Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XIII, No Plot for YOU!

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Then why would you bring it up in the first place?

[Wreckingrocc]

Nice avatar, Mecha. I love it :)

Are you American?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Texas is part of America if I remember correctly.

His British'ness is a lie! A lie I say!

[Illiterate Scribe]

In the spirit of Mechafox's avatar, I would like to tell you that

Nazi Germany was probably politically suspect.

Now, I'm going to leave it there. Don't answer, or that would be political discussion.

[memnarch]

Our question exactly TnD.

[Lyinginbedmon]

So here's a question for people:

Should I follow the Simbel probe to it's logical conclusion, or endeavour to make another Leroy & Salmon comic?

Be forewarned: Either option will likely take me a few days to compose, I've got a lot to do tomorrow and a driving test on Thursday, and it's my first week back after half-term to boot.

[Zweanslord]

Hold on a bit with the probe, I've been working in secret (today) about that Simbul probe.. I hope to get it done this eve.

[Fawkes]

Does the probe have to take place immediately after 863 or whatever?

Yeah, go for it. There's no rush.

No, it doesn't, mostly it just needs to go after #863 so we actually see them ordering the probe launch.

[memnarch]

so then we have 863a and 863b?

Leroy Salmon comic would be good.

CANNOT UNSEE.

If so, judging by the cross, Onasuma is sterile to the point of tissue necrosis.

I finished up a short Simbol probe video. I also put the link on the normal thread.

I probably should have put some music behind that, but I would not know what to put there. Voice is not fantastic either, but it is getting late here.

Provided me with some experience with flash, though it is very meh to see so much time being invested to produce a 22 second video (large part of both afternoon and evening). Oh well, decent enough first short movie I would say. Though the graphics are sharper with a normal flash file.

I hope you do not mind the use of the Probe in the movie, Lyinginbedmon. But it is a relatively simple object to use, unlike characters.

Comments/criticism are very welcome.

We are the Playground. We are Unified. We are One.

Except Tiffany, she continues to defy Us, and will be delt with.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Attention all people who have made comics for Sprite Wars recently!

I wish to update the archive, but I've put it off for so long that there are many comics lost in the many pages of the art thread.

So please, if you can help make it easier for me, please repost all the comics you've made that aren't in the archive here (preferably in a spoiler) so that I can find them and stick them into the archive.

"I'm holdin' on a rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearin' what your sayin'
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
Tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around
It's too late"

I cry for the wounded ABR.

[Shades of Gray]

I might make a TABR comic soon. Frankly cause I have ZERO motivation to make a SDSB or FFF comic.

Here's my idea for my SDSB (Zero will GAH!)

Spoiler

Blue Dude with bombs: *looks into bag* All I see is three cents, a paperclip, and half a tuna sandwich.

Kobold and Blue Dude both look at That dude with the suit and cigar.

Dude With Cigar: What, these cigars are expensive! Do you know how much it costs to make the little crosses on them?

Blue Dude: I'm sorry, but until you pay me, I'm going to need to follow you around, and you'll pay me 10% of all of your money earned, until you pay off your debt.

Okay then...

[Green-Shirt Q]

Friends. ABRers. Countrymen. Lend me your ears.

We cannot let skum like Omega and Onasuma (no offense) take our plots! Without them, I'd have nothing to do! The ABR plots are pretty much the only things that keep me coming back to the playground forums!

So please, help me fight back. All who have ever made a plot comic, all who have made a backstory for their characters really worked on and thought out, those who have added to the wiki.......

*gets on horse*

They can take our character's lives (in non-canon), but they'll never take it in-canon (Or take our freedom)!

Who's with me?!

[Omega]

Well shall see.

[Ninja Chocobo]

I...am markedly vexed.
And do you know why?
It's because of Omega and Onasuma going on about the "True ABR". This is the "True ABR". It has evolved from the mindless slaughter of the old days to a far higher level. It's not as though you bemoan Australopithecus for driving out the regular old monkeys, or for each successive stage of our own evolution for getting further than the last one. You don't see a gorilla and shout "Look! A True Human!"

There's a reason that so many people became involved in the plot. It's because they enjoyed it more, the feeling of contributing their own efforts to a whole much larger than themselves*, rather than churning out one-panel "RARGH I SHOT YOU" drivel, and creating something with its own audience, separate from the participants.

Now, violence still has a definite place in the plot, but it is more refined, more sophisticated. Much like comparing primitive rock-hurling fights to the duelling of the middle ages on.

You're welcome to partake in these baser killings, but calling it the "True ABR" is a misnomer of the highest possible calibre.

*Note: I'm generalising based on my own experience.

*claps sarcastically*

There is nothing to be vexed about. I am for the mindless killing; either your down or your not. There is no confusion there.

Now your opinion has been read and is noted.
But the True ABR is only random kills the original. If you want a Plot, make a fracking backstory or something generic like that. No Plots, I'm glad you enjoy 3 Mains Plots and various Side Plots, but that is not what TABR is about. From the beginning I remember talk about teams, then we said "no teams". Now there is a Plot and now people are saying "no plots" and your saying that is what ABR has become and should just accept it? Hah, I laugh at your feeble, feeble logic.

And I'm sick and tried of "Non-Cannon" and "Cannon" rules. I'll follow the TABR rules.

I am for the mindless killing; either your down or your not. Death to all those who oppose the TABR.

And I shall be the mass-random-serial-killer. Fear me and all that I stand for.
