I'll echo that!
Not that TA isn't fabulous and the doer of many great deads and heroic acts but.... err, has he done something recently to earn this that I missed??
Still, may as well make a lame attempt at this... and a big old No-Prize to the first who recognized what ditty I slaughtered as the basis of this... (If it's hard then I am ashamed of you all!)
Thor's Assassin, Thor's Assassin
Kills a Thor whenever he can
He gets arts, as a prize
Collects them like dead flies
Look out
Here comes the Thor's assasin
Is he strong, listen bud
His odor will curl blood
Can he crush an Asgard's head
Check out all he's left dead
Hey there
There goes the Thor's Assassin
In the halls of Valhalla
Or on the streets of Skyway
He'll slaughter an entire gala
Just to put his target away
Thor's Assassin, Thor's Assassin
Scary nightmarish Thor's Assassin
To those that know him, he's abhored
Mayhem is his reward
To him, life is a all about killing
and the art collecting
That's our Thor's Assassin! -
Ok, where the heck is Cashoo and her arty goodness?? She pokes her head in for a second and disappears... What's up with that?
Cashoo???
CASHOO???
CAAAASHOOOOOOOOOOOO????
Exactly how does one find a Cashoo that got loose anyway??? -
Well I may be at the poker table all night but your still not using my bed!
My dog does have a nice spacious crate though... -
I'm not keeping score or anything but it seems guys go taller and gals shorter?(assuming I didn't miss any posts and have genders right it does seem the trend even if not unanimous)

I bet the other 1,999,520 live in Tibet... Seinfeld was big in Tibet.

OOooops!
Just noticed that my last reply was slightly mis-aimed. Change the "you"s to "they" and it should be good though...
Pyro - something tells my you are a double dipper.... -
I'm pretty much with you on that, Uber, but it's the closest I could think to make the two analogous at al...
-
The three of you hit Buffalo together and I have no problem picking up the dinner tab. We'll even hit the Steakhouse at the Indian Casino... One of the top 4 steaks I ever had.
You're on your own for gambling money though.
And I have no spare bedroom, just one couch that pulls out, so you may want to bring sleeping bags... And NO Pyro, you cannot share my bed! -
Yep... I've kind of decided that one of my little sidelines in getting character art is getting works from people who don't really do the comic book style... Not my main focus by any means but I like the idea of getting the artists to step outside what they normally do as well as seeing how the styles work on comic type characters...
Why this interests me I dunno but *shrug* -
Quote:Actually, no. I do not know that. I would have assumed it if I had given it a thought but I do not know that as a fact. I just never bothered to ask everyone in the world their name, do phone surveys with scientific sampling or anything else that would provide me that knowledge.You do know there are millions of other Jason Alexanders in the world, right?? Just checking.
I also never had any reason to care.
Perhaps I was wrong to think you might care to know of a single famous one. I just thought that perhaps there was some connection... Perhaps you'd like the information if you didn't have it... Maybe that you'd want to know why people started calling you George or quoting Seinfeld lines...
But all in all, I didn't think asking would be seen as some kind of attack that needed to be responded to with sarcasm. *shrug* whatever dude, have a nice life. -
Damn, were all doing gifts?
Fine, fine... The steaks on me CR. And no Outback steak, I'm talking prime cut $75 dollar pure steak heaven - the kind of steak cows dream of becoming... You just have to come to Buffalo and I'll take you to the Steakhouse up at the casino or ya can meet me in Vegas next time I go... -

Quote:I would guess it's pure legend and Bubba is the name used because it harkens to some hick redneck with a big gut, lots of muscle and little brain. But that's just a guess.Originally Posted by GrayI'm curious about the origins of the Bubba legend... When was it created? if based on a real man, who was he? What was his crime and was he as much a threat in prison as the legend says? Hmmm, must do some internet research now to track down this universal prison legend
Quote:Originally Posted by FooIn a coma, you're blacked out. That's it. You've lost 10 years of your life (plus all the rehab time afterwards). You're ten years older, atrophied, possibly with complications from the coma, and there's nothing to show for it.
As long as the come meant I was truly oblivious to the passage of time, I'm down with that. If the question was instead them thinking me in a coma but me being conscious and aware of my surroundings but trapped in my body with no way to communicate... Then I would JUMP at prison.
Quote:Originally Posted by PyroWOULD YOU RATHER BE...

or
B) THREE FEET SHORTER THAN YOU ARE NOW?
I would have to go with A....
Assuming I don't get halfling agility and sneakiness and cool stuff like that... While still inconvienent, I think being "too" tall would be easier to deal with than "too short."
If nothing else, I could play basketball for a living... Or better yet, hockey! Chara and Myers have showed what an advantage a long reach can be for a hockey defenseman!! -
Quote:Well it could just be game changing rather than game killing...To have analogy with the events of the Omega Team's sacrifice, they'd have to arrange something like a raid where if failed the game would shut down forever... something that seems unlikely at best.
Given a decent story line and such I could imagine (not see actually happening but see theoretically) a task force that had to be completed by enough teams or Orobourus (sp? I usually get it wrong) would be destroyed forver... No more doing missions you missed, no more using it as a shortcut from one zone to another, etc...
Or (again, would never happen but theoretically) something that if failed would mean the utter destruction of the Rogue Islands.
These would never happen but in theory if it was would you risk a character? -
So far I'm stuck on Virtue so I haven't done more than create a few name holders on other servers... But the time will come when I use those names. When I do they will be the same characters as I have on Virtue.
While I'm not an altaholic I do like playing different powersets. So I have my 3 characters and I repeat them in different power sets with just slightly altered names... As I said in the bio thread (and which is relevent here too)
Quote:I have two versions of Daybreaker Alpha, two of Fenian and just one Caemgen but more will come... Rather than create alt after alt I have so far used the same characters with different power sets.
This works for Alpha since his powers come from his armor... Easy enough to have different suits with different powers.
It works for Fenian since her powers are magical in nature. She has a wide range of magical powers to draw from but it's easiest if she limits herself to a couple sets at a time for memorization and quickness
mayhap the reason Caemgen doesn't have a second toon yet is changing his powers doesn't work as easily... But I'm sure I'll think of something -
My only "problem" with the bio box is that, for RP purposes, most of what people put in there wouldn't be known to people just passing by, even if the hero was famous.
*shrug* Most are interesting to read though and add more to my enjoyment to the game than they subtract by giving info I shouldn't know... And I suppose a good RP would just ignore what they wouldn't know anyway. -
Hmmm, all I know about actual prisons is what I've seen on TV or in the movies...
I'm assuming Redheads Behind Bars 12 isn't a documentary but I've seen very few prisons depicted where you got unlimited internet, there was no threat of violence ever or which had food I'd be willing to eat...
Maybe those country club prisons but all in all I don't think I want to risk it -
Quote:So I looked around some, I can't help myself when it comes to shopping, can you imagine. Anyway, I wasn't happy with the size of the "bamboo pen" and "bamboo pen and touch" tablets, the drawing area is little bigger than a 3x5 notecard. So the next step up is a bamboo fun, which is effectively the "bamboo pen and touch" with a larger drawing area, I found a good deal on it at amazon, which doesn't show up in any of the regular "deal sites" I guess i'm not allowed to post a price but it's cheaper than the regular price but still more expensive than the smaller "pen and touch." Not to detract from the original poster but it's something to consider, perhaps the expense is too much for an introduction but if the inclination is already there then it's probably a good value. I just thought I would let the OP in on my "find"
Hope it's a win which ever one you decide to get.
So we can be expecting some cool arts from you soon then?? Cool!! -
A bit confused by the question...
Would my characters, if I was playing them In Character, go? - I think this is what you mean... And the answer is yes. Each of my three mains would go.
Caemgen would have very mixed reasons for going (heroic reasons, tired of being a demon faced human reasons, etc) but he would go.
Fenian Girl would be scared out of her wits but wouldn't be able to turn down Hero 1 and thereafter would feel too trapped by having said yes, by her innate goodness to bail out.
Daybreaker Alpha in many ways would prefer to just sit back, let the world spin, and drink beer as it happened... But at the end of the day he has a kind of soldier mentality that forces him to put up the fight that needs to be put up, no matter the odds or inconvienence to himself.
But I also almost read your question as to if I would send my character (as a game character) on a suicide mision... Would I enter a Task Force which, if failed (and maybe if won), meant deletion...
That I would find a silly thing to do since there is no upside... No betterment for anything by doing it.
It's one thing to make a sacrifice for something... Another thing entirely to do it for nothing. -
Fenian Girl was too young to participate on the Omega Team, in fact her powers were just beginning to manifest at about that time. But going on the "What if" theory that she was born about 5 years earlier but the rest of her life history held true, her letter would have gone something like this:
Quote:I'm scared. Really, truely scared.
Why am I the only one who's scared?
They're heroes. Real, true heroes. The rest of them... Not me. I'm just a runaway who finally woke up one day and decided to stop running, stop hiding, and do what little good I could.
I look around me and I see Hero 1 and all the other famous superheroes he's recruited and I know I don't belong here. The rest of them want to go save the world, I want to go home, put on my robe, snuggle up with my dog Baron and cry until this is all over with.They've always wanted to do what was right... I never knew what I wanted and just did what it took to get by.
Maybe I should have stayed selfish. Maybe I never should have decided to do "my part" in cleaning up the streets. After I beat down those family guys who were trying to make me and Kelly make dirty little films for them (and worse) I should have just kept looking out for myself... But no, I decided I should do more. I decided to play at being a hero. I decided to make sure the family never muscled any other runaways into doing that kind of thing...
Kelly was right - I am an idiot.
God, writing this thing is taking forever. I'm trying not to cry but... Why am I the only one who is scared to tears???
Hero 1 spotted me taking out one of the families illegal casinos on the docks in Indpendance Port. I have no idea how he knew my powers were magic based... I registered as a natural since I don't study books or cast spells or chant or anything... But somehow he knew. He told me how important magic was going to be to his mission... To the war... to humanity... He asked me to help.
I wanted to say no!
I wanted to run away.
I wanted to scream that it was all too big for me!
I take down the riff raff, the small timers. The family are my "arch enemies." I take down some Sky Pirates or Freakshow if I'm feeling ambitious and spunky. I'd probably wet myself and faint if I ever actually glimpes a real super villian like Nemesis or Lord Recluse. I'm too small time for this crap! How could Hero 1 not see that????
What the hell was I going to do? Say no to Hero 1?
I don't think I said yes... I mumbled something though. I think I faintly bobbed my head up and down a bit but maybe I was actually close to fainting? Anyway, he smiled a big toothy smile. He put his arm around my shoulders. He told me he was proud of me and that, come what may, we would stand together...
That was then. Now? Now he's saying to write a letter to the future... A future we're unlikely to see.
I want to see that future! Dammit, this is so unfair!!
Anyway, I hope you can read this through all the smudges and wet spots. I try to only cry when I'm alone but sometimes I can't help it. I don't really think this is the kind of letter he wanted us to write... I think he wanted something brave and profound and inspiring... Screw him. Whether this works or not I think whatever future there is should know that at least one of us "heroes" were scared and afraid and wanted nothing more badly than to just see her dog again and to hug him and to give him biscuits and scratch his tummy and to love him...
Sorry, had to take a break there.
I'm going to do what I can. I'm going to try to be brave. I will do my best. That's all I can promise though.

p.s. I swear to god almighty and all the saints in heaven that if Calvin doesn't take Baron in and take care of him I will come back and haunt him to hell and back!!!!!! -
I tend to think prison isn't quite as bad as Oz but I doubt there's many who have it as easy as Red did...
Though I did see an MSNBC show Lockup which focused on an Amsterdam (I think?) prison... Guards have no weapons, cells bigger than NYC apartments and breaking out not a crime (the theft of clothes is though if you take your prison uniform...) those cells had tv, small appliances, closets, seperate private bathrooms.... I'd pick prison if it was in that prison. -
You do know Jason Alexander is the name of the actor who played George in Seinfeld, right?? Just checking.
-
Sorry but I'm a skeptic... Scoop is dead until I'm proved wrong.
(but I really, really hope to be proved wrong) -
I have three characters and all have some sort of bio in game and much much more fleshed out back stories in my head.
On the other hand, not all my toons have bios
I have two versions of Daybreaker Alpha, two of Fenian and just one Caemgen but more will come... Rather than create alt after alt I have so far used the same characters with different power sets.
This works for Alpha since his powers come from his armor... Easy enough to have different suits with different powers.
It works for Fenian since her powers are magical in nature. She has a wide range of magical powers to draw from but it's easiest if she limits herself to a couple sets at a time for memorization and quickness
mayhap the reason Caemgen doesn't have a second toon yet is changing his powers doesn't work as easily... But I'm sure I'll think of something
Straying from topic though... So original toons all have a bio on them but I haven't bothered cutting it over to the "alts" yet... -
Pretty cool Pyro... Did it come with the orange tint or was that you? If it came thus, it must have been destined, if not then nice touch up!
Hmm, all the birthday threads and gift arts have me remembering a different board I used to be on... People raced to start the Bday threads even for people they didn't know. To amuse myself I started changing my bday everyday... I think I got 4 or 6 happy bday threads started for me before anyone called me on it. Wonder if that would work here?????
