this ought to answer your questions

Any place where we can see forms, powers that WILL NOT be OK'd(I'm figuring Deadpool level healing powers outside of being Deadpool are pretty strict ;)), etc? I'd love to get my RP on.

There is a major differing of opinion on that matter, dear Micheal.

Quiet, you 😛

[The Muffin man]

Apology accepted. We can disagree without being disagreeable.

The hell we can, I'LL CUT YOU FOR THAT, MATTHEWS!!

😉

[The Muffin man]

And I care about this because? Just ban me and be done with it.

See, the difference between you and me(because I know that's why you're being a dick) is that I can interact with the other users without being a jerk like this. Especially the mods.

You DO need to cut the attitude.

The musclegirls should be the "Powerhouse" characters. Generally slow-moving tankish characters, whereas our own characters could fill in the gaps for blasts, buffing/debuffing, speed, etc.

Muffin Man, you're backing yourself into a corner. My only suggestion is to stop replacing tact with honesty

You know what? You're right.

Dave, I apologize for my outburst. No matter how harshly I disagree, it wasn't right of me to blow up on you like that.

Please accept my sincerest apology. I STILL think you're wrong 😉 But I was also wrong in that I tore into you so fiercly.

[The Muffin man]

C'mon, Muffin, you can do better than "whiner". How about "crybaby" or "bed-wetter"?

I'm also amused by the concept that false persecution isn't something to get upset about. Guess if someone's not the victim of it themselves it's not worthy of their notice.

If someones not a victim they have no right to whine.

As long as we're talking about "false persecution", though…

No, I didn't see the episode. I wasn't commenting about the episode. I was commenting about the episode recap posted at the show's website. (Which I quoted accurately and in context.) Nowhere did I question the truth or falsity of the statements intended to relate Margaret's actions (what she said to the cab driver, tearing up the envelope, etc.). But along with those descriptions, there were statements made by the writer of the recap that I felt (and still feel) were gratuitous insults made toward religious beliefs that are sincerely held by millions of people who don't act like screaming harpies and thus don't deserve to have their beliefs ridiculed in this fashion. If my criticism of these statements rises to the level of "persecution" in your book, well, I'd love to know what you think the difference between "criticism" and "persecution" is.

So you admit you're making a bullshit statement based on a sight without having all the facts?

(I can understand why someone would believe that I'm off-base in describing the comments in the recap as anti-Christian, and I'm willing to listen to a logical and well-reasoned rebuttal. And I'll stipulate that Margaret is a psycho, and a hypocrite as well for taking the money after all.)

Because you ARE off-base.

The only point of my original post was to express my concern that DeeAnn was putting herself in a position where unfair and gratuitous insults might (and I stress might) be made about her physique, because Hollywood and TV types hold the same antipathy (with very few exceptions) toward muscular women that they hold against Christians.

See? Here's this false persecution bullshit. Christians are not being unfairly treated. Look around. Look at every president we've ever had. No go read polls about how much of a chance people think an athiest or jewish president have.

You don't seem to be able to disagree with someone without impugning their character in some way.

When someone openly says that don't know what they're talking about, they don't deserve to be respected.

If Dave said "Man this site is rather harsh. Was she really that bad?" I'd be more than happy to discuss it. But nope. He jumped right in and acted like it was because she was christian. The fact she's a psycho can't have anything to do with it. It's because she was christian.

[The Muffin man]

I was just browsing the Trading Spaces site, and I'm uneasy about how this show is going to treat DeeAnn, if how the show writes about Christians is any indication.

Granted, Margaret is probably an extreme example of the fundamentalist Bible-thumper type, but statements like the following in the episode recap are (I feel) gratuituous and unwarranted.

"In Massachusetts, Margaret is praying to God to save her from reason." (This after Margaret "is still freaking out about coming within 100 yards of a psychic." Psychics are representative of reason??)

Well when you act like someone just told you that they have a deadly air-born disease around them, I think they're SLIGHTLY more reasonable than you.

"Margaret tells Jeanne that Chris forced dark-sided stuff on her, then tells her to give herself over to the Bible. Particularly the early books, when God smites people, we can only assume."

"And in Louisiana, Margaret announces to a cab driver that she's never met before that she's happy to be back home, in God's country. Apparently God loves creating stifling heat and bizarre insects. When she arrives home, Margaret finally stops biting her tongue about her religion and goes absolutely insane in the name of the Lord. As she rants and raves, nearly speaking in tongues, her children look like the Disciples when they were visited by the Holy Spirit. Terrified and confused and hoping they don't end up dead."

Did you watch the show? That's exactly how it happened.

The reason I bring this up is: Given that DeeAnn's level of muscularity would be considered "massive" by Hollywood and TV types, I'm worried that the first outburst she has over the other family's kids (or whatever) will be attributed to "'roid rage", and will harp on that at every opportunity. Maybe not on the program, but certainly in the online recap.

Jesus, in one short post you've become one of the biggest whiners about being falsely persecuted.

You know what was gratuitous and unwarranted? That lady lying to the other woman about how terrible her family was, or harping on about being a "God Warrior" and not wanting the tainted money…until she found out she was getting what SHE wanted, and suddenly she wasn't too good to give up the money.

Unwarrented was that psycho.

[The Muffin man]

the bottom one is also morphed, look at the door behind her leg and you can see the door distort the same as her leg…

But again, it's a very slight curve. You can barely tell.

That's gotta account for somethin 😛 If not massive, this girls at least big.

[The Muffin man]

This games supposed to be twice as long as KH1.

So far, we've got like 2 worlds more than the last one. So unless the Pride Lands and Tron are ridiculously long, we're getting a BUNCH more new levels.
