Well we'll know if Amber is the Kira because people will die by cookies. We'll know she's not the Kira if she guesses and her death involves cookies. It's all set up for her totally.
We're just waiting for Kingdom Hearts games to come out and ...man, that touched my heart. *sniffle* Great post there, Heartless! I think I'm emo now. I want to write poetry off that. Where'd our awesome drama banner go? We have drama to tide us over until the KH games come out!

ICSP is obviously the Shinigami so he can't be the Kira. At least that's one less out of 17 of us. The numbers are higher now and we know Trogdor can't be the Kira again so that leaves us at 15.

Ya know, this has been in existence and no one invited meeeee. :( I will get you all or something.
Ah okay, gotcha. So... *dances* now we begin again. I love this pic by the way. >.>

Everyone who was dead is now back alive since the game is reset.
So, now we need a new list since a few others have joined. Who's all in now?
You give me too little credit. :( I did think things out but yes it was a guess of course. However, it was a guess based to me on the most likely person to be Kira or well, I wouldn't have tossed it out there so blatantly. I was torn really between 3 people, but at the same time I did think you were most likely the one. This is a lot of fun though. Whee. Wonder who the new Kira will be. You were a great Kira however. You played it off very well. And the deaths...lol. Those were great.
That's exactly my point, Xegreny. To want more in -one- area of the RPG section and have posts counted there sounds elitist indeed. The section was made to find longer RPs with deep storylines easier because people don't post in them but once or twice a day and have less members. So in the end, they were getting lost with the other RPs that post faster. That is the only reason why we asked for the section in the first place and I don't think it merits a post count because it is -still- an RP. RPs are -better- to the people who use them. Certainly those who participate in certain RPs are going to feel they are better than other RPs they don't bother with, whatever type of RP it is. So it comes down to your preference if you like the types of RPs offered or not. None are more superior from an outside point of view because they are all still RPs. The member decides what he/she likes more. There is NO fair way to say 'your RP type sucks so no points for you' while patting another group of RPGs on the back. It simply is not right. It is just not going to happen. As for Ok...I apologize for the tiny rant here. First off, most posts like that I have gone through and personally deleted and threads that are spam get closed, deleted or moved. I'm sure quite a few people noticed that and threads that are open and commonly used get gone through daily. Also, I will point out to you that in the KH section, premiums and non-premiums alike have PM'd me to announce spam in a section, so obviously points aren't their greatest concern and they too would seemingly like the area to be clean of spam because they actually want to chat about the games etc. I think you are being too hard on members, Pika and really I am not seeing these threads and if they do exist anymore and I haven't gotten to them, why are you bringing them up and not PM'ing me or another Mod or Admin? Others do it. The section stays clean with effort from staff yes, but also some members care about the quality too. Otherwise staff wouldn't bother cleaning it up, would we? The whole forum would be a Spam Zone.
You rule. Thanks for doing that. I'm sure we did cover this formerly so it's cool you implemented it so fast. Cool deal.
You didn't name anyone, did you, Pyro? And yeah, where's our deaths? I'm waiting to see who dies since he said deathS. So a couple of us or more are croaking! whoo hoo! The only way to win the game is to die or to not play at all! Or something like that. >.> If I live I know who next to guess.
Wow, this is news. I am sorry to see you are leaving. I'm not sure why, excluding reading of your promise and that it may take up your time, but hope sometime you will come back here and you will be missed. A promise is important and we all understand that. Thank you for the very kind words and they are about the nicest ever said to me. :) You are a great person and you do have friends here. After all, look at all the people you mentioned and then some who also posted here. Don't forget us and if you need some time off, you do that, but if you ever get bored and all, come back around if you can. Also, I have never really seen you be rotten here. Stay cool and hope to see you back again.
I believe we all agreed on this last time it was brought up but it was just not implemented. So yeah, it needs to be taken note of so that sooner or later we can get er done.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell. If they guy is going to be thinking she's one way and it is something that deters him and he won't listen to -her- then he's not worth it and there are other guys. Best thing to do is try to calm her down and yeah, sarcasm and embarrassing morons never hurts either. Sometimes people need to be put in their place but it usually won't happen if someone is so mad they can't think straight. Hating people is a waste of time. They are mostly clueless or just out to mess with her so it doesn't hurt to give them some good insults back to put them in their holes and to just correct the -serious- people that inquire nicely so then the truth gets spread.
The staff introduction section is what it is, an area where staff posts a bit about themselves so that members can know some things about them. If it went open to Premiums to post in, I don't really see anything so wrong with that as long as they could only post replies to the threads. I can see why though others won't want this as it might just collect a bunch of spam. I'm not really against the thought though. As others pointed out though, often they post things in the Spam Zone so it isn't 'needed', but again, I'm not totally against it. As for the second suggestion, I'd have to say a strong no to. As other members have already pointed out, there is no reason to allow such a thing. The staff discuss things that pertain to the site, it's upkeep, dealing with users that cause problems and going over suggestions and complaints members have that they may want kept in private. Changes can be viewed that get approved around the site to include this area, Forum News and just going to read the rules or announcements in each section. Members who bring up things and expect them private as well as just staff talking out things such as security issues don't really have any reason at all to be public for Premiums. The area is for work and when we get done with what we have to do, staff also isn't hanging around there and we become regular members like anyone else when we don't have to 'do the job'. So 'maybe to yes' is my choice on the first thing. The second though, I would say absolutely not as there just is no reason for Premiums to be there at all.
I think the Honda new car is supposed to be called 'Clarity' while Chevrolet is making the Volt. That's what shows up any way on new car information sites. However, it is nice to see that they are doing something green and that has potential. Both vehicles probably won't be out till 2010 but it shows hope that car companies are finally starting to do more and are showing they aren't total bought off slaves to gas corps. The only problem I have with electric cars is so far none can compare in power, speed or durability with their gas guzzling competition. This is probably the only reason I wouldn't buy one until they get things right because where I live we have a lot of hills and up north we have a lot of mountains. It's just not practical and safe. Also, I don't want to refuel/energize a car every 2-4 hours. That's a let down there. I hope more car companies keep getting involved in this endeavor and we see better from them. It's kind of interesting to see if they can produce vehicles that will be powerful and yet atmosphere friendly.
I still don't think hunting is bad from one perspective if someone is actually a real hunter and not some poacher or trophy hunter. I know quite a few people that go hunting now and then and they treat nature better than many others who talk about nature do. I would love though to see pointless slaughter of animals stop which poaching is illegal in most places. Just people have to report them more often. I reported a guy who used to walk around in one place I lived at because he'd go shooting squirrels with a bb gun. That kind of stuff is lame as the squirrels weren't doing anything to him. However, just because some people live in the cities or suburbs, not everyone does. The life style of someone out in the country on wooded land works differently and the person hunting is actually immersing themselves in the life and I still feel people are being too judgmental on what they do. They often eat berries and other foods from nature too, so why shouldn't they be able to hunt a deer? I'm not seeing why they should have to be forced to go by meat that everyone else wants. Besides, venison is good. Also, some people require hunting as a means of life. There are areas that take this stuff too far and people that are dimwits. China goes out of its way to get exotic animals to eat all the time which is part of the reason for the spread of SARS. Japan whale hunts even though the numbers of those whales decrease and so I'd consider those who participate are more in it for the thrill than for the actual living of the life and closeness to nature. The fox hunting in the UK and also the whale hunts though have received a lot of scrutiny and are dropping in frequency. However, I just think it should be thought out more and investigated before people just simply write off hunting altogether because hunters aren't all bad people despite some idiots that get brought up all the time. We are still a part of nature and in some areas, even in European and American countries, there is still a lot of wilderness and people live the life of that. Some don't want to have to be dependent on every modern day convenience and some don't even like to use vehicles to have to go out to stores all the time. It's their way of life.
Welcome back, Beat! Glad to see ya again. :)
It is hard to know for sure and there are holes in the story but my take on it was this. Xemnas had control pretty much of -all- Nobodies. Now, some were easier to conform to the Organization, realizing that they wanted to be whole people and all and he had a plan. However, any after the top 6 were probably brought in by being captured or lured in. The case seems to be that way with Larxene, that Xigbar went and caught her and brought her there. Marluxia seemed smoother and calculated. He probably joined with no problems and I doubt Xemnas would have bothered to put him in a position of power to monitor Castle Oblivion...unless his intentions were possibly that he did not trust Marluxia and gave him some 'power' to have to keep him entertained and out of the way while others were busy doing things. Vexen and Zexion obviously were there to do 'memory research' but also it wouldn't surprise me if Xemnas was not somewhat aware that Marluxia and Vexen were both spying on him to some effort to learn of his past which he did not want to share. Marluxia though was very smooth and arrogant, but probably also followed orders so either he was semi-trusted or just put in charge for his demeanor. Vexen it seemed had fallen out of grace with Xemnas though there's only 'proof' of this by if you take the 358/2 Days reference to the status of the Org member by how high the chair is each sits in. Marluxia's was higher than Vexen's in the scene with all Org members together in KH2:FM. Having said this kind of goes astray so back to the point... Marluxia seemed out for the power Xemnas had. He did not want to be a lackey but instead saw the potential for the younger members to take from the older members what they had. If you think about it, hearing the actual Organization story and all, it was the top Organization members' faults after all that the Nobodies even existed. We don't really get to hear about the other top members' opinions on all that happened with Xehanort and their incidences but Xemnas himself was not at all apologetic for the predicament. Seeing as Xemnas could not be 'justified' in a way yet expected to somehow hold power while no one totally understood his plight out of the younger members after the 6...and even possibly the others of the original members might not have either... Marluxia's thoughts for power were probably not justified in his own mind but more than reasonable to him. It was duplicity that created the Nobodies in the first place and therefore to a cold, calculating mind, why would it matter if duplicity robbed them of their positions and lives and he could take over and do things his way, taking advantage of the way Nobodies are? So, to me, that's kind of how I view it. I don't think he was out to do anything good because he was clearly a person that wanted power, but at the same time, when thinking on how Xemnas was very domineering and had 'plans' yet some of those plans actually forced everyone to be the way they were, it seemed like a great potential. Nowhere in Marluxia's actual character did they really show a 'good guy' doing the right thing. Larxene, I could debate on whether she could have turned out different with the right influence but Marluxia was to me not a good person and taking advantage of a situation.
