While Adventuring...

Postby TriStates » Sat Dec 19, 2015 1:04 am

I found somethings on a forum. Apparently, people are fed up with Japanese stereotypes of foreigners in manga and anime.
Some are funny, some are weird, others are straight cringe-worthy... Just click the links...

Is that Michael Jordan?

Japanese manga are just like that, weird but somehow attracting people. Not all mangas, but some.

Well... I'm going to post the incomplete version. Read at your own peril:
Am I just, like, not allowed to enjoy myself offline? I get TGs, Skypes, and Steams about all these problems. Meanwhile, I'm marathoning Star Wars and seeing the new movie. Twice.

And, I'll have you know, in no other scenario will I willingly put myself through reading +14 pages of OOC chatter. I do it sometimes because I need to know something about one of my characters, but I could've easily skipped over this and just went to punishments. During this last session of reading, I came across shit I'd rather not see from both sides of the argument. A lot of shit. And mention of the Green Lantern Corps, but I'm not here to have a fanboy discussion.

Also:
Charlia wrote:If I had a genie, that would be one of my three wishes.

Guys, I agreed with Charli. Agreed. With. Charli. Surely, the apocalypse is not nigh so soon. Therefore, a full crisis must be averted.

Also, a number of the contests held on NS aren't even skill based. More like a popularity contest. Not going into details, but almost nothing here is fair.

The stuff I didn't get to add is: I've received numerous messages across multiple media types (as referenced earlier). The majority are in agreeance that Holy High be removed, as it was nominated in spite. I allowed it because I've become much more liberal recently on... well, everything, and did the general protocol for when someone's RP is nominated (let them know, link the thread, wish them luck). In the spirit of competition, I didn't think past face value of "oh, there were a lot of great RPs this year" to think for a moment that anyone would get mad about it. I really need to do this "thinking" thing more.

So. I'm going to reset the poll. I have thought of at least 1 entry that should be added (Dutchy's Elder Scrolls RP), and I'm still somewhat undecided on Holy High. On one hand, it really isn't fair to compare something so casual with these massive projects that required a lot of time and input. On the other, Temp is turning liberal. Why should I ban something that was entered fairly and has a number of fans, even as a joke?

I'm going to do some thinking, as I add everyone who's posted in my absence to the list. Yes, even if you have decided to hate me/the thread, I'm still adding you. It's how I do.

Temp agreed with me...

Temp, do you remember the chapter of one of the Kane Chronicles books entitled 'Men Ask for Directions, and Other Signs of the Apocalypse'?

Yep. This is one of 'em.


Also, WATCHERS GOT INTO THE POLL I AM SO VOTING FOR IT.

Yeah, I'm not super into Photoshop. Well, technically I use Paint.


...And really, the extent of that is changing anime eye colors, pixel by pixel. And occasionally transposing words and such onto pictures.


Well. Except for that one time when I removed words from a picture because I wanted to keep the picture but I didn't want the words... It actually turned out really well, you can't even tell they were there. I was proud of that.


Speaking of proud... Do I get a cookie? I voted for Watchers... :)

And my computer just died, so I'm going to take a break from pixel removing and let it charge.

Well, it's official...


My plans have changed. I'm not going to conquer the world...

I'm going to destroy it.



Easier to do, anyway, just conquer one country with nukes, fire at every other country with nukes, grab some popcorn, and wait for the end.

It's not 1970, you know. And, generally, countries with nukes, also have a means to defend against nukes. Like SAMs or lasers.

Just because reality sucks for you, doesn't mean there aren't others who enjoy it. That's a very narcissistic view on things.

Because you're on the internet, and there's no way to tell if someone is joking when you don't talk to them a lot.

For example, I've known Rob for a while, and I kinda get when he's being sarcastic.

Remember where you are. This is NationStates, the 4chan of political nation building simulators. Everything must be debated with as much seriousness as possible.
