@Enki However that said, I happened to stumble across this thread, and am rather loving the idea of combat between you and my Ranger...if you could clarify his abilities and whatnot for me.
Then those pictures pretty accurately describe him. And are him-endorsed after the fact as being a pretty fair description.
I asked him about the possibility of RP, he hasn't given me any sort of real answer yet.
And sure, I'd be fine with being around in RS at some point...I should probably see about getting my RS character actually made in some way though. I never actually made up anything about him.
oOOOooooh...it's been a while since I saw another Runescape player. I've been meaning to get back into that...if only they hadn't killed off Guthix...
It is...a bit more than that. It is pretty much THE Halo Machinima, and since season 6, they've used the Halo 3D models to create various scenes like that one. It started with fairly low quality in Halo CE, then to Halo 2 in season 3, 4, and 5. Then in season 6 they switched to Halo 3, and started being far more awesome than before, and have since just kept getting better. Here's a link to their website...they even have it on Amazon video, Netflix, and DVD. Though you can watch it all online. If you want to skip to where it gets awesome, start at Season 6, that is a pretty good point. If you want to understand the full backstory and future references though, you'll have to start at Season 1.
Well, if your version of "hip dude" includes a combination of this, (assuming you can see those pictures that I'm certain I didn't post right)
this,
and these guys,
then yeah, I would say that is a fair description.
As for the real-time chatroom idea...I'm not sure. As I said, he is a bit less of the writer required for most roleplay, which is why he settles for a lot of talk but little actual roleplay. Though again, if he did his actions through me, then the biggest problem would be the time, making sure we are both available at the same time...plus you. Though that said, I also originate from primarily game-based RP...still do...am doing at the moment...with forum RP added. My old haunt is the best medieval Minecraft RP server in existance, (Massivecraft) with a very large amount of both high RP talent, and critique for getting better. I also am quite active in RPing in SWTOR, and have done a few good RPs in Starcraft 2, and even Halo Combat Evolved a few times. Which is to say, I would be more than willing to RP with you via chatroom, or in any one of those games at any time available to the both of us.
Heheh, I'll ask him about specifics, but he probably would find no particular difference between ranked or unranked. And as I said, he'd probably want to go through me to actually write up his posts, although he might be willing to make an account to work through, and I am rather ill-disposed towards the idea of losing a ranked battle via being puppeted. Although...that does bring to mind...what about a Red vs Blue style fight? (Here is me assuming you know of what I speak, and intending on making a recommendation if you don't.)
Also in the interests of full disclosure, the source would be my brother, who generally goes by the username Natony_132. And yes, he is an un-biased source, and also my brother...as I said, he is the person I bounce all my fantasy or sci-fi scenarios or tech off of. Two opposing space forces, one of them stationary with a hyperspace inhibitor field and the other coming towards them in hyperspace, having already launched missiles at the first force, and which will arrive at the same time as the hyperspace force, question being whether aboard the biggest ship in the fleet or on a small external buoy is most effective for the end result of the engagement? That is the sort of thing I might bounce off him if I am having trouble formulating my own opinion, or want a second one. Same goes for...well, most of that sort of thing. Or what is the solution for a vampiric monster running into it's underground lair? His answer, tap his mage's cane and compress the whole tunnel network, smashing anything inside to paste. Yeah, he would have had a much easier time against you...Also against me because magical attacks and barriers and whatnot. One of these days I'll have to come up with a roleplay that includes his character...
Um...well bloody hell, I have no idea how to react to that. That sounds like a character I'm scared to go up against...when my source heard of the possibility of an un-powered human fight, he just gestured to the array of airsoft magazines next to him and started listing the weapon's he'd bring in that situation. I was thinking military body armor, dual pistols and some knives, and was ready to google martial arts moves and model the effects. Then you show me this. And I'm thinking, I can't think of any character I would possibly create whom I'd be willing to allow to endure such humiliation in the event that you get even one hit in. I concede any match with that character due to intimidation. :)
Death, torture, maiming, psychological harm, crippling, dismemberment, theft of honor or honorable defeat are all things I expect and can deal with...but this goes beyond all that!
I'm afraid I seem to have not seen the next page that your last post created, and thus created my next counter-post over the last hour in the heated nature of the previous argument. Having now seen it after stating those words, I would normally find myself somewhat at a loss for more...except that really, I always have words for pretty much any situation, otherwise I wouldn't have these. That said, I hate to waste a good tirade, and so if you feel like it the one I wrote out prior to this edit is in the hider below, along with my similarly inflammatory response to Vordak in the one under that, which was carefully worded to match yours in spirit. Of course, since we are now in let's end this apology stage, I beg you to please either not view it, or be very careful to view it as past history only, and not the spirit of this new reply. With regards to the let's end this apology stage, please know that I accept your apology and extend my own in kind. As you have stated your previous words to be unworthy of anything beyond the gutter, I'm deeply sorry for having descended some distance to the same gutter, at which point those words wallowed together in harmonic discord for the last week. Don't worry about any issues either of our argumentative natures may have caused, I am as happy to end an argument peacefully as I am to jump headfirst into one and feel superior to my adversary as I try to conduct my argument in a manner which I find more professional, despite being similarly regrettable afterwards. Also please know that despite the hostile words exchanged on both sides, I happen to highly enjoy arguments and debates of most types, and so enjoyed quite a lot this massive exchange of hostile words. Rarely do I find an argumentative opponent willing to match me in argument length for a long period of time with any arguments that could be construed to have a modigm of sense, thus while the content of this argument is worthy of scorn, there is no need to be worried about my having vilified you in my mind forever, and I hope the same can be said of myself in your mind. Looking cowardly is another thing you need not concern yourself about...as the person who's main character is an assassin-type character who survives by avoiding the match he can't win, running from the enemy he intends to beat, and vanishing whenever the scene looks bad, I can easily say that I bear you no fault either for your challenge, or for the retraction thereof. That said, if you really wanted to have that little contest of skill you challenged me to...at lower stakes...in a friendly manner...then I would be perfectly fine with it... :) I also feel that one point you made prior deserves being addressed now. You make an excellent point that Cruallassar the character is not really a low-level player, though his use as such stemmed from an insufficient knowledge of what low-level really means. Therefore, I first say straight out that Cruallassar is a mid-level enemy, (though I doubt I will ever have a high-level one) and that due to such, I concede my part of this match, having no right to have participated in it. Though it was fun. And furthermore, your RP ability, despite any insinuations I may have made earlier, is certainly of a high order, (I don't say highest only because I don't know if I know what that looks like, and have seen roleplayers who are probably better than either of us, and not because the sentiment is not present.) regardless of the truth or falsehood of previous statements. I further thank you for your instructive introduction to arena combat, the roleplay crowds I am used to have a policy of asking before assuming, when in this case it is more beneficial to assume, lest their mind's situation has a very different and less favorable turn of events in mind. I am sure this knowledge will be most useful in later RPs.
In conclusion, I will gladly grant you my forgiveness and hope the same can be said of my own apology, and engage in this handshake you invite me to...and I'll even remove the hidden wrist blade beforehand. :)
(Read the hiders below at your own peril, they were posted prior to seeing situation-changing events, and thus the opinions contained therein should not be assumed to reflect the writer's current opinion or viewpoint...though he will probably defend them to the death should they be questioned. They were not deleted because why waste a good tirade? I spent an hour composing that thing!)
You sure?
I'd really prefer it if you didn't, but if you insist...even though the post it was replying to has been deleted...
You know what, I deleted it anyway. Sorry.
Yeah, I deleted this one too. Oh well.
But blast I was looking forward to fighting that other shadow-wielder...
Jacos's strike is blocked, but he has more than simple punches up his sleeve. With a quick turn of his hand, he snatches the enemy's wrist and pulls back, trying to send her off balance. At the same time, the longsword in his other hand rises up, preparing for a downward slash at his opponent. She was strong to block even a fractional-strength concussive strike, and the magical flames rising in her other hand were impressive...but such was not enough to prove her worthy.
