I do not believe every member of the CS is evil or racist. Most of them are just misguided and misinformed.

I think they need to be educated. Then they can be judged good or bad.

I did meet someone who thought the president was a squirrel. But no fantasy "geek". EVAR.

At least LARPers get out once in a while.

Trust me, LARPers arn't bad. The only thing that makes them bad is the "pretentious" attitudes of "True Gamers" who seem to think the only way to RP is their way.

Yeah, I've LARPed, and can tell you they are a lot more social than "true gamers". Ranks right up there with "True Gamers" who believe the best class is a rogue scholar and seem to feel supiror to someone who enjoys playing a cosmo-knight. you know, the "L337" gamers vs the "Powergamers".

On the other hand, outside the LARP game, they are rather normal people. At least as normal as any "true gamer". Course, dislike for someone who likes the "Goth" or "prep" or "Hip-hop" because they never could get over their highschool years of steriotyping, guess all those years being called a "nerd" or "Geek" did some perminent damage and feel a need to continually classify people in areas long after everyone else has given up and moved on.

Hey, Robert, you should totally try to hook me up with that Prentious goth girl in your group.

Goth is just a way to make ugly people more interesting. Though some of the ladies do look rather nice in some of the outfits... :D

Most of my players have either back stories that set them at odds with the CS in general (My first character was ambushed, captured and experimented on by the research division in an attempt to make an unstoppable cyborg soldier. After he went AWOL and returned for his family, he saw them executed for "aiding his escape".), or they have been associated with those people and fired upon. Thus, any CS unit encountered that either fires upon us or is engaged in some morally corrupt activity (i.e. torching an innocent d-bee village) becomes fair game for the pack.

LARPers get out? too funny man. The only places they go out is to do they're LARPing at. Come on, those little boys n girls never actually graduated highschool. Most opted for a GED and still live with their parents :lol: :lol:

As for the Goth thing, I dont mind that, just another fashion statement. Until they put on finger armor...thats more queer then Richard Simins in a pink tutu. :shock:

More social huh? Yah, thats why if you arent a LARPer they thing they are better then us "poor" non-LARPing folk. They walk around and in their finger armor, black trench coats and fake vampire teeth and flash different hand signs and feel superior to the rest of us. They are only "social" with themselves. They live their entire pathetic lives in "The Game" and never care to "bother" themselves with the rest of us.

Oh and about me being "pretenious" for calling myself a True Gamer...yah I suppose I am. I take pride in actually having a life out side of the game, not living with my parents and actually have an education. I'm also proud of the fact that table top gamers were First. :) Its thanks to us that those who have fallen to the Dark Side of gaming (snicker couldnt resist) even HAVE a game to LARP. Thats why those types have to be called that. To classify them as being something other then the first gamers, the table top True Gamers. Accept no subsitute.

And you know what? Even after having said all that, I'm STILL less pretentious then ANY LARPer I've ever met.

Oh yah, almost forgot...

IF and thats a might BIG IF I were to ever meet a LARPer who wasnt a @$$ hole, I would revise my opinion of that particular LARPer upwards. I would have to meet MANY that were decent before I raised my opinion of the type in general.

So far I have had the missfortune to meet a few dozen of them and granted they all lived in LV so perhaps ones in other states MIGHT be better but I doubt it.

Look, we're all gamers whether Tabletop LARP Miniature. Sure there's never going to be a unified gamer culture but I say we've all got our place at Gen Con or any other gaming con, we should try to get along despite our differences in Roleplaying preference.


Hmm, forgot about the miniatures people...

You are correct though and for the sake of peace on the boards(please try not to laugh) I will post no further on that subject.

While we're on the typic of steriotyping, isn't that the BASIC idea of what any RPer is? Well, except that Tabletopers have graduated, but still live with their parents and it is still a game for little "boys and girls".

As for the Goth thing, I dont mind that, just another fashion statement. Until they put on finger armor...thats more queer then Richard Simins in a pink tutu. :shock:


And there is something wrong with being queer?

All larpers I've ever known (and I've larped quite a bit) are both table top and LARPers. Alot of the LARPing your comparing it to is the WW, which isn't bad, but there are lots of other types of LARPers, which, go beyond "black trenches and vampire teeth". D&D one's are fun. Run around, hit each other with padded weapons and then break for dinner. They get out, they get sun and they get...exercise! GASP!

Oh and about me being "pretenious" for calling myself a True Gamer...yah I suppose I am.

And you know what? Even after having said all that, I'm STILL less pretentious then ANY LARPer I've ever met.


I've known probably a few hundred Larpers...and you're as pretentious as any D&D player denouncing the evils of Palladium, which is as bad as any LARPer or "l337" gamer. In otherwords, Just because some are worse doesn't mean it's ok to be one.

I'm no LARPer but to me it's really no different than tabletop Roleplaying. LARPer's are just a little more dramatic about how they roleplay. I agree to me it seems a little too much, but ultimately it's just another form of roleplaying and I'm not about to run them down for doing it just because it doesn't appeal to me


Your words are wise beyond your years.

Yeah well in My experience they tend to look down on NON-LARPer's and they are MAJOR (CENSORED)...


Larpers, like MOST humans, tend to get defensive if you look down on them. If you say "All Y people are X", then you haven't given any other person who could change your mind a chance. I wouldn't work to change your mind, it's your loss. Everytime you meet someone, if you denounce them for something as minor as what game they play (Palladium, white wolf, D&D, even if they LARP) your missing out on a big part of the person AND chances are they will think you a jerk and probably say and do things that will only work to justify what you feel since you've already judged them anyways. Hell, if someone tells me they don't like me cause of X...i'll do all I can to make sure they have a reason for felling that.

You play table top RPG's. And in the eyes of anyone who doesn't play table-top RPG's your just as bad as any LARPer.

Don't take what I say personally, I just get defensive about people who have this Elite Attitude. "I do X so I'm better than Y". As that song goes..."You might think that your XXXX don't stink, but I can tell you now it still smells like...poo poo pooo..."

You know while we are on the subject of nerds, I always wondered who isn't a nerd anymore? The guys who play video games are called nerds, the guys who use computers are called nerds, the guys who play tabletop or minitaiture or any other type of rpg are called nerds. The guys who wear glasses, the fat, skinny, pimple faced, sqeaky voiced, and the list goes on and on. The guys who play sports and work on cars seem to be the only group left I can think of that aren't called nerds. So who else is there that isn't a nerd?

Probably the same reason people dress a whole lot of different ways. Some actually like the way it makes them look. You may not think so, but then, they arn't trying to impress you. They dress cause that's what they are comfortable in. So, I guess, it's just that's the way they prefer to dress, which to me is just as much an "actual" reason as anyone who wears old navy or gap clothing.

So while you march in your pride and arrogance coalition, you also march with pride, that you care not for your own, and only for your fear and politics! Down with the Coalition! Down with the Proseks! Down with the Coalition! Down with the Proseks! Down with the Coalition! Down with the Proseks!
just because your gm plays the Coalition as demon like doesn't mean the coalition are, but thats normally the main leaders but i bet if the high command find out about it that entire unit would be arrested and shoot for the crimes or a black op unit would be sent out to "clean up the mess".

I forget what book it was in, but I remember it stated that Karl and Joseph really do care about the people in their nation. But that's about it.

Actually, it was in juicer uprisings and Colition war campaign. They had a problem condeming the people of their nation to a quick death of the juicer process, but not the scum of the burbs.

So, yes, proseks do care about the people of their country. As for all of humanity...well...

Hey, It's better to be burb scum than it is to actually live out in the wilderness. That should tell you something.

That Why in My game I have a hand full of Pre-Rifts reappearing so that Tech-using humans have a place to go.


I literally don't understand half of what you are saying here, but the part that I do understand i have to disagree with. Prosek stance on human supremacy and antimagic/psionics has nothing to do with what he thinks is right. It has to so with how he thinks he can control the populace and gain more power for himself.

If Chi town had been attacked by high tech bandits instead of the Federation of Magic, and Chi towns magic users were the ones that saved it from distruction; Prosek would be leading a magical powerhouse in N.A. He would be saying things like "Mans faith in technology is what has brought all of these troubles. We need to embrace our past, and use our inherent magic and psionic abilities. Kill all tech users!" It is all only a means to an end for him.

I will grant you that most of the CS population probably thinks Carl only has thier best interest at heart, and that is exactly what he wants.

The CS is the only real hope that humanity has in NA no other nation can provide the safety that the CS does.
Not Lazlo, not New Lazlo, not any nation where shifters and other demon worshippers can gain political power and force their will on an unsuspecting populace.

Except that the CS doesn't defend humanity. The CS defends the Prosek family; and anything that threatens the Prosek family or the way it views that things should be done is crushed utterly, including it's own citizens.

All the talk about saving humanity from the clutches of evil and magic and demons . . . how convenient to have such ready-made scapegoats for aggression and absolute societal control . . . especially when the Prosek's benefit from it so much . . .

But they do care for humanity, they protect, nourish it and allow it to grow.
Just like any would be GOD.

Simply because they are evil doesnt preclude love of others.
And for them to survive humanity must survive, in othe words symbiosis.

Most of the people in the CS are good people, ignorant, bigoted, and hateful people. Now it's not their fault, we all have the Proseks and High Command to blame.

That's a load of hooey. Everyone, man, woman, and child is responsible for their own actions and attitudes. The people probably will come around and see that what has been happening is wrong, eventually. Before that will happen, something will have to wake the populace up to it. Either K. Prosek will go nuts and start declaring more and more things evil, limiting freedoms and activity to the point that it DIRECTLY impacts the "innocent" masses and drive them to take action, or the CS will be defeated by another power that will strip away the tapestry of a utopia that has been woven around the CS.

The CS is useful. For the time being they protect the human race on NA and drive back creatures from the Rifts. In the end, the CS must fall or go through a major shift in views. Else the portion of humanity preserved is only the most vile memory of what we once were.

Most of my characters steer clear, but I have no qualms about defending myself, or whoever I might be next to, with lethal force. I've played a few characters who sided with the CS. After all, it is ROLE-playing.

Alright again, the cs are one of the main bad guys of the game. period. They keep their society ignorant, lie to them, and spread untrue propaganda towards enemies of prosek and his regime. You want a good example read in rifts canada or coalition war machine about what they planned to do to free quebec. Because free quebec wouldn't bend to prosek they became a target. Read in rifts main book how the cs's own people aren't taught to read and write. You know why? Because if they were taught to read they might figure out how bad of a leader they have and how untrue most of his speeches conscerning magic and d-bees are. They might find out how there really was no need to attack tolkein in the first place.

Do not listen to this Coalition scum. He would rather be an apologist then rather admit the truth. The truth is, these type of actions are a undeniable proof that they are not to be trusted even by thier fellow human. The atrocites are a result of the lies and evil that the coalition go by to brainwash the poor fearfull populatin that surrounds them. Also they recruit criminals into thier ranks! Criminals! If the Coalition ever succeeds in thier endevours, which they wont, thier atrocities won't stop! Emporer Prosek and his son will do everything in thier power to keep just that! Once the Demons and Magic beings are gone, He will turn agiainst his own species even more! I assure you good people of Lazlo and all good hearted people. They are no savoirs of humanity!
yes believe the the fool from Lazlo and kool-aid he provides
