- I am no longer allowed to play a christian priest mage with his own "church" as a contact that tries to convert everything to be a christian
- I am also no longer allowed to ask everyone if he know jesus and then try to kill him because he doesn't (prejudiced outspoken"non-christians") - I am also not allowed anymore to play a christain priest with the delusion "religion: christianity", just to win ANY argument about Jesus because they can't prove my character wrong by the rules of the negative quality |

4970: If my group doesn't get the hint "Jesus is watching you" when astrally perceiving in a Catholic Church, I'm to not hold back anything any longer. Jesus is back and man is He pissed!

But to most people the songs, cars and style are immediately recognizable, that is why everyone is making a big deal about it. Think about it like this, you not being clueless about them would be like your runner not recognizing Grim Aurora or whatever established mega-hit group is popular at your table. So I'm not "most people." Point is, you're stereotyping. Just like every other gun-totin' American. (I live in the US, I can say that). |

I'd have slapped a few more stereotypes in there, but couldn't think of any. The "every American has a gun" is one a friend of mine who lives in Germany keeps tossing at me. |

How your culture is depicted in cinema is how people will perceive you. (Anyhow, didn't you actually ride your horse to school once?).I've had the various types of US Cultures explained to me when I was young and stupid, and have had to explain the differences between different types of Canadians as well. (And, no, we don't drink Maple Syrup.). The hardest part is that the idea of "Prince Rupert's Land" that the Hudson's Bay Company and the Great North-West Company both put into propaganda still holds sway today. *Sighs* Honestly, about the only place I think I can safely travel without too many stereotypes is Holland. No, not quite true, they just have different stereotypes. 4971: I am not allowed to mix moonshine and maple syrup to see how it tastes, no matter how good an idea that seems. 4971a: Unless I want to get really, really drunk for a really, really good reason. |

That one I joke about with friends I've had for decades. Thing is, they are responsible firearms owners. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Wait... We don't? Now I feel like a paranoid man with my "Home defense" Never feel that you're paranoid about defending your home. Anyone that breaks into your home without announcing themselves deserves whatever they get.As long as you are not sporting a Moat with Alligators in it, a Keep with Crennelations, and Several Ballista, you are okay... ...... ... Are Muzzle-Loading Cannon OK? |

Also, is it bad that I would rather arm myself with a traditional longbow as opposed to a gun? It's not just Americans. When I went over seas they heard my accent in France and someone actually asked if I rode a horse to school. Didn't you? Wait... We don't? Now I feel like a paranoid man with my "Home defense" I thought we did... As long as you are not sporting a Moat with Alligators in it, a Keep with Crennelations, and Several Ballista, you are okay... Ah, my moat is filled with Garpike. I'm safe then, right? 4971b: Everclear and maple syrup, however, is okay. |

Been considering one of those for keeping when I live in an apartment.Most places dislike guns, but crossbows don't tend to penetrate walls well and aren't nearly as loud. |

Shotgun's better. Chainsaws are bad. Too heavy, and batteries/gasoline is better used in other items. A Dual-Use Melee Weapon that can crack open skulls is better. Sharpened crowbar (For opening doors/crates) or a wrecking axe (An ax with a crowbar-like back) are excellent. I'm swearing by my entrenching tool, however, as it's German Steel and has a pick-ax on the back designed for penetrating a skull that's protected by an old steel helmet.Or chainsaws. Dual-Use items are very effective as they limit the need to carry multiple items. |

Ever played left for dead 2? Chainsaws aren't refuelable in that game for a reason.
But yeah, RL zombie infestations are best dealt with by readily weaponizable tools, guns, and vehicles. And going where the exposed human body does not survive well. Like canada. |
