Katurian's tears got me wondering: it has now been over three years since the Porter was activated, and that time has not been a lot of fun for a lot of people in the Cityverse. Reality-warping, being trapped in their worst nightmares, supervillain murders, cities being destroyed, wars over Porter technology- the people of this Earth have had to put up with a lot.

How many NPC lives have been ruined by Import-related shenanigans? How many have your characters negatively impacted somehow?

The focus here is on innocents more than jailed criminals. I'm curious to see if we can get a rough estimate by just throwing in examples of game events and character impacts on the hapless NPCs around them. Example:

-The game started shortly after the (still unexplained?) disappearance of the original police force, half of which later came back zombified. That's maybe thirty thousand gone right there.
-Jack Bauer has killed 41 people during his time in the Cityverse, but four of those occupy a grey area due to being undead, and one of them was an Import who came back. Also they've all been bad guys!
-The Major caused 114 deaths in Operation Gotterdammerung, and has gotten well over a hundred of his own minions killed in his various schemes. The raid on the HIVE caused a large amount of death and destruction, and the people he has turned into vampires are technically dead as well. The watchman killed in the blood bank raid is on his head also.

This is not a meme or an effort to establish firm game canon, just a bit of curiosity seeking to quantify Katurian's sorrow. Answer as much or as little as you like, and let's see what we come up with!

FINALLY, AFTER 9000 YEARS, the Motorbikes for Errbody post is actually up!

/FANFARE

So yeah, if you want your character to pick up one of Bruno's custom motorbikes, post here and we'll hash out the details! Which will mostly involve you going "I want it be this this and this and go this fast" and me going "yeah it's totally plausible for Bruno to have built that! STAMP OF APPROVAL." Stuff like custom paint jobs are always an option too (Bruno is basically bros with the owners of every motorcycle customization/repair shop in the greater City metropolitan area) but those parts can get hashed out ICly if you want.

Also if you like I can go and hunt down a "motorcycle PB" for you, like I did for Cassandra's soon-to-be bat-cycle and Bruno's personal ride.


Posting this in spam because a) it has nothing to do with anything and b) I have at least one actually serious and totally unrelated OOC post to make later today and I don't want to flood the comm.

This is the most stupid post! But that's okay, because that's what GDS is for.

If your characters wore Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfume, which scents would they wear?

For those of you not in the know! BPAL is basically...goth fantasy nerd perfume. It has scents based on Witchblade, Lovecraft stories, The Last Unicorn, RPG races and classes, mythology, Hellboy, the works of Neil Gaiman, and lots of other things. There's an entire category of perfumes based on dragons. Yep. Even if you're smart enough to avoid sinking into the black hole of actually buying from there, it's entertaining to browse and associate their stuff with characters! At least...if you're a huge nerd. Like me.

Bonus for if you can come up with a way for your characters to actually wear this stuff. Aside from the ones that have poofed out of existence because the characters they were based on got 'Ported in, anyway.

TvTropes is a wiki dedicated to compiling and cataloging the various tropes, devices, and conventions present in various forms of fiction- including Livejournal roleplay. And it's been quite a while since we had a meme devoted to said website! So it's time for:

The TvTropes Meme

The rules are:

1)Click on the above link. Prepare to have your time wasted.
2)Post here with your characters or a Trope.
3)People respond with applicable Tropes or examples from C&C, or you give your own! You can list tropes applicable to game history, or simply link a relevant series/character page. Or, a thread for C&C Tropes might have a comment titled Crowning Moment of Awesome, C&C Edition, and examples of awesomeness from the game would be given.
4)I'm updating C&C's trope page, so let me know what you think belongs on there! I'm only doing tropes for the game itself and its events: since C&C has a constantly-shifting roster of over a hundred characters, trying to do tropes for individual character traits would surely lead to madness.
5)Everybody has fun and feels good! See this tag for past examples of how this thing works.

Questions?

I was going to post this earlier, but it kept slipping my mind! First of all, thank you for the happy C&Cversary wishes!

Second of all, because there was interest in it, I'm thinking Saturday we can all gather together in spam for a not!meme and post our character's C&C histories. (It was proposed over here.)

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO READING THEM, GUYS. Does anyone have any questions?

I FUCKING LOVE YOU GUYS: a compliment meme

☂ - Comment with your username and characters
☂ - Comment to everyone else possible with just one compliment

☂ - Everyone feels better!
☂ - Keep it going as long as possible.
☂ - Crit has its place and this isn't it.

(i'm sorry it's so early, but this is the only time today i'll be free and i know some people are having a hard time lately so.....AHEM LET'S TRY TO KEEP THIS GOING ALL DAY OKAY? no one's late seriously)

Hey CnC, it's just about Spring! You know what the best part about Spring is? That's right, the

Hot Text - http://www.sparklee.com

With chicks in the nest already:
Phoebe the Hummingbird's nestcam (two week-old chicks)
Chickam (baby chickens, HATCHING RIGHT NOW)
WVEC Bald Eagle cam (two chicks, seems to be temporarily down)
Barn Owls in Oceanside, CA (BUNCHES of them)
Chula Vista Barn Owls (two chicks, Bonnie and Clyde)

Nesting (or no announced hatchings):
Duke Farm Eagles
Decorah Eagles
Laguna Beach hummingbird (two eggs, scheduled to hatch next week)
Pennsylvania Falcon cam
Richmond Falcon cam (not yet nesting)

I really wanted to put up an Osprey cam but they don't even start nesting until April, I think.

You can find bunches more on UStream, and more on independent websites if you just google "bird webcam" or whatever.

Don't like birds? Have an octopus.

Hey guys let's do that thing where I ask a question about your character's lifestyle and you answer! Sexy, right?

Alright. Well what I'm curious about today is

How does your character sleep? Do they talk in their sleep or something like that? Do they hog the bed or take up as little room as possible? What position do they sleep in? Is there a reason for this behavior? If so, what is it? Do they have a fitful sleep or a restless one? Etc, etc, etc.

and yes this is a pretty mundane question but it could be interesting! And I want to see all your answers!

Oh god you guys this website. THIS WEBSITE. Seriously. This woman records her husband's chatterings while he's asleep and it is hilarious.

Not only are there amazing insults such as these:

"You're such a rectal intrusion. Unwelcome and painful."

"Scientists in the future will completely struggle to work out how you were ever classified as an intelligent life form."

“Your silence says a lot. Mainly, you haven’t got the intellect to say something mildly witty. Or intelligent. Or anything of substance. You are, by definition, a fuck-up.”

"You've got a nice face. But your personality is one huge cock block."

But! some of them are pretty much tailor-made for C&C. Take these:

"I need: A mask, nun-chucks, rubber suit, shitloads of talc. Got list, will shop. It's a superhero shopping list, shithead."

And this: "Back off Robin. Batman is my bitch now. You're just a bitch's bitch, bitch."

And this: "If I'm gonna be in charge, I need a cape. You can't do the job without a cape. Take me to the cape tailor."

SO. As a not-meme but still something funny, why don't you post your favorites? :P

SINCE WE SEEM TO HAVE A GROWING YOUNG ALLIES CAST, I figured I'd mention that I've iconed the first two issues here and here.

And, uh. I own the comm [livejournal.com profile] youngallies, so I came to you C&C: what should I do with this?

Look at how useless my post is!

If you are disappointed, you may have this to discuss instead.
[identity profile] temporaltossed.livejournal.com
Because I swear, I want to send the following sentiments to LJ.

WARNING: Video is NSFW for language, dahhhlings. )

To make this more relevant... Tell me, C&C, what's your favorite insult?* Was it here? Shakespeare? Comics? That dude that sleeps on the corner?

Perhaps we can all take turns yelling them at LJ.

*Responses may be delayed, for all the obvious reasons.

TVTROPES!

So guess what? C&C has a section on TVTropes now! (Third one down on that page) For the uninitiated, TvTropes is a wiki dedicated to compiling and cataloging the various tropes, devices, and conventions present in various forms of fiction- including Livejournal roleplay. On that note, I do believe it's been some time since we had a meme devoted to said website:

The TvTropes Meme

The rules are simple:

1)Click on the above link.
2)Post here with your characters or a Trope.
3)People respond with applicable Tropes or examples from C&C, or you give your own! For example, Starscream would, of course, be The Starscream. Bonus points for tropes only applicable to the game! After all, their canon tropes are most likely already listed on the website. Alternatively, a thread for C&C Tropes might have a comment titled Crowning Moment of Awesome, C&C Edition, and examples of awesomeness from the game would be given.
4)Let me know if you think of any more tropes that could be added to C&C's section because I've been working on that.
5)Everybody has fun and feels good!

Questions?
