OOC [OOC] Cirrus Station Discussion

Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

It might not work 100% of the time, but it DOES have the best bang for your buck of the galaxy. That still means something, right?
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

I think I have the perfect slogan for Freespacer doctors,

Come visit Dr.Dream; %20 of the time, her medicine works every time!
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Her medicine works every time! (but has the effect you want 20% of the time!)
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Oh, you're all mean. She DID save Fian's live back on the Bannings when the guy got hit by a SMG burst. It's true she had to use disgusting, questionable-looking and probably toxic slugs to fill the bullet holes, but... hey! he didn't die!
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Or did he? I haven't seen Fian around since then... jk :mrgreen:
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

*smirks*

Btw, Della, I want to take a moment and say what an absolutely amazing job you're doing with Dream. You're hitting facets of Freespacer mentality that I haven't even considered, especially with the rank thing.
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

o_o Really, it's no big deal... it's just a matter of "They're clearly not ready for complete freedom. But they're a democracy, and they're heading in the right way."
Dream, being a 'Spacer (and a type three and a druidess) has an intense dislike for any kind of authority. But it's still an authority emanating from a democratic nation. Wrong, but not evil.
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

I would say the Neppies don't have the 'freedom' that 'Spacer have because we don't get to pulpify/kill off the unproductive people.
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Well, that's more of a necessity they have because of their living on starships without support from planets, I don't see how it can be related to their society.
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Well off the wiki page for 'Spacers:


I took this as being able to remove undesirables as a choice. Cause Nepleslian's would be called 'barbaric' if they did that. And I do understand that it is to preserve the scarce resources.

But I was just saying that since they automatically remove those that would harm the whole society it seems like that is one reason their freedom 'works'.
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Um, they don't grind dissenters or people who disagree with stuff or protesters. When they can't reincarnate everyone, they chose the ones that, if reincarnated, would bring the greatest advantage possible to the Free State.

Nepleslia has the death penalty and it's not considered "barbaric"
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Well, I didn't mean people like that. I meant people that would act selfishly/deprive other of resources for his own needs/hoard scarce resources while not providing any benefit to the ship he/she is aboard.

But oh well, guess I just don't understand 'Spacers too well at all.
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

I'm sure that there are cases of people getting thrown into the grinders, but from what Jes tells me, it's not common occurrence.

I'm sure that if someone would start being a jackass and NEVER STOPPED the Free State would vote him into the recycler, however.

Now that I think about it, it's a lot like Big Brother (the TV show) in space. Only that if you get voted off, you get thrown into a meatgrinder.

Now THAT's a show I'd watch.

WHOO! Same here!
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Only if the prize they're competing for is being thrown into the meatgrinder last. I hate to see even one of those societal rejects coming out ahead.

Yes it could be the prize. To 'get out' of the place. Like that 'Gone With The Blastwave.'
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Judging from your reactions, it seems like the American edition of Big Brother sucked about as much as the Italian edition did.
