So do I interpret you as indicating it's dipshit, instead of plagiarism, or do I correctly intuit I'm being referred to as a dipshit, knowing context?

RE: Ensign Sue... the comic
On a broader note, Curt Schilling may play on the Boston Red Sox, but he's a New York Yankees fan, he brought the entire team down by focusing on his own career, just like Larry Bird bringing Rick Pitino's numbers down and dooming the team in favor of a better merchandising margin from Boston fans because Larry Bird looks really ugly (people assume it's Irish culture, we're just drunk constantly underage).

Stanley Kubrick, invert the meaning of the book to cause the symptoms suffered by the main character that the book seeks to invert. All you do, is change the definition of the title, to the condition that changes in the climax, which is the hook in any Stanley Kubrick adaptation.

The Office? I'll take that on, too. You know this one by now, you've been talking to me.You have to write yourself, as the mocked villain, to eliminate Jim, who is the guy that is toxic to what you judge to be the culture. You write Dwight Schrute, as a pompous villain with interviews, and you have Dwight Schrute, make every violation, you want Jim to make, and you expand it, to opposites of each person, the way they actually are, in such a way that it will offend them. Jim, me, has to be you, with your off-screen love interest, flirting.
The documentary style, makes the viewer, Jim, want to be Dwight Schrute, the person who made the show, instead of Jim, who he hates, not realizing that it's him.
Dwight Schrute has just destroyed every Jim, whoever that poor soul was (Dwight Schrute).

You want the DC Comics cast, eh. I can give you five of them.Batman: this guy takes down Tong and Triads (the children of teachers and professors, and overseas students involved in banking and contract guilds, manipulating failed teachers - guidance counselors - and college professors that can't teach - the lunch hall guy, Tobias Funke - not Dr. Leo, I have trained him to be Amos Fortune, and under my personal tutelage, he is now Le Chiffre, baccarat master.). He takes a villain from any work of fiction, to play pranks on the Triads and Tong, with a single Bat-Gadget, an insight from Henri Ducard on how to pick one hero (I have Ultra Magnus, he can't open the Matrix of Leadership because he doesn't have women's fingernails, that was an insight from a pre-op transgender - that one is alias rosters, J. Edgar Hoover). Joker is a teacher's son, except in The Dark Knight, when the comic book writer is Joker, the Batman Reality Tour (from the Seinfeld Kramer Reality Tour), and the teacher's son is Bruce Wayne, for many tricks.
Superman: this guy has a single business strategy, from each founder of an academic form.
Green Arrow: a Scoutmaster's son, with each counter-fascist strategy ever employed, such as decals (NASCAR and F-1, no more sabotage circuits inside racing, no more European Fascist intelligentsia, corporate sponsership demands clean racing so parents aren't worried by fatalities, stockcars used to be mechanics and racing, with the drivers stealing strategies and then assassinating each other - Otto Skorzeny actually put you on trial for stealing a mechanical strategy, after sabotaging your trick to kill you on exhibition so only he'd have it.)
Hawkman: comes up with a rare academic form based on his family's culture, always a first generation child of an immigrant. Could be Cleveland to Boston, could be Nigeria to France. The friendly professor.
Green Lantern: someone that claims they were abducted by aliens whenever they're caught chasing down someone they dislike because they commit a petty crime most people ignore, knowing that all cops believe in weird things in the woods. The standard move is to set up a downfall, then play into it, an altar boy trick.
None of these are Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus in writing, since part of the character in each, is that you never play the central strategy up, you always pick some force as opposing you. Each one, offends Ensign Sue, because Ensign Sue focuses on the actual appearance of the character in cited media, not the gag behind the character. Ensign Sue, is a rote-learner, that's someone who relies on memory, they don't know theory, which is what you're taught to produce around the 6th/7th grade, from rote, which prior education teaches you.

RE: Ensign Sue... the comic
I use a strategy for the ultimate Mary-Sue/Gary Stu, Jimmy Bond.
I call it "cat alley".
I have three layers of strategy:
I take a Bond villain, applying the singular character in some form they used a strategy in the movie they were in (besides the original Casino Royale, where Jimmy Bond is from, played by Woody Allen, Sir James Bond 007's nephew that was rejected from espionage for being vertically challenged in a knight spy's family). Then, I arrange the strategy to be used on a Cat, Felix Leiter, to place them in a customized Batman villain, and then I release them, as an extension of my presence.
The second strategy is the Le Chiffre, to create Orson Welles at the baccarat table, a cop steering wheel to mark an entire group of people as SMERSH, whomever associates with Le Chiffre, so everyone thinks they're Russian, but not in Russia during the Cold War. If I spot someone as a Superman villain (read: they think I'm a cultural reference, and I figure out what it is), I mirror the cultural reference at them, upgrading them to a Superman role with the villain's skillset. I then break contact, and let them be a dummy organization.
Finally, I have the BOX, an MI-5 term for a detainment unit. I create another Bond villain, by giving them the entire strategy, but modified just for them, without Le Chiffre or the BOX.
The ultimate Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu system, two joint boards, same shape, interlocking into a tunnel, for cats to crawl through. Like in the Do the Evolution video by Pearl Jam, with the babies coming out of the factory, and being marked with infrared scan bands on their foreheads, the kind from a retail outlet.
Note, I do this RL.

RE: MaybeMUSH: Superhero Sexting I mean Stuff
A good 1990's game, with both the attitudes of the indie comic days after the laserprinter was introduced to the color and the early phase of MUSH where you didn't have to follow rigid protocol related to social relations of characters.

I think it's the idea of being capable of battling with another titan, and holding the entire city of collateral, that makes me think of law.

~/o Something to Sell ~/o
Well my 007 concept isn't successful, so I've got a number of broad theme-types and attached subliminal topic matters. Any of you want to see any of these?

Exo-Squad: Economic hitman.
Spy Hunter: Domestic intelligence.
Command and Conquer: Integer manipulation agents.
Spider-Man: German Evangelist thieving guilds.
Siphon Filter: Organizational spoors.
Metal Gear: Patronage.
Wolfenstein: Inversion of pressure agents.
Populous: Book of Judas.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Comic book creation.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors: Computer programming.
King of the Monsters: Lawyers.
Joe and Mac: Creative writing.
Double Dragon: Military discipline.
Legend of the Mystical Ninja: Revenge.
Super Punch Out: Political analysis. -

License to Kill MUSH
The world is a dangerous place. Luckily, you're a spy.
Some of the harshest truths are learned on the field of battle, and some of the greatest lessons are learned from a lover. One man can change the world, with a little bit of luck. But there's no such thing as luck. Something is always going wrong, somewhere, and that's where you come in.
License to Kill MUSH is set in the Bond universe, in modern times, as an analog of the real life world. Plots are based on real life events, suggested by players and run with the assistance of staff. Each and every 007 franchise organization, heroic, neutral, and villainous, is represented here, plus any you may suggest, with room for your own feature characters you add, or special thoughts of your own, original characters and expansions to the world.
Our MUSH is based on world building, with a flexible combat system based on experience points, a non-combat skill and gadget system, an intelligence management system reliant on OOC performance in scenes as determined by players to allow additions to the world, plus game master code that also allows anyone participating to post bounties on the heads of other players.
License to Kill MUSH is in beta, with the rudimentary grid (prior to player addition) and the system complete, ready for bug testing and your early contributions to the world of 2020.

RE: Diversity Representation in MU*ing
I once wrote the Mexican Mafia/Latino Cartel mast rigging game (it's a system of cultural interaction for police, military, mercenaries, criminals, and professional labor - we'd call it blue collar - in Latin areas) as Gilligan, from Gilligan's Island, as a reference to Treasure Island, a book about privateers and pirates, a common mast rigging game classic use to teach children how mutual and fair interactions work.
It was not well received.

RE: Pro Wrestling MU?
I have a combat system I'd be willing to provide, with a set of 9 slots for levels 1-10, building in AP earnings in an upwards scale for purchase cost, with powerups that are earned from high damage exchanges, and perform a particular function per powerup. Each powerup pairs to a skill with an increased effect, and the skills match left-right, plus a bonus system where the difference between attack and dodge, always positive, offers a bonus to counterattack.
You could make it so each of the nine skills is a particular type of target area, with a powerup out of 9 move classes, pairing to the target area. Beyond that, it has a custom attack name function, similar to MCM's old combat system (however obviously more complex).

Exploration of American Culture
I'm working on an alternative to the Marvel 1963+ server, which I see as an anti-racist view of American culture from the perspective of the ideal. This is a pragmatist's view of business management of American institution, the street culture that America operates by, from the pragmatic perspective.
I've couched it in Grand Theft Auto, with 10 cities (10 percent of the grid described, Newark and Salt Lake City), with 13 seed factions and subfactions formed by player action in code. The code is a new form, in an alpha stage, and I'm working on the theme files (I've got five factions, one city, in the theme file, I have to write policy files and command files, plus any type of theme relevant).
It's called Grand Theft Auto: Rockstar Wars, and functions from the level of the high level broker down to the common criminal, with many complaints addressed that I've had over the years to my concepts.
The factions are: Freemasons (Government - Security), Krysha (Democrats - Commerce), Yakuza (Republicans - Tradition), Mafiaso (Catholics - Immigrants), Triads (Maoists - Schools), Aryans (Bikers - Veterans), Cartel (Sandinistas - Privateers), Outfit (CIA - Mercenaries), Punjabis (Middle East - Mercantile), Yardies (Panthers - Information), Lunatics (Freelance - Diplomatic Immunity), Journalists (White Market - Fixed Commodity), Law Enforcement (Black Market, Fluctuating Commodity).
It's an open-play world, I'm primarily looking for plot staff, and if you want to get involved with grid description (there are ten cities, five cities per room, on a room roster grid accessable from login), I'd love it.
Just connect as a guest or create a character, my wizbit is Moriarty, talk to me or send me a @mail. (portent.genesismuds.com:2077).

RE: Covid-19 Gallows Humor
Ever have the theory that the hidden meaning in Twelve Monkeys is that Bruce Willis, the time traveler, is the carrier for the plague, i.e. the vaccine in him? That's why he's traveling to these different potential outbreak sites in space and time, before he meets the virologist that picks up the first contact with the virus?

RE: Wolfenstein MUSH?
I actually have a theme news file base for a Doom MUSH, but I vastly expanded upon it, making it more of a new rendition of Taisch's Armageddon MUSH.
I eventually decided that I had taken an intense FPS blast 'em up, and made it a slow, weird horror MUSH, and scrapped the idea.
