RPG OtakuBoards Survivor 4: Team Argo [E]

[Allamorph]

[FONT=Arial]Unless [COLOR=Blue]Tiana[/COLOR] wishes terribly to abdicate her position, I also am content.

Unfortunately, I am not content continue [COLOR=DarkOrange]Argo[/COLOR]'s current mediocre streak. (That sounds a little harsher than I meant it to....) Also unfortunately, Sandy's hint at the next challenge does not bode well for me; I am rather mediocre myself at lyrical pursuits (ha, that was almost a pun...wait...:animedepr) mainly because my writing style, which I assume you guys have now seen to be slightly sardonic and rather irreverent, does not lend itself well to poetry or song. My mechanics aren't bad, but I fear I'm much too cynical for such art. So unless Sandy just wanted to throw us completely off-track, which I doubt, then I am not looking forward to this challenge.

I will try, though. I always try.

Except tomatoes. I won't try those.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Well, I really thought that people would vote me off as team capitain, but alright... I'll stick it out for you guys. ;P

Anyway, ohh... the next challenge sounds so fun... except, I don't know what it is. Sorry for not being here for awhile... things going on.

EDIT: Okay guys, it seems like we have to come up with our own theme song... which is especially nifty. It sounds like a lot of fun, but this could take a lot of work from the three of us.

So, who would like to do what? Graphics I can handle, but song writing? I dunno...[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Allamorph]

[FONT=Arial]Yeah, sorry about that. I'm not really good with spotting edits. (V_V)

Okay, so now we need to pick a song to spoof. I am very much buggered today (spelling 'today' took four tries; both times), so my muse is only working part-time until further notice. Aside from that....
[quote name='Sandy][FONT=Century Gothic']...but I'd prefer a catchy if a bit short song to a longwinded ballad.[/FONT][/quote]
Which means we absolutely [I]have[/I] to use [I]"Bohemian Rhapsody"[/I].

I jest. Actually, I was thinking of [I]"Hotel California"[/I]...or not. :p

I need a nap. Perhaps I'll be able to be serious tonight. Until then, then.



[B][U]EDIT:[/U][/B] Okay, I can't just throw a post down without at least trying to say something useful. I know this might sound a bit off-the-wall, but what about using Green Day's [I]"Holiday"[/I]?

[B][U]EDIT2:[/U][/B] Then again, perhaps something a little shorter and easier to go all Wierd Al on would be in order.[/FONT]

[quote name='Allamorph][FONT=Arial]I know this might sound a bit off-the-wall, but what about using Green Day's [I]"Holiday"[/I']?[/FONT][/quote]
[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]
[SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Hmm... sounds interesting enough. I remember when I used to listen to that song all the time, it was catchy.

Well, that song takes my vote... unless someone wants to pick Billie Jean. :P

No, really. Billie Jean rulez.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Shy]

[size=1]My suggestion would be 'Eye of the Tiger,' which was the theme song for the Rocky movies. It's a very exciting song, and I have a few ideas for how we could play with the lyrics. While I'm a big Green Day fan, I think the trick here is to find the most ridiculous song we can and twist it in our favor.

Billie Jean isn't a bad idea. How about Y.M.C.A.? I'm only partially kidding... A-R-G-O!

[Allamorph]

[quote name='Shy][SIZE=1']How about Y.M.C.A.? I'm only partially kidding... A-R-G-O![/size][/quote]
[FONT=Arial][U]That[/U] would be extremely entertaining. And I am NOT kidding.

So whadddya think about that one, [COLOR=Blue]Tiana[/COLOR]?[/FONT]

[Riku]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Hmm... while all these song choices are really great, I'm going to have to go with B... I mean, Y.M.C.A. because it's a bit more catchy than the others and I'm postive that everyone here absolutely knows of that song. :D

You thought I was going to say my song choice, huh? Fuu fuu fuu fuu... >>

Anyway, alright, now that we've got that settled... deciding on words now, ne?[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Allamorph]

[FONT=Arial]It just occurred to to me: why is this event titled "[I]Smells[/I] Like Team Spirit"?

Strange choice of words....

Anyway, I have a really cheesy idea for the adaptation (but honestly, did you expect any less of me?) and I'll try to get some of it down later tonight after I finish some other essentials. Also, as I told [COLOR=Magenta]Sandy[/COLOR] in the main thread, I'll be completely out of commission starting Wednesday, probably until late Sunday evening. If you guys have anything specific in mind that you'd like to throw at me, tomorrow night's the last time I'll be able to do anything about it.[/FONT]

[Shy]

[size=1]Just PM your rough lyrics, and KW and I will work on them while you are away. My hope would be to finish these lyrics up as soon as possible, so is it alright if we post them before you come back?

-Shy[/size]

[Allamorph]

[FONT=Arial]But of course.[/FONT]

[Riku]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Really nice choice of words, Allamorph. It really looked as if you have something really spiffy to cook up a team song with.

I'm just saying, though... perhaps we could do something where we talk more about our team instead of others? I don't know, but it just seems like we're kind of cheering for others instead of just ourselves, yeah?

Anyway, you're helped us out a lot, Allamorph, so me and Shy will handle it from here.

Shy, I'll PM my part of the second chorus when I'm done with it. Also, what should the theme for our graphics be?

Please don't put anything too... weird... because then... I would be really scared. :P[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[FONT=Arial]Well, there's always the second verse....

And of course you can fiddle with my lines all you want: order, wording, deletions, additions, etc. You want to make my second stanza something different, then go right ahead. (I haven't got any copyrights, as far as I know. :animesmil)[/FONT]

[Shy]

[size=1]I'm working on revising the lyrics as well. This challenge is much more difficult than I expected, heh. I hope to have my semi-done lyrics PM'd tonight.

As for graphics, maybe something 70's-disco-ish?

-Shy[/size]

[Allamorph]

[QUOTE=Sandy][font=Century Gothic][B]Notice to all Teams:[/B] all team songs for this challenge must be completed [I][U]by the end of this week[/U][/I], the sooner the better.

[B]Also, I still haven't got a rundown on the progress of [COLOR=DarkOrange]Team Argo[/COLOR], so I just hope they're making some... :/[/B][/font][/QUOTE]
[FONT=Arial]Seriously, guys. What's going on? I've been getting kind of antsy over here, wondering if I need to do anything else (which would be stretching my time a bit, but eh), but I haven't heard anything from either of you for about a week, and [I]that[/I] post was almost a week again after we last talked. I mean, I can understand if stuff's happening and you can't do anything, but both of you have been on within the last two days; the least you guys could have done was to drop in and say something here.

Don't mean to sound snarky?it's just that there's not been that much in the way if intra-team communication. There's only one winner's spot this round, and if we want to stay intact....[/FONT]

[Shy]

[size=1]Apologies, I thought I had already sent out a PM to both of you with my lyrics. It's sent out now, though. Sorry about that.

-Shy[/size]

[Riku]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=1]Yes, I apologize for not interacting with you guys and how the graphics are going. I'm just so lazy to post anything and I can't really come up with anything great for lyrics as of now. :/

As for Shy's PM, that's really good and we should really use his version unless you also came up with something, Allamorph.

As for graphics, it's almost ready, just needs a few finishing touches and it'll be complete.

Come on, let's go, Team A- R- G- O! *congas behind the Village People*

EDIT: Anyway, wah- lah! I finished my graphic, so I hope it's all good. I went for a 70s Disco theme like you insisted, Shy, and I made the disco floor flash, so I think that's a plus, too. I was going to make the words do stuff, too, but I thought that would be a little too much... but, if you would like that, just tell me here and I can fix it!

Also, keep in mind that I do realize that it is pretty big... I can change it, if you both like.
[CENTER]
Anyway... HUUURRRRR IT IS!
[IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Artwork/User.gif[/IMG][/CENTER]

Hope it's to both of your liking. Oh! I also have another version that is non- moving and has the basic layout if you would like to compare between the two.

[CENTER][URL=http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Artwork/DISCO.png]ENTRAR TEH DISCO THEME HUURRR![/URL] [/CENTER]

I'd have to say, though... as for my two cents, the flashing one is a bit more interesting than the latter, but I have to admit, the plain one looks a bit more pro than the flashing. It's not a grainy and it's a little more better and easier on the eyes. I couldn't save the flashing as anything else but a .GIF, so... I hope that's alright.

Anyway, you guys give me your opinions on which one you'd rather have. And please tell me soon! Just because this has to be done by the end of the week and I don't know how busy I'll be what with work and all... so, vote now!

When you guys tell me, I'll edit everything and put the lyrics in there, so that you don't have to worry. As for the link, has anyone found any MIDI or song clip of YMCA? I'll have a hard time looking for that one, so I'm depending on you guys to work around that, kay? I love you both and our team so much, so let's band together and kick everyones butt, yeah?

Don't forget to tell me: which one you like, make it smaller, more flashy, less flashy, what to add... anything that will increase our chances of winning, alright?

LET'S GO, TEAM ARGO![/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[Shy]

[size=1]I love the flashing one, and I'll look into finding a MIDI version of YMCA for us. I'm glad everyone likes the lyrics, because honestly I felt pretty disappointed with how they turned out. There is plenty of room for tweaks and stuff, if that's neccessary.

-Shy[/size]

[Riku]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Hmm, I was wondering... I know Sandy specifically said in the OB Survivor 4 thread that these were due at the end of the week, but... what is the end of the week, technically? Today? Sunday?

I'm just freaking out a little because I don't know when it is and I have work today and won't be back on until later... do any of you guys know?

As for the link, Shy, do you have anything? I'm starting to put the lyrics on the graphics, but, that won't help unless we have some sort of music link...

Let's go, Team Argo! Time is precious and we don't want to lose just because we weren't on time!![/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Sandy]

Tiana, a week always ends to a Sunday. Don't they teach anything at school anymore? *rolls eyes melodramatically*

[Shy]

[size=1][url=http://perso.orange.fr/midinet/disco/ymca.mid]Here[/url] is a link to the MIDI, and [url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=eLU_mPE8k0Y]here[/url] is a link to the music video.

-Shy[/size]

[Riku]

[quote name='Sandy']Tiana, a week always ends to a Sunday. Don't they teach anything at school anymore? *rolls eyes melodramatically*[/quote]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Oh geez, Sandy, I totally forgot about that when I learned it in 1st grade. And as for the rolling of the eyes, that is definitely a sign that you love me. Yes, I know you do. ;]

As for the music link, Shy... I love you and you make me have orgasms with all the things you do around here. Really, you do, seriously. XD Anyway, I think the MIDI version will work better than the video because it would probably just distract people.

Okay, then, since no one has any complaints, I'll start working on our song and graphics, having it in by Sunday. Great work, guys, really, I actually have a feeling that we might win... but, since when will we not? :P

Any problems, just talk to me about it, 'kay?[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Allamorph]

[FONT=Arial]Figures. As soon, [I][U]as[/U] [U]soon[/U][/I] as I make some sort of rallying post, good-ole' Murphy smacks me upside the head and says, [B]"Yo, son. Remember my little Law? Yeah, it applies to you, too."[/B] And then everything goes bonkers. (I just need to make it to the end of April. May will fix everything....)

Right. I, too, like the flashy bg because, well, it's flashy. (EPILEPSY!!! :animesmil) If we lose here, then we're down to two members, so I'm all for going for broke.

[COLOR=Blue]Shy[/COLOR], thanks for the MIDI. And in regard to the lyrics: I think they're good, but since you don't seem to be satisfied, I'll look at what might be done and get back to you guys tonight.

Sorry for finking out there for a while. Stupid music department....[/FONT]

[Riku]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]And so, the awesome RP of the century now begins... it is our duty to keep posting and kick all the other members down. =]

Anyway, I have just posted, Shy, so whenever you feel like it (hopefully very soon), just post whatever you feel that goes along with it. If you want me to change anything, just tell me here and I will do it.

As for characters, I resided myself around [URL=http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Artwork/Warrior.jpg]this[/URL] sort of appearance, except my hair is dark brown and I use a Keyblade as a weapon, dur hur. =P

As for you, my dear, I resided yours as [URL=http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Artwork/Rei02.jpg]this[/URL] appearance. Hope that's okay, and if you want me to change the picture or anything, just tell me and I'll do it right away.

Not that you'd want to 'cause you'd be the hottest person in this RP, but moving on...

As for weapons and spells, I don't have any spells and my only weapon is the Keyblade. If you have anything important as of weapons and stuff, just post it here. As for moves, I'll be posting that later in the game.

Get a move on it, love, as how posting is probably limited and we don't know when Sandy is going to change the genre. He's probably off lurking somewhere and changing it already.

*shifts eyes all around*

EDIT- PS: Don't forget that we will have different themes, so you might want to put a little thought and pizzaz to your character or something.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Sandy]

[font=Century Gothic]Tiana and Shy, you are both part of the new [B]Team Sdraob[/B], so please move yourselves to that thread.

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Team Argo[/COLOR] is now officially done with.

*thread closed*[/font]
