Well fellow larpers it looks like we are about to imbark on a journey to Jerry land. Andrew, aka Shapwin, and his girlfriend have got a spot on the show for a
" It's me or Darkon skit" to be acted out. I am to play the part of the country member who needs Shapwin to remain in the lines for the war and
his girl is gonna give him the choice. Seeing that I do not and have never lived in a trailer park and that I have all my teeth I hope this doesn't take a
horrible twist . I am posting this here to get a feel for what Darkon thinks. So , have at it... I am going to play it like I truely feel , Darkon is just
another team, like a bowling league or a book club, the difference being we like to wear armour and beat the snot out of our friends and then pop the top of a
few cold ones and chill with these foremetioned guys and gals....

Anything on Jerry Springer will shame the game. Boo to anyone that thinks having Darkon represented on a such a shit show is a good idea.

Ok seriously...
Who the fuck thinks this is a good idea? It was bad enough that the movie could have made us look like total gits but someone going on Springer with the INTENTION of making us look like complete assholes is the WORST idea for publicity. Don't do it. You will can only make the entire game look bad, thats what Springer does. We may know it is all staged but most viewers think those fights and brawls are real. Don't do it. Seriously...

Oh, man. This is bad. Very bad. If there was concern that Andrew and Luke would make us look bad, at least they have come out a couple of times and played.
There may be individual concerns about the movie, but overall it did not make us look like freaks or losers. I doubt that we will get anything like fair
treatment from Springer's group.
How is there anything about Darkon that is interesting enough for Springer anyway? Are we so much of a freakshow to begin with that we can compete with the usual dregs they parade as entertainment? This makes me very uncomfortable, and think that absolutely no good can come of it. Can anything be done to remove the name Darkon from the episode? The premise still works if you just mention Laconia, for instance. Vistariil of Elidor

I whole heartedly agree with John here. There is nothing positive that could ever come out of going on most talk shows, much less Springer.
Besides, the only good thing is that Springer will hook you up with a social worker, or therapist after they use your public embarrassment to get ratings and cash. If you want to save the embarrassment and just see a therapist, then you could just see me or some other therapist instead. |

This is why i posted and didn't just go and say hey guys guess what I did. My gut told me the same when is heard about it , but then I thought somehow I
might be able to pull it off and not look like a looser. I think Darkon is the shit, but I do not want to make the game look bad.

You are not a typical Springer guest, and I am hoping that Andrew and his girlfriend aren't either... so why would you be interesting to a Springer
audience? Are they going to put Andrew and his girl into a fake trailerpark? Give them illegitimate kids to test the DNA on? Concoct a storyline of blatant
infidelity? What?
Darkon by itself is not interesting enough, so they will more than likely have to make stuff up. That made up stuff is what is going to make you look like a loser. And they can edit footage to make ANYONE look like a loser. Proceed with caution... and good luck. Vistariil of Elidor |

Shapwin thinks it is the best thing since sliced bread to be going on the show. And his girl is the one that made the deal. That is where thay came up with the
" It's me or Darkon skit". I am just a third party to it all and want to be careful not to be the heel of some bullshit.

Then Shapwin is the idiot and not you. At least you have reservations and thought to ask.

Shapwin, if you are reading this: Please do not do the Springer show.
Talk shows like this can only thrive by giving the public a spectacle. They will do everything they can do make Darkon seem freakish, childish, cult like, and maybe even criminal if they can manage it. All of the hard work we've done in interviews prior to this is going to be undone by letting what will no doubt be a strongly negative portrayal be seen by millions. Nothing you can possibly say in the face of that is going to counteract that (and especially not choosing Darkon over her.) When SeeThink wanted to film, one of our main concerns was that they were not just going to make a "Trekkies"-style mocumentary. Allowing Springer to put things in a certain light for the sake of his ratings will only set the organization back a long way, and may actually do significant harm. If enough local property owners, police, country officials, etc. see it, it may make it much harder for us to get permits and permission to have events. Again, I urge you to reconsider. |

R U ON CRACK!?!?!
Think about this dude:
Everyone presented on that show is portrayed in the worst possible way!!! When you watch people on that show,
you think one (or more) of these three things:
How do you thing EVERYONE (INCLUDING DARKONIANS) WHO WATCHES THAT SHOW WILL THINK OF YOU, SHAPWIN???
Jesus just when I think you guys couldn't do ANYTHNING Dumber…Christ!!! You never cease to amaze me with your own stupidity!!! Laconia has always said that all these stunts are done to help Darkon. This action proves that they care not about Darkon, but to further their own dumb ass attempts at the limelight no matter the cost. WTF!?!

I think for the first time in History all of Darkon can agree.
This is a bad idea. Let the Long Winter of the Forzen Hell begin. Shapwin - Don't do it. Do it and you disrespect the game.

personally i could give a shit less what mundane people think about darkonians, especially ones hundreds/thousands of miles away that I will never meet. Im
surprised that any of you care either. Isnt this just a game, between 150-200 "friends" that get together every other week to have some fun? Do you
honestly think there will be some red necked yokel that sees you in McDonald's and says, "Lookie maw, its those homersexual stick waving dummies from
Spranger!"?

Fingers,
You'd be surprised how many people watch those shows. That's why they're still on the air. You'd probably also be surprised how many of the people with whom Darkon has to interact to get permits and permission watches it. ...and how many cops watch it. We can say with certainty that it will not improve our image. We don't know for sure how much harm it will cause, but certainly some, and maybe a lot. In short, doing the show is BAD FOR THE GAME. |

If the theme of the show is "It's Darkon or me!," just by going on it, he'll have made is choice. It's pitiful that someone would taint
all the work that many of us have done in the last few years to make the club more "legitimate."
Hopefully this won't happen. Shafor |

It is my understanding that she makes him choose, and he something, and then he has to fight someone else from Darkon for some reason.
This seems like a really bad idea.

C'mon Shapwin....
Please don't do Springer. As much as it pains me to say this: I agree wholeheartedly with Malkin, Inox, AND Bendore. Unless of course you're gonna do a "Darkonian mercenary captain nailed my mom" episode, in which case I'd be all for it. |
