Reluctantly retired roleplayer.

Except when I'm not.

Why are you here when you should be writing posts?

You can edit a bad draft, but you cannot edit a blank page.

Green Arrow and Nightwing team up would be quite quip filled. That said I'll focus on solo adventures for the time being until I get a feel for Nightwing.
@Vandy Lex and Joker together are perfect.

Oh, absolutely. It painted Superman in a more human light. Smallville combined with JLU made me actually like Superman after believing he was just one unbeatable mess. But I can't look past the horrible writing in Smallville to say that it's a good show. Artistically, that is. The only truly good part about that show is the characterization of the main cast, most notably Lex, Lionel, Chloe and Lois, especially Lionel, who's I think to be the most fleshed out character in the whole show and one of my favorite TV characters ever.


Trope definer for Magnificent Bastard that he is. Man someone should play Lionel against Vandy's Supes instead of Lex lol.
@Hillan Personally I love Smallville however many because it was my introduction to comics. While there are numerous problems with it I believe if you were to condense the story down it would work well as a backstory for Superman. In fact Superman: Secret Origin shares a lot of the Smallville elements and characters such as Chloe and Lionel have both made it into the comics since. Smallville had a positive effect on Superman in much the same way B:TAS did on Batman just to a lesser degree.

Edit: I may also have been thinking of Superman: Birthright

Almost. Lobbyists represent agendas; they get their marching orders from higher on up. Nothing originates from Lobbyists but schemes on how to turn a Taylor Swift concert into a political fundraising opportunity. Evil as that is, I grant you.

PMed the GM. Considering Wondy. Hi folks!


Does this mean we could get a real Amazon?
Absolutely. But currently the biggest problem in the world isn't really the terrorists, gun control, the Russians or even the nukes.

Biggest problem is the lobbyists who plays for their own agenda. And not in a Illuminati sense.


You used the word 'the' six times in that reply.

Six divided by two is three, and a triangle has three sides.

Illuminati!

But yes you're absolutely right. For the most part we've bred a selfish and self important world meaning most people look out primarily for their own interests first. Hence the reigning capitalism.
We had one and the Romans killed him!

On a serious note, for all we know people with the potential to be our world's Luthor have been born and killed throughout history whether because they were feared, weren't given the proper opportunity or simply because they were born in a war torn part of the world and became another statistic.

Dictatorship is the most effective one, look at the Roman empire, or the Franks.
Nazis weren't that effective imo, they were too driven by beliefs.

The average individual is pretty dumb, myself included. I don't know what's best for mankind, odds are that 99.9% of people don't either. In fact, the people are the least qualified ever to decide the fate of their country.

Reason I think organized anarchism is the best is because I despise most authority figures, as most of them think they deserve respect because of their title and not because of their actions. In a OA civilization we wouldn't have to deal with that. People would sort of follow whoever it is that is the brightest, most charismatic person. Not who has the most money in their pocket.

Course, Anarchism can't last forever. It needs to evolve into a civilization again. But it's a reset button for a couple of generations.


Perhaps at first but people I find will eventually flock to wealth as well. With or without a monetary system there is still a system of wealth. whomever has the most food, livestock, weapons etc. Intelligence and charisma may count out the gate but if you don't use that to build power and wealth then there's no point in following someone like that in a land without rule. Simply put there's going to be a dumb person who won't hesitate to shoot before talking.
@Hillan In all honesty I am totally up for a fascist government or monarchy as opposed to democracy. Democracy works too slow and doesn't even benefit the people.

Anarchy will just lead to Darwinism which depending on perspective is good or bad haha.
