Yes, I love both the Dune and the Shannara series.  You'll be very happy.

Hah.  I keep reading that guy's name as Alazar is Black.  But I will not make a racist comment.

Mostly because, you know, I'm not racist.  XD

All because of my restraining order.  :)

Maybe.

Ana Ng -TMBG

Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
To the name of this town in a desk-top globe
Exit wound in a foreign nation
Showing the home of the one this was written for

My apartment looks upside down from there
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink
And her voice is a backwards record
It's like a whirlpool and it never ends

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

All alone at the '64 World's Fair
Eighty dolls yelling Small girl after all
Who was at the Dupont Pavilion?
Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?

Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire
To the horn on the pole at the bus depot
And in the back of the edge of hearing
These are the words the voice was repeating:

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge:
I don't want the world, I just want your half

They don't need me here, and I know you're there
Where the world goes by like the humid air
And it sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks like a broken record

Everything sticks until it goes away
And the truth is, we don't know anything

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

That's the Music video.  It's... interesting.

Me.

Oh, hi.

After about two seconds' searching on Google I came up with this:



Is this CIWWAF?

They look like they're 12.

People are too easily offended these days.? =\

So says someone who got all angry when a certain clever, good-looking, and fantastically witty young board member made a "TR Penguin" account.

...I don't even remember that.  But whatever.  You caught me.

Hello.  Join Otaku Melee.

Hello.  Join Otaku Melee.

Hi.  Join Otaku Melee.

Yes.  Basicly, anything is acceptable as long as it follows the guidelines.

[Name:Age:Gender:Weaponry:Physical Description:Mental/emotional description:History:Other (optional):]

First of all, three reasons why this topic belongs in GD rather than the RP forum:
1. The Otaku Melee is by no means ?traditional role-playing?.  It?s more of an extremely involved forum game.
2. Forum members who are not normally involved in role-playing may want to try this.
3. Who even goes to the RPing forum anyway?  I want people to see this.

Otaku Melee

Summary:
In this game, there are eight players plus a Game Master.  The GM, of course, runs the game.  The eight players (no more, no less) will each control ONE character. Character guidelines are below.  These characters will engage in a fight to the death in an unknown setting.  Alliances will form and war will break out.  After each round, the setting will change and one character will die.  Which character it will be is based, not on the strength of the character, but on the strength of the writer.  The weakest writer (based on frequency and quality of posts) will be the one whose character bites the dust.  At the end, there will only be one writer left, who will earn the right to host a second Otaku Melee.

Character Guidelines:
1. Your character MUST be humanoid.  Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, androids, and many others are examples of humanoid characters.  Washing machines, ferrets, rats, and bulldozers are not.  NO ANIMALS.  Shape shifters, however, are OK.
2. Magic is OK, even slightly encouraged, but please have limitations on your character.  If he/she can shapeshift, limit it to only a few forms.  If he/she can read minds, limit it so they doing so takes a good deal of their strength.  You get the idea.
3. Characters MUST be original.  No Martin the Warriors or Don Quixotes.
4. To submit a character, you must fill out the following profile:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Weaponry:
Physical Description:
Mental/emotional description:
History:
Other (optional):

The last four (or three, depending if you have anything else to add for ?other?) should probably be at least a paragraph long.

Do not post the profile in this forum.  PM it to me.  BY FILLING OUT THIS PROFILE, YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU WILL BE AN ACTIVE PLAYER IN THE GAME.

There are two practices extremely frowned upon in this game: god-moding and player-controlling. These are considered very unsporting, and will count against you when the GM is considering who to kill off.

God-moding is when you treat your character as though he were invincible. Theoretically, a character can have infinite power, but if he constantly taps into it to beat the ever-loving snot out of all of the other characters. Even though the story is about characters fighting, the actual battle is one of writing skill, and it's both boring and poor writing to have a character that has no faults. Heck, your character could lose every fight he takes part in, but if you're the best writer, you'll still win.

Player-controlling is when you write extensively about the thoughts and actions of a character other than your own, especially when your portrayal of the character is inaccurate. This rule becomes laxer as the game goes on and you learn more about the subtleties of the characters of others; after all, how are you supposed to write well if you can only talk about one character? Still, try to avoid this near the beginning. The GM will probably be lenient on you for this one unless the player who owns that character complains.

On another note, if you're not prepared to have your character altered by others to at least some degree, please do not sign up. It WILL happen. Only in the case of severe mischaracterization will the GM request a poster to change their post/penalize the poster.

Only eight people will be accepted for this game.  It works on a first come, first serve basis.  After I receive eight profiles, the signups will be closed.  I reserve the right to not accept a character into the game based on badly filled out profiles.   This probably will not happen, however.

After eight people sign up, I will post the prologue and set the stage for the game to begin.

Am I the only one who saw this topic and thought about Ragefur and the old HPRs?
