Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

... Did you ever do the Antoine one?

Oh wow, I completely forgot about that. *ponders*

I'll start on it first thing tomorrow then.

Edit - You got a picture of him? I can't find one.

[kpenguin]

Fine.

So the Pope talked Atilla out of it. Same difference.

Epic diplomacy checks are never insignificant.

"I'm going to kill all your men, rape all your women, enslave all your children, and take all your stuff! Arrrrr!"
"How about you... don't?"
"Okay"

[X2]

A time lord, yeah. I shall call him:

...

Rusoba

With a expression.

So I'm playing Assassins Creed. And people keep talking about Saladin coming to retake jerusalem from the Crusaders. And my thought is "Okay, that makes sense"


Yet here I am in Jerusalem, and with the exception of two templars, one on a street and one skulking in a graveyard, I havn't seen any signs of crusaders.




The fact that people In Jerusalem are shouting about Saladin coming to retake Jerusalem from the Crusaders which arn't there, well...yeah.

...The Templar have invented stealth fields?

Unless all the Arabic-looking guards are actually Crusaders in disguise.

[Mina Kobold]

Unless all the Arabic-looking guards are actually Crusaders in disguise.

Or just the city guards doing their job because if not they got trouble with an army of crusaders? Or they are some of the christians living there (did you think no-one was converted)

[Nameless]

I mean we all though Nameless was a Boy... And I know a few other people of questionable gender

I am a boy. T_T

The Huns never sacked Rome. They displaced the guys who did sack Rome.

You mean the Goths?

Am I missing something here? o.O

No.

• Your character must be appropriate, setting-wise and be fair to the rest of the cast (no overpowered weapons or abilities). All characters must come from Avbaroy and related grounds.

Hey.
Hey.
If you're allowed to use your D&D characters I'm allowed to use my Exalted character.
...
Though does it count if the character themselves is from Avbaroy and such but the powers are not?

Just feels like "Sure, you can play the game, but you have to deal with the fact that this beartrap could close over your hands at any time..." to me.

Well when the game you're playing is "Let's all do handstands through this field of beartraps", then...

Try reading manga, sniping never goes that easy (to use a realistic example the person shot at might have magical defences that either discovers the sniper or save his life and thus the sniper now have to fight someone likely a lot better at close to mid range combat than him)

Go read Golgo 13. Or rather, since you're what, fourteen? Don't.

[kpenguin]

You mean the Goths?

Visigoths specifically, but yes.

[Mina Kobold]

I am a boy. T_T



You mean the Goths?



No.

He is guys, stop the game before someone gets hurt (that means if someone don't like you making fun of him then don't)

[kpenguin]

I, for one, always thought Nameless was a guy. A guy with boobies, but a guy nonetheless.

[Nameless]

Visigoths specifically, but yes.

Didn't the Goths split into the Visi and Ostrogoths after the started sacking Rome?

I don't know what exalted is but all the DnD characters used are from Avbaroy along with their powers

How do you get powers from outside the borders of the universe when only a deity or the TJH team can get there

Doesn't sound like a fun game.

I'm fifteen so it should be okay But I was speaking of the Dragon Ballish type of manga (though stuff like it does occur in others too) Where they try to snipe the hero In which case it ever ever work (he either dodged it was too strong to be hurt by it or was standing right behind the sniper) I bet that isn't the case in that Golgo manga (because if the hero dies then it's over you know). By the way why shouldn't I read it?

[kpenguin]

Pretty sure it was specifically the Visigoths, led by Alaric, who sacked Rome.

[Squark]

Err....


Rome was sacked dozens of times.


You're probably both right.

[Mina Kobold]

You're probably both right.

The romans kept the city until the fifth or sixth century where a barbaric tribe invaded it and ended the roman empire once and for all, I'm pretty sure that tribe is what they discuss because afterwards while it did change hands many times until the Catholics got it they can't really be counted in (because Rome commonly also refers to the roman empire)

[kpenguin]

Dozens is an overstatement.

An accident involving a high-ranking Sidereal and the Loom of Fate.

The Exalted system is tied fairly solidly to its setting, see.

Aah, that makes sense. Golgo 13 is the hero, see. And you shouldn't read it because it's basically like a Japanese James Bond, only with more sex and violence.

A what and the whatnow?

I meant the bear trap game

Yeah that sounds bad (don't expect me to read it ever nomatter how old I get)

[Green-Shirt Q]

*comes back from being "away for the weekend"*

Alright, what did I miss....

1) My name was finally changed! Huzzah!
2) Rand left?! NOOOO!

Even though he lost all of his awesomeness....He was still my, to use immature children's terms, "Best Friend" on these forums.

3) Bad Mask! How can you make the introduction secret?! We've been waiting for it for a while, now!!
4) FFF STILL ISN'T FINISHED! That's good, I guess. I wouldn't want it to finish without me.
5) The rules about FI dying....I don't know what to think about them. At first I thought they were stupid, but then when they were boiled down to "characters get killed when they do things that force them to die" I now feel the urge to say "....Wow. Thanks for the insight, oh wise Mad Mask of high wisdom. "
6) This post keeps getting eaten! WHAT THE HELL?! I THOUGHT WE WERE PAST THAT!

In FFF there has been several times when one should have died but then pulls a magguffin out of the hat and survives, you can't get easily away with that in FI I think.

Um...

BLATANT LIE!

What if you offered nameless pie.

[Mad Mask]

What if you offered nameless pie.

Lord Plot himself will intervene and prevent Nameless from resurrecting you.

[Lemming]

You were gone?

6) This post keeps getting eaten! WHAT THE HELL?! I THOUGHT WE WERE PAST THAT!

Um...
What?

[CrimsonAngel]

Noooooooooo!

[Green-Shirt Q]

Um...
What?

My post. When I tried to post, my computer wouldn't allow it. It was a huge and annoying problem a little while ago.

[Mina Kobold]

What if you offered nameless pie.

He'd get fired for ressurecting you.
