[COLOR=#DAA520][quote name='Premonition']Oh speaking of extras, as anyone obtained all of the character's collectible cards for versus play?[/quote]I don't have all of them, but I have enough battle trophies that I have access to the first three, so other than Fayt I have all my characters set to a different outfit for the regular battles. I rather like the one for Albel where he has white hair. :catgirl: And Cliff looks good with red hair too. Anyway, I can see why you recommending going to the [spoiler]sealed levels of the Sphere company [/spoiler] Crystia. Man are those monsters a pain. >_< But it's ridiculously easy to get a bonus battle going and earn triple experience so long as I avoid a couple of the monsters, since some of them are pretty damn quick. I've only cleared five levels and my main characters have gone up over ten levels each. The amount of experience you get is really good, even without the bonus. The only draw back...they hardly drop any money so I'll probably either head to the caves or back to the maze to pick up more money to do more customizing. Now that I'm working with the better weapons it's pretty expensive to spruce things up. And right now I've only got four of the eight slots filled for my main party. On a funny note, now that the monsters are harder, Albel and Cliff and a couple of the others have been using some sayings in battle that I've never run into before. I still like Albel's standard response when he gets clobbered though. The way he so get so mad and calls them [spoiler]Worms![/spoiler] Still cracks me up. lol [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520]Welcome to OtakuBoards [B]Ayame Sensei[/B], I'm going to be closing this for a couple of reasons. First even though Invader Zim is not a 'Japanese' anime/animation. You would still want to discuss this in the Anime Lounge. Also, when starting a thread it's usually a good idea to put more into the opening post to get the discussion going. For example you could have taken the time to explain why you think people might consider Invader Zim an anime instead of an animation or cartoon as it is called in America or where ever you may be from. Please take a moment to review the rules and FAQ as well as the various stickies available in each section of the boards. If you have any questions feel free to pm myself or another member of the staff. ~SunfallE [B]Thread Closed[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520][quote name='BKstyles][FONT=Tahoma]Decided to throw my name into the "twisted and disturbing" post hat since what other RP would such things be allowed in, lol. Besides, [spoiler]Indifference started it[/spoiler'] :p.[/FONT][/quote]Well you certainly did a though job of finishing it! o_O I swear, first the Maze has the sick and twisted posts and now the Panopticon, I almost shudder to think of what would happen in another one...Wait a sec! I should be more concerned about what can still happen in this one! lol Anyway, I assume we have to wait on 2007DigitalBoy to post and start the next round, so...*pokes DB* Start typing! :p[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520]Celestia was trying to approach things like Jason was, simply doing as they were told without question. But she couldn?t shake the anger and resentment that she felt. As well as the fear that in spite of learning that for now they would be kept together, they would end up separated. It didn?t help that even though they were being required to work in the labs, Dakar was still running them through interrogations in the morning before they were then moved to the lab for the rest of the day. She didn?t like the cold, stuck up director they were required to work with either. Patricia Jethra was of the opinion that those of the lesser races weren?t much better than scum, and she made it quite clear that she considered both Celestia and Jason to be even worse. Lacing her comments with scorn and derision, quickly pointing out flaws at every opportunity. And today had been no exception. The first assignment they had been given was to duplicate what they had done for the resistance with the transport doors. To change the programming so they could move by opening above someone and moving down. Something that would be supremely useful for shipping as cargo could be transported far quicker. It was one of the easiest modifications they had made and in no time they had re-written up the program. But testing it was another matter. To her surprise it didn?t work, something that Jethra was quick to jump on, going on in her obnoxious voice about how she couldn?t understand why the Council would bother with someone as stupid as her and Jason. Celestia tried to hold it in as she sat there with Jason at the computer terminal. Looking through the data to see what they had missed, ignoring the desire to slap the woman silly since the security standing by the door and keeping watch would stun her before she had taken a step. Or worse they would activate the disruptor restraints. But several hours later, after several more attempts to get it to work Jethra's constant rude comments just made things worse. The longer Celestia was in that tiny lab with that arrogant woman, the angrier she got. And a moment later when checking the data from Jethra's end and realizing what had happened, she snapped. There was no mistaking the change in her calculations. Everything they did was looked over by Jethra first before it was tested. [I]That bitch changed our calculations![/I] Celestia couldn?t believe it. She knew their technology was different since the Versilans did things based on the crystals, but to change it like that? No wonder it hadn?t worked! Angrily Celestia stood up after slamming her fists on the console in front of her, she turned to face Jethra. [I]Damn her! We're the one's who will be punished if this doesn't work![/I] Celestia ignored Jason's pleas to calm down. ?[B]The reason it doesn't work, you [I]stupid stuck up bitch[/I] is because [I]you[/I] altered the calculations![/B]? Celestia yelled, ignoring the stunned look on Jethra?s face as well as the wary ones on the security. ?[B]Now listen here, you backwards, ignorant little?[/B]? Jethra started to reply but Celestia cut her off. ?[B]Shut up![/B]? She screamed at her. ?[B]Just shut the hell up! I am sick and tired of hearing the same stupid little speech from you about how stupid you think we are.[/B]? She took a step towards the director, not noticing that the security was taking aim, preparing to stun her. But Jason stood up and grabbed her, forcing her away from Jethra. ?[B]Celestia,?[/B] he said urgently. ?[B]Let it go.[/B]? ?[B]No![/B]? Celestia cried. ?[B]I refuse to let it go. How are we supposed to get anything done if that stupid idiot keeps interfering with what Dakar expects us to do? I do not want to be tortured for her stupidity![/B]? ?[B]I?ve about had enough of you two,[/B]? Jethra said coldly, she turned to face the security that Dakar had assigned to the lab to watch Celestia and Jason. ?[B]Contact Dakar immediately, I can?t possibly work with these two fools.[/B]? ?[B]I?ve already contacted him, he?ll be here shortly.[/B]? One of them replied. Jason took advantage of that moment to pull Celestia, who was still fuming back over to her chair and to get her to sit down, pulling up his own seat next to her. Attempting to calm her down while ignoring Jethra who was still standing with her arms crossed and tapping her foot angrily. It seemed like forever, but fifteen minutes later Dakar finally arrived. Jason couldn?t help but cringe, wondering just what would happen. Dakar had told both of them that disrespect on their part would not be overlooked. Jason didn?t want to find out what type of punishment they would receive for Celestia?s outburst.[I] If only they?d do the same to Jethra.[/I] He thought. [I]She?s been far ruder than we ever have. [/I] From where he was sitting with Celestia, Jason could tell that Dakar was not amused. But he did surprise him. Telling Jethra to be quiet when she started to immediately launch into a tirade about him and Celestia. Jason watched as Dakar accessed the surveillance and watched their argument, making Jason wince when he heard the part with Celestia calling Jethra a bitch. When it was finished and Dakar looked up from his hand held computer, first looking to Jethra and then to Celestia and Jason, he couldn?t help but pull back a bit in fear. But other than to meet their gaze briefly, Dakar turned back to Jethra. ?[B]Is it true that you altered the calculations?[/B]? He asked her. ?[B]Of course,[/B]? Jethra said indignantly. ?[B]I was ordered to review everything before it was tested. Those calculations,[/B]? she shot Celestia a hate filled glance, ?[B]were sloppy and full of errors. I corrected them before the program was run.[/B]? Celestia started to say something to protest but stopped when Dakar turned to her. ?[B]Is it true that you made mistakes?[/B]? He asked her. Celestia took a deep breath before responding as calmly as she could. ?[B]No, my calculations are not faulty. Different perhaps but not faulty, if Jethra would quit tampering with them she would see that they do work.[/B]? Dakar looked between the two of them for a moment and then spoke, ?[B]Very well, run the program with out the corrections Director Jethra.[/B]? Jethra opened her mouth to protest and then changed her mind. A moment later after she initiated the transport, the enclosed transport system activated, appearing over the crate of supplies they had in the room just for the test. A split second later the door moved downwards and closed, even as the crate reappeared in the other corner of the room as the door opened along the floor, and moved upwards placing the crate on the floor before vanishing. Jethra just stood there, next to the equipment strangely quiet. ?[B]I think it?s time for Celestia and Jason to call it a day,[/B]? Dakar said to the security. ?[B]Take them back to their quarters.[/B]? Then as Celestia and Jason were leaving, Celestia overheard Dakar as the doors started to close. ?[B]You and I need to have a little talk about your attitude Director.[/B]? [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520]Alright, before we spiral down yet another path of misunderstandings I'm going to address this:[QUOTE=2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkRed]Okay, maybe I [i]have[/i] been drinking too much MD at 2 am, but listen up. Firstly >_< those were spoilers for a reason. Secondly, there are a lot of half-baked plans that went into this thread and I've been freaking out trying to rectify them without having to pull the whole game to a hault. For instance, it didn't occur to me that the rules be broken a bunch. Initially, they were going to be told their crimes up-front, but indifference and I thought it would be more interesting to keep you all guessing. Then it occured to me that we could end up with too many people imprisoned. It first struck me when directly after Brittany was imprisoned, faith started being shown through other characters. I couldn't help but think that we were going to end up with a ton of imprisonments and it would get confusing.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]For starters, if people really had started abusing the imprisonment deal, it would have been simple for you to ask people to alter their posts to keep the confusion down. Also what do you mean by the rules being broken a bunch? Only two rules were broken and not including your posts or the ones by indifference that comes to a whopping 0.065% rate of the 'rules' that would cause an imprisonment occurring. I'd hardly call that a bunch. Also since when were the idea's half-baked? No one is saying that. With everyone having total freedom to work with characters as they please, a certain amount of confusion is unavoidable. And so far I thought you were handling the loose ends just fine. About the only one I really disagreed with was mentioning that your characters died. Since knowing someone is out of the game makes it easier to attempt to determine who is left. [QUOTE=2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkRed]Though I realise at this point that it wasn't smart to think that, since there were so many damn characters to begin with. Seeing as how I already made the mistake of confirming your guesses, though, i went ahead with my ending of Brittany's punishment - namely because I didn't want her getting imprisoned 10 minutes later for praying again. I thought 'how can I get rid of her faith without altering her character too much?' So I did that whole thing, but then I got scared, and now I know not to use Deoky in my stories anymore XD I hate seeing characters die because of my own stupid mistakes, so I tried to rectify her before anyone could get to her, but that really is you guys' deciion to make. I'm stepping back now. *physically steps backward* Besides, I am in no mood to post here right now -- if I do so, it will end up destructive. I just have the utter desire to [i]kill people...[/i] so I'll go play somewhere else.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]I understand what you are saying here, since you wanted to keep her from being nailed for praying again. And at the same what Rach already explained occurred to me. That the ability to create darkness you mentioned came from Deoky's memories. And seeing that he was such an evil bastard in the previous one, I think it's a given that the first thought I had was to kill Brittany off. After all, I do want my characters to survive. ;P Anyway, what I'm trying to say is chill out a little okay? If I wasn't having fun I wouldn't bother to mention things that I find frustrating. Since I want this to be successful and right now in my opinion it is. ^_~ P.S. Besides just look at the drama going on! The underground thread is seeing more action than the main thread! :p[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520]Whoa DB! I think you need to cut back on the caffeine! [spoiler]I kid. ;P [/spoiler] Still, isn't the point of the game to keep things a secret from us? Even though we guessed accurately on the punishments you didn't have to confirm it. After all indifference referred to them as rule number so and so. And even if you lost your characters, why are you confirming that fact? It takes the fun out of it if you hand out pieces of the puzzle before we get to the end of the game. On another note altogether. Darn it all! I was hoping someone else would trigger one of the punishments. lol Still since we aren't to the end there's still hope. ;P[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520]Now that we are in sector one I thought I should clarify the difference between the different security and Elite forces that keep getting mentioned. Just to help avoid any confusion. [B] Basic military:[/B] Deals primarily with planetary defenses on the ground as well as for the planets where the enslaved races are. [B]Space forces: [/B]The part of the military that serves on the battleships and fleets of the Versilan Empire. This is the force that Fleet Admiral Stevens commands. [B]Elite military:[/B] Deals primarily with the security for sector one, the main home world as well as for the Council Center. Those in the Elite military outrank those of the regular military and the space forces. Other than the main commander for the basic military and Stevens who commands the space forces. Currently the one in charge of all the Elite military forces is Elite Commander Ketch Dakar. [B] Elite Specialists & Task forces:[/B] Elite specialists are the ones who handle the most sensitive assignments through out the Empire and answer to no one but the High Council. The Elite Task forces provide direct security for the Council members, though on occasion so does the Elite military as well. Like the Elite Specialists, they only answer to the High Council. Also, they do outrank all other military and security forces. Even their main Commanders like Stevens or Dakar. [B]Internal security:[/B] Deals primarily with security for high ranking officials like Darren and other politicians on not only the home world but other sectors as well. This is also the force that those who are trying to kill Darren are getting agents into, in an attempt to get them in position to kill him. Now there are other security forces as well, but they are usually local to each world or city. Those that I have listed are regulated by the High Council. They govern themselves for the most part, based on regulations set by the High Council, but any huge decisions have to be approved by the Council, like appointing Stevens. The previous Fleet Admiral could choose a replacement, but it still had to be authorized by the Council. Anyway, if there are any questions just let me know. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520]Well here's an updated list taking in account the new deaths and that Brittany is now freed, though like Rachmaninoff, after following along with the Maze...anything connected to Deoky needs to die. Before she gets turned into a crazy killer like he was. :animesigh [SIZE=1] [SIZE=3][B]Group One[/B][/SIZE] Sastasha Sandares Mary Winters Lucia Travera Katar Dakit [SIZE=3][B]Group Two[/B][/SIZE] Merik Jeffers Oromis Tu'wail Julian Marx [SIZE=3][B]Group Three[/B][/SIZE] Eliana Cedes Uriel Blaine Delita Lytle Alcuin nó Prideux Dafine Hecata Etamet Serena Scarlatti [SIZE=3][B]Group Four[/B] [/SIZE] Meredith Taylor Delilah Rousseau Brittany Cossentine [SIZE=3][B]Imprisoned[/B] [/SIZE] Nadia Dylenda [SIZE=3][B]Dead[/B][/SIZE] Kayrel Malone Penelope "Penny" Archess Moatilliata Graden Angela Godspeed Eloris Renten Shilos Krieger Lillathica Desmond Sykes Marius Stratums Claire Montoya Marcus Fenix Damian Legion[/SIZE][quote name='Rachmaninoff]Oh and before I forget. I say that we [B]imprison DB[/B'] if he decides to use a life card this round. ;P[/quote]I agree, I can certainly think of lots of good [I]punishments[/I]! :p[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520][CENTER][SIZE=3][U][B]Group Three[/B][/U][/SIZE][/CENTER] Uriel Blaine couldn't get the image out of his mind, the one of Penny's impaled lifeless body. Even if he didn't like children, he didn't want to see them dead. And even though they had finally managed to get through that temple room full of traps the next area they were in was even more annoying. When they had left the large temple-like room with the high ceiling and stone columns supporting it, it was into a narrow passage way made from the same stone with moss growing out of the cracks. Uriel did not like enclosed spaces. And the way the walls almost seemed to touch his shoulders on each side was stifling. "[B]I smell water,[/B]" Dafine said suddenly as she cocked her head to the side in a very catlike fashion, though she didn't know that it appeared like that to the others. "[B]Not that far ahead of us. At the most about a hundred feet.[/B]" The group continued with Etamet and Dafine in the lead, followed closely by the others with Uriel bringing up the rear. Even with the moss growing through the cracks and muffling the sound of their shoes as they walked down the passageway, their footsteps could be heard echoing back from both in front and behind. Then a moment later it was obvious that they were close as the rest of the group could also smell how damp things were. Shortly in front of them they could see light reflecting off of what appeared to be water, a fact that as they poured out of the passageway and into a huge stone room was confirmed. And the moment Uriel exited the passageway, a huge stone slab slammed down, cutting them off. Startled everyone whirled to face where the passageway had been. "[B]Well, I guess that means we are suppose to go forward.[/B]" Etamet stated. He turned back to look at the obstacle in front of them. The group was standing on a stone ledge about fifty feet wide and ten feet deep. A quick look at the crystal clear blue water showed that the part they were on was solid all the way down. But the real problem was that the next passageway was on the other side, easily several hundred feet away. They would have to swim across. It looked easy enough with the open ceiling above the water. An opening that seemed to be to another part of the stone temple they were in as they could see glimpses of other stone columns. As well as beams of sunlight that were shining down and hitting the water. Uriel tried to stifle a sigh since there wasn't a way to get to the opening above the water. He could swim, but he hated it. And in spite of all that had happened, he was tired, thirsty and hungry. His stomach was in knots from hunger and from feeling like being sick after what had happened to Penny. He wanted to simply go up into the other room, not swim across to the other stone passageway leading out of the area. "[B]Oh hell.[/B]" Serena said even as she burst into tears. "[B]I can't swim. Now what do I do?[/B]" She sank to her knees in despair. "[B]Well I can,[/B]" Dafine said kneeling next to Serena and placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "[B]I am an excellent swimmer and can easily carry you across the waters.[/B]" She stood back up and turned to face the group. "[B]I can do the same for anyone else as well.[/B]" She wrinkled her nose a bit. "[B]It is not considered civilized for one in my station, but all of my people are natural swimmers.[/B]" "[B]That won't be necessary,[/B]" Eliana said even as she removed her sandals and tore off strips of the hem of her dress to tie them to her waist. "[B]I'm good as swimming as well.[/B]" She glanced warily at the water. "[B]I'm more concerned with there being something in it. It may look clear, but we can't see far enough to be certain.[/B]" Uriel followed her lead removing his shoes and tearing off the sleeves of his shirt to tie them to his waist as well. "[B]I guess the only way to find out is to get going.[/B]" He waited while the others started getting ready, securing their shoes and abandoning heavier jackets altogether, since bulky water logged clothing would only slow them down. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520]Well here's another person who doesn't have an away message. Since to be honest, like Rach and Aaryanna, it never occurred to me. Since when I'm away, my computer is off. Or I sign out of MSN Messenger. About the only thing I've toyed with is the picture and color of the font. I've noticed how people change their sayings on a regular basis, but I've never given it much thought. lol And I guess a number of my friends are the same way since over half of my contacts don't have a message either. Though I would have to say that the funniest one out of those on my list of contacts who actually do have a saying is the one by BKstyles, his current one of: [I]Your lord and master [/I]Cracks me up. ^_~ I suppose one of these days I ought to add a message. As well as checking out the other features available. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520][quote name='BKstyles][font=tahoma]It was a pathetic sight moments after my fourth loss to [spoiler]Gabriel Celesta[/spoiler'], I just put my head down on my desk and started muttering curses wanting very much to throw the game out the window and pray for an eighteen-wheeler to crush it to next christmas. It's true, the maze is hardly anything to worry about minus two parts, the light sphere hunting on the fourth level (the range those things have on their attack is rediculous) and of course the aforementioned final boss. [/font][/quote]You know, I can drive an eighteen-wheeler. XP Though I've never driven over a game before. lol Anyway, now that I think about it, those light creatures weren't too bad, but then Albel had a tendency to send them flying before they could attack. what got me the most was some shaggy monster that spun and froze things. >_< It wasn't as annoying as angel boy, but it came pretty damn close. Anyway, it's funny you should mention that strategy Crystia, since after I peeked at my guide I decided to do just what you suggested. Go up far enough to snatch some scrolls to learn battle skills and such and then head for the caves. Especially since I finished transferring my refined boots of prowess from my current weaopns to my new ones that I got in the Maze. Of course I didn't have enough money to do it for my entire party, so I need to clear out some of the levels to earn some fol so I can continue upgrading my stuff. As well as eventually getting the courage to spend the time needed to go through the [spoiler]sphere company on the Universe level.[/spoiler] So much to do! lol I love it when a game you like has lots of things to play with. ^_^[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520]Well team, it looks like we now know who we are facing. Should be quite interesting. Especially since it looks like I'm up first, against my former team mate no less. XD Still should be fun. ^_^ I do have a question for Sandy though. When you say a haiku describing this competition, did you want it in the standard pattern of approximately 5, 7, 5? And though Japanese haiku are typically written as a single line, those written in the English language are usually separated into three lines. So how do you want it? I'm assuming that you want the 5, 7, 5 syllables and then separated into three lines. As soon as you clarify that I'll get working on it. ^_~[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520]Well even though I've beaten the game and I'm about halfway through on the harder Universe Mode I only just now got around to finishing the first of three bonus dungeon areas. The [spoiler]Maze of Tribulations[/spoiler] It wasn't too bad and other than a few monsters most of them were pretty easy to beat. But that final boss! o_O Good lord was it a pain! Fighting [spoiler]Gabriel Celesta [/spoiler] was an exercise in patience since when the boss's hp/mp reaches about half he starts using an attack called [spoiler]Dragons attack, which by the way is a pretty nifty look attack even if it does cover nearly the entire area and pounds your characters quite a bit. [/spoiler] It was a good thing that I had lots of restorative items since even with my better equipment and good attacks, other than the main character I controlled, the other two got KO'd on a regular basis. Though now that I did that I've realized that I missed the [spoiler]Raven Gauntlets on level three for Cliff. [/spoiler] So now I need to go back and get them. But even better... I now have access to [spoiler]The Santa Clause Merchant and all the Crafting Materials I want! Even if he does look creep as hell! lol [/spoiler] Still, once I can afford to do more at least I won't have to hunt for the materials I need for the customizing process. Well at least for refining things that I make that is. :catgirl: Anyway, now I'm off to start on the [spoiler]sealed levels of the Sphere company! [/spoiler] Even if there are way to many of them. o_O [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520][QUOTE=Darren] :animestun And obviously when I said everyone was "attacking the newbs" I wasn't implying that you were all being offensive... Sometimes my debate terms come to mind when I'm replying in these threads and your requst falls under constructive criticism. In my debates, that would be considered a Kritik, which is also an attack... But of course I won't try and explain that to you since you schooled me in the debate portion of OB Survivor. :animesigh Also, I dind't mean to imply that everyone was being mean to both Prem and HellsMinion. What was I supposed to do? Make a list of the people who had a problem with Prem and a list of those who had one with HellsMinion??? Nobody understands me! :animecry: Too much tension. This is supposed to be fun... Hopefully without the constant requests to correct Premp's posts, we can get back to the joy and love remniscant of The Labyrinth and Maze... lol (joy and love)[/QUOTE]Lets not start the debate thing again please. I've never been on a debate team or anything like that. All I did was present my argument in the best way I could. Hell I haven't even been to school in over ten years since I got my college degree back in 1994. o_O And I'm sure it goes without saying that it's harder to understand someone's intent from words alone instead of when you are face to face and you have their body language as well as other clues to help you know what they mean.[quote name='Darren'] BTW, what happened to Brittany? Wasn't she supposed to be released today at around 3:55 (if I remember correctly) central time... I know DB said something about adjusting it and making it longer in the future, but I guess I missed something important. Did we forget about her, or is she supposed to be back?[/quote]We can do anything we want with Brittany, in fact we can simply post about her as she tries to survive or simply kill her off since DB did say characters can die while imprisoned. As for the time she can be out Allamorph was kind enough to calculate that as you can see from his post here:[QUOTE=Allamorph][FONT=Arial]I don't believe so. 48 hours is two days, 72 hours is three. Brittany should be imprisoned until [B]3:55 p.m. US Central Standard Time, on Wednesday[/B]. Unless my math is off. For you guys who don't live Central, do your own conversions. :D [/FONT][/QUOTE]Anyway, I say we take a breather and wait until the killing is done and the next round starts. By then we'll have a more clear picture as to what's going to happen. [/COLOR]

As for the part I highlighted. I agree. Hehe. Anyway as for your complaint Sandy...I'm in complete agreement with BKstyles. The posts aren't what's confusing, its the sheer number of characters. Especially with everyone being able to control them. It's kind of unrealistic to expect everyone to keep all of it perfectly matched. >_< Once the number of characters gets thinned out things will get easier. And to be blunt, it doesn't seem all that disorganized, at least now that other issues were ironed out. It's just a bit busy, something that the death cards will fix soon enough. *tosses popcorn at Sandy* [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520][SIZE=3][CENTER][U][B]Group One[/B][/U][/CENTER][/SIZE] With a scream of rage Claire ran into the next room, desperately shaking and trying to brush off the remains of Marius. Cursing colorfully as she ignored her surroundings in favor of getting away from the door where the Golem was, even if it was too big to follow it didn't mean it couldn't reach through the doors if they were open. And the room they were in though constructed of metal was empty, if the Golem smashed the doors open there was nothing to keep it from simply grabbing who ever was in range. "[B]Someone's gonna pay![/B]" Claire screamed even as she picked pieces of Marius out of her hair and tossed them at the door they had come through. "[B]Damn stupid ignorant savages! You don't know who you are dealing with! I'll crush you! I'll make sure that CCC is put out of business![/B]" Claire was so enraged that she didn't even noticed that the others had moved to the next set of doors, cautiously staying away from her while she ranted and raved. Meredith shaking her head in disgust while Lucia was trying to calm the hysterical Mary by helping her clean her clothing off as best as possible. Even Katar seemed strangely quiet. With a sigh Marcus set the unconscious Damian down by the doors leading to the next section with the rest of the group and went back to attempt to get Claire under control. She was pacing back and forth talking to herself on how she was going to make sure every single employee of the CCC would be utterly ruined. When Marcus reached out and grabbed her right arm halting her, Claire shrieked with surprise. So caught up in her rant that she hadn't even noticed that he was there. "[B]If you're done pouting like a spoiled bitch it's time to get moving. You're not safe here, that thing,[/B]" he indicated the doors. "[B]Could easily rip those off and reach you here.[/B]" Claire pulled her arm free, stepping back, "[B]How dare you touch me![/B]" She fumed. "[B]I'll go when I'm good and ready...[/B]" Without warning the doors they had come through opened automatically when the Golem approached. Without hesitation it reached in with it's massive arm grabbing Claire before she or the others could register what was happening. Dragging her screaming towards the door until with a sicking crunch her head connected with the frame as the Golem tried to drag her through the door. Several times it tried to pull her through until Claire's head was ripped off as her body was finally dragged through the door with a sickening sound as other parts of her were torn off as well. "[B]What are you waiting for![/B]" Marcus yelled at the frozen group of people, "[B]Get through the doors, now![/B]" Meredith was already opening the next set of doors and a moment later she was through, it wasn't her problem if the rest of them were too stupid to get out of that room. A moment later Delilah along with Mary joined her. Meredith laughed inwardly as the weak Lucia attempted to drag Damian though the door and a moment later Sastasha started helping her. With a sigh of disgust Katar rudely shoved both of them aside and picked Damian up, hefting him over his shoulders and carrying him though the door. Ignoring Lucia's and Sastasha's look of surprise as they followed. Everyone but Marcus was through the doors, but just as Marcus was about to come though they slammed shut. Cutting him off from the rest of the group. Before the group could react the sound of of him screaming in rage could be heard and then horrible thudding sounds, leaving it clear as to what had happened. Without a word all of them backed away from the doors before turning and hastily looking for the next exit. Moving as fast as they dared though the huge underground cavern they were now in. A few minutes later they halted when they came to a chasm with a single walkway across. Barely big enough for two people to walk on. Without hesitation Lucia took Mary's hand and led her across the walkway until they were on the other side, Sastasha quickly followed. Along with Katar who was still carrying Damian. But when Meredith moved to step on the walkway, without warning it collapsed. Leaving her and Delilah on the other side. "[B]Are you alright?[/B]" Lucia called out to them. "[B]Forget it, we'll just look for another way across,[/B]" Meredith yelled back even as she looked at the rest of the area. Without hesitation she started following the chasm as it headed towards the right. She couldn't see the the wall in that direction, perhaps there would be a way out. A moment later Delilah started following her. "[B]Forget them.[/B]" Katar said as they walked out of sight. "[B]You should be worrying about what's on the other side of that door.[/B]" All of them turned to look at the set of doors behind them. Wondering if it was even safe to open them...

Group One with Katar, Lucia, Mary, Sastasha and Damian. And Meredith and Delilah now form Group Four. :p Hehe, and thanks again for that card DB. [/SIZE] :D

[COLOR=#DAA520][quote name='BKstyles][FONT=Tahoma']That kinda sucks, I didn't want anybody to get kicked out of the game like that...plus I kind of liked Marius, (not to mention I totally thought she was one of Beth's characters ;P. Hehe). Poor Angela though, after going through the trouble of saving two people...and what a way to go too. [/FONT][/quote]Guess you'll have to keep guessing! ;P @Darren: Uh, by the way, I didn't say a word about Hell's posts and asking Prem to branch out wasn't an attack but a request. lol I guess it doesn't matter since 2007DigitalBoy booted him out anyway. Still it's a shame it had to come to that. :animesigh [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520][QUOTE=Allamorph][FONT=Arial]On a less picaune note: Oh yippee. A torture chamber riddled with mentally insane, sex-crazed dark elves. Every [I]other[/I] species is at least halfway normal, but the elves get the schizophrenics, the H. Lecterns, and the rapists. Represent! [B][U]Afterthought[/U][/B] Exit Time: Thursday 5:06 p.m. US CST[/FONT][/QUOTE]Well we are talking about [COLOR=DarkRed]DB's[/COLOR] sick and twisted mind here. XP I can only imagine his instructions to indifference: make it sick, twisted, cruel, inhumane, etc. You get the picture. After all the Catholic girl ended up in a room with bolts of lightening/judgment and pits/hell. And elf girl ended up with insane/crazy and rapists/murderers. *dies laughing* One other thing, Explain yourself Allamorph! :p Since 'picaune' doesn't come up as a word and it doesn't register in the online dictionary. I think you're essentially saying on a less trivial note [implying that the concern over godmodding is trivial where the newest imprison post isn't] but hell if I know what you really mean! *pokes* And if you are making fun of Nadia's punishment/indifference's post... I'm gonna cry since I died laughing when I read it. ^_~ Anyway....as much as I hate to give you grief Prem, please do branch out and use a different character and group. Like Rach I feel a powerful urge to simply [I]kill Desmond[/I] and leave you with [I]no choice [/I]but to post about someone else. >_< I'm fairly certain Desmond isn't your character, but I don't care. At this moment I want him dead more than any other character! lol Which is why I'm going to wait on using my death card for a little while since I don't want to waste it on Desmond. :p[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520][QUOTE=Allamorph][FONT=Arial]I don't believe so. 48 hours is two days, 72 hours is three. Brittany should be imprisoned until 3:55 p.m. US Central Standard Time, on Wednesday. Unless my math is off. For you guys who don't live Central, do your own conversions. :D [/FONT][/QUOTE]Bloody hell! *smacks herself* I divided it using 12 instead of 24. XP Duh! And since you're in Central time, all I have to do is minus one hour since I'm in Mountain time. :p Making it 2:55 p.m. on Wednesday. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520]Well that works for me, I just looked at indifference's notes that she added at the bottom. So even though it's only twelve hours as far as game time goes, basically we can't free her for 56 hours our time right? And once that happens, provided she's still alive that is, I take it that anyone can free her? Or will you be the one to do that? Still, that's a long time. Poor Brittany, she'll be stuck there till Saturday morning! Ouch! [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520][QUOTE=2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkRed]In any event... :D get ready... there :devil: imprisonment! Explaination as to why it was who it was that made the post after school! I can [i]smell[/i] your surprise, lol![/COLOR][/QUOTE]All right I'll bite, where's the explanation? :p Especially since I'm willing to bet that my making Brittany religious resulted in her imprisonment. But more importantly...You put indifference in charge of the punishments?!? [[SIZE=1]I'm assuming that's what you did[/SIZE]] Brittany's gonna die that's all I have to say. And any other poor character that falls into [I]HER [/I]clutches. Hehe, still I have to admit when I saw she posted I was thinking 'what the hell?' LOL [QUOTE=Allamorph][FONT=Arial]One seems to be devolving into a regular shoving match with no clear method of proceeding. I mean, where's Bunny Foo Foo when you need him to do some head-bopping? Jays. Anyway, my schedule's getting tossed around right now, what with me working graveyard and all. I'll post as I can, but I can make no promises to be as prolific as [COLOR=DarkRed]Rachmaninoff[/COLOR] or [COLOR=DarkRed]SunfallE[/COLOR], or as spastic as [COLOR=DarkRed]DB[/COLOR]. (Seriously, it's like you've got Tourette's or something. :D ) I'll be sure to make up for it....[/FONT][/QUOTE]Well it is hard to do anything when you can't kill yet. And having a shoving match seemed appropriate for how those characters are developing. :p As for being prolific...it helped that it was a weekend. ^_~ I won't have quite so much time during the week though. And yeah, I agree DB [I]is [/I]spastic. :p[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520][quote name='Anomaly]good effort guys! Lame reasoning behind the choice, Sandy ;D regardless though, they did have a [B]cool[/B'] banner. So aight. We can handle a little loss here and there, especially because we don't have to lose a player =3[/quote]I wouldn't say lame, confusing perhaps...*pokes Sandy*...but hardly lame. ^_~ And it was clear that in different area's each banner and name outdid the other. :p Still unless Sandy has told the other team via PM what the upcoming duels will be, they will still be in the dark as far as matching people up goes. Besides just like they do, we have great team members so I have no doubt that the upcoming duels will be quite fun. However, in closing, if Sandy doesn't understand why a name like the Sunflowers would apply to something like this...*hands Sandy a Sunflower*...There that should clear things up. [spoiler]*pokes Sandy again for good measure* ^_~[/spoiler] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520][quote name='Darren']I also thought that the introduction requirement was part of the strategy of the new game: Keep your characters hidden and introduce as many enemies... I guess if I'm the only one who thought that, (and that wasn't DB's intentions) then I'm thinking into this game way too much. :animeshy:[/quote]Yeah, but that can backfire if you only introduce enemies and avoid your own characters. By allowing more simple introductions it makes it even harder to know just who is who. Besides, it just seems kind of pointless to go into huge detail when nine of them are going to die pretty quickly anyway. Even if we've already started giving them more character. But still, thirty posts? That's a lot to eventually get and so far other than a few characters everyone has been mentioned, discussed or at least described. And now that I've done Shilos Krieger that leaves Nadia Dylenda and Damian Legion. Though if I've missed anyone let me know. And speaking of character, since there are so many assassins, perverts (I'm looking at you BKstyles and how you had Katar going after Lucia :p), bitches, warriors and so forth I decided to make Brittany slightly religious. After all not everyone needs to be whacked out. lol[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520][CENTER][U][B]Group Two[/B][/U][/CENTER] Well this was a fine mess that he had gotten into. Shilos Krieger didn't know how had ended up in this hell hole but one thing was certain. Those who were here with him were nothing like the more calm and collected world he was from. They had to be from different worlds since none of them looked like his people. And from the beginning it was looking like who ever this CCC was or rather why they had brought them here was for some sick reason of their own. When they had been caught in the room that filled with the strange red substance it had confused him to hear the others refer to it as blood. Blood was black, not red. At least his was. And when Lillathica told the one called Merik that it was human blood due to the taste he had grimaced. One did not drink the blood of others. That was sick. Shilos sighed as he followed along with the group. Attempting to clean the horrible blood off of him as they continued down the hallway they were in. If not for feeling completely lost he would have headed out on his own. But he didn't know what to do at all. So he shuffled along, simply following their lead. He was closely behind one who called herself Brittany who was talking to someone called Desmond. Shilos was so short that both of them didn't seem to even realize that he was walking behind them. [i]What rude creatures they are.[/i] He thought as they talked as if they were alone. But then his attention was caught by the one called Brittany who was trying without success to clean the blood off of a strange pendant she was wearing. Shilos hadn't noticed it before, it must have been under her clothing. It was a strange yellow color and it looked like two sticks lying in opposite directions that crossed at one point. "[B]What is that?[/B]" Shilos asked her, startling both of them. "[B]It's a cross.[/B]" Brittany said, even as she made a strange little motion with one hand, muttering under her breath before she finally gave up and tucked it back under her shirt. Desmond just groaned. "[B]Don't tell me that your Catholic.[/B]" Brittany just laughed. "[B]So what? It's not like I'm all that devote you know.[/B]" She smirked. "[B]Besides, a little prayer can't hurt can it?[/B]" "[B]I suppose not.[/B]" Desmond said with a sigh. "[B]I don't understand, what are you talking about?[/B]" Shilos asked clearly confused. Just what was a Catholic and what did she mean by a little prayer? "[B]Forget it, we need to catch the others before we get left behind.[/B]" Brittany took off and started running towards the others. With a sigh Shilos started to follow her and then Desmond did as well.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#DAA520]I'm with BKstyles on this, there are way too many characters for an individual post for each one. Right now as far as what I've read the only characters who we have learned next to nothing about are: Nadia Dylenda Shilos Krieger Damian Legion Though I could have missed one of them being described a bit. The rest, even if not properly introduced we do know something about them. So if someone wants to correct me that's fine since there are so many names to keep track of. :animesigh But I'd rather allow simple intros that are in the same post. That way when the death cards can be used, anyone will be fair game. ^_~ Haha! I see that you were posting at the same time I was DB[/COLOR]
