Gary vandalizes school property, nearly burns down the gym, lies to the headmaster, and turns the cliques against each other to get Jimmy expelled.
He then incites a MASSIVE riot amongst the student body, leading to serious injuries throughout the place, ties up the freakin headmaster, expels several students for no good reason, sends more into therapy, and attempts to kill Jimmy.
So what does Crabblesnitch do? He expels him. He just expels him! He should have called his parents, and turned him over to be arrested for life for pulling that kind of shit! So here I am thinking, he's just going to go to another school and try to take that over. I guess Gary wasn't kidding when he said that the headmaster still liked him after all that.

Bully 1 Discussion / prefects

He must be talking about the bottle rocket launcher. To answer his question, I believe it's possible to own every single prefect that comes your way, although I have not done this yet.

The build-up to the fight was overly dramatic, I must admit. Just why did the bells start to fall? But hey, it's Rockstar.

Anti-Bully / Does Thompson ever quit?
« on: October 23, 2006, 06:04:07 PM »
See, this is where their half-assed logic bites them.
“For a young kid who’s been relentlessly tormented, afraid to go to school, socially isolated, the game provides a kind of comfort: `Yes! This guy gets back at them!’ …the more they play, the more the neural pathways in the brain connect violence to pleasure.”
The way I see it, if a kid that has been described above plays this game, then he will indeed find pleasure in exacting revenge. But if he doesn't get back at the virtual bullies, which are solid representations of regular bullies, who WILL he get back at? Answer me that, hippies...

Anti-Bully / Jack's getting jacked...

Looks like his little temper tantrum with the judge got him in some hot water.
"Thompson to be accused of contempt?"
Take-Two lawyers reportedly ask that the incendiary anti-game attorney be brought up on charges related to his outburst following a judge's ruling on Bully.

For years, Jack Thompson has been famous--and infamous--for his own personal brand of heated rhetoric. Often using biblical references and the odd bit of apocalyptic language, the Miami-eara Attorney has called for the banning of numerous games, including the Sims 2 and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The latest title to earn Thompson's ire is Bully, Rockstar Games' critically acclaimed adventure game which follows a teenage trouble-maker through the travails of boarding school. Earlier this month, Thompson tried to have sales of the game, which has sparked controversy for its depictions of teenager-on-teenager violence and boy-on-boy heavy liplocks, halted on legal grounds.
As part of his efforts to halt sales of Bully, Thompson petitioned Miami Judge Ronald Friedman to view the game before it went on sale last week. However, when the judge approved the game for sale, Thompson became angry, accusing the judge of "smiling" as he approved the sale of a game which would inspire teenagers to commit acts of violence as extreme as murder.
Now, it appears Thompson's sharp words to Judge Friedman may land him in hot legal water. According to the blog GamePolitics.com, lawyers for Rockstar Games parent Take-Two Interactive are asking that Thompson be held in contempt of court for his comments to Judge Friedman.
Lawyers from the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, law firm Blank Rome, which Thompson has publicly accused of organizing a conspiracy against him personally, have reportedly filed a "Petition for Order to Show Cause" against Thompson. If granted, the petition would compel Thompson to appear in Friedman's court to explained why he shouldn't be held in contempt of court--a charge that could carry a hefty fine and imprisonment of several months if Thompson were convicted.
While potentially serious, no contempt charges have yet been leveled at Thompson. However, that has not stopped the attorney from attacking Take-Two in a flurry of e-mails sent out to media outlets. "The motion to show cause filed by defendant Take-Two is a transparent, panicked attempt to cover up the misconduct, including the fraudulent misrepresentations to the public and to this Court, by its employees and its counsel, Blank Rome," Thompson said in an e-mail.
"If this court in any fashion proceeds toward issuing a show cause order, given its utter baselessness and the bad faith goo in which it slithers, then Thompson will add whatever judge should do so as a defendant in the aforementioned federal civil rights action," he said, referring to the case he brought to halt Bully's sale. (Emphasis in the original.) "Plaintiff has seen arbitrariness from judges before in his thirty years of practicing law, but nothing close to this. If the federal judiciary must restrain this Court and punish it, then so be it."

Anti-Bully / jack thompson makes me mad
« on: October 20, 2006, 01:47:27 PM »
Yeah, but Jack doesn't know that, does he? If you were to punch him over hatred, he would come to two conclusions.
-You are a gamer.
-You punched someone in the face over game controversy.
He can use that, you know. No need to give the man any actual ammo.

Where were you when Fable came out, man? THERE WAS GODDAMN MALE INTERCOURSE!
You can't single out like that. Complain about something, and you have to include the extremes too.
