well, it shouldn't matter anyway, seeing that we've got 5: No lynch 2: Lrb 1: Tetra So, seeing that everyone's voted, I guess unless someone wants to change their mind, we wait for Sephiroth to come and take us into the night cycle.

I actually really hate star trek. And for some reason, up until I saw the preview a couple days ago, I thought they were making it into a new season. (Not a movie) But two names have convinced me to watch it: J.J. Abrams and Zachary Quinto. So... Yeah.

Actually yes, I love this show. I haven't missed an episode yet. When they were interviewing the actress who plays Agent Dunham, she said that the thing she likes so much about it (and the thing that distinguishes from shows such as the X-Files) is that it all seems probable to the human mind. If you've only seen those two episodes, you should really get online and watch the others because you're missing out. The first one was great, but this last episode wasn't one of the best. For example: [spoiler] Last weeks episode was where an agent of the FBI had some kind of organic creature latched around his heart. They were trying their best to save him. They ended up trying to receive information from a dead man via electrical impulses just in time for Olivia to save the agent. It was pretty exciting. But the more exciting part was when you find out that the agent was actually a double agent and inflicted the creature upon his self so his spy/wife could get the info... Something about "Little Hill." Anyway, that same agent, was the one who shot the red-haired woman in this last episode. So, anyway....[/spoiler] Yes, it's all a very good show. I hope it succeeds because it's one of my regulars.

I finally got a chance to post... And sorry if it's a little sloppy and rushed. I just don't have the time to sit around my dorm's social lounge. I really can't wait until I get connection back. Anyway Aaryanna, let me know if the post was okay on Katelyn's part. I didn't have her follow Jamie or anything so she's pretty much free except for the images he left with her. (Of course, if she wants to follow him to make sure he's okay, that's fine) Also, I intended for the doctor to be P.J.'s character. I'm feel pretty safe in saying that he's not participating in the RP anymore, so I just meant for him to be a NPC. Still though, since I didn't directly use his name, if you'd like me to take the image down from my post, I'll do that. Again, sorry for rushed/sloppy post, but hopefully this connection problem will be solved soon and I can finish this RP without any problems.

[I]What happened?[/I] He thought. He was lying on his side. He was on top of something. He tried to move, but his left arm wouldn't respond. [I]What's going on here?[/I] He could faintly hear screams, as though someone was speaking through a tunnel. [I]How did I get here?[/I] Jamie began hyperventilating, taking quick and panicked breaths. It was accompanied by sharp twinges on his left rib cage. When he moved he saw that he landed directly on his camera. [I]That explains the pain.[/I] He tried to sit up, but his head was swimming. Instead, he ended up rolling onto his back, freeing his left arm, which seemed to be dislocated. Jamie threw off his broken camera and closed his eyes, listening to the strange sounds that were slowly changing into something comprehensible. [B]"Are you okay?"[/B] The words were very hard to make out and he couldn't tell if whoever spoke them was male or female. Jamie opened his eyes a tiny bit. He was so exhausted. He wanted to sleep more than anything. Even a simple task of opening his eyes made him feel like his head was going to explode. The image in front of him took forever to come into focus, but he finally recognized it as a doctor. [B]"Can you sit up?"[/B] He asked. [I]No, are you kidding me?[/I] Jamie's mental response was agitated, but he tried anyway. With the man's help, he seemed to be able to do it. He closed his eyes again, not able to handle the trace of colors that followed his eyesight, as though everything was becoming clear a few seconds late. [B]"I'm going to throw up."[/B] [B]"You may have a concussion. Do you think you can stand up?"[/B] the doctor asked. [I]No shit.[/I] He thought. Jamie noted how agitated he was, but more than anything he just wanted to sleep and maybe figure out what had happened. [B]"Miss,"[/B] the man said, motioning to someone [B]"Do you think you can watch him. Make sure he doesn't fall asleep?"[/B] The man left. Jamie had no idea why. He hadn't even given him a proper examination. A new shoulder appeared for Jamie to rest on. [B]"Mr. King, can you hear me?"[/B] The voice sounded familiar but the reporter couldn't place it to anyone he had met. [B]"Jamie, it's me, Katelyn."[/B] [I]Katelyn from the Von Braun?[/I] Suddenly, everything came into focus. All of his sense were in high alert. He remembered that after he saved three copies of the pictures from the outpost on three portable hard drives, he had heard the warning and went to the emergency access point. It was crowded and then everything got fuzzy. He remembered seeing Ilona, hearing a lot of screams, blackness... Jamie opened his eyes to see the ground littered with the bodies of the Von Braun passengers. He looked all around him, hoping to find Ilona. He remembered seeing her. She had to be around her somewhere. Just a few feet behind Katelyn, she was lying there, a pool of blood slowly forming around her head. The reporter stood up too fast, Katelyn trying her best to support him considering their weight difference. His head was spinning and just like he predicted, he turned to the side and threw up. Everything was still in a haze, but he knew that he had to find Alex. But first... [B]"Take this."[/B] Jamie reached into his pocket for one of the three flash drives that he had made. He shoved it into Katelyn's hands before stumbling off in the direction of the bar. No doubt the girl had no idea what was on it, but Jamie had the intention of giving her a copy long ago. Perhaps it was the concussion that made him forget to tell her what was on it, but he needed to find his partner. He needed to make sure Alex was okay. [/SIZE]

I'll take Mr. Blonde's cue and go with "No Lynch for now" (BTW, I'm assuming you got that from Reservoir Dogs... Thought I'd point out that I love that movie)

I'm really sorry guys. They're renovating my dorms on campus right now and it completely messed up my wi-fi connection. :animecry: I don't get connection except in one tiny corner of my room and when I do, it moves really really slow!!! I will post though as soon as possible. I'm going to try and take my laptop to class and work on it there. (seeing that I never pay attention in class anyway) Thanks for the patience.

Unfortunately, Thanksgiving is the time of year that everyone in my family decides to have a family reunion. Even more so, my family is filled with religious, racist, and very judgmental people... Every year, my mom gets crap for marrying a white man. (Instead of another indian) I get crap for being so open about my lack of religion. (and my refusal to say prayer) And my brother gets crap for having two children (one out of wedlock) and being divorced. They're really going to go all out on him this year when they find out that he's got a third kid coming. (Also, out of wedlock) It always ends in tears, someone leaving, curse words being thrown, perfectly good food being thrown, or an actual fist fight. Yes, my family is the definition of dysfunctional. Last year, my dad decided not to go because of all the verbal abuse. It was sad but kinda funny because all the older members were so excited. They thought my mom was getting divorced. Also, every year, all 80+ members of the family go around and say what they're thankful for. My response is always, "I'm glad there hasn't been a fight yet," which usually inspires one. I guess I shouldn't say that, but it's the only thing I'm truly thankful for when I walk into that environment... I really don't want to go. Neither does my mom, but coming from such a tribal family, all of the older members take GREAT offense if you just don't show. They may even decide to show up at our house to see why we didn't go. So, as good as the food may be, I just really really hate Thanksgiving. I'm worried that my food may be poisoned one year. :animedepr

Okay, so I was bummed that there are some others who have already listed some of my suggestions. Darn, but I'll list them again just because they're too good to be left out. And actually, thinking about it now, some of these are probably on AFI's list or you've already seen them. I did take it a bit further, and decided to give you trailers (the bolded ones) in case you've never heard of them 1) [URL="http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2527396121/"][B]Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind[/B][/URL] (2004) starring Jim Carry and Kate Winslet 2) The Rainmaker (1997) starring Matt Damon, Danny DeVito, and Claire Danes 3) [URL="http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi414974233/"][B]Brick[/B][/URL] (2005) starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt 4) [URL="http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2896494873/"][B]Europa Europa[/B][/URL] (1990) starring Marco Hofschneider [Foreign Film] 5) [URL="http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi981795097/"][B]Running with Scissors[/B][/URL] (2006) starring Joseph Cross and Evan Rachel Wood I would give more, but searching for the trailers and all that is becoming tiresome. Plus, everyone else has pretty much taken all of the others from my list.

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]More accurately, I'm familiar with the laws governing the treatment of slaves?the majority of which were designed with the slave, and not the owner, in mind. And no, not that you [I]will[/I] twist the context. Rather, I think it's a poor idea to try and use someone else's reference point to argue against them if you're unfamiliar with it, which you just admitted. So my impression is that you heard there were sections in the Bible about slavery and assumed that that was the same institution as the one that rooted itself in the Southern states. Point is, I know what you would have quoted if you had quoted, and already know what it's really talking about. So I was just curious to see how you'd had it twisted [I]for[/I] you; I don't believe you would twist it yourself, just that you might have heard someone else do the twisting and thought it made sense.[/FONT][/QUOTE] Well, first of all, I'll say what I've been told before: Making assumptions isn't wise when you have no idea how to accurately portray the person the assumption is implying. Which in this case, you did. Your impression is wrong. I didn't hear that there were sections in the Bible about slavery and assume that was the same institution that rooted itself in the Southern states. I heard a direct verse from the bible (And I've read it previously) and interpreted it they way I did because that's [I]my opinion[/I]. Second, just because I'm atheist now doesn't mean I wasn't a hardcore christian for the majority of my life. Just because I haven't picked up a bible in about three years doesn't mean I'm not familiar with it. I can still quote several verses that were influential to my upbringing and are still a large part of who I am today, despite having left religion behind. And I have read the bible cover to cover. (Of course, with such a long-winded, dry book, you can understand why the details are a bit fuzzy after all these years) So again, you made an assumption, which was wrong. Lastly, you claim to know the exact verse I was going to quote, but you don't unless you can read the future or something. If you're so adamant that we're talking about the same verse, then why don't you do the honors and post it here since I'm obviously not able to at least until Thanksgiving. (Granted that I feel like sifting through that boring book instead of spending time with my family) If you're right, it would certainly make it easier for me to solidify my stance in this debate. Exodus, Leviticus, I don't really care. Two of your assumptions were wrong, (the third: pending) and they were ultimately counter-productive to the debate. So, if you'd like to further the discussion on this tangent over slavery, then post what verses you were referring to. And other than that, I can only suggest keeping your assumptions to yourself (as I have been told to do so myself before) because they're pretty offensive.

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]Try Leviticus. I'd post it myself, but I'm curious to see you spin the context.[/FONT][/QUOTE] I'm a little offended that you said that... You just assume that I'll twist the context. I guess it's payback though for what I said in the Obama thread. But actually, I don't own a bible. That's one of the things that comes along with atheism. And even if I did own one, I wouldn't waste my time reading ALL of leviticus. Besides, that might not even be the same verse. But you've obviously heard of the promotion of slavery through christianity or wouldn't presume to know of whatever verse I'm talking about...

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]It sounds to me like you're putting words in your friends' mouths while trying very hard to make a scapegoat for the issue. I find this faulty; for instance, although servitude is established in Judaic law, there are multiple clauses protecting the slave from oppression, and much of the Southern plantation slavery ran completely counter to that. In other words, American slavery is condemned by Christian doctrine, and yet it pervaded our country from colonial establishment until some time after the Civil War. Yes, homosexuality is not accepted within Christian doctrine. But that is our sphere, and the rest of the issue is social, not religious. Likewise, racism was a social issue, women's suffrage was social, and slavery was a financial and economical issue; none were religious. I can understand you being frustrated by people blindly following ideals they barely understand, but you really need to stop blaming us for things like this that don't go the way you wanted. Like I said to [COLOR=DarkRed]Kataki[/COLOR] above, matters of civil rights have [I]ultimately[/I] been decided by authorities beyond the direct influence of the people, but the issues themselves sat at the common level for years before being reconciled. Women's suffrage was an issue before the Revolutionary War, even. How long was it before they received acknowledgment of the right to vote, again? This kind of change doesn't happen overnight. And perception of time is greatly distorted by history books, where you can read in a matter of minutes what took years to achieve.[/FONT][/QUOTE] Well, agree to disagree? It's really hard to get my point across on this topic over the internet. But I do think a lot of those issues had religious ties to it. ESPECIALLY SLAVERY. Again though, I really don't care to get into it. If/when I find the bible verse that I think promoted a large portion of slavery, I'll post it here. But again, we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Everyone has their opinions and that one is mine, whether you think it's faulty or not.

[quote name='Kenso'][FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=1]Therein lies the problem, Darren. These aren't just about getting married in a church. Marriage is its own legal status, aside from being a religious thing. Even if it's done by a JoP, it's still a marriage. Even if 'gay marriage' was legal, a church has the right to deny performing the ceremony based on religious reasons (thanks to our religious freedom).[/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE] Oh, I know that. (About it being its own legal status) What I was trying to get at is that it seems the large portion of resistance comes from christianity either directly or indirectly. Sure I can agree in saying that it's not only christians who voted yes for Prop 8. But really, let's think about reasons why others voted yes for it. I can't speak for everyone, only a few of my friends from California who did vote yes for it. And even though they're self-proclaimed atheists, when I asked them why they voted yes on it, they replied because they thought it was wrong. When I asked them why, they had no real answer. Like it's been said before, our government was largely established by 1800s conservatism. Which is extreme, even for today's conservatives. The point is that even if someone had alternative motives for voting yes on the proposition, I believe that christianity played a large role in it. Why? Because Christian doctrine and theology are so well rooted in this country that it's instilled into many peoples brains to this day even if they claim not to be a christian. Something that they're not willing to give up so easily. Just an observation. (While I'm at it, let's just say "religious doctrine," because christianity isn't the only one that disagrees with homosexual relations)

I didn't read the other posts here because I'm tired. So I hope this hasn't been said already. First of all, I'm extremely upset that it passed. Not only that, a similar ban was passed in both Arizona and Florida. Not to mention that Arkansas (quite possibly the most backwards state I've ever lived in) passed a law banning any couples who aren't married from having foster children!!! First of all, to Arkansas, the ban was created as a way to bar gay couples from having foster children. (Seeing as they can't get married) I guess the state of Arkansas never thought about the opposite side of the story in that there aren't enough foster homes as is and that even some straight couples aren't married who may want foster kids but are now banned from it unless they get married... Ridiculous. (And a total run-on sentence... I don't care) Second, my whole view on gay marriage is simple: The government has no right to tell churches they aren't allowed to perform ceremonial unions between any two people. (Separation of church and state) The way I see it, it shouldn't even be a governmental issue. It should be entirely up to the individual churches as to weather or not they would want to unite two men or two women in holy matrimony. Personally, I don't see why gay couples want to get married in a church. They're all about the bible and to them, being gay is so morally wrong that they probably don't even want to be uniting a gay couple. There's a little thing called justice of the peace. (And no, it doesn't have to be all run down and a quick five minute ceremony where only three people show up as witnesses. It can be just as fancy as a real wedding) There was an article that I read somewhere the day after Prop 8 passed that said, "The fact that the government would put the fate of a minority in the hands of the majority is wholly unethical and wrong. If it were any other minority group such as latinos or african americans, America wouldn't have a problem calling it like it is: Prejudiced." (I paraphrased that quote because I can't find the article anymore) I completely agree. This shouldn't be an issue of state or national affair. It should be up to individual churches and how they want to interpret the bible in regards to gay and lesbian relationships. There shouldn't be debates. There shouldn't be voting. There shouldn't be prejudice. It should just [I]be[/I] and it should have been like that from the beginning. Okay, I'm done ranting now.

[quote name='chibi-master'][B]HOLD IT![/B]Who's too young, me or Anime_girl5? I can't tell. If it's me, I agree. If it's her, I dunno, could be. And I said "usually don't work". Please don't make it sound like I said "THEY NEVER WORK! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!! RAWR!!!", 'kay?;)[/QUOTE] I meant you. And you did tell her to quit right now and give up because most don't work out. You were basing that off of your personal experience with long distance relationships. I think you said enough though.
-
[SIZE="1"]Well, I normally stay out of these types threads, but I don't think you've been receiving the best advice thus far. Not that mine will be any more productive; just a different perspective. I will start by saying that you're young, but I know plenty of people who have met their soulmate and gotten married at an even earlier age than 17. People who have been together for 10+ years and are still together today. So I understand the difficulty that you're going through. Sure, you will find someone else regardless (I have no doubt about that) But there is the saying: "You never love like your first." I don't think the answer can be solved with a simple question such as "Can you live without him?" Because the situation itself isn't that simple.[/SIZE] [quote name='chibi-master']Give it up. Now. No waiting. Long distance relationships don't usually work. I've had one, had it shot down, ressurected said long distance relationship, and had it shot down again. Besides, it sounds like your BF's pretty dense in the ways of relationships.:animesigh[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Here's where I'm going to completely disagree. No offense to chibi-master, but in my opinion she's too young to hold together a long distance relationship. (No offense is meant by that statement) I also know several couples who are working through a long distance relationship while they attend college. I am also currently in a long distance relationship and it's working out perfectly right now. That's not to say that it will last; it depends on the people, the connection, and how deeply you two truly love each other.[/SIZE] [quote name='Drizzt Do'urden']I'm going to tell you straight up how it is, honestly. He says he wants a girlfriend for life and no kids? He's full of it, he may be telling you how he feels now, and I'm not going to go with the cliche of "of you guys are just still so young", but in a few years he's be chomping at the bit to be a daddy. One thing I've found is that girls may want to wait to become moms, or may never want to become moms and they can stick with it; a guy on the otherhand can't fight that. People may say its because we're programmed for sex but thats not true, every guy wants to be a daddy and he'd come around.[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"][B]Objection![/B] Not true. Sure, I suppose you can say a guy has commitment issues, but I completely disagree. Children terrify me. And the thought of settling down for the rest of my life just seems impractical. Besides, marriage is just a title and piece of paper to me. To claim that every man wants to be a dad and get married is a little ridiculous. However. This shouldn't really affect your decision on weather or not to be with him. Relationships are give and take kind of things. Obviously if both of you are very stubborn, it's not likely to work out. The same way that you may (or may not) be willing to try and work out a long distance relationship, he may (or may not) be willing to try marriage and parenthood. This is also a lot of give on your part if you decide that your love is strong enough to stay with him and hope that someday he'll be up for it. So, you said that he's the type of boyfriend who doesn't ever want to intentionally hurt you. You said that he's also told you that he does want be with you. (But suddenly changed his mind) My opinion on this is that he doesn't think the long distance thing will work out and he's trying to let you down easily without intentionally hurting you... Of course, the only way to discover this is to ask him straight out. I know it's difficult, (especially when it comes to the fear of him saying no) but it's very important that you are both clear on the intentions and what direction both of you are wanting to take this relationship before you end something too soon. And if you discover that he's just scared about the relationship, but ultimately, you both want to try to work things out, you'll both have to work very had to let each other know that you care for one another and that you trust each other to be however far apart... I know it's a bit counterproductive, but I don't think it's as simple as just throwing away such an important relationship. I hope this helps.[/SIZE]

Yeah, I'm still in this... Finals are coming up soon and I've been a bit stressed out with school and all.

Barack Obama: Confirmed to be 44th President of the United States
Darren replied to Mr. Maul's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='Drizzt Do'urden']Now you can't really play the "People just voted for him because he's black" card, because there are many people heck who I even know, who didn't vote for him because he was black. Plus when you consider that over 60% of people in the U.S. are white, and only something like 12% in the last census were black there's no real logic in worrying about whether he won due to his race.[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Well, I don't know about that. This election was record breaking in the areas of young and black voters... And it's fine, as long as they voted on the issues, not his race. (Which I doubt) And let's take your scenario Drizzt: Let's say 12% are black. (Which isn't correct, but I'm not gonna argue) Let's say 11% voted for Obama. (Because I know there are some black people out there who voted for McCain. It was probably less than 1% but oh well) Then let's combine that with muslim voters, latino voters, immigrants, (who have achieved residency) gays and lesbians, and all the other minorities which make up the remaining 40%. The demographics have shown that these minorities also voted for Obama, for the most part. Then, you've got 60% white. (And just for the sake of argument, let's say that the majority of white folk voted for McCain) Obama still won the popular vote. Why? Well, I would like to think that it was because of his policies, (and I'm going to stick by that opinion) but I can't help but think that a large part of the popular vote went to Obama simply because of his race. Let's face it, minority groups relate to Obama far more than McCain. The same way, if you want to throw age in there since young voters really voiced their opinion this election, young voters relate more with a younger president. And yes, coming for a very red state, (and a large portion of my family doesn't have a problem with saying they're racist) I know a lot of people who voted for McCain simply because Obama's black. And actually, thinking about the current percentage rates on popular votes according to CNN, your scenario seems about right. It's almost split evenly. The only way to change it in favor of Obama would be to take some of those white folk and assume they voted for Obama. (which they did) It's times like these I'm thankful for the Electoral process that we have because if it were all a popularity contest, I have no doubt that this country would be worse off. As for the economy, You'll notice that it's gotten worse since Bush has been in office. I was a little too young to remember Clinton's administration, but I don't think the economy plummeted right after Bush went into office. It plummeted right after 9/11, which had absolutely nothing to do with either Clinton nor Bush. (It just so happened that it was right after Bush went into office) However, this current economic crisis is entirely on Bush's shoulders.[/SIZE] -
Barack Obama: Confirmed to be 44th President of the United States
Darren replied to Mr. Maul's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='Miss Anonymous']This is something that has bothered me about people who are against McCain. I hate the excuse that you shouldn't have voted for McCain because of his age. If you're going to vote against a candidate, let it be because you disagree with their policies, not because of their gender, age or race.[/QUOTE] The same can be said for those who voted [I]for[/I] Obama just because of his race. I know a lot of people here who voted for him just because he's black and that really infuriates me! Seriously, learn the policies that a candidate has before you vote. I'm backing Obama 100%, though. I would have backed McCain too if he were elected. I think that's what Americans should do. At least until the president royally screws up. I preferred to vote independent, but Nader didn't make Oklahoma's ticket and there was no way I was going to vote for McCain. (And not because of his age) I do think Senator Obama's inexperienced and he's got a lot to prove what with his entire campaign slogan being about change. But I have faith. Then again, I had faith in George W. way back when. Things can change so easily. We'll have to wait and see. I think it's interesting to see how close the popular vote was as of 11:00 central time. it was 51/49 for Obama. (I don't know how it is now) -
Barack Obama: Confirmed to be 44th President of the United States
Darren replied to Mr. Maul's topic in General Discussion
Just voted about an hour ago. This was my first real vote and I'm proud that I did. And just like Raiha, now I can sit back and complain about the results without getting dirty glances. And leave it to Oklahoma to have a proposition on new hunting/trapping laws... I guess that says something about which way my state is leaning. -
I'm closing this as well. I didn't realize that you created two sign-ups in two forums. Please refer to the theatre thread for the the reasons as to why I'm closing these threads.

[SIZE="1"]First of all, Katakidoushi, I'm going to ask you to refrain from any sort of back seat modding since you aren't one. If you think a thread violates OB rules, you can report the thread to me, if I haven't already seen it, and I'll take care of the problem. And secondly, yes Kai Master, this thread is going to be closed. Earlier, when I asked closed your auditions thread, I told you that you need a back-story, and a sign-up... Unfortunately, you still haven't provided one so I will close this. Also, this was in the complete wrong forum. Sign-ups go to the auditions thread. You simply can't create an audition without a proper back-story. The readers need some sort of plot that you want to take the story with as well a sign-up sheet. An example would be: [B]Name:[/B] [B]Age:[/B] [B]Gender:[/B] [B]Height:[/B] [B]Weight:[/B] and so on. This allows for people to create their own characters for the RPG and they're able to give a description for the other players to avoid confusion when the actual RPG comes to play. Again, I'm going refer you to the rules. I ask that you look over them carefully before posting an auditions thread again: [URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=58238"]RULES[/URL] But in all actuality, you may benefit more from taking a look at the other sign-up threads in this forum. There are many great examples of how a sign-up sheet should look. Again, please take the time to read the rules and make sure you fully understand the posting guidelines before you try to recreate thread. If you have any questions, you can PM me and I'll help you out. Thanks, D [COLOR="Red"]Thread Closed[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Well, since Halloween was on a Friday this weekend, the festivities don't end until Sunday night. Last night, I partied and got a bit tipsy with some friends... We would have done more, but I was already really tired from driving six hours straight. Today, we're going to the OU/Nebraska game here on campus... But we'll probably leave early so we can go this haunted castle thing. (It's not really haunted. Just an annual attraction that's actually really scary) And I'm sure alcohol will be involved... Then, on Sunday, we're probably going to the club or something like that. I'm not really sure, but there's loads of fun to be had this weekend... :)

Welcome to OtakuBoards, Kaimaster. While I applaud you for venturing into the auditions thread, in an attempt to create an RPG, the theatre has very specific rules and guidelines which all OB members must cohere to. [URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=58238"]CLICKE HERE[/URL] for the official rules. You're thread is missing both a sign-up sheet and some description of the RP and it's background story. For example, if someone were interested in your RP, they wouldn't know what kind of character to create because you didn't provide them with a sign-up sheet. (The could end up creating a 200 year-old alien from a foreign planet who possessed psychic powers since you didn't specify a background for the RP) I'm going to lock this thread for now, but after you've had a chance to look at the rules, please feel free to re-create your sign-up thread. I'm sure many OB members look forward to it. Thanks, ~D
