To those who argue about Lone Assassin

[Nicholi]

Alright clean the fecal matter from out of your ears and listen. You apparantly have know idea what to do. The screenings are in NO WAY RELATED TO THE STORY. The only purpose they serve is to test the rolplaying skill of an indivdual. I want to point out that this is not like your garden variety RPG. This isn't Final Fantasy, so you can't pull gigantic weapons out of nowhere or cast Firaga at your whim. There are no cute fuzzy enemies who drop massive amounts of gold and magical rings. This is not Dragonball Z, so you can go Uber Super Saiyin 12. YOU ARE MORTAL. Lets think carefully for a moment here. When was the last time you saw a 12 year old male carry near 100 lbs. of weapons? DON"T CARRY ANYTHING YOU WON"T USE. I don't want you to have some random item you never plan to use. I am screening because It's my turn for screening. Whitakker is not part of the screening roster. If you want to just have a fight for sheer brutality, then you need to think again. When you are screened, you will be expected to Roleplay to the best of your ability, not try to beat the crap out of someone. One very important thing I know you haven't done, considering that I have to say something to you every day, is to READ THE COMPILATION OF ToP!!!!! I cannot stress this enough. It's there for a reason and you are to read it before making a character sheet or anything else. I only want to see you post an improved version of your character sheet or on your screening when I start it. If you have anything that you wish to know, read the compilation, or PM myself or Thanatos.

[Hanson Crawford]

If you don't believe him about the reading the Compilation thing, quote the scrolling message thing on the home page:

A word from Thanatos "Read the Compilation of Phantomile... ...OR I'LL KILL YOU!!!"

[Lone Assassin]

LISTEN UP!!!

[Lone Assassin]

I understand Whitakker. Makes sense. I'll find some way to put you into my story then. But let me tell something. Hark my words. Isn't it MY choice if I decide what I consider part of MY story. You can pretend it [the screening] has no value in the long (or short) run, but between me and myself I do. Hear my words, all who read this. On Sept. 21st of the year 2005, I shall personally tell Nicholi my Character's story. You may then ask him or myself about my true bio. As hard as it seems that I'm not truly mad, I' really not. I too, am trying to get my point across.

P.S.Please pardon the occasional Old English, but it has a certain "qualite speciale"

[Thanatos]

Man, I love this drama. I've never seen a situation quite like this before--either the community's grown particularly edgy in this period of stagnation, or our latest newcomer is overly confrontational. Whatever it is, it certainly makes my occasional visits here more interesting.

Listen to these points and heed them well. I have a ridiculously copious amount of authority, and I'm never afraid to use it.

Firstly, screenings have no impact on the actual storyline. The administration has every right to assign sparring partners, and if your request has been denied, I would suggest you simply adjust accordingly.

Secondly, your current character sheet is, to be blunt, blatantly unrealistic. This is coming from the hundred-year-old metallic android. While I won't comment on specifics until the character has been revised, there are many things that will need to be fixed.

Thirdly, I will again request that you include me in this collaboration effort. I am not only a prominent member of the website--I am chief story coordinator, and absolutely nothing will be integrated into the plotline without my express permission.

I'm sure we can work this out in as friendly and mutually beneficial a manner possible. In case you haven't noticed, Nicholi sometimes displays a disturbing amount of tact.

Still, conduct yourself as you will. I can only offer advice.

[Lone Assassin]

Pretend this is in bold.

On Sept. 21st of the year 2005, I shall personally tell Nicholi my Character's story. You may then ask him or myself about my true bio. As hard as it seems that I'm not truly mad, I' really not. I too, am trying to get my point across.

[Hanson Crawford]

Um, my dear friend, L.A. I am going to attempt to spair you some aggrevation. Now, I myself did what you are doing. I was not nearly as public about it as you are, but I did. I tried to follow my own rules. Didn't work.

You said earlier in the thread 'Look I'm just trying to have my own story too.' (can't figure out how to quote people). There's one thing you are on the wrong base on. YOU cannot have YOUR story. None of us can. We can participate in the story Nicholi and Thanatos have created. They do not bend rules. I know this. Thanatos doesn't even alter his story for other people. It's just something you accept when you come here. You get used to it after awhile. And then it gets fun! ;D

[Whitakker]

True words from a man who has long since accepted his fate.

LA, if you haven't noticed, this isn't a democracy we here at ToP are subjugated to. It's a dictatorship shared betwixt Nicholi and Thanatos. It's their world, and we just live in it. Accept and adapt. Though I'm flattered that you think I'm important enough to be involved in anything around here(*casts sidelong glance at certain people*). Perhaps we can have a battle in the Arena for fun, instead. What think?

[Rune]

We don't just live in their world; we do help to shape it. But it's similar to earth. Try telling God that you are just going to make your own little earth, and that He should let you do your thing, and see how He responds. And try acting like a blatant rebel with Him. He'll smite your butt.

But really, Lo. Ass., this isn't one of those sites where you just show up and do what you please. You're going to have to at least look like you know what you're doing here, and, honestly, right now, you don't. A ton of equipment (literally), hair that changes color when you fight, your own story, breaking the Compilation rules just because you think it'd be a nice touch of flavor... yeah, right.

*I have ninja stars, a katana, a big broadsword, a bow and arrow, a bazooka, a Cappuccino machine, an entire race of alien androids, and Metal Gear Rex packed away on my twelve-year-old frame. Oh, did I mention that, when I get mad, I turn all muscular and green and start hurling the tanks that... wait... aren't even ON this continent. I also have a robot dog. His name is Barf.*

It's not going to cut it, pal. Sorry for being absolutely rude with you. Looks like Nicholi isn't the only one that left his tact at home this morning.

--EDIT--

Oh, yeah, almost forgot, if you're going to use Old English, at least use it right. You can't just add -eth to the end of select words in a sentence and claim to know Old English. Trust me, I knoweth what I'm talking about. Ask anyone around here... I don't cut anyone slack when it comes to knowing how to communicate. Which is a category, btw, where you now find yourself falling off of my A-List.

[Lone Assassin]

It seems you hath not a clue as to how old english or sarcasm work. At first, I honestly believed you until I realized that the green muscular dude you speak of is the Hulk. Try not to be so esoteric. Also, I tried to work on it some, but thanatos will have to help there. Nevertheless, I try again to emphasize the fact I'm not mad, just frusteratated.

Remember this:

On Sept. 21st of the year 2005, I shall personally tell Nicholi my Character's story. You may then ask him or myself about my true bio.

[Rune]

Nicholi very well might slit your throat before September 21st, and I couldn't blame him.

Uh-oh, he used esoteric, SOMEONE has a dictionary handy. But I understand, it's important to pretend like you're intelligent while you ruthlessly invade a system that you just don't seem to understand. And, just so you know, invasions aren't usually welcomed with open arms.

And who hath not a clue about Olde English and sarcasm? Thou, and thy bedridden self, may remove thyself from mine own presence instantaneously... before I go all Hulketh on thine butt. Yeah, if you don't catch the sarcasm this time, tough luck.

And stop trying to be cryptic. On September 21st of the year 2005... really, I'm glad you added that in there, or I might have thought you planned to wait for 20-odd years before revealing your ever-so-mysterious bio. That way, the fecal buildup in your ears would have time to mature into an actual living, breathing monster, which you could then teach terrible Old English and spray-paint its hair red. So, having done so, you would have your own little creature to play with, so you wouldn't feel lonely when you told us your bio and found yourself locked inside a small room with no windows, complete with padded walls.

Now, really, I'm not trying to be mean. But this is a roleplaying community. Nicholi and Thanatos are the heads of this community. You listen to them, you follow the rules, or you end up with... wait for it... A WHOLE THREAD OF PEOPLE TELLING YOU OFF.

Ah, the little rebel. When will he learn?

[Lone Assassin]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, that jest brought upon me such a fit of merriment and inconceivable laughter at thy attempt insult my character, speech, and myself. Number one, no dictionary. Number two, I do that [of 2005] out of a perfectionist attitude (and to make sure you effusivly [fully] understand what I mean to say. The "big words" are for the elect for those who read this). Number three, dragons/any other reptile have no hair on their heads, torso, or tail thank ye very much. Number four, believe the sarcasim is now obvious.

[Rune]

Wow, you're just full of witticisms, eh?

[Whitakker]

I'm gonna say this only once, LA...

GET OVER YOURSELF. You can't think that everyone will treat you like a sultan just because you "challenge the system". Just the opposite: most people will resent you intensely. My respect for you is dying fast, my friend. I am asking you to see the light.

btw...a laptop? Where do you get a laptop in a technologically challenged world? There's probably not enough electricity on the Continent to power it.

And, in conclusion, I shall repeat what everyone here has been screaming at you: Read the Compilation of ToP. All of it. It's in the Game-Related, if you don't know.

[Lone Assassin]

In contrast to what I said earlier, I will tell my story to Thanatos. [glow=red,2,300]OR BETTER YET, JUST ASK ME.[/glow]

And in answer to thy inquiry, I don't! (Hint Hint: just ask me by pm)
