So if SD.net were a village...

[RogueIce]

See? That's the problem, we can't have you Gnomes vaporizing the kids either, it'll be bad for publicity, not to mention what happens when the lawyers get involved. We have enough problems as it is with the HAB and aerius' mercenary thugs using the beach for wargames, what do you think will happen when word gets out that Gnomes are killing kids with rayguns? I'm sorry, but the beach is off limits, but you are welcome to use the lighthouse a bit further down the shore.

So, what, you'll let the mercs and the HAB get away with senseless destruction, but not the Gnomes (who at least have a focus for the aforementioned destruction)? Is it because we're little? We are vertically challenged! Are you discriminating based on our size? Size envy perhaps? Stravo and Vympel, I may be needing your services soon.

All that aside, if we promise to only use stun weapons, would you be ok with us?

The HAB work for the government and our glorious leader. Further dissension will be met with gnome-squshage.

Nyet, we even have Gnome tankists in the HAB, due to their tiny size,
allowing us to deploy the latest T-100 tanks from Russia, which are
half the size of modern Russian MBTs, which waste so much space with
their wasteful reliance on 5 foot tankists

Oh yeah? OH YEAH?! I think not mr wizard.

Nevermind that whatever is on the recieving end of such a weapon is utterly destroyed.

Unless it's shielded with darkstar tech.

What may I ask on the beach is gonna be protected by Darkstar tech?

They came to me with official government documentation and forms which can be summarized as "we use your beach or you die and we use your beach anyways", I can't exactly argue with that. Plus they had lawyers. Besides, it's not as if they're killing innocent children.

All that aside, if we promise to only use stun weapons, would you be ok with us?

Mmmm...Ok, in that case you can camp out by tower 4. It's the one furthest from the armed forces training area, I wouldn't want any "accidents" happening on my beach. And no kicking, biting, or otherwise abusing the kids after you've stunned them mmmkay?

Try me, you existance will be short lived.

You dare invoke that idea for personal gain?

SEGNOR is officially sanctioned by Deputy Mayor David. Or whoever it was that made us the Usergroup. But I'm pretty sure it was him. And if not him, it was Mayor Wong, Chief of Staff Dalton, or, uh, Fourth in Command Sceptre.

And we'll get lawyers if we have to. *puts Stravo and Vympel on speed-dial*

What is this? A segregated beach? We demand full access! We'll not go near where the mercs and HAB play because, well, normally we wouldn't want to, unless we get bored and initiate a TGOD. But that's besides the point.

And how do you expect us to kick people over ten times our size? We may gnaw some ankles, but only if they start stuff with us first.

[Rye]

all the pretty ladies of course! And the orange plantation, and secret gnome tunnels.

Hmmmm, I also wish to work for the Department of Public Information, you know, disseminate the wondrous properties of my products, how they save lives, how they make people happy, how you can have glow in the dark fishies inside the walls of your house to give it a really cool aquarium look...

[Exonerate]

I'd probably be the local teenage computer geek/gamer

You realise that that's what most of this village is going to be made up of?
Our community will be a bunch of bastard children raised by computers and tv!

In that case, I get to tutor the kids in the ways of the computer

Err, I guess I'm not too bad at soccer... I could go on the local soccer team or something.

Hey, I'm not letting Marina anywhere near my precious SDnet university which I'd be Chancellor and Head Lecturer at.

Otherwise, I'd be a Political Advisor/Revolutionary...

[RedImperator]

I'm drawing a map right now (thought I mentioned this before the thread is locked).

[Wicked Pilot]

I'll provide air service. Just give me a runway and an aircraft that's not too complicated.

Wow, you are going to hate me since I'm the part of SD.net Universities version of Delta House. Toga! Toga! Toga!

In any case I'd have to be the Zoo keeper, Pit of Rabid Monkeys is the main attraction.

Do they get lots of "entertainment"?

As for the currency, I say we have the SD. They would either have naked women on them, or members of this board (Mike for SD100, Dalton for SD50, David for SD20, until we get to me for -SD1000). There would be an infinite amount of US dollars to the SD, as SDs are simply paper money someone printed out.

Hell no, I'm from a place that makes most frats and sororities look soft:

Oh yeah. And I'll toga party your arse into the ground whipper-snapper!

Yes, thanks for correcting my error.

And, if SD.net were a village, every other shop would be a porno shop, with future shops not opening because all possible names for a porno shop have been taken.

As for me, when I'm not out in the woods, talking to the trees, or hiding out at home, I'll be downtown in my renovated Industrial Age brick warehouse.

Basement: evenly split between a nightclub and poolhall. The nightclub will have several open mic nights for all our musicians here, with the weekends reserved for touring bands. The pool hall will have pool tables, dart boards, and a fine selection of beers from around the world, and probably some pinball machines.

1st Floor: 1/2 coffeeshop and used bookstore, home to poetry slams and salons, but be nice to the cats, they bite. 1/4 all night diner, serving the greasy goodness of home cooked foods and breakfast is served 24 hours a day. The last 1/4 will be a international deli, yum.

2nd Floor: One half will be rehersal rooms, for our musicians to have a nice, warm, soundproofed place to practice. The other half will be a gallery, for all the budding sdnet artists and photographers.

3rd Floor: a state of the art recording studio, with the world's finest collection of vintage tube gear and mics. Gotta have tone.

4th Floor: my apartment, with an observatory and weather radar setup, so I can look at the stars, and predict the weather for y'all.

Come by anytime

Oh, Friday night is rib night (out back there's giant smoke pit), come hungry!
