ooc: to coin an expression from our AWOL leader...
Mars, you are getting on my nerves again. It is not your job to enforce law and order against everyone. Especially when said 'anyone' has done nothing wrong and is doing considerably better than you have. Nothing annoys me in this RPG more than people telling new members things that aren't correct.
Slig 5719 was
right to post his profile here and in the RPG thread, which is a rule, and always has been a rule, even though you chose to ignore it yourself.
His character is clearly well thought out, unusual or not. Better to have a fairly average guy than a big bunch of vykkers lab mutants or whatever. Plus the complexity of his character already shows that he actually has some hope. His character is well thoguht out, other than a certain native I could name walking heavily armed into an industrial facility and asking for a job for no readily apparent reason.
Mars, don't try an uphold any rules until you're certain that you understand yourself, cus otherwise you just make people angry.
Gretin, thanks for being such a calm, slow-to-anger guy, and putting up with me all these years
Everyone, if you're going to criticise someone, first walk a mile in Gretin's shoes. Then give him his shoes back.
And 5719, sorry for your slightly disparaging arrival; I really hope this RPG can live up to some of your expectations. I recommend you move you
Dripik, I know you are unlawfully busy with university, coursework, presentations and a whole bunch of other stuff, but we need you!!!

Anni heard the snoozer thing talk, with a slight look of panic blooming in her eyes. Jim, also picking up on the implications of the robot's message, caught her look. "Don't do anything stupid," He muttered under his breath.
"Um," Anni said, ignoring Ralph, "I just remembered, someone-ought-to-go-and-make-sure-that-robot-knows-where-its-going-I-better-check-it's-ok!" Then she legged it after the snoozer, unknowingly shooting past Mars hidden in his shadow (sorry), and pelted down the corridor after the robot.
She caught up with the robot just as it was surveying the sligs gathered outside of the boss's office, "Um, hey! Wait!" She hissed, hoping the sligs wouldn't hear her, "Listen, um, those paramites down there! I mean, the boss already knows about them, and he's tried to get rid of them before but it hasn't really worked so in the end he's left them alone! So you know, if you go and tell him about them now, you'll just be telling him something he already knows, and it'll just make him annoyed, which you don't want to do, do you! 'Cus then he'll be stressed and angry and stuff and he might say you should be taken to be scrapped or something!" She way laying it on a bit thick here, but Somi and her friends were down there, and she didn't want them getting hurt.

Back in the production lines, Jim heard the yell of the slig above and flinched. Just what he needed, more trouble! He started edging towards the door, hoping to go unnoticed.
