[color=gray]Ah yes, now it works. I dont know what went wrong before neither... You know what I think of the background already, so I dont have to begin about that ^_^;; The text was not really an original fonts, not that I can blame you... My art never has original fonts... Anyhow, the poetry seemed like it was forced rhyming. If you really want to rhyme, rhyme without an actual rhytme, as long as it sounds cool xD So eh yeah... I guesse thats all I have to say[/color]

[color=gray]Err... Well I think you should use an other banner o-o;; This one is sort of simple, plain and MSpaintish. Doesn't really attract people I'd say. I don't know which program you use so I can't really tell how good it is, but it could atleast be less plain o-o;;.... I guesse you didnt do it with Paint because of all of the small color details I see. The white/orange stuff around the black blob in the middle doesnt look very well. You might want to do something else around it. Since the middle is kinda detailed and looks a little nice, and the white/orange stuff looks so plain... Ah well, keep working. You'll get something done.[/color]

[color=gray]I can't seem to find it o-o;; It just shows this bannerish thing about subscribtion and thats all... I don't think its supposed to be that right? Tell me if thats the poetry than ill edit this. ^_^;;[/color]

[color=gray]Oh man that was lame o-o;; In a good way though. Why was it so short? I wanted cptn Krunchy to say: George... I am your dinner... Eh yes... weh? Anyways. If you wouldve made it smaller it could be a banner. But I guesse you already have one which you use for your secret plans to take over Otaku[b]Boards[/b] from out a secret base you will name the Game Making Forum, which is very sneaky of yours... Blegh? :< -Another intelligent post by the one and only Boo.[/color]

[color=gray]You put the style you used lately which no one liked, better in this graphic. It now looks like something leonardo da vinci would make, but then with a fancy background xD The technical thingy to the right though, could have some bits taken out of the lines so it fits the rest some more. Ah well. Nice job Energy formed by movement :< (I took DW's smiley buhehe *cough*)[/color]

[color=gray]Here ya go Vickeh. A banner fresh off the press ^_^;; The rest what should be in this post will be on MSN lol.[/color] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18322[/IMG]

[color=gray]Just wanted to let people know, if someone is near me, like Belthaczaar was, I accompanied him. Since later one, we'll have to get out of Graten with the group. So remember. We need to get out of the castle by using a decoy, not by just defeating the whole army by ourself because we have these omg such kewl super powers which can take over the world but we dont cause we fight for the good side blah blah blah lol. Have fun in the RP everyone ^_~ ::EDIT:: I see we dont have any mage left so i'll make a second character. [b]Name:[/b] Xotfou Moonblaze [b]Age:[/b] 93 [b]Race:[/b] mage [b]Weapons:[/b] -Kiting, a rod based on the power of the wind. [b]Magic:[/b] -Moonblaze, a power which exists for centuries in his family. Xotfou doesnt control it fully yet. -Angel wing, magic with the power of light, to heal wounds and infections. -Illumina cloud, fire magic. The user of the magic will concentrate his power to create a fiery ball and shoot it away. It causes fire energy damage, so it wont effect your cloths [i]really[/i] badly. [b]Appearance:[/b] Your average mage. A grey beard and a white robe. But instead of a pointy hat, he has something that looks more like a sleeping hat. Underneath this outfit he wears equipment a mail, made from the same steel as Nodotam's sword. [b]Biography:[/b] This is a sort of mysterious character. His biography will come while playing. [/color]

[size=1][color=gray][i]"Just two streets further and then I can sleep." This thought went through Nodotam's head and echoed on for almost a minute. He could hardly walk, because of how tired he was. First he had spend the whole morning running around through the city, sending messages to certain people. Then he went off to the woods to get some timber. And the drop that made the water spill, was when he was just about to rest, he had to run for his life, leterally. He just went around the corner that leaded into his street, when he bumped up to someone. The man took his hand, before Nodotam could lose his balance. Nodotam looked up to the man who grabbed him. But he was surprised to see it was barely a child. Probably around the age of 16 or 15 or something in that directions. He let out a "thanks" and was about to walk on, when he saw that the boy was atleast as tired as he was himself. The cloths he was wearing didn't look very fresh either. So Nodotam decided to be polite.[/i] "You seem exausted. Do you have a place to sleep?" "Well, I don't know... Not really I guesse." The boy said, on a questioning voice. "Well then. Do you need one?" "I could use one, yes." "Then I invite you to my place. I believe you just passed it. Its the house over there." Nodotam pointed over the boys shoulder to a big house. This whole part of town had big houses... "But... You should tell me your name first. Else I can't wake you up in the morning." He grinned to show he was kidding. "My name is Baalthaczaar, nice to meet you." "And my name is Nodotam, nice to meet you too. Now come, because I'm exausting aswell." He grinned again, so did Baalthaczaar. [I]Strange really... Nodotam almost never smiled, let stand grin, since the day he lost his parents. Oh well, thats only positive isnt it? As they reached the house, Nodotam explained Baalthaczaar that he could sleep in his own room and that he would sleep in the rooms once owned by his parents. After that, they went to sleep. Both of them awoke under a huge noice. It was the alarm clock. The city was under attack! They dressed up quickly and went to the city wall. But when they were coming closer they decided to go in the church tower instead. If else, they could get wounded by catapult rocks or arrows. When they looked out of the top window, they saw this humangous stream of monsters walking towards the city walls while being constantly fired on by the archers on the walls. The creatures who got up the wall were pushed off and the flying creatures shot down. After a few hours, the Recrudesence gave up and started setting up their camp at the foot of the hill. They would wait for the next dawn to strike once more. [/I][/color][/size]

[color=gray]The first banner is nice for a first ever, but it aint great. You didn't take the time to take away the edges ( -) around the black and white one, which doesn't even fit in either lol. A plus point is that you already use transparancy, but a minor is that the picture below it is still not to be seen since its hidden away completely behind the asuka. But she fits with the bg Asuke shouldve been placed higher than she is. The text is small, hard to read and misplaced. I would give it a 6 just because its a first. The second banner however. When someone says: Don't clutter it with anime figures, it doesn't mean you have to make it plain lol. The girl is very pixely. Perhaps the original picture was good quality but when you lowered the size it looked crappy. The border is way to thick. make it one pixel instead. The bg is plain, one color. And the text seems to fall away on it at some parts. this one ill give a 4½ because you took the advice not to make it too cluttered. Keep taking advices and tips should be the key to become "teh man in graphics". And ofcourse hellalot of practice lol. [/color]

[color=gray]I really don't like your new style... It looks so... Blegh... Not cool lol. Of course it's just a matter of taste, but its like you spend no time at it at all. The blue(purple) is just one color blue(purple), as goes for the other colors. Put a fancy BG behind it and a few lines through it and its done. I'm sure you spend more time on it than I just said, but well yeah. This is what I think it looks like o-o;;[/color]

[color=gray][size=1] [i]Though, the magi had found ancients scrolls about Luna. It seemed that Luna was connected to the Earth with a diamond, forged into a shield. Who has this shield could control the powers of Luna by his will. But the shield had lost in eternity, out of the reach of the human or magi kind. And even though it was the dwarfs who had forged the shield, not even they had reach to it, and if they had, where could you find one? The only solution left could be the unicorns. The unicorns, also known as the creature of light. But then they had to find one. So the kingdom send out some soldiers for a decoy, so that a few warriors, could start their search in the magic woods in the south.[/i] [b]And now our story begins where the Recrudescence have almost reached Graten...[/b] [i]The wind whispered softly passed Nodotam's ear. He breathed in the fresh air around him. This was ideal. Blue skies, green fields, the sun shining bright... But the ideal landscape was being torn apart. From out of nowhere, hundreds of people came running up the hill. Screaming while fear stalked their eyes. Nodotam stood up and ran up to the people. He looked down the hill. There, a wave of creatures came running after the people. But they were far. Suddenly the front part of the wave held still while the rest kept running up the hill. Before anyone knew what was going on, a rain of arrows was shot from the front part of the wave, which now continued their walk and the back part stopped to ready their bows. The arrows, just going down again, didn't hit much target, but if the people didn't hurry up with climbing, the next rain would be more precise. Two children were crying, on the ground. Nodotam picked them up without thinking about it, and ran up the hill. He didn't notice how far he had run down when he went to look at the creatures just now. The second rain of arrows fell down on the people and this time took down atleast twice as much as last time. Some people tried to drag other people, dead or halfdead, along, but then someone would warn him or her not to do it and they let them go, to save their own hide. Finally they reached the top of the hill. Just go down the hill and a few hundred meters forward over the flat land and they would reach Graten... The doors closed behind them as the last one of them entered the city. After the second rain of arrows there came another two, which took out almost one-fourth of the whole group. But now they were save. Or at least, for a while. Everyone knew the city would have to fall aswell one day, but for now they wanted to act like the town was indestructable or at least, unovertakeable. Nodotam had put down the children who emmidiatelly ran off to search their mother and/or father. One of them soon found out her mother was still outside of the gates, so she went to them and bashed on them as hard as she could, whilst crying. Nodotam tried to cool her off before her hands would be tore open. The girl went to her father who was just running towards them. Both, the father and daughter, were crying because of the loss of their wife or mother. Nodotam ran to the pond and then saw how bad he looked. No wonder after falling and standing up the whole time. After running his legs off his body. After having to duck for arrows four times. He washed his face and then searched for his house, once owned by his parents who already have died in the war. The only thing he wanted to do now was sleep... And long. [/i] [/size][/color]

[color=gray]Good sign-ups everyone ^_^ So... Well yes, not many people seem to be joining this RP and tomorrow is saturday, which means I have time to post long posts, so ill be posting the thread now, while the Recruitment goes on.[/color]

[color=gray]I really don't think this thread will be open long. Probably because it is counted as spam, since most people wont even critisize a sig/avy but just rate them, and because it makes no sense to rate some people more than once, unless they keep changing it. Well thats basically why it aint allow, Perhaps if it would have rules which include atleast the "constructive critisme" rule ^_~[/color]

[color=gray]The quality of the pictures is terrible. Do not save them on MSpaint as GIF. That screws up color. Secondly, it could use a border. And thats it for the beginning heh. I guesse because its your first banner/avy set, that it aint bad, but well, with saying "OmG t3h 4M4z1nGn3z" you will never improve ^_^[/color]

[color=gray]You made it pretty hard to make a good banner -__- Now I don't know if you like Gundam or not but it was one of the only anime pics my PC can open lol. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18256[/img][/color]

[color=gray]Nice sign-up and I'm glad you like the title ^_^;; I will post my own sign-up now: [b]Name:[/b] Nodotam Suornoci [b]Age:[/b] 21 [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Weapons:[/b] Oblivian, a blade, once owned by his father, but when his parents had joined the battle, just a few days later Nodotam got message that his Parents had fallen in combat. Together with the message came Oblivian. The blade is like 4 feet long and [b]Magic:[/b] --- [b]Appearance:[/b] He wears a black armor with red in it. The same colors are his helmet with a few spikes on it, his legs and his boots. The material it was made from is light although he doesnt know what material. His hair reaches a few centimeters passed his shoulders and a scar is formed on his cheak. [b]Biography:[/b] Even though he's son of a mage and a soldier, he isn't able to use magic. His father trained him as a soldier and his mother didn't want to teach him Magic. It requires to much of a person to do it, especially when the person isn't one hundred percent Mage. His father died in the same battle as his mother, like I said before. Right before they went into battle, they told Nodotam about the Luna crystal and the unicorns. And that when they passed away, he had to search for it, or atleast, try to do so. So thats pretty much the reason why he is trying to obtain the shield and its so short because I can't write bio's lol.[/color]

[size=1][color=gray][i]The world was going up in flames. Everywhere you looked the flames were taking over buildings, trees and whatnot. There was no escaping from it. No where to run, nowhere to hide. A female soldier running over the street to a child, while the flames scorched her face and clothes, was beind shot at from all sides. In the flash of a second, her legs collapsed under the pain an arrow caused, sticking in her right leg. While trying to stand up, a second and a third arrow hitted her in her back. A small while she kept shaking but eventually the body stopped moving. The child, running away, was caught in a net, coming out of nowhere. It cried as hard as it could, but what could it help? After just a little while, there was no sense of living left in the village among the grown ups and all the children had been caught, if they have not been burned alive. The attackers, all spread their wings and flew off, carrying the nets. The ones who did not have wings, barged through the gate, to a place no one knew even existing. But this wasnt the only raid. In just a month, four kingdoms had been overtaken by the incredible force, always appearing and disappearing without leaving a trail to where they come from. The bravest kings and knights had fallen to the force, naming itself the Recrudescence of Luna. Why they are called like that, no one knows, some say they worship Luna, others say its because they always strike at night and even others say its because they are creatures from the moon. But overall most people dont even bother about it, they need all of their time to pack their stuff and flee to another kingdom. The kingdom in the East, known as the unovertakeable kingdom of Graten had been taken over for the half already. In the capital of this kingdom, the tribe of the magi is located. This tribe, dedicating its life to magic and scholarship, was investigating where these monsters came from. They had all come to one conclusion, the power of the Recrudescence of Luna, was lying in Luna herself. But how could anyone do something about the creatures, if their source was lying in the moon? After a few weeks, the whole kingdom was taken except for the capital. No one could get out of the city, surrounded by monsters. All the children who escaped from their destiny by fleeing to the city of the many pretty tales, were now trapped, to face their terrible destiny once again. Though, the magi had found ancients scrolls about Luna. It seemed that Luna was connected to the Earth with a diamond, forged into a shield. Who has this shield could control the powers of Luna by his will. But the shield had lost in eternity, out of the reach of the human or magi kind. And even though it was the dwarfs who had forged the shield, not even they had reach to it, and if they had, where could you find one? The only solution left could be the unicorns. The unicorns, also known as the creature of light. But then they had to find one. So the kingdom send out some soldiers for a decoy, so that a few warriors, could start their search in the magic woods in the south.[/i] There is where the storyline ends and the real story begins. You are the ones who have to find the unicorns and then the shield. This does not mean you cant be a person from somewhere else than out of the Capital of Graten, but it would be nice if you would be. Only if you are a mage, you may be old, the warriors are young, barely grown up. These are children who escaped from the Recrudescence of Luna. Here is the sign-up sheet: [b]Name:[/b] [b]Age:[/b] (not anything overaged) [b]Race:[/b] (Human or mage) [b]Weapons:[/b] (mage's use staff's and rod's) [b]Magic:[/b] (for mage's only and only 3 spells max.) [b]Appearance:[/b] [b]Biography:[/b] [/color][/size]

[color=gray]Long RP posts are always nice (when they are good quality ofcourse lol). A bio is good when its big, but it shouldnt get huge. Its better just to birefly give the characters past, instead of giving a whole story to it. Think of it as a storyline and not a story ^_^;; But I disagree that the long post writer is at fault. (S)He just wants to give a good storyline to his character. The other complaints about it, which by the way shouldve been by PM, not in the thread. Anyhow. You shouldnt challenge someone and then tell the person his/her Bio is too long. What is wrong with a long bio? o.O[/color]

[color=gray]An avater is the small picture in the top right of your post ^_~ This is more bannerish. Anyways... You used a cool picture and the white text is cool. Its just the text with the white edge and the transparent center that doesnt look right. Keep it at one of the two fonts, filled or empty. The border isnt placed really right and it could use a black one aswell. The blocks in the upper right corner are a nice touch. For a pain banner this is really nice. But to use it here, you should resize it a bit ^_^[/color]

[QUOTE=Radaghast][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Garamond]Is the goal of Hinduism enlightenment? I thought that was only Buddhism. Do we have any Hindu members that could confirm? Though I don't think your' karma has any direct effect of reaching enlightenment other than how you are reincarnated. Meditation is how you reach enlightenment. As well as seeing the illusion that the world is, you see how pointless the suffering that we cause is when you reach enlightenment. I thought there was something similar when I watched the Matrix movies between the flick and Buddhism. [/FONT] [/COLOR] [/SIZE][/QUOTE] [color=gray][size=1]Well I didnt remember it too well how they called it in hinduisme. But it was something like elightment. Where you see the truth or something lol. My teacher called Karma a list. A list of bad things and good things. Later he explaint it with a glass which he had filled up with pieces of paper. But now I type this, I come to think that it was somewhat like the Buddhisme, to reach enlightment. When you reached the point where you have identified all your bad points and weaknesses... Oh well... And to Winter. That what you say, ofcourse, is your point of view. Satan was not free to roam the earth or anything. If he was, why would (ex.) Jesus do the trouble to save a man who was outcasted because he was controlled by demons, at all? He wouldnt have let them roam the earth if he after that, does all the trouble to save humanity from satan after that would he? He confronted god near heaven when Jesus went away from the Earth. And the part of what Satan looks like depends on the person. People just say he's carrying a pitchfork and looks ugly to show how evil he is. You might think hes not, a lot of people think he is. And by the way. You arent a messiah when you rebel against a great force. Its the same mistake that people make when they are praising Che (the cuba rebel). Just because he is a rebel doesnt make him a good person. He had slaughtered many of people, but still hes a freedom fighter *cough*. In short, its a matter of opinion ^_^;; [/color][/size]

[quote name='Haze][color=indigo']You wanted those "Gundam Something's" fixed? I did it for you. ^^ [/color][/quote] [color=gray]thanks a lot chubby, I editted a line in my post ^_^;;[/color]

[color=gray]Oh wow, rikku is still alive o.O;; Anyways. Really the worst thing about electronica is, that you buy a digital camera, you walk out of the shop and suddenly its 100 $ less lol. The same is with Video cards. You've got a *commercial censore* 4 and when you spin around there is a *commercial censore* 4 TI for the half of the price. That really annoys me T.T My PC is stinky and I got it in like eh... 1998 lol. It is malfunctioning like every hour but as long as it does its purpose its ok ^_~[/color]

[color=gray]I have this strange power which works negative on me, that I always seem to miss the schoolplays and musicals. I skipped school right before we had the "school play" year lol. Also the last 2 years my class was skipped for school plays. Of course my class didnt mind, but I love acting ^_^;; But my brother and sister have both done a few school plays. My brother like 5 now I think.. could be 6. (and that times 2 cause some were 3 evenings aftereachother lol) So thats my School Play/musical experience tada[/color]

[color=gray][quote]About the Hindu reincarnation. Don't they have the caste system? If so, hell could be interprited as being an untouchable and then moving up the caste, highest I believe is being a religous leader. So it isin't a wealth thing. You could be a homeless person and still have better karma than a high-ranking member of society (money-wise high ranking). [/quote] With wealth I more likely meant how high you stand above the normal people. So I didnt actually meant with money or anything, I just couldnt find the word ^_^;; What I really thought was the best thing of the Hindu lessons was the part of the enlightment or something. When your karma is totally cleaned, you can see the real world instead of the fakish world we live in (something like that). The matrix is based on that cause the creator was a hindu aswell. But before we (the class) knew that, everyone began talking about the matrix all of a sudden lol. I got a B+ or something for the hindu chapter T.T[/color]

[color=gray]Yup, it looks better already ^_^ The picture is a lot smoother then the last one and the text looks better than before. Still it needs a border :rolleyes: lol[/color]
