The Out of Character Thread: OBAMALLAMAPAJAMA~!

Because the forums apparently hate IE now. Apart from that, no clue.

Out of curiosity, where would you say it was going? I see signs and portents, and things that can be worked with, but I never read the lost parts of the thread, so I don't know where it went that week.

Hmm... I believe it was Scholar, Dman, and me going to watch Shotty and Fluesopp fight.

Scott again
Well, yes, I do see a coming fight that is abruptly cut off by the loss of a week's worth of posts, but I was referring to a larger direction than little squabbles like that.

Oh, well other then the little skermish that would have involved most of the peoples with a large crowd gathered around... I have no idea what was going to happen after that. Basically, all you missed was everyone talking to each other in their separate groups, and to their characters in their heads and about the characters in their heads. And of course, Shot was messing with a couple of kids and a somewhat forced fight starting and everyone else came to watch.

Okay, I'll see what I brew up before class this evening.

I have ideas for a personal introduction, and several vague thoughts of how to deal with overarching "plot."

Awesome, speaking with Hoch was fun. :3

that thread sounds like an interesting one.

does anyone mind if I join after Scott revives it?

Yes, because people aren't aloowed to join threads.

Whoa... I've been away for four days and I already missed that much? Or, what did I miss?
Recap from my Legoland visit: I was sick, and did certainly not enjoy myself very much. The beds at the hotel we visited was so bad my back ached for a day before I could get a better mattress and on the trip home I got diarrhea....

But it was nice at Legoland... I bought myself a Captain Rex from Star Wars key ring.

You missed the usual hijinks.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, I haven't forgotten about that "shove the characters in an old-style navy setting" thing I mentioned before... I just...haven't felt like writing it. I drew a picture for it, though.

So, the usual things?

Oh, and how could I forget? Before I went on vacation, I unplugged my computer in case of Lightning damage. (It got a -3 modifier towards lightning) So when I returned home and plugged it back in, it just wouldn't start!!!
Naturally I freaked out, threw books, cd's and my keyboard at the wall, before I "jumped" the mainboard and fixed the problem....

The circuit breaker tripped? Yeah, that can be distressing...

Circuits break at my house all the time (usually whenever the microwave, vacuum cleaner, television, and hairdryer are all being used at once.) The circuit breaker is in my room, on the wall above my bed, so usually I'm the one who has to flip the switch back on.

No.. It was a problem with the CMOS. I had to reset it by taking out the battery of the mainboard, plug something into something else, wait 5 sec, plug it back, and replace the battery.
A new day, a new lession.

Is there talk about joining in on the Out of the Battle Area thread?

There is talk about bringing it back to life.

I'm already writing something, and I hope to finish before I leave for class (in about an hour).

That's great.

In other news, I am installing iTunes, and my taskbar disappeared... Should I be afraid? (apart from the fact that I am installing Apple software on my computer..)

Taskbar disappeared? Did explorer crash?

Nope. iTunes shut it down...

Hm.. Reading through the missing posts right now. Expect mass reply.

iTunes hates you for using Windows, I suspect.

As well all know, the ZU podcast is a big hit.

Also, if it goes though, we want to know which councilors you'd like to see interviewed, and what questions they'll be asked. =P

I suck at announcements. >_>

I say yes. It might bring more people to the BA. I'm already starting to feel old, and there is not many new people that have joined since...

Aronin: "aaaaAAAAAAAHHHHH!" And then go nuclear, Peter Petrelli style... Just for the sake of it...
Kal: Just you wait. You can take my body, but you'll never get my soul...
Simon: Be kind to animals..

Look at Aronin. He's a pure physic char. Telekinesis and all..

I mean, if they have telekenesis on an atomic level -- they can basically explode people, or irradiate them to dust -- make water from the air to drown them, etc.

If it's telekinesis of non-verbal matter, they won't ever land a hit on you because you have an inpenetrable aura, as hard as steel. You can throw unblockable punches like a train hitting from 20 miles away. Land to air to land to turkey to land invisible blows.

If it's being able to control anything around you with, like, disembodied, ethereal hands -- you can easily hang someone while slapping them silly with a fish.

:< I don't get quite how you could make it work without being all-powahful.

Again, look at Aronin. He is all powerful, but he cannot utilize it properly. It is telekinesis on atomic level. Just imagine the amount of concentration you need to do things then? To move an object, you don't need to move all the atoms. Only some, and the rest would follow. Water on the other hand would be a much more difficult substance to handle. And yes, it would be possible to irradiate people to dust. I solved that by giving him a past that would make him not do it again. Read up on his bio, his training, and especially an unfinished battle with someone I don't remember... *looks up link.: http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/...eallylink.html
After the battle, he is supposed to make an oath to not do such things to people again. That's why he's starting at the dome.

No, I was thinking something more along the lines of Force powers. Simple and limited grab, push, pull, lift, throw, ect. And more along the lines of hurling a table at someone than picking up a building and crushing them with it. Ability is defined by power. Just because, theoretically, you could explode a person on a molecular level, doesn't mean you have the power to do so.

Yes, and eventually, that character would rise to the levels where it could just crush a building with a mere thought.

That.... Was probably my fault.. Shot started with anonymous, and I just followed up.

Edit: What's funny about it? :?

It would be so much more awesome if that old story could have continued. It would make such a cool scene. Imagine being at a writers con, and suddenly people are transforming into ghosts, animals and shooting fireballs at eachother?

It's not just mine either, but I've noticed that threads are only getting... possibly one post a week or so, if even that much. Is it just the fact that school's started and everyone's too busy or something? :/ It's possible, seeing how even the OoC thread isn't as active as it usually is.

I'm totally active and ready for a battle. I saw you propose a battle with Tree Shade, but I don't want to fight him. I don't know why, I just don't. I need a battle with Try, so if you'd like, PM me. That is for all. I'm open for an active RP. I'll post probably once a day, if not more.

Isn't that revealed in The Dark Knight?
His father put a knife in his mouth, he wears makeup to look scary...

That's all for now..

Yeah, that's what the Joker said what happened. He also said he cut himself that way for his wife to make her laugh or something. It's basically a series of stories he's either made up, or are a mixture of fact and fiction. He's also apparently been burnt by acid, according to other versions of his history. He's also killed Bruce Wayne's parents, among other things that conflict with each other. His exact backstory is a mystery and will never truthfully be revealed.

There's another thing I bet Sabbo's missing out on: The Dark Knight. Overhyped, but worth every bit of it. xP

(I'm just screwin' with ya, Sabbo.... and I just realized "Sabbo's" sounds like a pizza restaurant.)

Nice guess, and I actually haven't watched it... yet. I'm just waiting until my older brother gets a pirated copy of it.

Huh; so it does, kinda...
