I wouldn't even stand in front facing them. But in relation to the others Villiers is just a good old boy, never meaning no harm, making his way the only way he knows how, but that's just a little bit more than the law will allow. Lofwyr? He's just highly competent with a sideorder of evil.

Paraphrasing it would just do it injustice:

I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

Maybe a little more reading and a little less premature posting would have cleared all this up.

@whap Brahm

It's funny that you managed to include the dukes of hazard lyrics into it. But it also earned an @whap from me. ;-)

As for Lofwyr, he's a dragon, of course he eats people when they displease him. But he really isn't out to destroy everything. Now Horrors on the other hand, and those who collude with them... I still view the Azzies as one of the worse, though Mitsuhama is also one I place up there.

Villiers just really, really wants to run a company. Why is Mitsuhama up there? I always saw them as relatively nondescript. All the other companies have something special; Renraku made Deus, Fuchi was Fuchi, Novatech was the same, Aztechnology has evil, Cross has the Seraphim, SK has Lofwyr, Ares has Knight Errant, Yamatetsu has metahumanity. What's so special about Mitsuhama? Yakuza? Big fucking deal.

Merely misunderstood heroic protectors of tresspasser law and landowner rights.

EDIT While keeping that balanced with preservation of historic employer mandated finger-removal traditions.

You should remove "Cross has the Seraphim" then, or at least change the tense. ;)

That is a merger of Novatech, Transsys Neuronet, and Erika that appears to be primarily controlled by Richard Villers who, along with family members, had owned most of Novatech. Richard Villers has a long and colourful background in SR history. Among other things he smoothly slid himself into a key role in the history of the Matrix, not unlike a blonde-haired southern stud would slide through the window hole into an orange 1969 Dodge Charger.

--braces for another thrashing from PBTHHHHT--

He incidentally is also the only bigname offical NPC any of my characters ever met. He seemed like a nice guy, although my PC never did get around to trying to collect on that small favour Villers owed for that gunfight he delegated to us. :)

Bram... no, I won't thrash you this time myself, instead I decided to outsource the thrashing like any good corper would do. I've hired Major Payne to do the dirty work on ya. Enjoy! :biggrin:

yeah, bubba the love troll was busy so I had to settle for Major Payne instead *grumble*

Why I say Mitsuhama? Weren't they one of the big corp backers over in Tsimshian? That and their zero zones and such. I rank them as a high evil in going against and for causing havoc compared to other corp (second to Azzies).

If it is still around its only a AA but it pioneered the techniques that make the big boys as powerfull as they are. Except for the blood magic they are more evil today than Aztechnology is in 2070 and it is possible that Disney is doing blood magic.

Aye, I agree with ya on Villiers, very great character without the need for magic and such.

As for Horizon? Where's the evidence of bugs? And why the fear of them? They're hear to bring us all together, striving for an ideal place where everyone can belong, you can be a member and not feel alone. Yes, the bugs are not a danger, one is a danger to themselves and only through enlightenment and understanding can you achieve the path of acceptance and inner peace. So please stop by the Horizon webpage and take a moment to sign up for your initial assessment test where we can help evaluate where you are on your path to a better you. :wink:

edit: the cracks at disney makes me think of that one episode from the Venture Brothers...

Knight-Errant No Horizon is one of Three Things One of the Main Pashions From The 4th world is reexpressing It's Self Its That other Buried Threat form the past The Black Lodge!
