Yes, I have decided to follow Ratlady's good idea too... seems like it can be productive...
-
Why do you think my idea is productive? :lol
-
It gets a lot of responses and can help us all share things about ourselves. It is a good online community... thing. lol. ;)
-
what is your favorite movie of the year (so far)?
-
Why did you wait so long to customize your profile? (i.e. avatar, signature...)
-
I'm not sure about the favorite movie, and as for the profile... I didn't think it was necessary until I didn't get the recognition on this site that I thought I was getting... I also started to ramp up my post count at that time too...
-
What influenced your decision to become a Christian?
-
I was moved to become a Christian when I realized that there were such things as objective, real "forms", or unchanging ideas of right and wrong. Using these as principles, one could trace them back to one, overall principle, known philosophically as the "form of the good"... the basic idea under which all good things fall... what everything we think of as good has in common... although different people may disagree over what is good or not... only some of those people are mostly correct... and no one is 100% correct unless they are literally a saint (or the person in question is God himself.)
Read up on Plato's forms for a more detailed explanation... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Forms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Forms)
Note that it is philosophical and not scientific... I cannot PROVE myself correct... at least, not by the scientific method.
-
What made you choose "noname" as a username? Surely you got a name. :p
-
I wanted to have a username which gave away a minimum amount of information. I am also called "Aristocles" in some other forums.
-
Would you ever consider running for public office?
-
Yes, if I ever find myself in a position to run for public office, I might just do that... maybe I could be a Senator someday... I'll have to be established in my job first, and try to get minor posts, then work my way up, gradually...
-
Do you like Star Trek?
-
No. I think it is socialist/communist. I don't like Star Trek... Star Wars is 10 times better.
-
What is your favorite music?
-
A tie between classical music and rap... although if it were a contest between those two, I'd say classical.
-
Do you wear sunglasses? If so, often?
-
I haven't worn sunglasses in years...
-
What's your favorite type of humor?
-
Probably ironic humor.
-
Or maybe dry humor.
-
What are your favorite game genres?
-
Action, fantasy, and adventure games.
-
What's your favorite restaurant?
-
I don't have one at the moment, but it used to be Rose Restaurant... an Italian Restaurant that my Grandparents owned...
-
What do you like more: Sonic or Mario games?
-
Mario, for the most part.
-
Who's your fave LBT character?
-
Either Littlefoot or Chomper. Not sure. Probably Littlefoot.
-
What do you think of Ruby as a new addition to the gang?
-
She was a good addition, I think, but there ought to have been more explanation about her.
-
Also, her parents could have used more exposition.
-
If you could sum yourself up as a whole in one word, what would it be?
-
Hope
-
Why do you like the Geography Game on the Party Room?
-
I am very, very good at geography! I always got A's on those tests! :D
-
I also took an AP class in world politics, so I had to learn about all sorts of different country names.
-
What does your Avatar represent?
-
How did you come up with your character name for Darwin's Soldiers?
-
My Avatar is a Chi-Rho; an early Christian symbol made up of two Greek letters which stand for "Ch"; the first two letters in "Christ."
And "Stern" was the last name of an old friend.
-
Hi, how have you been? 83
-
I'm fine, thanks. Going in for Lector practice at my church this weekend. And you?
-
Nice, good luck. :) Yeah, I'm doing good thanks.
What's your favorite movie?
-
Star Wars. You?
-
Me no have a fave. :p
Do you have a favorite animal?
-
Nope. You? I guess I'll ask that in your own page.
-
I don't like insects, though. Those are my least favorite creatures.
-
What do you think about Shakespeare? Do you like his stuff?
-
I like most of his plays. Some, like Timon of Athens and most of his histories are rather... boring and in some cases, too long... but his core of work (Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Henry V, Julius Caesar, a Midsummer Nights Dream, Othello, the Twelfth Night) is VERY good.
-
What made you want to become a Catholic?
-
If I remember correctly, you once said that you've played all four versions of the game series Civilization. What were your thoughts on that game?
-
I've played 2, 3, and 4. I think it is a great idea, but one that has to be executed well. From what I've read, the original Civilization was okay, but not that great. It was not until Civilization II that it got really good. Civilization III was a disappointment, IMHO. Civilization 4 is a masterpiece. The only complaint about that game is that it offers so much more in the expansions than in the original game, and that some of the expansions go off in odd directions (space, fantasy realms, etc.)
Overall, I enjoy the series, especially Civ 4; it has Leonard Nemoy as the narrator, has an excellent theme song (Baba Yetu, which is really the Catholic version of the Lord's Prayer sung in Swahili), excellent graphics, and is, on the whole, well balanced and fun.

BUMP
-
You wouldn't happen to have a lady friend would you? ;)
I saw your post in the "What are you thinking about Thread" so I'm just curious. :)
-
Getting a new one. lol. At least, I'm working on this one... ;)
I'll spare you the details though...
-
BUMP
-
You always have to bump to get attention? And does it hurt? :bang
-
Why did you disagree so much with my character Harly including a reference to his technologically developed homeland in your RP? I don't want to raise the issue again, I just want to know why you let me have this on his profile and yet insist I surpress it heavily during the story.
Universes like World of Warcraft, Warhammer, and Rise of Legends have proven that magic and a degree of technology can exist in harmony, so I don't understand what makes it such an athenema to a "Free-Fantasy" RP.
(PS, since you bumped the topic I figured you wanted questions and this was the best one I could bring up. Don't think that I'm still fuming over this minor incident months later :smile)
Caustizer.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro: I only bump topics that I think are deserving of comments; you will notice that I've let more topics fall down than be revived. And that was a rude comment. I'm not looking for attention here. I am far from the first person on the GoF who has ever bumped a thread.
Caustizer: Your character can come FROM a certain setting, but when your character is interacting with others in a certain world, he/she doesn't exist in a vacuum. Introducing technology to a magical setting is like giving machine guns to knights in shining armor, it throws off the setting. If a character had access to a semiautomatic while the others used swords, he would be able to out-compete them.
As for Warcraft, Warhammer, and Rise of Legends... those settings are geared towards the lowest common denominator, looking for bland, broad appeal at the sacrifice of content. If anything, they prove that introducing technology to a magical setting waters it down. Imagine King Arthur pulling out a bazooka, or Hercules killing the Nemean Lion with a machine gun. :blink:
-
Because I have respect for you Noname I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but bumping your question thread in order to get more people to ask you things, and then attacking them when they do is not smart nor polite.
...
On the topic of my question, if you want me to keep running with you in your RPs you should not put down my character developments just because you don't necessarily agree with them.
It is after all, a Free Form Fantasy RP.
Since it was not stated at the start that absolutely no technology was to be allowed, according to RP Participation Rule #1 (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=1405) as set by a moderator action9000 I have the right to develop my character however I choose, as different people can interpret "Fantasy" differently.
Caustizer.

I did not attack anyone in this thread. If I did, that would be just plain odd. I only responded to a claim they made, namely, that I was only bumping the thread for "attention." All I did was to explain why I thought that was a rude comment to me. If anything, I'm the one who was "attacked."
You also have to take into account the other players. It wouldn't be fair if they operate on one set of technological rules and you get to operate on a higher level than they are. I never said that "absolutely no technology" was allowed, just keep it consistent with what the rest of the RP setting has.
I don't know what is going on lately. People seem to be more... highstrung. All of a sudden, a number of people have been blowing up on me for no good reason, and apologizing to me later. I think it's the economy... or the holiday season... or both. Unemployment is high, and people have less patience...
-

Not to be mean, but talking to us like you did I can see why people might blow up on you. We aren't your enemies here, so quit treating us like we are. Me and MJ are your friends and really respect the amount of time you put into your RPs, and if life is sucking at the moment we understand but please don't take it out on us.
Caustizer.
-
That's what I'm asking you and MJ not to do. I'm not doing that. It's what he said to ME that did that. Nothing said on my part.
I'm not taking anything out on you. That whole "bumping" comment on his part was very mean-spirited to me. I'm asking others not to take out their bad moods on me. Several people have so far have.
All I did was to bump a not-very-old thread, then I was criticized for it. I defended myself, and was attacked for defending myself... then accused of somehow being at fault for it. :blink:
MK probably ASSUMED that I said "ohh, nobody posts in MY topic so I'll make a bump." That was not the case. I bump any topic that I believe should continue, within a reasonable timeframe.
"You always have to bump to get attention? And does it hurt?" THAT was rude.
-
Oh well. I won't let that get me down... :) :lol: :D
-
Why did you choose the name Noname?
-
At first, it was due to reasons of internet security. This was when I was younger and just starting out in these things. Now that I'm no longer 17, I know to make better names. You can find me on most other sites as "Aristocles" or "Talos."
-
I heard of the name Talos somewhere. Have you done some artwork?
-
I have an account on Deviantart, but it is not under the name of "Talos."
http://noguy.deviantart.com/ (http://noguy.deviantart.com/)
I do have plans to make a new account there as "Talos", or something to that effect.
-
Also, I know it has been some time since this thread has been touched, but if anyone wants to know more, they can check out my site, as well as my DA one.

I must know.....are you Batman!?
-
Nope. I know a person who likes bats, though. :lol
-
My Avatar is a Chi-Rho; an early Christian symbol made up of two Greek letters which stand for "Ch"; the first two letters in "Christ."
FYI: Chi in the Greek alphabet alone is the equivalent of "Ch", and thus Rho, being the equivalent of "R" would give you "Chr", the first three letters of "Christ".
(I've just started learning Ancient Greek, and being the kind of thing which I don't expect life will throw me many opportunities to use, forgive me if I take this one.)
Anyway, what's your opinion on the consumption of alcohol?
-
I drink a bit of it every Sunday. :lol
Its okay if done in moderation. I've seen drunken people, mostly young women, at almost every significant party for young adults I've been to, going back to about age 20. Temperance is important.
P.S. Yes, in English it would be the first three letters, but in the original greek, it would be two letters. I'm kinda splitting hairs here. :lol:
-
have you seen any of the Indiana Jones films, and if so, which is your favorite?
-
I've seen Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. I like the latter best.
-
i've seen the first 3. the 4th one, was the equivalent of the phantom menace' in the star wars movies.b apparently though they're in talk to makes an Indy 5. :x Shia Lebouf is not a good actor. Anyway What is the worst film you've ever seen?
-
Either Monster-a-go-go or Manos: The hands of fate. :x
What's the worst you've ever seen?
-
batman and Robin.Arnold Schwarzennegger and bad ice puns. nothing more needs to be said.
-
^ Yeah, that last question should have gone in Nick's section, not here. XD
-
Who or what is your avatar now?
-
The robot man you see in the avatar is Metalder, the protagonist of a similarly named Japanese tokusatsu show; part of the now canceled metal heroes series of shows. In the US, metalder and two others shows were combined to make VR Troopers, which ran parallel to the early seasons of the Power Rangers way back in the 1990s.
-
Vr troopers only lasted one season,it was somewhat of a Power Rangers knockoff. it was either 1994 or 1995.. I caught a few episodfes. but don't remember much..
-
It tried to ride on the coattails of Power Rangers, but it never had the same appeal.
-
What was the best RP you have ever played?
-
Currently, it is the Fantasy Roleplaying game on the GoF. Not to be confused with the much smaller spinoff you and I are on.
-
What do you think of the Darwin's Soldiers III RP?
-
I like it. If it is hard to follow at times, it is due to my lack of time put into it, not the RP itself.
-
What do you think of the Darwin's Soldiers spin off stories?
-
I've only read a bit of them, but they are quite good, in my opinion.
-
Which DS spin offs have you read?
-
Fool's Gold is the only one I can remember the title of.
-
MERRYCHRISTMAS!!!

Thanks, Rat Lady! (please forgive the lateness of my reply)
