Child of Flame

Just how late was this order? Doesn't this game hinge on the fact that orders are given simultaneously? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Like an hour or two after the deadline...when I had internet access.

Well yeah Cathryn, but the male ones are missing the critical element to make them over sexualized. The boobs. There can be no over sexualization, or nay, even any attractiveness without boobs. Moobs? Perish the thought. This message brought to you courtesy of Zap Brannigan.

They could've also milked something else if you know what I mean! *wink* *wink* *nudge*

I don't think so. Basically: Scantily clad lady in catsuit looking string bikini, straddling adonis looking male, grinding her crotch on his and embracing. That's pretty extreme as American ads go.

HAWT! But in all seriousness, the new Sketcher's ads are worse than anything I've ever seen in a videogame (Hentai excluded, though I haven't played those, just read the SA reviews ). The first time I saw one of those, I thought to myself, "They're selling shoes?!!"

I'm guessing your german considering that i didn't understand "Gott Im Himmel?" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I knew that, but only from reading my annotated version of Dracula. 1. As for this poll, screw these options. 2. Get Beyond Good & Evil. (Dirt cheap by now, but a very modern looking game considering it's only a year old. ) 3. Once you finish Beyond Good & Evil, get either Bloodlines (minorly flawed, but very cheap, and an excellent roleplaying experience), Psychonauts (another excellent game that, similar to Beyond Good & Evil, lacked mass market appeal, cheaper than full price, but somewhat expensive still), or Oddworld: Stranger's Wraith (the last Oddworld game ever, but it's totally awesome...probably still fairly expensive).

I like the ghosties more than the Bone Collectors. I also think that the good Pater John can totally take on the Don even if the rest of you get the Final Death. Totally. Trask Lives! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In really, really tight pants!

Probably not. I'll be out at museums with the family.

What the hell did you expect. x600 is the low end card of ATi's new lineup IIRC. Probably similar to a 9800. I've got a 9600XT and I've been really happy with it. Good card.

It's four dots, and Ender's going by Medieval rules, so I should be able to at least repel him (so sayeth the Ender).

Advantage: -Giovanni dont normally have Auspex and so the Elder is more likely to trust that we really are going to give him the sword. Flaws: -If there are security cams in the house(which we can safely asume), they will see through the obuscate and hit the alarm. -If we use Aleks technomagic or hacking to disable the cameras, they will know we're up to something. Conclusion It is probably better to just walk in normally and strike quickly with everything we've got. Jags or whoever has celerity+melee, The padre with his faith mojo, the rest with our respective talents. OR... my personnal favorite :D Fill the Giovanni van with a couple of big barrels of fertiliser and diesel fuel, put a clamp on the gas pedal and drive it up ro the mansion. Its whoring it, yes, but it would work. I doubt Ender is going to let us do it though, he would probably like something more dramatic " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What if Alek just crashes the computers? It would look just like a normal system failure. That or I can just cast Obfuscate 2/Celerity/Fortitude on myself, you can go in like I said before, and I can stab the Don in the back with the sword. That leaves the problem of Don Antony thinking something's up when Angelo doesn't show with the rest of us.

I have no idea, schedule this week is sporadic. Would a wooden cross not work in a similar fasion to a stake though?

No, I'm assuming your body was present at the last session, even though you were absent, and we stake you before heading back.

Dunnae think so. I have Celerity too. I also have Obfuscate 3, which means I can impersonate Angelo unless Don Antony has more than 9 or 10 to check my 1337 impersonating skillz0rz with. Melee was also the only combat skill I invested in, I think it's fairly high, if not at least average. Plan could go like this: Walk in with our posse. When Don Antony asks where the good Father is, say he had to leave the group because he could not stomach helping the Giovanni. Father is actually there in guise of Angelo, with magick mojo sword in hand, gets ready to hit it with the Celerity and Fortitude. Ambush the Don, Padre can help you fight, or depending on whether or not he has enough XP to level up Obfuscate by the beginning of this session, make everyone disappear. POOF!

I'll be back later. As a final note, the Good Father has very high True Faith, and believes Antony to be one step up from Satan.

Also, I could walk in pretending to be Angelo, presenting the sword to the Elder. Stick him with it. Then disappear and join up with you guys later.

I'm totally all over the sword, that's what I wanted to do last session anyway. With that, I must leave, as the family is now awake.

I don't remember and I don't have a Character sheet here. Ask Ender. I do believe it is, as it's my only modus of combat besides True Faith. Since when are we storming the Mansion? I thinks I can probably take down teh Giovanni man by Faith alone.

I'll probably be in for this Friday Afternoon. Unless my dad comes up with something to do down here in jolly old Jumala.

Could it not be said that the WTC was a target of considerable economic significance, and the Pentagon was a target of considerable military and government significance? Not acceptable, or not palatable to your civilized senses? As few and as poorly funded of them as there are, compared to a relatively endless flow of troops both US and Israeli, to throw themselves at military targets would not only likely get them killed before they'd even detonated, but also would not instill the same amount of fear that throwing themselves at civvies does. I don't like that they're killing civvies, but I can't help but admire how effective terrarist methods are, similar to how you can't help but admire how well many evil things work. This does not make them right, this does not mean I think what they are doing is just, but I recognize that terrarist methods are the most effective way to get what they want done done. Aside from passive protest, which would get forces such as the US on their side if they're sufficiently persecuted, but most don't have the stomach for that, including most Christians. I've got to do the last of my packing now so I'm sad to say I've got to leave the debate. Assuming it hasn't been locked when I get back in nine days (yeah, sure) I'll pick up where I left off.

I invested heavily in insight during character creation. Unfortunately this scares off all females not wanting to complain to you about the current realationship they're in, before telling you what a nice guy you are, and how they wish they could find someone like you.

That doesn't justify terrorism. You make really weak excuses. I asked you what the correct decision would have been after WW2. You provide none. Sources? Are you defending the 9/11 terrorists? It sure sounds like you are. The WTC is a commercial building staffed by civilians. They murdered civilians and you equate that to policy of the US? Sure, we go out of the way to bomb targets that have zero military relevance and murder thousands of civilians. Find one instance of it. You've flat out made false statements. I can't call you a liar, but we both know the reality of the situation. That doesn't make it true, but you seem quick to discount murder and rush to it's defense. I wonder why that would be? What's your motivation here? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ender, with that military bit you left yourself totally wide open. Hiroshima, Nagasaki. Keep in mind I am pretty much on your side here, this situation is messed. Edit: Also, Lone Wolf's point is teh win. WTC wasn't not about the civvies. It was about instilling fear and crippling economy. I would consider Terrarism a method of war if only because 'civilized' war isn't feasible on the kind of shoe string budget Terrarist organizations operate on. It's still wrong to kill civvies, but when you're fighting a war from a third world country, against troops from a 500lb Gorilla or a nation like the US, there's not many other feasible methods of waging war other than terrarism.

INTERNETS HIGH FIVE!!!

Ditto. Whether or not I'd perform a gay marriage ceremony depends on whether or not it fits the doctrine of the church I'd be working at at the time. After all, it'd be kind of stupid to get a doctorate via seminary, be all ready and rearin' to go make a difference in the world, and get fired over a silly controversy.

I thought so. The fundies get on my nerves, but they are good for a laugh now and again.
