(OOC: The Randolfis are the Kingz ...)

Shayla Shabazz stood out on the street, looking for a buyer - a man to take her away for the night. Preferably a nice cop or an Agency member. Her father would like those the best. Especially one of the ones that actually carried a gun.

But Shayla was getting ahead of herself. First she had to round up enough men willing to do a big bust on the bank for the Sharks. She'd gotten a tip that the Sharks were being watched for a raid on the bank dressed as community workers. And now that they knew about it, they could exploit it.

Later that night, she had two men who worked in a road crew raring to go, along with their spare uniforms. Within the week, the Sharks would put one over on the naive Kingz and the incompetent SCPD.

My instructions from Mariann were 'no pruning', so I don't know what's going on, unless some unsavory threads have been deleted.

We're not paying anything - we bought a one-year upgrade license on the cheap and that was it. And going to a free service? Please no. What we have now is the best we're going to get for free.

Still, I wouldn't mind springing for an OpenTopic board. Infopop still rules the serious messageboard business.

Soruharva is the native tongue of magic.

As for the dragons, I don't really know. I'd imagine it could be a deep and guttural language out of the range of human ears.

(OOC: David, calm down. MSW, don't let it get to you.)

Quentin Randolfi made a triumphant return to the ghetto. People cheered in the streets, women threw flowers, and undercover cops watched closely. Those that weren't bribed to keep the other undercover cops from getting any worthwhile information, that is.

Mio left the celebration early. He had gotten a message that some Floridans had been shot up in a bar not too far away, but he didn't care about them. What he cared about were the disturbing reports of the immense force the SCPD used in dispersing the insurgents. If his reports were true, it meant that the Kingz were finally legitimized, and he had to make the neighborhood see that.

In the morning, a lone Shark wandered into town, raped a young girl, and left. Three hours later, his body was lying in a ditch, with the signature Randolfi knife in his back. Two hours after that, the police arrived, took testimony, and left.

Slitherzerikaiis is Alec's baby, but I have a copy on my HD.

Pralgradian Basic is basically English.

EDIT: zompist looks really interesting - I'll have to register there.

The thing is, when a member is deleted, the count on the front page decreases by one, but that member number is not reassigned. Members are deleted by board bugs and in one case, a personal request.

Well, right now Novah is just a lexicon, and I've always wanted to develop a grammar for it. One of the main obstacles has been my lack of time for a completely new project, but I'm getting plenty of practice studying Euskara (Basque) and Hebrew which means I'm in a nice language-y mood.

In Novah, each word is expressed as a rune/character, whereas compound words are characters next to each other, with spaces between compound words and all separate words in general.

Other languages include Slithzerikaiis, Soruharva, native Aizoan, and Pralgradian Basic, which is the language of the Empire.

(OOC: Logo, the reason it was so brutal and shocking was because it was with guns, which are extremely rare.)

Mio looked Quentin in the eyes and saw the desperate look of a man with no life to live. And when he told him about their plan to take back the streets, he saw a spark again. A spark that spoke volumes about Quentin's feelings. Nobody could read him like his brother, and Mio knew that the Randolfi brothers would be reunited again.

A door slammed at the front of the station, startling the guard next to them. "What is it?" he called down the hall.

A hurried voice shouted back, "Granger's on his way - something about Randolfi."

Mio turned to the guard, handed him a wad of bills, and whispered softly, "Double the original payment if we make it out alive." The guard turned wordlessly to the cell and slid open the door, unlocking Quentin's handcuffs. Handing Mio and Quentin extra police uniforms, one far too tight and short to be his, three police officers walked out of a side door into an alley.

Just as they were about to leave, the guard called back, "I thought they transferred Randolfi to Plymouth County this morning." Stepping outside, they stood in the cold alley, surrounded by garbage and the stench of disease and smiled. The Randolfi brothers were together again, and the guard had just made a handy £8,000, nearly a year's pay.

As they were standing on the curb, a police cruiser drove past, splashing snow up onto the three men. They hurried down the street, off to York Avenue and towards Prince Boulevard. Granger got out of the cruiser and walked up to the doors of the station, preparing to confront Quentin Randolfi.

Emilio Randolfi strolled down Prince Boulevard alone, but everyone he passed gave him a wide berth. Most residents of this quarter of Serendipity City knew that he was one of the highest-ranking members of the Kingz, and nobody wanted to tangle with him.

Mio didn't mind all the muttering that went on as he went by, and he knew that he stood up for the people of this quarter when the police didn't or were bribed to look the other way. His walk took him down to Serendipity City's penitentiary. He gave the guard a quick glance and headed down one of the side hallways.

He stopped at a small cell at the end of the hallway, sitting on a stool looking in the cell, talking with the dejected man lying inside. Quentin Randolfi was serving in the second year of his five-year sentence for killing two police officers in a car crash. What most people didn't know was that in the back of the car was Shark deputy Nené Perez, who had bribed the cops to help him escape from the scene of a brutal shooting that had killed Edwin Randolfi, their father.

Why was Mio here? Reassurance, for sure. Family ties, too. But that was why he came every week. Today was special. Today Quentin would be able to join the rest of his friends and family as they organized their plans to take back the streets.

I disagree. The sign of being a good RPer is being able to control other peoples' characters accurately for the advancement of the plot.

Israel, Palestine, and the US Hand in it All in General
Triad Mage

Israel has its own weapons and its own forces. Israel has shown remarkable restraint, because in a similar situation, the PLO would not hesitate to eradicate the Israelis. The Israelis have had the capability to completely destroy all of the Palestinians in the area for decades, but they have not succumbed to the temptation.

And don't forget that the US needs Israel. Israel the source of most of the CIA's intel regarding Arab nations, and Israeli intelligence officers are among the best in the world. Withdrawing US support would result in the severance of those ties, which hurts American anti-terrorist efforts.

Some very interesting reading I've come across is by a U-Penn professor who initially held a pro-Palestinian position, but after examining the facts, did a 180 and now supports Israel: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/article.php3?id=2322

I prefer people that aren't afraid to take control of characters, as long as they play them in a reasonable way. Someone who's read all of the posts and knows how the characters think and would act, and how they can separately keep that information from their own character.
