Welcome to the boards. But this belongs in the "Rate My Deck" Thread. Please be sure to check thoroughly next time before starting a topic thread that is currently existing.

[COLOR=darkblue][i]I hurried over to Joe's simulator pod where she was climbing out with a look of terror on her face which had gone to a pure white.[/i] "All right guys give her some room to breath." [i]Barked the instructor and we all obliged and gave her some room. As we did so Joe slumped down to the ground and just sucked in deep breaths of air. The instructor asked if she'd be all right and she nodded and so he walked off and told us three to get back to training but I kneeled down.[/i] "Are you okay?" [i]I asked concerned that she'd had a break down.[/i] "I'm fine, just a little cluastorphobia. I'll be all right." [i]She said cooly.[/i] "Oh, okay. I was wondering if you'd like to go get something to drink later or something." "Why? So then you can ask me out on a date or do something else?" [i]She said with her temper obviously rising.[/i] "No, just to get something to...." [i]Before I could finish my sentence I found myself facing towards the instructor's desk and a red hot tingling feeling on my cheek. I looked back at Joe and her face was of pure rage.[/i] "You're a pig! I hope...I hope....I..." [i]She stopped midsentence because tears just welled up in her eyes and started cascading down her cheeks. I looked at her again.[/i] "No, I would never do that. I was just wanting to know if you wanted to get a cup of coffee somtime and get to know each other."[i]She looked up, the tears had stopped and she was grinning while hiccuping, I chuckled and helped her up.[/i] "I'd like that Brant. Meet me tonight at the mess hall for coffee." [i]And with that she slid back into her simulation pod. My heart beat a little more harder and I walked back over to my simulation pod and started up a new simulation.[/i][/COLOR]

OMG! I just now peeked back in on this thread! Deb, extremely sorry and I extend my deepest sympathies to you. I am very very sorry for this tradgedy you are going through. Again I send you my deepest sympathies. Deepest sympathies Domon.

Zeta shall only be on DVD period, so no annoying commercial breaks that take half an hour to sit through. But it also means bad news for those who don't have a DVD player or don't have the money for a full box set. I mean buying a DVD set of 50 or 51 episodes will cost quite the pretty penny. So Zeta Gundam coming out on DVD is a double edged sword really. So I highly sugguest all of you save up your money so you can get this great anime when its released. ^_~

Well after checking out mahq.net I was smacked right out of my dream. Zeta is going to be released only on DVD!!! But heck we get to hear more fun stuff. But unfortunately it won't be realesed till 2004 and also at that time Gundam F91 will also premiere also. So be sure to watch for both!!

[COLOR=darkblue][i]I glared up from my food angrily, this guy seemed infatuated with torturing us with all sorts of new methods. Today as we walked outside the smug jerk was standing outside the simulator room with less of a jerkwad grin on his face.[/i] "Okay, well I got on you yesterday because of a certain someone punching me in the nose." [i]He shot me the evil eye and Joe glared at me too.[/i] "But, the running was just punishment for that. Right now we are going to start your piloting skills by getting you started with a simulator. There are several seperate simulators here but ther is also one with room for all five of us. We will be practicing on team combat then we will split off onto our own and I will be walking around checking on you're progress." [i]And with that we walked into the simulator room and followed him into the group simulator, well it was a group one on the outside but on the inside it was 5 seperate rooms, or cockpits. After we all strapped ourselves in and got ready to rumble. After about a minute the screens flickered to life and I looked/moved my simulated MS around and found myself looking at several GMs from the last war. Our commander's suit was a red color and our's were just blueish grey. Just then his voice came over the comm system and I jumped mentally, I wasn't ready for that.[/i] "Okay kids, there's a squad of enemy Mobile Suits sitting over that hill. Our mission is to stay out of their weapon range and pick them off with sinper fire. Got it? No screwing around! Now move out." "Yes sir!" [i]We all barked back. I felt like such an idiot, no fun...Or there could be but I might get in trouble. But I really didn't give a damn. We came to the cliff and I looked around with my sniper scope and started counting Mobile Suit braces.[/i] " 1...2...3..4...5...6...7...8..Wait a second! Sir! enemy MS braces 7 through 9 are empty! They are already repaired!" [i] I yelped a little panicky.[/i] "Calm down Landon. They aren't..."[i] Just then a beam rifle shot zipped right by my left arm, I snapped up my MS and saw an enemy MS running towards me. I brought the rifle up and fired off a shot, but it missed.[/i] "Dammit! Missed! Oh well." [i]Just as I was ready to fire off another shot the guy was within hacking range, I unsheathed my beam saber and dashed forward and cleanly sliced the MS in the middle. The pieces fell with a assuring thunk. Just then two more appeared but by now all of us were firing at them. But as soon as the last one fell the simulation ended and the instructor was opening my cockpit hatch with a look of amusement and anger on his face.[/i] "Good job, but there are times when you'll have to hold off on fighting back against sneak attacks. If this had been a real mission we'd be dead. Those other Mobile Suits would have launched and attacked us from the rear. Now I want you four to work seperately on different missions. I'll be watching from the main veiwer on what you're doing. If you need advice press the comm button to get ahold of me. Okay? Now let's begin!" [i]And with that we began our real training. I started up the sniper mission again just to take into account on what would happen. About my third time on the mission with a different techniuqe I heard a scream, it was Joe. I turned off the mission and climbed out of my simulator to see the others surrounding her simulator pod.[/i][/COLOR]

Personally I would ditch the Nobleman of extermination, it can hurt just as much as it can help, same with crossout. I'd say replace them with Light of Intervention or Shadow of Eyes. That's just my opinion.

[COLOR=darkblue][i]After meeting General Kamiya, who I'd only heard a tidbit about him during the briefing we were led past the mess hall and then back to our quarters. The three of us guys walked into a room with three bunks etc. I pulled off the jacket and threw it onto the top bunk without effort and slumped onto the bottom one and kicked off my boots and slumped face down onto the pillow. Just then I felt a rough hand shaking my back as I mumbled a few well chosen words for being disturbed I rolled over and was looking at the blond haired boy.[/i] "Oh hi. I guess I didn't introduce myself, I'm Brant and you are?" "Noyade. He's Frank. So, which gundam you hoping to get?"[i]He asked with his eyes glittering. I looked at him and bluntly said.[/i] "The NT-04." "That thing!?!?!" [i]He yelped in surprise.[/i] "I thought you'd be after the Reaper one too. Well that's the one I'm wanting. Say, Frank, which gundam do you want?" [i]Frank looked over from his bunk he obviously hadn't been thinking about this until just now and his face went blank for a minute and then he replied.[/i] "I guess the Blade Gundam." "Well then that leaves Phoenix for the girl. Although I have to say that your choice is rather poor Brant." [i]Noyade said.[/i] "You do know that the NT-04 is a knockoff of the NT-01 don't you?" "Pfftt.. Please, not with the current weapon systems we have, especially with the Variable Speed Beam Rifle like which was installed on the Victory Gundam and Formula 91 Gundam." [i]I then looked at Frank and Noyade's faces. I'd lost them because of my rambling about weapon systems.[/i] "Okay, Variable Speed Beam Rifle, or VSBR for short is the latest in beam weaponry for Mobile Suits. Instead of running on a sperate power supply the beam rifle gets power directly from the Mobile Suit's own generator and also allows the pilot to choose the rifle's speed. Slow particle speed results in a wide massive blast capable of destroying warships. Fast speeds result in a more concentrated blast and a finer beam which can therefore pierce heavy armoring or beam shields. So you get to customize your weapon as you fight." "Ooooohhhhhh......Cool." [i]Noyade said with a small whistle at the end. I chuckled and then slumped back down onto my bed. Tomorrow would come and go. I just wanted to get this dumb training over with before I went insane. Well, I was right about tomorrow coming early. Too damn early for me.. I was rudely awakened by some jerk who thought that by yanking my blanket off and angling my mattress so that I would fall out was good motivation. Well, it got me motivated, to punch the son of a ***** in the nose. I knew I was going to regret that and I did because after the guy left in walked the general with a stern look on his face.[/i] "Sorry general, I just uhh..." [i]I trailed off after that and the old man just looked at me and chuckled and said.[/i] "He is rather a pain in the butt isn't he? Well I see no harm done seeing as how you didn't break his nose. Heh, just get ready with the others." [i]After that I saluted smartly and ran off to the locker room and changed quickly and ran up to meet up with the others in the mess hall. I was starving, after pulling up a tray and some food I found the others sitting by a window so I bolted over there and sat down next to Noyade. He looked at me bewildered as I managed to make 5 pancakes, 2 eggs, and a glass of milk disappear in seconds. I looked at him grinning as I managed to choke down my food and said with a goofy grin.[/i] "Too used to eating fast before leaving for school." "Well you sure ate like a pig." [i]Said the Joe, the girl across from me, in reply to her comment I simply stuck my tounge out.[/i] "You're also immature." [i]She said rather cooly. I couldn't help but burst out laughing at her. Her puzzled look got me laughing even harder.[/i] "I don't see what's so amusing, I merely stated the obvious." "That's the thing! Hahaha! You remind me of a girl from my school. I tried anything to impress her but she always thought of herself too cool to be seen with me. Heh, just what you said reminded me of her. Hahahaha!!!" [i]Unfortunately our lighthearted conversation was cut short by a man standing at the head of our table, I looked up and gasped mentally. It was the same guy I punched right in the nose. I about fainted when he said his first words.[/i] "All right kiddies, ready for some training??? :demon: " [i]Noyade, Frank, and I all stumbled into our quarters exhausted and ready to kill our drill instructor. First off the jerk had made sure to single me out to do all of the major crap just because he pissed me off and got me angry at 6 in the morning doesn't mean he should blame me!! Blame my inner demon for coming out and getting pissed! Heh, anyways enough of my ranting. First off the jerk decided that he'd torture us first by making us run about 5 miles on the roadway, then he also thought it would be a great idea for us to then start weightlifting. The torture just went on, my body ached I was tired and ready to kill that man. But that soon went away as my body slowly drifted off to sleep.[/i][/COLOR]

Now hold on right there. Zero was the creation of the five scientists waaaaaayyyyyyy before they selected Heero, Duo, Wufei, Trowa, and Quatre. Wing Zero was the embodiment of the five gundams. But the scientists dubbed it too powerful because of the Zero system and therefore hid the blueprints, which Quatre finds in episode 21 while mourning the death of his father. Now how treize built Epyon's Zero system is beyond me, maybe he did manage to weasel out the plans from the scientists or something that part I have the foggiest idea about but I know this, Wing Zero's blue prints and all data concerning it were hidden in the Winner family database, how else would you explain Quatre finding the plans and building it?

Gundam Wing is just an anime with no real morale it was just made to entertain gundam fans and get people into anime. Yeesh I didn't know people loved to disect things down to where they are basically degrading the show.

G-Gundam was meant to stray away from the gloom and doom atomosphere of the previous gundam series which happened to be the Universal Century Gundam saga which had come to a close with the Victory Gundam series. So in my opinion G-Gundam was a breath of fresh air from the gloom and doom, although that fresh air went stagnet after the 4th run of the series but hey I at least got to catch up on episodes I missed. ^^ And although some people think the sereies wasn't too great it is.

[COLOR=darkblue]Just curious as to what anyone's plans are for the 4th. I'm probably going to my bro's or just staying home. Either or it'll be boring. So, what are your plans?[/COLOR]

Tell her Domon said congrats and that I wish her the best of luck with becoming a mom ^^.

[COLOR=darkblue] OOC: Just to say this again here are the pilots for the gundams. Blade Gundam: Shy Reaper Gundam: Lalaith Ril Phoenix Gundam: Braidless Baka. Now there are posistions open for the main bad guy or a bad guy pilot, so if you want to sign up for those, those are fair game. ^^ -------------------------------------------------------------------- [i]I guess you could say I was honored when an E.S.N. scout showed up at my school and asked me if I would be interested in joining the military. At first I looked at the man and said[/i] ?I thought that we didn?t need an army since UC 0200 since we?ve had the peace keeping corp.? [i]But the man just looked at me and then asked again so I couldn?t refuse so I agreed and the man took out a cell phone and dialed up someone and started giving them instructions, as soon as he had hung up he opened the door out of the office and we were on our way out. As soon as we exited the door I saw a black limousine and my heart soared. I should have considered joining the military sooner. The man that I had been talking too opened the door and I slid in with my book bag in tow. I?d been told that they had told my mom that I?d been selected to take part in a military project, she?d objected and I knew why. Dad had been in the military and he?d gone into space on a simple routine mission but on the way back the ship he was in exploded. The military had said the engine core had exploded and he didn?t have time to eject in the escape pod. But that hadn?t been good enough of an explanation and she said she disliked the army after that. After having been lost in my thoughts for what seemed like only 5 minutes I looked up and saw that we were pulling into a military installation, I recognized this from when dad showed me pictures of this from when it was being constructed, this was Anaheim Electronics. I looked at the man confused.[/i] ?But this hasn?t been needed since Amuro Ray and Char Aznable went against each other with the Nu Gundam and Sazabi. So why are they here and why are we trusting them??? [i]The man looked at me with a grin.[/i] ?Well son ever since that incident many years ago Anaheim Electronics died off, the scientists still hung around but the company went dormant etc. Well now we?ve given them a one-deal contract stating that they are to help us with the development of gundams and other mobile suits. In turn they gave us complete control of the company and if we do find any of their technology in a Zeon MS, then we?ll close the company down and take all the specs for our Mobile Suits. So of course they wouldn?t betray us since they are sitting on a military base.? [i]I slumped back down into my seat, I wondered why the E.S.N. hadn?t decided to reconstruct Jaburo in South America, I guess though that since it had caved in and destroyed almost anything the E.S.N. decided against doing a military base underground again. My thoughts were soon put to rest when the inside of the car suddenly became pitch black, we?d gone underground and were heading down. While we were driving in this pitch-blackness my heart started skipping. This was going to be cool I thought. As I was thinking that this might be a different base my question was answered once again as the car pulled onto a large highway and I looked out the window and there were buildings that were built just like the ones from Jaburo! I nearly squealed with delight, ever since I?d read about the first gundam and Jaburo I had fallen in love with Mobile Suits. We drove by what seemed to be the main building and after practically peeling my face off the window the man handed me a small Ziploc bag of things.[/i] ?These are your identification tags and your card keys. Since you are only a candidate still. You aren?t allowed access to certain areas, once you gain the title of pilot you will be allowed access to more areas. Understood?? [i]I looked at him with disbelief. I was still a candidate?![/i] ?Surely you?re kidding me, I thought I was a pilot.? [i]He retorted bluntly.[/i] ?No kid you?re still a candidate because you haven?t been assigned a gundam yet.? ?Oh.? [i]Was all I could say, I felt like I?d just been backhanded across my face. I couldn?t believe this! I wasn?t a pilot yet! My anger boiled just a tidbit as the car came to a halt outside what appeared to be a hangar. The man opened the door and stepped out first and I grabbed my backpack and stepped out as well. He then closed the door and the limo drove off, as soon as the car had taken off we headed for a door in which he slid a card key in and the door unlocked and we entered. My thoughts were right, this was a hangar and it was where they had the gundams stored, well one of them. It was amazing looking. It looked too familiar to, it was a copy of the gundam named NT-01 Alexander.[/i] ?Sir, what is this outdated gundam doing here? What?s the NT-01 doing here?!? [i]The man simply looked at me and chuckled.[/i] ?That isn?t Alexander, hell this gundam doesn?t even have a codename. Its just designated NT-04 its supposed to look like the Alexander because Anaheim based the design off of Alexander and the same concept being as that only a New type or person with the reflexes of a New type can pilot it.? ?But that Mckenzie girl piloted Alexander and she wasn?t even a New Type!? [i]I yelped, the man obviously thought about this and then chuckled. He obviously knew I was fascinated by Mobile Suits. Because very few people knew about the gundam from UC 0080 and the incidents on Side 6 which was a neutral colony. But the Zeon and E.S.F. had used that to their advantages, which nearly ended in the destruction of the colony. Anyways out of my daydream. After exiting the NT-04?s hangar we arrived at an elevator which took us to a briefing room where three other pilots sat and a young woman in a white trench coat stood looking at us all. She had several schematics of things on a view screen and just as we?d entered she?d been in the middle of a speech.[/i] ?Well I hope he?s the last of them.? [i]She said rather icily, obviously she wasn?t too happy about me arriving late, my face flushed as I took my seat at the end of the table. These other people seemed to be in the same boat except they had been here longer and were probably settled in more, me I had just gotten here and I was about to leap out of my seat and start running around in delight! A gundam, I couldn?t believe I would be assigned a gundam!! Of course I was fighting this urge with all my will power while trying to focus on this lady. She obviously noticed this by flicking off the screen and looking at us.[/i] ?Shall we go take a look at your soon to be new toys?? [i]She said with a somewhat giddy tone; obviously she liked these gundams as well. The five of us headed for the elevator and took it down the ground level and stepped out into a brightly lit corridor which led us to a very large hanger. And there standing before us were the other 3 gundams, I then looked off to the side and noticed a crew tinkering with the NT-04. I grinned; obviously they were planning on using it even though it was designed for New Type pilots. I hoped that I could pilot it; I?d give it a nickname.[/i] ?As you can see these will be the gundams you?ll be piloting. But, you 4 are far from piloting these things, first off you?ll start with the basic mobile suit. After you?ve passed the training. Once you pass that you?ll be training in Zero-G situation with the Mobile Suits. Okay?? [i]She asked obviously looking for one of us to ask a question. I raised my hand slowly, I had to ask about the NT-04.[/i] ?Yes, what is it Mr. Landon? Is it?? [i]She asked sifting through obviously some files on her digipad.[/i] ?Yes, I was wondering how you?ll determine who the pilot will be for the NT-04 since it was developed for New Type usage.? [i]I asked with my blood pounding in my ears. She looked at me with her eyes, those eyes seemed to burn a hole right in my face she then said rather coolly as she flicked her hair to one side.[/i] ?You will have to score rather highly on your training to pilot this gundam. So if you are wanting to pilot this I suggest that you train really hard and I hope to god that you?re a natural at piloting a Mobile Suit.? [i]And with that she stalked off and the man that had escorted me to the limousine walked up in her place except he was wearing a colonel?s uniform. He looked at us all with a look of dead seriousness.[/i] ?All right kiddies, tomorrow at exactly 0600 hours you?re going to wake up and start training! Got me?!? [i]He barked loudly. And with that he turned on his heel s and walked briskly out of the hanger. As soon as he left the hangar a young man who looked like a mouse came up and spoke rather loudly.[/i] ?Ok, now I?ll show you to your quarters. Please follow me.? [i]We followed the man who seemed to be leading us around in circles in the corridor after what seemed like hours of walking we were lead to two separate doors and as I peered down the hallway even more I saw what appeared to be a lounge.[/i] ?Okay you three guys will be sleeping here and the lady will be sleeping in these quarters. Now like it was stated earlier you will be up at 0600 hours to begin your training so get to sleep either now or you may tour the facilities now, but I suggest that you change into your uniforms etc. so then that you may tour the facilities. Anyways, that?ll be all.? [i]And with that he turned on his heel and walked out.[/i] ?Well, I guess we should get changed then.? [i]I said a little goofily. I really had no idea what these guys were like or who they were so I guess my first goal was to get to know these people. ?Oh thrill for me!? I thought sarcastically.[/i][/COLOR]

Okay, tis fine Walnut. I'm planning on starting up the rpg tomorrow or Thursday so get those sign ups in soon! Well I've gone ahead and decided who will be in the rpg. Here's the list. It was a close call. But there are still sign ups for baddies. Like Walnut said the main baddie is availible for the takings or you can be a baddie pilot. Piloting Blade Gundam: Shy Piloting Phoenix Gundam: Braidless Baka Piloting Reaper Gundam: Lalaith Ril I'm going to go ahead and start the rpg now I hope you all's enjoy.

I highly sugguest that you go with the Universial Century due to the fact that it has major character development and you really become attached to the characters. And even though some of the animation isn't all that good its still awesome!

Uh sure. If you want to that's fine. ^^ I was hoping someone could play as the baddies ^^.

Okay, sign ups for Blade Gundam are closed. There is still one slot for Phoenix and Reaper so hurry and sign up! After the other two gundams are taken I will announce who the pilots are.

Actually GunMetal once Toonami or any other tv company receives an anime or whatever, they edit it. They have to to meet their standards etc. To actually Toonami does the editing etc and they do butcher it.

All right, I have 1 more slot for Blade, Phoenix, and Reaper. So those who want to apply for those three better get it in high gear and sign up. And if you do happen to miss the sign ups for the gundams there is still the choice of signing up as a baddie. Just remember that if you are a baddie you can't have an all powerful suit. It's your piloting skills that makes your MS good.

I said it will be butchered and Bandai has nothing to do with Toonami. Toonami is a seperate coorporation from Bandai and Toonami [b]butchers any anime[/b]. Take a look at Yu-Yu-Hakusho, you know why they are doing the beginning episodes continoulsy? Because the last episodes of the Dark Tournament are really really really bloody and gory so in a manner of speaking, Toonami butchers it.

Okay I just want to re-emphasize this. We are just ordinary kids that are living out our normal lives when we were scouted by millitary agents. We know nothing about the gundams until we are brought to the base. I hope this clears things up.

Ranked? Like as in being ranked as a private, Corprel etc.? No I wasn't planning on that. The only rankings Are the people that will be giving us commands. But that will be revealed in the rpg.

Its okay. I guess it was my fault about not mentioning that. But Jaburo is no longer around. And we are just ordinary kids that have been picked by E.S.N. millitary scouts.

All right there are still open spaces for all three gundams. Phoenix and Blade have 2 more spaces left. Reaper has 3 still so be sure to sign up.
