8-Bit Theatre in the Playground [discussion]

[Lord Herman]

This is the discussion thread of the 8-Bit Theatre in the Playground contest.

Here, you can discuss your nominations, campaign for votes, or discuss anything remotely relevant to the contest.

There are no waffles in this thread. Honest.

[Almighty Salmon]

Oh man, MasatoHyuga is gonna love this!

Now where are those waffles..

[banjo1985]

Yep Masato Hyuga fits the bill, and there's someone running around with Edea and Vivi avatars I've made who would be good for Black Mages!

I mIght route out my old FFX Lulu avatar for this, see if I can nick a copule of votes

EDIT - There we go

Vote for Banjo as blackmage in the playground!

*Grins cheekily at blatant drive for something he's not cut out for*

[Thanatos 51-50]

Thanatos5150 for Thief in the playground?

[Lord Magtok]

Hmm...I get the **** comically beaten out of me on a nearly-daily basis. I should probably go with Black Mage.

[Ganurath]

Gan thought Thief better. Magtok launch mass blackmail campaign earlier, and AMEN minions kinda like law ninja.

[BRC]

I might go for fighter in the playground, lemme find some time to replace the mouse in my avvy with sword-chucks.

[Skippy]

Umm... I like swords?

[Castaras]

...White mage?

Someone voted me White Mage? o.O

And you'll have to explain alot of this to me...I'll probably still vote, but I've never actually read 8-bit theatre...<.< >.>

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

gullible, lovable, marketable and dumb as a post.


Vote Atreyu for Fighter!!!
But he doesn't like swords??
Cares about the health and well being of others, casts healing magic.

Vote Atreyu for white mage.
But he only has two healing spells a day and they're weak

Is technically a personification of Death as well as a low level God in Town.
Vote Atreyu for Red mage
That's not really being a munchkin, you know? He doesn't use his powers.

[Supagoof]

Vote for Bano as blackmage in the playground!

*Grins cheekily at blatant drive for something he's not cut out for*

Okay, I'll go change my vote to Bano then. If you're going to mispell your own name....

Explanation of my votes.
I'll agree that MasatoHyuga is probably the best for red mage, since A. He's been campaigning for it for like the last three ITP compitions and B. (I apologize in advance) I don't really know what 8-bit theatre is about. So I figured I'd nominate to go against him the juggernaut of vote stealing - Alarra and for fun, Moon_Called, because I like a dirty campaign.

For others, since I know so little about 8-bit, I put in what I thought of reading the titles. if you can convince me otherwise, I'll change my nominations. So you'll have to A. Better explain the category to me, and B. why you best fit that category. Don't try to bribe or blackmail - as this time around, I figure since I know so little about 8-bit, my focus will be in helping those who are convincing me that they are most like [insert 8-bit character], not the ones who are circumventing the method by offering pies/waffles/cookies/stars/bars/planes/trains/and cars for the win.

[banjo1985]

Hurray one vote for Bano...or Banjo...or Banjulhu....whatever

I feel my work here is done, now everyone vote for forumites that are actually Black Mages, as they deserve it!

I suggest Scorpina (she's a witch, can't get a much blacker mage) and Death your friend the Reaper!

[Haruki-kun]

Someone vote for me as White Mage! It's the only one that seems to fit me.

Is it just me or does the Red Mage category look a little one-sided?

Just a little. That's why I nominated Alarra and Moon_Called, just to make it interesting.

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

Heh, I always enjoy watching these things, and my avatar as the Dark Magician almost fits in. Sure I had no idea this contest was even on when one of my lady friends made it for me, but I can at least pretend I got it commissioned for this

Black Magicians Mage's need to stick together with appropriate meat shields!

[Volug]

[Madmal]

-i'm not evil
-i'm not overly greedy

and i don't know how to describe WM...

and Masato Hyuga is already a good candidate for RM...

so, i don't i have chance to win an award here...

[CurlyKitGirl]

Um yeah. I appear to be a popular choice for White Mage amongst other thigs so:

Nominate Curly for White Mage and stuff!

[MrEdwardNigma]

Damn, why couldn't they have a purple or green mage!

[Morty]

Hm. Looks like I've been voted as Black Mage in The Playground, but that's just one vote, and the competition is strong, so I guess I won't bother, even though I like BM and 8-Bit Theater.

[Thanatos 51-50]

I just gotta try to stem this tide:
Da Rogue? For Thief?

C'mon, people: Think. Da Rogue is CLEARLY Chaotic, whereas thief is CLEARLY Lawful. It just won't work!
(Sorry, Da Rogue)

I'll be casting my nominations later today. Nominate Thanatos5150 for Thief in the Playground!
(I have reasons, but I'm saving them for my campagin)

[DraPrime]

Nominate me for fighter! Why?

• I like swords
• I wear armor
• I'm a bumbling fool
• I have good intentions
• I help my enemies
• Sword chucks yo!

[The_Chilli_God]

Ooh, man, I got the best slogan ever:

Vote The Chilli God: The Guy Who Makes Your Propaganda Siggies!
Because they might not be spray-painted sheets of cardboard!

I'd so campaign for Akbar, if there was a slot open.

[FoE]

While I appreciate everyone nominating me for the 8-Bit in the Playground contest, I really have to decline. I don't know anything about 8-Bit Theatre, so I can't really say whether or not I'm like Thief. And I would prefer to be nominated as a character with whom I identify and whose character I do justice, like Sabine; otherwise this is just a popularity contest. Which I'm not big on.

Anyone who's nominated me for Thief should switch their votes to Thanatos5150. He's very clearly a sneaky rogue, and unlike me, he actually wants the title.

Vote Thanatos5150 for Thief in the Playground!

[SurlySeraph]

Alright, I've noticed that quite a few people are nominating me for Fighter. I admit that I have more in common with Fighter than with, say, White Mage. White Mage is highly innocent, always tries to help people in the short term without thinking about long term consequences (when she heals Black Mage, for example), and tries to act on her own initiative. I'm cynical, obsessed with the Greater Good, and fanatically obedient to authority. Nope.

However, I have very little in common with Fighter. First of all, I'm zealous, not stupid. I notice when people dislike me, I take vengeance when they try to kill me, and my brain uses enough oxygen that I am capable of drowning. Second, I'm not obsessed with swords. I certainly use swords, but just look at my avatar. Axes take priority over swords. In fact, I'm not even obsessed with weaponry; I am perfectly willing to punch people or use magic. Third, I don't wear red. Red is an exuberant, immodest, lively color. Red is associated with passion, love, and excitement. Does that sound like me? No, it does not. Creating an orderly list of ways in which I am different from Fighter, and using parallel point-by-point contrasting to show how I am different from White Mage, proves that.

Don't vote for me for Fighter.

[DraPrime]

Axes take priority over swords.

Heresy I say!

[Volug]

heheheh... I got my nominations ready, and the biggest nomination speach i ever had..... I'll post it some day when im not busy. Time to re-do my sig.
