We need permission

Mods can be so cruel
18-08-2005, 23:56
There has been much fruitful discussion in General about a Nationstates Musical, and we need permission from a few mods (who are main characters) to create Southpark style characters. Now, the mods whose permission are most needed right now are Myrth and Cogitation, though we need the rest of you to be open to it as well. Would it be alright to use any of you in this musical and to create south-park characters of you in super-badass armour and things?

A minor technical point here...

18-Mar-05. Myrth busted himself down to retired on 1/6/05.

Actually, most of the mods made their own pictures. I found them all and put them here. (http://nsthemusical.6.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=23) May we use them for the musical?

P.S Katganistan, I made one of you. Can we use this personification of you as well?

P.P.S Sirocco, I made one of you as well here (http://nsthemusical.6.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=37) having no idea what you look like. Can we use this in it?

P.P.S Frisbeeteria, would it be alright to make one of you?

Thank you in advance.

Well, I have brown curly hair, blue eyes, pale skin (I live in Scotland, don't yer know) and I usually just wear a blue jacket and black trousers.

Of course I would look so much better as a purple hippo. With wings. And a kilt! AND A FEZ!!!

Personally, I don't care.

I really don't mind either, if you need to make one of me.

Since it's Karma's artwork, youd have to ask him, but I have no objections to the South Park rendition of myself being used.

I've also been asked by telegram if I could record samples of my singing voice. I'm a bit more reluctant on this for two reasons: privacy and the fact that I'd have to hook up a high-fidelity microphone to my computer, somehow.

Let me get back to you.

Neo Kervoskia or myself will try to get into contact with Karmabaijan (unless one of you mods talk to them first, or they can't be contacted via TG) about permission to use his images.

Sirocco, we'll try to get a picture of a flying purple hippo for you, but failing that, you'll just have to look like a human. :-p

Thank you for your response and time.

Edit: So you understand, Cog, if you don't wish to sing, we certaintly can't and won't try to make you. If you wish to perform any spoken lines, you're more than welcome. Of course, this applies to anyone else depicted in the musical.

LMAO...Bitter, much? :p And yes, we did do our research. It's just conveniently ignored at times. *grins* Surely your mod egos aren't that fragile and tender? Or does [violet] beat you all more often than we suspected?

You all are more than welcome to help us fine-tune the mods to be more like they should be (remember, this is a rough draft so far, and it'll touched up in a bit, but all help is very much appreciated).

Of course, this applies to anyone else depicted in the musical.I like to sing; the problem is I'm still deciding whether or not to give you a sample of my voice at all. If I decide to give you a voice sample, then it makes little difference to me if I'm talking or singing.

Again, I'd have to figure out how to hook up a high-fidelity microphone, somehow.

I understand that, Cog, and it's entirely up to you whether your actual voice is used or not.

As for the mic, we don't require anything fancy, just something decent. We certaintly don't want anyone feeling they have to go out and spend money on this venture.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I just wanted to let the folks who are doing this thing know that IT ROCKS! Keep up the good work, and lemme know when there are new developments (preferably via TG, but email is also OK). I'll be watching the site.

Heh, I laughed when I saw that one. Go ahead, looks like it will be a blast!

You might be missing a few. All the mod pics I made awhile back are here http://test.air-power.us/gallery/NSMods

Some may not be mods anymore, and several have been added since.

You have permission to use them in any non-defamitory way.

Alright. Thanks, very much, Karma. I don't think you'll have to worry about any defamation.
