.....If you said that the first time I wouldn't of said anything. Stop acting as if your arguements are knocking me down a peg, it's real annoying. I'm okay with you saying the series is bad now that I know you looked up on it though.

The below arguments are aimed for Shabazz's arguments, not for Shabazz himself.
The Flash now, sucks. Barry is where its at, not Impulse who is slower than Superman.
Marvel Universe has way much more character development these days as well. I'll start with your example of Spiderman. He's driven to help people because its his responsibility, you know that one famous quote? That one was really simple. However, in these past few years this is how the two universes compare.
DC- Start off with well written Batman/Superman comics and rap up the past few years with a bunch of random crap that will hopefully work itself out, and end with Superboy going nuts and killing everyone.
Marvel- Kill off a few of the Avengers, rebuild them with some of the more popular characters in comics that are still well written. Have the House of M, which shows what most people really would like out of life, then lead into the civil war, where you get even more insight into what DRIVES them to do what they do, and how much is enough. Then rap it up with the death of one of their greatest, Captain America, to further motivate people to do what they do, one way or another.
Even the thunderbolts, a team of supervillains fighting crime is being well written. Besides the current Strazynski spiderman comics, I'm way more satisfied with Marvel. I used to be a DC guy, but then I got myself an edu-ma-cation.

Kyu for the sake of the thread, I promote that we make a thread pertaining Marvel vs. DC, after I post ICly then I'll make one, and believe me I have a hell of a response to that.

Just out of curiosity... How much does one need to see before you would consider their oppinion on a show 'valid'? Honestly? When it comes to a movie or a series, most people make up their mind as to whether or not they like it within the first 3 minutes or so. If by then the show has failed to entertain them, they are unlikely to continue watching. I personally have watched that clip, and 2 further clips showcasing 'key' battles, but it still didn't really impress. It's not terrible... But I seriously can't get into anything where the characters fight through some other entity. I mean come on... Look at the size of them! Do they really need to summon up some ghost warrior thing to fight for them?
V:TM was an interesting board... But the use of stats to at least a very basic degree is almost unavoidable.
EDIT: Taking my Marvel vs DC oppinion to the appropriate thread

Anyways.
Maverik, stats would simply go into discipline's, which are easily done and clearly outlined, and can be awarded from elders during exceptional RP. Its not hard.

This might bring some questions from the law, but I'd like to see a board about the mafia or any sort of organized crime, even fictional ones. True, yes, we have gangs here, but think about it. Gangs aren't the same as organized crime.

Wow, I might have actually been proven wrong...if you had gotten the definition of valid right.....
Hell, you can't use sound to deinfe Valid.....as something needs to be valid to be sound. That's like using burnt for a definition of cooked.
If you did know anything about validity, you would know that all voiced opinions are valid, since they're just statement's of one's own perception. Unless Odin was of compromised mind at the time, and I somehow don't see Odin sitting drunk at his computer watching anime clips, his opinion is valid.
So yeah, I am twisting what you say around....if that's what you want to call acutally knowing the proper definitions for the words you are using...
But I'll stop now that you've learnt you lesson....knocking someone down a peg is not a good thing to do on this site, and it feels like crap when it happen's to you....so now you know that if you do try it again like you did with Odin, it won't take long for someone who is really good at it (and by that, I really mean the people who know how to be an asshole when they have to) will show up and show you how it feels.
Believe it or not, there is a purpose beneath our veil of hostility....I find it odd that Shamino didn't join in on the education this time though.....
On the subject of organized crime, there is a problem there...people tend to die.....alot.....people don't like thier characters dying.

To throw this thread back on topic real quick, I felt the need just to throw out my opinion that Star Wars would make a great board. The typical problem is, of course, that there aren't a terrible number of fans, and therefore, do not feel the need to join such a board.
Either way, if (theoretically) that Stern is planning to start up his own board again, then he's welcome to use my link for my old Star Wars board idea. Otherwise, it'll be up to all of you to choose what you want for a board storyline.
And please... no Naruto, and no Kingdom Hearts, and no bullshit like that. There are probably a thousand such boards all over the 'net. Just find them, and don't bother us with the idea.

Even though Leon said not to try it anymore, I'd like to see a Fullmetal Alchemist board. I'm surprised nobody suggested that yet.
On a different note I'd like to see a board about the samurai days of old. It would be more exclusive though, reserved for those who are more familiar with Bushido and old Japanese customs. The catch is this is an fictional universe where characters use reverse blade swords (or bokkens, or whatever else that can't cut) and nobody is supposed to die (what you said is right Kurtz), so it's kind of like a bunch of Kenshin's running around the board. Yes, it does clash with the real laws of the samurai where people died A LOT, but this is fiction. I mean, some of our characters use and withstand techniques that would be lethal in reality, right?

I have no problem RPing in any starwars board 500 years or more before the double trilogy. I just don't want it based in the same era as any games. Still, V:tM...

And perhaps a Fruits Basket board for those who like comedy over combat. My personal thoughts towards Furuba RPs... 1) The curse affects the Sohma clan and I don't want to see great-great-grand-uncle's-dogwalker's-niece's-son's-babysitter's-boyscout leader's-mechanic's-daughters somehow being related to any of the main characters and also being capable of transforming into an animal outside the zodiac. (The summaries at FF.net that mention OC's at all burn my eyes and hint enough at the sort of characters that may be created.) 2) Read the manga for more details on the curse. As for me, I'm not one to join too many RP's unless I can create some "random" character (with a preferably original plot) that can fit into the theme somehow. For instance, a certain someone invited me to join a particular vampire RP a year ago and what kept me from joining that RPB was not only my lack of free time, but also that I didn't feel well-versed enough to create a character that would fit in.

There are no public Sith of any type during that time period, at all - all thanks to the Rule of Two. What would be so entertaining to roleplay the Star Wars Universe during its time of peace? Kurtz suggested to me a awhile ago that we base it in the Legacy Era, and I find that's an exceptionally good suggestion; the problem is, of course, that I have no knowledge of the comic that deals with that period (although that may change, since the Legacy Era comic series looks Awesome). If we aimed to make a Star Wars board, it'd have to be in a preset situation, such as the wars four thousand Before the Battle of Yavin, the Rebellion era, or the Legacy era. Otherwise, it'd never work. And again, it all depends on what others think of it.

At work today I was thinking about, well obviously not work 'cause you know, but about what I'd like a board to be based on.
I'd play on a Buffy/Angel RP board in a heartbeat. I'm a total fanboy and I actually think it could be played relatively well, and even more smoothly with just a handful of stats for reference.
I'm not surprised if I'm the only one that would want that, but I'm sticking it out there anyways.

For what Leon said earlier-
I'd actually love to see a Kingdom Hearts board. I've only seen one, and it was horrible. It was one of those Roleplayers who werent that experienced in rping to begin with, trying to manage a board. Of course, I wasn't a member, but I checked through that board thoroughly. I really dont think there are a lot of RPB's around based off a Kingdom Hearts theme (whose to say there aren't "thousands" of Star Wars themed board? Havent three already spawned from XIN1 members alone?). Besides, it's a really interesting universe to RP around. Sure, I don't think I'd want for people to be traveling all over with a gummi ship, but the whole emotional, philosophical part that gets you thinking element of the series really grabbed hold of me (could be just me though =/). Dunno, but, it could be for a very nice, RPing, interactive experience I believe.
(No, I don't hate Star Wars. I actually love it. I just don't know really anything about it. Comic wise and such. Seen the six movies though)

I agree with Tyler on this one, A Buffy/Angel board could be awesome, with or without stats.
Dunno what V:tM is, will have to wikipedia it. Sit tight for my next respond!

Wikipedia is actually a farily decent source of V:tM info...unfortunatly, it's not particuerlyy well organized by the sites standards and will take you a good deal of time to get through.
Though, I think it's pretty clear that Shamino thinks a V:tM board should be made.
Also, because I can.
That's why I said the word people...not gods such as I!!!!
Also, I said Post-Legacy....Legacy is too confusing for a plot I believe
No, they don't.
Personally, I don't think FMA would make a good board....it's got the drama I'll say that, but not enough room for characters or goals...everybody wants the stone....ok, what else?
If I were to see an Anime based board right now, I'd probably want One Piece....mainly because people tend to live through most of thier fights in the series....the hard part would giving people incentive to actually forming crews...which would require stats of some sort, which we know I tend to shy from.
As for Kingdom Hearts, I find it's a sign of what a good budget can do and nothing more. Nice character designs occasionally, but there isn't enough there for an RP board.
