Vibrant emerald green is gorgeous. And if we made our official colors green and red, then we'd look like a bouquet of roses. 

 

Or Christmas decorations.

I think it depends on how you do it, really. Poison Ivy doesn't remind me of Christmas. 

[DomeWing333]

I agree with this guy. 

 

 

edit: As for Kane...Last I checked, things were getting kind of ridiculous there, last I checked. Not that such hasn't happened before. 

 

Wait, things got more ridiculous with Kane? The storyline in which he was introduced included arson, murder, and long lost cult siblings! How much more ridiculous could it get? *researches and sees a picture of Kane in a business suit* Oh. Ohhhhh. Yeah, okay, Kane's out. Er, I mean the "Director of Operations" is out. (Seriously, though, what?)

 

I like the John Cena heel turn idea, but yeah...that was never gonna happen. He's the designated hero. I agree that it should have furthered along some kind of larger storyline, though. Instead of the cheating/heel turn thing, they could have gone the opposite route and have someone beat Undertaker, but then be gracious and respectful about it. That would earned just about anyone some brownie points with the audience and it would come off far less exploitative of such a distinguished legacy.

Ah, the real motivation for green and red outfits emerges.

I don't know what you're talking about.

 

[HuldraDancer]

I support the alterior*sp* motive for red and green uniforms if it's Poison Ivy related. Just saying~

Hey! I had almost given up on this place so thanks for the invite!

 

I'm just some girl from New England who is bad at sitting still. I recently spent three years teaching English in Asia and plan to go to the Middle East next. Although it wouldn't be inaccurate to say I'm restless or generally discontent, I really do love to travel, meet friendly people, and learn about their culture.

 

I also love writing, gaming, illustration, ancient history, and good stories (regardless of their medium). I'm a big science fiction and psychological horror fan, and enjoy themes that explore morality, sociopolitical issues, the human psyche, and philosophy or religion. I've got a particular weakness for superheroes, underdogs, and pretty girls.

 

Human and civil rights, as well as mental health awareness, are deeply important to me and I'm (annoyingly?) vocal about them. I have little patience for cruelty, intolerance, and apathy, and am very, very fond of warm, empathetic, and compassionate people even if I sometimes come across as a bit aloof myself...

 

Sorry, I don't know anything about WWE.

I am so glad you did come back and join the group, Aesa. It's not very active, but I think it has potential as a respite from the volatile parts of the BSN.

Well, I think they did. But admittedly, things have always been kind of ridiculous with Kane. The last I saw of him was more on the goofy antics side rather than the ultra grim and murderous sort of absurdity. 

 

One week he was crushing on Kelly Kelly (the most cheerleaderesque of the Divas) and then shortly after he was getting involved with "team Hell, No!" 

 

He was "Hell," and Daniel Bryan was, "No!"

 

...Because Daniel Bryan liked to shout, "No!" a lot. It was dumb.

I think that would have been better too, but after how they carried out the "Ric Flair forced into retirement story," I'm not sure they could handle even that. Shawn Michaels was kind of the perfect person to share a last match with him, but they kind of came at it from too many angles. They gave Flair an enormous, heartfelt send off, and they even let people who were full heels at the time come out and get all sappy about it. But then they just kept milking it with Michaels. I think they even tried to start a feud between he and Bautista over it.

I thought it was shouting "Yes!"? Is it both? Does it switch depending on whether he's a face or a heel? Have I been underselling the complex tapestry that is Daniel Bryan?

Yeah, I guess "tasteful" and "dignified" isn't really something you can expect the WWE to pull off.

Yes! 

 

Lol. I mean, that's exactly what they did. Such nuance. 

 

See, this is why I prefer WWE when they don't bother trying to go for all the modern standards of "realism." I mean, I feel that way about a lot of stories, but especially about WWE. It's a circus, so let it be a circus. Give me Kane at the center of a sea of pyrotechnics, ready to tear everyone else apart. 

[Duelist]

Yes!

Lol. I mean, that's exactly what they did. Such nuance.

In Daniel Bryan's defence, his story wasn't all that dissimilar from the wildly successful Austin/McMahon rivalry.
If anything, him being a geeky little dude with a goat face and down to earth personality, by wrestling standards anyway, made him a far more convincing underdog given Vince's preferences for big guys and personalities.

Fair enough. It was the over the top stuff that first got me interested but it was the high flyers and technicians that kept me watching.

That said, Stone Cold dishing out stunners to everyone and anyone never got old to me.

[Lady Artifice]

I love high flyers.

 

But I also love the way a behemoth like 'Taker can tightwalk the top rope. The acrobat displays are definitely the best part. 

[Lady Artifice]

A few of the people who "followed" this group haven't actually accepted their invitation to the group. One other member had some difficulty actually being able to accept their invitation, so I'm going to update the OP to say that anyone on the invite list who wants to join but isn't able to should send me a PM and we'll get them in.

[Suketchi]

Alright, guess I'll join in on the fun and introduce myself XD Not much to say actually... I'm an unemployed, self-taught artist, major geek, and evil genius... lover of rainy days, villains, cheesecake, and potentially life threatening situations.

 

 

Thanks for the invite, Artifice! Hopefully you won't regret it lol

'volatile'. ehehe. I've heard a lot of descriptors for the less pleasant parts of BSN, but that one's definitely my favorite. 

[Lady Artifice]

Green is a good color on me.  It brings out the green in my eyes.  Just saying.....

 

Hey, mine too! Go team green!

 

Okay. So I think we should actually go with emerald green and cerulean blue for the super ultra very official colors of The Romance Defense Force. Like a peacock feather. Because peacock feathers are beautiful. 

 

I might make a banner of some kind.

How dare you dictate how I dress. I want my own special snowflake uniform! Black, red and green. And no feathers! Spikes! Cater to my demands damn it.

OT: the name is Donk. I'm an obnoxious twit with momentary lapses of kindness and wisdom. Gotta be in the mood though.

(jeez this is sounding like one of those AA meetings)

I love videogames and heavy metal music. I'm also a fan of dark humour. I can also write though I've never actually completed anything due to being compulsive and very up and down in my moods but I'm hoping to overcome that.

And that just about sums it up.

You'll stop by in here now and then, won't you?

Sigh. Just no pleasing some people.

 

On the other hand, this just gave me an idea for a new thread.

Sure thing. Especially now my usual hangout place on the BSN has been nerfed

We were too OP.

Spoiler

That was actually pretty funny

If anybody happens to know how to make this group private, so that people who haven't been invited can't view it, please let me know how. 

 

I confirmed today that it's possible, because there are groups that I can't view. 

 

I actually can find one option to set it to private, but it only keeps it from being on display on the main page. People can still view everything if they have a direct link. 

[lynroy]

Click on GroupCP then click on ranks. Edit the guest rank and uncheck Show Group or delete it. Save and you're gold.
