the preconceptions and prejudices from the human population and collective psyche (Maybe it's long enough to eliminate the immediate outward insults and protests, but not the deeper running roots of it.). It took quite a while for people just to accept people who looked slightly different into their fold, so I doubt everyone's going to feel right at home with talking space cats and alligator men and Jack Skellington-looking computer beings. Skrell are a different case, because while they are the allies of humanity, you don't tend to see that many on the station.

Looks like I have a new fetish.

I have a picture of such a moment occurring on the fledgling Aurora.

Well, unless he somehow learns to code in BYOND and gets access to wherever our server's code is stored, I think it can safely be said that it's not going to happen in the near future, at least until there's a forecast of snow in Hell.

THAT'S MY FETISH

Yeah- no. It doesn't matter what the roundtype is. You're ALWAYS here to RP.

Penlights can already be put in the earslot though. Hue.

That moment when you remember that one of your characters is actually engaged to a Tajaran...

WELL IN THAT CASE but b u srs?

Chapter 2: Pursuit Huehuehuehuehue.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah... No.

Hue.

Now, I ain't no expert in the nature of yer Japanese sex cartoons and all, but ain't Diggermen just a ripoff of them Pokermen that them kids keep wailin' on about? Ain't like I care, though. Y'all youngin's should stop watchin' them Japanese sex cartoons. It's against God, now I'll tell ya hwat.

That... That was me who ran that event....
