A long time ago I was in an RPG were I played Gourry. Durring that same time Zel was in an RPG where he played Zelgadiss. At about the same time both of those RPG's died...a tale not so uncommon. Disgusted that the RPG's were both became inactive and died after running for an unusual amout of time for an RPG life. We decided that we should have our own slayers RPG. After all, at least we would have Gourry and Zelgadiss. If members could not be found, we would start the RPG with Gourry and Zelgadiss however odd that would be. And so it began... First things first, we made the group and fitted it with colours and a charming picture. Then we went about the horrable pain staking task of searching for and inviting members. We started by looking for a Lina and as we went we got a group together and going. But...going was slow and eventually it was a fight and a kissing of @ss to get members posting and to stick to the loose unenforced rules. In the end I took all I could take and I could takes no more....I nuked the group without a word one late night and decided to start over. We sat about a week bitching and going on about how to improve the new group. We decided on a few things. The first and #1 priority would be rules. They would have to be set hard and enforced without the kissing of @ss. This new group would be tyrantical group of hard strict rules, followed or else. Second there couldnt be cute cuddly phycho kitties in the group, with their "I'm cute, crazy lovable and everyone should like me cuz I'm not like everyone else. I'm punk, goth, an artist, I write stories and comics and am already all grown up but when once I'm out of school I'm gonna make comics and anime and video games. I'm the biggest otaku in the world because I saw one episode of an anime on the compy and read 1 whole manga out of the 30 it consists of. I just love inu yasha and clamp *cuddles inu yashu plushy*. I know more than anyone about anything and i'm dirty perverted but cute and innocent. everything is flowers and kitties" attitudes.
We then created the second group...the slayers SS. I sat for a few hours on yahoo trying to think of a great name that would match with the slayers universe, sound good, and not be already taken. After trying a name that either couldn't be used or was already taken I tryed to type in yet another idea but I messed up while typing "slayers" and I came out with "slayersss" two extra S's too many. This automaticly brought 2 things to mind. The first was "heh, ss...waffen ss of world war II" the second was "ss? sounds familiar...Hmmmm oh, yeah, sailor moon ss and a few of those other anime are ss" then the wheels started cranking "A gestapo nazi rule filled RPG and a common anime theme...I like that...an anime theme with a bit of hidden humor" And so I made a space and used the typo I made as the groups name. As the group started I quickly took to the humor in which the group had started by using German frequently in the group and trying to have a humorous tone to different aspects of the group and incorporating the penguins seen in the "try" series of slayers because of their millitary theme.
I took three years of German durring my last three years in highschool and forgot only a small bit since. Alot of what I learned durring the final year was the history of Germany, it's political structure, and culture. History (mainly wars) and folklore are two of my many interests. |
