[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote name='Darren']I was under the impression, Gavin, that it was part of the game. I thought we were supposed to make idle banter in addition to our strategies and voting habits. Not to mention that Sephiroth asked us not to communicate via PM unless we're werewolves... I'm confused.[/QUOTE] Yeah all that is part of the game and every post you make can shift the odds in or out of your favor. But I think Gavin more meant the pointless sort of posts like Tetra's right after his, lol. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote name='Darren']I think that was the point of Ace's post... And sorry if anyone feels like I'm spamming this thread. I'm a bit restless right now and I'm trying to find something to keep me interested... So, if any of you get online, spam the thread with me!!![/QUOTE] Haha, it's not spam this is half the fun of the game! :animesmil [quote name='Ace']I agree with Lrb's dead-end investigation being a little too convenient, plus the fact that he outed himslf so willingly[/quote] It was quite unwillingly actually, if you remember me saying. But it was essential to keep myself alive for the sake of all the civilians. Without the detective you guys are screwed, lol.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Yeah I wasn't going to say anything before but I'm really not convinced Tetra is a werewolf. The logic that she killed Drizzt because he suspected her is kind of flat because that could be a Wolf framing her. I too had suspicions of Ace and his stealthy ways but didn't really want to point any fingers untill I found out more. [b]Lynch:[/b] Ace[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][I]Unfortunately[/I] the person I investigated was also the one who was maimed by Werewolves. Drizzt Do'urden was a Civilian. At least he wasn't the priest. :animedepr[/COLOR][/FONT]

[U] How do I "fight well" and eventually win?[/U] A little bit of it will be based on how well written your post(s) are. Most of it will be based on the creativity of your post and how you killed the boss, though. If you slice off it's head that's great but finding its weakness and using that in your post is much more effective. [u]How do I find a bosses weakness?[/u] While Mini-Bosses don't have weaknesses every single Floor Boss does. This will be revealed secretly in a post while you are fighting the Boss or at the beginning of the fight. It's up to you to pick up on that clue and use it in your post(s). It will be extremely hard to win a Boss fight without exploiting its weakness but still possible.[/QUOTE]

[B][CENTER][SIZE="3"][U]BOSS BATTLES![/U][/SIZE][/B] [B]Floor 1[/B] [/CENTER] [INDENT][COLOR="DimGray"][SIZE="1"]This is a new idea I've had lingering in my head for a while that I've finally decided to put into action. Basically it's a [B]SPAR[/B] between myself and anyone willing to fight me in the form of a boss fight. One person will fight me at a time in the Theater thread and they will only win under certain conditions. It's very possible to win, but you have to figure out how. Once I declare that you win or lose I will take on the next person that signed-up. If you lose you must wait 3 days before you can try to win again and you must sign-up as a new character. After some time passes Boss Battle! Floor 2 will launch and those that have won Floor 1 will be able to sign-up. I will not be the Boss for Floor 2 as I will continue to be the Boss for Floor 1. Another member will be Boss 2. :) If you prove to fight exceptionally well I will come to you about being a boss. I've already chosen a few but there's plenty of spaces available. The idea is to have quite a bit of time between each floor so it's not all rushed. I'm also thinking that every 5 floors anyone can sign-up again to get new people in. If you've won all the previous floors you will get an advantage (like a hint or some armor). The more floors you string the greater the reward but I ensure you it will get harder as the floors progress.[/SIZE][/color] [SIZE="3"][b]Sign-Up![/b][/SIZE] All you have to do to sign-up is post your character defeating the following mini-boss. Each floor will have different characters you can choose to be. These are usually based off of the Boss of that floor. Having more won boss battles under your belt will unlock you better characters to fight with. When you lose as a character you can't be them again. [B]Characters to Choose From for [U]Floor 1[/U][/B] Luigi, Bomberman, and Young Link. If you meet a certain expectation in your Mini-Boss fight you will be able to fight the real Boss as [b]Mario[/b] which will give you an advantage over him. [quote][b]Tower Entrance[/b] - Mini Boss [I]You enter the large tower not fully understanding what you're getting yourself into. You just know there are some bad guys to fight and a bountiful treasure at the top. Not too much of a problem. The big hall you walk into is very old and abandoned. A single staircase leads straight up to a door with sign post above it. It reads "Floor 1." As you approach the stair case a sudden painful yell from behind you startles you. You quickly pivot to see three zombies staring into your flash light. They scream and run towards you.[/I][/quote] Any questions should be directed to the [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?p=826824#post826824][B]underground thread[/B][/url].[/INDENT]

[INDENT][SIZE="2"][FONT="Times New Roman"][B]CHAPTER 6[/B] Jonas left the newly built Pallet Town PokeCenter refreshed and anew. His Pokemon were fully healed and they even shined his Pokeballs! Even if he couldn't use his real name, he could finally go on the Pokemon journey he[I] intended [/I]to go on when he left home. [i]Hmm... I wonder if Professor Oak still has that Pokemon I was going to get.[/i] Jonas thought to himself. He walked to the famous lab and stepped inside. The walls were covered with bookcases and the floor with desks and computers. Scientists bustled around busily. Research papers flew left and right while in the back of the building various chemicals were being mixed and exploded occasionally. What this had to do with Pokemon research, Jonas didn't want to know. In the very back room Jonas spotted Professor Oak talking to an assistant through a window. Jonas ran over and knocked on the door. The assistant Jonas saw in the window opened the door. He was very tall and thin with dainty hands and a wimpish smile. [B]"And you are?"[/B] the assistant asked. [B]"Me? I'm uh.."[/B] Jonas wasn't sure whether he should use his real name or not. Seeing as it was the Professor, he decided to use Jonas. Just this once. [B]"Right,"[/B] the assistant straightened his back and pushed up his glasses. [B]"You're a few days late. In fact, we were told you'd gone missing..."[/B] The aid moved out of the way for Jonas to enter and shut the door behind him. Oak looked up from his desk. [B]"Jonas!"[/B] he exclaimed. [B]"Why it's good to see you! I was so worried!"[/B] The Prof. got up from his desk and walked over to give Jonas a firm handshake with a large genuine smile. Oak glared at his assistant. [B]"Leave us."[/B] [B]"Yes, sir."[/B] the aid replied grumpily. As soon as the door shut Oak mumbled. [B]"I hate that guy."[/B] He motioned for Jonas to sit down in the guest chair as he sat in his arm chair. [B]"Professor the weirdest thing happen--"[/B] [B]"I know, boy."[/B] Oak leaned forward and steepled his hands. There was a few moments of silence. Jonas shrunk down into his seat. [B] "I probably look really serious right now, I love it!"[/B] Oak laughed and leaned back in his chair.[B] "I've started steepling my hands a lot recently and people just really respect you more. It's crazy. But back to business..."[/B] Oak took a small pen from his pen holder and took the lid off revealing a key within the pen. He used the pen key to open the bottom drawer of his desk. He took the bottom of the drawer out to reveal a secret compartment with a small black box. He took the small black box and closed the drawer. He then opened the black box and dumped out a memory stick. He plugged it into his computer and the screen immediately loaded the application. A timeline of the entire history of the world popped up. There were red marks every 1000 years. The application was entitled "The Unavoidable Truth." [B]"Since before we began recording time there has been a natural Pokemon occurrence every 1000 years that very few people know about and most refuse to believe in. Those of us that actually know a thing or two about Pokemon call it The Rehappening. On this day the line between good and evil inside of a Pokemon is at its weakest point allowing for the darkest of deeds. This day has sparked some of the fiercest wars in Pokemon history because of us, humans. Horrible people corrupted their Pokemon on this day and the amount of evil in the world threatened to corrupt everyone in existence [i]every time it happened[/i]."[/B] he stated. [B]"Well, obviously it doesn't matter because we're here right now, right?"[/B] Jonas asked. This all seemed too blown up to be true, then again he did just come from the future. [B]"Right. This is because lawful good Pokemon with the purest of hearts can sense this day coming. When they know the Rehappening is approaching, all the Pokemon with pure hearts in the world gather to one trainer who will use them to fight off the evil."[/B] Oak said. He looked into Jonas' eyes, hoping he understood. [B]"So... I've just got to get 6 Pokemon with pure hearts and pound the darkness on this special day?"[/B] Jonas said understandingly. [B]"This hasn't phased you at all... And no, it's not that easy. Giovanni is behind all of this, I know it. There is barely any Pokemon in this world with pure hearts now and Giovanni found and hid three of them."[/B] Oak leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh. Jonas thought intensely for a few seconds then jumped up from his chair. [B]"I've got them!"[/B] Oak sat up and stared at the young trainer. Was he daft? [B]"On my way to Pallet Town I encountered Dialga. He brought me to the future. A horrible, torn future full of death and corruption. There I found three Pokeballs and soon after I ended up back here."[/B] Jonas finished. He was quite sure that was correct. Oak looked impressed and thought about it. He smiled. [B]"That cunning devil. Giovanni sent the Pokemon to the future! But it seems the good of Pokemon is stronger than that. Let's see them we must check!"[/B] Oak shouted excitedly. He took out a small device from his top drawer and turned it on. Jonas let out his three Pokemon. [CENTER][img]http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/a/a1/Spr_4d_081_s.png[/img] [img]http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/4/4d/Spr_3e_231.gif[/img] [img]http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/f/f5/Spr_3f_109.png[/img][/CENTER] Oak examined all three of them thoroughly with the device. As it passed each Pokemon a red light on the top blinked profusely confirming Jonas' story. [B]"Remarkable!"[/B] Oak tossed the device on the table and picked up the Magnemite to examine it. [B]"This Magnemite is a shiny, a rare miscoloured version of a Pokemon. Look at its black magnets!"[/B] At this remark the Magnemite quickly zapped the Professor who instantly let go. [B]"AAH!"[/B] he yelped. Jonas chuckled and returned the Pokemon. The smell of Koffing lingered in the air. [B]"So? What did your thing say?"[/B] he asked curiously. [B]"Oh yes, they are most definitely [I]pure[/I] of heart."[/B] Oak said almost sarcastically. [B]"You must go and find the other three Pokemon with pure hearts! Only with them will you prevail. I'm afraid I have nothing for you but this device. When the light blinks while pointing it at a Pokemon it means that Pokemon has a pure heart. You won't come across many but try for every Pokemon you see. Seeing as you've got the [COLOR="Sienna"]Ground[/COLOR], [COLOR="Indigo"]Poison[/COLOR] and [COLOR="Yellow"]Electric[/COLOR] Pokemon, the other three you're looking for will be [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Water[/COLOR], [COLOR="Green"]Grass[/COLOR] and [COLOR="Red"]Fire[/COLOR]." [/B] Oak sat down in his chair and steepled his hands on his desk. [B]"We happen to know that the Fire Pokemon you're looking for lies in Victory Road so you'll have to collect all 8 badges if you're to get him. Good luck, Jonas."[/B] he said. Jonas bowed before him. [B]"Thank you, Oak. You've been immensely helpful. I will see you again."[/B] and Jonas turned around, leaving the room. Leaving the building was a whole different feeling. The open sky before him and fresh air blowing gave him high hopes of his adventure to come. [i]Now what should I call myself...[/i][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]I have an interactive question for you guys!

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote][B]Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning[/B] (officially abbreviated as [B]WAR[/B]) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy setting. It was developed by Mythic Entertainment and simultaneously released in North and South Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand on September 18, 2008. The game revolves around the continual worldwide conflict that the Warhammer Fantasy setting is known for, and the game is geared toward ongoing, constant war laced with dark humor.[/quote] [center][IMG]http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/2932/warhammeronlineageofrecsc2.png[/IMG][/center] WAR was built up to be the next "WoW-killer" which is kind of a shame because that caused a lot of people to have ridiculous expectations about the game when it was really just thriving to be a good, polished MMO. And that's what it is. Warhammer is really a fresh of breath air for me. I've played WoW lots and about several other MMOs in the past but there really hasn't been much in the market for a while now. Until now... Everything in the game will feel very familiar, yet different. There's lots of innovation (especially with "Public Quests" and the Tome of Knowledge) that makes it clear the game was built from the ground up. I know there are quite a few MMORPG lovers out there and I'm really inviting you to join WAR with my friend and I. I know Matt will be getting it eventually as well. Unfortunately there is no demo or free trial (you do get the first month free) you can play but I assure you this game is worth every penny.

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Artemis ignored the squabbling between his former comrade and the Acolyte as he put his robe on. He reached into the pocket of the robe and sure enough his dagger still laid hidden on the inside. [i]Perfect.[/i] "Now," Artemis started. Usually when he spoke he had something important to say and he was the oldest so all but Sasuki looked at him. "The reason any of us are even here and are able to seek vengeance or find lost loved ones is because of this man. If you choose to return the favor with disrespect then I suggest you rethink your plan a little." There was a short silence before Sasuki decided to voice her opinion. "And what makes you mister know it all? How do you know this man can even be trusted?" she stated. It was a good point to bring up but it only frustrated Artemis more. "[B]Because I have spent the past few centuries waiting in eternal damnation for this moment of resurrection and I will not allow the foolish acts of you children screw it up![/B]" he yelled thunderously. The cave walls shook and dark energy emanated from Artemis' hands. "Fine, but I'm not following his orders. I do what I want." "Fine." Artemis scoffed. He knew that would be the best he'd get from Sasuki and it was enough to get by. He looked outside the cave as it began to rain. "Now, there is a boy who knows of our return and he must be maimed. I believe I will do the honor. I need to feel a little younger, anyway..." and with that Artemis darted out of the cave. It wasn't hard to find him. The meat bag was clumsily running through the forest nearby. When he stopped to take a breather, Artemis appeared before him. The boy fell on his butt in shock and stared at Artemis with horror. "Are you... one of the others?" the boy asked. There was fear in his voice but not as much as Artemis had wished. Sasuki had given the boy hope. [I]Despicable[/I]. "Skip the chat, just give me your youth!" with that Artemis lunged his hand towards the boy. He screamed with agony as his very living spirit was ripped from his body and transferred into Artemis. "Ah! The youth! It feels so refreshing!" Artemis' eyes beamed around the forest with a new found hunger for [I]more[/I] but nobody was around. Disappointed he trekked quickly back to the cave looking a few years younger...[/COLOR][/FONT]

Now, Korey, if you don't mind before I use your banner I'd like to request a few changes. First I'd like it to be a lot smaller width and height-wise. I'm really not a fan of huge banners for some reason.

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Sounds like a fun side quest to throw in there. If we really don't want to stray from the main plot then you could always have Izanami leave the group for a tiny bit.

[INDENT][FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][B][U]After Death[/U][/B] The minute Artemis' throat was slit and his skin went cold his tangled spirit left his earthly body and descended to the fires of hell. There he laid dormant for a few years before his spirit was strong enough to become a lesser demon. Over the years Artemis fantasized being resurrected. He was well-respected in hell and eventually became a very powerful demon but never was he skilled enough to escape the damned place. The shards was the only way... Artemis always wondered why he was the only one of the band to go to hell. He was told by other demons that the spirits of his comrades [I]did[/I] lay dormant but didn't have the practice to actually control themselves in that state. Sometimes he wished he was dormant with them, not having to live out this endless torture. A few hundred years passed when finally hope reached Artemis' ears. Everyone and their mother in hell had begun talking about a possible resurrection of the Band of Seven. Apparently a mortal was attempting to retrieve the shards and bring them back. Since the day he found out, Artemis tracked the Acolyte's progress eagerly. He watched him so much that he felt as if he knew him. And finally the day of new life for Artemis came. The chanting began and Artemis felt a tug at his soul. He gladly allowed the tug to take over and everything went blank as his spirit rose to his former self. [U][B]Reborn[/B][/U] Artemis rose from the ground and opened his eyes. In front of him stood the very Acolyte he'd been watching for a century. Noticing he was the first to awaken and his body was still healing he took the time to make conversation with the man. [B]"So you are the famous Acolyte. There's been a lot of talk about you down below."[/B] Artemis said with a smirk. He was arrogant but sociable. [/COLOR][/FONT][/INDENT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]I was wondering if anyone could make me a banner and/or avatar of the game "Mirror's Edge."

I'm currently writing a fan fiction for Pokemon which I aim to finish within 2 years. I'm going to submit my current avatar and banner for shits and giggles.

I'm also playing Mirror's Edge (which I think I will own pretty soon!) and Left 4 Dead. If you haven't played Left 4 Dead in a while go play it now. Trust me. A friend of mine and his girlfriend are working with me on a sort of online sketch and we've got the introduction done. 2 years from now we [i]better[/i] have some damn episodes done! Here's the intro: [CENTER][youtube="Prototype"]KU2CvXDxZIU[/youtube][/CENTER] And I believe that's all. I really hope I'm in College by now because I have absolutely no idea what I want to do for a living. v__v[/FONT][/COLOR]
