oh, hey look, it’s Merek, the least surprising thing about all this.
The particular Merek on AoA is currently a torso and a head. The rest is all cybernetics.
This is what happens when you’re dumb enough to commit treason against the First Order, join the Resistance, and constantly charge into combat against Knights of Ren when you’re not a Force User. To be fair, he actually tried to run away the fourth time… which only meant he was gasping and fatigued when the last limb was lopped off. He was shipped back to the Resistance in a box, still alive.
Prior to that, he was also known to brag about dueling Jedi, duels that he nearly always lost. You’d think that would’ve encouraged more caution about dealing with less kind Force Users…

If you know anything about Merek, two things are always consistent. 1) They’ll always play the same character. 2) They’ll never back down from a fight they can’t win.
There’s been at least one game where he died on an almost monthly basis due to trying to fight the story NPCs with a new Merek showing up right after each time.

#2 is actually surprising to me, because it’s the exact opposite of how I’ve known him on Arx, where he is notoriously paranoid about engaging in any danger. But on Arx, you can’t just remake the same character, so maybe that’s the difference?

My #1 memory of Merek on Arx was also my first time ever meeting/playing with him, in a PRP.
Everyone’s characters had been planning for a good 45 mins in scene on how to proceed, reached an agreement and then turned to go when he just “threw his cloak up” to justify some stealth rolls in the middle of a bright and sunny day (immediately after his pose and without clearing it with the GM, mind) and ran off on his own to go fight some guards, completely off task and jeopardizing the entire plan we had just discussed.
That was like a couple years ago tho, maybe he’s become more risk-averse??
-
My only real memory of Merek besides his consistent seasonally inappropriate attire is, as a Whisper, having to decline the opportunity to take nude baths with him a couple of times, and him being low-key mind-blown by that.

Proof that Exalted is the best setting. Everybody Zerg-rushes the charm that lets you hang out in bikinis in arctic temperatures,

@helvetica It has been requested, more than a few times, that the ‘go back to your Arx corner’ joke be allowed to die.

That’s actually the first I’ve heard of the request? I’ve never had a problem with the whole “Arx is a big game and conversation about it can be chatty so there is an Arx thread for it” thing.
(As an Arx player, I love the Don’t Arx sign.)

Well the way you dropped it made it sound like a thing everyone should have seen/noticed already or been aware of or something.

I have found that the “don’t talk about Arx” can be stifling to conversations; it’s a huge game that handles some things very differently than other games do, with lots to be dissected and talked about and learned from. But it doesn’t matter how relevant the point might be to whatever given discussion if somebody just throws up a “shut up about that” image – it can shut the conversation down.
I have not complained or requested that it stop, but I have observed the chilling effect (and skipped offering input at times to avoid getting told to shut up).
-
The only time the ‘don’t talk about Arx’ stuff is thrown out bothers me is when people are using their experiences, in a serious way, on Arx to explain their side on a matter Arx is their primary place of play and where the most of their experience is. Otherwise I just ignore it. It is not hurting anyone or ending conversations.

Except that it does give people pause before they speak, or they choose to remain silent instead.

I didn’t mean to cause a commotion. It amused me but I see now that it isn’t a commonly held amusement.
I apologize.

It does remind me back to Ye Olden Times, when games like Firan or The Reach was inundated in every single thread in some fashion on WORA/MSB/etc.
It was the game dejour, most people had some interaction with it(for good and bad, respectively).
I think it came from this whole idea that one game or another could completely hijack the topic of a thread with talk about a game that had nothing to do with the topic, even if the situation was tangential to the thread topic at hand.
Which is exactly what’s going on now.
Honestly, I’m in it for the joke, because eventually, at some point, there’s going to be the next game that’ll take over the forum’s collective consciousness to extent that someone will make a sign for that game too.

I’m rolling my eyes so hard rn. If anything, Merek talk hijacked this thread.
