I'm getting so tired of some of the boring and unoriginal crap that people post here. It reminds me too much of Gaia...

I feel the same but as was already said most people don't have the time. I my self have not had anytime at all but then again I could make time. Anyways....

I now have started school and I got lucky and got a comp. class that we don't do anything in so I can get on here an hour a day. I’m sorry to everyone for not being on near like I wish I should. This is like the 3rd post like this I have had to submit. Anyways just letting u all know I should be here to stay now.

Thanks
Dark One

Alright... I'm back. Thanks for the E-mail Ano. Now... in order to keep my self from scrolling through all the previous pages, can I get an overview of the said WAR to take place? I would very much like to throw my sword into the mix. Hopefully I can stay motivated long enough to battle through and through.

Well long story short, the BOD have challenged us to war. We accepted fairly immediatly, but I was gone for a month so not a whole lot got done. Once I was back to officially accept the challenge, there was a period of negotiation on the terms of the war in which it was decided the war would last for about a month or two, be held between five members from each clan (with five members in reserve in case of emergency), would essentially ignore most of the usual rules of the RPB section, and would result i nthe destruction of whichever clan loses, including the deaths of those characters who lose in battle.

This is all to be judged by LocoColt. After that there was about a month where we tried to get the rest of everything set up, battle grounds and what not, and thus actual fighting has only begun recently. It's a little slow right now, but I'm hoping we can take this the whole way.

Unfortunately, you weren't around when we were picking reserves. I don't know if you can participate in this war or not. Even as a reserve, there's a chance you'd never be needed. So I'm afraid you missed the boat on this one :p I'm sure there will be other wars here for you to champion. Provided we are victorious in this one of course.

And another thing to keep in mind, since you weren't around for all the talks -- though the losing clan's TFF branch is to be demolished, its members are still more than welcome to float around the forums. No users are actually being forced to leave, just to shut down their club thread. The RP and RPB forums are always open to everyone, and I'd hope that you wouldn't be compelled to leave should the clan lose. I know everyone always complains about the caliber of the writing sometimes, but it's tough to hold a forum full of good threads when everyone who writes well keeps leaving. ;!

In any case, pull up a chair and watch the war. That's what I'm doing. I'm letting it run its course relatively ungoverned until it's time to close it down. The forum is read-only for anyone who is not a participant, just so you know Shelus. It's a subforum of the existing RPB forum, so you know where to find it.

Indeed. Watch I shall. As for where I'll be... just lurking. If you do end up needing me though, just mention me and I'll catch it. :roll: Sadly, I have not much else to type so sorry if this post is somewhat short. Anywhom, good luck on the War for all participants and may your posts be golden and true.

Shelus, it's been along time now. Also, you still owe me a fight from the one we never finished. I have gotten a lot better in the time I have been off here. So if you would like! It would be great if I could get another chance.

Very well Dark. Toss up the thread anytime you feel you are willing to face me with your all. Do not hold back friend... if you do, there will be nothing else to hold on to. You will of course be facing Shelus. As for the setting and time frame, since you are creating the thread... these things I leave up to you.

Okay shelus give me this weekend to get my guy all ready and get the first post done and all. So by monday I should be ready. I wish you luck also we need someone to loco to tell the winer. I wish you luck!!! I may have it up tom. all matter on how much time i have on my hands!

Also i would like to us the guy i was using in our last fight. IDK if his to out dated? Also Shelus i have got better but my spelling has not lol so im sorry for that and im going to try and reread everything i type!

Others say he is strong and fast but all can be killed. The true story of Master link is that he was born in Hyrule but moves at the age of 2. When men burned his home and killed his father.

It's good to see you guys keeping the club active while the wars going on. I must confess I've not had too much time to devote to the online world lately...but then that was the case even before the war.

Funny, all this activity has really stired up the mud at the bottom of the pond. There are things writhing around now that I haven't thought about in what feels like years. Hell it probably has been years. I've been making enemies and allies for awhile. *grins* probably more of the one than the other....there's certainly no end to annoying bastards that need to be put in their place.

Eh well...I'm thoroughly enjoying myself right now in the war and you lot should be too. I can't wait to see how your fight turns out.

It's almost Halloween...so do you guys have any plans for costumes yet?

Perhaps I shall dress myself as a Blue Screen of Death and spend the night hiding out in the Computer Labs at uni.

Or perhaps not. Sadly, halloween is not much celebrated here in New Zealand, and it even manages to fall on the eve of one of my end of year exams. I don't think I'll be doing much but studying. :-/

I should totally dress up as Anomaly for Halloween!

Or maybe not. :P

Nah, I'm gonna just buy some candy and sit at home watching some horror flicks since there isn't much to do. Most of the halloween shit goes down at malls with humiliated employees wearing pitiful costumes. Other then that the holiday has come to bore me.

That would be one kick ass costume :p

I dunno. I usually visit family at Halloween and end up taking my brother and sister around. Typically end up wearing a mask for the hell of it, but its rare for me to bother with a full costume. If I end up going to any parties this year though, I've got an idea for a pretty interecting costume based off of Odin, from Odin Sphere. It might be a bit difficult to pull off though, so I may not bother. Besides, who wants to mess with a false beard all night?

Still, October is my favorite month, and Halloween one of the only 'not really a holiday holidays' I care for (aside from Saint Patricks). This will probably be a good month for me.

If I can keep from getting arrested >)

Oh, I suppose some good news then that my birthday is on the 22nd of October. You better get me a hooker, preferably Asian.

Only if you get me one the day before, for my birthday. :p

Though as Decay and a few old fellows around here may know, I prefer the redheads.

Naughty boys XD:roll:

Well since we are celebrating Sukkot, we don't run around in scary outfits in attempt to scary old ladies and small kids(be beware from the old ladies!). Our tradition demands us to build a temporary hut (four walls and a wooden cell), to decorate and to sit in it for seven days and to celebrate events of our past.

A bit of info about Sukkot:
"Sukkot known as the Feast of Booths, the Feast of Tabernacles, Tabernacles, the Season of Our Happiness, the Feast of Ingathering, or simply The Feast, is a Biblical pilgrimage festival that occurs in autumn on the 15th day of the month of Tishri (late September to late October). In Judaism it is one of the three major holidays known collectively as the Shalosh Regalim (three pilgrim festivals), when historically the Jewish populace traveled to the Temple in Jerusalem.

The word Sukkot is the plural of the Hebrew word sukkah, meaning booth or hut. During this holiday, Jews are instructed to construct a temporary structure in which to eat their meals, entertain guests, relax, and even sleep. The sukkah is reminiscent of the type of huts in which the ancient Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of wandering in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt, and is intended to reflect God's benevolence in providing for all the Jews' needs in the desert.

In modern day Israel (and among Reform Jews), Sukkot is a 7-day holiday, with the first day celebrated as a full festival with special prayer services and holiday meals. Outside the land of Israel, the first two days are celebrated as full festivals. The remaining days are known as Chol HaMoed ("festival weekdays"). The seventh day of Sukkot is called Hoshanah Rabbah and has a special observance of its own."(Wikipedia)

Well mine just happened, and I got neither asians NOR red heads. =/


I shall be running aroudn with my pricey V costume. Work screwed up last year's Halloween for me, but not this year! I just have to decide where to haunt. Halloween doesn't seem to be so big any more. Too many people worried about someone poisoning/raping their kid, or the new damn Christian stuff with making Halloween some sort of damn family night that they don't trick or treat or anything on.

There is place for two, no more. =]

Huh, never heard of Sukkot before. But considering where you are, I'm not suprised that there's a different celebration all together. Do you make anything special for the meals? any traditional dishes?

(nobody mention Masters pie)

Of course there is some celebrating and festivals but nothing really special.
The only thing I can think about is the ceremonial use of the four species :citron, lulav (date palm frond), hadass (bough of a myrtle tree), aravah (willow branch). The Torah requires to take all the species I had mentioned and to grasp and shake them in a specific manner. You have to do it at each day of Sukkot. We are talking about seven days in total. That ceremony can be done in a private sukka(the temporary hut) or someone's home, but usually it's performed in the synagogue during the daily prayer services.

"The Four Species are waved as follows: The first three species are held in the right hand, while the etrog is held in the left hand. The user holds his or her hands apart while saying the special blessing, "Blessed are You, God our Lord, King of the Universe, Who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to take the lulav". Then the user brings his or her hands together so that the etrog touches the lulav bundle, and points and gently shakes the Four Species three times in each of the four directions, as well as up and down. Symbolically, this ceremony is a prayer for adequate rainfall for all the vegetation of the earth in the coming year."(wikipedia)

Jury duty sucked ass.

I wasn't aware of the stupidity that takes place inside the courtroom. Especially the last part - 5 POSSIBLE dismissals left, and the judge says to take an hour and a half lunch. We come back to? NO DISMISSALS. Oh, the rest of you are now free to go. GREAT ****ING WASTE OF TWO OF MY HOURS, PLUS THE 5 BEFORE THAT!

D: Next time, I go in early, on a friday like last time, and get out of the damn thing early!

Not a patch on bobbing for apples and scaring the hell out of people then, but at least it's something eh? sounds like ya'll really get into it over there.

Jury duty always sucks. When you want to be held over so you get a few days off of work, it ends up just being a waste of time and you get a lousy six bucks for your trouble. When it would seriously cut into your life, it almost always DOES.

My main problems right now are car trouble. I'm probably going to have to take it into the garage tomorrow. Pretty sure the fan belt is about to go. SUCH a pain in the ass.

So anyway, despite not everyone here celebrates Halloween, who's gonna get dressed up and go out?

(off topic for a moment, turned out it was the alternater. Got it fixed, but now there's the problem of making up for the money spent on that.)

So I'll probably not be going out dressed up at Halloween. Not that this is a big loss. I might be going to a concert this weekend where you get a discount if you show up in costume. Some little local thing, I'm going to do some more research before I go sense the invites coming from someone I'm not all that close to. But meh.

Also...pissed off at the WB for pushing back Trick R Treat. I know I'm late in the game to be bitching about that since some people have knwon since June, but I was going off the advertisment on the 300 DVD.

Well, anyway, not like anyone has noticed /sarcasm, but it's my bday today and I am finally out of my teens. At the same time I also feel much older than I'm suppose to be, lol. Especially when I find myself complaining about the "teenagers/teenyboppers" and how I beat them into understanding. I really need to get out though, which I will later. Too bad there isn't anything worthy of watching at the movies.

What would you suggest I do? There's hardly anything TO do once you scratch out the movie theater in my town anyway.

You could always just go for a walk. I've been doing that a lot lately. Mostly to clear my head during breaks in my study. But if it's entertainment you want; I have no ideas.

Ironic, that I speak of "breaks" in my study. The way it has been over the last few days, it feels more like I'm studying less than I am taking breaks. I keep getting distracted by things that I would give no thought to during non-exam periods. You'd think I'd have figured studying out by now, but alas. It escapes me still. =/

Ah well. One exam down, four still to go. At least I don't need to worry about where I'm going to live afterwards anymore. Yay for finding a flat.

And it was my Birthday this past week as well. Woo! :p

I actually forgot how old I was. Thats a very bad sign. Thank goodness for family that are more than willing to remind you just how young/old they think you are (depending on who's reminding you). Still, pretty good haul this year compared to last year, and a nice meal. I find more and more that I prefer a good meal to actual presents, and than a little time to rest and catch up on my gaming/reading.

Though a walks nice, I find I don't have any very interesting places to walk to anymore...eh well.

And hooray for finding a flat Prophet! Though I find renting anything to be highway robbery, and thus shitty compared to owning your own place.

...

Completely unrelated note, whats with all the christmas shit in the stores since the end of September?
