Physical: That I didn't always look so sleepy. No matter how much sleep I get, no matter how awake I am, I always seem to have bags under my eyes.

4/10. I don't get it :| . Edo-kun disser :notalk: .

I've never been one to believe in ghosts, but the floating, glowing point-sized ball of light has been a common phenomenom in regards to ghost hunting :-k .

Actually, internet friends meet each other quite frequently, and not just at conventions. Maybe in other areas of the internet, but through Runescape? Not exactly something that happens that much.

I gotta admit, as far as sequels and the ends to trilogies go, that was a pretty good movie. Though, the whole "let's get married in the middle of a fight" thing kind of through me off though. Honestly, what the hell?

6/10 trunks :P . I'm confused. Who's dtrish and why is he getting high ratings with 22 posts o_O? Just because you hang around one forum doesn't mean you're well known througout tip o_O.

6.5/10. Cool, kind of funny, and the fact that it's a gif gets it some extra points. Little on the weird side though :P .

I've never understood the whole "friends" argument. These aren't really friends, more like internet acquintences. I mean, most of you will never meet a single one of these "friends" in your life :| . Goals I can understand though; the sense of accomplishment is a logical reason for playing :-k .

Is my dog Maya acting stupid, and really an evil mastermind? I've always wondered what hid behind that smile and wagging tail :-k .

First, before you respond, I'd just like to know what you are arguing so we can have a proper debate. I'm pretty sure we've established that flag holding in fact is not cheating, so what position are you arguing? That it takes the fun out of the game? What? Just wondering. Yes, and with mistakes come consequences. A part of the team made the mistake. The team is a unit. They must live with the mistake and recover from it, instead of piggybacking off a "No flagholding rule" handicap. Yes there are many great single player strategies (or there wouldn't be a difference between an expert flagrunner and a moron), but flagholding is probably the only major team strategy in Castle Wars, apart from "everyone in the castle and kill everything that moves". It is both. Combat makes up for lack of strategy, strategy makes up for lack of combat. But once you get to a certain low point in either element, the other element (whether it be combat or strategy) cannot balance it out to make the player useful. Generally though, high levels are well seasoned, older, capable, and more intelligient than lower levels, so their high combat level merely serves to further enhance their ability to use their strategic tactics. There's a very small minority of high levels who are too stupid not to understand Castle Wars enough to make themselves hold little value for their team. Grab flag. Kill other color people. Click. Kill people more. Runescape is just a fairly mindless game overall, oh well. Point? A part of your unit messed up. Because of that, your team had to deal with the problem of a flag holder, which isn't too hard to overcome with a little strategy and some tough players, or just a sword and a mouse if the other team/flag holder isn't smart. Honestly, what are you arguing? That it's unfair that even though you killed 100 people that game, your team lost? What? It's not cheating, so what do you think the problem is?

It doesn't take strategy out of the game. In fact, it gives the game the only doses of strategy it ever seems to get. Want to know what games would be like without the repurcussions of losing the flag? Every moron, their brother, and their mom would be mindlessly rushing at the flag and rushing out of the castle without even thinking about how to get back or worrying about dying. Then everyone else would spend the whole game either standing at their castle defending, chasing after some flagrunner, or standing next to the other teams flagpole waiting for the flag to appear after the last moron died and the flag was instantly transported there. That's not strategy. That's mindless clicking. Wow, it's a combat based game, and the team with the higher levels wins! It's the apocolypse!!!!! :o :uhh: Seriously, what makes you think the higher level team wouldn't always win if there was no flagholding? They'd have the stronger defenses. They'd have the stronger attackers. It's a combat-based game, so stop whining and go cry in a corner. Ah yes, systematically organizing a team to take down a flagrunner has nothing to do with skill or organization whatsoever. It's not a one-man job. Never has been, never will be. Though there are things you can do, there's no point in arguing against the fact that this is a combat-based mini-game, and thus the higher-level players are the more valuable, more useful players.

Yep.

yea i really don't believe that..yea...can he fight any other ADULT black belts in his dojo and win? im pretty sure even me being a orange i could still beat him, just cause your a black belt doesn't meen you are unstoppable to a lower belt then yourself.. It's true. And he's not all that much of an all-star; he's average for the class, if not slightly slower. The first degree black belt in his form doesn't mean a ton compared to higher degrees. Like I said, his teacher is only a few degrees above him, but my bro doesn't stand a glimpse of a chance against him obviously. Heck, he doesn't stand a chance against me yet, and like you said, if you're older than him you'd probably beat him too. You meant "his" instead of "you're" at the bolded word, right? Again, I don't have any training, just clearing that up if it's a confusion. Feel free to correct me and give me as much info as you want; I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to martial arts forms.

Dedication which i seriously doubt he had...but whatever? Judo is way different then Shotokan so it doesn't bother me at all if he is a black belt whatever. I'm not. My brother takes Maududo, a form of Judo, and he got to black belt in about two years, maybe less. As I said in my first post, I'm not a fighter; I've had no formal training whatsoever. I was just basing my estimate off how fast my brother got his black belt. and how old is your brother? 12 :lol: :-w (check my edit by the way)

I was just basing my estimate off how fast my brother got his black belt. Most of the training in his form actually happens during black belt, getting up in the degrees. My bro's teacher is a fourth of fifth degree blackbelt after a few decades, even though getting the blackbelt itself took relatively much less time. Ya, so all forms are different, it just sounded odd that an orange belt would take three years :| .

Whichever one doesn't kill you. Or the sword :-k .

:lol: I'm crying :lol: . And is it just me, or does a higher percentage of people on the internet than in the real world say that they have taken martial arts? Quite a conundrum :-k . [what the heck]? you fudge [developmentally delayed]...you calling me a Friggen lier? i was an orange belt with one stripe dont be so ignorant next time. P.S. you watch that dumb full mental alchemist I'm not calling you a liar, don't take it personally. I just seem to see a lot of people on the internet who say that they took karate, with no way of really confirming it. Chill out (especially since there'd be no reason to lie and say you're an orange belt, rather than a brown or black). Still, how did it take you three years to get an orange belt? Blacks take less than two... I'm confused :-s . Did you do it on and off? Orange belts are pretty far down there... Or were you saying that people should take three years, and that's your goal? And I'd love to explain to you in a couple thousand points why Fullmetal Alchemist owns all over Naruto, but I we can save that for the PM box or another thread :-w .

Puppies>Kittens. They're pretty even (though, I've seen some puppies as small as the kittens in these pics, and they definitely owned the kittens), so I'm casting my vote based more on the fact that one actually stays cute, fun and nice into adulthood, and the other turns evil :uhh: .

Yes, but being in dangerous situations isn't the only way to prepare for them, though actual experience in those situations is probably invaluable. Me, I'm no fighter, so some of this stuff is decent info. The animal metaphors were a little annoying after a while (like you were copying this verbatim out of some Chinese martial artist guidebook or something), and a lot of it seems like common sense, but stuff like the meditations I'd consider great to know before one's first encounter with those situations.

Being totally random here (on the topic of seasons and hemispheres), but I've always wondered- how does the whole "Santa coming in the snow with a sleigh of nine reindeer" thing work for you guys down under :P ?

Hugs. Works like a charm on my siblings :-w . Fear the bubble :ohnoes: .

Har har har har. I can't tell if he intended to say that or not :lol: I just don't find him attractive, period. I don't really understand why people think he's even near the top of the list for most attractive guys :| .

Sexism is much more one-way than racism :| . It's slightly annoying if they're in the right lane, but if they're in that lane I don't see too much wrong with it (other then them massively slowing down traffic -.- ). But god forbid, if you're going under the speed limit in the left lane, you better not be pacing with someone next to you or I'm running your car into the ground -.- . Don't do 45 in a 65, even in the right lane (which is the only place you should even consider it, though I've been behind plenty of people going in the 40s in the left lane). Not only because it's annoying as hell, but because it's actually more dangerous than someone going 75, especially on merges.

Definately. I hate it when people that you barely ever speak to or havnt spoken to in a long time come up to you when you are in line and try to engage in conversation with you so they can get a spot in line. It is soooo awkward when someone does that because then you are like "Well...umm.... Whats your name again?" Guna have to add another agreement. Last weekend when I was at my ACT testing center, I had to wait in a frikkin' long line because the people at that high school were not exactly Einsteins when it came to organization. Anyywwwaayyss.. I had this annoying girl in front of me, and there was another girl in front of her (who I assume she didn't know). Within 15 minutes both of them had pulled four girls each to save them a trip to the back of the line. Eight people out of no where just cutting in front of me -.- . THAT'S annoying. Oh, and jackalope, I don't know if you or anyone else is like me, but I'm TERRIBLE at remembering names. Horrendous at it. Half the people I talk to at school have names unknown to me :lol: .
