I hate that the Outsiders Role Play group is private!

Good point. But they should also be rebellious and not care what everyone else thinks and they should let me see what Ponyboy and Sodapop Curtis are doing.
Let it go Joanie, trust me...you know in the back of your head that it's not as good as you think it is, anyway...
I know, you're right. How much material could there be in saying "Shoot, Mustangs are tough cars" and "No jazz before the rumble" and "Stay gold, Ponyboy" and my personal favorite "Do it for Johnny!" Hmm...maybe there is a lot of material there after all! I think I'm getting the movie mixed up in there now too.I'm still totally fascinated, I'm sure if I did join I'd be so disappointed but that's where they're geniuses, by keeping it a mystery they keep me interested. Brilliant!
wow. I have nothing to say about this. I don't even have the vocabulary to mock an outsiders role play group.
I find it cooler than a Lord of the Rings role play though. All that crap is so overdone and all dungeons and dragon-ish but to have a group devoted to role playing the Outsiders is much more creative. I feel the need to say nice things about them in the hope that they will let me take a peek at their strange world because of course I'll never actually request to join. I think we should have someone act as a spy and check it out. God, I really need to get some sleep, I'm totally losing it now!
Ok, Joanie, you've sucked me into your paranoid, Outsiders-wannabe group loving world...I'll take one for the team and infiltrate the group. They won't know what hit 'em.
who??? hahaha. I played RuneQuest last fall for a school project. There are all these theories about learning styles in role playing games, but I got so addicted so fast! And it was as lame as getting addicted to pong. Now, if I could really play one. . .PS Im typing this from 1982 on an Apple II.

Know what's even weirder about the Outsiders? They're from the UK. Don't know why I find that odd but I do. Can't quite imagine what it would be like to talk about Greasers and Socs with a Brittish accent, but then again, I guess they're typing.
Don't say you love me until I come back after successfully disintegrating the uppity-haters that are the Outsiders...but thanks for the boost!
I bet their password is "Stay Gold" try that! I have a friend who signs that on birthday cards and stuff, it's so funny and odd all at once. When she left our job we read her the Robert Frost poem. I'm beginning to think I'm more fixated on the Outsiders than I previously believed!
I am sitting quietly on the edge of my seat waiting for the moderator to invite me into the fray...I have to tell you, Joanie, I don't like feeling like it's 9th grade all over again and the big dance is only a week away and Bobby hasn't asked me yet. Staygoldstaygoldstaygold...that's gotta work, right???? You will hear from me no more until my undercover kick-ass spy work is done.PS. If you seriously don't hear from me in like, a week, please send someone looking for me...those Outsiders look tough.
April, where did you come from? You = bueno.
I was gonna be all clever and be like "Can I be Ponyboy?" because I didn't realize this was about that Outsiders, and I thought I was going to be witty. But it really is about Ponyboy Outsiders, so I'm just lame. Pfft.
My internet access was down yesterday afternoon and last night-has anyone heard from April? Did she manage to infiltrate the Outsiders group? Are they keeping her captive in their weird little world and making her engage in hours of Ponyboy role play? If she doesn't come out of this okay I'm going to feel responsible. Stay gold April, stay gold.
Okay, I just checked and the number of Outsiders members has gone down from 8 to 5 and April is not listed as one of the members :-( Apparently they're killing off their members one by one, must have been some rumble!
yeah... i really like The Outsiders but i wish i could see what the discussions are about before i joined the group. i mean, if the discussions were really stupid, i wouldn't want to join. but i have no way of knowing
Have no fear. I am writing quickly just to let you know I am OK. I have gone subversive and you will not find my profile on The Outsiders list, but trust me. I am slowly taking care of it...1 at a time.
Glad to hear that you're okay and making inroads into Ponyboy's world. Send word when it's safe!
I did it. They're done for. The Private Outsiders members-only Joanie-hating world is no more.
Yeah!!!! I can't wait for an update! I've been swamped at work so this is the first time I'm getting to read posts and you've been there for 48 hours already-tell us, tell us, tell us!!! Did you have to go through some gang initiation kind of thing? Was it scary? Do you have a homemade tattoo or anything?
Oooh....like trying to gather recon for the rumble!!!! I'm sure you're right, they're probably really nice and here we (I) am mocking them. Of course, that's who I am, what can I say!
STAYGOLD or, How I Survived My Ordeal in The Cult.
Initiation was horrible. First, I was kidnapped and thrown into the back of a red Corvair and forced to memorize the book. I had to act out all of the characters for the remaining 5 members of the group (with makeup and costumes). Then, I had to recite the text, word-for-word...backwards. I was required to end all of my sentences with "because I am a greaser, sir". This group is made of purists. They don't believe the movie should have been made so I had to hunt down Matt Dillon & Rob Lowe, cut off their hair, and coerce them into signing a 45 page statement denying any and all affiliation with the movie. I tried to send signals to the cafe, but they were all intercepted. I spent days and days in Madras shirts, trying to hide my long hair, acting like I was one of them. I was finally accepted into the group only to find a knife in my backpack...and a dead Soc in the trunk of my car. I started running as fast as I could. I didn't know where I was. I didn't know who I could trust. All I could do was run and hope to find a friend. Finally, I did. A man they call "PB". He knew immediately what had happened (they've done this before). He gave me a change of clothes, $26 and a disposable cell phone. He told me there was an underground network for people like me that had gotten in with the wrong crowd and needed to escape. I made it out using his connections (a man named SP, a guy called Jon...all of these names sounded so familiar) and I finally worked my way from Oklahoma back here. Whew! So trust me when I tell you. You are missing nothing. These people are monsters. PB & I are orchestrating a recon mission to destroy them from the inside out. Who's with me?
I'm so in!! Plus I feel largely responsible since I was the one who brought it up. Maybe we should start a rival Rumblefish gang to go up against them, Motorcycle Boy could kick some serious Outsider ass!!! (It's like S.E. Hinton came up with the names for her characters when she was 10 and then just kept them!) Anyway, I say we start a Rumblefish group and take them down!!!
damn, and I was secretly convinced that the reason it was private was because they were actually role playing the hawt gay sex amongst Outsider characters in there. Too bad. Good opportunity gone to waste.
No such luck. It's a bunch of manipulative, mind-bending role-playing crazies. I have the ski masks, butter knives and duct tape. Now all we need is a half a stick of dynamite, 3 bottles of white-out and an electric wheelchair.
I can score the wheelchair from work-we're good.
Anybody know where to get a half stick of dynamite? That's kinda crucial to the whole rebellion...I mean, what's the use of bringing the monkeys, then?
I have some Pop Rocks and some Coke.
Dynamite is for amateurs.*places two pounds of C-4 on table*
Now this will stop the show no matter what. Have fun.
*skips out the door*
My hero!*flutters eyelashes and touches heart*

What do you think they do? There are 8 of them, do you think each one of them is a character from the book and they stick with those characters all the time or do you think they mix it up? How many characters are there? Ponyboy, Soda, Darry, Dally, Johnny, Two Bit, Steve,and Cherry Valance are the main ones then I guess they could take turns being random Socs and Greasers. Sigh, I guess it will just have to live in my imagination. Hate that!
