Exactly. So why make the comment towards Byte at all? You obviously were pretty annoyed at him, but why take it that seriously? :huh:

I wasn't annoyed. I'm sorry if it read that way but I was far from annoyed, I just thought the time he was taking to post 'I can't think of anything' could be used to ya know, think of something.
 
I reckon everyone needs to chill out and relax a little here.

First of all, Galllagher wasn't trying to be overtly hostile and was merely stating an opinion, which was a fair to be honest. He was making a very valid point. The same point was also brought up recently by someone in the DC WoH OOC; Why play/pick up a character that you can't write/have no ideas for?

Yeah, we poke fun at stuff and at each other, but never with any genuine malice. Folks like Byte, Chen and other newbs are always welcome. Hell, I recently approved Sabretoonth in the All-Star game with a sub-par app, but gave him a list of pointers to bear in mind whilst posting. I tried to do similar (though in sterner fashion) with Chen here, last week. Yeah, the games are in dire need of fresh blood, and in turn, the new players need teaching and nurturing. But if a player is going to barrell in with no thought, care, consideration or knowledge of what every other player has (often) painstakingly created, then it can be expected that they'll be pulled up on it.

You made some good and genuine points in your post there Keys, but I think piling Gallaghers post in with the bullying ways of folks from the past was a little harsh and unnecessary.

I respect your opinion, Op, and I'm sorry if you think I went overboard in my response to Gallagher. But I think you know - from other places as well as this one - that s*** like this is like a red rag to a bull for me.

Yeah I know mate. Hell, we should bring Morrigan over here and let her and Byrd get to know each other LOL.
 
I....really have nothing to say.....you bastards have said it all. :cmad:

But yeah, chill the **** down and realize it's a game. I may not be the head-knocker I once was, but I can still be a major league *******.
 
Finally came up with a decent fight for Deadpool.

Now how the **** will I deal with Wendigo? Any ideas?

You don't need our direction, SpiderByte. Have fun with it. Think, "What would Deadpool do?" Part of the fun of the game is creating situations for the characters, and getting to decide what they do. Why remove that fun by using someone else's idea? Try coming up with your own fight, you'll enjoy yourself a lot more - I look forward to reading what you come up with. :cwink:

This.
 
One bit of advice I would give, if you're having trouble, is try and read how different people around here write fight scenes and understand how back n' forth action makes it interesting. I'm not saying copy any sort of template, but just to get the general feel of how to effectively write one if that's where your trouble lies.
 
Second character time! With Watchman's okay and approval

MARVEL RPG SEASON VII Application

Screen Name: Byrd Man

Character you would like to play: Tony Stark/Iron Man

Powers: Tony Stark is a genius with all kinds of cool smarts. As Iron Man, he as all kinds of cool powers and strength!

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. Watchman put a gun to my head.

2. Seriously, he did.

3. Naah, Iron Man is an interesting character who I've never had the chance to play.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: I can bring a decent enough RPer with almost four years experience in the RPGs (Time flies when you're pissed off.) I can also bring beer, non-alcoholic...sorry. :csad:

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Much as needed.

Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):

Salt Lake Flats

"Alright, Rodney," I say to the Stark Technologies engineer. "Where are we on the ST-23?"

"It's topping out at Mach 3."

I run my hands down the side of the jet, shaking my head.

"Not good enough. Compress the flaps as much as possible, I want as little wind resistance as possible. Also, can we get these rivets any more flush?"

"We haven't really-"

"Counter-bore them if you need to. I want flush rivets on this thing, with the compressed flaps. You do that, it'll break Mach 4."

"Yes, sir."

The blackberry on my hip buzzes.

"Go for Stark."

"I hate to be a bother," comes Jarvis' rather dry reply.

"But it does seem Fing Fang Foom is tearing up Las Vegas."

"I'm on my way."



*******

Halfway between Vegas and Salt Lake, I hit the armor's HUD and shift through all the information.

CNN is running live coverage of the dragon's rampage through Las Vegas, MSNBC announces that Stark Enterprises stock is at an all time high, and Pepper sends me an email about an upcoming charity ball I'm hosting.

Just one more thing to do before I take on the dragon. I gotta update my Twitter.

I fly towards Fing Fang Foom at roughly twice the speed of sound.

"Okay, big boy."

"Open wide and say ahh!"

Screen Name: Spike_x1

Character you would like to play: Dr. Robert Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk

Powers: Genius intellect beyond the measure of any IQ test as Dr. Banner. Superhuman strength, stamina, durability, and healing factor as the Hulk.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1.
He is my favorite Marvel superhero.

2. Banner's wacky psychology is very fun and interesting to explore and craft stories around.

3. I left the character in a very bad place when I stopped posting as him, and--if nothing else--I feel the need to at least finish telling the Red Hulk story.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG:

I can bring back a character who should be a strong presence in the Marvel Universe, even if he is often looming in the background and isolated from other events. I'd also like to explore the more vulnerable sides of Hulk, and make Banner and Hulk more equal in value by presenting situations where intelligence is needed more than brute strength.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG:

Once or twice, depending on the current pace of the game. More if the situation calls for it.

Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):

Taking place while Banner and Doc Samson are using hypnosis to search Bruce's subconscious for the artificially induced Red Hulk personality:
Bruce2.jpg

It's so dark in here. I can't see a thing, assuming that there's actually anything to see. I've been here before, both with and without Leonard's help. To regress deep inside oneself, where very few people have experienced such a journey, it seems to have almost become expected of me to do it occasionally.

I know from past experience that there are certain... things hidden in my subconscious that are always seeking a way out; a new crack of light shining on their faces that they've never had before. However, Len and I aren't interested in them this time. Today we're searching for an anomaly of the Rulk variety.

[BLACKOUT]~Bruce? Can you hear me, Bruce?~[/BLACKOUT]

Samson's voice echoes in the distance around me. In the real world, I'm simply lying on the couch in the motel room, while he's sitting across from me and guiding me through the hypnosis.

"I hear you Len."

[BLACKOUT]~Now, tell me what you see.~[/BLACKOUT] His voice is getting louder as we establish a better connection between the conscious and unconscious that I'm in right now.

"It's just blackness around me as far as I can see. Even the cave is gone." I can almost picture Samson stroking his chin as he considers what this could possibly mean. "And wouldn't you know it? Even in my mind's eye, I'm still only dressed in torn purple pants."

Bruce-1.jpg

[BLACKOUT]"So, Puny Banner has come hunting for me, eh?"[/BLACKOUT] A deep voice calls out from the darkness, sounding much like the Hulk, but more sinister in tone.

[BLACKOUT]~Bruce, what was that? Bruce! Answer me!~[/BLACKOUT]

[BLACKOUT]"You can't answer him, can you? You've known what am I all along, haven't you?"[/BLACKOUT]

I have.

[BLACKOUT]"You simply haven't been able to admit the possibility to yourself--that I've been able to turn your own body and mind against you, even from beyond the grave."[/BLACKOUT] As the voice of the Red Hulk changes into one of terrifying familiarity, the form of my enemy reveals itself from the shadows, confident as he's ever been, even in spite of the small setback of having been dead for years.

Welcome back, brother. Approved.
 
MichaelChen, do you think you'll be able to get a reply up soon? If there's nothing within the next day or so, I may have to just bunny you to keep things moving forward.
