I am well aware this is about the channel I created and whomever said "don't be an ass" has it spot on. Be an ass and I will warn you once. Be an ass again, and I will ban you.

I remember a day of rp where this security scan shit wasn't needed :)

So CCP are wibbling about soft clones and have that, frankly, ludicrous explanation of how jump clones work. "Picking the implants out" indeed.

Bah!

But, back to the original topic. I don't play Arnulf as some sort of super soldier. I do play him as someone who takes his meat body health seriously and who exercises regularly as a matter of course. His chosen form of exercise is a martial art. He also usually carries weapons when station regulations permit this. This is not because I want an excuse for him to kill another character, it's because I think of him as a warrior and it's part of his self-image. He doesn't kid himself about lasting more than five minutes tops against an actual ground soldier (DUST bunny or otherwise) however.

That said. Arn doesn't really approve of ship dueling to settle personal disputes (he doesn't like making his crew pay his debts). He would much rather meet up with the other person and go at it hand to hand in some sort of neutral venue. Of course RPing this would have to be preceded by a fair bit of OOC setup.

I agree with the above. If I'm going to fight with someone or kill someone IC, it has to be discussed OOC first and rules laid down.

Yeah, clearly CCP needs to get their story straight on this. I was assuming Aldrith also had an original body on ice somewhere, but Samira pointed those articles out to me and I was like "WELP".

Now I'm not sure what to think. All we know is that being killed outside of pod is possible, but you do not remember anything from that time to the time you last updated your infomorph.
Aldrith, I think you can have your original body somewhere on ice: The requirement of the burn-scan is braindeath, for one, so you can re-use the still prefectly fine body and just re-grow the brain (a bit like what happened to Aritcio, just, well, as if they had cut out the brain). Second possibility (the one I wouldn't prefer) is that you are playing a soft clone while the original Aldirth is somewhere slumbering on ice.

On the IGS, and in ingame things, there seems to be a trend lately for explosions and other violence.

Really? I always thought the IGS was way too friendly....

It's nice to see some changes. I've always felt everyone treads on egg shells, afraid to cause too many ripples.
