JET is now Open. I have fixed up some spots, but please be active guys. We seriously need it. Or JET will close again.
March 15th
JET has closed down temporarily. Due to the lack of RP, Romeo and I are going to fix the site up a bit. If you really want to help JET, please tell everyone you know about it. Verbal advertisements and site advertisements would be a huge help. The faster you advertise, the faster JET will open up. Thanks guys.
- Kat and Romeo.
Febuary 21st
Well, we have 12 members now and I guess that is a success. We are still lacking RPing, and it is very important that new members read the rules. Hopefully after we have about 20 members the rping will go up some. Thanks guys.
- Katalina
Well, this is a new start for JET, since we are a brand new, and still young site. I have high hopes for this site, so I hope you all are gonna advertise so people can join us. I know I will. I am still trying to pick 4 more co admins, and 2 global mod and 2 mod. All of these spots are important, and even if your a beta, you may not be part of our staff. Even though the Betas are the second highest ranking member, please do not beg for a spot. There are 2 main betas in each Gang, and they will be the co admins. There will be one moderator assigned to each gang to make sure everything is tip top shape. Me and Romeo are in charge, so any HUGE concerns should be PMed to us. Thanks, and I hope you all have fun here!
Season
Winter is coming to a close, and even though it is still pretty chilly, the flowers are starting to bloom. Expect a lot of rain.
A month.
A year.
All this time has passed, and you can still hear the screams, the yowls. You can smell the fear, the blood, the anger and disloyalty of the rather pointless massacre.
The cats were leaving one gang to the next, smuggling their loved ones away from the chaos, the blood. No feline could sleep peacefully as the time dragged onwards with all the raiding of the camps that were miscellaneously placed anywhere, keeping boundaries strong.
The beginning of this massacre, this war, was simply because Katalina and Romeo were fighting, only amongst themselves. Romeo was the first to strike, that camp was his, too good for the sharks damn hides. He sent his warriors to destroy them, kill them all at once so this stupid dispute could be over with. But they were defeated, rather easily actually, the sharks seemed to know this was coming. As a sign of her fury, Katalina gave Romeo quite the scar on his face, perfectly vertical across his left eye. This would go on forever if it had to. The sharks would never surrender their territory, and the lions would never give up.
But the Sharks were strong. They had won the first battle. But it wasn't over yet.
For more punishment, Katalina gave them the downtown; smoke and fires, most areas covered in blood and rubbage, while the sharks slept comfortably among thick boxes and deserted apartment homes. This war was never over, and would continue as long as Romeo and Katalina lived on.
...but how long would they live, with this hate in their hearts?

The Tiger, the Brahman, and the Jackal « Thread Started on Mar 3, 2009, 4:33am »
Once upon a time, a tiger was caught in a trap. He tried in vain to get out through the bars, and rolled and bit with rage and grief when he failed.
By chance a poor Brahman came by. "Let me out of this cage, oh pious one!" cried the tiger.
"Nay, my friend," replied the Brahman mildly, "you would probably eat me if I did."
"Not at all!" swore the tiger with many oaths; "on the contrary, I should be for ever grateful, and serve you as a slave!"
Now when the tiger sobbed and sighed and wept and swore, the pious Brahman's heart softened, and at last he consented to open the door of the cage. Out popped the tiger, and, seizing the poor man, cried, "What a fool you are! What is to prevent my eating you now, for after being cooped up so long I am just terribly hungry!"
In vain the Brahman pleaded for his life; the most he could gain was a promise to abide by the decision of the first three things he chose to question as to the justice of the tiger's action.
So the Brahman first asked a pipal tree what it thought of the matter, but the pipal tree replied coldly, "What have you to complain about? Don't I give shade and shelter to every one who passes by, and don't they in return tear down my branches to feed their cattle? Don't whimper--be a man!"
Then the Brahman, sad at heart, went further afield till he saw a buffalo turning a well-wheel; but he fared no better from it, for it answered, "You are a fool to expect gratitude! Look at me! Whilst I gave milk they fed me on cotton-seed and oil-cake, but now I am dry they yoke me here, and give me refuse as fodder!"
The Brahman, still more sad, asked the road to give him its opinion.
"My dear sir," said the road, "how foolish you are to expect anything else! Here am I, useful to everybody, yet all, rich and poor, great and small, trample on me as they go past, giving me nothing but the ashes of their pipes and the husks of their grain!"
On this the Brahman turned back sorrowfully, and on the way he met a jackal, who called out, "Why, what's the matter, Mr. Brahman? You look as miserable as a fish out of water!"
The Brahman told him all that had occurred. "How very confusing!" said the jackal, when the recital was ended; "would you mind telling me over again, for everything has got so mixed up?"
The Brahman told it all over again, but the jackal shook his head in a distracted sort of way, and still could not understand.
"It's very odd," said he, sadly, "but it all seems to go in at one ear and out at the other! I will go to the place where it all happened, and then perhaps I shall be able to give a judgment."
So they returned to the cage, by which the tiger was waiting for the Brahman, and sharpening his teeth and claws.
"You've been away a long time!" growled the savage beast, "but now let us begin our dinner."
"Our dinner!" thought the wretched Brahman, as his knees knocked together with fright; "what a remarkably delicate way of putting it!"
"Give me five minutes, my lord!" he pleaded, "in order that I may explain matters to the jackal here, who is somewhat slow in his wits."
The tiger consented, and the Brahman began the whole story over again, not missing a single detail, and spinning as long a yarn as possible.
"Oh, my poor brain! oh, my poor brain!" cried the jackal, wringing its paws. "Let me see! how did it all begin? You were in the cage, and the tiger came walking by--"
"Pooh!" interrupted the tiger, "what a fool you are! I was in the cage."
"Of course!" cried the jackal, pretending to tremble with fright; "yes! I was in the cage--no I wasn't--dear! dear! where are my wits? Let me see--the tiger was in the Brahman, and the cage came walking by--no, that's not it, either! Well, don't mind me, but begin your dinner, for I shall never understand!"
"Yes, you shall!" returned the tiger, in a rage at the jackal's stupidity; "I'll make you understand! Look here--I am the tiger--"
"Yes, my lord!"
"And that is the Brahman--"
"Yes, my lord!"
"And that is the cage--"
"Yes, my lord!"
"And I was in the cage--do you understand?"
"Yes--no--Please, my lord--"
"Well?" cried the tiger impatiently.
"Please, my lord!--how did you get in?"
"How!--why in the usual way, of course!"
"Oh, dear me!--my head is beginning to whirl again! Please don't be angry, my lord, but what is the usual way?"
At this the tiger lost patience, and, jumping into the cage, cried, "This way! Now do you understand how it was?"
"Perfectly!" grinned the jackal, as he dexterously shut the door, "and if you will permit me to say so, I think matters will remain as they were!"
