[color=darkblue][size=1] Auron had entered the dark corridor leading to the king's throne room. He crept along the walls like a shark through the coral, with great caution. His bow ready, he would stike at any moment. He reached the door. The door was enchanting. A mix of valuable metals and gems, crafted with great hands. He thrust it open, drawing an arrow. Inside was darkened, the only light being the moon. There were no guards, but one man sitting in the throne. He was a tall man, with black hair and a smug face. "Malius." "Auron? I expected as much," replied Malius. "Where are the guards?" Auron asked, thinking little of the king. "I. . .rid them from this world." he replied. "There's no way a man like you could kill those hundreds of men!" Auron spat. "You're a fool," Malius said, standing up. He threw out his hand, Auron flying back into the wall. The stones glimmered in the moonlight, sitting in the middle of the room. [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Thanks, and I got a summoned skull, but only have curse of dragon left out of those 3, I got another Neo for a Battle Ox, I also got a Whiptail Crow, but can't remember what I traded. Another thing I got is a magic card (name eluding me) that sends the top card in their deck to the graveyard every time they attack. It's been coming in handy :) [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Thanks a ton Hypershadow :) I'm just going to take my time to find the cards you are talking about now. [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] I just went through my deck, and it was ridiculous how many cards I didn't need. I still have a little mixture (mostly dark, though), and have 5 sacrifice cards, hoping to trade a few of my cards for 2 summoned skulls. Here's my current deck: [b]Monster Cards 5+[/b] BEWD Suijin Swordstalker Dark Magician Judge Man Curse of Dragon [b]Monster Cards 4-[/b] Ryu-Kishin Powered x3 La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp x2 Castle of Dark Illusions (because of the defense) Mystical Elf (once again, defense) Battle Ox Neo the Magic Swordsman Princess of Tsurgi Man-Eater Bug Koumori Dragon [b]Magic Cards[/b] Paralyzing Potion x2 Share the Pain x2 Monster Reborn Tribute to the Doomed Remove Trap Dark Hole Yami (probably taking out) Ookazi Fissure Change of Heart (not sure about this) Sword of the Deep Seated Book of Secret Arts (probably taking out) [b]Trap Cards[/b] Trap Hole x3 Reverse Trap x3 Castle Walls x2 Reinforcements x2 Just Desserts Dragon Capture Jar Waboku ------------------ Most of my magic cards (if I take out the spellcaster power raising cards) are monster removal, and my traps are still mixed, as well as monsters, but I think it's a little better. Any other revisions? BTW: Thanks for all of the help :) [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] That, and another thing, is that it could be your "sent messages". Unless you already knew about that. [/color][/size]

[COLOR=DARKBLUE][SIZE=1] Thanks, and I have 7 tools of the bandit, but I didn't think 1,000 life points was worth it. I'm also trying to trade for Summoned Skull. Thanks for the advice :) [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Lol, some of my favorites are the ones where he dresses up as a snowman and when this old lady walked by, he threw a snowball and went back to his position. It was hillarious. Another one they did with the snowman, some group of people were standing and staring at it, then he throws his arms up and starts sobbing, lol, even the adults jumped back. Another one is the one where a guy dresses up in a trench coat carrying a suitcase and sits on a bench away from someone and slides the suitcase toward them while saying something like: "The chicken is in the bag." "What?" "The [i]chicken[/i] is in [i]the bag[/i]." And he walks off. :laugh: I love it. By the way, I think it's on Wednesday, but I'm not sure. [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] I agree with MathGuy2. I was thinking: [/size] [b]Pyro[/b][size=1] Otaku (formerly Aries) [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] It said in the announcement that there are some features that stil aren't up, and that's one. If I remember right, I believe it will allow you to change your name twice, and there will be a feature that lets you change the capitalization in your name. This is just how I remember it. [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Has anyone heard of this? It's the best show ever! It comes on late at night on Comedy Central, and it's just some guys taking a hidden camera around and freaking people out. Like the joke in Darkmoon's thread about the top ten ways to freak a roommate out, the #1 would be something they would do: Start talking back to your rice crispies, act offended and throw the bowl on the floor, then walk away and when they want you to clean it up, explain that you want to see them suffer. Lol, they do all kinds of things like that. Anyone like this show? [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Hi, I was just wondering if anyone who is really good at duel monsters could help me with my deck. It is really mixed, due to the fact that I don't have enough of one type of card. I'm thinking about doing a dark beatdown deck, sort of like what Altron put together, but I don't know. Here are my cards: [b]Sacrifice Monsters:[/b] 2 Pumpkin The King of Ghosts (probably going to trade) Judge Man Gaia The Fierce Knight Dark Magician Rude Kaiser (probably going to trade) Gyakutenno Megami (definately need to trade, it's fairy) Flame Cerebrus (probably trading, fire) Curse of Dragon Suijin (probably going to trade for BEWD or very strong dark card) Swordstalker BEWD [b]4 star- monsters[/b] Mystical Elf 2 Blue-Winged Crown (probably trading, winged-beast) 3 Ryu-Kishin Powered Koumori Dragon Skull Red Bird (probably trading, winged-beast) 2 La Jinn The Mystical Genie Of The Lamp Battle Ox (probably trading, beast-warrior) Princess of Tsurgi (wind, probably trading) Man-Eater Bug Ancient Elf Castle of Dark Illusions 2 Mystic Clown The Stern Mystic Neo the Magic Swordsman Kojikocy (probably trading) Sorcerer of the Doomed [b]Magic Cards[/b] 2 De-Spell 2 Paralyzing Potion 2 Share the Pain The Cheerful Coffin Book of Secret Arts Fissure Tribute to the Doomed Yami Dark Hole Card Destruction Change of Heart Ookazi Monster Reborn Remove Trap Sword of Deep-Seated [b]Trap Cards[/b] 2 Ultimate Offering 2 Reverse Trap 2 Reinforcements 3 Trap Hole 2 Castle Walls Waboku Dragon Capture Jar Just Desserts -------------------- As you can see, very mixed and poor. What should I do, oh great ones? :p [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Hahahahah, that's freaking hillarious. I especially liked 1,6,7 and 9, mostly 1. That's something I would definately do. [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Good, but the banner you are using is better. It's good quality with a good background, but ou should have done the quote in English. (not that I don't understand it, I do, but more people would understand English, in my personal opinion). Good job :) [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] They are great, and the eyes are good as well, but the only thing I see lacking is hands. The only other thing is on the last page, below the waist is deformed, but other than that, they are amazing :) Especially the wings on the last one. [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] There is no way I would shave my head. I've been growing my hair out for a while now, and it's growing slowly, but it's taken so long that I'm not giving up. I'm going to grow it out long, part it down the middle, with a pony tail of just the back hair, and streak it blue probably. [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Auron noticed Relee using telepathy. This didn't make him brake his concentration, however. Elsyan raised her bow. "I can get him in one shot," she thought. She drew an arrow, taking aim. She shot, Auron dodging, and the bullet grazing Mara's side. He drew his sword, deflecting an arrow. He ran toward Kain, engaging in combat once more. It had come down to this. Suddenly, Auron remembered why he had come here, for the King's stones. He thrusted Kain back, escaping swiftly to the King's quarters. "There haven't been any guards lately. Something is happening," he thought. [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] They are all good, but I like your current one the most. That guy is just wicked :) You should put a border around it though. [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Hmm. . .this should be interesting. . . --------------------------------- They were warped into a tunnel of a man's past memory. The experience was nausiating, making Auron sick. Watching these memories was awful, his head was spinning, while he cried over the deaths of his parents. Mara watched him as she watched the memories. She spat remarks toward him. He tried to defeat her, his mind struggled, trying to escape this dimension. He clutched the back of his head, concentrating on getting into her head. He had failed, and was sentenced to remaining in this past, this hell. He weapt. The tears were trickling down his face, creating a puddle and a new ripple for each one that fell. He watched as his parents were killed, seperately, at different times in his life. He watched as he escaped into the forest, living in poverty for much of his life. The pain he felt was immense. He screamed in pain. It was, in his and her mind, pathetic. What a pitiful being. He did not deserve to live. He didn't deserve to die, either. The only thing that would suit him would be continuous torture, physically and mentally. This man was dead, yet he was alive. He could see, yet he was blind. Blind to the feelings of other people. Selfishly blinded, caring only about himself. The ripples were like his mind seeping out from his mind. His emotions ran wild. She had ruined what was left of this pitiful man. . .he wasn't a man. . .she had only ruined what was left of an animal, if he even deserved that title. He screamed. He raised his head toward the sky, and collapsed, back in the stone room that had begun in. She left him there, in his own pool of tears and blood. She left him. . . [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Lol, I can read it fine, maybe it's just my monitor. . . Anyway, the background in the first one is amazing, I just had to note that. I like the second one more, though, because I hate that first picture of Auron, only because of the orange glow. Where'd you get the pic in the 2nd one?! I can't find good Auron pics. [/color][/size]

Thanks Piro. Plus, I'd use the tools, if I knew how to create something good :p To Juu, what do you mean by adding gifs? I didn't add any gifs. . .the characters, I just paste, and take out the background with the eraser and magic wand.

[color=darkblue][size=1] Lol, I'd be more afraid of insulting the amazing GinnyLyn, heheh. Thanks for the compliment, though. I do agree, they don't go very well with the background, well, not the one on the right, but I think I can make them stand out a little more ::goes and experiments:: [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Yep, it's working, and looking great :) E D I T: Nevermind, it's broken now :( [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Very nice. My favorite thing is how you took the images several times, and misplaced it, making it transparent. The bar fading away was a good effect as well, and the text for Woolong Central looks 3d, very nice. [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Auron stopped dead in his tracks. "I accept your challenge, [i]time mage[/i]. You have no offensive power as it is," Auron said, now remembering the fire (OOC: Or water maybe, remind me) element she wore. His eyes widened, knowing that he would be annihalated if he were to fight her. He turned around, drawing his katana. "One question," Mara said, still feeling hatred in her heart. "What is your reason? Why have you harmed all of these people. With your attitude, you couldn't be insane, you are, however, a pitiful being." "My purpose. . ." Auron replied. "I have no purpose. I have no purpose in life, and all I want is revenge for my past." "Nothing could be that bad, to seek revenge by ruining the lives of all people," Mara said, raising her hand, revealing the stone. The hatred welled up inside of her. She could barely contain herself. The anger pulsing through her body was unbearable. In an instant, the fire from the stone rushed at Auron. He raised his katana, in hopes to reflect it, but within mere seconds, the blade shattered, leaving Auron at the mercy of Mara. The barrage stopped, leaving a singed Auron on the ground. "You are truly pathetic," Mara said. "At least I have found my purpose in life. . ." Auron replied. "To destroy you and those pathetic companions of yours." With this, Auron stood up, drawing his long-sword. He rushed at Mara, only to be stopped by the fire once more. "That effect cannot work forever," Auron said, the insanity showing in his eyes. Auron stood, trying to withstand the flames, while shielding his face. [/color][/size]

[color=darkblue][size=1] Well, as the title suggests, I've made a new banner. The background is a simple effect with filters, naturally, that my friend told me about. Also a couple of things I added to it, besides pictures and text.Do you think it's better than my current one? [img]http://otacon.250free.com/geh.jpg[/img] [/color][/size]
