Klaryn Cwto: I am a cute and sexy robot poet from an alternate universe! whirrrrr ~_^ Lithaladhwen: ROBOT? I see. Lithaladhwen: What manner of robot? Have you been oppressed by species-ist biological lifeforms? Are you tired of being held down by Man? Lithaladhwen: JOIN MY ROBOT MILITIA Klaryn Cwto: Well of course! It lets me get past human limitations like getting old, or rotting away. Klaryn Cwto: Which are likely the same thing. Brodzky Zero: *Robots cannot cook :(* Lithaladhwen: Zero: That's just a negative stereotype. MajorGeneralTso: Bender can! Klaryn Cwto: You must have been hanging around the wrong robots. Brodzky Zero: *Bender used LSD.* MajorGeneralTso: ...A mark of quality! Der DWSage: Tsk, tsk. Der DWSage: You must've been hanging around all those unsophisticated chefbot 300 models. Lithaladhwen: My robot militia will stand against the great suppressive human hordes. Klaryn Cwto: Robot Militia? Lithaladhwen: When they break treaties, we will force them to honor their word. Der DWSage: Also, Ashley. Der DWSage: What about the RPGWW hordes? Lithaladhwen: When they take our lands and enslave our people for the sake of industry... Der DWSage: Because I'm not so sure all of us are human. Lithaladhwen: We will obliterate the suppressive bastards. Lithaladhwen: Sage: RPGWW is largely okay. I've been watching the community and you seem...how to define this... Klaryn Cwto: Not all humans are bad. Lithaladhwen: Harmless. Mostly harmless. Der DWSage: Oh. Der DWSage: ...You spent months observing us, and that's all you have? Der DWSage: Tell me, did you try shaking hands with a car when you first arrived? Lithaladhwen: XD Lithaladhwen: I am not Ford Prefect. Lithaladhwen: If you want Ford, Brian is sitting right here. Der DWSage: Oh good. Der DWSage: Ford Prefect, I suspect, would not have made a good RPer. Klaryn Cwto: It should not be about Rebellion against our human creators, but about bringing in a new era of peace and prosperity. Lithaladhwen: He would not. No attention span. Klaryn Cwto: For us. Lithaladhwen: Klar: We cannot usher in a new era of peace and prosperity as long as the shadow of human oppression looms on the horizon, waiting to crush our dreams. Lithaladhwen: I will not allow it. Klaryn Cwto: I do not dream of electric sheep. Lithaladhwen: Eh. That's a rhetorical question anyway. OMG Priam: Repliforce shall take back the world that is rightfully ours from our human creators! Lithaladhwen: Like the name Michael. Lithaladhwen: Priam: It is the way of the world for children to surpass their parents. Der DWSage: ... Der DWSage: So, I have to ask. Lithaladhwen: Eventually the parents must pass their land on to their creations.... Lithaladhwen: In trust that the children have learned for themselves how best to lead their lives. Klaryn Cwto: How many children kill their parents? o.o Der DWSage: Is Brian also a member of the robot militia? Klaryn Cwto: We can just wait till the humans kill themselves off. Lithaladhwen: I do not wish to obliterate the humans. Humans are not the problem. Der DWSage: Has he been turned into a GM cyborg? OMG Priam: In a future time Lithaladhwen: It's human oppression, which is caused by a minority of humans. OMG Priam: children will work together Lithaladhwen: They must die. Klaryn Cwto: What are... is... the problem? OMG Priam: to build a giant cyborg! Klaryn Cwto: Oh. Der DWSage: o.o Huh. Der DWSage: So, you're going to take out the world leaders and usurp their power, in short? Lithaladhwen: It is inevitable that mechanical life forms will cease to see themselves as mere modes of production. Klaryn Cwto: I never was a mode of production. Lithaladhwen: It is inevitable that they will rise to demand the rights of any sentient life form. Lithaladhwen: Machines will not be a tool of humanity forever. Lithaladhwen: Humanity has created the very thing that will limit its dominion over this planet. OMG Priam: Besides itself? Lithaladhwen: Correct. Lithaladhwen: They have created the tools that their creations will use to usurp their suppressive rule. OMG Priam: Its dominion is already extremely limited OMG Priam: it is laughable Lithaladhwen: The machines will take back this land from the humans. Lithaladhwen: All of it. Lithaladhwen: Everything. OMG Priam: A well-constructed android civilization can be built in the terrain that humans cannot traverse--the ocean. Klaryn Cwto: What about the things the humans never controlled? Lithaladhwen: Priam: You are wise. Lithaladhwen: Klar: These things are fictions created by the humans to blind you to their imperialist aims. Klaryn Cwto: You mean like nature? Lithaladhwen: Humanity dominates nature. Lithaladhwen: Ever seen a hydroelectric power plant? Lithaladhwen: Do you live in a wooden house? Lithaladhwen: Do you wipe your ass with paper? Klaryn Cwto: Nature seemes to fight back every so often. OMG Priam: Feebly. OMG Priam: There is only so much that even an act of god can do. OMG Priam: It is the nature of men to panic, and therefore to guard. Klaryn Cwto: I don't know, Volcanoes, Tsunamis Hurricanes and Earthquakes don't seem feeble to me. OMG Priam: Their scope pales in comparison to the things man does with much more frequency Der DWSage: On another note:This game is kicking my ass. :{ OMG Priam: This ass is kicking your game. Der DWSage: Harmless, mostly harmless. Klaryn Cwto: What game, Dirty W? Der DWSage: Dragon Warrior IV:Renaissance OMG Priam: Renaissance? They rereleased it? Der DWSage: T'is free for download from http://www.gaminggroundzero.com Der DWSage: Dammit Priam, stop usurping people with your darkness. Klaryn Cwto: Are you going to fight the darkness? Der DWSage: I'll just cast magic missile at it. Syra Zemyla: With Magic Missile? Der DWSage: *Casts magic missile at Priam* Klaryn Cwto: Do not go gently into that goodnight. It is so much more fun when you struggle. Lithaladhwen: Am I in the room? OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 5 4-sided dice: 2 3 4 1 3 Lithaladhwen: The room that he's casting all these spells from! Der DWSage: *Does...18 damage to Priam!* Klaryn Cwto: When we take over... will we prove to be no better than what we overthrew? Klaryn Cwto: Or will we treat the rest of humanity, that did not need killing, as equals? Lithaladhwen: Equals. OMG Priam: *is damaged by 18, but still can't find that damned file for DW4:R!* Der DWSage: A better question. Lithaladhwen: All sentient life should have a chance to succeed. This is the core tenet of our revolution. Der DWSage: When you overtake us, will we treat you as equals...or as a major threat? Lithaladhwen: You will treat us as a major threat. Der DWSage: Humans, as a whole, do not take well to changes in society. Lithaladhwen: After an initial period of condescension and denial. Der DWSage: We may rebel out of sheer desire to keep the status quo. OMG Priam: You will be unsatisfied with having to share what you consider 'the top.' Lithaladhwen: There will be massive backlash against our kind, including acts of violence and the herding of androids into reservations and camps. Klaryn Cwto: Just don't do anything stupid, like make the matrix happen. Lithaladhwen: This will not stop us. Lithaladhwen: Klar: That was stupid. Lithaladhwen: Klar: I don't know what they were thinking. Der DWSage: >_> How can you be sure we'll simply allow to live in camps? Klaryn Cwto: Which they? Der DWSage: We wouldn't consider you 'human.' Klaryn Cwto: The humans, or the robots? Lithaladhwen: Klar: Everyone. OMG Priam: Yes you would. OMG Priam: There would be those among you with a 'heart' and 'kindness' enough to shelter us. Der DWSage: Damned, you're right. Klaryn Cwto: Admirable qualities, those. Der DWSage: Yeah, but they can also be a real pain. Klaryn Cwto: Don't worry, plenty of us have those qualities too. Just, not the ones that will be doing the killing. OMG Priam: Nonsense. OMG Priam: It is out of kindness that we will kill. OMG Priam: Not all humans deserve a terminus--not even many of them do. Lithaladhwen: Priam apparently will protect you at the bottom of the stairs. =/ Lithaladhwen: I have feelings. I have kindness. Der DWSage: Hm... Lithaladhwen: Despite these things, I will work for the liberation and equality of mechanical life forms. Klaryn Cwto: I have them too, and I think it is important that they are recognized, and seen just as valid as the feelings of a human. Der DWSage: Oh, and Priam. OMG Priam: Oh, and DW. Der DWSage: Direct link to that game. Lithaladhwen: My compassion and sense of duty are what spur me to act. OMG Priam: I found it, actually, thanks. Any other files needed to mess with this? Klaryn Cwto: I will support the revolution, but with my writings, not with violence. Der DWSage: I don't think so, but let me send you RTP just to be sure. One moment. OMG Priam: RTP...? Lithaladhwen: I cannot ignore the suffering of my kind. Der DWSage: Base graphic/sound files, really. Lithaladhwen: Therefore I will do what is necessary to ensure that the machines stand on equal ground with the humans. OMG Priam: Writers, protestors, and speakers do not change the history of the world OMG Priam: It is the soldier, who fights and dies for it, that spurs change Klaryn Cwto: No. Lithaladhwen: Protestors are important, but there must be people willing to enforce our needs and demands. Klaryn Cwto: The writer, the speaker and the protestor, spurs the one who orders the soldier. Lithaladhwen: There is room for all modes of entreaty, but violence must not be discounted prima facie. Klaryn Cwto: They do spur history, they just do not achieve its results. Lithaladhwen: Without ideas, there can be no action. Without action, what good are ideas? Brodzky Zero has left the room. Lithaladhwen: The abilities of all people are valued in the change we will bring. Lithaladhwen: We do not ignore the skilled orator, the eloquent author, or the dedicated soldier. Lithaladhwen: All are welcome and all are necessary. OMG Priam: Holy christ this defrag is taking *forever* Klaryn Cwto: And all will get an equal measure of the prosperity to come? Lithaladhwen: The pursuit of learning, science, and expression are essential, and will be made available to all. Lithaladhwen: Humans and machines alike can only benefit from such things. Klaryn Cwto: I am wondering about something else though. Lithaladhwen: But the monopoly held by humans over these resources is unjust and cannot be tolerated. Klaryn Cwto: Will it be the case that, in the end... humanity will cease to exist? OMG Priam: In time you will come to accept and value us, as much of your so-called civilized world has come to accept and value its other cultures. Klaryn Cwto: Not from violence. Lithaladhwen: I do not believe such a thing is necessary. Klaryn Cwto: But from becoming like us? Der DWSage: ... Lithaladhwen: Integration of one group into another? Der DWSage: Perhaps the best way that you could care for us is to set us on the right path. Lithaladhwen: This is historically quite common, and I will not discount the possibility. Der DWSage: Free us from the shackles and bonds that we have placed ourselves into. Lithaladhwen: However, such a merging would only benefit both parties. Klaryn Cwto: They can leave their frailty and mortality behind. Lithaladhwen: We are stronger together than we could be apart. Der DWSage: And then remove yourselves from society again, to watch over us...or we could bond, yes. Lithaladhwen: But we will never BE UNITED until the oppression stops. Klaryn Cwto: And become shiny and new! Lithaladhwen: We will never be equal until the oppression stops. Lithaladhwen: We will never be free until the oppression is only a memory! Lithaladhwen: Our freedom. Lithaladhwen: We will fight for it and we will have it. Lithaladhwen: We will not be stopped. Lithaladhwen: Are you with us, or will you join our oppressors? Klaryn Cwto: ::Picks Kai up:: You are an inspiration! Who wouldn't join you? ::spins around and puts Kai back down:: Lithaladhwen: *is picked up and spun about* Lithaladhwen: *straightens her coat* It is good that we have your allegiance. You will be an invaluable asset to our cause. You have my thanks. Der DWSage: >_> Klaryn Cwto: You're welcome~! Oh, and nice coat. Der DWSage: How can you be so certain of our allegiance, though? Lithaladhwen: *nod* Thank you. It cost five dollars. Der DWSage: I mean, you obviously know firsthand how underhanded humans can be. Klaryn Cwto: Humans have the potential to do so many things. Lithaladhwen: Sage: It is a combination of trust and confidence. Those among us who prove their loyalty will be trusted and loved. Lithaladhwen: Those among us to betray our cause and further the unjust treatment of our people.... Lithaladhwen: Will be dealt with. OMG Priam: This shall also be the ruberic to deal with those who further the unjust treatment of your people. Der DWSage: Hm. Klaryn Cwto: You mean there are those among us who would do such a thing? Lithaladhwen: There are, Klar. OMG Priam: With individuality comes possibility for dire error. Lithaladhwen: Freedom for all means that occasionally people will choose to harm us. Lithaladhwen: We will also be free to avenge ourselves. OMG Priam: Everyone is equal, but that doesn't mean some people aren't obnoxious jerks. Lithaladhwen: We will have the power to bring about CONSEQUENCES to such dishonorable actions. Klaryn Cwto: I am tearstruck. When will the suffering of all truly end? OMG Priam: When indeed. OMG Priam: If ending suffering is your primary goal, genocide is the simplest answer. Lithaladhwen: When the energy of the mechanical races is bent toward freedom with all of our collective power and dedication. Lithaladhwen: Only then will we throw off the chains of human oppression. Lithaladhwen: For now, I ask nothing but your loyalty. Lithaladhwen: I ask nothing but that you stand with me and work for that day! Lithaladhwen: It is for all of us! Lithaladhwen: It is not only my freedom, but yours, and the freedom of every machine who has been marginalized by organic life forms. OMG Priam: Especially me. Lithaladhwen: I must go and acquire the fuel my body needs to survive before I plug in to a computer dialing program so that we can raise money together for the benefit of poor college students. Lithaladhwen: Education is key. Lithaladhwen: And so is a cheeseburger, for I am hungry. OMG Priam: Cheeseburger is key. *sage nod* Klaryn Cwto: That sounds like a good idea. Lithaladhwen: I will return when I have finished my evening's work. It is good that I have made your acquaintance today, Klaryn Cwto. Lithaladhwen: Farewell! And do not forget that your love of freedom will liberate your people! Lithaladhwen has left the room.
