I'd like to differentiate between having a prostitute in a scenario and having the option to use her 'services'. Trouble in Mendor includes a brothel, but you do not have the option to have sex with any of the ladies. Slack's scenarios all include prostitutes purely for the sake of the sex - no character depth or anything like that. It is the latter that I object to. -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash. Dammit, even JV had to think twice.

That's a good point, actually, and that sequence was easily the best part of Quint. So maybe I'm wrong. :P -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash. Dammit, even JV had to think twice. Posts: 1861 | Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00 |

quote:Congratulations! I award you the grand prize for missing the point. If you had been paying attention, you'd have noticed I used the phrase "transparently mean-spirited" because that is the phrase Stug used to describe the actions of myself and others. So take your sweaty left testicles back and deliver them to the correct address. [quote]TM has a good point, painful as it is, for me to admit such. Kel ran a campaign on a joke principle. He seemingly had little intention to take it seriously, by the time that voting came about, so we can hardly say that he had the community's best interests at heart. While it was his democratic right to run, that doesn't mean that it's right to nonce up a serious matter, with a joke for a principle.[/quote]What? Are you saying that nobody could have seriously thought Kel would be a good mod? Or are you saying that his choice to support Stug, Aran, and Thuryl over Alec was an obviously non-serious choice? I'm really confused as to how you can think that anything Kel did 'nonced up a serious matter.' -------------------- Sex is easier than love.

A few things to respond to, so forgive me if I happen to double post. quote:The election doesn't concern me in the slightest. It's an idle curiosity at best. The reason I'm participating in this topic is because I see someone being unfairly attacked and wish to defend him. Plus, I like a good debate as much as the next guy. :) I fail to see how Kel has less of a 'sense of community' than Alec (whatever that even is) nor why that matters. The rules didn't say "you can only transfer your votes to Alec, because he is a better candidate than Stug, Aran, or Thuryl, and it is the only responsible action for anyone who has a sense of community". Kel was not "placing his flaccid, elongated clitoris where he knew it had no place." He was applying the rules, as written, to support the candidates he preferred. And I think it's terribly inconsistent of you to insist on respect being shown for Alec while insulting Kel in the same breath. -------------------- Sex is easier than love.

quote:See, all we've done is exactly what you say Alec has done. From where I'm standing, Kel did nothing wrong, so Alec calling his actions shameful is uncalled for and transparently mean-spirited. Not once have we called for Alec to be banned or anything like that. We were just expressing our legitimate suspicions.

quote:Johnny Favourite. Toast, the reason that people objected to the prostitute is that that author always includes them, entirely gratuitously. It's not that people are prudes, but when you throw in sex for the sake of it, it's tasteless and vulgar. Sex crimes are generally a bad idea for Blades, I'd say. They just don't work within the medium. The only time I've seen rape used effectively as a plot device in Blades was Nikolai in Roots - and it was hardly a pivotal event. Basically just a backstory thing. True, no one has really tried, but there may be a reason for that. -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash.

quote:Fair point, and said very reasonably. However, I was referring to Alec himself and not you. While you did defend Alec, you did not attack Kel unfairly, as Alec and TM did, which is what I was objecting to. True, you did say that you saw nothing wrong with Alec's statements, which would imply that you agreed with his assessment of Kel's actions as "shameful", but it's not explicit so I ignored it. The simple facts of the matter are: 1) Alec made the rules. 2) Alec lost under those same rules. 3) Alec blamed and insulted Kel unfairly. 4) A bunch of people stepped in to defend Kel. 5) Alec got huffy and announced his departure. It's got nothing to do with feuds or bad blood. -------------------- Sex is easier than love. Posts: 1861 | Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00 |

No, really, it won't work. How close to Warnambool do you think Canberra is? But for the record, we broadcast on 91.9 and 94.3 FM. Edit: Flamefiend, or Crunchy Frog as he goes by on these forums, lives in Canberra too. I have no idea if he's tuned in at any point.

Spring, read the thread, eh? He hasn't retired from the election race, he lost that. He's supposedly retired from the community, so he supposedly won't even be reading your post. -------------------- Sex is easier than love. Posts: 1861 | Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00 |

I was not aware that the community sucked, that mods had much power to change that, or that you of all people had problems with being a dick in general. And hey, maybe making sure Alec couldn't mod was his way of making the community suck less. :P Edit: Okay, now taking bets on how long Alec will stay gone forever for this time. I say two months.

Not in between, because I have only worked in Canberra and Mt Gambier. I could give you the frequency, but there is no way you would be able to tune in. Likewise with the website, but we don't stream audio at this stage (I'm hoping it happens soon). -------------------- Sex is easier than love.

quote:From where I'm standing, it was an application of the rules, not an abuse. You can't say "A candidate may shift votes given to him to other candidates" and then act indignant when someone does that to get the result they want. Well, you can, but it makes you look stupid. I find it noteworthy that the two people who have been the most enthusiastic about defending your words are those who like you and hate Kel. I do not find it surprising, but I find it noteworthy. -------------------- Sex is easier than love. Posts: 1861 | Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00 |

On reflection, not really. It's just that they want to kidnap Thuryl's babies and raise them as their own. It's okay after all. [ Thursday, July 14, 2005 17:56: Message edited by: Ash Lael ] -------------------- Sex is easier than love. Posts: 1861 | Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00 |
