SYM Factions
Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2002 9:58 pm
After spending a little time in SYM, I have noted that there are a few Factions vying for power in the posts. Ordinarily, I avoid factions like the bubonic plague (unless I'm playing Planescape: Torment, in which case the Sensates are really the only way to go. 
). I have, however, found myself in situations where I have inadvertently stepped into the line of fire.
To make matters worse, I like members from all of the factions. I fear that I'm eventually going to be forced to choose from amongst them, which is not something I wish to do.
Thus far, I have identified the following factions:
Mods I like them all, not because they wield so much power, but because they seem to do a really terrific job.
COMM - a mysterious faction that I know little to nothing about. I have noted that their leader, Weasel, hints at fermenting plots to seize control of everything. Is it so sinister, though? I really like some of the members of COMM alot, like Maharlika, who I've spent some posts reminiscing with.
SLURR - not so mysterious to me. My capacity for fun-loving is directly appealed to by the SLURRites. True, they can be a little wild, and they might do some things I wouldn't, but I can't help but like 'em anyway. Some of my favorite GB'ers are SLURRites.
Here is where I diverge from the realm of the obvious, into the dark alleys of conjecture. It's a perilous road to go down, to be sure.
The Females - I have noted an undercurrent flowing through some of the postal exchanges I have witnessed - particularly in that most entertaining thread, "Men are Like Bunnys" - that leads me to believe that some female GB'ers have actually formed a faction. It seems to me that they are mainly concerned with slicing and dicing the SLURRites, which they are apparently very good at, from what I've seen. They also seem to enjoy keeping slaves.
The Slaves - Well, these are the slaves of The Females. Some are aware of their condition, while others are not!!!
All that remains is this: will the members of the factions please step forward - with your best foot, if you please - and explain yourselves. Post your manifesto, if you wish. Why, you can even make a sales pitch, too, while you're at it.
