Fandom High Weapons Poll

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

[OOC: ATTN: This is non-binding, non-official (although some official types thought it might not be a bad idea), and just to see what's actually what out there in the school. Vala's name is only on it because we needed a paid account (I'm so weak!) to post from.

(Remember: principalconnor rules this place with her Scary Iron Fist Of Doom, so what she ultimately says is what actually goes.)

Please answer IN CHARACTER (As a FH issue it's locked to FH members, sorry Townies!) ]

ETA: Question two, where it reads "magic users", it should read "people with magical/superpowers/mutantpowers/etc."

ETA2: Any mis-votes can be fixed by just "re-voting". It will only count your last answers.

ETA3: Anything I (aka_vala) posted in comments below with the "FH ate my life" icon are OOC, and my mistake in spacing the fact that comments are IC. My bad, please ignore. :(

But it is about feeling safe. That is the argument that the weapons people want to impress, right? That they want to feel safe and in charge of their own defense?

They're used to being in charge of their own defense, and thus feel stripped without it. As shown in the Zobmie attack, though, they're also about protecting any unarmed/non-aggressive students as well.

Not sure how having all this aggression, and please don't deny that there are many students and teachers who are agressive, and being armed can possibly make those of us who have no way to fight back feel any 'safer'.

No question there's agression, that's canon in most of these universes and not going to change. But -- aside from what I understood to be a misunderstanding over some flowers and like things -- when has that been seriously turned against other students?

Basically, the argument is that: In a place where zombies *do* attack, anyone in the "normal/peaceful/unarmed" category should be able to arm themselves and/or be glad to have a few fellow students around with the means to get their backs! :)

((sorry. was responding in character. and there was more to the misunderstanding that 'just flowers' but whatever. I'm done. I'm starting to get nasty emails now.))

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

((Nasty emails? WTF? That's just stupid. *sigh* And just when I thought we'd managed a mature discussion here. Sorry to hear about that. :( ))

((*g* it's okeys. I took the instructions of 'answer in character' to mean in the comments too and went with it.

It's probably best I just bow out of the debate anyway, even though it's been really fun! This is the first time Chihaya's been this chatty.))

[ooc - What?! I'm not even on your side IC and I thought you were the most calm and reasonable outta *anyone* in this debate! WTF?]

[miss-monochrome.livejournal.com]

[ooc - (which is not to say that less reasonable people deserve OOC hate, of course)]

[positive-angel.livejournal.com]

((ooc: *giggle* thanks. He's trying and so am I, considering his viewpoints on the gun issue and mine are a bit different. A nice stretch.

No one deserves OOC hate for playing their characters. Some people I guess get so wrapped up in it they get carried away?))

[OOC: Nasty emails are so beyond the ridiculous right now I could spit. It's a game, folks. With non-real people having a discussion about non-real weapons at a completely made-up school. That had a zombie attack last weekend, in case anyone is confused about the "so not real life" part of our program.]

((You have? Gah, geez, this is a RP and people need to learn the difference between IC and OOC. I've been having fun discussing things with you. *sighs*))
