The GF Tale of Steve - Chief Paladin of Justice
Plugson
This was supposed to be a reply to a thread in the forum's Judicial folder, but I decided it would not be on par with Court etiquette. Most people call the Supreme Court role-playing, so let’s couch it in those terms.
A couple months ago, saltydog was asked to switch alignment to Lawful Good and become a Paladin (Supreme Court Justice). He was given The Holy Mace of Judicial Smiting that allowed him to determine the fate of other players and NPCs (such as 1ronman). Things went along very well despite a few disturbances and idiosyncrasies, such as dressing himself up as Steve the Mighty Warrior of the Eurasian Plains, which some of us just chalked up as a unique way to play a Lawful Good character.
The scenario went downhill, though, when the Chief Paladin guarding the Temple of Justice began to spray graffiti all over its walls and tell-off other temple patrons. At this point, the Dungeon Master forum admin took notice and decided that the Paladin had gone so far beyond his Lawful Good alignment that his character sheet would be removed from the forum game.
Other players, like halfling bard Plugson, didn’t want to see that happen because they thought he was a good addition to the party despite the awkward fit of his current role, so he implored that Steve give in to the DM’s torture and reveal his true identity lest his health points hit zero and be never resurrected in the World of Forumcraft.
Steve, please don't give them reason to have your character sheet get torn up. I've got another party you can join if you are interested.

Awww... I'll be the half-elf rogue!
Is this really becoming a problem? I stopped paying attention to that area of the forums awhile ago. I have an easy fix, though.
Plugson linked my thread 😃
I can't believe SaltyDog would let Steve get away with this.
Im not sure about you but I think we need to look at both sides of the coin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3zyDeUnLZk
Look, guys, I can't control Steve
What do you want me to do? I've tried everything
Blame Acacia, he created the monster
Victor Frankenstein creates the monster...but who is more monstrous, the creature or the creator?
Kilgore Trout 89, High Priest of the Order of SoopKichan enters the room brandishing the Holy Scepter of Apathetic Recognition. Also in the room is a table, a glass of Rylde's Red Ale. Exits are south, north and down.
You are likely to be eaten by a grue...
I heard his sword gets +3 against Wes Lewis
...
For the record, the ad with the swastika is not mine and is not relevant to this article. I fail to see how saltydog's forum persona has anything to do the language debate in eCanada. That is not the sort of alignment being satirized here.
A message brought to you by your neighbourly Will Wheaton.
I suggest to use voodoo to answer to the question "who is steve?".
lemmon party canada..LOL

@Plugson
What I take away from your comment is that you are, in reality, Will Wheaton.

Oooh Kilgore, I saw what you did there!
Zork zork zork!
Zork was literally the first computer game I played. The newer graphics version has none of the old appeal.

Pluggy, Pluggy, Pluggy.....Seven Samurai was an awesome movie
Using it to explain the crap that goes on in this eCountry does not give it the proper respect.
I am disappoint
I don't think the reference to shichinin no samurai was the central part of this article
[removed]
Actually, I just did a google search for a Lawful Good image, and that one popped right out as quite fitting. I had no idea about the 7 Samurai reference. However, loking into it, I do some some connections, especially with the last line of the film, spoken by the Samurai leader, Kambei:
"Again we are defeated. The farmers have won. Not us."
The Justices are in a losing postion, no matter what happens. They lack proper support from the govt, the game mechanics, the populace, and the constitution on which their position is founded. It is a lofty, perhaps noble, idea that a regular player can manage a pseudo-legal situation when he has none of the legal training from RL that everyone tries to bring into it. No matter what is attempted, they will lose - the chief loss being their time.
Saltydog did what he could to protect this shitty village that keeps digging itself a hole. The stupid thing is that the marauding theives are among the villagers themselves. Sisyphus could sympathize.
Yeah, so I had no intention of drawing the movie into the article. I know how much you dislike the role-playing, pimp. My apologies.
😁Nah, Saltydog is nothing. Can you get rid of the establishment if you are a part of it?
Your second paragraph in that comment is the perfect argument to get rid of the judicial branch altogether. And, it's what I've been arguing all along, mon ami.
There were winners in Seven Samurai.
We're all just a bunch of losers.
Guess you're not a D&D player
