*blink* ..my eyes must deceive me. Going to NY ...hooray! Leaving the site after for possible good...NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! (Luke Skywalker scream, totally). I will miss you and hope you will still drop by now and then to give us a message. You've managed to make me smile some days with your wit and sarcasm. You've helped quite a few people out here and well, we can't forget the kittys on your avatar and sig. College won't take up all your time, but you are right that it does demand some serious attention so you make sure you get all that homework done. If you ever want to chat, IM me. Also, have fun in NYC! Maybe I'll run into you when I go on my search to find some Bapes.
Yes, each time you see the 'whole' organization together or members that have been defeated it is a past memory. The Nobodies aren't 'nothing'. They 'shouldn't' exist, but they do. They have bodies made out of Darkness and an element of life. They have spirits though they lack hearts. Therefore they aren't 'eternal' when they are defeated and their bodies destroyed. Xemnas had the element of 'nothing' so he went on about it. Actually, 'eliminate' usually means to destroy, kill off, finish etc, unless you are playing some game where you remove someone for a round. Axel did indeed kill off Vexen who was weakened by Sora. The Org members themselves that were offed are gone. Not sure why you think that they were walking around with Xemnas in current time. Every cut scene with them in the game was not in current time and was from a year ago. Maybe if you pinpoint some of these scenes we could discern the time more that they happened.
Since everyone seems to know now that Riku's game is the same as it was in the original CoM, I'm going to close this. Any problems with that, you know what to do! PM me.

Less suspected are green. DemoN:||D@ys Darkrequiem0 ICSP サキ アマミヤ Graxe Pyrɸ Heartless_Vice 戦士の翼 TK 421 Xephos DevileoX Pika Power I included you guys on the list.

Boy, people can't tell a Greek from a Middle Eastern person. That should earn you some laughs right there, of course if it wasn't for the fact you could have hurt yourself. Middle Eastern people also...of course aren't terrorists. It's a group of people that are and well, prejudice in simple sucks. I would ask your friend the proper way of doing pointe so that you know and well, you might want to tell people that you are Greek, or at least tell them off for thinking you are a terrorist. I think though you might want to examine your friendship too and think if this girl is just trying to worry you or not because some people love drama. If she's sincere on things, someone is obviously spreading rumors about you and you can get them dismissed by telling the truth to people and bit by bit that word will get around and they will stop being so ignorant. If the class though really is bugging you, perhaps you'd be able to find a less biased one to learn ballet at? Maybe not since I don't know how populated your area is. I hope things get better for you and sometimes we all just need to accept that there are some dumb asses in this world. :/
I've lost a few friends to car accidents or some other spontaneous death that takes one off guard. Death happens and it's a sad fact we need to adjust and accept. It sucks, but that's how it goes. Your friend is going to have to take her time to grieve and well, as long as she's not doing something harmful to herself, this grief is normal and it will pass after a time. The best thing I'd suggest doing is just to be a good friend and say you are there for her if she ever wants to talk and unload and the words go no farther than your ear. She may not wish to or feel able to confide in anyone yet as she is grieving so give her some time and just be there for her and perhaps try to do some activities with her if she wants to, in order to help her focus on other things too in her life. Gauge her reactions basically on things and go with the flow and hopefully she'll be back up to doing things normal after she feels she's able to move on. We all want to do things for those in pain but we can only just hope to be there in these circumstances and let the person know we have a good strong shoulder to cry on if they want it. I hope she will feel better soon and you hang in there too.
Being as I grew up around racism and yet a lot of ethnicity at the same time and I'm half Native American...well I can sympathize. I had fights within my family constantly when I had friends who were black or other ethnic backgrounds than Caucasian and I had big blow outs with my family over their prejudice. They would not let me once do a lip sync routine at school to a song with a black girl that is a good friend because they thought it promoted that we would be 'going out' heaven forbid. Needless to say, I did what I wanted. Racism is something to fight and you more than made yourself clear on how you feel about the issue and you were right to. However, now that this is said and done, the way to approach the issue may be through time and well, showing them through example that you are not a bigot and you have friends etc. Sooner or later they may learn to calm their own racism down by seeing there is nothing to fear or hate about someone just because his/her skin color is different. Just do your best to keep racism in your own thoughts down and lead by example. Unfortunately, the more you scold them for being bigots the worse they might get so if you do your own thing and just walk away from them when they start being stupid, they will see you aren't letting it get in the way of your better judgment. Walk your own path and if they ask you about why you feel as you do, explain calmly to them that prejudice is ignorance, pure and simple. I hope this helps because unfortunately there is no 'easy answer' but to stick to your guns and try to love your family for the other good qualities they possess and try to win them over by being you. We can't force people to wise up but we can encourage them to and also not let it get in our way of doing the right thing so that our offspring etc know that skin color doesn't mean auto-bias.
Teenage hormones sometimes suck. That is mostly what I would probably attribute this to. Being a teenager especially at times of growth spurts can lead to the hormones racing around and we become more emotional. Some suggestions I have for you are as follows and hopefully they help out. - Try listening to some music that inspires you. You can even listen to some angry music and try singing with it if it helps you to get out and vent some of your frustrations. - Try meditating. One exercise I was taught when I began meditating is easy enough to describe. First, sit down or even lay down if you want, in a comfortable position. When you breathe in, count to 6 and breathe through your nose. Imagine that what you breathe in is light clean air and it is filtered through your nose. It is 'light' that has positive influence. When you breathe out, count to 6 and think that it is negative air you are exhaling that has troubles and negativity to it, such as your anger or sadness. Imagine it as smokey air leaving your lungs. Continue the process and try to increase slowly up to 10 seconds or whatever you feel happiest with that doesn't make you yawn immediately. - One thing you are doing to help yourself is talking here and bringing up the situation. You may also want to talk to a family member or trusted friend to get some suggestions and well, just have someone to talk to in order to vent out these frustrations that are building. Please feel free to talk with us here and hopefully we can help you out some. - Try to think when you are angry at what exactly you are irritated by. If it's some small thing, try to put that into perspective. Try to not put too many expectations on people or things. I.e. if someone does something like taps their pencil, try to accept that it is a tick the person has and it's no big thing. You have your ticks too that you do at times. Everyone does. Come up with ways in your mind to accept some small insignificant annoyances that people can do so you don't fly off the handle. Also, write down perhaps what is ticking you off and bring it here and we can discuss over some methods on how to deal with these frustrations easier perhaps. - Try to pick up a hobby or activity that soothes you and lets you try to focus on other emotions than anger. I hope any of this helps you out. I remember too being angry at stuff and not knowing all the time why I was and some of these helped me out. Take care of yourself and you'll get a grip sooner or later because you actually see the problem and don't want to ignore it.
I would have to agree with others that it seems that you are more than likely not getting enough sleep and it is causing you to have anxiety or panic attacks which are causing you to be unfocused and not at your best. It's either that or you are sleeping too much. Try to make sure you get 7-8 hours of sleep a day. Also, you might want to do some physical activity that will help your brain work better because you aren't focused on anything but that one physical thing. I hope you feel better and regain your focus again. Try also perhaps getting yourself a vitamin a day that may supplement some mineral you might be lacking. Good luck!
Sarah... the boyfriend is watching out for you. I'm just going to be straight with you because that's my nature and well, I think you need to hear this straight up because what you are doing is bad. It's not a matter of not trusting you that is the problem here. I'm confused why you would even think that. The problem is that he's sitting with you and you are half-awake hitting on him ridiculously and putting your hand over his crotch and teasing him ridiculously and he's trying to be a gentleman and hold himself back. He doesn't want to take advantage of you in such a condition because you obviously aren't thinking and are just doing whatever you want without conscience because you are half awake. You should be grateful for his decency and self-control and if you continue such behavior of being 'half-awake' and doing this to him, he's earning extra time becoming acclimated to cold showers. Give the guy a break. That's really not very nice to do to a man. As for your problem of having this state, I would suggest you learn to get some quality sleep at night and if you feel 'half awake' during the day, try doing some physical activity like jumping jacks or something to get your blood going. You need to sleep for 7 to 8 hours a day if you can so that you are ready to tackle the day and not be in this state. Also try to eat less carbs if you can or extra sugary foods often and maybe take a vitamin each morning to help give you nutrients you need to help you through the day.
Well I want you to realize that if you are considering going back to cutting yourself that your dad's threat for one thing is empty. He can call the cops but you can also report him too for child abuse and neglect. The street works two ways here and you've got to learn to feel better about yourself. If he is mistreating you, he is. You should definitely stop thinking about 'ending it all' the way you are. You are absolutely not scum of the earth but you may have to learn to stand up more for yourself. If you are this desperate to ponder suicide think of some other solution that is also hard which is instead of suicide perhaps try calling a suicide hot line and asking for advice and what you can do and where you can go to get out from the situation you are in. They may have a safe house you can go to in order to get away from your father if this stuff is so bad. PLEASE do not feel so down on yourself. Those are the family words you hear in your head that they have made you believe. You are better than this and have every right to live and are not horrible in any way. Please do yourself a favor and call the suicide hot line if you feel you would cut yourself or want to end things. I seriously here implore you. If you can't find that number call the cops and ask what the number is. You are not alone though you feel it. Someone there -can- help you but you've got to fight now. Your dad is very wrong about you. So is your mom. Don't you be wrong about you too, okay?
I'm out now too for a while. I'll post later today that we begin the new round so people can begin and hopefully the game picks up with the new changes. Gnight all! And happy Labor Day to those that celebrate it.
I added you now to the list Xephos. Have a good rest.
OOC: Dr. Evil, it is my fault she got Marluxia since the other person quit. Also, you haven't been running Lexaeus at all and are slotted with him. He should be now moving to the meeting hall. I entirely forgot you had asked for Marluxia, mostly because I was not sure if you were still in or not. So please don't blame her. it's my bad as I saw the hole and am trying to get the Org slots filled so I don't have to NPC everyone that is vacant. Destiny Islands: Ansem gave a nod to Jack and knew he was right that time was of the essence. He turned to study Demyx. "I understand your precaution but the logic of the situation or the heart of the situation deems we should take action. Letting the Organization and all of the Nobodies in The World That Never Was perish is too great a loss. Whatever animosities that are shared between Xemnas and myself and others can wait until we see if we can actually aid them or not. If you are reluctant to go, perhaps you could assist us by maintaining the corridor on the side in Twilight Town in the mansion since that will need to be guarded as well. What say you to this concept?" Repliku happily held Namine's hand enjoying the feeling of having her there beside him. He was also happier with the choice to call the entity Spirit Sucker. Yeah, that was much better than stealing the name Soul Eater! Totally. "I'm sure the Organization is probably going to use their heads, Demyx, and realize they have little choice but to accept our help if they want a way out. The one thing I know about some of them is their personal survival comes before all else and so they will work with us. They have no other options." Repliku sighed softly. "It'll be okay" he said, trying to hope that it would raise Demyx's morale some. He could tell TWTNW: Xigbar looked down as the new Nobody entered. He watched the lips move of the lost being as he tried to say his name and swore he said 'Tony' but wasn't exactly certain. Xemnas would no doubt choose to alter his name if he found him suitable to the Organization. Studying the new Nobody, he could see right now, until the memories might filter in in the near future, he was a hollow shell, waiting to be filled with some information, memories and purpose. This was the way it was for any new Nobody. If he had a heart he would feel great sympathy. As he didn't and he'd seen this enough times, it was all part of the regular course of things with this myriad existence. He would for the moment be silent and let Xemnas deal with the newcomer. Zexion was pondering more thoughts on the situation and studied Larxene a moment but then glanced downwards at the Newbody. He did not really care to speak at all, as he was a silent person quite regularly, preferring to take in his environment, rather than become a potential center of attention for long. He preferred the shadows by nature and his element of illusion even made it more so. Looking at the pitiful state of the creature before him, it reminded him of his first days as a Nobody. It was so cold, so dreary, so not what he had expected. What did this being feel? He must feel there was nothing about but soon he would come to realize there was more out there..just not inside him, though he'd wish it. The blank expression lended to the realization that of course, he had no memories yet. Those would come in moments of time and fill him with knowledge that at one time, he had been more than he was now. Yes, the state o the Nobody was a pitiful thing, despite the power. The loss of heart and body in trade for enhancements elsewhere were not such a great trade off. Though some might think so at first. It is easy to give away what you feel is useless or in the way but oh how one might come to regret their hasty decision..if they can. He rubbed his chin methodically and gave a nod down to the new person who had entered. Other than the lack of memory, Zexion could see he was as healthy as a Nobody could be and in tact. He might have potential, if they could get out of here. Twilight Town: Hayner shrugged as if this all wasn't that important though his eyes belayed he was curious. "That's weird. You're right that Sora didn't mention he had a brother. You two do look kind of alike." Pence reached into the smaller cooler there and pulled out a Sea Salt Ice cream and passed it to Roxas. "Well, feel at home then. I still can't help but feel I've seen you before. It's nice to meet you now though. Perhaps you can hang out with us." Olette smiled. "School work is school work. You know how it is. But we're doing okay with it. Do you like it here in Twilight Town? I hope Sora is okay. We have not seen him for a few months knowing he went back to his world. His friend Kairi was also nice but she was kidnapped. We found out though that she was okay too. Are you an adventurer and Keyblader like Sora is?"
Twilight heh since it's a black cat with a couple white patches on her belly. I has no pics on this computer. My computer with pics crashed a few months ago. >.<
Here's the rules without me 'quoting' them so that you can copy them easier by hitting your quote button. I won't change anymore for tonight!!!! DN GAME GUIDELINE. ROUND 13 Below are the rules for The Death Note Game here. Please make sure to read them so that we can all be on the same page before you begin playing. Players in the game consist of anyone who posts in the thread at roll call for a new game or during a round. The Shinigami Repliku is the Shinigami this round. The Shinigami chooses a Kira and cannot be the Kira him/herself, so do not waste time with accusing the Shinigami. Accusing the Shinigami results in some fun torment as no one but the Kira can see the Shinigami so yeah... go ahead if you are bored but otherwise, don't bother. * The Shinigami is a neutral party monitoring over the game and will not aid the Kira in covering tracks but also will not aid the detectives with their investigations either. Probably, the Shinigami will be a pain in the arse to both parties instead. * The Shinigami likes fruit. Particularly apples and peaches. Shinigami Eyes To make it clear what Shinigami Eyes is, an explanation is provided here. * If one full day goes by and no accusations are made, the Kira will be granted Shinigami Eyes to kill one person of the Kira's choice. If 2 days pass, the Kira gets 2 kills the following day and[COLOR="teal*] if a third day passes by[/COLOR], the Kira gets 3 kills with Shinigami Eyes. [B][SIZE="3"]The Dead [/SIZE][/B] You can die in this game by 3 ways. 1. The Kira figures out your first true name. This will be contained in the Death Note the Kira writes to the book aka PMs to the Shinigami. 2. The detective accuses a suspect that turns out to not be the Kira. 3. The Kira gains Shinigami Eyes. * Dead people in the game cannot give out clues whether in the topic thread here or through PM or by IM. Those who are dead should not post frequently but are allowed to post some because well, they get bored. Just NO GIVING CLUES OUT!! Accusers/Detectives Those who accuse someone of being the Kira may do so once as a freebie. This puts you in danger though of becoming a victim to the Kira, if you are mistaken. All people who join the game are considered detectives or accusers and there will be one or sometimes two kiras lurking in their midst which you must ferret out. * You have ONE freebie where you do not have to provide evidence for your accusation. However, if you make a second accusation because the Kira hasn't killed you off, you must provide clear and concise evidence to back up why you are accusing the new person. If you get to for some reason accuse a 3rd time, etc, the same rule here applies. * An amendment to the rule above. If there are less than 13 members on the list of players, to make things more difficult :) players will be required to present evidence when accusing someone the first time. If the member list is small for the round, it grants that detectives have to study a bit more and find an actual reason to accuse someone of being the Kira so the list isn't knocked out too soon. * Remember that just because someone says he/she is not the Kira does not mean the person is innocent. The Kira is of course capable of lying and messing with your heads. Kira One Kira will be chosen to begin the game by the Shinigami PM'ing that person, or the Shinigami requesting those interested to PM him/her, and the person has the right to except or deny the role. The Shinigami will not inform the person who the true Kira is for the round unless that person is intended to be the Kira. * The Kira can only use the Death Note on people in the list here that are playing. This means you cannot have a kill that is someone else outside the game here. * The Kira can kill using the 3 methods described above but may of course not use Shinigami Eyes until the Shinigami gives the go ahead. *On Names - The Kira may kill those on the list by knowing the person's true first name. A nickname does not count and the Shinigami of the time may need to verify the true name with the member before the kill is approved. There are various ways to find out people's first names such as browsing around the forums or asking the person, though either way may give clues to who the Kira really is. The Kira may only kill 2 people by true first name on the first day. If the Kira uses only 1 death this way or no deaths by name, the Kira gains 3 kills by name on the second day. If the Kira kills on the next day and does not use up all kills by name, again, 1 bonus name kill follows to the following day and so on. This rule is implemented since a few potential kiras know quite a few names and it makes it so they cannot take out a majority of the detectives in one fell swoop. * The Kira may choose at any time to pass on the Death Note to another player in the game. However, the Shinigami MUST be informed of the intent to do so and if the Misa/Mikami accepts or not. * Timed Deaths - The Kira can set deaths to any time he/she wishes for that day or the following day. The Kira should PM the Shinigami or IM, whichever is the preference, and declare the time of death as well as a description of the type of death such as 'heart attack', 'falling down the stairs' or whatever. The Shinigami will more than likely spruce up the details of the death showing what actually transpires as a result of the Death Note. Regardless of the way the Kira chooses to kill via the Death Note, to include by Name, Shinigami Eyes, or Accusations, the Kira can specify the time of death from 'automatic' to whenever in the next 2 days. * The Kira must kill at least one person per day. Just as the Shinigami Eyes may be granted to the Kira in order to kill someone as a freebie if detectives fail to come up with a suspect, the Shinigami will also stab the Kira in the back if the Kira fails to do his/her job. The Shinigami may react by giving out a clue as to who the Kira may be if no deaths occur within a day's time. If for some reason, no one gets the clue and another day passes, the Shinigami may kill off the Kira through some interesting tragedy and choose another, telling others or not... Misa/Mikami * The Misa/Mikami (person given the DN by the former Kira) has 3 choices to decide, which can be conversed over with the Shinigami. 1. Accept and be loyal to the cause of Kira. 2. Turn Kira in through an accusation made in the thread. 3. Accept the Death Note and kill the former Kira immediately or sometime during the game.
SHINIGAMI - Repliku Dead people: The Zombies be gray. none yet. Investigated: Those interrogated and released are blue. none yet. Detectives/Suspects Those suspected more are brown. Less suspected are green. DemoN:||D@ys Darkrequiem0 ICSP サキ アマミヤ Graxe Pyrɸ Heartless_Vice 戦士の翼 TK 421 Xephos Alright, and the final rule I am implemting after talking to ICSP and Pyro to make it so name kills are included with rules that are more clear and well, it lets various members who do have a lot of names by researching still have the potential of becoming the kira someday down the road. *On Names - The Kira may kill those on the list by knowing the person's true first name. A nickname does not count and the Shinigami of the time may need to verify the true name with the member before the kill is approved. There are various ways to find out people's first names such as browsing around the forums or asking the person, though either way may give clues to who the Kira really is. The Kira may only kill 2 people by true first name on the first day. If the Kira uses only 1 death this way or no deaths by name, the Kira gains 3 kills by name on the second day. If the Kira kills on the next day and does not use up all kills by name, again, 1 bonus name kill follows to the following day and so on. This rule is implemented since a few potential kiras know quite a few names and it makes it so they cannot take out a majority of the detectives in one fell swoop. This should be all that changes in the end for the time being to make the game more challenging for both detectives and the kira of the round. Also, the rules make it so the game won't lag so much if a kira happens to be inactive since the Shinigami can't really give out much information pertaining to the fact the kira may not be even around. Now the Shinigami can do some actions so the game won't falter. Hope you guys like the rules and let's hope it seals up holes that were happening so the game can be more enjoyable and we bring back some of the intrigue to the game that it first held. I will choose a new Kira probably in the morning sometime since more people will likely be around and then we can begin.
I was pondering that maybe...well I should talk to you guys separate from here on this. ICSP, you need MSN!!!
My cat assumes it has human discussions with me, I swear. I can't get her to wear human clothes though. She does however, crawl in the back behind my dresser and climbs into my clothes drawers and sometimes sleeps there. >.>
