Are space vampires good for the health of the game?

Umm.. Commander Arry...
I am going to have to try to defend my sex, which is female.
Female age 53, so I have uh.... experience.

There is no way Commander Null is of my kind.

True, during the Luna cycle, the hormonal changes wreak havoc on the psyche and I have been known to have totally gone off my rocker. However, no human female anywhere, certifiable or not, would outright declare herself to be an Overlord or Supreme Ruler of Anything. She would assume she is already and have no need to strut about showing off weirdly colored feathers. She would not need any silly Rimmer- like salute because she could tell simply by the way you looked at her whether or not you were properly trained. We know.

And as for the " constant need for attention and adulation", yes many of us are high maintenance. However, so are some men. Especially when they are sick with the common cold. My god, what a bunch of babies some men are! They just sit and pout and huddle.

I do not know what Commander Null is like when he gets the flu, nor do I really want to know, but I'm sure he keeps his Mom busy.

Hmmph.
Thbptf!

Also, Z0 is a woman? Was Operation: Tinman that kind of operation or have I just been "assuming gender", as the kids say? It certainly was not evident from the Evil Overlord outfit, but a fully-encased flightsuit with helmet and cape doesn't really give anything away.

Isn't celebrity gossip just fascinating?

It's 'Space Flu', Slangey. A terrible debiltating condition for men. It affects the ability to parallel park, and put up shelves. So, you see how this would not be so bad should a female contract such a condition.

I had also assumed that Zarek flew a Goldwing with that outfit, or a Hardley. I suspect he has a set of 'chaps' and tassles on his space suit. Flying around with other 'butch' males with beards, drinking Kongga ale and hanging around space cafes.

Everything seems to be terrible and debilitating for men. I'm actually surprised they've survived as a part of the species as long as they have. Either they're incredibly lucky, or evolution has stopped working properly.

We survive because we do not spend too much unecessary time shopping. Plus food miraculously appears and our washing finds its way from the floor, through a the machine and back in our 1% share of the wardrobe. We survive because we do not need a chemical processing plant to wash our hair and because water is all the moisturising cream we need.

We survive because my garage does not permit females to enter, otherwise it'd be full off household junk. I need somewhere to hide from a monster now and again. The whiff off WD40 and oil keeps them at bay.

No, that would imply Z0 is a cat.

Which would be truly frightening - far more so than space vampires;

"Ooohh look a big scary vampire!"
[sfx plasma accelerator shot]
"ooh look a big cloud of expanding debris - it's going to have a hard time regenerating now"

Thats vampires.

This is AI space cats:

"Ohh look a bi-" ssssshhhhhhhhhhhh -communication channel lost-
[vfx ship tumbles away into void, torn open, bits of cmdr spilling out]

Perhaps if your wife/girlfriend took a month's break from shopping and performing miracles, as you put it, then she wouldn't need to wash her hair or moisturise so often... As to unnecessary shopping, what sort of a sim-pit/mancave do you have?

Ah, there ya go, a garage as a mancave, surely that's unnecessary? Shouldn't it be for storing the car when it's not in use?
As for smells of WD-40, I'm sure your home is a delight with that particular unnecessary chemical in the air.

To me, Lifeforce was one of those I'd have picked to show it as a very very bad idea. Classic movie, maybe in some circles, but a good movie, it was not.

I think the point is that it would have been far worse without the "space vampires". ;) So we can indeed say space vampires have made atleast one movie better.

Now that's a great suggestion. I'm sure any number of PC PvPs would happily do it ;-)

Zarek is a juicy target for many of them, especially if he's sitting in an engineered eagle in Eravate with goth makeup and a vampire cloak, as he claimed in his vid.

Dont think I am not aware of the half shaved leg phenomena. ie theyre shaved to just above the knee.

My 'mancave' is full off motorcycles and tools. Tools which prevent uneccessary servicing costs, tools which miraculously put up wallpaper and apply paint, fix doors, install heating systems, drill holes for things, build flat pack, mow lawns and fix things the cat destroys. Fit carpets, put up cupboards, fix washing machines and repair flood damage. Usually within 6mnths of the problem. Sometimes. Plus all the stuff is where I put it and I can remember where.

The car is outside on the road. It has a roof, it doesnt need a garage. I once had a room in the house, but now its a corner of that room. A wife, a daughter and a grand daughter means I have lost any sense of self in my house. The daughter and grand daughter live in another house, but you wouldnt know it from all their stuff in mine. Altho GD is forgiven all sins as she thinks the sun shines out of my butt.

To be fair, the damned cat owns my house.
