Gentlemen and lady, I would like to say a few words.... (Heh! A "few" words.....riiiight.... )

(1) I think we are running around in circles having Vanguard dominate every fight, and always win. And, while the amount of creativity has been at an all-time high, I am simply becoming bored with one fight after another. I doubt I am in the minority here. If a threat is introduced in one post, don't come along and tie it up the very next post, using your own character as the 'hero'. That's just bad form, and done too often, can become ridiculous. Allow our 'heroes' to be injured, or defeated. It doesn't take anything away from the character to get his/her ass kicked every-so-often, you know. I've made it a career with my characters (except Turkish, of course). Just an opinion.

(2) As I started it with one, small joke, I have decided that I have the authority to say this: No. More. Shit. No more. None. This story has had more feces than any human has a right to endure, and, by gob, the joke's dead. Please, no more shit.

(3) Is this story to lead into the "Lost" serial? If so, I ask for the last (or, as I think Gooz might have requested it), the next to last post in the story to set up for the next one. Any problems?

(4) Let's shake this thing up. Let's free our minds from this 'Lord of the Army of Darkness'-click that we've all fallen into. This is a brand new dimension, full of wonder and fresh ideals. Let's play, and not run down the normal paths that we are so used to.

(5) I would ask that everyone try something for me. When you post, take a shot at this concept (I've already spoken to Phil about this idea) : Pick a Vanguardian that is not your own character, and write him/her in a post. Make it fun. Keep it real. And, delve into your own personal take on the character you choose. The next post you write, write it about your character. Then, the next post, choose a different character from the one you chose last time. I think this will go a long way in helping us to understand each others characters, and will cut down on the personally-centric posts that usually alienate everyone except the person writing it. Just an idea.

(6) Euro, your little midget pervert is dead. That guy just creeps me out. Do you have "Lucky Charms" cereal over there? He reminds me of an Italian Leprachaun (sp?). I'm going to kill him.....

Other than that, I think this has been one of the more fun, creative stories we've done. So, get out there and show me something.
