[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]It's too bad it's restricted. Oh well, I'm seeing it tommorow with some friends regardless. This makes me the first one on OtakuBoards to see it (basically)! I will report back. *salutes*[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma][quote name='Boo][size=1']Nice one, but the quote you used for me was a bit mean.

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Unfortunately we have a mishap here. And it's with Mongoose's submission (which I'm sure all of you guys have seen). The picture is great (though I won't say any more than that yet). However, there is one problem. The rules of the round clearly state the following. [quote]The picture must be the top layer. You cannot do anything to the picture. No opacity changing, no moving, no cropping. No nothing.[/quote] Part one (Delta) has broken these rules. There is blue ontop of the original picture (the second building), there is pink on top of the first and there is text and sheep along the bottom of the buildings. Now I won't penalize you for this, but hopefully you've saved the file as .PSD so it can be fixed. As for the missing people problem, I'll let them stay missing for another day and if they still don't show up, skip over them. If after that you're piece is done and just needs their part, I will get someone to replace them in the tournament. But sakurasuka, I think you can just go ahead and start your piece now if you like. [b]EDIT:[/b] And by the way, I am not impressed at all with these missing people. This is just ridiculous. There's no reason why they haven't come online yet since I'm assuming if they had gone on vacation they would have said so. Unless something was wrong with their computers, I will be pissed. *mumbles on as he leaves*[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Bombu][color=darkred']As for the Martial Artist, I'd imagine that it's just another name for a Monk.[/color][/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Except for Monk is also mentioned in the list of classes that Sandy posted. ^_~ Not sure if this is what you meant, but Martial Artist is probably just like an advanced Monk or something. Like Thief and Assassin. And thanks for the links, Tatsu. They've really got me excited.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Aaryanna][COLOR=SeaGreen']I don't mind, I would have done the same. ^_^ I'm just glad it's working again. I've already started on my part so hopefully I'll have it up really early tomorrow. I plan on getting up early to make sure I can get it to everyone as soon as possible. Course if I work really hard I might even have it finished tonight. I'll do my best. ^_^[/COLOR][/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Make sure it matches Delta's! ^_~ Sorry to say, Syn, that this was probably the only chance you'll get. Unfortunately you just didn't stop by in time. Ah well, there's always next... [strike]year[/strike] time! [B][CENTER]++++++++++[/CENTER][/B] Well the deadline is coming fast. In approximately 4 hours and 10 minutes all submissions should be posted. Are any of you even close to being done? ;) Don't rush yourselves. I would rather have a late entry that's amazing then an on-time entry that sucks (for this round anyway). Alhough I admit that getting a piece in early would be a nice surprise. >.>"[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma][quote name='Sandy]The jobs are mostly familiar from the original as well, but I think there's a few new ones thrown in. The magical jobs are: [B]Black Mage, White Mage, Red Mage, Invoker, Magus, Devout, Scholar, Summoner, Geomancer, Sage[/B]. The physical jobs are: [B]Warrior, Thief, Monk, Knight, Dark Knight, Viking, Dragoon, Bard, Ranger, Ninja, Martial Artist[/B']. So there appears to be a total of 21 different jobs available for all four characters.[/quote] Invoker, Magus, Devout, Scholar, Geomancer, Sage, Viking and Martial Artist are all new Final Fantasy jobs to me. And although they all seem pretty easy to guess what the jobs are, I'd like for someone to explain to me what these foreign classes are for. *needs to play Tactics and actually beat it* [quote name='Sandy]Sigh, maybe I'll one day own a DS and will be able to play this game... *returns to his [I]ancient[/I'] GBA SP with FF IV Advance*[/quote] I know that feeling. *throws away his even more ancient GBA and plays Fluffers, his DS Lite*[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]It's screaming. It's supposed to only come out when you're surprised/scared, not as a way of scaring. Seriously, I realize you don't want to hear this, but I'll speak anyway. If you played screamo to someone who had never heard it before, they'd think the singer was being hurt or something. And that's how it should be. So if you want to learn how to scream, get one of your friends to torture you or something. >_>"[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Boo][size=1][b]Question:[/b'] Is it possible to change the order of the team, in case of inactivity? [/size][/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Yeah, Katana gave me all the details. I really don't mind at all, and if Aaryanna doesn't show up by the deadline I'll let Syn take her place in the tournament and give you guys an extra 4 days.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]The one that is a link in Dessie's first post. >_>" And now I lose. Thanks a lot. .__.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma][quote name='Delta']Ah, how do we know who's Member #1, 2, etc? Also, our mascot looks like a cactus-type Pokemon. Love it.[/quote] It's the order of your names on the team graphic. I mentioned this in the Battle Threads. >:O (Yeah, I think I just googled "[url=http://www.mongoose-racing.com/borders/mongoose-a.gif]mongoose[/url] logo" or something...) [quote name='Ezekiel']I'm a little disappointed that we have to have a set area of pixels to work in. Don't you think that'll make our piece far less artistic and make it look like it was done by separate artists? I thought the point was to work as a team. For example, Retri is fantastic with typography while my speciality is bright, contrasting backgrounds. I thought we would have been allowed to work with each other?s strengths to make a complete piece.[/quote] You're disappointed. Jamie, I don't think I could have made this round any more team-oriented than I already did, hah. This will take immense cooperation between team members (get together and chat with them!). You should see what Team Wolf has been doing. And if I didn't give you a set amount of pixels to work within then it wouldn't have been assured that each member got the same amount of work space. [quote name='Ezekiel']Four days for four people in different time zones to complete a graphic? One day's already gone and I don't know if Retri's even seen our thread. Don't you think you're pushing us a bit with that?[/quote] Yeah, I'll admit that four days is pushing it, but I'm really not that concerned with the date of entry. If it's a few days late, I won't care. It's like renting a game, if you bring it in late you don't have to buy the game, just pay a late fee. :) [quote=Katana]I'm also confused with the whole "four days" thing. Some people count differently...trust me...and some of us live in totally different time zones. Boo's in the Netherlands, for example, and whenever it's 5:00pm for me, it's midnight for him. (I live in the central time zone.) My request would be for an exact date and an exact time - ie, August 13th at 11:00pm Eastern Time or something. (Midnight can also be tricky. X3) [/quote] I think that four days is much more accurate. How about this? Four days from the date that the thread was created. That would be August 16th, 5:40pm EST. But like I've already said, I'm not strict on the entry date. [b]EDIT:[/b] P.S. Jamie, he's seen the thread. How do you think I got the title of the thread changed from "OtakuBoards Worm Tournament - Sign Ups!" to "[OBWT] Underground"? ;P[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]These little game thread seem to be popping up everywhere. Although this has relevancy to Boo's thread, it's a lot different. With all these game threads, I think it would be neat if instead of just "spamming" up the Otaku Lounge, there were a completely seperate forum in the Prefecture. I'm sure there would be enough game threads out there to keep it alive, and you could even make it a no-post-count zone, allowing for game threads that involve a lot less words (like the scramble thread). Thoughts?[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Honey is much appreciated, Zeke. Anyway, this next piece is more of an advertisement than a piece of art. But I like it a lot anyways so I've decided to post it (it can be found [url=http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/2401/comingsooncopyhc2.jpg]here[/url]). I realize that the top left character is all pixely around the edges. Any ideas on how to fix that? [B][CENTER]++++++++++++++[/CENTER][/B] Oooh, yes. I love this new pattern sakurasuka taught me how to use. It's freaking sweet. [center][img]http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/3892/bangcopyle4.jpg[/img][/center][/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]You know, if you guys want you can just do all your pieces seperately and then just hand them in (in order) to me to put under the picture. If that's easier. ;) [b]EDIT:[/b] Also, I refurbished the team graphics. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Alright, I beat the game a few days after I rented (as I had predicted I would) and I'm still going back to collect coins. The game is awesome. However I thought that I should post a few secrets you may or may not know about. The first one is the dancing enemies. Everytime the background music goes "Bah!", some of the enemies do a little dance move. The Koopa Troopas pause and look at the screen, the Goombas jump (and power-ups such as the Fire Flower jump aswell). I thought this was a neat little addition. Secondly would be a glitch I [i]just[/i] discovered a few minutes ago. It has to do with the jumping enemies in W2-5. If you manage to break only the boxes on top of the question box (I did this by jumping quickly on and off of one while Super Big Mario) you can see their real faces. A small black cube with two lime green eyes. Now I may be wrong, but that doesn't look much like the real face. I think it's a little booboo.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Well there's always this little rivalry going on between snakes and mongooses. I think they kill eachother more than anything. Anyway, the battle threads are up. Any questions can be asked here.[/FONT][/COLOR]

I'm going to give you a picture to use in your piece of art, and working collaboratively, the four of you will need to make the piece the best. This may be a little confusing, so I've made a detailed example. Click [url=http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/7331/round1ex1copyce1.jpg]here[/url] and then [url=http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/8827/round1ex2copyqb1.jpg]here[/url]. The winning team will be decided by myself, Dragon Warrior and The Boss. So work hard to impress us. This round will take a lot of conversing between team members I would think. And although the losing team won't be knocked out, the winning team will still get an advantage for the next round. And that is that the next round will be a 2 vs 1. That's 2 from a winning team versus 1 from a losing team. But White! That leaves four losers! Yes, yes it does. That's why the team that comes in fourth place (the three judges will decide which team did the abosolute worst) will be the four members split between the winning teams, and the team that comes in third will just have a 2 vs 2 battle. So! Onto the graphic that you need to start with.

[quote name='Split Keyblader']So then Des created spam!!! He fell into a trap. So he shold get a warning. This whole thread shows that even the admin abuses hias power.[/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Don't worry, I've already reported [strike]one of your[/strike] multiple posts in this thread. :) And I wouldn't call it abuse of power. This thread has been fun for everyone, moderators and members alike. And that's what it is, a fun game. I just think it's gone on long enough, hah. Besides, Des could rewrite the rules to suit him if he wanted. Who cares? .__.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Mr. Maul][size=1][color=DimGray] So I call shotgun on [b]drummer[/b]. [/color][/size][/QUOTE] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Ah, but then there's the competition. You'll have to outdrum myself if you want in on [i]this[/i] band. So I'd also be interested in drums, as I already play in 2 bands with drums (one of which has had about a 300 person audience).

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Yes! Hair! My hair is probably the best guy hair around here. I always keep it clean (Because I [i]hate[/i] greasy hair.

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Mask wiped some blood from his mouth and backed away from Dark, who was standing a few feet away from him. They both stared at eachother through the silence, waiting for the other to make the first move. This was to be Dark's que. He charged forward, hands at his hips as if his intention was to headbutt Mask. Mask just stood, waiting for a fist or foot to raise, but it didn't. Mr. Dark [i]actually[/i] headbutt him. And it hurt like hell! The Mask went soaring through the air and hit the ground hard. Dark laughed and walked towards the scrawny man, picking him up by his shirt. He punched him across the face and through him across the deserted street, making hit a wall. Mask went unconcious. [quote][color=#777777]"Hey! Thilan!" said a feminine voice. Thilan, aged 6, stood up onto his feet blinking his eyes a few times to catch his surroundings. He was sitting in his backyard and his sister Andrea was sitting on her knees infront of him with a ragged cloth dipped in water. She was wiping blood from his eyebrow. "What happened, sis'?" he asked. She sat back on her feet and smiled at her brother. "You fell out of the tree trying to impress Cadalin," she said, giggling. "She's gone now." Thilan stood up on his feet and took the rag from his sister, pressing it against his eyebrow himself. "I sware, one day I'll be strong enough to do anything. I'll be wanted for being so darn awesome!" he yelped, throwing a fist into the air. His sister just laughed.[/COLOR][/quote] When Mask awoke, Dark was just about to throw another punch at him. He slid down the wall and wrapped his legs around Dark's feet, swaying them to the left to trip him. Since the move was so unexpected, it worked and Dark fell on his back. Mask slammed his foot in Dark's stomache and backed away, letting him stand up. "Let's have ourselves a real fight." he said. "You ready, then?" Dark said, wiping some sweat from his forehead. "I'm ready."[/FONT][/COLOR]
