[COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]^Underground Heh, I guess its kind of an obvious clue if one would think of it, yet I stil wonder why it took me so long to figure it out. And so we move on. nmdty You're the man now dog! I think I may have made that to easy. [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='r2vq][COLOR=SeaGreen']Well, there was no doubt this one would yield perverted responses. That, of course, is a good thing. ;)[/COLOR][/quote] [COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]I know, the scary thing is though that I didn't even do one, I think I am loosing my touch. Duo: "And I will let you have one guess where I am going to put this apple..." Or am I? That face was to funny to let go[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Ooh almost death things, these all sound intresting yet, very horrible to actually expirence. So far I can only recall two that come to mind. The first one happened when I was around six or seven. For some odd reason I was out up in a tree. Now why I was up in a tree I don't know, but I am certain that it must have been durring the summer time because the tree had absolutly no leaves on it. So being the stupid and mindless kid I was, I jumped off some part of the tree and I don't know where exactly on my back it was, but a treebranch ripped up the length of my back. I don't know how deep it went, since I can't obviously look at my back. but I know it hurt for almost a month afterwards, and yeah. I still jump off of trees anyways. The next one I think happened just two or three years ago when I was out shooting fireworks out in the country with one of my Mom's co-workers. So the day goes by and quickly turns to night. We have already shot just about all the explosives that we could find at eachother. It was finally time to shoot off some of the larger fireworks, the ones that all go sparkle and razamatazz in the sky. Well apparently one of the tubes that we use to launch those fireworks was broken without our knowledge, it would loose a lot of its thrusting power through a crack in the bottom. Of course all of the spectators around us just clapped thinking we had everything under control. So when we went to launch one of the larger ones, we set it up and fired it. It probaly went about ten feet or so in the air, and to keep in mind this things have a blast radius of about twenty to thirty feet. It was odd when just about all seven of us just stood and watched the thing fly and not move at all. The only though that I think that ran through our minds was "Oh...****" then it exploded, the last thing I remember seeing was all of the sparkles and such then I turned and went face first into the ground. When I opened my eyes again just about the whole field was dotted with small fires, my hair was on fire, as with part of my shirt. So I just patted my hair down like crazy and threw off my shirt. The first thing that came to mind is that if the fire got to the other fireworks then we were all screwed. Luckly it didn't and nobody was hurt to badly let off some light burns and such. Yet I still find that time off since having an afro may have possibly saved my scalp from getting burrned. Yet I still do the same thing ever 4th of July and New years eve. Its fun, even if it is dangerous.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS][quote name='Dare][size=1'] So I PMed a lot of people who were online (yes... I was one of those types of newbies).[/size][/quote] Ah, I remeber these, they are actually rather intresting, I think one time one asked me to help them with something that was 100% not anywhere near associated with the OB. More or less though, if I was to say that the OB did have a social ladder and I had to put myself somewhere on there, I really have not clue where I wouild go. Even though it feels like it has been forever for me I am yet to even been here for a year. I guess if I had to say so I am on the younger side of the average ages of those people seen on the OB. So yeah, I just draw up question marks on where I would go on a social ladder on the OB, so in saying that I am willing to say there isnt. (Even though there kinda is, the thread in the Suggestions & Feedback forum kinda proved that.) The only real kind of a ladder thing I can imagine though is like what Deathknight said in it being older and younger members. Kinda like a school for example, the people just going in and starting the school. Kind of look up to/respect/feel intimidated by those who are in the final grades of the school. The one thing that I have seemed to notice though, is that when most of the new members join the OB, they tend to automaticly think of it as just the same kind of form where thay can just say "OMG I LYKE LUVS HIM!" on some kind of a topic somewhere and think its alright. Then there are the others who have been here for a while and see this and automaticly say somewhere, somehow in their minds. "There goes another newbie" just because they didn't read the rules or that kind of stuff. Just to say, OB can be like a stuffed monster, even though it looks scary on the outside, its still all warm and cuddly on the inside. (bad comparison)[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Zoraki slowly opened his eyes once more, looking back at the ceiling after coming out of another one of his [I]?deep thought? [/I] moments. It was obvious why he did so. One moment he was just another ordinary person, in an ordinary world. The next?He wakes up in a completely different world from the one that he remembered. His home country was gone to a group named the Second faction. All these things caused a swirling torrent in his mind. Had he gone insane somehow? Moreover, was this all some kind of story to make sure he hadn?t tried to do something horrific... No I couldn?t be. ?[B]Maybe I am drugged up? And this is all some kind of dream, or a hallucination caused by the drugs?? [/B] He took a moment to consider if this was actually a possibility; it isn?t every day that this happened to the average person. The contents of the letter, could they be false? [I]No that can?t be right, I can?t be on anything. The last thing I remember doing was working on something, then passing out from exhaustion.[/I] He continued to think on the subject though. Theories after theories passed through his mind and they all came at a dead end. He even smacked himself to try to see if this really was a dream. Yet, once more, it came out to be false. After he eventually got too frustrated to even think of the subject anymore. He gently propped himself up onto the bed and sat on the edge. If this was, some kind of dream or even some person?s sick and twisted idea of a game. Now he had no other choice but to play it. Not to long after he sat up he heard a light knock at the door. [B]?Enter?[/B] he said halfheartedly and sprawled back out onto the bed looking up at the ceiling once more, as he heard the woman enter. He didn?t even want to move or get a look at her face. He just wanted to. Wake up. [B]?I see you?re awake??[/B] the figure said as she moved inward into his room and closed the door behind her. Zoraki got an interesting though in his mind as he heard her voice. It wasn?t somehow warped. Otherwise. As he looked at her and her dull looking features and noticed, she was indeed a human, not some kind of a monster or alien from another planet. That at least ruled out some of his other theories, yet there still were many more that stood.[B] ?Now then? Just whe-..? [/B] ?[B]You?re in the city of Paris 2 sir.? [/B] She interrupted him in mid speech and blink as Zoraki could only wonder. How did she know did she know what he was tying to ask? [B]?Why are yo-..?[/B] [B]?I am here to make sure you?re prepared for tonight?s Ball that Supreme Chancellor: Dominique Villette it hosting for all those who have just woken up from their Coma.? [/B] He could only help but blink at the word coma. So he was in a coma. This couldn?t be real, how was he put in a coma when the day before he was just fine? Yet he knew he had to stop. This could just have well been some kind of a game, and as with all games, he had to play it until the end. [b]?Just wait a moment though..? Zoraki said looking at the woman in a questionable glance. ?How do you already know the answers to all of my questions..Hm??[/b] ?[B]Its simple really, all of you who are waking up from your coma always have the same questions almost. Oh! I almost forgot to tell you, my name is Anne and I am sorry for not introducing myself earlier. There are a change of clothes here on the desk for you to change into once you go to the ball. Once you are ready to go the ball, which is in roughly an hour from now, just go over and touch the panel on the wall. Yet I really must be going. So for now sir, I bid you Adieu.?[/B] In addition, with that she disappeared behind the door once more. All Zoraki did was just shrug and decided to play along. He took notice to how she said the others who had woken up from their coma. Either this was some interesting twist to the game, or he was not the only one who was in such a confused state like this. He slid over to where the clothes were and after putting them on, examined them roughly. They looked almost like the clothes from... where he was yet they were somehow different he didn?t want to really think about it now anyways. He turned to the panel and sighed once more. [B]?So much for wonderland??[/B] and with that he outstretched his arm and touched the panel.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Well ever since I saw the origional commercial for the DS Lite, I was rather happy since I had given away my DS to my younge cousin. (Our family has a kind of tradition of giving/taking hand me downs). So when I got a DS lite it felt like a breath of fresh air again. So when I went to gamestop to ask for one. I expected it to be sold out or something like that but they had a plentiful stock of them. I think they may have had black ones but I just choose white because many of my handhelds seemed to have been a darker colors, besides it only made it seem that much more sexier than it was before. So all and all, after I popped in New super mario bros. I think the first thing that impressed me was how much brighter the screen was. It seemed a good 25% lighter than the origional ds' back light was. Well that and the size of the Stylus were the two upgrades that I liked the most. I think I actually managed to break one of the stylus's from the DS. Yet much like Avenged666fold said, this seems alot like what the SP did for the GBA. Yet I love it so..now I must go and play it some more.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=1][COLOR=#af992f]Ah, I know that face must by Fye, yet I just can't place if its from since many of CLAMP's characters look just so much alike that its just devestating to my mind, So I am just going to wing it and say thats its Tsubasa Chronicle... I think thats the only one that I have seen from them anyways.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Ha.. I wonder why I never slid back into this again, I guess I have just been a little bit to lazy/exausted from working to actually take the time to check. So far I think my favorite one may have to be dark warters. Probaly because I have had a similar kind of encounter, execpt mine just had many flailing tentacles along with some kind of detachable teeth. Man that was a scary time. Can't wait to see more, It was a blessing to revive this thread again though Gavin.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS][quote name='Tatsubei Yagyu][COLOR=Navy][FONT=Comic Sans MS]But I'll tell you someone I don't like, the Fuhrer. I thought it was weird he had the same title as Hitler, but seriously...[/FONT][/COLOR'] :animedepr[/quote] It isnt wierd though, its mostly the law of their "opposite world" thingy. The Fuhrer is Hitler in the world of Full Metal Alchemist, wierd huh? Yet, I though I swore I would never venture here. I don't know why but after seeing the Anime version of Full Metal Alchemist, I some how started to hate it, not the show though. I think I mostly hated some of the things that the fans did. Yeah you know what I am talking about. But somehow I got dragged into the manga, and for some odd reason (not the reason that it is still ongoing) I took to it a lot better than I did the Anime. Admist all the other changes in characters and whatnot. I think that so far I am up to chapter 60 (And when I say that I mean I just started that chapted and went on many sites to read summaries on what has happend thus far, yeah I am that lazy) and I have found it rather intresting, espically with the whole. [spoiler]Being able to turn a living human into a Hommuncli as with Greed and Wrath.[/spoiler] However one thing that I have always wondered in the series is that if there were the 7 deadly sins, Why havent the 7 virtues (Chasity, Abstinence, Generosity, Zeal, Patience ,Kindness, and Humility. Or some other kind of Synonnom of those words) Made an appearance yet. It just seems logical to me that if the sins are there than why arn't the Virtues Well that and also wondering how in the world [spoiler]Rentan Jutsu[/spoiler] is done, but besides that yeah. This series is intresting.. [/FONT] [/SIZE] [/COLOR]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1]I give you one little sentance thing, Squares are out and Rectangles are just so much cooler. :cool: However from what I can guess, that most of the Avatars that you found were GIF's or some kind of animation that was in between it. I believe that [URL=http://www.imageshack.us/]Imageshack[/URL] gives you the option to resize an image to 100x75 if you upload it with them. That should solve your resizing problem. If not then go with trying to find/ask someone to help you do it for you.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS][quote name='r2vq']but there's no adult-only version.[/quote] As far as you people know... However, I think it would be actually unreasonable to think of Naruto ending durring the filler arcs. The only thing I can really think of in Naruto is when [spoiler]when the first part of naruto being when they are still 13/14 ends, that part is mostly Naruto part I. Part 2 iswhen they come back all 15/16 years old[/spoiler] Other then that yeah, there really is no older/other version of naruto (note) Refrence to the picture for proof/details.

[COLor=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Hey...you know I just realised something. Didn't Tatsubei say something a while ago that went something like this? [QUOTE=Tatsubei Yagyu (at some point in time)][COLOR=Navy][FONT=Comic Sans MS] Why does the Resengan keep failing naruto lately (insert some kind of smiley face) //snip\\ You know what that means, New Jutsu! [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] Yeah...I am pretty sure it was something like that, but yeah, espically with the ending from 311, when Kakashi [spoiler]said that in this "new" kind of training he is going to be giving Naruto, he will be able to surpass him. I am guessing that this training is going to involve the Kyuubi somehow, because I am pretty sure that taking Naruto's nin/gen/taijutsu skills and getting those up are going to be near deadly/impossible for him.[/spoiler] Yet as for other spoilers this chapter, I found it oddly funny when Sakura found Sai [spoiler]reading up on how to act properly towards other people, and yet he still managed to call Sakura a hag, and still get hurt in the end.[/spoiler] Well that and I can finally laugh and say that Saskue is a [spoiler]druggie, or something like that. They said that Saskue's body was "larger" than what it sould be. Probally by some kind of a drug that Orochimaru made him take, I can only imagine what that much have looked like the first time it happened.[/spoiler] Yet, It looks like we are in for some more training, fun?[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Wooow, be it some kind of odd happening that almost nobody voted in this thing, it still holds still, Ezekiel moves on to The final round. Oooh wow.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=#af992f][SIZE=1]Well after stalking this thread for a little to long, I think Its about time I would slide my thoughs in on such things. For some odd reason though, I still can't get the though of the Shawn of the dead like roleplay out of my mind, I think that would have been a great idea if not the utmost funniest thing I have seen in a rp on these boards. Yet why is it that when I hear of that I can see a picture of a single human dancing in tune with a bunch of zombies in the background. The peter pan one sounds almost a little bit to intresting to let go though, yet I kinda need more of an example of what peter pan would be like in a dark enviroment, Because of you can imagine children dissapearing in a rp that has a dark like enviroment, yeah you can see where I am going with this. I think the first one could be good, but I just frankly don't know what Doctor Who is like really, and I haven't seen Angel at all. Yet, if it has an aspec of ghost busters on it I may get into it. What is more fun than sucking up a ghost with a modded vaccume cleaner? Yet I would be willing to help if you need any. These all look rather cool.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=1][COLOR=#af992f]Off screen instructior: "Now class, in most cases people would be drawn to the eyes in such a picture, yet if one looks towards the ears your see one thing, Two, Alien mind control probes. We must prepare ourselfs now." Bah, it was complicated, I couldn't think of a good one this time around. I have been stumped.. -admits defeat-[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Woo~ An online like rp, I have always wanted to try one, wondering what it was like and all. --------------- [B]Name:[/B] Sevarro Yaszavim [B]Birthdate:[/B] January 1st 2003 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Username:[/B] Ixi [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7299/b09b0wi.jpg]Ixi[/URL], He stands at around 5'9" and uses the staff in his hand as a kind of catalyst for the few spells that he actually knows. His clothes however, have changed to a deepish teal color to align him more to the elemental path that he has chosen. [B]Faction:[/B] Wind [B]Class:[/B] Wizard [B]Weapon: [/B] For a player that has gone for a while in the game, Ixi still tends to use the basic enchanted staff that he had durring the begining of the game. (The one in the picture.) [B]Known Spells:[/B] [B]Anima[/B]: This is Ixi's basic and one of the first wind oriented magic. With a slash of his sword, a green, sickle shaped of energy is drawn from the staff and flies in a straight, or if he had wanted it to, a curved line towards a target with the power to cut through most kinds of rocks. The more energy that he puts into the attack, the larger and more powerful the sickle like source of energy is. [B]Fimbulveter[/B]: With just another flick of the staff. Ixi is able to create a large high speed tornado. Although it may seem like just another run of the mill Tornado, Embedded within its swirling torrent of winds, there are many small and sharp pieces of ice along with the small objects that the tornado is able to pick up with its natural winds. [B]Exanimus:[/B] The jist of this spell enables Ixi to control wind and nothing more. Although it seems rather useless it can be quite useful in some times. If he controls it around himself it can enable him flight, If there was something nearby he could use the wind to throw it at an enemy. These are the only ways he has found to use this spell and there are bound to still be more along the way. [B]And of course, there will be some more later on in the game.[/B] [B]Skill Level:[/B] Ixi has actually gotten the game rather recently (As in the last 4-5 months.) He has gotten only three spells thus far but still intends to Atlas become much better than what he is now. He doesn't consider himself a pro just yet, however he knows he isn't a newbie either. More of a happy medium. ------ Hope that was good enough or something close to it. I think my second spell may be going over to the water side since it involves ice and all, but I didn't think that was to much a problem. Pm me if it needs changing.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Well if your thinking about showing them to us you should go down to the Ob Anthology, if you just wanted to show them on the net, I know there was this one site that actually hosted other people's fanfics but the name escapes me now. Yet, if your going to post her fanfics, be sure to atleast give her credit on them because that would be stealing...which is bad.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='Gun Preacher'] but would like to have hot mealted sex with her yeah[/quote] [COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]... Ah... ... Yeah... ANYWAYS! From my somewhat knowledge on anime like stuffs I really think this looks more like origional work than something thats from an anime show. I could be wrong, You should ask the Queen of all anime knowhow and such...yeah.. Thats Dagger.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Woooow, Was that one suppose to give a challenge or something like that? It seemed rather easy. Its [strike]Full Metal Panic! ^_^[/strike] er, what I ment to say was that it was Full Metal Alchemist. Just as a note though if this thread is still going to go on. Maybe you shouldn't give out hints in the URL link? Now it is my turn.. {insert evil laughter} [IMG]http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/6950/omgomgomgph34rthemystery4md.jpg[/IMG] It shouldn't be to hard, its just the anime that I seem to be obsessed with as of late ¬ ¬ [/FONT] [/SIZE] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Well besides my obvious issues with the dating system of a calander. To any who actually Wish to do so voting is now actually open, I could have done it yesterday but yeah, Didn't want it to get to complicated. Yet remember the final day for dating is the 14th of this month, so there is no confusion unlike last time...[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Ha, after countless days of exterior mind planning I have finally come out with the personas. In the catergory of looks I look most like Mugen from Samurai Champloo, the most predominate similarity between the two of us would probaly be the hair. While mine does seem to be a little bit more.."Poofy" than his does, for the most part it its the same. Execpt I don't have the stubble form of a beard that he has, well not yet alteast >.> As for a personality I would most likely be akin to that of Inzuka Kiba from Naruto. It could be our ideals of acting like we are a leader of a group of people when we really have no clue what we are doing, yet we falsify that in our minds thinking its right until we get pressed into a point that it becomes obvioust that we were just winging it.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Ah, I agree on with Raiyuu on the aspect that this fight is really begining to look like the last one that the group had gotten into. One group takes on another group and yeah, only this time everyone else is slightly stronger and yeah. [spoiler]I wonder if Hitsugaya ever finalised his Bankai so that the three shuriken like timers behind him arn't there anymore. As for the fact of if Ichigo is going to go all [spoiler]vizard on Grimjow I really think its going to happen. From what I remember in the training session stuff, he goes into a kind of position as if he is going to rip his face off, but really materializes the mask instead. That looked like the same position that he was in at the end of the chapter.[/spoiler] I am wishing though that if he does go all [spoiler]vizard on grimjow, We wont have something that goes along the lines of. "Oh my! Ichigo was only able to go for ten seconds durring training, but now he is almost at thirty minutes![/spoiler] Thats almost a real monotinous thing that occcours in anime.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS] -slides in before a riot begins- [quote name='silver_blade']I think the last vote for you did not follow the guidelines so it was discounted. I really liked both pieces, but I was rooting for you. :([/quote] Thats exactly what happened, since the participants were given exactly five days from the date that both pieces were due. So that leaves the first, the second, third, fourth, and fifth for days of voting. So yeah, since Kitty's vote was on the sixth of the month it didnt count and all so that is where your score comes from. Sorry to say for White, but Boo goes on to the prefinals match.[/color][/size][/font]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS][quote name='Dagger']I I've gotten PMs there from people who were bewildered about my gender, and I've been mistaken about the genders of members whose posts I read frequently.[/quote] You know to be completly honost, I though you were a male for the first four months that I was at this forum. Then for about the next half of a month I was just in question. Then I finally got it but hey. Atleast I am honost? Considering this is really the first forum that I actually keep a continous amount of posting on. I really find it intresting that for the most part there are no gender specification. I think for all of the people that I have guessed on what there genders were. I have been right just about 25% of the time if not lower. So in other words. I really don't think that there is a thinkg that most girls do on forums that some guys do. Well in some cases yeah, but on Otakuboards I can kind of see it in some members. Yet others can really be a mystery I am pretty sure that there may be some member on the Ob whos gender that I am not sure of. Oh yeah, one last thing.. Ph345r T3h 1337 ..yeah thats all.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
