has anyone else looked at this site? I registered as a therian on it and there are a lot of other entities that you can register as. It seems that most people would want to do it as a joke, or to look 'cool' because I saw the majority of people who registered were under vampires and werewolves. I want to see what other people think.
-
I've seen this before but i never did it
-
I don't know how seriously I could take something like that, especially since unicorn is one of the categories you can register as.
-
Unicorn? seriously? Now just how the hell is a unicorn going to type, even if it could read..... farking rediculous. There are real vampires by the way. Not the centuries old neck suckers though.
-
MUST resist urge to become unicorn
:oops:
-
Don't forget the Hero Registration Act that sparked the Civil War. Heh, comic book junkie.
-
Seems to me it's just for sh*ts and giggles. I almost registered as an Angel but figured I wouldn't be able to keep the ruse up for long.
-
You so paranoid :-D I love that. :-*
Seriously though, I see your point perfectly. I have made over 1000 posts here and all my secrets are still secret. And the darkest of those will remain so, perhaps all of them. But to be honest the R.P.ers are an asset to those of us who are..shall we say a bit different from the norm. Yes they are also a pain in the ass, but because of them we arent taken too seriously. That can be bad, but in certain instances it can also be good :-D I feal no nead to brag or air out my diferences to the world, to me I am normal, as are we all. To hell with those who would put us on display. Let the roleplayers flood their gates. They can have their unicorns and orcs and dragons. F##K EM.
-
Yes it's nice that they will never take any of this seriously, but at the same time more people should. It could help with some things. Still, see you're point LG, but even if it came to that, I'd like to think we'd fight it.

:laugh: i LOVE how unicorns can register and they have yeti as an entity but not sassquatch :laugh: :laugh:
oh and also its funny as hell that one of the concenquences listed to not registering is deportation :laugh: :laugh: so where would they deport a ghost or a yeti ?? :laugh:

I looked at the website, at first I thought it was one of those misdirect pages.
You can pay them $5 to give you an "official" sheet. This sheet will have all the information you pay them to put on it. (Which obviously means, it is a valid, legal document)
I found it funny, but I share the paranoia here.. Something about this website.. Makes me have more fear, then amusement.. I am curious to the cause of that.. Surely I am not alone, in my perceptions.
-
Lets ask the ghostbusters :-D

To the himalayas

:laugh: but then again for a government legal document, $5 is extremely cheap... too cheap for it to be something serious, usually when you have to buy a legal document, even if its government related, its at the least around $25 then depending on the document, could be hundreds. And just because it is said to be an "official sheet" that doesn't mean its something serious. Like for example, there is this big baptist church (well i think its baptist but its a christian church anyways) called Lakewood and maybe 6 or 7 years ago they were selling these $50 sheets that claimed that the child in which the parent bought the sheet was "touched by God" it had a certificate and the little gold stamp thing to verify that it wasn't a scam and it was legit... of course my mom fell for it and bought one believing that church was selling LEGITIMATE AND LEGAL blessings from God.. point is no matter how scary, legit, or stupid the legal document or situation or in this case authority :police: , if its stupid and hints anythin of being a joke, it most likely is
but seriously :laugh: how can they leave out sassquatch when yeti is on the list ? :?
-
This has been said here before, but it's a joke site, folks. I'm sure it's associated with some kind of book or TV show or something like that. We'll see.
@VM COMIC BOOK JUNKIES FTW!
-
I checked it out, if you go to their privacy policy itl say that that stuff is fake n all that, so it probably was a joke, or some movie or tv promotion.
-
^ Oh, whoops. I misread Ravin's post, earlier on.
No, I do agree. It's not right. I was just saying. lol.
-
I already got that point. But I don't know how easy it could be considered. I mean, we are here discussing how wrong it would be to register and how most of the ones that have are most likely rp people. If one ever came up that was real, I don't think any of us would register. And those that aren't entirely sure would come here for advice, and we'd advise them not to. I'd like to think we're smart enough to know the right thing to do. And the ones that do register and end up being pursued, taken captive, experimented on, etc? Well, let's call that natural selection and move on.
-
Thats understandable, but what is there to say? I'll comply? I won't? In all honesty, if it ever came to something like that, of course I'd fight it. Hell, I'm 100% human, but I'd still fight it. But I think it best not to worry until that time nears, and that coming from me, Mr. Paranoia.
-
If something like this would happen how would you fight it?
-
I'm not sure I would say that we should set an example, on what the right thing is. We all have to decide that for ourselves, but I sure hope that we can be a resource to see what the WRONG thing is. That is also a matter of individuals' perception, but we do not really know right and wrong, we only have a good guess. I'm sure that not being sent to any possible concentration-camp-scenario would serve as a common interest. Therefore in avoiding that, our decisions became less wrong, or more beneficial, of a series of decisions.
I do not like using right or wrong, because I have absolutely no idea how these concepts should be defined. I try like everyone else, but I am willing to admit I might be wrong, I hope that is enough for learning.
Anyway that is off topic.
Let's say this registration is real, or a "real" one arrives. Even if it is "real" who cares? What can a sheet of paper tell you, that you don't already know? What benefit does it have for you? Many "real" applicants would use the sheets as toilet paper. There is no point that I can perceive.
Now let's say we all do it anyway, for whatever possible gain. It is a giant government conspiracy. The government would have to devise a test to determine the "real" from the "fake". The government would need a reason to do this in the first place, whether it be fear or maybe power hungry.
Most of us probably would not do much until it got to that point, simply do to improbability. But if the knock comes on my door, I will demonstrate extreme reluctance.
We are in human bodies, we have to understand we are human. Our limitations are that of humans, we may have a perk but still it is limited. Plus fighting back only increases your value, or you as a threat.
Now this all came from, what seemed to be a joke. I apologize for the seriousness, but I must state this for the worst case scenario.
Even if the site is a joke, I do not trust it, but then again, I am paranoid...

:laugh: well there ya go there is no need to freak out about thisGet it straight everyone!!!
NOBODY has said they believed it to be true..... we ALL know it's fake. THAT is NOT the point.
Point is that people actually ARE prepared to register themselves as "freaks". Shows how easy it WOULD be for the authorities IF they want to find out.
well then either way easy or hard, the authorities could probably find all of us and then track us all down then do the experiementing and all that whether we register that the dumb asses did or not because couldn't the authority hack into all our stuff like posts, emails, pms, etc, and take us down like that ?
And the ones that do register and end up being pursued, taken captive, experimented on, etc? Well, let's call that natural selection and move on.
*<:) *<:) its great to see your funny side once in a while :-D
You probably classify this as ancient history, but.....
During the 50's (I think) a guy named McCarthy was the leader for a massive campaign to out communists in the US. He had a LONG list of names. People that were branded as communists on the slightest suspicion. The ones that didn't confess and apologize were blocked from working in their professions. They were also supposed to give up the names of friends and associates that also were communists.
Same methods as the infamous witch hunters used during the Middle Age actually - minus the physical torture.
Point is..... it will not end with the ones that register..... it will spread to their family and friends..... and to their friends..... and so on.....
It has happened before - and it sure will happen again.
So maybe this could be a start of WWIII ?
If something like this would happen how would you fight it?
i say BAND TOGETHER and fight to the end :gun:

I heard that McCarthy never showed that list to anyone, so it could have been a lie to get power.
-
Yeah, your right. But it still makes you wonder if alot of people's careers were ruined for no reason.

That's Very possible, it's one of My Flaws However, it Has Not Happened Yet so i have time to improve, :spy:

You are the voice of reason on this one????? confidence is something you have plenty of my friend, and its one of your best qualities.
My only advice for overcoming over confidence is this. Know your limits. Then shatter them.

there is actually a series of books that recently came out (they're ok, i'm not crazy about them) and in the book it is required for supernatural beings to register if they wanted to have any sort of relations with a human being. the books are by Jess Haines, and i wonder if this 'registry' is a promotion for her books..?
-
Hi! I'm the guy who created the SRA. I noticed some traffic coming to my site from here, and I wanted to let you know that
- Yes, the SRA is not real – it's one guy (me), a love of monsters, a bunch of custom programming and a copy of InDesign
- It's not a promotional effort for anything, although it's technically part of a world-building exercise that I might eventually develop into a series of books
If you have any other questions, just let me know!
