[Shades of Gray]

Szilard, you are constantly listed as "offline", do you do that on purpose, or do you log in only while making a post, then log off/close the window. Don't think I've ever seen you with the green light.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Could we please get onto a topic of conversation that's at least partially relevant to the thread?

[memnarch]

It be called "Invisibility Mode". Enables from "edit options" in the user cp.

[kpenguin]

A glance at Szilard's profile tells me that the page doesn't list the last time Szilard's been online.

[memnarch]

Oh yeah.

I have those. I can export them to here tomorrow, as I'm posting this on my laptop.

EDIT: Forget who, and that's really bad.

You posting them soon?

[Green-Shirt Q]

Oh look it's Olimar from Pikmin.

Where?!

Nothing beats Ontario.

NOTHING

HELL YEAH!

[Szilard]

I turned invisibility on a couple months ago.

[Keris]

In Plot 3 maybe?
Him and his mutant vegetables... I will bring the full fury of Haaluite law upon him when I can be bothered!

I live in Texas...

EDIT: Shades of gray, Holy crap. Is there a way to transfer things you find on the internet into inkscape things!

[memnarch]

Crim; yep, it's called "tracing".

[Green-Shirt Q]

The tell me, is it fun to be a cowboy?

I can imagine it is, because cowboys are so cool, second only to myself, us Canadians, pirates, ninjas and occasionally monkeys on the awsome-o-meter.

Gorbash Kazdar made 'em. He's taken them down now, but I'm fairly certain it was him.

I was working on one of those mega template sheets to.. I should probably update it, seeing as it's all about half a year old. Stupid time, damn thing just wont stand still.

However on the awesome-o-meter, Vikings riding giant eagles are waaaay above you.

[Serpentine]

I vaguely remember someone having a nice template sheet that they used for making characters. Had weapon designs, body outline, things like that.

Question, who was it?

I made body templates, but not weapon ones. Maybe I should... but I just copy-paste from past works. Let me know if you want it, anyway.

I can totally legitimately post here, cuz I had a go at the very first one!

Don't stretch it. The Vikings can ride giant eagles but the cats must ride something smaller, their might liesv in cuteness and giant eagles with them on just looks silly (small flying boats with Viking kitties would be awesome)


Also: fun avvy

The viking kitties obviously ride non-giant eagles.

And Bears. Viking Kitties riding Bears...With Laser Vision.

Also, what are you doing here?

[Serpentine]

I'll tell you what I'm not doing here. I absolutely did not do a search for my own name, find it here and decide to comment on it, then got suspiciously directly reminded of an old site I used to like. No sir-ree.
<.<

But I really did take part once!

[Mina Kobold]

Don't make me mad again Nameless (), Brc (Hi..) and Serpentine (whom is a good artist I heard). Bears are silly with cats on them and lasers aren't improving it but eagles on the other hand...

On a different topic that video don't make sense since a) Vikings didn't have horns in their helmets, b) Scandinavia aint really cold, c) Wich western shore could they sail to while leaving the coast, and d) They only sang when drunk wich they wheren't while sailing.
But else it's fun.

A) probably not, B) it is quite cold, depending on what you compare it with and where in scandinavia you are (Denmark is quite tropical I've heard ), C) western shore? the baltic nations and russia ofcourse - the swedish vikings did that. D) I personally think worksongs have been sung on many a vikingship while putting your muscles at work by the oars.

And didn't Gorbash Kazdar put up a quite big collection of templates for weapons, clothes, harstyles and bodies?

Cold is a relative term, I'm sure Scandinavians wouldn't consider it cold (I'll need to ask my norwegian cousin that), in the same way that, say, arabs may consider their homeland Hot.
The horns in the helmet thing is not true though, that is widely acknowledged.
Also, please stop taking random silly things as insults to your cultural heritage, it gets kinda annoying.

Well, the song's actually a classic by Led Zeppelin, but aside from that:
a) No, though the Celts did. It's just a popular image, and I don't think they were really going for historical accuracy.
b) Uh... Yes it is At the very least, bits of it are, at the very very least it is in winter, and furthermore there were/are plenty of Vikings in Iceland, which is plenty cold.
c) Assuming "western shore" could refer to "shore to the West", it'd probably be the UK.
d) I find it hard to believe any people only sing when drunk.

Seriously though. It's a video of kittens. Viking kittens. Wielding weapons. On a boat. Why the bajeebus are you complaining about that stuff?

Elder: I don't even belong in this thread, and even I know someone already posted those templates

I mean... Yes I do belong here <.<

[Fawkes]

Serpy, Keveak perceives any references to vikings as slights against his cultural advantage. We don't know why. Don't bother questioning it, just ignore/make fun of him, that's what we do.
