What the hell? You just bumped a thread posted almost a MONTH ago! What are you thinking? Put this poor thing out of its misery.

Let me be the first to welcome you too the boards! You'll find alot of fun stuff to talk about here! Just follow the rules and you'll make plenty of friends. Oh, try some of the specialized boards, you'll find alot of anime fanatics here (goldmine!). Plus check out the roleplaying section, I think this board can pride itself on a superlative roleplaying venue.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Tical [/i] [B]NO NO NO NO! THAT NEVER SHOULDA HAPPENED TO THE BEUTIFUL COUNTRY OF JAPAN!!!!!!!!! [/B][/QUOTE] What stunning post quality. And you substantiated your answer! Well I guess i should give my rebuttle. I don't consider Japan all that beautiful, some areas are nice, and the blossom trees are gorgeous, but the urban areas are UGH. I've been there, so don't consider me talking out my ***.

To be honest rap and country are the only two forms of music I don't like. I hold nothing against those who do like rap, it's just not my style. I would suggest though trying other forms of music besides rap. My playlist tends to look something like this: 1) Closer- Nine Inch Nails 2) Autumn Leaves- Eva Cassidy 3) Requiem, movement 1 - Mozart 4) Mustang Sally - Buddy Guy 5) Smack my B---- up - Prodigy 6) Let's get it on - Marvin Gaye (OOOOOH YA ;) ) 7) My Tourniquet - Evanescence. As you can see.. i like most styles of music :\ . Oh well, just give these songs a try, you wont regret it!

Good point. I guess there are just too many "what if's" . I mean we could have invaded. Russia could have invaded. There could have been a LOT of casualties on both sides. Perhaps more than the A-Bomb rate, possibly less. Speculating what Russia could or would have done is irrelivent at this point.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by The Original [/i] [B]And Drix made a very good point that the country should be able to be run by citizens, and not neccesaily a seasoned politician. Thumbs up for Drix! [/B][/QUOTE] :grumble: Thanks for the sarcasm. Tell me a seasoned politician that ISNT a citizen and I'll be impressed :P . No, my point is the government was designed so normal people can rotate opinions, so we don't have a king who's opinions rule us all. So you or I could work our way up to a position of influence, then be rotated out of that position, unless you are a Kennedy ;).

I don't mean to sound cynical, but punctuation was created for a reason. As for your post, what i could translate, my feelings are mixed. I think you should keep clean, everyone should. Listen, stop being so concerned about these things, drugs, sex. These things are materialistic and inevitably leading to nowhere. I seriously suggest you grow past all of these people and move on with your life. Consider your future, consider what you want to be AFTER school, and "roll" with that.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Harry [/i] [B]Under this idea they would've kept fighting even after 5 more atomic bombs. Sure they were willing to fight to the end when the war was going on, but as soon the as the Emporer said "We signed a treaty" they would've stopped, which somewhat happened. [/B][/QUOTE] No, under their mentality, despite how stubborn they were, it (luckily) only took two bombs. What's funny is even after the emporer signed the treaty there were accounts of many japanese taking the war upon themselves and still fighting. I'm sure that's what you mean by "somewhat happened", right?

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by The Original [/i] [B]Well GoKents, you seem to have Arnolds back, and that's great. But aren't you a bit skeptical of his political knowledge? No offense meant, but this guy has built his career on body-building and movies like Terminator and Conan the Barbarian. I would question whether he knows what he's doing in the political world since all he's ever done is acting, but then again Reagan was an actor. Maybe I'm just being too cynical. [/B][/QUOTE] In response to this, I belive the country shoudn't necessarily be run by people with "political knowledge" or a "political background". When you think about it, politics have their ups and downs, the more someone has invested into politics, the more likely he is going to spew the same rhetoric that the populous expects. Our gov't is designed so it can be run by citizens. Anyone, with the right ambition and campaign investment should be able to become president, much less governor. I don't think I would hold Arnold's political history against him if he gave legitimate reasons for why he should be governor.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B][color=deeppink] And thank gods for that, any man who believes against abortion has obviously never been 15, pregnant, and alone. [/color] [/B][/QUOTE] "It's funny how the only proprietors of Abortion are those, who have not been aborted themselves." -Ronald Regan. Any woman who belives abortion is right has obviously never been a living being, unborn, and without a choice but to die through fairly gratuitous methods (saline, a dismemberment, things that would make the jews of ww2 shudder). Listen I'm not trying to start an abortion topic here, i'm sure there are many debates already covered in the otaku boards previously. I was just commenting that it was a fairly liberal stance for a "conservative". Just my opinion. :P

Watch the movie "Legend" with tom cruise when he was like 20. It is a movie with faries and a giant demon looking dude. The movie scared the **** out of me and enchanted me at the same time. It's a classic. If you listen carefully, the first goblin in the movie is named Drix, he's really badass, killed a unicorn. So I figured I'd pick up the name. He's even got a wicked little poem he says (i should post that in my sig). Anyway, it was an impulsive on-the-spur moment because I usually go by the handle fat_clown in all the computer games/forums/email services i use (i'm not fat, nor am i a clown; long story).

Honestly, you are going to get a fairly liberal guy. While Arnold is the most conservative in a business sense, he supports abortion and other predominatly liberal opinions. I wouldn't condemn him for that, everyone's opinions can change (I'm conservative and anti-death penalty) , but ABORTION? Well, I'd vote for him over a porn king any day :D. Plus, this doesn't suprise me, I mean.. It is CALIFORNIA here people.

Alright, Here is the character creation example I'm going to give to you, step by step. Sorry about the double post :nervous: ! [B]Step One: Concept. [/B] Lynn want's to join the vampire the masquerade chronicle with her friends! Lynn's first responsibility is to come up with the concept/background of her character. She loves the intrigue and high-society aspect of the Camarilla, and decides that she wants to play a female vampire who rubs elbows and curries favor with the influential Kindred (vamps) and kine (human's , a derogatory term) of the city. Having a flair for the tragic, Lynn decides that her character is the last scion of a once-prominent family that has slowly but inexorably slid into decline. Envisioning a modern twist on the '20s flapper socialite archetype, Lynn also decides that her character is quite keen at business and finance. Clan Ventrue is the obvious choice, but Lynn decides that her character is a Toreador, to add another twist. Only a real crackpot would name his character after himself ( except for maybe Raiha :p ), so Lynn decides that her character goes by the moniker of Veronica Abbey-Roth. Lynn considers Veronica's Nature and Demeanor. She decides that her character is outgoing, amiable, and superficial - all of which hide the cunning deep beneath the surface. Her Demeanor- the face she presents to the world - is Gallant, to reflect an unlife spent largely in Camarilla salons and parties. Lynn decides that Veronica's business acumen necessitates an inner drive to take-charge manner of handling affairs; she chooses Director for the character's Nature. She also sees the opportunity for some excellent role-playing in choosing a headstrong Archetype - imagine how all those influential Kindred with whom she hobnobs will respond to a brash young industry queen! As a Camarilla vampire, Lynn's character defaults to the moral code of Humanity. [B]Step two: Attributes. [/B] Lynn must now prioritize and assign Veronica's Attributes. Social Attributes make the most sense for a primary category, Lynn reasons, as much of her contact with people will be in diplomatic and civil conversation. As Veronica's secondary category, Lynn chooses Mental, reflecting her knowledge and wisdom with matters financial. This leaves Physical Attributes as tertiary, which suits Veronica's concept just fine -she's a lover, not a fighter. Lynn has seven dots to divide among Veronica's Social Attributes. Deciding veronica's quite a looker, Lynn puts three points in Appearance for a trait rating of 4 (remember every category starts with one free point in it). Veronica has quite a gift for getting others to do what she wants -two points go toward her Manipulation Attribute, giving her a score of 3. Veronica's also likable for the most part; Lynn puts the remaining two points into Charisma, giving her a 3 in that Trait. With 5 points to assign to Mental Attributes, Lynn decides Veronica is a savvy, shrewd businesswoman. Putting two points each into Intelligence and Wits gives Veronica scores of 3 in both these Traits. The remaining point goes into Perception, yielding a score of 2. Determining Physical Traits is all that's left to finish Veronica's Attributes. Lynn sees veronica as slim, willowy, and lithe, so she adds nothing to the character's strength, leaving it at 1, and assigns two points to veronica's Dexterity, resulting in a score of 3. Finally, Lynn places the remaining Physical points into Stamina, for a score of 2. [B]Step Three: Abilities[/B] Like Attributes, Abilities must also be prioritized. Lynn decides that veronica is well-versed in talents, nominally familiar with Knowledges, and the least accomplished in Skills. This reflects Veronica's ease with social situations and an aptitude in the cutthroat world of business while still leaving room to refine her graces. With 13 points to spend in Talents, Lynn jumps right in and sinks three points into subterfuge -Veronica's no stranger to smooth-talking underhandedness. Three more points go toward Leadership, as Veronica's guidance keeps her family's company afloat. Two points each go into Expression and Empathy, signifying Veronica's eloquence and feel for people. Lynn assigns one point each to Alertness (the obvious don't make it amid the Darwinian society of the Kindred), Dodge (nor do those who can't get out of the way) and Streetwise (because everyone should know someone who can get things done on the streets). Lynn has nine points to allocate among Veronica's Knowledges, and assigns three points to Finance immediately. Likewise, Veronica receives three points in her Politics Trait, because one must know who's back to scratch. Lynn puts two points in Veronica's Academics score, to represent her general knowledge of the world. The last point Lynn places in Computer, to give Veronica a modern edge over some older, more traditional vampires. Only five points may be assigned to Veronica's Skills at this point, but Lynn sees no immediate need for any more (although she may later choose to improve some traits with her freebies). Not wanting Veronica to be a boor, Lynn assigns two points to the Etiquette Trait - apparently, finishing school paid off. One point goes towards the Drive skill, and the last two points go into Firearms (a woman's got to protect herself) and Stealth (sometimes it's better not to be seen), resulting in scores of one each. [B]Step Four: Advantages [/B] Lynn has now arrived at the part of her character creation that truly makes her character a vampire. She must now figure out Veronica's Advantages, the Traits that distinguish her from the rest of the crowd. First come Veronica's Disciplines, the mystical powers that vampires possess through their unnatural state of existence. Lynn has three points to allocate among Veronica's Disciplines, and , as the character is a Toreador, Lynn may distribute those dots among Auspex, Celerity, and Presence. Veronica is not a very physically inclined character, so Lynn chooses to pass on Celerity. She is, however, more likely to sway the emotions of those around her, so Lynn places two points into Veronica's Presence Discipline. The remaining point goes towards Auspex, granting her preternaturally heightened senses. [note: as discussed before, just assign your points and I'll tell you what your powers do :) ] Veronica's Backgrounds, which she receives five points to purchase, would be best be spent building a power base, according to Lynn's concept. Lynn passes up Mentor entirely (you get this background at 3 points for free, you lucky dogs ;) ), as she sees a bit of a falling out with her sire as part of Veronica's character history (though a mentor need not be a vampire's sire [the vampires progenitor]). she knows that Resources fit veronica's concept nicely, so she allocates four points into that Background. Her last point goes into Retainers: Veronica employs a chauffeur, whom she plans to turn into a ghoul one of these nights, "when she gets around to it." As the last part of defining Veronica?s Advantages, Lynn must assign dots to the character?s Virtues. As Veronica?s moral code is Humanity (everyone?s will be), she has the Virtues of Conscience, Self-Control, and Courage. Veronica is cool and levelheaded; Lynn allocates three points to Self-Control, for a score of 4. Lynn also assigns one point to Conscience, giving the character a rating of 2; Veronica?s not totally heartless, but doesn?t mind doing what?s necessary in order to achieve a goal. The remaining three points go towards Courage, bringing the trait to 4; Veronica is quite sure of herself. [B] Step Five: Finishing Touches [/B] Now Lynn gets to round out her character and add a spark of "unlife." First and foremost, she must figure Veronica?s Humanity and Willpower scores (this is done before any freebie points are added to Virtues). Adding Veronica?s Conscience of 2 and Self Control of 4, Lynn sees that the character?s Humanity score is 6 - she?s no saint. That?s a little more monstrous than Lynn is comfortable with (she wants to role-play Veronica?s damnation, not start out in the hole.. ), so she makes a mental note to dope it up with freebies. Willpower is equal to a character?s courage, so Lynn fills in four points for her Willpower score. Finally, I?ll tell you how much blood you start out with (I?ll roll a d10). (Vampires expend a blood point each night, to wake up). All that remains to do is spend the 15 freebie points that may be used to increase any of the character?s traits. Lynn spends two points to increase Veronica?s Humanity to 7, making her less bestial (at least for now..). Spending another two points Lynn raises Veronica?s Finance ability to 4. Knowing that Veronica will need to network in the financial world, Lynn spends two points on Contacts (old family acquaintances who admire Veronica?s ambition). Two more points go toward raising Veronica?s Willpower to 6 ( she?s determined, but has yet to face any true trials). Lynn would like to purchase an additional Discipline with Veronica?s last Seven points, she asks the Storyteller (me) if her character can have a Tremere lover who taught her rudiments of Thaumaturgy. The storyteller (me) says that Veronica can have a lover if she wants, but rules that no Tremere is likely to teach their secrets of Blood Magic to Veronica at this stage of her unlife. (I?m such a bastard :devil: ) Lynn agrees, and instead purchases a point of Dominate ( a more common discipline.) Because Veronica has 0 points in the Generation background, she notes that Veronica is 13th generation, listing that under the appropriate heading. Although her blood is not so potent as many Kindred?s , Veronica is also less likely to be seen as a threat - or a meal- by power hungry vampires. [B] Character sheet example [/B] Name: Veronica Abbey-Roth Background: Growing up in genteel poverty, in the nadir of her family?s prominence, Veronica determined early on to do everything in her power to build it back up. In the process she met a few of the wrong people, one of whome took a shine to Veronica and Embraced her. Though she knows many people, she hasn?t yet accumulated enough influence over them to be a true power player like the surviving elders of the city. Her ambition is enough to turn a profit, but it seems that attempts to rejuvenate her family name are being stifled by mysterious forces. Precisely who or what is causing these events is a mater of mystery and consternation to Veronica, and she wonders if perhaps her sire or one of his acquaintances is behind them. Veronica maintians her haven (the place where she sleeps) in a converted carriage house at her family?s estate. Her parents, very advanced in age now, never leave the house and have no knowledge of Veronica?s vampiric nature or her nocturnal comings and goings. Her faithful chauffeur Marcus is a skilled driver and knows how to usea pistle and a tire jack with equal precision. Veronica?s money is largely tied up in the estate and the business, but if she liquidated her assets she?d be quite well-off. Not that she?s ever short on cash or credit? Image: Veronica wears a stylish wardrobe of designer sport-s and eveningwear, and always draws looks wherever she goes. Her auburn hair crowns magnificent features, her skin is always soft and glows a bit in the moonlight. The embrace captured the sparkle in her eyes, and veronica?s beautiful vermillion gaze can make any man swallow his words. She carries herself with the poise of a true lady, and never lets her guard down. Her crimson lips hold a perpetual smirk when she finds a moment of solitude. Her bust, while smaller than average, is always perked through her dresses and she casually displays cleaveage at a whim; depending on how hungry she is that night. Her features are of a porcelin doll, pure as the first snowfall , and her grace shines through a Charismatic voice that drips like honey. Inventory: She carries a snub nosed revolver in her handbag, thoughshe?s never yet had occasion to use it. She owns a vintage german sedan that runs quite well. Sire: Demetrius Banks Nature: Director Demeanor: Gallant Clan: Toreador Generation: 13th Apparent age: mid 20?s Embrace (the time which she became a vampire): 1995 (all the players in my chronicle must be from the year 1999, embraced AROUND the same time) Pysical: Strength 1, Dexterity 3, Stamina 2 Social: Charisma 3, Manipulation 3, Appearance 4 Mental: Perception 2, Wits 3, Intelligence 3 Talents: Alertness 1, Dodge 1, Empathy 2, Expression 2, Leadership 3, Subterfuge 3, Streetwise 1 Skills: Drive 1, Etiquette 2, Firearms 1, Stealth 1 Knowledges: Academics 2, Computer 1, Finance 4, Politics 3 Disciplines : Auspex 1, Dominate 1, Presence 2 (remember I?ll PM what abilities are granted to you) Backgrounds: (don?t forget to take mentor at 3 for free!) Contacts 2, Resources 4, Retainers 1: chauffeur Virtues: Conscience 2, Self Control 4, Courage 4 Humanity: 7 (this can increase and decrease depending on how far you slip into damnation.. how easily you lose your grasp on the morality). Willpower : 6 (she can spend 6 temporary willpower points as explained earlier.. maximum of six points, this can be helped with experience.) [B] Final notes [/B] Considering the fact you cannot post for the NPCs, or other characters, you are going to be reliant on me. Don?t worry I?ll be posting FERVERENTLY to keep the chronicle moving. For difficult actions that might require a goal (leaping, firing a gun, trying to work out a stock ploy) just put your action in BRACKETS, i.e. [I] Veronica looks at the disgruntled elder before her, deciding she must face him, she draws her pistol and fires a shot, aiming for the head [/I] Or you could post . [I] Veronica looks at the elder, his blood drenched collar from a messy feeding. ?He must be pumping himself up for a fight?, she thinks letting her hand reach calmly to her purse. ? I suppose we shouldn?t let all that blood go to waste?, she smirks. [I?m going to fire my pistol at him once , aiming for the head] [/I] I?ll work out the rolling and post the results, keep in mind the elder vampire may be able to attack earlier than you and hurt you. Just keep in minds you cannot [I] complete [/I] the actions. I?ll make fights as cinematic as I can, and I think leaving the rolling to myself will add a bit of suspense to the action. Let?s say you want to perform some ambitious task? Like an extended financial deal, where you work the markets for a few days, play them, then draw out your investments at the prime opportunity. In this case, just PM me and I?ll arrange some rolls, I?ll PM you the results and we can discuss how to bring it into the chronicle. Lastly, design your vampire as neonates (recently embraced). Most of you will probably be facing some challenges like where to live, or what the traditions of this vampiric society are. I will be starting this game with a PRELUDE phase, where you will come under the wing of your mentor. The prelude will begin at SUNSET of your last night as a human, how you are embraced is for you to decide. Oh, and you?ll find out why your sire?s aren?t exactly there for you ;) . [url]http://www.white-wolf.com/vampire.html[/url] check this out.. it's the actual rpg i'm borrowing from. You can find alot of info here. Just check out the stuff. Any questions? PM me.

James.. If i didn't belive in god, I think I'd belive in James.

Oh god this is so hard. It's like putting gods against eachother. So much of history and culture owes itself to these greats. I mean I love every single one of them for some reason or another. Beethoven's [I] Pathetique [/I] is one of the most beautiful songs in the history of the world, in my opinion. Mozart's Requiem and Ave Maria are also some of my favorite songs. As someone once said, "The only winner of Napoleon's Campaign into russia was Tchicovski". Listen to his music and I'm sure you could agree ;). But my heart is, deep down, hoplessly romantic. And Chopin takes the cake in this genere. Just playing his Prelude in A minor sends shivers up my spine. All in all, I enjoy being able to listen to any of these composer's works . Classical music has influenced my life and perception of culture. I think it is the most beautiful form of music in existence :).

I was about to post something like this, but discussing composers. I think this belongs in the "music, movies, and TV" section of the boards. So please move your discussion there :) .

Remember it took TWO bombs before Japan swallowed their pride and gave up, the Russians didn't give quite the same insentive ;) .

Ice can decrease tissue inflammation, it increases blood flow to an area and will reduce swelling (blood pooling). I would suggest that if your thumb turns red or swells up. Hold the ice on your skin for about 15 minutes (you can wrap the ice in a thin washcloth/towel so you don't freeze yourself too badly) until the area goes numb (Its going to hurt for a while while your skin numbs), then remove the pack. This will have mild theraputic value and very mild pain removal, but I would just reccomend easing up, bud. If the pain is really bad take tylenol or advil under supervision of your parents, of course. You shouldn't fear carpal tunnel syndrom until you are past your twenties, but if you cause permanent damage, you'll be paying for it in the later years.

I embrace the day I'm going to die. I think when I die it will be god's time for me to go. I don't fear death because I have faith of where I will end up in eternity. I understand the possibility that some of you will question my faith. All I can say is that unless you posess the same faith I feel, you can never truly empathize. I personally enjoy life for more than "the moment". I look forwards to my goals and dreams, i remember good memories. I find that spending most of your time thinking on the moment is a fairly hollow existence. I celabrate the day I'll be joining Jesus at his side, if you find me crying, it will probably be over the infinite profundity of his love. Don't ask me why, just nod your head and move along ;) . Well, that's my 2 cents.

The thumb pains are resulting in the ligaments moving back and forth to allow flexion of the finger become inflamed because of constant friction. Think of the tendon that secures your bone to the surrounding muscle as a tube, and the ligament as a rope through the tube. The tube is just big enough to fit the rope, so as it moves back and forth friction causes inflamation. The ligament swells a bit due to this inflamation, to the point where you can barely move your finger/thumb. You could develop a problem called Carpal Tunnal Syndrom. I would warn you do not take the risk, your joints could be hurting for the rest of your life. Luckily you are young and your body is on overdrive, metabolically speaking, so your tissue can easily fix itself. In 15 years, you'll notice it though. Ease up on the game playing. Take a few hours of break. Pain is an indication that something WRONG is going on. Heed your body's advice and stop what you are doing to it. Change positions, stretch your hands, Cracking knuckles is actually orthopedically good for you. Just take a break before you risk serious complications. And trust me, I'm pre-med :D

I have that way with people. Double D Diago accused me of "stalking" him on another thread. :demon: he got me there.

*grins* :D Well of course, I mean, what's more appealing to the OB target audience than the prospect of porn. Honsestly though, these are all for humor purposes, so take them as you will.
