What, no "Criminal foresight in the playground" for me? I get how it is.

Now, honestly, well done all, and special congratulations to I'm Da Rogue! for her victory.

As has been suggrsted by myself before, and suggested already in the main discussion thread, I still nominate "weaponry in the playground" for the next contest.

We may want to limit it to mideval weapons, or weapons in the PHB.
Possible slots:

Longsword
Rapier
Greatsword
Greataxe
Polearm
Bow
Crossbow
Lance

~~~
Anti-matter Cannon - just for fun.

Kudos to the winners. I'm looking forward to the acceptance speaches.

For weapons..why not generalize them a little more. Some are a little too close to each other in my eye.

Longword & Greatsword & Rapier = Sword
Polearm & Lance = Spear
Greataxe & hatchets = Axe
Many types of bows for = Bow
Same with crossbows = Crossbow
Hand to hand or bards or wizarding folk = Unarmed

Otherwise you have to select of categories and can't really debate them.

Like for example say if Indy and I were nominated for Greatsword. (Of course, neither of us usually carries a sword.....)
Indy - I'm most like the greatsword because blah..blah..blah
Supagoof - No, I'm most like the greatsword because blah..blah..blah
Indy - Well, I have to say that's not such a great sword now is it.
Supagoof - True, more like a long sword...okay I'll go switch to that category.

edit: Ooh, colors would be fun too. *Looks at Purple Gelatenous Cube of Doom and Mr. Edward Nigma*

A few ideas for the next competition (some I'm just agreeing with, some are original)

Colors in the Playground (I'd run for Green)
Weapons in the Playground (I'd run for Longbow)
Goblins (the webcomic) in the Playground (I'd run for Big Ears)
Animals in the Playground (I'd run for Wolf)
Schools of Magic in the Playground

I may come up with more later.

Congratulations to all of the winners!

I thought of quiting from my Thief nomination, because it fitted you more than me.

But then I saw the trophy...
Oh, thanatos, you should come to my place to see it one day. It's so shiny... and golden and.. did I mention shiny???:smallamused:

Black/gray fit me well, since I'm dressed like a rogue, but I won't go for that.

I want to spend some time alone with my new trophy start working again, the "Kiss/Kill" inn is so crowded these days it's a shame not to pickpocket some fools.

So, VOTE THANATOS FOR BLACK ITP!!

Did you guys know thanatos (Θάνατος) means death?

And he's dressed in black all the time.
It's obvious he'll win it.

CASTARAS FOR BLUE IN THE PLAYGROUND!

Not only do I wear blue alot, but I am also alot like the colour blue in personality!

How?

Simple! Remember that old Magic the Gathering "What colour are you?" quiz?

Lets have a look at what it said:


You value knowledge, logic, and deceit. (Knowledge? Definitely. Logic? So much fun to use. Deceit? ...I'll pass on that.) You love to pursue wisdom but also to manipulate and deceive. (Pursue wisdom, sure. Learn things. Not really a manipulative sort though...<.<) At your best, you are brilliant and progressive. (Aye, ya) At your worst, you are treacherous and cold. (oui, oui) Your symbol is a water droplet. (I prefer ice to water really...But water's cool. Ice is awesome though.) Your enemies are green and red. (Don't really like the colour green that much...Depends on the red whether I really like it...Dark reds are cool, and reds with hints of purple[Added blue!] are cool as well)

*nod* See? Nearly all those things I am like.

Plus, I like blue! :smallbiggrin:


So vote Castaras for blue!

DraPrime
2007-10-13, 12:19 PM
Black/gray fit me well, since I'm dressed like a rogue, but I won't go for that.

Now why would you want to campaign for blue? :smalltongue:

You're alot more like Grey or Black. More Grey, I'd say. Grey brings to mind for me Deceitful, treacherous, Cunning, Stealth. All words I'd use to describe you. Especially in werewolf. :smallamused:

Although...I shouldn't really start campaigning now...Wouldn't be logical to start campaigning before we know for certain the next contest is colours. :smallwink:

Shadow
2007-10-13, 12:46 PM
Knowledge, Logic, Deceit, Wisdom, Manipulation, Brilliant, Progressive, Treacherous, and Cold were the adjectives used to descibe blue.
Do you really have to ask?

Anyway, I don't plan onn campaigning for any more.
If I happen to get nominated for something I may stop in the discussion thread and say a very few words, but after Nale, I'm done campaigning.

How so, praytell? Green is a symbol of life, of nature, and of beauty. I have always loved the serenity and peace of nature. Life, beauty, and liberty are what I stand for as a Paladin of Freedom/Bard. Green, like Banjo, is a state of mind, a state in which all is clear and natural. Just because I'm not a ranger or a druid doesn't mean that Green doesn't represent me. Since I was of an age that I was able to comprehend and recognize color, Green was my preference, and it always shall be. Tell me, how do I not resemble green, and how do you?

True, 'tis colors and not favorite colors, but I was simply explaining that it IS my favorite because it stands for what I stand for.

Also, white seems to be more of a neutral color to me; white is not only achromatic, but by definition it is the presence of all colors in the spectrum. It encompasses all of the colors, therefore all aspects of each color; love and hate, war and peace, so on and so forth. I don't see how a Chaotic Good musical paladin is represented by white more than green.

I also don't see how having a beautiful symbol of nature as my avatar matters. Green embodies nature and beauty, and just because a sunset isn't green doesn't mean that it can't be a symbol of Green.

Thanatos 51-50

must.... resisit... urge.... to campaign... here...
*failure*

It always bothered me that Black has been assosciated with Evil. They just don't fit together, for me. IF you've read (any of) the Recluse Saga, you know what I'mgoing to drive at, here.

Black, while not technically a color is an abscence of light. The way we see is various wavelengths of electromagnetisim bouncing off various objects and striking our eyes. when we see something black, we are, in fact, receiving no visible wavelengths from the object we are observing. This can lead to oneof two observations about black. The firsst is detailed in Recluse:

Black can be representative of order. This is becuase black excludes everything from it. And doing so, being all-exclusive,is the only way one can be truly ordered. And, while I am a Chaotic Rogue, I have enough order in me to be a cleric, which is more ordered than most chaotic beings. Aye, 'tis true that I lean towards the Neutral end of the spectrum, in fact.

Black can also be represntative of Good. Lets face it, I admit that I'm good-aligned. The color black is quite famous for its low albedio, or reflectivity. It absorbs Heat, light and various other energy forms without immediatly turning it around and doling it out (which other, bright colors, such as white and yellow are all too happy to do). It takes our battering for as, acting as a shield. Its little known, that, IRL, I exhibit Martyr-ish tendancies.

Black can also, as an extension of Order, represent Death (Hey, look, REcluse-readers, I'mcoming back to you, sorry about that "good" tangent!). Becuase, as it rejects everything, it is purely Ordered, and as it absorbs energy, it is all-encompassing. Death fits this bill to a tee. It rejects outsides from knowing about it, ut will, eventually, claim all energy, and absorb it into itself. I am forced to believe this is where Black gets its Evil rep -
(Black=Death, Death=Evil, therefore, Black=Evil.) - People's own fear of Death.

I have always had a Death complex (IRL, my intials are DEF, just imagine a (American) elementary school kid pronoiuncing "deaf", the most common mis-pronunciation is, of course, "Death". I was called Death even in my early years.
Also, Thanatos MEANS Death in Greek, a fact our good I'm Da Rogue has clearly testified to.

It is for these reasons I am suited to be Black itp.

must.... resisit... urge.... to campaing... here...
*failure*

It always bothered me that Black has been assosciated with Evil. They just don't fit together, for me. IF you've read (any of) the Recluse Saga, you know what I'mgoing to drive at, here.

Black, while not technically a color is an abscence of light. The way we see is various wavelengths of electromagnetisim bouncing off various objects and striking our eyes. when we see something black, we are, in fact, receiving no visible wavelengths from the object we are observing. This can lead to oneof two observations about black. The firsst is detailed in Recluse:

Black can be representative of order. This is becuase black excludes everything from it. And doing so, being all-exclusive,is the only way one can be truly ordered. And, while I am a Chaotic Rogue, I have enough order in me to be a cleric, which is more ordered than most chaotic beings. Aye, 'tis true that I lean towards the Neutral end of the spectrum, in fact.

Black can also be represntative of Good. Lets face it, I admit that I'm good-aligned. The color black is quite famous for its low albedio, or reflectivity. It absorbs Heat, light and various other energy forms without immediatly turning it around and doling it out (which other, bright colors, such as white and yellow are all too happy to do). It takes our battering for as, acting as a shield. Its little known, that, IRL, I exhibit Martyr-ish tendancies.

Black can also, as an extension of Order, represent Death (Hey, look, REcluse-readers, I'mcoming back to you, sorry about that "good" tangent!). Becuase, as it rejects everything, it is purely Ordered, and as it absorbs energy, it is all-encompassing. Death fits this bill to a tee.

*thoughtful analysis of why black is associated with evil and why it should not be*

I think black is usually associated with evil just because it's dark. People are frightened when it's too dark to see. If you don't think that's true, walk outdoors in an unfamiliar area at midnight with no sources of light. It's natural to fear the unknown, and because darkness is so concealing people fear that evil lurks in it. Hence, black=dark=unknown=scary=evil.

Also, dragonprime for gray ITP! Though I'd be his competition, I don't feel like campaigning for something right now. However, I reserve the right to change my mind and campaign for gray later.

But thats the boring one everyone uses! Besides,I already got the rogue/darkness angle covered by being a rogue.

It doesn't matter about the accent, 7 out of 8 people won't understand you so what the point you know?

I still stand by the statement, it doesn't matter if you talk it in real life..... I don't know why you said that cause it means nothing to help you out in this. Other then you just announced you have a certain accent (No offense).

Even if I did, the majority of people don't use a certain accent. There are tons of accents (probably more then languages I don't know so don't hold it against me) so the probablity that people here use the same accent is NIL!

I was referring to the verbose monolouge about the color black to who I talk. My actual accent is pretty much simple, light Bostonian, and it may have a couple Japanese influences.

What color is always associated happiness?

Yellow.

What color wakes people up in the morning (i.e. sunlight)?

Yellow.

Em wakes everyone in the house up.
Em is happy!
Em is Yellow.

I would think you're a better candidate for Pink in the Playground.

BUT SERIOUSLY, FOLKS!!! Colours in the Playground? How lame is that? How compelling of an argument can people make that they're the best choice for "Orange" in the Playground?
