So if SD.net were a village...

Post by Coyote »

Safe to say Mike Wong would be the Mayor; that he is a civil engineer only gives reinforcement to that....

Durandal would be one of the Board of Directors for the local University's Science department.

Some of the Army and Marine troops could probably work as cops for what few laws we'd have.... on weekends Jegs might also be the local pastor, and I could fill the place of a Rabbi if anyone wished...

Needless to say this would be a creative town, and I feel bad for anyone who tries to engage our public figures in any sort of debate...

Alyrium would own and Einy manage the most happenin' place in town, 72-hour parties on weekends and the most amazing role-playing into-the-night on weekdays.

Aerius and jmac run the local mountain-biking shop. Marina has the Poly Sci department at the Uni in an iron grip. Perhaps Sheppard runs the Military History museaum and extensive library. Stravo runs the library and the local printing press. Local fanzines cover every possible genre. Spanky runs the video store with the most impressive collection of Anime on the planet.

Sometmes the cops have to bust up drunken weekend brawls between the HAB boys and their rival gang the Mechas.



Well, that's off the top of my head. What else?
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Wong would be mayor

Our resident degree holders would run the local college... I would join their ranks eventually...

I would of course be student at said university, and would host MASSIVE D&D games in my dorm

Ein would own and operate the local club.

HAB would be the local militia

GALE.. oh sweet non-existant Jesus...

One of the other usergroups would be the... Undercover police

Writers Guild... Runs the library

The monkeys... They will run the... oh good Dawkins....

SirNitram... Well he would be doing the same thing I do, and we would plot to destroy out PCs

I'd have to take control of that video store from Spanky. I'm sure he can find something better to do anyways.

As for the reason for this:

I have over a year of experience working in a video store, including time in a management position.
While Spanky's collection of anime may be vast, my collection of movies overall outranks his, I'm sure. [url=http://www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.html? ... ederPeruse[/url] for yourself.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

If SD.Net were a village, I would live somewhere on the outskirts, talking to various woodland creatures and living in a cave and eating shoes. Maybe growing a big beard in the process.
