Child of Flame

The First Noel Rikk E. Made Something Kind of Festive...I Guess Also, there are two more super super special bonus round Christmas Specials if you click this link right here. Go ahead, click it, I dare you to.

Because not enough of you click on links, I am now going to whore out Christmas comics, within this very thread. Be prepared to laugh, laugh, and maybe even cry...but just a little. The Terrible Christmas Special

Dear sucking fireball, Would companion airfare be redeemable for white female teenagers being sold into the slave trade, in exchange for Thai hookers (also charged under companion airfare). Also, are there alternative uses for Polident other than cleaning my dentures, because I still have my teeth, but am also in need of a good way to transport my Slaves and Hookers. Keep on sucking, Jim

I just sent this to the EEOC. I am anxiously awaiting further correspondence!

That is pretty cool actually. Takes principle and stronger moral character than I am in possession of to give up lots of money like that.

It is alright, I wasn't planning on getting certification and junk anyway. Damn nobles what with their gambling habits and losing their mansions and such.

Probably not, but I am descended from English Nobles (the Bolings), there is a Mansion that used to belong to them somewhere in the UK, my grandmother gets a newsletter in the mail about it every now and then. Why am I so poor. :'(

That's kind of sad. You could probably find a tribe though. Look on the brightside at least no one is suing you for millions of $$. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, but if I was heir to a tobacco company, how many billions of dollars aside from the couple million in lost lawsuits would I have? Am I right fellas? I mean, am I right? Thats odd. A fellow I worked with about a decade ago found out he was realted to pocahontas as well, and he actually found out he was getting some money out of it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Essplain please, at least in my case, I do believe the [documented] blood is so diluted as to mean nothing.

Sadly there's really no way to. The last three or so generations of my family have been for all intents and purposes white, in that it was their dirty little secret so they wouldn't be split up by the man. The thing most resembling 'official' documentation is a fancy geneology book that links me back to Pocahontas on the English side. Which also means that my ancestors are responsible for the Tobacco industry today, something else I get absolutely nothing for. <grumbles>

I abhor affirmative action too, but I am willing to whore myself out to it if it helps me get a job faster. I just don't understand why you don't have to prove you are <insert minority here> for any of them but MY minority!

I am filling out a job application, under the section where you tell them your race so they can send it to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission it has descriptions of the various races, and lets you choose one. There is: "White - A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East." "Black or African American - A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa." "Hispanic - A person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race." "Asian or Pacific Islander - A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands. This area includes, for example, China, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, and Samoa." "American Indian or Alaskan Native - A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North America, and who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition." Huh?! Now, I am about fifty percent Native American, composed of Cherokee and Sioux tribes, give or take a few percents. It is enough that I would get monies and scholarships and such from the Government if I had one of those neato Tribal Blood Certificate thingies, but my ancestors decided it was an awesome idea to pretend they were all White because they got persecuted less that way. When I am filling out censuses and such, I usually check both White and Native American, I had no idea that you had to 'maintain cultural identification through tribal affiliation' to make the blood in your veins authentic. I live in a pretty damn white community (the sole picture of myself verifies this) and if I am not mistaken about what the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission does, it might up my chances of getting a job significantly if I check the Native American option rather than the White option. The only reason I don't do it, is because if they do want actual proofs, I could get screwed over and they'll call me a liar and I'll lose the job anyway. Does anyone have any experience with this or advice as to what I should do? I cannot check both, so that option is out.

It was me! And I was being obnoxious. Started a rumor though.

Tis a shame, and I now understand why you are so red good fellow, for I have a nine-inch-hoo-hah.

Sir, you tarnish my ignoble reputation! I must demand a duel, only let's not and say we did, because to die for petty words for soldiers, only not their words, but politicians.

Well, I had doubts about this, but if this is going to be as epic as Uwe says it is, I believe him!

Dammit Lucius, you communist pinkoe assmonkey!

On the other hand, going through the game from this direction rather than my schmoozing with the NPCs or outright liking them, it makes me kind of sad to know that Troika bit it while Bioware survived. Writing in this game is so much better than anything I've encountered in a Bio game. Also, it made me really sad when I killed even though I was a total badass about it. And my character is still a total oaf when it comes to picking up the ladeez. Me: "I find the most erotic part of a woman's body is the boobies." Hollywood Girl: "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH, UUUUUNNNNGGGGGHH. That sound familiar? Didn't think so."

Man, I am still missing out on some pretty hefty bonuses, but it is more because my character is a total **** than because I needed them this time around. I am in Hollywood and I did the missions for Vivian, apparently Toreadors and Gangrel don't get along so well, and at the end of our business, rather than rewarding me with the autographed poster and the nifty photo I could sell for some major cashola, she told me my reward was that I did get some blood on the house from Misti out of the deal, but still. Man. Wasn't even PhD.

Well, there's a marked difference between pixelated violence and somebody calling you rather derogatory names. I could see someone contentedly sitting through Pulp Fiction and getting upset when an individual addresses them personally with a racial slur on their way out of the theater. Different ballgame when you're the target. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mother****ing idiot shut the **** up.

Dudes. LIL POISON! And yeah, as far as M rated games go, Halo series is pretty 'meh'. No sex, no naughty words, gore isn't even as intense as Max Payne, etc., etc.

This is pretty old hat. Unfortunately I still call Fionavar a he more often than not due to habit from the first six months or so I was here. But yeah, people knew about this before the NHL thread. Also one of the admins is too. I can never remember which one though.

Not when your kid is a friggin' celebrity for playing Halo. THAT WAS LIL POISON!!!

So, okay, you live on the internet for a while, and you get plenty of guys making genuine sexist remarks. You learn to ignore them or briefly mock them and move on. You live on it for a while longer, and there are a few guys who like to make "sexist" remarks - chock full o' irony, they are! And then suddenly they breed or something, because there's like millions of them all over the place, eager to show that they're either funny-yet-anti-sexist or so-super-offensive-they-can-piss-people-off-by-saying-things-that-are-offensive or aware-enough-of-sexism-that-they-can-apathetically-make-such-remarks-but-not-super-aware-enough to-acknowledge-the-existence-of-the-other-million-guys-doing-the-same-thing. So you reply to some of them still, but playing along with the game gets old fast, because you've already played that game a lot, and just rolling your virtual li'l eyeballs also gets old fast, because it results in people realizing that you are, in fact, a Monstrous Feminazi With No Sense Of Humor. And when your cover is blown all over the internet, splattered like goo of a sort, if you will, what *are* you going to do ? Start over with a new identity? That's great until you realize that 90% of the people on the board are your former alts - in fact, the whole freaking internet is littered with them because this has happened so many times. It's like the dead spaceship place at the end of that game, I mean the end of that movie - NO SPOILERS. Honestly, nothing personal, it's just a game I really don't have time for any more. Time like I spent composing this reply. Whoops. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I wanted to become completely inhuman too. On the bright side, the dialogue options for a more...animalistic vampire, are a lot of fun. Also, I created a New Gangrel after starting the thread with higher intimidation, and not only managed to get the guy to give me his watch, but also all the money in his wallet beside what he gave me already ($100) and then decided that a mugging wasn't complete if I didn't beat him up too so I took him out to the alley and knocked him out cold. :D

This doesn't mean the game isn't built for Gangrels. It just means some character builds can go trough certain things better than others, or get different rewards and results. You could have an entirely feral Gangrel or a smooth talking Gangrel - but you will be able to play trough as either. Even without Persuasion, stealth, intimidation, bribing and brute forcing your way into things are quite possible. If you want to see how a Gangrel can be developed into a well rounded character (even with Persuasion) I suggest reading this guide, unfortunately with some spoilers: http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/vampire_tmb.txt Unfortunately, no. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> GameFAQs doesn't allow direct linking. Things have gotten better now. My strength and brawling attributes are both at four now, and my protean discipline is also at four. I am mowing pretty much everything down. On the Elizabeth Dane, I killed every single officer for the first time, and only had to take cover once. It was amusing having LaCroix tell me I was even more wreckless than the Sabaat. I have a new problem though, I can't seem to get my Humanity below three no matter how many bad options I choose and how many humans I kill. Is it supposed to be this way or have I hit some bug or other?
