Reference:2003-12-16 Douglas Sharper in the GoG neighborhood

---

Tarl Raven: Have you managed to contact him since he was taken?
Douglas Sharper: Of course not. They have taken him and have no intention of allowing anyone to speak with him.
Raidun: hello everybody
(12/16 16:48:03) Solaris: what are we to do?!!!
(12/16 16:48:11) Foo: phil was spending a long amount of time in the nexus recently
Douglas Sharper: We are to raise trouble.
Clarissa: Why do you think he’d been taken?
(12/16 16:48:25) Solaris: how??
(12/16 16:48:34) Foo: waaahooo! trouble is my favourite, lol
Douglas Sharper: They didn’t like his power or his message.
Foo: so we are to spread his message?
(12/16 16:49:01) Clarissa: What was his message?
Douglas Sharper: People listened to him and he did not always speak very well of the DRC. Ha! He hated them.
Foo: sometimes i agree with him
Douglas Sharper: So they have taken him. Who knows where? Against his will.
Douglas Sharper: Like the tyrants they are.
Foo: i expect they taken his KI
(12/16 16:49:44) Tarl Raven: Definitely against his will, and a bad move to confiscate his book
Douglas Sharper: His KI and Relto Book.
Douglas Sharper: He has no escape.
Foo: who was responsible for it?
(12/16 16:50:11) Foo: do you know?
Douglas Sharper: Laxman and Watson were the ones there yesterday.
Douglas Sharper: Laxman took his Book.
Clarissa: Can we find him?
(12/16 16:50:26) Solaris: Are they trying to do the same to you Mr Sharper?
Douglas Sharper: Good luck. Phil hesitated.
Douglas Sharper: And I won’t.
Tarl Raven: I don’t think Phil thought he was in danger at the time, despite your warning
(12/16 16:51:20) Foo: what should we do? rebel against DRC rules?
(12/16 16:51:38) Clarissa: Weren’t you the one into man hunting, Douglas?
(12/16 16:51:50) Andrea: Solaris, how do you sit down?
Douglas Sharper: Not in danger? He was taken! What do you call that?
Douglas Sharper: Man hunting? Me?
Tarl Raven: You saw he was in danger, he didnt see it himself
Douglas Sharper: No he didn’t.
Tarl Raven: Until it was too late for him to react
Douglas Sharper: Phil is not that way. Wants to trust everyone.
Clarissa: Something about that in your journal
(12/16 16:52:47) Enjah: Hi everybody
(12/16 16:53:13) Foo: we need a plan
(12/16 16:53:26) Elspeth: Mr. Sharper, do you have any idea where Phil is being held?
(12/16 16:53:32) Tarl Raven: Have you thought about what you need to do now, Douglas
Douglas Sharper: I am working on one. Working out my anger and working on a plan.
Elspeth: Whether there is anything we can do, but wait?
(12/16 16:53:41) Enjah: What’s going on, guys?
(12/16 16:53:43) Elspeth: And share the journey?
(12/16 16:53:49) Enjah: Who is Phil?
Douglas Sharper: We’ll need people. Lots of them. Supporters.
Foo: you’ve got them.
Douglas Sharper: We will demand Phil be released.
Elspeth: Phil Henderson. Long story. Check out the logs at Archives of the Restoration.
Douglas Sharper: Phil was a friend of ours.
Elspeth: Mr. Sharper, why would they listen to us?
(12/16 16:54:29) Andrea: Douglas, we need a leader, lead!
(12/16 16:54:35) Tarl Raven: And if they refuse, Douglas?
(12/16 16:54:44) Foo: then we ove4rthrow them.
(12/16 16:54:57) Elspeth: They hold the keys, foo.
(12/16 16:55:09) Foo: but why do they hold the keys?
(12/16 16:55:10) Elspeth: Notice how you have to use your KI to identify yourself every time you use the Nexus?
(12/16 16:55:16) Foo: we could run D’ni without them
Douglas Sharper: They will not be able to refuse!
Douglas Sharper: Not with numbers.
JB Whitter: So what wise words do you have for us today Douglas?
(12/16 16:55:30) Elspeth: I don’t want this to be about power, but currently… they have the power.
(12/16 16:55:54) Foo: power is not something that should be given to a small number of people
(12/16 16:56:00) Elspeth: I could write some cool protest songs, but…
Douglas Sharper: They do unless people protest that power. There are more of us than them.
Foo: it should be split, and democracy should rule.
(12/16 16:56:10) Elspeth: Foo, power isn’t always given.
Douglas Sharper: For now, spread the word.
Foo: we will.
Douglas Sharper: We need people willing to protest.
Douglas Sharper: Perhaps we will storm the city and tear down barriers.
Foo: im with you.
(12/16 16:56:46) Enjah: How and to whom do we protest?
(12/16 16:56:56) Foo: Wahey! tearing down barriers sounds fun
Douglas Sharper: I’m already working on my own neighborhood. Opening up what they have closed to us.
Lucas: doug->hope this question isn’t asked before but did you hear anything from phil or dr. watson?
Douglas Sharper: I have heard nothing.
Douglas Sharper: Even now the DRC doesn’t tell us what they have done.
Douglas Sharper: Who do they think they are?
iska: ???
(12/16 16:57:33) Foo: should we all wear our journey shirts?
Douglas Sharper: Yes!
Douglas Sharper: To support Phil, wear the shirt he spoke of so often.
Foo: ok, im putting mine on very soon.
Douglas Sharper: Spread the word to others.
Tarl Raven: Despite what they’ve done to Phil, we shouldn’t drop to the level of kidnapping ourselves though
Douglas Sharper: It will encourage us all.
Douglas Sharper: And we will get Phil back soon.
Elspeth: Good grief, Raven, no.
Douglas Sharper: Not by taking him!
Elspeth: There must be another way.
Douglas Sharper: By forcing the DRC to give him back. To give him his freedom!
oclee: Don’t you think your littlt campaign with phil has escalated things?
(12/16 16:58:49) Foo: shorah, that is what the d’ni would say, peace to all
(12/16 16:59:13) Foo: we must remain peaceful, but demand justice
Douglas Sharper: Very well. You can sit here and say peace. I will get Phil back.
Tarl Raven: To show that there is now a need for more freedom of movement here
(12/16 16:59:18) Loriendil: And how will you do that?
Douglas Sharper: And when they take you, I will sit here and say peace.
