Full Version: how to solve 'bad' furry RPs
Discovery Gaming Community > The Community > Flood

i don't have a kusari RP, so i cant do it, but PLEASE! do this for me

i always see furry RPs out there. ill tell you. most of them are utter garbage. A true furry would not survive amongst humankind if they blatantly showed off their ughhhh, physique.

Mr. kibbles, my furry RP, doesn't RP being a furry. im a furry in hiding trying to live my life, away from all cryer folk when i can. hes a paranoid guy who continues to fear and avoid persecution.

anywho, there are plenty of blatant furries out there. here is the solution



get a kusari (dog/cat eater!) chef or slaughterer or whatever, and place a bounty to capture these furries in order to sell them as luxury foods. who said furries aren't tastey?

bounty collection needs evidence that the target is a furry (open transmission with cat ears, RP[Rubs furry tail*] or the equivalent)

discuss!

Do not confuse Japan with China, will you? Tell SCRA about that.

Umm. I really don't quite understand this "furry" thing . . .

Basically, there are people here who want to portray a character who is a half cat / half human type? ? ? . .

. . . Wow. this is kind of strange to me, even in Freelancer . .

All jokes aside from this, is this really an acceptable and viable RP for one to play in Discovery? ? ? . .

(I'm not going to be too judgmental on this until I hear from the cat people on this subject ) . . .

The coalition is russian/chinese, kusari is japanese.

Can I make a character that actively spreads the furry love?

He'd roll around Sirius spraying tar and feathers on people.

"Good" idea for bounty.Who likes space flyin cats and dogs at first place? Eating them is much better indeed... tasty tasty....

Unless it's against the rules, I don't think that anyone can tell them that it's not viable role play. That said, I'm not a fan of it. But I'm not a fan of a lot of other role play characters and stories that I read.

But you know what I do? I ignore them. However, your idea/solution sounds frackin' hilarious. If I ever hang out in Kusari (I never do) I might try that. Hmm... canned cat-thing.

Maybe the Chef can cut a deal with the Sirius Animal Control officer.....

So, RP that isn't conforming to your standards is bad?

Guess we all have to be concealed furries then.

In short: No.

"No" because it doesn't conform to your standard of RP?

I'm not sure it can be solved. The disgusting side of furry-dom pushed aside, what's left is open to far too much... nonsense. Especially in Freelancer, in which hybrid creatures are not the norm, nor was there any indication they could be. If it were one or two, sure. If they were sort of reclusive or were beat up often when they tried to get past it, sure. People get irked, one way or the other, either because they simply exist, or because they make even less sense once they do; they should hardly be accustomed to society, and in the event they were "converted" from normal people, I'd like to think they'd be too preoccupied with the "Holy Crap, what just happened" part. I've toyed with the idea of making such a character, but then I stop and wonder what's the point? What could he possibly do that would be of any long-standing interest? I already have a Freelancer, and he rocks so hard that I would never need another one. What's left?

"No" because trying to force people to conform to one's standard of RP is not possible/wrong.

Y'know, all the furry hate around here has made the decision for me. I'm going to make an entire furry faction simply to spite you folk, and there's nothing you can do about it. Enjoy.

Bastard, that was my idea at some point or another. I'm going to falsely claim intellectual copyright and sue you for five cents.

You know.




I remember when the first threads of these type popped up.

People did laugh a little at this, the few furries of disco did as well.

Now this? This is loosing it's amusement levels pretty fast and I don't have to tell you that this puts the new members in the wrong mindset.




Also. I don't give two ****s about what you think of furries. I am just amused that 99% don't even know what it means and go to google to find out.

Totally joining Tenacity's furry faction.
But seriously, please DO post this kind of bounty! Furry RP is sadly lacking. I've got 2 furry characters and I end up just RPing them as a basically normal Zoner and Liberty Rogue, because there's no one after me.

Who needs to be forced to think that furries are a bit off?

What Iraqi needs to be forced to think that america sucks?

What German needs to be forced to hate french people?

What KKK member needs to be forced to discriminate against black people?

It's all a point of view, crackpunch. Perspective is everything, just because you dont like how someone else is doing something doesnt give you the right to interfere.

I got into an entire debate over this with Nath (foofighter). I told him to quit harassing and discriminating against the 'furry' RP's going around disco and to just leave well enough alone. These RP's and their characters were not effecting him directly, he had absolutely no reason to pursue them with fire like he did, yet he kept on pursuing. Unfortunately it's people like him that have defined the human race for so long - burn what you fear, and cling to the meager things you love like they're actually important to anyone else but you. Unfortunately for defending the few players around here that wanted to try something different, I got kicked out of his faction for "sympathizing with the 'enemy'" and calling him out for his behavior.

I'll tell you the same thing I told him, consequences be damned: If it doesnt directly impact your character or your ability to enjoy this server, then leave it the hell alone. You have no more right to discriminate against these players than you do against a black person for being black, or a woman for being a woman, or even a lolwutter for being a lolwutter. If it doesnt effect you, dont get involved - and even if it does, find a way to handle it without ruining this place for the other player.

You won't know the difference between a human and an anthropomorphic character until you see something like *rubs paw* in-system chat.

You misunderstand what I meant. Sure people can RP furries (provided they do it well), but surely everyone would agree that furries flying spaceships is not the normal thing.

Where does it say that this is not the "normal" thing? Why do you think everyone would agree with you? Last time I checked, Earth revolved around the Sun... amirite?

-edit- I'm down with that faction idea btw.

Is posting threads about this topic enough to warrant a lock yet? I mean, its come up...hmm...6-7 times, each resulting in LOCK.
Some people can't get a hint.

Is disco set in the freelancer universe? Yes it is. How many furries do you see flying spaceships in freelancer? None. Therefore furries flying spaceships is not normal. I didn't say people couldn't RP as furries; it seems you also misunderstood me.

I think this can end now. Let's not start any flame wars here, I don't want to have to beat people over the head today.
