He was banned for being awesome. Lunar has saved his post I think.

[CinnamonStar]

[color=#ff0099][font=comic sans ms,cursive]Alright then Garazza, you have a song now.

Is everyone fine with having the first issue on the 15th?
That means: deadline Friday, the 13th?

Also, if anyone wants to know why Rodrigo was banned exactly, I can give you the official version, but I prefer to talk about it outside of this thread.[/font][/color]

[/quote]I know why, I just want to know if you agree with the ruling. :\

And I should be able to get the review done by the 13th.

[size=3][color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Wait, I'm still unclear on WHY. I mean, I know Frunk and...[/font][/color][color=#ff0000][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][i]HER[/i][/font][/color][color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]...Went on a crazy banning spree, but other than that, I'm out-of-the-loop. A week of Persona 3 Portable can do that.[/font][/color][/size]

I could write a review on C32 but it hasn't been revealed yet, and won't be until after the due date, most likely =/

[Agro]

...oh god I wish we could have had an April fools issue. Then we could have had some weird references in each of Dharc and Desu's pieces that make us think they're talking about each other whenever they refer to a person.

...Sounds like too much of a hassle then.
What about Fableds, are you still alright with writing us a few lines about proper Deck-building and such?

[/quote][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive]Yeah.:/ We should've had one.T_T
Also, do you mean that you'll be able to have your review on that Icarus game, plus some written/card/fanfic review out by the 13th or only one of those? Either is fine, but we kind of need to know.^^'
For a minute I thought that we could just make this a special edition with a theme (aka flirting advice or something like that) and make everyone of us drop some terrible advice on some issues. [/font][/color]

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][color=#8b4513]...We should have the April Fool's issue anyway. After all, isn't the greatest April Fools prank ever doing April Fools pranks NOT on April 1st?[/color][/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][color=#8b4513]And I think that we should have a review of 32, since C32 was just announced.[/color][/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][color=#8B4513]Perhaps we should also do an obituary for Roddy? If so, I'd say that we should all put something in there about him, rather than making it someone's "section".[/color][/font][/size]


[color=#8B4513][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][size=3]EDIT: First draft of "Dharc and Mysterious"[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#8B4513][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][size=3][spoiler=Read It][/size][/font][/color]

[size=5][color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]How to be (un)Successful in Courting the Being whom you are Attracted To[/font][/color][/size]


[color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3]Hello all, it’s Dharc here. Now listen, I wanted to talk to you about something…Romance. Yes, we’re all familiar with that, aren’t we? We’ve all felt at a loss in that regard at least once, right? Well, never fear, for Dharc is here![/size][/font][/color]
[color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3]Now, I’d like to say that, when it comes to romance I am an EXPERT. Trust me, the amount of women (and men) that I have charmed cannot be counted! So, I’m here to tell you about how you can be just like me![/size][/font][/color]

[color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]STEP 1[/b]: Identify the object of your affection. Self-explanatory.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]STEP 2[/b]: Distance yourself as far away from them as possible. Make no attempt to communicate with them, and if they try to initiate conversation, you must act like the common octopus and morph into a red coloration, so as to seem threatening. Then, they will retreat out of fear. If this does not work, then feel free to squirt liquids at them to obscure their vision, allowing you to escape. Yes, the octopus truly is a master of romance…[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]STEP 3[/b]: Develop as strong of feelings of attachment, dependence, and affection as possible toward them. This way, they can know that your actions in Step 2 were merely meant to mimic an octopus, and they will begin to fall in love with your enormous knowledge of mollusks.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]STEP 4[/b]: Become as clingy as possible, much like an octopus with its suction cup-bearing tentacles. This shows the person that [i]a[/i]) you truly and deeply care for them, and [i]b[/i]), you know a lot about octopi.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]STEP 5[/b]: Play as many dating sims, visual novels, and eroges as possible, much like the blue-ringed octopus does. Then, as you are playing, think of yourself as the main character, and the object of your affection as your favorite love interest.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]STEP 6[/b]: Think about dying alone, and everything else that is truly and utterly depressing. (NOTE: This tactic is derived from the mating habits of squids, as opposed to octopi.)[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]STEP 7[/b]: Acquire their phone number from someone else.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]STEP 8[/b]: Send a long message about your depressing thoughts to them via text message. Now, pay close attention, as this is where it gets technical—In the middle of the message, try to guilt them into forming a relationship with you. Good ways to accomplish this are to threaten suicide or murder if you never find anyone who loves you.[/size][/font][/color]

Yeah, I'm still on for Fableds and I could do card reviews and such of certain cards with time.

... That reminds me, I forgot to post my random card of the day today.

If it makes you feel better I think you'd be a better choice than Agro.

[CinnamonStar]

I'm alright with Rodrigo continuing to contribute to this, but is he so important that we need an "obituary" for him?=S

Also, is there someone who doesn't have anything to do so far/isn't clear on what to do?

Sounds good, but keep in mind that Dharc is already doing "custom card of the week".
Do you...want me to put you up for a TCg review then, or is it someone else I'm missing? Also, do you have a broad idea on how long your Fabled thing will be more or less?

Because from the way it looks, I'm probably going to host the first issue, so I kind of need to know how long everyone's parts will be.^^'

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][color=#8b4513][size=3]My "romance" article is up; don't know what you guys want me to change about it.[/size][/color][/font]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][color=#8b4513][size=3]And the thing with an obituary for Rodrigo is...Well, what regular on this site didn't know Rodrigo? He touched so many people, and has been an integral member of the site for so long. Plus, he had the most epic ROW ROW FIGHT THA POWAH-inducing speech ever.[/size][/color][/font]

[Agro]

Plus an obituary for Rodrigo, if properly written, would be absolutely hilarious.

[Kazooie]

Since Black is away for the weekend and can't get to his comp, I offered to ferry his answers for him, hope that isn't a problem. ^^''

He says once he gets back, he should be able to do a TCG thing, and that his Fabled thingy reached about 1-2 pages in Word.

And he doesn't think you all should do an obituary for Rodrigo, since he already came back and made his own eulogy.

He shouldn't get two.

[color=#0000CD]Am I the only one who didn't actually care much for the guy? He never seemed that great to me. :/[/color]

Alright, good good :3

That leaves me with the "wanted" thingy and a few other riddle-ish sort of stuff. I'm going to post something tonight.

And I have mixed feelings towards the Rodrigo obituary.:/
First, yeah, he didn't die or anything. And secondly, it'd mean putting a member forward, even though there are IDK-how-many people who banned. I wouldn't really like people saying "oh cool, do Ragnarok next pls!=D.

If some of you really want to do it, you can type something up, but I'm not going to do it.:/ Or we take the middle ground and ask a few members about what they think about the ban and give us a few lines about how much they miss him?=S I don't know...

Also, I totally forgot about something on the last page...>.< So, who's going to do that C32 Marine Dragon Vice thingy and should we even put it into the show? From what I heard, it's only a preview and I...don't know if there's a lot to say about it.

It's easier to do with fandoms like Yugioh, but then again, we already have A LOT of Yugioh for now...

Also, another thing I noticed is that we only have one interview so far and the ones with Alice and wtfaukorean have fallen out...
