Hmm, I wonder what happens in that story?

And sorry for the typo in the image.

SO, I was thinking of this RP idea last night while at work. (It's amazing how much you can come up with while you're just doing menial tasks all night. )

The basic idea of it takes place sometime around Rhombus' 'Songs of the Hunters' fanfic. The Pact is just living in their territory, raising their little hunters, when one night, all of the sharptooth kids mysteriously turn into leaf eaters! I'd imagine this would be an extremely tough pill for the entire pact to swallow.

I'm thinking the kids would possibly be more skittish and paranoid of everything for awhile, seeing as they just lost their advanced sharptooth senses. They can no longer tell when another sharptooth is around by the smell, so are now easily startled, and they can't use smell to easily tell others emotions, so they'll have to learn to rely completely on the tone of voice and body language. This might make them cautious of trusting others at first.(I'd think they'd have a basic idea of these already, but they never really developed them all that much, since it's so much easier to listen to what your sharptooth sniffer is telling you.) How would this affect their perspective on everything? If they have killed before, will they be able to live amongst what used to be their food?

Also, just them knowing that they are 'food' now, and knowing how sharpteeth hunt, since they used to do it themselves, They'd probably have a constant sense of some sharptooth watching them, observing them, almost judging them in a way, looking for the weakest link, who to exploit, deciding who should die. I'd imagine that being horrifying, especially for a kid.

We saw how much Littlefoot and the gang had to go through when they became sharpteeth. How a little of themselves died when they first killed another dinosaur for food. How Littlefoot basically asked Chomper to give him a new name because he's not Littlefoot anymore, not the same littlefoot, that longneck had died when he made his first kill. How different would this be the other way around? How could a dinosaur who spend it's whole life as a meateater, deal with becoming a leaf eater? I don't think I've seen this before, not to my knowledge, anyway, and I'd really like to find out.

And the adults would suddenly have to think of what to do with their poor kids now. They would probably be in super mother bear mode all of the sudden, ready to tear a foreign sharptooth to little red pieces just for having the nerve to even enter their territory. I'd think the first option would be to send their kids to the Great Valley, so they could all be raised and live their lives in safety, but what would the valley think of this? Would the valley be open to letting in kids who used to kill for their food being with their own kids? Would they be poisoning their own young's minds? It would open up a big argument in the valley at the very least.

So, the basic plot of this RP would be Littlefoot's pact trying to get their kids to a new home, whether that be the Great Valley, or what.

I'm interested in what others think of this idea, and if anyone would be interested in playing out this story or not. Also, I hope I'm not going out of line or something, Rhombus, trying to come up with an RP based on your fanfic. I know his original story was inspired by a RP Ducky123 started (That sadly hasn't gone anywhere in a long time ) So it just seems fair that his fanfic spawn an RP of it's own, .

Here is the list of characters to play in this RP. I recommend everyone only pick a few characters right now, as I still wanna wait at least another week to see if anyone else wants to join this, and 3 players doesn't seem like enough to me.

(Note, I'm grouping the kids with their parents here, to make it easier to read through.

Littlefoot
Ruby
Biter (son)
Swipe (daughter)

Cera
Taunt
Ambush (daughter)
Pouncer (son)
Sprint (son)

Spike
Breeze
Sniffer (son)
Nibble (son)

Ducky
Leap
Fisher (son)
Verok (son) [named after Leap's brother]
Tranquil (daughter) [named after Ducky's mother's aunt]
Dodger (daughter)
Aqua (daughter)

Petrie
Soar
Dive (son)
Lift (daughter)
Valaria (daughter) [named after Petrie's fallen sister]

Chomper: Vonboy

Male Rainbowface
Female Rainbowface
Datum (son)
Axiom (daughter)

*The leaf-eater gang:*
Bron
Ali's Mother
Sauria (Ali's mother and Bron's daughter - Littlefoot's sister)

Charger (Savine's son - mother was killed by Chomper's parents)
Flip (a flyer)
Malka (a swimmer)
Tricia (Cera's sister)

We can bring in other characters, if any players think they would be a good fit for this RP. Also, I'm not expecting all of these characters to be played per se. That's a ton of kids, for example, and I don't think it'd be the end of the world if some were not played, and just 'assumed' to be going along with the rest of the kids, to make it much simpler.

Also, We'll probably have different leafeaters that will be hunted in this RP, and anybody can play some of those from time to time. They won't be around for long in the RP, since they're meant to be eaten.

Has anyone else on this board heard of this game? It's basically a turn-based strategy space game, where you build up infrastructure on your planet, and try shooting railguns, missiles, lasers, or even asteroids at the other player's planets. You have to take the gravity of every body in the solar system, and the fact that every planet is constantly moving in it's orbit, in account when you make your shots. It kinda makes me think of a mix of worms, and maybe battle ship? It's a ton of fun when you play it with another person!

Me and Rhombus played a little online match of this about a week ago. I put it up on my youtube channel, so you can see more how the game works.  

Interplanetary Multiplayer with Rhombus Part 1/2

I'm kinda posting this, to see if there's any interest from anyone on here to play some online matches of this. It's fun with 2 people, but I'm sure it'd be much more fun with more players!

Let me tell you a little story. It is said that long ago, the world was nothing more than an endless sea, cloaked in a boundless sky, reaching as far as could possibly be imagined. In this world, two beings came into existence. Great, massive titans, so unbelievably huge in size, they leave us in awe today. We know them today as the Great Longneck, and the Great Sharptooth, their true names forever lost in the sands of time."

These two gods were locked in a timeless battle. For what reason, we may never truly know.

Until at last... only their lifeless corpses remained.

Eons have passed. Now, our land, stretching across the remains of the Great Longneck, is under attack by a relentless force of sharpteeth. We start our tale in a place called the Sword Valley.

-----------------------------------

"Retreat! Retreat!"

A flyer was in mid flight over a long, narrow valley, named Sword Valley. On one end of this Valley, Sharpteeth were advancing from the Great Sharptooth, while on the other, a small group of leaf eaters were trying to guard the entrance of their world, The Great Longneck. You would not be able to tell this being inside the valley, but this stretch of land was not just called the Sword Valley as a nickname. It was literally a titanic sword, stretching from between the two long-dead gods; the two worlds.

"Approximately 5 two footers! Number of Fast biters unknown!"

The flyer had landed next to a longneck, bringing news of the advancing force. One wave had already been fought back, but another was quickly approaching.

"They seem to be advancing along our weak right flank." the longneck, named Bron, said in response to the flyer. "For a bunch of souless monsters, they seem to know a thing or two, but we'll see..." As the longneck finished his musings, he took off, towards the group of advancing sharpteeth.

As he closed in on a two-footer, his body was suddenly enveloped in a blue light. He slinged his side straight into the approaching predator, with an almost unreal strength. The tyrannosaurus didn't have a chance. His body was catapulted several sharptooth lengths away. A symphony of snapping bones filled the longnecks ears, as he witnessed the end of the massive beast's life.

Nest several fast biters closed in. They were no match for this warrior's mighty tail, however. It was the last thing they saw before departing to the great beyond.

Just as quickly as the blue light had enveloped the longneck, the blue light turned into a barrage of blue sparks, covering the longneck in great pain. Wrapped around this leaf-eater's neck, was a small stone, kept in place by a vine, going around the neck, and through the stone. This stone was the source of Bron's sudden strength, and now sudden pain.

As he fell to his knees, writhing in pain, another longneck approached him. This one much older.

"Stupid beast! Your body can't take anymore of theMonado! I can tell by just looking at you!"

"Getting short sighted in your old age, Doc? I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm still in control."

"Did you listen to the flyer? We were ordered to retreat!"

"If we retreat now, these killers will make it into our world! We have enough to worry about. We don't need even more sharpteeth hunting down our loved ones!"

Bron rose to his feet again, the Monado's power dieing back down. The older longneck took another look at him, shaking his head.

"I Should've known I couldn't talk sense into a beast. Let's do this. I'm going with you! you're gonna need someone to drag your corpse back home!"

"As long as you think you still got the strength in you, old one!"

The two longnecks were old friends. For years, they guarded their world from sharpteeth, saving who they could from being someone's next meal. These back-and-forth insults and teasings were common between these war-torn veterans.

As the two longnecks looked on, a massive wave of sharpteeth were approaching.

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"This looks like it's their main force, Bron."

Bron yet again began to be enveloped in a blue light, as he yelled out a warning to the advancing hunters.

"Vile sharpteeth! If you think us leaf-eaters, beings of the Great Longneck, are just waiting for you to pick us off, your are sorely mistaken!"

He yelled out one last time, running head-long into the enemy, as we leave this place, Sword Valley.

Further on, on the Great longneck, a vast forest stretches across the titan's back, with one particular tree towering above everything else. Further down, rolling plains cover the thigh of one of it's front legs, which is raised from the ocean below, so the thigh is perpendicular to the water. Further down, close to the longnecks paw, rests another valley, The Great Valley.

-------------------------------

Hello everybody! This s a little crossover idea I've had since playing one of my favorite rpg's of all time, Xenoblade Chronicles, and reading through one of my favorite fanfictions of all time, 'The Seven Hunters', by Rhombus. This is just a short prologue here, but hopefully you can see where this is going. I've gotten permission from Rhombus to use some of the characters in his story for this.

Papa Sharptooth: "Hey, you're friends are coming. I can smell them."

Mama Sharpthooth: "Yeah. Smells like they've really grown!" *licks her lips*

Chomper: "Remember the deal, mommy. Rhett's the only one on the menu."



Caption away, everybody!

Anyone else here see these parody mash-up videos that James Farr have done?

Super Smash Wars

And these two Super Mario Bros/Ghostbuster's mash-ups

Super Mario Busters and Super Mario Busters 2

He's been doing some great videos lately, with tons of Nintendo references, and awesome music.

Hey, I was looking around on an old indie developer's forum I used to post on, Vertigo Games, and I found this. Ron's Adventure.
Ron's Adventure.. I'd COMPLETELY forgot about that game for a good few years. At least as long as I've been a member of this forum.

It was basically an Old-School styled platformer I made back in 2006. The story was some bad buy kidnapped my sister. I hate my sister, but I guess I have to save her anyway, or my parents will be pissed. (It's based around me and my sister, lol.)

It had a couple of cool little ideas in it, but it had some pretty bad controls, and annoying bugs keeping it back. It used MIDI snes music I got off of VGMusic. The graphics very from kinda okay, to giving me eye cancer.

and OH GOD, THE GRAMMER!!!  

Here's the game, if you wanna try it out HERE.

I just played through it again tonight. It has a lot of problems, but it's also just cool looking back at stuff you did a long time ago. You know, I haven't really dabbled in any game development for the last 3 or 4 years. MAybe I can build up the strength to take another whack at it.

... or maybe they'll just keep collecting dust, like PAST-O-RAMA.  

If you read any of Chronicler's/Karkovice's collaborative stories having to do with the Rainbowfaces. It basically boils down that the rainbowfaces actually had a human/like modern day society going about 10,000 years or so before the events of the LBT Movies and stuff.

They left the planet, for reasons you can read the stories for, but the main thing I'm getting at here is that in the fanfiction, there is little to NO evidence now of their being a modern day society in LBT, and this actually makes a lot of sense.

Really anything manmade breaks down pretty quickly, when you think about centuries and milleniea. Any kind of metel will pretty much turn into an unrecognizable pile of rusty dust.  (except like aluminum and a few other metal I think? How long do those last?) Plastics will EVENTUALLY break down, though I think it can take a similar amount of time. Anything made out of wood will basically waste away to nothing, unless it's preserved in just the right way.

Really, the things we have to look at human society from the order of magnitude of thousands of years ago is pottery, and marks left in stone, and skeletons and stuff. Things that survive longer survived in very dry areas, with little to no water to corrode things.

Also, when you really think about it, any kind of fossils that are old enough are really just rocks, with any substance that made up the bone, like calcium, replaced with other minerals and things. How far back can you even carbon date any kind of fossilized tissue?

even DNA itself has an experiation date. Even under the best circumstances, DNA will break down into something unrecognizable in a few million years. It's the reason any usable dinosaur DNA has never been found. It's pretty much all broken down by now beyond any useful way to recreate it in any way to make new dinosaurs.

So, I'm just asking this question, and maybe Pangaea or Chronicler could chime in, or anyone else with some knowledge in the subject. What exactly would remain after the dinosaurs, 60 million or so years ago?

If, for example, some dinosaur wearing a complete suit of metal armor died 60 million years ago, will anything remain of the metal to let us now that that fossile of the dinosaur actually wore a full metal suit? Would you like, have to examine the rock around the fossile for remnants of the oxidized form of the metal? How do you know that it used to be in the form of actual sheets of metal? Is this just a stupid question?

What would be left that's detectable?

I know this is a very... complicate subject, but it sounds like something interesting to discuss, hypothetically, of course.

Post in the discussion thread before posting in here, please. Thanks

Discussion Thread

(Don't know exactly where to start with this one, but I'll do my best with this first post. )

It was another quiet, peaceful day in the small community of the GoF. Malte woke up, and looked over his small kingdom, though he wouldn't really call it that.

This peace wouldn't last for long, as one person had a plan to make that all change. It was Chaarles Grosvenor, who always looked over the friendly little community with anger, spite, and constipation. "Oh, why does this place have to be so GOOD? Why do they have to like LBT so much? It makes me sick!"

The groutcy old director turned around, walking over back into his lair. "But how can I take that place down? How can I rip it to sheads? How can I destroy the last LBT thing that's still around?" The old man ruminated on this thought for a time, before arriving at a plan.

A horrible plan.

A brilliantly horrible plan.

A brilliantly, horrible, grinchy plan.

"I know! I'll bring all those LBT vilains to life! I'll lead them all, and take down that community for good! That'll show em!"

So the old director ran to his "R&D" room, and started throwing gobs and gobs of money at his team, and before long, a special portal was designed. A Wonderfully horrible little device that could bring animated things to life! "With this, I'll take out those happy, joyful LBT fans!" bellowed the director, before flicking the switch, and giving out a horribly nasty maniacle laugh.

Before long, all manor of LBT villains started to come forth out of the machieveious portal.

(LBT villain RP'ers, you can come in now Don't bring out the other LBT characters, or your OC LBT characters yet. I think they'll be coming in a little bit later.)

(I wasn't sure which caption forum to put this in. Just decided on this one.)
