General Roleplaying?

[Hermit]

You know, I can't say I've ever Role Played a General as anything but an NPC, and even that was only briefly.

It might be an age bias, as generals often seem older than the usual character I'd want to play. Or maybe it's the connotation that they send others to do, rather than doing themselves.

Fascinating really, I may have to make one just so I can post on this forum.

Well, generally speaking, roleplaying a general generally causes many generalizations, in general. Generally, I like to play majors, not generals. In general though, majors can be major pains in the butts, and generally cause major destruction.

I have a Private Dilema or two.

[MisterVimes]

You are all deserving of Corporal punishment

[Edsel]

There is a colonel of truth in all your statements.

[Fuzzy Gnome]

Keep it on topic! We should be discussing major worldbuilding and private character concepts here! :p

[MisterVimes]

I find all of your thoughts admiral-ble

[Storn]

Boot camp already Ben? :)

[Jeff T.]

Ben seems to have a Major problem with this thread.

[archermoo]

Yes, but will he deal with it without resorting to Corporal punishment...

[JohnathanChance]

I think he just wants a little general mayhem:D

I played one of those once, but never a general. It was a Traveller (old-school, small books) campaign and all the players were major movers and shakers in the universe. Tons of large scale political maneuvering and jockeying for position. It was a nice change of pace - being able to send people off to die, rather than being the ones sent off to do the dying.

Ah... but will he commnd(er) us to stop making such a Private conversation so public and does he have the authority since he's merely a Seaman (seeman... seaman... get it... get it... navy joke):D

[MisterVimes]

Bump!

Seaman.... Seeman... Navy... get it

I give up:(

[Hermit]

Wonder if he's into WAV files...

[MisterVimes]

Thats just WAC... yo:D

[Kara Zor-El]

Sounds like you guys are building a brig over troubled waters. :rolleyes:

[MisterVimes]

We're just trying to walk arm(y) in arm(y) to find a peaceful solution.

Excel will have to marshal her tiny wit to top these jokes.

Just think, this whole thread wouldn't be possible if we were still using Commodores. :p

I know, I know. Not a very Admiral-able pun. :D

[Nato]

Ben just doesn't understand this board because he's a seeman, and sailors don't understand the rank system of the other military branches. Maybe you should instruct him in private. But really, he's just happy to have a home. Because, in lieu of tenants the building would be empty.

I think that was the funniest one yet.
I'll file some of my own jokes when I can come up with some that aren't too rank.

[Peregrine]

While there appears to be a Colonel of humor here, much of it fails to achieve Major effectiveness.

[wcw43921]

So no one is the Captain of this thread, eh?

That doesn't mean you have to get Petty about it, Officer.

[Peregrine]

OK, that's it. I'm taking out a Warrant, Officer.

Whoa Chief, that’s a little drastic isn't it? I thought this thread was for blowing off a little hot air, man!

Just representn' another service.
