[quote name='Sabrina'] I'm beginning to think that other than a rare few out there, gentlemen just don't exist anymore.[/FONT][/QUOTE] Now that's not even true. Is it true that most of us (men) think about sex quite often? Yes. But does that mean that's al we're after? Not even close. My fiancee and I waited through a six month relationship, and then a 8 month time when I was in basic training. And even 2 more months following. Had I had sex before? Yes. The difference was, we weren't afraid to talk about each others expectations before hand. And that's what young people, especially young women, fail to do today. So many young girls don't realize the "power' they have. They have the power to instantally know whether a guy is worth it or not. All you need to do is say, "Is this about sex? and are you willing to wait?" If the guy can't...then out he goes. There is never a time to be desperate enough to go against your morales. No matter how cute, popular or "special" the person may seem. Something better WILL come along. I was lucky enough to find true love, some people won't be because they don't let themselves. But I say, date alot. Now by date I mean, go to a movie with someone and don't just kiss or make out with them. Also don't be afraid to hurt their feelings by "leading" them on. If you say yes to someone and they know it could or could not lead to something, they may be hurt by no second date. But so what? they'll find someone they like as well if not better tahn you later. And the same goes for you. There's more than one fish in the sea, as cliche as it sounds it true. MOST of the time what you think is true love. Is just a good connection with someone who is better suited as a friend........boy that was a long rant about nothing.

i was going to wait untilthere was a backstage but I'm impatient. As far as a Yu-Gi-Oh Rp would be concerned. You'd have to watch people making their "decks" perfect. Maybe have them list some cards, or give them some cards. This way you can't have someone busting out 10 blue eyes and a metamorphisis card. If the first 10 seconds of a fight.

[quote name='CrimsonKnight'][COLOR="Red"] you like final fantasy? what about mortal kombat????:confused:[/COLOR][/QUOTE] I used to like the mortal kombat games. I played 1-3 reigiously. I toyed with Deception and Armagedeon a little bit. But was never hooked the way the first three got me. As far as fighting games, the Smackdown VS. Raw series is my personal fav. though the 2008 addition was a joke.

I've been with my fiancee for four years. So my experience in this field is...sort've non-existant. BUT, being in the military and going to deployments. You see people all the time going to bars and trying to start relationships with people they meet and....seal the deal with that night. What people fail to understand that if a relationship turns into something physical the first night you get the chance. Then more than likely its just a superficial thing and a REAL relationship can't be formed. Am I saying it doesn't happen? No of course not because some do. It's rare but it happens, I'm just saying that if you're looking for a relationship with some substance, think with your head. If you're looking for something to get you through high school and get your rocks off. Think with your hea......man parts. Also, I was in the orchestra in high school. Why is it there's always at least one stereotypic band girl who gives it up at the drop of a hat?

Travis found Madeline lying in the sun on the other side of the clearning. As he approahced her keen sense of hearing picked him up. "What is it Travis?" "Taie found a box the GUK had planted, it just seems to be one of their short wave transmitters. But none the less, we have to locate its...." A howl echoched out of the woods. "Damn....." Travis had caught himself. He had a tendency to say outloud what he was thinking and it always was a downfall. "That bad huh? Guess theirs nothing to do but protect out clearing." "Yes...there are quite a few soldiers. Perhaps 75-100 and not just the little weak ones we fought here. There are alot of leutenants walking around. This is bad." Travis could tell Madi sensed the hesitancy in his voice. But she made the decision he feard anyways. "Go grab the others and prepare to go to their camp." "As you wish" As Travis turned to leave Madeline called to him. "Oh Travis, there is a newcommer among us. I don't think she realizes that he was seen, but she's over by Kizuna and Bravie. I'm sure we could use her in the upcoming battle." Travis turned his head and acknowledged her with a nod. Bounding away he thought about what was to come. [I] Something doesn't feel right about this.....maybe it's Madi's determination to be involved. Or my wolf friends apathy that allowed the GUK to get so close. Either way, this is no ordinary mission [/I] He approached Bravie, Taie, Kizuna, and the newcommer. "Madi asked me to come get you guys, since you're the only ones who know about the GUK. We don't want to raise the alarm and alert the others." Travis awaited their answers, his eyes never leaving the newcommer.

I played WOW for a month or so. Didn't even get my character to lvl 20 for lack of interest. I do see the attraction to it...though I don't share it myself. I honestly think it's going to be sometime before its dethroned. Probably going to go the way of everquest. It's fan base will start to "outgrow" it and it will die off. Then and only then will it be taken down. I know this is off the subject in a way. But I'm more interested in text based MMO's. Aardwolf in particular. Haven't been on in awhile, but If i were to have to choose b/w the two. I would choose it over WOW.

[I] Please don't hate me for expressing my views [/I] Sorry I can't delete very much at a time with this cheap tv computer. But this portion came from Godot. Its sort've sad when you feel that way, havingto be afraid of being belittled for your views. And specifically to the personwho called my first post a "stupidly low blow". I may have choosen the easy way out in my initial comment. But you ^&*% sure better belive its how the white working class feels. That being said, that brings up another good point about the particular democratic candiates....WHO I ask you WHOhas had anything good to say about the middle class? I'm going to go with....John Mcain? Only candidate to acknowledge anyone other than just the upper and lower classes.

I like to find humor in anything. Its the one thing my fiancee loves to hate about me. When I told her I was going to Iraq the way I dd it was. "Hun, I've got great news. The deployment I signed up for is heading to the worlds largest sand box....sorry no girls allowed though" Smart...no Good way to break news....no. Funny as hell....to me yes but to friends and famiy.....no. So I find myself laughing at my own jokes alot.....well all the time. But what is even sadder than that is the fact that other peoples jokes crack me up.....so I do love stand up. Stupid funny...ironic funny....not funny funny. If you have a joke...I'll probably laugh...and if not. Then you should never tell the joke again. (Oh and turning a phrase is the most underated type of humor.

hmmm....not much to say back. Not that you've rendered me speechless....I guess more to the fact that you've rendered me bored....or board....no def. bored.

I enjoy every type of game out there. Except racing, just can't get into them. I'm really into RPG games more than anything. Not sure which of the categories you've named they'd fall into. I guess I could be more specific and say final fantasy style. Turn based, magic, monsters, beautiful girls to rescue. I have really been hooked on battle games recentally. COD 4, Frontlines, R62LV. Are all titles I've played religioulsly the past few months.

Now, truth be told. Restfting Taperson and me from saying Ballin or For Shizzle could be considered racist. Though I'll say outright I'm just a white boy. BUT Those words are a part of African American culture. AND if Taperson is black, then you could be looking at a HEFTY lawsuit.....so maybe you should apologize....common I'm waiting

That really does sound like an awesome idea. As far as the "court" would go though. Since you can't always trust people to write all the time, and finish their commitments (I know sometimes it can't be helped.) But instead in my opinion, you'd have to make it a random selection of people who've proven themselves committed to posting. That way it wouldn't pick someone who'd posted one time in a year, or who leaves RPs alot. By and by, it's too bad there isn't a voting system on Otaku for the theater. In which someone who quits an RP, ( I'd like to stress quits not isn't on for a long time), this would involve something the author and/or other members of the story could click, either in the persons profile or a button in their signature. This could somehow keep a running tally of how many stories this person has quit. And someone could just locate (thanks to the nifty thing someone already thought of) he person's other posts and find out how many were stories. This way an author would know how trustworthy a person is. Hmmm...just something to think about I suppose.

My falt, thatss horble of me. Im usuly anil abut spelllling in peples potss. I fx leighter. hehe hoped you enjoyed that. Sorry fat fingered it when i was typing. Not going to fix it though, it was too tasking to be a smartass. Need to rest now.

I'm sure there have already been threads about this. I just didn't feel like going back page after page with this slow Television internet they give us here at Osan AB (Osan Air Force Base, Korea). I just want to see where everyone stands, what they like/dislike about the candidates/potential candidates. And who they've be voting for at this point. I'll Start. Well with the Clinton/Obama battle. I love watching democratic debates. Being a soldier and a strong, strong, ever so strong opionionated republican. It does my heart good to see two candidates battle it out, throwing almost exact view (though worded very different) to the table. Clinton says "I WILL pull the troops out when I get into office" Obama Says, "This war will end once I enter office" It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see they're fighting over the same thing. Sort've like the "hey look at that rock" "That's no rock its a pebble". That's just one example...oh and it doesn't help the fact that they're both racists in their own rights. Obama talks bad about the white middle class. So Clinton, being the more tactfull one, says "Obama is driving away the white voters, but he still has the african american voters" Boy oh Boy. John Mcain, republican. Easy pick for me right? Wrong. I've thought of writing Ralph Nader in when I go to vote just to make a statement. But as far as evils go, he is the lesser of the three. White man, Boring, doesn't want much to change. (Has the balls to admit we are doing good in Iraq to a room full of democrates.). Senator Greaves on the otherhand may have gotten my vote after his contribution to the Obama girl series on YouTube. Check it out if you get a chance. Though he probably won't have a snowballs chance in hell, or the democratic national convention as I like to call it. Alot of Otaku members are too young to vote or from another country. Feel free to contribute. Though you may be to young to officailly cast your vote, your voice should still be heard. Now I want to stress I want to keep this a political thread. I know I mentioned the war and that's one thing. But if all you're going to do is bad mouth the war go ahead and post at [email]www.kissmy@$&.com[/email] and leave me a message....or start a thread about that and I'll be happy to argue with you. I'd choose the ladder.

Hehe I liked how you ended that taperson. In my opionion, "nerd" was a term that was lost in the 90's. With technology integrated into society as it were. "Computer nerds" who was everyone that onwned a computer. Sort've changed into "Computer Geek". Now that thecomputer age is upon us and the Geeks rule the world. It's now socially acceptable to be incredibly smart. And the slackers who get Straight C's and D's are sort've the "outcasts". Not saying that if you get C's and D's you're an outcast. But the type of slacker/Jock/Screw Society types are now in their own rights Nerds. Since they're the ones who people look down upon. Oh and like i said I liked the insult Taperson. But I think it's still cool to say ballin For shizzle

Travis heard everything about the GUK box and the bloodlust. Bounding back to the other three he looked at the box. "It's just a short wave transmitter. I doubt they have much more than half a clicks range. You three keep your mouths shut about it and I'll talk to Madi. You may get to quench that bloodlust of yours Bravie." Travis called to his brethren in the forest, to get them to begin searching the area surrounding the clearing for more GUK soldiers. "The clearing is our home. We have all fought...and some of us have died to keep it proected. And I'll be damned if we're going to lose it now. I'll go get Madi and see what she wants to do next." With that Travis ran as fast as his four legs would take him. He knew Bravie was probably pissed at him, he had figured her for a hot head that didn't like being told what to do....appearances could be deceiving. But he doubted they were. He just hoped no one would say anything, otherwise the more peaceful residents would be sent into a panic.

For a long time their had been talks about Folaria invading Choton. Folaria was a technologically advanced civilization and looked down upon Choton. Their was much speculation as to why Folaria wanted Choton, but it was revealed last spring that Choton's fertile countryside was a perfect addition to Folaria. Folaria could build its cities larger and larger without fear of losing its natural resources. Choton would turn into basically one large farm. Choton had also been in a civil war for many, many years. The Samurai of the North and the Ninja of the South had began fighting for a decade and most were wiped out. Our story begins after a deceptive move at a treaty signing. "Your highness. I'm so glad you could make it. Though I'm sorry I had to do this by teleconference. I'm sure you understand though." The Emperor of Choton watched the television monitor. "Mr. President, I'm glad we could reach this....." "Sorry Emperor, there is no microphone on your side. I just wanted to make sure I was present for this." Suddenly a large explosion rocked the tent. As he emperor and his body guards ran out to see what the comotion was they were greeted by over a hundred Foloaria soldiers with guns...guns the Choton's had none of....suddenly a voice came from the tent. "Sorry your highness. I can't have my grand farm land, if there are people in it." The soldiers all began firing...and within a few secons. The emperor....the king....the god was no more. Okay now OUR story begins. The ninja and the samurai leaders. Both negotiated a truce. The Foloarian's were launching a full scale genocide. Already over 50 villiages were lost. An estimated 15,000 people were already dead and a lot more was to come. We are the first group of integrated soldiers. Though we have no guns we possess the skills of the greatest warriors of all time. We also possess some magic abilities that were lost to the Folarians years ago.... This RP is to be set in an era in which the military technology of the Folarians is similar to WWII. And the Technology of Choton is similar to Feudal Japan. There will be rogue Ninja/samurai that could care less about the Folarian invasion and will try and attack us. We need a good mix of Samurai and Ninja. The Ninjas will have a skill set similar to Naruto. And the Samurai will have a skill set similar to Kenshin. Both wil have a few rules Ninja; A few notes. Ninja cannot use katana or Bow and arrows. As in real life ninja aren't made for close combat. They're made for quick stealthy kills. Samurai; A few notes. Samurai are trained for close combat. Though they're trianed in the use of multiple weapon types. Try and steer away from throwing weapons and those little claw things ninja have that I can never remember the name of. Name: Ninja or Samurai Age: Appearance: Personality: This should include your alliance if you are a ninja. (Alligance to light or darkness) Villiage: (Be as creative as you want) Element: (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, or copy cat. Copy can learn any technique at a much lesser level as a singular element.) Favored weapons: (Keep with the Naruto/Kenshin theme and be creative. Giant Shurikens/Giant Chakra eating blades/axes as big as a man are great examples of good choices. Remember this is just your "Favored" weapon. Not the only one you have to use. Favored Techniques: Not that techniques should all revolve around a clan or element. Favored techniques should be techniques that only your clan/element know and can use. (Copy cat elements cannot copy a friend or enemies Favored Technique. Try and keep this to only 2 or 3 new techniques can/will be learned later on in the RP Bio: I'm going to go ahead and make my sign-up. I do need someone to be a Folarian for a special assignment. Make a post here letting me know you're interested and I'll PM you with your signup. Name: Shobien Ochira Ninja Age: 20 Appearance: I'll post later on today Personality: Being a Ninja of the light. Shobien is very good natured and well meaning. He is very loyal to his team/clan and is happy about the merging of the Ninja and Samurai. Villiage: The village among the wolves. Element: Wind Favored Weapons: Shurikens he keeps in a bag attached to his belt. And "Bane" A magical blade his ancestors used. Able to shrink to no more's length of a throwing knife for easy concelment. And then it can grow to a larger 24inch classic ninja sword. Favored Techniques: Wolf Fang: A combination of chakra and wind energy. Shobien slashs his hands asthough he had claws. Then small blades of wind and chakra slash out. Depending on how much Chakra is used, the blades can sometimes cut through steel. Shuriken Storm: Using his skills with his shurikens and his innate wind abilities. Shobien throws all his remaining shurikens in his bag into the air. Summoning his wind ninjutsu he somewhat takes control of the shurikens and forms them into a cyclone of sorts and surronds his opponent with them. Final Blast: Summoning a huge amount of chakra. Shobien forms it into a ball in his hand. He points it as his enemy and lets it lose. Turning it into a giant energy blast. This technique can usually only be used once as a final resort....the problem is Shobien hasn't perfected it yet, and it can lead to....problems when its used. Bio: My internets acting funny so I'm going to end this before it completly shuts down. I'll finish posting this later tonight. Feel free to post if your interested, don't wait on me to finish it.

"AHH" Damo awoke to a sharp pain in his leg. As he tried to sit up he noticed the fire in his chest. "It would be best not to move." Reiku's voice startled him in the dark. "You gave everyone a scare damo, I'm glad to see you're awake. I'll go tell the others." As Reiku got up and the familiar clicking of his cane was heard Damo couldn't help but smile through the pain. "It looks like we made it out okay. Our first official mission a success. [I] We're a real team now....though in a way that sucks. They always seem to break good teams up and I wouldn't know what I would do if we lost anyone. [/I] As Damo laid back down, he thought he heard his door open. A visitor prehaps??

"But if you must...I will let you" Madeline said as she turned and walked away from Travis. Travis then glanced at Bravie...one of the newcomers. It took every ounce of strength he had to keep from thanking her. He had been foolhardy, he let the anger get to him and it almost cost him dearly. He didn't, however, want her to know he was starting to trust her. She had been with the "pack" for awhile now, and as he always was, he was hesitant to trust her. "Thank you" he whisperd....or he may have just thought it. He wasn't sure. Travis approached the edge of the clearing. A large white wolf appeared seemingly out of no where. "What happened Simon?" Simon was the official leader of the pack of wolves that lived outside the clearing. They had a special bond with Travis and acknowledged him as the true "Alpha male" of their pack. They all knew it and understood it, Simon especially. "I'm very sorry Travis, it was the twin's watch today...they thought they could handle the trespassers themselves. They took three but the others slipped by in the fray." Simon replied in the wolven language. "No harm done, just ask them to be more carefull. I don't know what I would've done if I would have lost them....I must go now, tell them I said thanks for killing the ones they did." "As you wish" With that, Simon dissapeared back into the forest. He would discipline the twins something awful but it couldn't be helped. Travis went searching for Madeline, he hated leaving her side, but unless notified of anothers prescence beforehand, the wolves would not reveal themselves when another was around.

OOC: I want to aplogize about my post. I had mistakenly overlooked Moni's post and thought she wanted me to start the tread :(. "GRRR" Travis growled as he heard the commotion. "Madi!" Travis knew she was already on her way though he wasn't there. She was always endangering herself by fighting. Travis tore through the forest and into the clearing just in time to see two GUK members sneaking around the backside of the others already engaged. With a howl that drowned out the fighting he ran out to meet the two. Seeing their shabby formation, Travis knew they were rookie warriors. Not even bothering to draw his weapon, travis dodged the first thrust and grabbed both their throats. Not uttering a word he allowed his claws to sink into their precious juggulars. Within seconds they were both gone...the lifeless, soundless screams still on their faces. Travis howld again, this time sending a signal to the rest of his brothers in the forest to start the search for more other than the ones the others were already engaged in.

I haven' thad a chance to play yet, but I have watched a friend play. All I have to say is 1.) Jack a car and crash head on into another car.....not what you'd think happens but it's a treat. Also, and this is the biggest point 2.) DON"T MAKE YOUR FRIENDS WATCH....grrr @$& wouldn't let me play yet.

Well the first post of Hope is up. I hope everyone likes how its starting, especially moni. As far as the obvious situation goes, I figured we could use it as a "get to know" mission and learn ther personality of each others characters. If you don't want to participate in the short first mission, just don't have Travis coming to you for help in the coming "hunt"

A wolves howl rang throughout the clearing. Breaking the silence shared between Madeline and Travis. They had been planning a raid on a known GUK compound and as usual Travis was telling Madeline her plan was too risky. "What are they saying Travis?" Madeline had the acute hearing of a dog, but she wasn't able to understand the local wolves the way Travis was. He was raised by them afterall, and though he was part human, he had developed a bond between them, and they served as lookouts for the whole clearing. "There is a group of humans, nothing more than bows and arrows, and katanas. Though they say they're wearing strange black clothing." Travis knew that Madeline would be alarmed. The GUK realized that their guns made noise, even just the click of the saftey coming off was enough to alert the half-breeds with sensetive hearing. "They're still miles away from the clearning and heading in the oppisite direction. Should I go check it out?" "Yes, take a few others with you and kill them." Madeline's voice was cold. He hated when she talked the way. He also knew it had to be one. "As you wish, we'll kill them and dispose of the bodies far away so when they're found they won't be lead anywhere near here." Travis turned to leave but he quickly stoped when he heard Madeline get up out of her chair. "I think I'll join you tonight, I haven't left the clearing in awhile" "But Madeline..." She raised a hand to silence him. Though she never treated him as a subordinate, and always took his advice over security/safety matters. She was part animal as he, and enjoyed roaming free once in awhile. "Go ahead and round up whoever you think we may need for this task....oh and whose going to be with us tonight?" Madeline was refering to which of the wolves was joining them to lead them to the humans. Over the years the wolves have been a valuable asset to protecting their way of life and have saved the clearing from discovery on numerous occasions by leading hunters off and killing those who get to close. An eerie howl escaped Travis' lips. Piercing the night sky, it was quickly answered by another. "It looks like Rolo and Polo" The name's always made Travis smile. They were twin wolves with something very odd about them. Rolo had a green left eye and a yellow right, while Polo had a yellow left eye and a green right. This added to the twos inseperable nature "Ahh great, I do so enjoy looking ento their eyes, so beautiful" [I] And so deadly. [/I] Travis thought to himself. The two workedmore like a team than any animal human or mix he knew. "I know just who to get for this job..." Travis walked away from Madeline to get the others, he always hated leaving her side incase she needed him. But he knew Rolo and Polo would be waiting to take care of her. OOC: I hope everyone likes the first post, I'm going to get back on in an hour or so to post the backstage.

Hate to make a post just for this, but I wanted to give a heads up. I added a picture of travis' appearance.

Damo watched as Duke began dispatching the innocents left and right. "His powers have increased so much...." He was cut off as a cultist slamed him with a large staff sending him sailing. He crashed into a wall a few feet behind him and came up ready to defend. "AH" He went down to a knee. The wound he sustained earlier pulsed and he could not find the strength to stand. As the man prepared for a killing blow Damo focused his power and created another shield. "thud" The hammer made a dull sound as it hit, and though the blow sent a shock through him Damo held strong. Damo focused as much energy as he could mustered and changed the shield into a wave of energy that crashed into the man sending him flying across the room. 'Hey this isn't so bad...i need a weapon though" Damo closed his eyes and tried to hunt for a weapon. Upon doing so he realized he could actually see the room. Not in color or from his own eyes. But it was as though he was floating above everybody he could see Duke, Nayomi, Reiku, Kendra and the rest. "Jinx!" damo called out as he saw the innocent creeping from behind. "thud" his blade landed on a blue light. damo surrounded her with his shield. He was amazed when he opened his eyes because normally there was no way he could've seen Jinx through thewall of peope in front of him. But with his mind he could see everyone. He closed his eyes again and focused on the shield. He turned his energy into a blade and began toying with the man. He thrusted and parried the energy. "thud, thud" As the two blades, one physical and the other mental slamed into one another...."I wonder?" Damo feinted a thrust and brought the weapon up into a killing thrust. The innocent had no time to react and was struck by the blade.... The blade acted as more of a baseball bat and smashed the man into the ground not severing his head as Damo had predicted. "At this rate we'll have them beat in no ti...." damo was cut short as the pain in his leg returend. This time the pain creeped up his leg....The innocents had never planned on letting him live.. The dagger was poisoned.....this was not good. Damo started losing consciousness and new he was usless to the team. He mustered up what shield he could and let himself collapse. "God I hope this holds' was the last thing he could think before drifting into a sleep....possibly his last. OOC: Man I justrealized, that's like the 4th time damos passed out. What a wuss.
