I heard about it from GI first. It looks like one of the most kickassinest games ever. Too bad it's guaranteed to be M. :cry: I won't get to traumatize any little snots who beg their mommy and daddy for games. :twisted:

I honestly laughed my [donkey] off for the better part of 5 minutes straight thanks to the above posts. :XD: :XD: :twisted: Always glad to spread the madness around!

Alright, Errdoth, you asked for it. Don't whine at me about it being profane, it's truly an adequate description of her. Don't whine at me if the mods remove it before you get to see it, some people just aren't open-minded to semi-rude humor. :twisted:

How about ,since when someone shifts into a form they do it mainly for combat, they get reduced exp or none at all for their actions (relating to the form anyway) in that form? That should probably make the first barrier nonexistent. And no, they don't have to be area attacks, just plausible extra abilities that go along with the stat boosts. What real good is morphing into a green dragon hybrid if you can't use their only real dangerous attack (to an extent, we don't want this to make wildy turn into a bloodbath! Do we? :uhh: :ohnoes: :-w )?

There's not really a whole lot of TRULY annoying people in my school. Only 3 come to mind. 1: Ms. Wilt AKA Queen Mooseknuckle (pm me if you wanna know what this is) Description: Female, at least 300 lbs, ~6 ft. tall, blonde-whitish curly hair, butt-ugly Reason why the student population hates her: She is the single worse disciplinary officer ever. If you drive into the school parking lot from the wrong direction, for example, she'll walk right up to your parent and chew them out, then take it out on you. The only reason that there isn't too many d-hall attendees for the school to handle is the principal (nice dude, really) keeping her in check. He was a student of the same school not 12 years ago, so he probably knows how we feel. 2: Bobby Brown AKA The Village Idiot Description: Male, not 150 lbs, ~5 ft. tall, dark brown straight hair, average Reason why the student population INCLUDING the teachers hates him: He's one of the single most annoying people in the entire state. He has a tendency to try and be funny by messing with people (ie: making stupid noises, being excruciatingly loud (think jet engine right next to your head), throwing stuff, etc.), and just pisses everyone off. Last year, his antics even provoked one of the more "anti-social" people in the school to beat the snot out of him. I don't condone it, but I honestly can't say that he didn't ask for it. It kept him off everyone's case for all of 2 weeks. I don't know whether to be amazed at his tenacity or his stupidity. :-k The fact that he didn't get himself stabbed yet is a miracle in and of itself. 3: (don't remember name) AKA: The Redneck (note that I live in WV, and most ppl don't fit the stereotype. He does.) Description: Male, roughly 180 lbs, ~ 7 ft. tall, brown, semi-curly hair, redneck/headcase look Reason the student population hates him: He literally tries to look like an idiot. Every time he passes by a likely candidate (aka anyone who knows him, mostly), he makes this "DERRR" noise, like we're the ones who are morons. He also has the nasty habit of trying to provoke almost everyone who wouldn't want to fight with anyone into one. The only real reason he hasn't gotten his head stomped in is his size and reach. That's about it.

Overpowered you say? Let's examine the stats, shall we? Godsword: Class 5 speed (slowest), roughly the same power as the Dharok's set when 50 hp is lost (guess), 4 decent specs (can't be used at once), 2 handed. Abyssal Whip: Class 1 Speed (fastest), Roughly 1 or 2 notches weaker than a d hally, increased accuracy spec (lowers run energy), one handed. While the godsword would give the abby whip a tossup fight in a 1 handed match, one thing throws it out of balance. Godsword's 2 handed, whip's not. If the whip has a rune defender, or even worse, a fully charged dragonfire shield, the godsword-user is toast (no pun intended). If it's supposed to be a weapon fought over by the gods for millenia, then why the hell doesn't it have the proper stats?!?! At the very least, it should equal the whip/defender combo, and maybe give the dragonfire shield some problems. You say boosting the Godsword would be unfair? Use the whip/dfire shield combo and tell me otherwise. -.- :roll:

Raz, just how many fights have you been in? Trust me, when you're fighting someone whose bigger than you and you can't get away, you can't screw around. You almost HAVE to break something in order to get them to leave you be. If you're not experienced in fighting, take a martial arts class or get a friend who is and train with him/her. I wanna see if you can come up with anything better. I may not be Mike Tyson, but I've seen a few fights.

One of the best things you can do is to do just enough damage to discourage someone from fighting, and if they persist, break the limb they try to hit you with. :-w One good shot to the elbow/knee or with a weapon (pencil in the shoulder, metal bar-thing to the family jewels, use your imagination :mrgreen: ) should get them and almost every bully in the county to back the hell off. If you find yourself defending against 5+, go immediately for the quickest, high-damage shots. If you can get 2+ in one swing, go for it. :-w If they're carrying knives, take one/two and go berserk (no throat or nut shots, or anything fatal. You're defending yourself, not imitating Michael Myers. :XD: ). If you know you're outclassed, try and either 1) throw something at them and run for your life or 2) force them into a situation where it's gotta be 1x1. If one of 'em has a gun, though, you're fu**ed if you can't get it from him.

I just thought of something. When the spell is cast, a "timer" replaces the spec bar. It drains at a specified rate depending on your form and your lv in Lycanthropy, and when it runs down to 0, you're kicked back to normal. Using special abilities lowers this. Should help balance it out a bit. \

In all honesty, when I first saw the title, I thought "Oh, bloody hell, now they're ripping off Yu-Gi-Oh?" But now, this actually looks kinda good. A better name might be "Lycanthropy", since "Fusion" just seems like a spell name rather than a skill. Another idea would be to give some forms specials (spec bar changes color) which make sense (dragons get a wide-burst fire breath attack (3x2 in the direction the player's facing), cats get a rapid strike attack (multiple claw swipes), etc.). Sound good?

If you ever have to fight someone in school, keep 3 things in mind. 1) If a person can identify who started it or if it's in sight of a camera, you likely won't get in as much trouble. 2) Any type of combat training does help. Especially when your opponent's got none of his own. 3) Anything can be a weapon if used correctly. If you keep yourself trained and prepared, you're more likely to walk away from a fight not only less damaged, but you might also "discourage" any other bullies from messing with you. Kinda the same way that Japan was discouraged from continuing the second World War after Hiroshima. :-w :anxious:

When I was in 3rd-8th grade, it was harsh. Nowadays, most just leave me alone. Reasons? I'm not 100% sure, really. Most of the time when people try to mess with me (verbally), I just give them something back. One time, though, someone decided it would be funny to f**k with my sister by putting cut-up stickers in her hair. The dude was built like a brick wall, but at the time, I didn't give a sh**. My homeroom teacher got in between me and the dude, knowing there would have been a fight otherwise. When I get like that, I don't know what I'm capable of. Another possible reason is my connections. I'm friends with some of the toughest/wildest dudes in the school. How I got that, I'm not sure. Probably because I'm one of the few dudes in the school that doesn't act like a complete idiot. \

I'd honestly say I do not know what my paradise would be. To tell the truth, if I can help people, I don't care where it is. The big problem for me is that I really don't have the means or physical strength to help anyone really. If I can gain access to a place where I can train and compete (friendly competition) with other people and use helping people on the physical world as a "day job", I'd be completely fine with that.

What happened to the idea about posting rebuttles to common arguments against f2p bank space in original post? Look at p 100 for mine. I still think that's a good idea. We could either have 'em in hide tags or have links to them.

How about a flash of it being lighter than normal (2 levels brighter to go by the viewing options in-game) for a second and taking a 15-30 sec. hit to accuracy where you may as well be fighting blind (lowered by 80% sounds good)? Epileptic-friendly and more practical. \

With me, it's special because I didn't get myself killed yet. 8-) :anxious: I've been in more than a few near misses in my life. Anyway, my oldest sister's b-day is tomorrow, and mine's on the 29th. We're 3 years apart. My next-oldest sister is right in the middle. :shock:

Lag, just keep the first rule of paintballin/AIRSOFT in mind. INVEST IN A NUT-CUP. Reason: 1) People are [wagon]. 2) They're not massively accurate. 3) If you don't, kiss your manhood goodbye. Not that way, you perv's! :-w :lol: :roll: :XD:

Lag, 2 things. 1; If the paintballs were moving at the same speed as a bullet, you wouldn't be able to track the thing in mid-flight. 2; If they WERE as fast as bullets, well over half of the male population = dead. O:) :ohnoes: What I wanna see is a paintball shotgun that either fires multiple rounds at once or fires special "spreader" rounds/grenades. Maybe they can make a sorta rocket launcher that fires a decent-sized round (shaped like a rocket :P ), which spins and spreads paint mid-flight and explodes on contact, pretty much covering someone hit directly in paint. :twisted: :boohoo:

Yeah, that's definitely cool. Only one problem though. Is there gonna be anything in the guild that actually helps people in some way? Like training, ports, that sort of thing? Maybe even something very few have thought of. *cough*npc teams that actually think like players in a deathmatch-type game*cough* :-w :-$

I've played paintball before with like 30 other people. Worst bruise? I got shot in the beanbag from 25~ ft. off. Yeah, it sucked. Another good one is where i got shot on the side of my head, didn't know it. When we got done, it looked like someone sliced my right side of my skull open with a razor. :thumbsup: It was a rental game though. I'm putting serious thought into getting a good gun on my b-day. I need to train accuracy! :-w extremely accurate with a real gun, not so much with paintball gun \

Actually, Dragon Slayer's beatable at ~36 combat with armor being mix-matched from steel to addy. How I know? I DONE IT. F2p just needs some harder quests. F2p needs a LOT of things, really, it's just patience. My voice was already spoken on ~p. 104 of the "More f2p bank space!" thread. \

That line of thinking is basically the same as the "Mama's Boy" way of life, with one difference. If they aren't left to fend for themselves early, then they never will be able to. Some animals would like to stay with their adoptive family, but some are guaranteed to want to escape. In the extreme cases, when they did, it caused some serious damage. That's some of the cons of captivity. :wink: I'm not saying throw the house cats and dogs out, just letting the real wildlife be free.

Having the ones such as elephants and lions and such in wildlife preserves would be a good idea. Hell of a lot better than in a circus! The ones that are pretty much housebroken though would likely do better under the direct care of someone though. Once you get past a certain point, the animal just can't survive without direct human aid. Sucks at times, yes, but that's the way of it. :-w Oh, and for the record, poachers need to be skinned, salted, and roasted as a treat for the animals they'd torture for money or fun. I've seen some of the sh** they've done, and TRUST ME, some of them deserve much worse. :evil:

I just thought of a way that it wouldn't become a paradoxical time-warp scenario. You know how the light from the sun is actually what it gave off ~8 mins ago? That doesn't mean it went back in time, it just shows that it takes time for the light to reach the earth. Apply that concept to that problem, and viola! No more time-travel paradox! You're most likely going " #-o D'oh! It seems so stupid now!" right now, aren't you? And yes, I do believe it's possible to break light speed. People have said that we'll never fly, the Earth was flat, our innards are almost identical to monkeys, etc. It's just one more theory that proved to be just that; a theory.

Chances are, the real game arena(s) would be in a separate area, only accessible by a portal. The portal house would probably be set up in a similar way to CW. Also, if a game is in progress in an arena, it would be an interesting thing if people could watch the game first hand by entering a portal that puts you in the game arena as a ghost (players can't see you and you are semi-transparent to other ghosts and yourself). Sound good?
