Well then, this little break, much less useful than the one about Dust. I was hoping to see something about culture and stuff, not vague generalizations that only really reinforce the point that the world is a scary place beyond the walls of the Kingdoms. Oh well, till next week then.

Pretty much it confirms there are people who, for some reason or another, decide to live outside these fortified cities (like Ruby's entire family).
-And like most of Ruby's family, they tend to disappear overnight without explanation. But disappear from who?

As evil as Roland may seem to be, I don't think his aim is to destroy the one thing keeping the nasties away from him.

Wlking Dead "New World"

Sounds a lot like the late-stages of an unrelated zombie-RP where we raided a few british armories, liberated some slaves, and then got invaded by France.
-Because the joke was that regions of France had made it illegal to die already, and was therefore better prepared for such things, also: Outbreak of 1951.

My character took a Milan to the face using a literal museum-piece machinegun because it took .303 rimmed ammo (ammunition was still scarce, but we kept clinging to our automatics, especially when people started shooting back).
-Bows, crossbows, and high-end air-rifles (.22 cal) are great for one or two, but when the mob comes around...

Since the character was based on myself down to the last, he was already deaf and blind due to untreated medical complications.

A typo doesn't really create a language barrier, but okay.

It does when *I* start making typoes, just ask the regulars of IRC.

There is a slight chance that we're looking too deeply into this.

Also, I tend to use coping and dealing interchangeably. Bad habit.
-Coping is to continue without solving or addressing the problem itself and pretending everything is fine.

His sisters'... girlfriends?
-We may need to take a break. Lack of sleep seems to be creating a language-barrier. And if not, it will once I start posting in unts and grunts.

Having a look....

We have a guy like Neptune, who is shallow enough to drop a date without explanation or apology, for fear of being embarrassed.
-Jaune gives Neptune a good scolding and then Neptune decides to resume his date with Weiss.

And Juane, a hold-out that is being told 'No' without explanation, because Weiss felt embarrassed to be seen hanging-out with an under-achiever (be it Juane or Ruby).

It seems Monty's angle isn't quite so much Juane, as much as trying to figure out why Weiss says 'No.' so often.... even to bunk-beds.

Not defending Juane, because he's too super-ridiculously-dense to justify defending (almost to the same level as Caboose). Either way, what Juane does have going for him, is persistence despite adversity; being able to put-up with Cardin's bullying was likely a quality he learned when handling his sisters' boyfriends. He may honestly think that is how guys normally act (aside from Cardin's group, and Sun+Neptune, where are all the other boys he is supposed to role-model from?).

... Dangit, I'm like a dog that found a bone to chew between roleplays.

Best Videogame Soundtrack

Personally there is no best but games like Gears, Payday, Halo, Dragon Age, Star Wars KOTOR, Crusader Kings (Though it can get grating after repetition), Dynasty Warriors, Fallout, Command and Conquer, Super Robot Wars, and Assassin's Creed tend to have good soundtracks.Of course there's a lot of more but these are off the top of my head. The classics like Link and Mario still stand the test of time.

The only pre-ESRB games you mentioned were Mario and Link/Zelda, and only if you mean their pre super-NES incarnations.

Pretty much, any pre-ESRB game that came as hardware-shareware is engraved into the minds of 20-30 year olds everywhere.
-There's even a chance you've heard music from games you've never played.

Now do a barrel-roll.

'05. Civics asked for a mock UN-resolution. Found Nationstates. RPed to test crazy social theories.

Yes, yes, yes. I found it really implausible that Jaune could have seven sisters and not know how to handle women expertly. If they're mostly older sisters, I'm sure he would have been around to hear horror stories about creepy guys or girls who wouldn't leave them alone, surely he'd learn from that! Right? I mean, unless his sisters are all very distant. But then how would he dance so well under the excuse that he has many sisters?Foster, I hope you're spot-on. :C

Unless his sisters have *really* bad taste in men.
-And they could be in-laws.

He could be emulating the men he's seen having the most 'success' at impressing his sisters, based on how much they talk of them.
-Which if you follow the Ben Franklin playboy-handbook ('bro-code), yes, it works (provided they think positive).

It is a tad hypocritical to call any Weiss/Ruby hate/adore-to-respect/respect ship-development as character development (despite setbacks) and how Juane is trying to figure out how non-incest relations work as anything else.

9 chapters, it's been about a semester and at least a couple weeks since the show started in universe, I can imagine there have been many...interesting attempts in that period.

To be fair, Weiss gives off quite a few mixed signals.
