Opperation: PURGE!

Holister · Post by **Holister** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 12:31 pm

Greetin's From Maine

You all know me, good ol' Ben Holister here again, and I got to say somethin' bout all these bad guys runnin' round Lazlo.

We got an Evil Ron, some Japanese Mafia guy, an evil midget, some evil arcane orginazation, and now a changeling traitor (supposedly).
Not to mention the number of beasties lurking in the wings like GRIM. I suggest to you my Society bretheren. UNITE! We must take back our forums before the good name of Victor Lazlo is tranished forever.
We must purge these evils from the boards, and from the face of the world.

Alone we are vulnerable. Look at poor Ron, he is being beaten down down by some nightmare. Adam and GRIM constantly go at it every chance they can, and bad guys are posting for frickin' job opportunities. THIS MUST END!!!

We have to unite and stop these evils efore they overwhelm us. We can not stand divided over this matter. " A house divided will easily fall, a house united will stand against anything! " We must attack thse evils at their very sources, bring the fights to them, wipe them ut as one powerful entity whose combined voice will echo throughout the ages , " We will not go quietly into the night! "

So my comrades at arms. Let us unite and start working together, pull our vast resources, and ake these evil doers one by one until none are left to stand against our combined might! Let us show the legions of vile darkness that we are strong, and that together we can stand against anything they throw at us.

I saw what we could do in my own home town up here in Maine. Hell, we turned back a wave of evil the likes the world has never seen, brought the fight to Arawn, and destroyed him and his legions. If we could do this, why aren't we able to destroy that Evil Ron, mudstomp that edemented dwarf, or ind that Savarius. Let us "Just Say No!" to these evil orginazations
who are sponsoring for membership.
Let us takle back the night for all those who can not. Let us raise our arms, spells, and powers in one mighty roar.

We have suffered, so many of our bretheren have fallen or have gone missing. Let us not forget their sacrafices as we kick ass in the name of God and this great country
we call America!

UNITE!

Happy Huntin'

Well, like I said.. I am not here on vacation.

Does it have to be for God and Apple Pie though?

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 2:07 pm

Well, I guess we can include borsht.

Shadowstalker · Post by **Shadowstalker** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 2:13 pm

How about just to roast and toast the bad guys.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 2:35 pm

It all sounds good to me.

It happens that I love borsh.

Either road, I have a suggestion for getting this thing started.

First, anyone that wants to join the group, sound off in this thread.

Second, once we get that started, we start contacting each other and get a plan working.

Holister · Post by **Holister** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 2:41 pm

Yes. We need to get organized, to rally our resources and talents. We need to stop this plague of villainy and evil before it does not just consume our borads here at Lazlo, but our own lives, livlihoods, and loved ones. Look at poor Ron, alone he is a moving target each time he shuts his eyes. We have to stop taking warning shots and start taking head shots, en masse'. We are together a power to be reckoned with, and its about time the armies of darkness relized there mistakes.

I am on board all the way. My guns are loaded, and thoughts pure, and my soul strong. Forces of evil, you are on notice!!!!!

Count me in, I guess. I can do some support from here, but in a few weeks to a month I should be coming back to full active duty.

Shang Li · Post by **Shang Li** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 4:25 pm

Holister - i have seen words like these rally people to a cause. I have seen the ideal of goodness taken too far.

When you begin to speak of "purges", Mr. Holister you join a very short list of beings that i have not yet learned to forgive. Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler; i hope you feel that you measure up to their bloodsoaked images, Mr. Holister, for that is the path you propose.

If they come in peace and stay in peace I will welcome them with open arms and offer my aid to them.

If they wish to prey on others and create fear and distrust, I will be compeled to stop them.

If it comes down to it I Will stand against a purge, even if it means standing beside those who's morals I find questionable, if not reprehensible. I will stand beside any being who seeks peace anddd enlightenment, regardles of color, creed, sex, dietary needs, or even plane of origin.

Razor · Post by **Razor** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 4:31 pm

Personally, I follow Shang there. Too much innocent blood has been spilled in the name of good. Good intentions often wind up doing bad things.

Holister · Post by **Holister** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:04 pm

Then stay the hell out of the way!
Those bastards want a war, they want to kill the innocent and attack the weak. They want to corrupt everything they get their miserable hands on. How many more friends, loved ones, and collegues have to suffer and die because we did nothing. Thats right, eil triumps when good men do nothing! Im tired of waiting for those evil bastards to make the first move. Im tired of them coming into this of places and sreading their vile filth. Guys who put their lives on the line day after day like Ron, Crosshairs, Willie, Koyla, Shadowstalker, and dozens more have to stand a front line while the bad guys storm the battlements. Its time we put more of them into the ground, and make our fricken sacrafices worth something more than tears overfresh dug graves!!!

Some of us have families like KT, Ron, and myself. They have their lives in jeopardy just because some of us decide to stand and fight while some of you try to talk peace and wax philosphy. We need to make a stand and make it now!

Before it is too late.

Ashikaga Hideoshi · Post by **Ashikaga Hideoshi** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:06 pm

I came here to offer you what is within my power to grant, in exchange for knowledge and training for my men.

You holister, are uncouth. You dare to lump me in the same catagory as those abominations that creep into the cities, that belive they own the night, I am insulted.

As for your purge, the family has survived purges started by far greater men. If you bring the war to the Ashikaga, we will respond in kind and blood shall run freely through your streets. Unlike many of the "villans" who have posted here when, other than just now, have i offered harm to anyone here? (i would not presume such strength) I will not however, see those who follow me harmed without cause. (if you kill them in your duties as a policeman that is different - it is the risk we take when we choose our path)

Holister · Post by **Holister** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:14 pm

Monsters have an excuse for their brand of evil. What excuse do you have you criminal bastard. Unless you want to be the first in our sights, I suggest you and your whole damn orginazation go back to its back allies and opium dens before all of Lazlo unleashes justice upon you!

Celeste Darken · Post by **Celeste Darken** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:21 pm

Am I the only one that feels Mr. Holister is not speaking as he normally would? Is this the effects of “The Brick” talking, or are you feeling hell-bent on the sudden extermination of all thing not human?

Remember, Ben: I am not a “brother.” I am one of the “beasties.” Does this mean I will also be under your line of fire?

Just wanting to see where you are standing on this.

Ashikaga Hideoshi · Post by **Ashikaga Hideoshi** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:26 pm

Again you insult me with your ignorance. The Ashikaga family has not and will not traffic in substances that cloud the mind and destroy the spirit, that we leave to the dogs that cast their eyes to the triads, and tong, of the mainland.

Murder, extortion, prostitution, industrial espionage, bribery, graft, those are our crimes. If you are going to be rude at least do your research so you do not appear any more ignorant than you already do.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:29 pm

There is a great misunderstanding of Holister's point here.

It is not anti-human (Celeste), it is not anti-enlightenment (Shang Li). It is to destroy those that need to be destroyed.

Shang Li · Post by **Shang Li** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:42 pm

I have already stated Mr. Holister, you do not speak for me on this. Too many men have started purges for causes that were at the start, just. I will have no part of such a thing. I will pray for your mind and spirit. I just hope you do not bring doom upon yourself or those you care for my friend.

Koyla - when a being proves it needs to be destroyed i willl do so myself if needed. The only such being i have seen recently is that loathesome, dishonorable beast that is tormenting those i have offered my aid to. and if he accepts my challenge it will be many decades before he has the power to stir from his lair again, if his existance has not been ended.

Point taken. But I think that was the same argument the Nazis used on the Jews. No offense, Kolya. Because I agree with you. It is a worthy goal. But where will the line be drawn as to what should be destroyed and what will be left alone? I would never flatter myself by claiming to be a god. But my thoughts are only Divine Providence deserves to be such a Judge.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:56 pm

This is not a witchhunt. It is not mindless blind rage. It is not even anything new; it has been done before on these boards.

We all agree that what we do is a worthy goal, that is why we do it. The point here is to form a team and clean up some of the rubbish on the boards.

So let's start a dialogue identifying that rubbish..

Shang Li · Post by **Shang Li** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 6:15 pm

When it becomes needful I, and I alone, shall deal with Hideoshi. It is my duty, as I trained him. Prove to me that it is needful.

I have already offered to allow the small one to prove his honor and strength - he has not answered the challenge.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 6:36 pm

Well, the little one's time is running out.

Or shall we just pack everything up and call it the Shang Li Society?

Holister · Post by **Holister** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 9:19 pm

Call this whatever you want, but the evil, the death, and the desacration against the innocent ends here and now! I found out that my brother Ted was killed by some unknown thing while walking a beat in Bangor, my freind in Delaware was recently killed by cult thugs because he tried to stop them from killing an innocent kid, my own Molly, my sweet innocent Molly came to me in tears after a horrbile dream and asked me if I will protect her from the monsters. I said yes. And that is exactly what I am going to do.

We all have suffered similar losses at one time or another. Another innocent lost to the wretched grasp of evil both man and monster alike. We all fight for a better tomorrow, to try to make the night safe again, if not for ourselves, then our loved ones. For far too long has decident evil crept into this society. Victor Lazlo was a great man who stould for what was right, to open the eyes of blind society.
The Lazlo Society is his legacy to us. He was man of knoweldge and understanding, but also a man of action. I plan too uphold those values, I plan to untie those who will stand with me. Let us take back our Society, lets us make the night safe again. To do that we must start here, right now, and luanch such an offensive that The Devil himself will take notice. We are not playthings, we are not cattle, WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS! and I can not speak for the rest of you,
but if do not stand with us, then do not stand at all.

We are aleady at war people, let us stand united.

KonThaak · Post by **KonThaak** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 10:14 pm

Ben... I'm siding with Li-san, Celeste, and Ashikaga-san. While I may have my own personal problems with a number of members on this board, I keep them to myself as I recognize that their right to be here coincides with their right to exist.

I will most readily agree and argue that there are certain individuals among us who have given up both, and I will most readily agree that they should be dealt with in both ways.

But right now, I can't honestly say that it's right to form an angry mob and go and lynch everyone who offends our sensibilities.

Ben, you're a sheriff, a law-man, and as a druid, I am a lover and pursuer of justice...but I'm not an enforcer of the law, and your power to enforce the law goes no farther than the Cypress Cove precinct. It's not your place to deny Ashikaga-san the right to ask for help simply because you don't like the fact that he gets into shady dealings. He came here to ask for help dealing with the stalkers of the night...and as far as I'm concerned, everything else can be looked beyond at that point right there. Dr. Lazlo would've said the same thing.

Mr. Asshole, aka Evil Ron, aka Not Ron, is already being dealt with to the best of our abilities. The bastard evades and cheats death like it was a dancing poker game.

GRIM, while I find him incredibly creepy on quite a few different levels, has done nothing to truly earn being ousted off the boards, or hunted down. For that matter, he seems to have a great deal in common with Adama, who several people also have called "creepy".

Most here would agree that Celeste is a valuable member to the group. However, some, such as Ron, would most likely say to include her in with those that need to be ousted and hunted down.

And to be honest, Ben, your Archie Costello approach reminds me a lot of our illustrious president, and that worries me on a number of levels...

Once again, I agree that something needs to be done...but this isn't it.

Ben, I respect you... A lot.

If you insist on pursuing this...just promise me you won't let it turn into a bloody witch hunt...and try to be a bit more sensible about it.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 10:48 pm

What's unsensible with dealing with menaces?

Is that not why we are here?

What should be done otherwise? Sit and wait for some jackass to reach enlightment while predating on people?

Everyone should be given what they deserve... again, this is not a mindless, kneejerk call for action. It is something that has happened within the Society several times already.

Why all the pushback?

If we can get beyond the pre- and misconceptions, then we can maybe get something done.

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 11:10 pm

You're right Holister. Most if not all of us have lost someone.

My entire squad was killed by a single monster. A group of men who were my brothers. You always knew it was a possibility. Bad luck, a stroke of fate, a mistake, you prepare for a lot of things to take away your comrades. But to be snuffed out one by one as everyone is helpess to do anything about it by something you can barely see? Nothing prepares you for that. I can't support your wanton hunt Holister. Other then Mr. Shithead (AKA E-Ron) and Rouge Boy there's nothing here that needs eliminating. And creating a Hit Squad to go out in force is both ill conceived and unnecessary. The Lazlo Society exists to increase the understanding of humanity and to protect it. Militarizing the Society or creating a Hit Squad would be foolish at best and apocalyptic at worst.

Holister · Post by **Holister** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 11:22 pm

You preach for peace while these aboninations kill our families. Maybe if some thing tore your precious family apart KT you would understand. We don't all have the benefit of "dragons" protectng the homestead.

I have no grudge against Celeste, but will she stand with those who want to protect humanity, or condem it. I'll make my descision when she makes hers.

As for you Master Li, you are a descent man, don't stand our way.
How can a man of enlightenment stand idly by when evil goes on all around him. You say you will act when the time for you to act comes. From what I see you either walk beside the devil, or lie in his wake. I choose the latter. My family has been threaten, and butchered. My friends lie dead beacsue they stood up when men like you did not.

Evil abounds in this world, it is a matter of fact. My jurisdiction as sheriff ends at my city limits. My jurisdiction as a human being that stands against the legions of vile filth and evil is never ending.

We have to fight back once and for all. Now is the time, we must throw dow the sword and deliver a blow that they will not recover. This is not a time for politics, or to preach philosophy, it is a time for action. We are here to save lives and reclaim the night, not hunt witches.

We know who our enemies are, let us stop the madness once and for all.

Join our cause.

KonThaak · Post by **KonThaak** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 11:29 pm

Ben, no offense, but you're really starting to sound like the president, here. I said I agree that something needs to be done...yet you act like I'd rather sit and do nothing. All I'm saying is that we need to be sensible about going after what needs going after... To lash out in anger will lead to more senseless bloodshed than it will solving problems.

I tried to illustrate this on as much of a case-by-case basis as I could.

I will admit I missed the dwarf. ...It's not hard to do. He's only 2 feet tall; he makes a lousy target.

In all seriousness, though... Is everything okay, man? You're not sounding like yourself. You're starting to sound...overly obsessed. And that's not healthy.

Shadowstalker · Post by **Shadowstalker** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 12:16 am

Ok most of you know me and you know that while I work with the society I also work for another group, lets just say that because of this I have a intresting veiw on this recent discussion. Ok Holister your sounding a little on edge there but understand if there is a threat it will be dealt with no worries, KT has most of it on target as for the Dwarf he decided to try and play with me and he will regret that, and the Liveing Nightmare well lets just say his days are nubered. So take a deep breath count to ten take care of and watch over Molly and your town do what you can and don't let what you can't take care of yourself drive you crazy. Things will be dealt with and when you need it there will be help.

Holister · Post by **Holister** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 12:25 am

This society is falling apart. Im trying to muster a call to arms to
rid our own society of evil, to put an end to innocents dying, to be able to look our children in the eyes and answer them truthfully YES when they ask "Will you stop the monsters daddy. " I expected more from heroes. I see I was wrong about some of you. I let my personal feelings get in the way,
The lines are drawn here and now, you are either with us, or against us and may God help you if you are against us.

- " The war has begun, we are but soldiers. "

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 12:37 am

Ok, this is just what we need. A (Un)Civil War among the Society.

Something is seriously wrong with Holister. Can someone that can sense Possession and such go check on him?

KonThaak · Post by **KonThaak** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 12:42 am

Can't afford the gas, myself.

Adama?

Opperation: PURGE!

Opperation: PURGE!

Hellbent on Death?

And the line will be drawn where?
