h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Oh dear...

I've got an RPG running at the moment if anyone is interested..

Vampires? Hmm, I'm not personally interested but I could contact some other people. I'm more of a garlic-lover.

Different kind of vampires, not killing machines or cliches...but any you could send my way would be most appreciated

Not sticking rigidly to the mythical texts then?

No way, it's based on White Wolf's RPG....not stereotypical vampires. The fact they're vampires isn'teven really that important, it's more the politics behind a race of beings that don't want to be found out

I already do that. I'm generally a non-socialable person in RL. Not to be confused with anti-social.

I don't think I'd enjoy Vampire if it was all stereotypical and bloody..I enjoy the politics and friendships and intelligence of it

Politics, one of my pet peeves.

Me too, if it's done snidely....But I enjoy the etiquette side of it all I suppose

Politics is only good if utilised in the correct fashion. Unfortunately most , isn't.

Agreed

Which is why I prefer science.

Have you read Sun Tzu's Art of War by any chance?

No, my brother has though. Is it good?

Probably the greatest treatise ever written. A few politicians would do well to read it.

I might ask my bro to borrow it sometime

For a lot of it you need a very deep knowledge of battlefield tactics. The version I got off the net had a companion set of cliff notes, not that I needed them much.

Oh....I'm not very good at that kind of thing. It's not really my area of interest or expertise

Well, if you get the version I got it explains it all pretty well. There is also a good story about Sun Tzu himself that was in the notes. I don't have a link for it so you may have to Google it if you're interested.

I might do, but I don't think I'd understand it very well

You should try, some of it very interesting, some even surprising. It is amazing the amount of knowledge the man had of psychology.
