The Master Legend Army

I apologize right now for the length, but there is a lot to cover. Oh boy, oh boy, you make it too easy on us ML. You have brought this on yourself. In a wonderful turn of events it has come to my attention by trolling myspace that our delusional drunk friend Master Legend himself has begun to create himself an army, that is right an army. You poor sad old man. How can you create an army if you do not know how to train or organize. You do realize you have to put down your six pack first in order to get everything going on a site, voodoo magic will not be what helps you here. Using Star Trek symbols, he lists the areas of conversation on his board as the following...(here is the forum for reference)

masterlegend.forumquebec.net/adventures-f1/

Advice, Introductions, Post your favorite pictures, Adventures, Simple rules, Survival Techniques, Recreation Room, Missions and Tactics, and FIGHTING STORIES.

I will now address the areas of concern here. Advice, sure that's a helpful area, except when it comes to getting advice from ML, because then it will be just to go drink another beer until the pain of a sad life goes away.

Introductions, you have to read this-

masterlegend.forumquebec.net/adventures-f1/introductions-t1.htm

intro's by ML and the great tool of NJ, Tothian himself.Great another way for people to boast about their imaginary tales of starting out as an RLSH. If this site does gain any momentum, although I doubt it will, beware.

Post your favorite pictures, damn, this is too easy, a way for every single glory hound that wants to take part can take part in showing themselves off in all of their spandex glory, boy I can't wait to see all of the tiny teens, and overweight middle aged men that feel that wrapping themselves up in tights is what makes a hero, just easier for the picking. But take a look at what he has on a hand drawn picture, it is obviously a naked woman to the right with quite an unsavory depiction.

Adventures, oh yes, a way to overly embellish a walk down the street into an adventure of leaping off rooftops to save a young girls life that was accosted by 2 men, or saving a child from a runaway car by using your grappling hook to swing in just in time. Look forward to seeing some of their stories, although at this point there are none.

Simple rules, for dating my teenage daughter. (RIP John Ritter)

Survival techniques, here is one, don't get shot. I guess with his infinite wisdom of the dark arts he should be able to show them that they will not need a bullet proof vest, but instead a little bit of goats blood and a chicken foot and then evil will be scared away as well as their bullets.

The recreation room-a place to tell funny stories and jokes, yeah, a place for people dressed up in colorful costumes to talk about jokes, well if that's the case they may as well just post pictures of themselves there, that should make for a good laugh. Here is a funny joke I once heard, Tothian and Master Legend.

Missions and Tactics, a way for people to tell how being untrained and completely unprepared can help you in a fight against crime, and where to post things that you pick up and read on the internet that will supposedly help, although most of them have never experienced it themselves and never will.

Fighting Stories- the cream of the crop. I have been waiting for this. Yes, a place to tell stories of fights against evil, again another place to embellish and make up random stories to pump ones ego, as well as obviously condoning illegal activities. Promoting this section directly under that title is encouraging vigilantism and encouraging people to act upon it and in all ways condones it. He wants those out there to share their actions of violence and aggression instead of encouraging those that join the site to engage with their local police force, to actively be on citizens patrol more than just a few nights a week, but instead working like the National Guard, 2 weekends a month, and 2 weeks in the summer. He should be encouraging knowledge not violence. He should be garnering respect for the authorities, and encouraging getting communities involved. Not some type of one man fight against "danger" and the "bad guys". This man is a danger, he has been allowed for too long to go out running the streets encouraging others to be just as violent of criminals as those they are chasing down.


But here is the thing, ML does not post his own stories. As a matter of fact, he doesn't post anything to even get the forums started, he simply posts a menial sentence to encourage others. There is next to nothing on this site, he hasn't even attempted to really get it together and ready for people to access it. If this is your site and it is under your name, should you not be the first one to stand up and go into detail sharing your supposed knowledge and wisdom regarding what to do in the field? Should you not be the one setting the example? If this is the example you are setting, my intoxicated friend, you are a worse example than the lazy parent that allows their children to wander the streets late at night with no sense of direction, oh wait. . .

Fashion in Comics

I know this strays away from my normal agenda, but I found this, and I found it hilarious and quite interesting as well, maybe the RLSH should take note on what they have to say.

Oh yeah, they definitely need to take heed to these wise words.

Read the article, and read the reviews.

Villainy and Disillusionment

So as of late there have been several on both sides of the fire that have disappeared and/or retired. Now I understand that personal lives interfere with what it is we all may do online, and in real life, but the question remains, does that change the person beneath? Does the fact that someone leaves being an RLSH means that they have to stop or will stop charity work? Does it mean they have to stop patrolling? See right there is my problem, right there is the problem. As a whole the idea of helping others should not be resolute to the fact that you are this persona, some cheerful guy or some dark brooding figure.

I think that whether you wear a mask or not, whether you are an RLSH or not, that helping others in the world is a very critical, important, and admirable thing. So the fact that Citizen Prime is retired, does that mean he is going to stop helping people? Does that mean he is going to just sit back and stop being a role model for youth? I can almost certainly say no, because despite the ridiculous outfit he is a good person, he is a strong individual that wants to make a positive difference regardless of a suit of armor. That seems to be a point that a lot of RLSH miss altogether. You should be doing good no matter what, you should be out there making a difference no matter what, you do not need a persona, you do not need an alter ego, you do not need to put yourselves on a pedestal and then talk about how you aren't. Look, listen, and heed these words. All of you, every single one of you that has a myspace page, every single one that has a facebook, every single one that posts your picture up on the internet, you are all frauds.

You can attempt to debate me at whatever length you wish, hell you can say whatever the fuck you want, but what this boils down to is that none of you have to put on those masks and that gear. None of you have to go out and "fight" crime. Almost none of you see there are more efficient ways. None of you have to do any of this. But you make the choice, and therein lies the flaw. You all chose to put those masks on, you chose to go out and do all of those things you do. You all want nothing but recognition, one way or another, for personal gain or not, you still wish to be known. You still want to be seen. You want your individual messages out there. If not, we would see a news report along the lines of Batman, "Masked man saves woman, disappears into the night". Now what is stopping any of you from doing this in your every day life? What is stopping you to do these good deeds just because they are right? Why is it that it must be in some form of persona? Is that not just another form of human pride and ego? Look at yourselves, look at what you are, and see that you are flawed from the very concept that you must put on a mask and a suit, no, no you don't need to. You do not need a mask to fight corruption, you do not need some alter-ego to go out and help a community. You choose to do that, chose to become that. There is no reason in the world that is good enough to answer why you put on a mask. "Fear of criminals" you say, well if you were doing things the right way instead of walking up to drug dealers and trying to fight them or tell them to leave all by yourself, there would be no fear of that, and if you keep doing that then you deserve to be shot. All of you continue to say it is not a community, that it is not a movement, that it is a group of people sharing ideas, that you are all too different to come to some standard, and if that's the case you are all worthless stupid fucking idiots. Again there is the problem, it comes down to themselves.

Again I must say, get over yourselves. You can help gather a community together, you can go out and give tips to police, you can make a difference without resorting to a complete comic ideal. That is what most of you lack the understanding of. You feel that this persona makes you a stronger person, that you can be something that you aren't in every day life. THAT IS BULLSHIT!!! If you can do it in a mask, it is no different without it. It is a fucking cloth. Look, I will never knock others for trying to make a difference, I will never get on someone for trying to improve their neighborhood, but to believe that you can go out alone, or even in a small group is the best way to do it then you are pathetic and egotistical. The only way to create change is by unifying people. Gathering your communities together. Seeing one neighborhood join together and start a community watch encourages other neighborhoods to go out and do that, to know that they are not alone, the strength in numbers. To know that their neighbors are looking out for them, that they have people that care about their well being, not just one man stalking the streets looking for dealers and thugs, and may be around to help.

You talk about apathy being a problem, well what about your apathetic nature to the apathetic, "people don't want to stand up and make a difference, they sit back in their lives complacently", well what do you call that attitude? Do you try and find ways to bring them into the light, for them to realize how much they really can help, how much they can do? Do you spend your time trying to organize town meetings, town watches, food drives, house to house donations for food? Do you really devote your efforts to creating strength, to inspire? Or do you worry about your new costume/uniform, your new mask, your new weapons and gear, or your new professionally done myspace page? What is the most important thing about what you are doing? What is the most important factor to what you do? And what is your ultimate goal? Is it to rally people together and to take charge and take control of their lives again? Or is it for you to clean up the streets, is it for you to make their lives safer? Just stop and think about what you are doing, regardless of the fact that you are probably not going to listen to me, despite countless uses of logic. Just stop and climb down off your high horses and really look at the meanings behind what you think you stand for and what you are, not how you see yourselves.

Infecting the minds of the self-indulgent

P.S. I know someone is going to say it so I'm fucking clearing this up now, this is applied to the general populace of RLSH not those that do actually do things right, AKA Captain Black and Z and others along those lines, just to get that out there. This is for the people that still live in a little world or black and white and 4 color splash pages in their heads.

The fall of the "Mighty"

Oh how they have fallen. Once the fore runners, and "mentors" of the movement and leaders and friends to many of those out there that are part of the culture known as the RLSH, Tothian and Master Legend have lost themselves in a swirling sea of idiocy. They have both lost sense of themselves and what they are doing. As of late their actions speak in a much more detached sense, and I say that meaning they are losing sense of reality, or at least what we perceive as reality. But I shall not lose sight of my point. These two people that are probably the most recognized of the ranks, alongside dark guardian and a few others. So as a community they should understand that those in the spotlight or those known at all should be setting only the best and most appropriate standard for everyone else. When people come to check out the RLSH movement, and the first people they see are a raving drunk lunatic, and a whiny little cry-baby boy with an incredibly fast receding hairline, and both, yes both threaten people over the internet, and threaten to do the same in every day life, what are they going to think? First I have to say to Eric and Frank, get over yourselves. If you are truly out there for the right reasons then shut the hell up and just do what you should be doing, go do anything besides bitch and moan because you are not in charge anymore. I am sorry, I really am, but as time progresses others are going to come along that can formulate better concepts of the original ideas, and expand them, make it more efficient, make it better. And that is what I believe people, yes people, not superheroes, like Z and several others do and are doing.

It has come to my attention that Tothian is now technically retired to some degree since he has started school, and he apparently got laid as well. Go figure he loses interest the moment there is tail involved, sounds like most prepubescent and sexually repressed people. But he has dropped patrols, has dropped investigations, and as it appears is trying to drop off the RLSH map. The only mildly redeeming factor is he is going to school for criminal justice, or something of that sort. Good for you. Maybe that will help get your ego in place. One of your major vices is with the way he acted in a fake position of power online, going made with rage and ranting, and in case you didn't know, that can transfer into life, and he could end up being a bad example of a cop or a judge as well. What a great resume to be building up. He is hopefully gone for good in the RLSH community so they can move onto bigger and better things. The sad thing is that most of the people involved in this will probably never understand they need to move past the superhero dichotomy, and learn to put aside their ego's in order to do real good on the streets. It is more than being a superhero, it is about being a man/woman and standing up instead of sitting back, and using our instincts and nature for good. We all have our evil or bad tendencies, and they are hard to control, but the point is that we do control them or at least work hard to control.

Tothian, oh why oh why. You just make it so easy to come right at your neck. I know you don't care about what I have to say or my long winded , but you are the worst example next to ML. You both went in and tore down the HN site. You are an asshole. You throw a hissy-fit because you can't be in charge, and you don't agree with what people say on the forums, that you were kicked out of your own site, so you decide to go and do something so selfish and so childish as to destroy a place that so many people helped to build together, not just you dickhead. A place that those trying to do good in the world regardless of how deranged or deluded they were, could come and converse on forum and site boards that were never updated, and learn to do what they do better (meaning talk and not really do anything, at least most of them), to talk to others and feel a sense of comradery regardless of personal beliefs. But no, you were a little bitch and took that away from everyone that used the site in the community. You are the true villain, you just worked from the inside out. Insolent verbal attack, hell you have threatened people online with sicking Nostrum on them, a man who could hardly be said as existing, a man who also when questioned said he would not do such a thing. You use idle threats to instill some sort of fear into the people you are supposed to be helping. Now, correct me if I am wrong, which I am not, but isn't that just the slightest bit counterproductive? Do you understand or see how your actions are affecting those around you, or do you just not care? YAHHHH! Give me a fucking break. You and ML are stains that need to be oxi-cleaned out (Billie Mays was a hero). Hopefully that day will come soon, and hopefully in part due to me. For your reading amusement here is an interesting article on some of the actions and work of tothian to some in the general public-

Although these happened between years ago and now, it says volumes. Is this what you want in your community? Do you want to be known for a bunch of children constantly bickering amongst themselves? Honestly, you all have the right idea, but all of your fucking ego's get in the way. This is what it boils down to- Stop trying to be important, stop acting so important, and especially stop with your needless sense of entitlement, and just go out there and help people, like you are supposed to, be good people just to be good people; and that statement isnt just for the RLSH, that goes for everyone.

I want to know

Master Legend is the sort of Superhero your parents warned you about as a kid. Stay away from that drunk, disorderly, and insane man in spandex; and certainly never get inside his battle van no matter what he says, or he will probably rape you (not to say ML would, I just lived in a weird neighborhood as a child). I understand we do not live in some ideal world where every person out there claiming to be a superhero is like superman, and people have their flaws, but there is an inherent danger with someone like that roaming the world claiming to save lives. Someone who lives by the attitude of kicking ass and taking names, all in the name of some voodoo practice. This man rides around Florida dispensing his own brand of justice and lack of due process, and yet the community still neglects to separate him from them. Crack another beer, have a nice big gulp of the warm keystone light, and relax. I am sure that's what you did at the megacon in Florida the other day, it's how you took the edge off for your panel. We all have our vices, mine just happens to be punching cripples, but again I digress. This is just one man out of millions, out of billions, a drop of water in one giant pool. We all know what the RLSH are supposed to symbolize, good deeds and purity, and the things we could never be, but when you watch one fail, and you watch one act recklessly, forgetting that he is just a man at heart. We enjoy pointing out that imperfection, we long for it. Now isn't that where the problem really lies? We continue to bring down those that do good instead of trying to lift them up, we bash their problems and do not help with solutions.

THAT is what is inherently wrong with the general populace in our present time. We as a public would rather criticize the good someone else is doing rather than try to make it better. Yes people have a lot of problems, and every single person suffers from some form of psychological disorder, and our own long list of flaws, and no one is able to claim themselves above anyone else, but we still do. We give ourselves the feeling of power and leadership, but truly we have nothing, we allow those people to guide and lead us, to be our example, when we should be together, leading and working together, gaining the strength we need to make the improvements the world desperately needs. The problem there, is greed. Every person is more worried about how things will affect them, how much money it's going to cost them, and not about how to actually put forth the effort to improve things. We do not genuinely care for our fellow man, when stopped on the street for a children's foundation, or helping the homeless, we walk past, say we don't have time, we ignore, we turn our blind eye.

Our complacency is our biggest disease. Something that we have to change, something that will not change on its own. And once people fucking get that we may have a chance, once people fucking understand that we cannot just expect others to do it for us, once we fucking get that we are our own enemies, that we are the cause of our problems and no one else, accepting our own fucking responsibility for once as a species, and get over our own ego's as mankind, only then can we do any fucking good.

true nature

It has appeared to me as of late, that the entire concept of being an RLSV is lazy and self-absorbed. The entire point of being as an RLSV is to criticize what is going on around them. It is such a hypocritical standpoint when you choose to do nothing at all. That being said, I am moving onto the RLSH kiddies floating around the internet. As expected there has been an influx of these little kick-ass wannabe's making claims again that they have been out there for years. Shut the fuck up, we know you haven't, we know you are lying, get your stupid little online ego's in check. Why is it so hard for you to start fresh? Why can't you go into this with an open mind, and not pretend like you already know it all? Oh, wait I know why, because you are self-entitled little fucks that just don't seem to understand the real world, bringing down organizations of people that are trying to do good, and unravel all of that hard work. Selfish little bastards, all for your own fake glory. Get over yourselves.

If any of you even knew what went into helping protect people, the time and effort, and late nights, and lack of physical action. You may get lucky walking around, but there is so much more involved than that little piece of the whole pie, you can accomplish so much more with in depth work and research. Some people are content to have that one slice, if they even truly partake of it. For all we know most of them are simply looking at the pie, describing how they would have a part of it, but never really knowing. Learn, if you are going to spend so much time pretending, learn to actually do some good, listen instead of acting like a bunch of know-it-alls. First off, you never stop learning, so always have an open ear to things people are saying. There will always be bad in the world, get over your idealism and know what you can do to start, and work from there. There is no such thing as the bad guys, everyone is just as capable of doing anything as anyone else. Some are simply more prone to it.

Learn how to operate in your city, learn what is legal and what is not, learn everything you can about everything you are doing, do not overlook anything. I hate to use this, but do you think Batman just patrols Gotham and does no work, does no research, does nothing but run around with a police scanner? Abso-fucking-lutely not. I always hear about patrols but never about work that people are doing besides that. I hear nothing about training, investigations, assisting police, nothing at all to offer any legitimacy besides walking around from these RLSH youth. Think about what you are doing, if you legitimately want to help make a difference, why not find the way it works best for you? Not everyone is cut out to be Rorshach or Batman, some of you are better suited for work as their Oracle, or even start out with tips to police or investigating youth gangs and drugs circulating youth, that would be a big improvement without assuming you have to swoop in and use your batarangs. Just think about it.
