As a drug addict and a thief, you prayed on the kindness of others to fuel your addiction. Today, we're bringing the ugliness inside you out into the open. Now, in order to stay alive, we have to match your face with the ugliness of your soul. Just lean forward into the knives with your face. Press hard enough and you'll release the arm and the leg restraints that bind you. Press hard, though, and you'll be free. Or, you can sit idly and bleed out on the floor.
Hello, Seth. Right now you're feeling helpless. This is the same helplessness you've bestowed onto others. But now, it's unto you. Some would call this karma, I call it justice. Now, you served five years of what should have been a life sentence. For murder, a technicality gave you freedom, but it inhibited you from understanding the impact of taking a life. Today, I offer you true freedom. In thirty seconds, the pendulum will drop far enough to touch your body. In sixty seconds, it will cut you in half. To avoid the pendulum, all you have to do is destroy the things that have killed: your hands. You must insert your hands and push the buttons to start the devices before you. Your bones will be crushed to dust. Will you destroy the things that have taken life in order to save one, Seth? Make your choice.
Hello, Xavier. I want to play a game. The game I want to play is very similar to the one that you've been playing. As a drug dealer, the game of offering hope to the desperate for a price. I think we can agree that your situation is desperate. So I offer you hope. The price you pay is that you must crawl into the same pit of squalor you force your customers into. By entering this room, a timer has been started. When the timer expires, the door in front of you will be locked forever. Only in finding the key before the timer runs out can you unlock it and retrieve the antidote inside. I will give you just one hint as to where that key is. It will be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Hello Obi. I want to play a game. For years you have burned those around you with your lies, cons, and deceits. Now you will have a chance to redeem yourself for the games you've played with others by playing one of mine. Inside the device in front of you are two antidotes for the poison coursing through your veins. One is my gift to you for helping me kidnap the others. The second is yours to donate. However, one of them will come with a price. Remember, Obi, once you're in Hell only the devil can help you out.
Hello, Michael. I want to play a game. So far, in what could loosely be called your life, you've made a living watching others. Society would call you an informant; a rat; a snitch. I call you unworthy of the body you possess. Of the life that you've been given. Now you will see if you are willing to move inward, rather than outward. To give up the one thing you rely on in order to go on living. The device around your neck is a death mask. The mask is on a spring timer; if you do not locate the key in time, the mask will close. Think of it like a venus fly trap. What you are looking at right now is your own body, not more than two hours ago. Don't worry, you're sound asleep and can't feel a thing. Taking into account that you are at a great disadvantage here, I am going to give you a hint as to where I've hidden the key, so listen carefully. The hint is this: it's right before your eyes. How much blood will you shed to stay alive, Michael? Live or die, make your choice.
Hello, Jeff. If you're listening to this, it means that the confrontation you so long dreamed of is finally unfolding. In your head, he is a cipher. A symbol of your life changing. A symbol of death. I present him to you, now, as a simple human being. His name is Timmothy Young, he's twenty-seven years old, a medical student with a mother and a father just like you. A man whose life also changed the day your son died. That day he made a terrible mistake. You believed he didn't pay for that mistake, and now is your chance to make him pay. The device Timmothy's strapped to is...my personal favorite. I call it The Rack. The human body is a miraculous creation. Ever wonder how far the arm can twist? This device is going to start twisting.
You see, detective, Darwin's Theory of Evolution; surival of the fittest, based on his little trip to the Galapagos no longer applies on this planet. We have a human race that doesn't have the edge or the will to survive.
I never murdered anyone in my life; the decisions are up to them.
You see, the knowledge of death changes everyting. If I were to tell you the exact date and time of your own death, it would shatter your world completely.
The cancer isn't what started me in my work. It was the moment I decided to end my life that started me on my work and brought meaning to it. I had literally driven myself to suicide. I had failed. My body had not been strong enough to repel cancer cells, yet I had lived through a plunge off a cliff. But to my amazement, I was alive and I was determined to spend the rest of my days testing the fabric of human nature.

Possible Forumposted Nov 4th 2009, 1:10AM
Mood:
Believe it or not, this is a decent announcement for anybody who is or intends to watch me. Though it looks like a lot of old Sheezy members have left the block, in case anybody decides to come back before I put up the next journal, here is a possibility.
For those of you who frequent my journals, this will be nothing new.
It looks like the MasterPlay forum is relatively down. There's only one active thread and only three active members; myself, Wrath2142, and Brian from a great site, the Escapist, which we both subscribe to. Unless more people want to join MasterPlay and post on our forum, we desperately need KaesoFlare back on the scene, for goodness' sakes, and anybody else who wants in on simple roleplaying forums. I'm fairly sure I've said before that it's not an ultra-insane site, and that the moderators on the page are competent and willing to not be complete asses.
http://masterplay.aceboard.com
HOWEVER, SINCE THE ODDS DICTATE THAT THE SITE WON'T GET TOO MUCH MORE POPULAR, I HAVE THIS NEW OUTSTANDING QUERY.
I'm contemplating putting up a Gunzone forum. Now, I'll be honest: Wrath and Kaeso can both tell that I'm probably not the most consistent of forum goers, but I do die hard with any forum I put up. Since Gunzone is turn-based, it would be easy to imagine the map (hell, someone might even be able to draw it), and damage could all be calculated by the forum moderator on-site (which will probably always be me). I know that the players would probably be Wrath, Kaeso, Guy, and possibly Law, if he decides to join us for any kind of forum activity. Anybody else who would want to play, however, would also have easy access to the site if they wanted.
Players who didn't show up could be easily role-played and compensated for, granted I have every stat sheet and could update them all on the site when given the opportunities to do so. Weapon shops could be posted and changed, and every idea for any kind of new weapon design or test could be thought up and posted. Sure, matches would move slower and could take days, hell, weeks. But I don't think anybody could doubt that there'd be less restrictions on time or location for the campaign, not to mention it's not an RP heavy scenario. It leaves leeway for RPing, obviously, but it's straightforward and much like the Gunzone game I had invisioned.
Not to mention some of the guys at Cal Poly were wondering whether or not I would run Gunzone. At school, it's a little hard. But online, it could happen. Sure, it'd be slow. But it'd be steady. Shut it.
My only question is, do you think a Gunzone forum is a good idea, or a bad idea?
Name: Erik Drake Gonzalez
Age: 19
Residence: The Prophecy
Description: People have called me crazy, insane, psycho, Prince of Darkness, Kitty, Orange, Gold, Boyo, box-man, Kire, Fie, Ace, Balto, Bill, Harold, My Liege, ass and the infamous Drake the Maker. But above all else, I am simply a counselor and the author of several works which you can now see below.
I am the author of the Philip Trilogy, a story which revolves around a legendary Lumisonian bloodline, from the first hero whose fate is intertwined with the fate of the entire universe. His best friend Leonardo, who betrayed he and his other great long-time friend Lance, who has a haunting tendency to return and protect the bloodline. Many other characters twist and interact in order to cope with the Lumis/Hells War and try to tip the scale. The fate of the universe seems to hang in the hands of the planets and the Holy Guardian Tousa, an ominous figure who can predict the future. How will it all end? Read and find out.
My original work, which I am still trying to complete, is my Gunzone story. Gunzone is a mix between first-person shooter, action role-playing game, real-time-strategy, and battle simulator. Lloyd Regent plays the main character, a sophomore in High School who aspires to become one of the greatest Gunzone players in Desrow City, Nevada. Lloyd takes an unorthodox approach to Gunzone at first. He believes that all other people are threats, and that threats should be eliminated both in-game and out-of-game. His many rivals compete in Gunzone. They draw different abilities, from the ability to fight Wing-Chun to shooting homing bullets to applying nuclear explosions, there is no limit to danger as Lloyd tries to balance competing in a rewarding game with his real life. Can he do it? Read and discover.
I personally play IRO, Valkyrie, though not vigilantly. My current character is a weak Wizard, named Harold Alle (as usual), but I am a seasoned player with knowledge of the game. I simply have no way to play as long as I used to. However, I do play my fair share of Gunbound, which I have completed seven accounts and am currently on the eighth. Should you like to play alongside the HappyCo guild, you may search it in the Guild tab or else try to add Trylven to your buddy list. I'm sure I could teach you a thing or two, at the very least.
My utmost priority relies on those I live around. I want to help, and will help if I can. My previous self wasn't this way, and some of it leaks into my current self, but I can assure you that the Erik you have today is someone who only wants to ameliorate situations he has a hand in affecting. Trust me. Between college, friends, gaming, and possibly work (cross your fingers), I can and will find time to listen.
10/1/2008: Cruel Ultimatum's only target is an opponent. You don't choose which creature card in your graveyard you'll return to your hand until Cruel Ultimatum resolves.
Hold on, I'm confused. It's probably because I'm feeling a little sick. But from the way I'm reading it, it doesn't appear that swerving Cruel Ultimatum would work... o-o I thought the rules said that it has to be an opponent, and in an A vs B game, swerve would only change legal target B to legal target B. In multi you could do it.
Well, then in that case, it's even better, because Swerve doesn't seem to care if the new target is illegal by Cruel Ultimatum's wording. Cruel Ultimatum would resolve after Swerve, realize that's it's not targeting an opponent, and then fizzle.
I think that's how it would work. Unless I'm mistaken, which I could be.
Also, the better version of that deck runs Dakmor Salvage (the Future Sight land with Dredge 2, so you can repeatedly play the retrace cost), as well as Flame Jab (the other 1 mana sorcery speed retrace spell, that can also be an imprint target.)
Sweet -- and no, I never really do seem to have anything.
Unless you wanted those Llanowar Elves, which I seem to have three of.
Not sure if they're that good, though.
Well, I think the one I got from the 2010 draft that I did. The other two came from those free boxes that came with Duels of the Planeswalkers, for the Xbox 360.
Yeah; I was surprised, because the other free little boxes didn't have anything in them. Llanowar Elves was about the best card in the sets.
Diabolic Tutor was the next best one, I would think.
I probably can't. I'm sure he would say it's as fine as any woman's ass, to which I would have no proper comeback.
It won't stop! IT WON'T STOP MAKE IT STOP PLEASE!
The only problem is that I need some $20 to buy more points .x.
But if I had that money, I could buy more than the one song. I could buy like...
...
...ten? Ten.
It would be! And I could have sworn that at one point or another it was done that way for some things; otherwise there would be no reason for the achievements. They must have killed that, because some game achievements were too easy/too stupid to achieve. Still, I could have sworn that some things were purchaseable by gamerscore.
hey dude. i'm getting ready to continue the MTG story i've started, but before i do, do you have any comments/criticisms on it, being a reader of it thus far? i wanna know what you think.
I thought it was actually very interesting. I think it's odd that the Boros would hunt the Behemoths for little more than sport, myself, however -- it seemed like Kaeso had his right mindset when he thought of that. x.x seems like suicide.
At the moment, the only thing I'm having trouble imaginging is the overall plot. If I were the writer, I'd attempt to make it slightly more obvious what the plot is during the next few chapters or so. Otherwise, exposition is still in order and I completely understand if any writer would want to make it obscured. We have a main character, obviously, but a motive is what's needed. What is it that is going to happen.
I thought the siege worms did their job -- they proved Selesnya to be a powerful adversary, and they also managed to establish that when given the time of day, Kaeso isn't the type of person to be trifled with. This is good, because it proves that Ajani has his facts straight: Kaeso isn't just your typical Boros soldier/unit. He's a stronger unit, clearly.
The Brightflame scene was interesting. It was seeing parts of the card game come to life; the whole 'protection from' clause, perhaps? Or maybe just a text that said it destroys off all noncolor creatures. Again, very interesting, but nothing necessarily wrong with it. The real question for the avid reader would be 'is it true that everybody was annihilated in brightflame blast?' As of right now, I'm unsure.
Alright, then that part did what it was supposed to. Thanks ^__^ (and for the love of god, i still hate Trample)
Actually, instead of protection, the idea was Radiance (target creature and all other creatures that share a color with it), more specifically, since Kyre Surge, Boros Captain, intercepted the blast, all Red/White (Boros) creatures/soldiers got toasted, instead of the Elves and Leonin. But you're right, I do need to explain that...hold on, I did, when Ajani's talking to Kaeso...ah, okay, I don't think I specified whether the Elves and Leonin lived or not; I gotcha now.
Also, many elves and leonin, being part of naya, are red and/or white. If were talking strictly, a radiance effect targeting a boros red/white creature would also affect a large part of the elf and leonin population. Ajani himself is also white, as I'm guessing Kaeso is, so you'll have to figure out a way to explain their survival.
Also, since I haven't actually read the story, I'm not sure how you're explaining that the Boros are arriving on Naya to hunt the behemoths, but I hope you have. Interplanar travel is strictly limited to planeswalkers and their summons. Unless a very powerful planeswalker is summoning the boros to naya frequently, you'll need some sort of means for travel.
If you're going to ignore the travelling part by melding the two worlds together somehow, i would suggest changing the names to something original, so you can have your world with a hyper-militant group that hunts huge "naya-like" behemoths, without being forced to stick to the already-well-defined outlines
Also, why would the Boros hunt the behemoths? The Boros are supposed to be highly militant, yes, but ultimately policemen, sort of like the Gestapo of the Nazi's. The boros would probably be more interested in hunting the Grixis zombies.
(The jund dragons are already being hunted by the humans on Jund).
I guess you'll have to let me read it for me to fully understand.
And while it is true that, on Naya, many elves and leonin are red and white, the effect of Brightflame was to be a dramatic backfiring so as to move the plot and give the main character new purpose going towards that plot.
As far as Ajani, he wasn't at the scene of the Brightflame
But yeah, you've just outlined some of the definate problems I've had to deal with already, most of which, I daresay, have been dealt with lol
