Never saw Italian Job. Was there a gay guy with a mustache in it?

 Edward Norton plays the "villian". He might or might not have been gay, but he for damn sure had the look down.

Re: The New OOC

It's a nineties or earlier thing. We had stereotypes about what homosexuals looked or acted like, because if we didn't our hyper-religious culture would have probably seen them as Communists 2.0 - "They could be anyone, and they are here to corrupt our youth and drain our manhoods away!" (See Dr. Strangelove for that last insight.) Hell, at a few points, that is exactly what happened. Acceptance of homosexuals is very, very new - even in my childhood, I distinctly recall it NOT being acceptable to reveal you were gay, as the social punishment was very disproportionate.

I wouldn't even bat an eye of Edward Norton was aiming for exactly that, though. '90's audiences were often just older '80's audiences. They'd have been rather accepting of the "evil gay" archetype. (See TvTropes for this...or don't, as the site has negative effects on people's thinking, such as convincing them they are smart because they understand metamedia now, which then inspires them to crawl up their own asses.)

Homosexuals, for their part, tended to hate people who looked and acted in the stereotypical manner, because of how it made them look.

Re: The New OOC

Interesting. I knew some of that, but not that in depth.
Also, TvTropes is a fantastic site

Pretty much. To be fair some stereotypes have do have some basis in factual reality. I mean most African Americans like watermelon and fried chicken. There isnt anything wrong with that. To be fair that is just most Americans, but if asked most folks identify that as African Americans. Most native Americans are poor and uneducated. While fairly true is also a sorry state of affairs.

Re: The New OOC

I have so much going on right now and I've gotten several of my games confused with each other. Can I get a bulleted list of the things I still need to do?

Re: The New OOC

Sure.

- I think you and Jade have polished off most of your mutual backstory. I just need to know who you two saved, mostly so I can use it.
- Details about your cult. Just a quick and dirty description of the rough ten industrious ladies and gentlemen following you; names and basic personalities, so that I have something to grab. It actually occurred to me that they could be less of a "cult" and more of "your people who crossed the Black Forest with you" should you wish for that interpretation.
- Can't think of anything else.

Re: The New OOC

Inoue's village is small enough that ten people would be a not insignificant portion of the workforce. I think it better that she just inspired people to adopt her way of thinking through sheer conviction as she travels the lands -- people who have seen the problems in the world and the hypocrisy of the current clergy and asked themselves "how did this happen, and what can I do to help?" Their devotion to the Forgotten Way likely varies... a lot.

Re: The New OOC

Alright. So, enough backstory has been polished away so that the few parts that are incomplete can be finished by myself on short notice.

I'm going to take a one week breather to prep myself for this. I have a lot going on my side.

Re: The New OOC

It is. Just need a breather, time to sort everyone out, and time to make sure everyone has resources. I'm pretty sure everyone has three Mons at LV10, and if you don't (like Poe) we will help out.

Any unfinished details I'll hash out myself.

Re: The New OOC

Alright. One final creation. The setting, the area I'm placing you in. I've had my mental breather, or the closest thing thereof.

One final week. Then we start 08/09/2019, unless a player tells me to hold up.

Re: The New OOC

Rough week on my end. I'm starting tonight, barring another player.

Inoue and Jioni will start in one team.

Jade, Roman, and Poe will start in the other.

The stage will be the Legionnaire outpost of Burgsburg, a location that has suffered from a repeated back and forth from a now-depleted Legion and the driven Zotorior tribe. The population is around three hundred, and right now, supplies are holding out. Nothing has gone horribly wrong yet.

Since you indicated didn't want them, give yourself two empty Capture Crystals.

Re: The New OOC

I am salvaging everything I can and killing this game again in a week. I will not be bringing it back, not on RPOL, anyways.
