from I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
"He fell against the window and looked out.
"The street was filled with people. They milled and stirred in the grey light of morning, the sound of their talking like the buzzing of a million insects.
"He looked out over the people, his left hand gripping the bars with bloodless fingers, his eyes fever-lit.
"Then someone saw him.
"For a moment there was an increased babbling of voices, a few startled cries.
"Then sudden silence, as though a heavy blanket had fallen over their heads. They all stood looking at him with their white faces. He stared back. And suddenly he thought, I'm the abnormal one now. Normalcy was a majority concept, the standard of many and not the standard of just one man.
"Abruptly that realization joined with what he saw on their faces - awe, fear, shrinking horror - and he knew that they were afraid of him. To them he was some terrible scourge they had never seen, a scourge even worse than the disease they had come to live with. He was an invisible specter who had left for evidence of his existence the bloodless bodies of their loved ones. And he understood what they felt and did not hate them."
I AM LEGEND is a villain group founded on the idea that the only true difference between Heroes and Villains is: Heroes don't know that what they're doing is wrong. Atrocities committed in the name of Good are still atrocities.
We're not power-gamers or role-players. We're not power-levelers or beggars. We're just casual gamers that enjoy a friendly Super Group atmosphere. We're currently made up of about 10-15 daily players.
We have a base worth approx 1.5 million prestige with Infirmary, Oracle (Mission Computer) and Teleporters to the four lowest zones. Usually we have a working Workshop with workbenches, but they get sold pretty frequently to afford more player-friendly and useful base items.
Our SG Leadership positions are of status, not of power, and they're achieved by accomplishment rather than favor. There is a website under construction, but it isn't active yet. There are no plans for a voice-chat server, but that is certainly something we would like to see.
Our eventual goal is to be a raiding SG, more concerned with the taking of Items of Power from other SGs than with actually keeping them. In the meantime we are working on having weekly scheduled events.
Our membership is over 60, but as mentioned, only 10-15 are truly active. We're not looking for warm bodies, but active players. It's our only real requirement, that you don't play for a few days then abandon your character.
If this sounds like you would fit in well with us, then please contact me in-game (Warparty) or send me a private message on this board.
Thank you.
