Title: Liberal Community Squad
Post by: mainiac on December 12, 2009, 07:14:49 pm

I felt like doing a community game in the sense of you give me your name and I send you to your valiant death in the name of liberalism!  So sign on up!

Game type is We Didn't Start the Fire and Nightmare mode.

Spoiler: Insight into a Revolution (click to show/hide)

The day I was born in 1984...
C - the Macintosh was introduced.

My parents named me Ronald Regan.
The doctor said I was a boy.

When I was bad...
E - my father lectured me endlessly, trying to make me think like him.

In elementary school...
E - I was the class clown.  I even had some friends.

When I turned 10...
E - my parents divorced.  It still hurts to read my old diary.

In junior high school...
D - I played violent video games at home.  I was a total outcast.

Things were really bad...
D - when I was sent to religious counseling, just stressing me out more.

Well, I knew it had reached a crescendo when...
E - I resorted to controlling people.  Had my own clique of outcasts.

I was only 15 when I ran away, and...
E - I volunteered for a left-wing candidate. It wasn't *real* though, you
know?

Life went on.  On my 18th birthday...
C - I celebrated.  I'd saved a thousand bucks!

Fred Miller is now Robert Redding's unconditional love slave.

In what capacity will Janathan Fox best serve the Liberal cause?
-Come to Marsden Apartments as a regular member?
-Stay at Ministry of Love as a sleeper agent?

Some sort of bug with the sleeper system.  Welcome to the squad, Justin Tomez!

Damn, that was a close call. 

It started when Jonathan convinced Reg and I that we should hire some prostitutes.  Uh, not like that.  Hire them for the cause.  The cause?  Well, let's just say that we've come to realize a few things, being together, and wanted to set out to change them.  But about the hookers.  They always hang around them swanky apartments so that's where we went.  But it didn't turn out too well, half of them were too crazy from the drugs the ministry of love has 'em hooked on and the other half thought we were crazy.  Then that someone's fingering went wandering and next thing went south fast.  People started screaming the guns came out and some bastard tried to shoot me twice.  Thank statistics that his aim sucked but he nicked me twice.  I tell ya, there's too many guns in this country.

Reg has a different idea now.  Says he knows a crowd that we should reach out to.  Might be worth it, Reg seems like quite the revolutionary these days.

Dangit. Well, maybe we should surf the homeless shelter or crack houses for recruits. Or just stick with hippies and college students.

What was your last choice for the insight into a revolution? (Edit: Just realized I could check by looking at your founder's career, so you picked C, college classes.)

Redding's very secret blog

Jan 26:
Things have changed.

We did what we originally planned.  We made contact with Reg's crowd and they even put us in touch with a couple of hookers for Jon.  But what we've learned changed everything.

The people Reg knew, they ain't even proper people anymore.  Not living in so much pollution.  They've been mutated, turning into stuff that wasn't right.  Kids with no eyes.  Old ladies with claws for hands.  There musta been hundreds of these people, poor souls got shafted by the world and forgotten about.  All this time living in the same city with them and we never knew.

I asked Reg why he'd never done anything about this and he just laughed, asked who cared about mutants like him, then brushed away his bangs to reveal an eye smack dab in the middle of his forehead.  I'd known the guy three weeks and hadn't known...

A couple days later, Jon and one of the hookers showed up with a young girl in tow, broken chain's still on her wrist.  The hooker's cousin or neice or something.  Apparently there's a lot of kids like that still out there.

There's so much of the world that we'd rather ignore or just never even know about.  Too much of the world.  There ain't no space left for folks to act decent.

Jon asked Dianne if she thought she could seduce one of the agents from the ministry of love.  She just sighed, sayin' she'd tried in the past, but apparently them boys just weren't interested in gettin' laid.
