The Escapist's Vigilante Coalition.

[Averant]

The big problem with this is that I am a raging misanthrope, and there's a quotation from Nietzsche which I think would apply to me.

He who fights monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Considering my current opinion of the human race, if I were to become a vigilante I think it would take very little to push me over the edge and start killing. And once I'd started, I'd begin to rationalise it, and I would not stop.

Now you see the problem.

Heh. My thought on that is, Why not become the monster first, THEN fight the monster? It's not fighting fire with fire, since fire doesn't die, and humans do! It would make things both easier and simpler for me.


Of course, I have it on good authority (aka another escapist) that I'm insane. So what would I know? ^_^

 

[Someperson307]

Yeah..

Then I saw Kickass.

I don't want to be that guy.

What happened?

The kid got stabbed in the stomach and hit by a car and got beat up and almost got stabbed in the heart. What he did at the end makes up for it though.

 

[Sneaky Paladin]

I would probably wear skin tight black clothing and have a tranquilizer gun. I'd go for the small guys like drug dealers and purse snatchers from the rooftops while silently dropping a note and leaving to find my next crime to stop. I would be called The Little Person because I would stand up for the little people and put an end to minor crimes. Every little bit makes a difference and I don't like getting shot.

 

[Czargent Sane]

If I had some power armor, sure.

 

[GoGummiBear]

I don't live in a town, but maybe I could kill some animals.

You know, evil ones.

Like emu's?

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Um, I've considered it I guess. Thing is, the way I see it you either don't make a difference because you're trying to stop crimes in progress and it's hard to find those a lot of the time, or you're a horrible monster everyone wants to catch because rather than trying to stop petty crime, you go after the big (drug, prostitution) organizations and commit crimes against them such as murdering their members. Which is against the law.

So you wanna be Batman, an enabling, emotionally-crippled tool, or do you wanna be Frank Castle, a heinous monster?

free running and martial arts (all of them(well at least the useful ones)) fire arms and using a katana I would wear bullet proof armour. i would mainly fight unarmed and disarm my opponent so I have a weapon and they don't but if there was a group of people I would use a katana and properly slice there legs. my gun would be a desert eagle and my alias would be the bullet proof ninja.

I have an agreement with the Emu's, I don't attack them if they keep me informed on the real bad guys, white tailed deer! (dun dun duuunnn)

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

Meh, I work out of a base centered on Ross Island, Antartica. The volcanoes power my base while I work on some stuff. Genetic manipulation, weapons technology, some stuff to do with my prototype Ion Cannon. I also have new ablative stealth technology that makes stuff in it invisible to radar and x-ray imaging systems. But mostly, its a quiet place I can go to get away from the crazy world. If you ever see a flash of blue on the horizon, thats me wiping out another spot for giggles. You can keep the vigilante stuff, I'd rather be a supervillain.

 

[Burningsok]

yeah I remember when I was about 12 and I wanted to just go outside and see if any crime was happening, grab a bat and go out looking for a douchebag criminal to whack on. Thankfully I didn't do it.

 

[Shovel]

I did at one point but it involved usage of nuclear weapons.

seriously though this place is a shit hole.

Don't worry, I'm planning to kill them once I take down the Badger brothers.

It's all those violent video games, they give me ideas...

 

[NeutralMunchHotel]

Nah, the south of england is pretty tame. There's not much for me to do. Unless I went up to london but then I'd probably die.

You live in Brighton, right (the only reason I remember is that I live there too, don't judge!)?

Brighton Beach Patrol... did you ever see it?

 

[Deviltongue]

I would only ever become a vigilante if I got super powers. Preferably the ability to teleport. I would train in Krav Maga and KFM and I'd be known as Shift. It would be awesome.

 

[Anarchemitis]

I could play the Chinese National Anthem from the rooftop of a major mall every wednesday for a while.
Would that mess with enough people's heads?

 

[Faulty Turmoil]

I used to work for the police up here and I've gotta say, there were times I wished there were some costumed vigilantes out there. It would make walking a beat at 3am a little bit less freaky.

Or even more freaky depending on their costume.

I have toyed with the idea, and am seriously considering becoming a cop, it'd be more interesting that pushing pencils. But here in England the sargents have to do an absurd amount of paperwork anyway, although they're apparently going to cut down on that so there might be less to do when I sign up.
