Cool! Rad!

@Alzie

Yes. How's the FS game going? And GoB?

I don't think there is much call to try and revive it. And I'm currently in discussion stage for two other projects.

Do I not count as a call?

Well, perhaps with my zany manner of running games/playing, it might become active again, but if you're already launching two other missions, I shan't press the matter.

For the record, I was willing to shoulder any responsibilities not involving code, should you require any extra hands, but it sounds like you've already closed the book on DW, and, well, that is that, as they say.

I'm gonna miss the old place. It was a very nice game, as I may have mentioned before - and I am thankful to you for hosting us there.

Did somebody say Fading Suns?

Nope. It's all in your head.

Ah.

Well, then, I propose a Fading Suns game, or, perhaps, a FS-inspired Alternate Universe game, with black people in it.

It can have people of other races inside, but my proposal here is a setting where all the major nobles are black, and they exercise their dominion over a mix of White, Asian, and hispanic peoples.

While I would prefer that it not begin, or end, as a sex game, if only to prove that I would, in fact, like to remain true to the source material (to a certain degree, at least), one cannot deny that there are those who would find this concept appealing, in a certain sense.

Does this sound good? Would anyone like to play on it?

Here's a quick backstory I rustled up in five seconds:

In the early days of humanity, the small kingdoms of Africa merged into one super-state that then took control of the entire Earth, eventually pressing into space.

<Insert Fading Suns storyline here, except with an Afrocentric bent>

Today, in the world of the Fading Suns, Emperor Musa XXXXVI, many-times-descended son of Mansa Musa of Mali, rules over a fractured, rotting-from-within space empire. The stars are going out.

In this setting, black people have psychic powers due to the concentration of melanin in their skin, which, in this universe, acts rather like the Midichlorians of Force Users in SW.

On the outer edges of space, smaller monarchies attempt to eat away at the control of the African Dominion - the Greater Orion Reich, comprised mostly of white people, the Eastern Prosperity Union, comprised mostly of Asian people, and the Castle Federation, comprised of Hispanic people.

It's been a while. Is it still up?

Did she delete my character? I'm gonna has a sad if she did. It was a very nice character.

You're talking about Wild Card, that I inherited from @Chime-- that was the Fate based Anitaverse game. It got closed down because things happened RL and I couldn't really get things going. I didn't delete any of the characters, but well...

The lights are on, but nobody's home.

Well, I'll make good on my promise from many moons ago. Let's spice up the old place again, shall we? With your charter, of course - if you'd rather let the game fade away, I won't go against your wishes.

FWIW, it was a very nice game. I did not leave because I wanted to, but because I, like you, ran into some problems in real life.

@Thenomain

We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness?

I'll go check it out, thanks.

Incidentally, are there any games you would like to recommend to me? Playing anything recently, or have you also been taking a holiday from MU*ing?

Africa.

EDIT:

Or, really, anywhere that has a large population of black people, for a change. I'm sure we can all name scores of games set in a majority-white population, or, in some cases, a majority-Asian population, but I daresay you'd be hard-pressed to name me a game set in a world, locale, or nation where there are more black people than anything else.

The Caribbean would be nice.

EDIT2:

It occurred to me that a game set in the Middle East would be fun, as well. I've got a brilliant idea, actually!

Hellsing had Vampire Nazis; I propose a Middle Eastern-setting game, wherein Vampire and Werewolf Terrorists - a sort of supernatural ISIS, if you will - are cutting a bloody swath across Zanzibar Land, a fictional state bordering Syria and Iraq.

Did somebody say Fading Suns?

@Thenomain said:

There may be another.

Two apathetic coders and Tributary.

A winning combination,

Is it still called Dark Water, or does it have a new, dynamic name?

I thought it was DW, but now I'm not sure anymore.

If DW died, I shall feel responsible, because I said I'd help.

I leave WORA for five seconds and everything falls apart...

@WTFE

Responding with rubbish does little to erase your flub. You fucked up.

Does it bother you that much to admit failure to a black person? Interesting.

@WTFE

No, we can talk about Chinese discrimination towards black persons right now, actually.

Far from seeming erudite and clever, you are merely exuding a sick stench of fear and terror, in the face of my crushing victory.

You must be sorely regretting ever trying to pretend Chinese racism is "a black thing", sir. If you keep backpedaling, you will trip.

@WTFE said:

Please, for the love of God

Admit your failure.

You have been forced to admit my conclusion regarding Chinese hostility towards my people; flailing won't help.

Learn to deal with failure. This is serious business; playing the troll card does nothing to me.
I do not have ADHD. You won't divert my attention.

@WTFE said:

Sorry, your diversionary tactic has failed.
Chinese hostility towards black people; you were forced to admit it is real, and virulent. It is not a "black thing"; it is a Problem.

Stay on target.

"We're too close!"

Stay on target.

@WTFE said:

Because "the Chinese trail of racism" is such an exonerating statement. And you wonder why anybody sane thinks you're just a troll.

And you have been forced to concede the field in favor of my overriding point that your little Eastern friends do, in fact, harbor hostility towards my people.

Fucking riots and everything.

You yourself are less than pleasant and cordial towards black people; "a black thing"? Seriously? I begin to understand why you think Chinese racism towards black people is a cool and acceptable bean.

@WTFE

This sounds like an exoneration of China, until you recall that the USA formerly enslaved black people, and had the nice little KKK organization running rampant.

Of course China treats black people marginally better than the USA. They also did not enslave black people. I am not lulled into a false sense of security about this.

The crumbs the Chinese throw to us fail to impress me.

If the business you mention of black people impregnating Chinese nationals continues, however, I forecast a Chinese nationalist organization arising in the near future, expressly formed to combat this sort of thing.

Miscegenation, or, irrational fear of it drives people to insane lengths; protecting that pure blood above all can cause some serious damage. It was not for nothing that black men were once lynched for even so much as glancing at white females.

I will be impressed when China hires a black General of the People's Army, or a black Premier. Then you can say they're progressing.

That being said, Blacks used to be the lowest of the low in foreigner terms here. Now they're barely below whites. Ten years ago it was almost impossible for a black English teacher to get a job in any private school, for example; only the state-run schools would even look at them. Nowadays a white guy with tatoos would be rejected over a black candidate. In the early 2000s there were riots in Nanjing over black guys dating Chinese girls. Now it's almost, but not quite, chic to be seen going out with black guys.

You realize this is unacceptable, right? This behavior on their part is totally unacceptable. You are making my case for me.

So the Chinese are currently slightly more racist to blacks than they are to whites. But … American blacks I know here stay in China (many of them for longer than I've been here, which is scary) because they're treated with more respect here than in the USA.

They're just staying because of the sideways vagina(or cock). Some black people are ignorant enough to accept bad treatment in return for crumbs off Master's table.

@HelloRaptor

Listen, brosap, you seem to have confused a thing, here.

I'm not provoking people on a Gaming forum.

I was attempting - before you verbally savaged me - to probe the latent hostility East Asians (Chinese included) display towards Afro-Americans.

You feel my discussion of the executed woman fails to make headway? Fine. Shall we talk about Latasha Harlins instead? She was gunned down in 1992 by a Korean woman.

I spend a lot of time on Expat forums; places where people who have emigrated to foreign locales meet. I have noticed that black people who travel to East Asian nations tend to complain bitterly about their treatment by the natives.

Originally, I was also speaking generally on how all the world is uniquely horrible to black people, but you decided to Do A Thing and ignore my salient point, instead.

@TNP

How dare people post things, On The Internet, no less?!

There ought to be a law passed that prohibits people from using the Internet, or something.

@The-Tree-of-Woe

It was a matter of time before someone mentioned him, given the circumstances; figured I might as well bite that particular bullet.

@Thenomain

O captain, my captain, I have lost control of my own thread.

I accept full responsibility; I allowed it to happen. I am as culpable as anyone else ITT. I apologize.

This is aimed at no one in particular, nor is it confined to this one corner of the Internet: I see it crop up in news website comment sections and MLP websites like fimfiction.net.

It's passé to call black people niggers on the Internet. It's something out-of-touch elderly folks, and 11-year-olds who just discovered the magic word do.

What you do is...when someone begins a post with "I am black and X, Y, Z,", you call them a troll.

You can also throw in a "fuck you" for good measure; never pass up an opportunity to talk shit to people of different races than yourself on the Internet.
