    That is my point, dear GB. It is that Raistlin would be put in pain by paying. Knowing that he has to pay would lighten the burden from everyone else by commonalities.
    Ah and now it starts to come out. "Pay an extra buck for x reason." "No wait, no more this, for y reason." "All Avalanche members are CKs for z reason." Animal Farm much?

    No, we never called for a meeting to figure out who among us are more equal than others. We are not the pigs, nor are we the Benjamins. I suggest you actually try reading Animal Farm first before you try to propose that we fit perfectly into the allegory.

    I never said that making Raistlin pay be the reason for paying. It is merely a consolation prize. He would still have to pay no matter what. And here I thought I was the one with bad reading comprehension? C'mon GB, you make it too easy sometimes.

    Everyone is 'invicible', however, some are more 'invicible' than others.

    Seems like you trying to justify yourself to me. I've read Animal Farm, you don't match that specific part of the story, but you match the rest. Get the smurf out bitch.

    Nope, that was me reminding everyone about the fact that it would be Raistlin.

    So what do we match, then? The part where Boxer can't even learn more than four letters at a time, like the unfortunate people who you oppress, and can not learn? The part where Benjamin freaks out when Boxer is sent to the gluehouse? Like when you invaded GHF for all of the wrong reasons and condemned people to death? We were the ones who freaked out, and could do nothing, and yet you did not listen. The part where the pigs decided that they were the ones on top, just like Shinra has placed itself? The part where the animals could not tell the difference between the humans and the pigs? Nay, GB, you are the ones who are the pigs, arguing amongst yourselves, the tastes of fine wine and decadence at the expense of the people.

    Please don't tell me to get out. Please tell yourself to go back to school, learn yourself even a passing familiarity of the English language, and some literary comprehension. Please learn some rhetoric, or persuasion. Learn something, anything. Learn math, or learn science. Then get back to me when you even carry a conversation in any one single subject of your choice besides that of the heaping pile of fail you have resigned yourself to. I implore you to leave the cave and to stop staring at the shadows on the wall.

    The pigs always claimed they where doing the work of the farm, while making excuses on why their rules should be followed. 'Remind' all you want. The people know what you're really trying.

    And this is what it comes to. Insult me all you want. I've taken worse

    So you're saying that we are the pigs that say our rules should be followed? TUH has mentioned that the southern forums were protected by their efforts, so that their rules should arbitrarily be enforced.

    I do not know what TUH has, and has not said. As of now, I stand for, and run for, myself and my perception of the Shinra ideals.

    Then you have turned yourself into Del's marionette by not knowing what else your "allies" have said. Do be aware that the cut-throat grab of power will result in sadness and despair. No new world can you create with the Power of Kings.

    This is something that cannot be accomplished with the current machine.
    I understand your sentiments entirely. I felt the same way once. But realistically, there is no hope of changing the system without becoming part of the system. I understand the distasteful nature of that, but it is reality. And surely you can see that the malleable, open-minded, rational Avalanche is more suited to effecting change than the fascistic, entrenched Shinra? I think we can all recognize that Avalanche is not a perfect party and does not have a perfect platform, but the fundamental difference is that Avalanche can change and adapt, whereas Shinra cannot. I implore you, join us - we shall make Avalanche the party which the people deserve, and we shall take them to victory!
    My dear friend, I am teh only one changing the system. My mere presence made EB say that he may even put me on teh Ballot, even though the rules clearly set up a two party system.

    I am the only one with the Power to change the system, or at least the only one who will use such power.

    Support the Third Party, and I garuntee the system will change more and more. Supporting the Machine created by the system will do nothing.
