That'd be the latter. As I've stated before, I have no intention of following your every whim, particularly if they involve mass arson. I do support your general motivations, however.
We could argue the semantics all fucking day but let's get to the point: I'm going to use whatever pathetic resources this trash heap makes available to me, and I'll do so as I see fit. I'll find out who's good at what, and make them do it. I won't set pacifists to commit murder or anything like that, because they'll fuck it up. I can do the dirty work myself. Don't worry your little head over that.
But for this to work, we need one person in charge, and that will be me.
AUGH I typed up this ridiculously long response and it looks like LJ ate it T_TshoukanjutsuMay 15 2010, 03:35:32 UTC
. . . You understand you'd have little chance of success alone? Or even if I agreed to assist you. Our discussion on the matter aside, I doubt the gods of the island would have any qualms about feeding you false memories if you began to antagonize them -- Perhaps they'd simply wipe you again. An undertaking of this kind requires the cooperation of a large number of people, and even then, there's no telling the attitude they'll adopt. But there's safety in numbers. And pardon, but it's unlikely you'll get those numbers.
You understand what I'm driving at. It's a pleasure bantering with you in my spare time, but I keep my business separate from my leisure, and I expect you to do the same. Frankly, you'll get better results if you can keep your, ah, resources happy. Curse and swear about how imbecilic we are in private, but grit your teeth and attempt to show some semblance of respect in public.
That's my only condition. Not altogether unreasonable, no?
LJ is being such a bitch today T_TrawrsoangryMay 15 2010, 03:44:18 UTC
Let me lay this out for you: I can and will do this by myself if I have to, Klarth F. Lester. Is it easier with more people to manipulate? Probably. Is it worth the fucking headache? Remains to be seen. I don't really care whether the stupid island wipes my brain again. Sitting around doing nothing about it isn't helping anything either.
I'm not going to pretend to be fucking personable just to soothe everybody's ~*precious feelings*~. Why should I lie? Besides, not all of you are that stupid to believe it in the first place. No, this is serious business, and I'll take it seriously. Everybody else better do the same, or there's no point to it.
On the other hand, there's no point wasting a tool just for the sake of it. I'm a bastard, not stupid.
I'm not even getting notifs I guess. T_TshoukanjutsuMay 15 2010, 04:04:10 UTC
. . . That's a long-winded way to hedge on an answer. Simple question. Will you or will you not behave with some measure of civility? I'm not expecting smiles and rainbows and daffodils sprouting from your head here.
HAHA KLARTH HOW DID YOU KNOWWWWWrawrsoangryMay 15 2010, 21:10:27 UTC
Oh, fuck off and make yourself useful. I want a compiled report of anything anybody's been able to find out about this shithole -- find out themselves, not shit we've been told. Too hard for you to manage?

Apart from the diary entries, you mean. I'll warn you in advance -- There isn't much. I'll make a copy of the map that Ginko made of the mountains before he vanished. There should be some data concerning the coastlines from Vash as well.
Doesn't matter how much or how little, I want all of it. Leave it at the bakery for me. The girl will know where to put it. Are those the only two self-made maps we have?

That depends. Will you be running a democracy or an autocracy?

And I've done this before.

Very well, then. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as to what your idea of downright fucking benevolent is.
