Rival Schools would be a great idea to base an rpb off of. Its called Xin, moving on. I won't expand onto this too much. I'm just going to say that if you honestly think that because both Xin's and Rival Schools' setting is in high school, that they are really similar then you are pretty ignorant. And that's all I'm going to say about that. Moving on... DC Universe, because it rapes Marvel with a bataring. |

I think this is the first time somone has immedietly fallen out of favor with Shamino and I in a single post...
Anyone who chooses between Marvel and DC isn't mature enough to make that decision yet.....like kids under 18 voting.
Now that the blasphemer has been dealt with, continue as you were.

I was going to suggest you remove your verbal backlash on Sham, because in the end it will just be bad for you. Whether you believe me or not is your choice. However, now you speak heresy. DC has Batman and Green Lantern, who aren't being written well at all anymore. And still, thats just two that are relatively awesome in comparison to a universe of superemely awesomes. As a robot once commanded, "Shun the Nonbeliever!" |

Ok then. ;D Well I looked into it(wikipedia) and V:tM actually looks like a manageable idea. However, we should keep open to other ideas. While it is a good idea, it just seems like a hackneyed one for some reason.  I'm gonna have to say hell no to any anime based ideas for an RPB. The whole idea of one just seems pretty lame to me. My idea is maybe something like F.E.A.R or STALKER(was told about that a bit). Problem is these may be hard to fit into a board. |

Well I don't think that I should remove it. I just feel Shamino is wrong, and I could care less about how his reputation is on this board. If he is wrong then he is wrong. And I prefer DC over marvel simply because I feel that the characters in general have better development than Marvel characters. DC's The Question just to name one. Although I agree the man of steel and the prince of darkness have fallen off their rocking chairs. It's all about the Flash baby ^^

It's not his reputation. It's the fact he'll want to put a verbal smackdown on you, that's all he's saying.
And truthfully, I've never liked the Flash. Mainly because his power makes me shake my head. It's like saying being able to jump really high makes you a superhero.

Well, that's your opinion, and I can't knock you for that. But I feel that the only thing that makes marvel so attractive is that there are so many superheroes, although I barely know anything about these superheroes. Mainly because most of them are barely even looked into. IMO the only superhero marvel is worried about now is Spiderman. But enough about that, I'll make a thread about Marvel vs. Dc another time.
Another Rpboard that would be cool IMO is one based off of the Jet Set Radio game series. It's unique and could be fun.

A comic book RP will suck. Superhero RP's don't work. V:tM seems like a super win, and STALKER would be difficult to RP because its an FPS, those arn't too diverse like RPG's. Its a good universe, but not one to be RPed. V:tM tho...

Raphael, Jojo is by far the weirdest, stupidest thing I've seen in the last month.
For those of you to lazy to click the link, first youtube window came up with a guy complaining about how he wasn't able to kill a tiny dog.
Piss, poor.

Ah..Odin, you can't call something stupid if your not FULLY aware of the entire situation. Maybe you should know a lil' bit more about the anime before you judge it on just 3:30 seconds...
Personally I think it would be kind of cool for a JJBA RPB simply because it gives you the opportunity to create your own stand. And that can lead to a lot of unique characters..

Shabazz, I believe I can call something stupid given the information recieved. I saw, I didn't enjoy, I commented.

Well you can call anything stupid, that's your opinion, that doesn't mean your opinion has to be valid is all. I mean I could call you stupid, I could call this whole board stupid, that wouldn't make it right or valid. I just think you should learn about it before you are quick to judge. One small clip can't sum up the entire thing.
Furthermore: A RPB based off of Ragnarok Online aka Norse mythology would be nice as well.

Honestly, sometimes you guys are worse than a group of ferrets on speed, trapped in an 8 1/2" x 11" cage, fighting over a piece of meat ...
Anyway, I disagree Shamino; an RPboard based upon a comic book world could work, if done properly. And now that I have revealled my not-so-secret inner comic book (And Doctor Who >.>!!! <3) geek, I'm going to agree with Kyu that an RPB based in the Marvel Universe could really be great!

If we are going to do V:tM we might as well Honor Whitewolf abit by adding in W:tF as well.
Sue me for liking one over the other.

No.....that 3:30 does a pretty good job of showing how bad that series really is.....I admit Odin's hatred would be much more grand and refined if he sat through any more of what is the crap of Fruit Basket, but you don't need more than that to tell it sucks.
Hell, I didn't, but I bothered to see a bit more. That was time wasted.
Of course, I'm sure you really don't agree with what you said, considering how you openly admit the only hero in marvel you know anything about is spider-man.....not, that would make you a hypocrit of sorts....as though you say shit and then don't follow it. As if you were to say Adam's opinion is fine, then to insult Odin for having one.
Oh wait, you did that too.
Sorry everyone, the philosopher in me felt it was necessary to point that out.....along with the inproper use of the word valid.
Anyway, now that I've destroyed Shabazz's credibilty for at least a week, a super hero RP actually can work, but there's little reason for it......you can just play CoH/CoV if you wanted to really. Still, it's the sort of thing I'm always up for when it happens.
Shamino is definatly right about FPS not translating well....shooting is one of those things where t1 is essential to do, mostly because people will argue over how well thier name is endlessly.
JJS can't work simply due the the lack of focused conflict....you'd have kids hanging out and then random tagging threads. Given the fact the enemy is pretty much the man, it leads to two comletely different styles of play being necesary to accomplish what you want.

Still, it's the sort of thing I'm always up for when it happens. Okay First of all, I'd rather not turn this into an arguement where we rant on and on ruining this good thread. So, I suggest after I post this,please refer any other comment you have through pms, that way this won't eventually get locked. Now...: Kurtz, you are quite talented at taking what I say and rearranging it so that it benefits your arguement, aka take things out of context. I never said that Spider-man is the only superhero from the Marvel Universe that I am knowledgeable about, what I did say was that I think Marvel is putting the majority of its focus onto him. (I.E Why the Spider-man movies are well done compared to the other marvel flops...a.k.a Ghost Rider, DareDevil) Also, What I meant when I said I don't know about a lot of Marvel Characters, I mean I don't know they're personalities as characters. That what Marvel lacks and what DC gains : CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. I mean sure we know Wolverine is the anti-hero and Captain America is embodied patriotism but do we really know what DRIVES them? What makes them tick? That is what I meant by that. Now to address the JoJo issue. My issue with what Odin said was the fact that he based his opinion off of 3:30 seconds. That is exactly why I said his opinion wasn't valid. And for you to say that I used the term valid improperly makes me wonder if you know what it means. If not, well here is the definition: Valid: sound; just; well-founded You can't have a sound, just, well-founded opinion off of just 3:30 seconds. That's like critics watching the first 3:30s of a movie and then writing a review? Would you value their opinion? Is their review actually valid? Which is why I took what Adam said and what Odin said so differently. I was under the assumption that Adam had a decent amount of information on the DC universe, where as the only thing Odin had under his belt was 3:30s. If you consider what you said, "crushing my credibility" I'd say your sadly mistaken. The only thing that MAY due that is the fact your a Co-Admin and I'm a newcomer, but how far does that actually go... |

This is where I further knock Shabazz down a notch. Who says I didn't click the wiki link? Oh, wait. I did. I'll quote a bit from it, just to let you know what I read about the anime.
End. Of. Discussion.
