And then the Fight started...

I found another thread that was deleted by a disenchanted former participant to the CotI boards (whom I shall not name).

(EDIT: I found the thread I was looking for but only after others began posting here. In order to not delete the valuable posts that have been contributed here I will leave this thread open.
The other thread must have been deleted becasue it is no longer accessible))

Let us start fresh.

What happened in YTU just before the Bar room Brawl that cleared the place (or at least embarassed your characters)?

Greetings and salutations,

The Vargr decided to mark his territory and urinated next to the table the party was drinking at... next to some new, but rowdy, marines... on the brand new shiny boots of the biggest one.

The party was banned from that section of the starport.

Hmm, you know I don't actually recall any bar room brawls in our Traveller games. Lots of street fights, usually involving hinky looking religious zealots. This was over 20 years ago and probably memory has colured the events but it seemed like every time we hit a low law port and went to the market we'd encounter #53-Religious Group and I swear the ref only rolled 1d6 for Reactions since next thing you know one of them would be pulling a (insert TL appropriate heavy weapon) from under their robe and firing on us without cause. And then the fight started...

I wonder now if maybe we were supposed to have wondered then, that maybe we were marked by these zealots for something we did

Somebody making fun of my characters kilt. This guy was BIG.... (And, he wore the kilt primarily to provoke things. )

"Yes, I did say you look like the back half of a K'Kree..."

"I said "I smell something like Biowaste comming from your mouth"..."

"Jo Momma..."

"Yes, I did call you a GREANT*...(*see the thread about Far Futre Slang)"

For some reason, especially with the proportion of Firefly/Serenity fans in the group, I can see that changing in your near future. <BWEG!>

An ignorant local spilled Candy's drink. On Candy's new dress. Bob looked for cover...

A mostly "off-camera" fight:

PC1: That Aslan just shredded our engineer.

PC2: Why?

PC1: He finally found out what "psychotic" means...

"Flipp'n Grounder..."

"(best imitation of Trader Jim's voice) Drop and give me 25..."

"Yes, you heard me right; I said I think you smell like Trader Jim..."

Ya know, all I have been reading around here is some really nasty verbal attacks on Trader Jim. some of which seem to be implying, up to and including, acts of sodomy on his character in the guise of a pin the tail on the donkey game. It was amusing at first but the relentless attacks on him wherever he posted quickly ended any implied "fun" and became more than a bit unsettling. I am seeing the same attitude here as I do on the ABC Lost boards, where if you are not one of the chosen few in the right group you are relentlessly attacked and flamed until you leave. This is a nice place....lets take a few steps back and think about how we are acting before this place only has a handful of people left.

 

[Fritz_Brown]

I think Trader Jim encourages it, selunatic. But, I actually see his posts very seldom outside Random Static. And, consequently, very few references (not none) to him outside that thread. But, yeah, I think there is a bit of an "old-head" inside joke feeling about it. I just ignore it, mostly.

"Yes, I did say you sound just like that PreacherMan dude..."

"Hey you smelly old Precherman..."

(If we can not laugh at ourselves perhaps we are holding on too hard or are wound up too tight?)

"I simply asked if you have anything better than Courvoisier here...?"

..."You mean Lucifer? The Lightbringer, Son of The Morning, Brightest and Best of the Angelic Host?"

The barbarian beat his butt very quickly & he got the job because he was willing to try.

I was playing a Ct game right after it came out .
We were a group of 6 off of a 200 ton trader.
Law Level 0 World .
We entered a bar in a small village ,we got a little drunk ,3 guys in grimy camo come in they get sloshed,they also smelled horrible and were very dirty looking .
Our smart mouth marine starts making comments about the smell on them
Like "What Died In Here" ,
They make rebuttal about "Pansy Alien Visitors"
it escalates guns and knives are used as the last of them falls he pulls a cord on his back pack and a 25 kg demo charge detonates.
Of course it killed us all and destroyed the whole bar.
It taught us a lesson for the next characters we ran .
Never start a fight with Troops fresh from the jungle fighting rebels and in a bad mood .
Or when the marine starts talking trash to npcs knock him out right away .
