Being lulled into a false sense of superiority

on rps, new players, and tuna

• Rocket: I'm pretty okay with this situation. I don't feel like we need more people.
• Rocket: But then, I'm totally picky now.
• Indy: I want people already there to get more active.
• Rocket: Agreed.
• Jazz: Yeah. Slackers.
• Indy: But that's hypocritical since I'm not active there right now either.
• Indy: But if more people get more engaged we look more attractive to new members and we can actually maybe probably have some less incestuous RPing going on.
• Jazz: Hey, hey, Xion never laid a finger on Corky the whole time they were bunking together.
• Jazz: Okay, he tried to hug her a couple times, but she always pushed him away.
• Indy: I meant in the sense that we're all RPing within our group and never welcoming in fresh blood.
• Indy: So soon we'll have these bucktoothed threads that are terrible because we're mixing all the same genes together.
• Indy: But that's a bad simile, really.
• Indy: Maybe like vegetables. We're all like, tuna. We're great alone, but you can get bored if you eat too much of us.
• Indy: Add in onion and it's just so delicious and fresh and you feel enthusiastic about tuna again.
• Jazz: Think it'll be awhile til I'm sick of eating you, Inds.
• Jazz: Er...
• Rocket: This is the best analogy.
• Indy: When Jazz went to TUR he stopped being tuna and became onion.
• Indy: And the tuna sought him out.
• Indy: So really refreshment isn't limited to new people.
• Indy: I just really fucking love tuna and onion, guys.
• Jazz: See? I did everyone a favor by being a shifty, restless, disloyal prick.
• AND LATER...
• Indy: I think that tuna/onion analogy is the best I've thought of in a while.
• Jazz: I'm probably gonna have a nightmare about giant fish chasing me around the internet tonight.
• Jazz: While papery layers peel off of me or something
• Rocket: Good. Maybe you won't run and trigger our predatory tuna instincts.
• Jazz is a helpless little oniony rabbitfish.
• Rocket: I'm gonna wanna draw this.
• Indy: I meant more like canned tuna, not actual live tuna.
• Indy: And chopped onions.
• Indy: Diced.
• Jazz: I think I'd be more terrified of being chased by cans.
• Jazz: And I definitely don't want to be diced.
