Not sure. I'd probably try to talk him out of slavery or something like it, but I guess we wouldn't get along too well.

Without a doubt I would spend my time beating the guy senseless, or trying at the very least.

The way that SOB works at this point is detrimental to my enjoyment of this game, and THAT statement stems from the horrible epiphany I had about a week ago - one major reason I practically don't play EVE anymore is due to the miserable and hopeless situation my toon is in. I'm positive our day would be a horrible ordeal for both.

I had more here but there really is no need to derail an innocent tread with this would-be rant. I hope others get along better with their toons than I would.

Shiori is weird and antisocal and doesn't care for baseliners, roundeyes, or people who don't have much to say on the human condition, so we'd just do dinner or something, only to have a context to operate in. With her looking off and desperately wanting to be elsewere.

Iwan'd be a better person to hang with. He'd go "Man, you know what I never have time for anymore, now that I'm the CEO of an interstellar capsuleer corporation? Bowling." And I'd be "Fuck it, dude, let's go bowling." Beers will be had, and pins brutally struck down in the prime of their youth.

Key thing to remember is that you're not the only one who can have epiphanies.

Somewhat confused here. What do you mean?

Mm. I tend to follow the idea that if if it's boring and constraining for me to play, think about what it'd be like to have to live through that shit. Leopards do change their spots.

I think the notion is that if you want the character to change, then inflict some life-changing stuff on the character. Ask for help from others if that would make more sense.

This.

Aria's had enough epiphanies to fill a freighter. The fact that at least two thirds of them were horribly wrong-headed just makes it more fun.

Also, I would not be wanting to spend any period of time with my character. While she's presently trying to get back into the more pleasant parts of her spirituality, there's always the risk that she'll have an epiphany and change her mind. Considering her present physical capabilities, I'd rather not be standing nearby when that happens.

This will be my only reply on this so I won't seriously derail the tread's purpose. (Anymore.)

Thing is, BB is exactly where *he* wants to be. Technically where I want him too. However his chosen life is hard, getting harder. By choosing not to forgive anyone for anything they do that he considers to be unforgivable, he's cutting of a huge load of people. As far as this game is concerned, people do the things he considers unforgivable on a regular basis and they don't think any long-term consequences are warranted. HE disagrees, and so do I. But down that road lies serious loneliness, capsuleer-wise. Eventually there will be thousands of enemies and only a few people that might be friendly, bar those few who end in the 'neutral' ground in between, and he's not dealing with those either. Hell at this point there is a guy in his current corp that, IC-wise he despises, but I can't very well treat that guy like shit OOC, can I?

Anyhow, I'll elaborate on the "issue" at hand here if I ever get around to finishing the IC biography, given my interest levels this may never happen, but I'll bring the issue up for discussion then. Until then, carry on, and sorry for the slight derail o7

(And thanks for the replies, somewhat enlightening.)

Play Magic: The Gathering together for hours, and then conspire to radically alter the future for our own benefit.

I suspect I'd spent a good amount of that day convincing her not to kill me, or otherwise break any RL laws.

probably a fist fight
Food then drinks then sex. Afterwards, we'd go to a concert and discuss spiritual philosophy.

Reminds me of a thing I read, where it was a survey of people, asked the question about "If you met an exact double of yourself, would you prefer to fight or have sex with them?". Women tended to vote for sex, Men tended to vote for fighting. Something like, women tend to think "They'd know exactly what we like, it'd be awesome!", men tending to think "They'd know the rules, and we'd be evenly matched, it'd be awesome!". Or something. Was a bit weird.

Anyway, I don't know that myself and I would have much in common at all. Louella is, after all, a highly religious upper-class person, while I am neither of those. We might go shopping or some such, or go to teh beach, but I think we'd tend to confuse/annoy each other a bit.

Gotta admit, I'd be pretty damn shy around Kat. At least until the first pun hits...

Well, ummm, Lasa is basically me, minus the knife fighting so we would probably go dancing and talk about stuffs.

Having sex and having a fight isn't that different in many respects.
