Ultra Lightning Strikers!! (inazuma eleven/shaolin soccer) Super Spirit Soccer RP

This will be a big one, and I'll probably need help GMing it. It'll be an anime inspired Soccer RP in the same vien as hobby animes like Beyblade or Yu Gi Oh.

There will be room for 11 players on the team along with supporting roles if we have more interest.

Each player will also have his or her own 'spirit beast' which they can call upon mid match to unleash wicked powers in play styles.

This RP will also require basic understanding of the rules of football/soccer but there will be a lot of room for rule bending as this is supposed to be fun.

This gets really complicated with blacks in America because the majority don't have a clear idea of where exactly it is the come from. Immigrants from Europe have an easier time trace because so many can trace their ancestry back through records and such until one finds exactly where they came from. But most blacks in America descend from slaves, and though most of those were taken from the west coast of Africa, the slave trade itself was a messy thing that permeated most of central and southern Africa as well so that slave forts on the Ivory Coast and the Congo coast acted on the continent as a straw sucking up captives from the rest of the continent. Those slaves mixed without their ancestries being recorded so that generic black identity is inevitable.

As for the individual thing, it sounds nice but it isn't going to happen. Humans aren't tigers, we are a tribal species. I guarantee you do it just as much as any the rest of us in this thread do, and your singular obsession with specific political movements would indicate that you've chosen your identity through groups possibly more strongly than anyone else here even if you are too proud to admit it. We define ourselves by group. It's a complicating factor but it's entirely human and we are as likely to shake it as we are to shake sexuality. I do say this as someone who more or less agrees with you on that point and honestly would prefer it if people stepped back and stopped beating their chest in the tribal battle-line to think about these things more thoroughly. But what are you going to do, people be people, and we aren't going to avoid that.

That wouldn't create Libertarians though, just sharpen the resolve of those who already exist.

@Vilageidiotx

it brought them out of the woodwork, just as bad really.

@Vilageidiotx@Dinh AaronMk it created libertarians BECAUSE of the attack on the ideology. They were united under fire. Sort of how you saw more psuedo intellectual creationists pop up after richard dawkins got popular.

This is a weird thing to piss me off but Bioshock and politics/ philosophy. Whenever I try to watch something bioshock related it's all "Oh. Masterful rebuttal of Ayn Rands stupid ideas lol" or in the case of number 2 how it criticizes collectivism and using the poor.

No one actually pays attention to bioshock plot because if they did they'd understand that the game doesn't make any points for or against Objectivism- hell I'm not even sure it actually practiced objectivism. Mostly on its charity crap but fuck it...read her work or visit an objectivist forum if you want to judge for yourself- Rapture only started falling apart when Ryan turned away from his ideals and tried to essentially make it into a nationalist, big government state.

Yes it had a crime problem but that wasn't a direct result of its capitalism or loose regulation more than it was artificially allowed to thrive due to its isolationist law. Which is ironic, that one of its only laws is the one that instigates and cages all the disputes into one big organized, criminal coup. If anything I could turn around and go "See, rapture in ten years leaped ahead above all other nations and governments following objectivitm and only fell when big government stepped in. Aided, of course by a crook manipulating the poor. There go Ryand speech about big authority and shallow altruism proved true"

I could...but I won't. Because that's stupid. What made bioshock 1 and 2 good was that the whole thing was about both a city and the people in it trying to live up to their ideals. In real life, I don't care who you are or what ideals or even philosophy you follow. Life both supports it and is against it, that's life. It dosen't treat cities no different that it treats people. What gave rapture...a city...so much personality was that both wore the accomplishment of life struggle to stand by those ideals and the disfigurements.

Bioshock shouldn't be used as an impulse cash in of on how "left or right" were incorrect. It should be used as an example of how to combine people to their ideology and yet still make them flawed and fragile humans, yet heroes/villains by living to their convictions in terms of writing. It is a warning, that dreams are worth fighting for but no man can fight forever and not become disfigured.

@ScreenAcne

Bioshock gave birth to too many libertarians, so for that reason I cant forgive it.

Looks like you two are in a fight now.

:)

Keep it interesting, and remember that Lee probably has the edge in skill, but Archie has very big advantage in having a mostly cybernetic body. Should be good!
