[Dallas-Dakota]

First post, yay. To be editted.

Wait....

Well, it counts as edit I guess....

DD just realized that he's not really eligble or however you spell it for any of the four catagories. Unless...Nah... Or maybe later. But probably to late for this contest... well good luck everybody!

[Szilard]

I used to be a ghost, as any playgrounder, and I loved it. I'm going to bring back those memories of a year ago, and take my rightful place as Ghost in the playground. So Nominate me, and vote for me.

Boo.:smalltongue:

[Red Sock]

No chance for a new guy to get any awards, is there?

[Lord Herman]

It's easier to win if you're well known, but we've had a few complete newbies win before. Ganurath, for example, won Thog itP just after he'd joined.

Also, welcome! :smallsmile:

[Dr. Bath]

Pssst! I don't think Ganurath won Trog itp (that was Zeb). It mighta been Thog though. :smallwink:

[Lord Herman]

<_<

>_>

You saw nothing.

[Deathslayer7]

well. Put me down for witch. Although Rein has a smexy outfit. Better than mine. I'm jealous. :smalltongue:

Need a new slogan though.

The brooms are a witches best friend thing is old.

[Selrahc]

Nominate me for Zombie. :mitd:

[Lord_Asmodeus]

I shall go for skeleton in the playground, because skeletons are awesome, and I'm awesome. Plus I've played as a skeletal creature in several games, and I'm very skinny, so I find that I identify easily with the skeletal vibe. Also Skeleton Dance! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP1TzHbt7do&feature=related) (I just like the skeleton dance :smallbiggrin:)

[Dr. Bath]

You, sir, have just won my vote. I'm a sucker for old animation. Particularly when dancing is involved in any way.

[EmeraldRose]

Aww..it's too bad I picked dressing up as Leia this year...oh well, I can still vote. :smallbiggrin:

[Allysian]

Yeah, ummmmm, I'm a ghost... OoooOOOooOo. Twasn't that scary.:smalltongue: Vote for me, The Corporal Ghost! :smallwink:

teehee, I like my self-given title, corporal ghost...laugh.:smallbiggrin:

[Shades of Gray]

Is Witch itp also Warlock itp?

If so vote Shades of Gray Warlock itp! Dark magic is my calling... And stuff.

[Collin152]

We all know I'm the baddest witch this side of Salem.
Is there really any contest?
Collin for Witch- Or I'll Mindrape you good!

Artistic Verisimillitude! Corroborrative Detail! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD_XZAb4x3A)

[Lord Herman]

Is Witch itp also Warlock itp?

If so vote Shades of Gray Warlock itp! Dark magic is my calling... And stuff.

If you mean Warlock as the male equivalent of Witch, then yes. This is an equal opportunity contest!

[Collin152]

If you mean Warlock as the male equivalent of Witch, then yes. This is an equal opportunity contest!

As a male witch, I find the term warlock offensive and misused.

[Boo]

No chance for a new guy to get any awards, is there?

You, sir, are to be my arch nemesis. Therefore, I must vote for you.

[Lord Herman]

As a male witch, I find the term warlock offensive and misused.

I take it you subscribe to its anglo-saxon etymology?

[Collin152]

I take it you subscribe to its anglo-saxon etymology?

I subscribe to Wicked Witches monthly, if that counts.

[Lord Herman]

...wicked, you say? Please excuse me as I gather up the rest of the village for some angry mob-related activity.

Anyway, I do think it's best to use the term 'Witch' for both genders in this contest, to prevent confused people from counting Warlock as a separate category.

[Dallas-Dakota]

*starts handing out torches and pitchforks*
Burn the wicked witch!
:smalltongue:

[Deathslayer7]

Hey! I resent that! :smallmad:

*shows I.D. card of being chatoic neutral*

[Allysian]

Yaaay! Witch burning!:smallbiggrin: Again, Vote The Corporal Ghost for Ghost in the Playground! Oooo, he's scaAaAry! :smalltongue:

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

There will be much burning in the SMBGs this week.

Nevertheless I nominate myself for Zombie in the Playground! Do not let this beautiful face and medium vocabulary fool you, I am an undead abomination. I cannot even point at people unless my neck is plugged into some poor sap's headless corpse! That is not good for one's mental stability!

I may not need brains to survive, but I must utilize a beheaded entity every day in order to merely crawl out of bed!

[Mordokai]

I may not need brains to survive, but I must utilize a beheaded entity every day in order to merely crawl out of bed!

This can be interpreted in more than one way :smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Dear god paladin! Have you no shame?

As a severed head, I must use corpses (or robots) for locomotion.

[androgial]

can there be any doubt of my identity as to being a witch. just look. i cast spells, particularly animating dead. i have a snake by my side. i have an allergy to operating during daylight. i seek out week members to gut and sacrifice to my deity for more power.....well thats because tiamat likes that sort of thing but meh it works. dont think that being a kobold exludes one from being a witch....most of us are witches anyway.

EDIT: oh yeah campaign slogan---vote me for witch in the playground or ill animate your mother-in-law to expound your deficinces forever

[Mordokai]

Dear god paladin! Have you no shame?

As a severed head, I must use corpses (or robots) for locomotion.

*points at antics with certain bard*

Nuff said.

[Deathslayer7]

Nominate deathslayer7 for witch itp. Come on! You know you want to. Why?

This is why.

FEAR THE POWER OF THE BROOMS!!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD8HDta7Z_4)

edit: it gets really good around 5:30s if you want to skip the beginning.

[UncleWolf]

BRAAAAAINS*
(*vote Wolfbane for Zombieitp, Improving the gene pool one person at a time:smalltongue:)

[Uncle Festy]

Yes! I've been waiting for this one for a while! :smallbiggrin:
Now then, I think I'm going to let a good friend of mine take over my campaign…
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd293/Uncle_Festy/NEWARFESTY.png
"I am a zombie. I use zombies for my nefarious purposes. I support zombification in all it's forms. If there's anything to do with zombies, I am involved in it.
In conclusion, vote me for Zombie itp!"

[Selrahc]

BRAAAAAINS*
(*vote Wolfbane for Zombieitp, Improving the gene pool one person at a time:smalltongue:)

Aren't you Baron Samedi? I.E A skeleton rather than a zombie.

[UncleWolf]

Aren't you Baron Samedi? I.E A skeleton rather than a zombie.

Crap, I completely forgot that. Can I change it so I'm running for skeleton instead? (hmmm, it does seem that i'm perfect for skeleton because of the not having a brain and all.)

Of course, I could run for zombieitp because I raise zombies, but it seems kinda weak to me.

[wxdruid]

I already know I'll be nominating Deathslayer for Witch itP, :smallbiggrin:

[Allysian]

Heheheh, selrahc completely destroyed your campaign...:smallamused: Fuuun stuff!:smallsmile: Bye the way, Vote me The Corporeal Ghost for Ghost in the Playground!

[UncleWolf]

There, changed my avatar, now all I have to do is come up with a slogan.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

I am the most likely candidate for Skeleton ITP, because while not always a skeleton, I'm always skeletal. Plus, skeletons are my favorite kind of undead. Besides, Skeletons make the coolest evil/cool or just plain evil cool things, like so:

http://store.drumbum.com/media/skeleton-figurine-guitar.jpg

Edit: And now, I want a shirt with Pac-Mans skeleton on it...

http://www.slipperybrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/pac-man-skeleton.jpg

[Elrond]

Ill be running for warlock in the playground for these such resons
1. I am an elf one of the more arcane races of the world
2. In D&D i have only ever once not played a spell caster
3. On Halloween i normal dress up as a warlock
4. I prepared explosive runes this morning
5. other reasons still to come

P.S Herman could you add this to the first post?

[KerfuffleMach2]

Yeah, I don't think I'd fit for any of these. So, I'd like to throw The Bushranger out there for Ghost in the Playground.

[RabbitHoleLost]

Yes! I've been waiting for this one for a while! :smallbiggrin:
Now then, I think I'm going to let a good friend of mine take over my campaign…

"I am a zombie. I use zombies for my nefarious purposes. I support zombification in all it's forms. If there's anything to do with zombies, I am involved in it.
In conclusion, vote me for Zombie itp!"

RHL supports Uncle Festy as Zombie itP.
You should, too!

[Allysian]

Collin 152 for witch in the playground!!!
Or I'll Mindrape you good!
Don't let it happen to you, the horror, THE HORROR!!!!!:smalleek:
also vote for me, The Corporeal Ghost for Ghost in the Playground!

[Uncle Festy]

RHL supports Uncle Festy as Zombie itP.
You should, too!

((Yay! :smallbiggrin:
Remind me to support you next time you run for something, would you?
Because I know me. I've got a memory like a sieve, and I'll forget it in an instant.
… what was I supposed to remember again?
:smalltongue:))
Uncle Festy pulls out a bucket of brain pieces, and – popping them into his mouth like popcorn – watches his player make a fool of himself.

[Talic]

Zombie in the Playground? THAT BE ME!

Vote Talic for Zombie in the Playground! Why you ask? Well, wouldn't you want a dedicated zombie? A Zombie that knows what it's like to eat a brain?

Come on, let's look at the competition here. We've got a Wolfbane the Skellie, and some secondhand Addam's Family knockoff! Those ain't Zombies. I mean, they will be, once the zombie horde overwhelms they're city... But, here? In the Playground? Come on, you know who the REAL ZOMBAH is.

Talic for Zombie in the playground. Because this Brain ain't big enough for the two of us.

[Selrahc]

Selrahc for Zombie in the Playground: Shambling onwards to victory

[Dallas-Dakota]

Festy for Zombie itp!
Player Zero for Zombie itp! Err, skeleton itp...

And let me remind you all, BR is actually a phantom and not a ghost.:smalltongue:

[Uncle Festy]

"Thank you for your support, Dallas Dakota. When I turn all the playgrounders into zombies, I'll make you a semi free-willed general.
Now then, Talic is it? You think I'm, and I quote, 'some secondhand Addams Family knockoff'? This (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=Festering%20goblin) is my heritage, not your 'Uncle Fester'. Once I was a mindless, rotting thing, shambling with the rest of you. But I clawed my way up to an intelligence once unheard of in the zombie community. I made my zombification a matter of choice. I embraced the negative energy pulsing through my veins – which is more then any other mindless zombie could accomplish. And I inspired more and more zombies to try and achieve greater skills without using a Michael Jackson video.
You preach the power of zombification to the masses, and for that, I commend you. But today you face the master of all things zombie, and if you think you can degrade me by comparing me to… "Uncle Fester"… you are sorely mistaken."
((Hey Uncle – arrogant much?))
"I heard that!"
((And I care because…?))

[Talic]

Some useful resources for those who wish to know more of zombies.

Be Cool to Zombies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZO2w2rMSuY)
Prison + Zombies = Awesome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMnk7lh9M3o)
Killing Time... (http://www.zombiegames.net/)

And the only one of the above not in my favorites list (on my coffee table)...

Science Channel Plug for the Zombie Survival Guide (http://science.discovery.com/stories/zombies.html)

Now, some here like the thought of zombies... Me? I'm a student of all things zombie. When I choose whether or not to get into a RPG? Does it have zombies? Since my first days on the Playground, my avatar has been one of the walking dead, and so shall it remain for all time.

Now, every zombie horde needs numbers... and I need yours. You alone have the power to bring forth a zombie apocalypse, this hallow's eve! Cast forth your votes, and BE HEARD!

[Talic]

"Please. Festy, Festy, Festy. If you claim that Zombification is a matter of choice for any, then you do not know what the TRUE Zombie is.

The true horror of the zombie isn't a flesh eating horde.

It's not about generals and leaders.

No, in a true zombie army, we're all soldiers. All equals.

No, the true horror of the zombie lies in humanity. Why else would every good zombie film, every good zombie movie... Why else would they start by showcasing the humanity of the doomed? Because, zombie isn't a choice. It's a destiny. The horror of the zombie is that your will, your essence, the very humanity that makes you who you are... that can be stripped away, laid bare, and you can become that which you fear. And it can be done without your choice. Without your will.

No the true horror of the zombie is that there is NO choice. Get your zombie general talk out of here. It's all empty campaign promises. All smoke and mirrors. No, in the true zombie army, we are all warriors. All brothers. And your lack of understanding shows what you cannot be."

[EmeraldRose]

*LeiaER saunters in to the thread*

My votes are up for grabs, I haven't made a decision yet on who to back. I will take bribes, cookies, statements of everlasting worship and devotion...nah, make that more cookies. :smallwink:

[Talic]

*Ahem*

*points to cookies that have been carelessly left out by some benefactor who shall remain nameless*

*coughitwasmecough*

[Uncle Festy]

"Did that slip in there? Stupid editor, not catching my mistakes…
No, you're right, Talic. Zombification is not a choice. But the greatest zombies, those who rise above the rest, are those who embrace their horrid fate and channel it into greater acts of evil.
But you have missed an even more important point. You remember all those zombies in those movies? They were defeated, using intelligence and ingenuity. I don't wait for my horde to be destroyed by tactics. I think. I plan. I prepare. And when the final confrontation begins – no, there won't even be any final confrontation. The hero will have been outsmarted by me before he got five steps into my castle of doom.
So keep your mindless undead, fated to be defeated by a kid with a gun and a brain. I'm the new zombie for the new generation, and I'm the one that will finally succeed in taking over the world."
((They're Pinky, they're Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain.))
"Shut up, you!"

[Talic]

"You and I must be watching different zombie movies. Intelligence? Ingenuity? Show me a movie where they've fought back the horde.

Here? Nope. (http://www.zombiemovies.org/jmovies/28-Weeks-Later.html)
Here? Strike 2 (http://www.zombiemovies.org/jmovies/Dawn-of-the-Dead-04.html)
One of these has gotta... nope. (http://www.zombiemovies.org/jmovies/Night-of-the-Living-Dead.html)

No, another hallmark of the zombie is the relentless nature. They never care, they never tire. They never sleep, never slow, never cry. They don't feel pain, or joy, or hysteria. And eventually, no matter how smart you are... No matter how well you plan... You make that mistake. Or perhaps the guy that stood watch while you slept did. No matter. One person's mistake means everyone dies.

No, there are no winners in a zombie outbreak. I mean, maybe, if you classify such things as Land of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead as true zombie movies.

They're not. The first is more an alien movie. The second, a parody of zombie movies.

No, you have missed the most fundamental aspect of the zombie. You have fallen from the wayside, and are nothing more than a free willed meatbag.

What is that aspect? What is it to be a zombie? As any good zombie knows...

BRAINS IS FOR EATIN', NOT FOR THINKIN'!

That is all. Continue with your misguided foolish notions. Continue to hope that things were different. Hope that they change. Hope is the greatest lie wrought on those that feel, that care. Things won't change. Zombies come. People hide behind walls. People starve, or get careless, or get emotional. Zombies feed.

That is the Zombie I know. Take your talk of failure, and keep it where it belongs. In your campaign. I know of no failure here."

[Selrahc]

*Starts eating brains while the other nominees are arguing tactics*

[wxdruid]

I'm curious for the people who want to be nominated for Skeleton itP

Do you put a skull at the top of your christmas tree?

Do fake skulls line your mantle and bookshelves?

Do you reticulate small skeletons in your free time?

[Lord_Asmodeus]

If I had a skull to put on top of my Christmas tree I would certainly try to, but my mom probably wouldn't let me...

Most of the books I read have skulls on the cover, does that count?

I have tiny skeleton models, and I have some Vampire Counts Skeletons and Graveguard (skeletons with awesome armor and swords) and I've always liked the Necron and the Tomb Kings...

[Szilard]

One could also nominate me for Skeleton in the Playground as I am really skinney. (Imagine a guy with a BMI of 13.8ish.)
Seriously.
I am about 5'3", and around 80 lbs. Everyone says I am a skeleton. So nominate Szilard for Skeleton in the Playground.

When the thread comes up anyway.:smalltongue:

Official campaign speech to come.

[Reinholdt]

Hmm. I like Festy and his ideals, but Talic is making really good speeches and points. This is going to be a tougher vote than I thought.

[Selrahc]

Hmm. I like Festy and his ideals, but Talic is making really good speeches. This is going to be a tougher vote than I thought.

Look the thing you really want in a zombie is innovation. The shambling masses of Talic have an appeal, and the smarter zombies proposed by Festy have a place as well. But what is really scary is the wierd and wonderful variety that zombies can come up with.

A zombie with a fresh gimick is the zombie we want, zombie sheep or whales, zombies with wings. Zombies stitched together from the corpses of hundreds, zombies who will harvest the flesh of the dead to put themselves together again. Death is infinite in it's diversity, and I believe zombies should be too.

I represent diversification in zombification. Don't be content with the limited aspects of zombiehood the others offer. Vote Selrahc.

[Allysian]

All skeletons and most zombies are the same. Just bodies. NO. SOUL.
But me, I am the spirit, left behind to torment all peeps, cept my voters :smallbiggrin:.
But am I just a ghost? No. I am The Corporeal Ghost! Vote me for Ghost in the playground!
OOOooOOoo, he's scAaAaAry!

[Talic]

"Innovation? Go join Festy. I don't compromise! In the zombie world I know, there are no zombie repairmen! No! Give me zombies missing eyes, missing arms! Give me a legless zombie, hauling itself across a floor after the living, dragging entrails across the ground! Give me terror! Give me horror! Give me the darkest fears in the recesses of your mind, brought to life, and given form in the dead eyes of your killer, once your friend!

Let the diversity in death be no different than the diversity in life, if you must. Zombie dogs, zombie sharks... For those in true high fantasy, heck, take a zombie troll or hydra. I'm cool with that. But zombies stitching themselves together?

No, zombies aren't on ER for a reason."

[Deathslayer7]

death? where? >_<

[Talic]

Oh, and Deathslayer for Witch in the playground. This playground could use a few more brooms!

[EmeraldRose]

"
*snip*
No, zombies aren't on ER for a reason."

What?!? Zombies? Where?!?! GET 'EM OFF GET'EMOFFGET'EMOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*runs screaming around the thread*

[androgial]

casually walks in and hands emerald rose a box of chocolate chip cookies*

*casts silent image of several zombies and ghost sound*

*pretends to slay the zombies attacking emerald rose with magic, modifying the silent image and ghost sounds as nessecary*


there ya go pretty remember only a high caliber witch like me could have pulled off slaying that many zombies so easily. yaltrik for witch in the playground.

[Moofin Bard]

I shall run for Skeleton in the Playground!

Vote for me!

Why, dare I ask?

Because I whittled a skull out of wood once. It was fun.
(My shop teacher thought it was beautiful.)

I love love love love skeletons.

My favorite movie ever is Nightmare Before Christmas.

I own many Jack t-shirts.

There's a lot more but I can't think of it right now.

[Deathslayer7]

*watches as the zombie horder advances closer to the human brains, ruining androgial's illusions.*
*watches as ER starts screaming again*
*sends broom horde to deal with the zomibe horde* :smallbiggrin:

Zombies vs. Brooms! The Ultimate showdown!

$5 per ticket to see the show. :smallamused:

[Talic]

"If it ain't got a brain, I ain't bitin!"

[EmeraldRose]

Oh, they want human brains? Well, that's easily fixed. I'm not human...

*changes form and blasts the zombies with her breath weapon*

[Deathslayer7]

"If it ain't got a brain, I ain't bitin!"

Awwwww. :smalltongue:

[Talic]

Oh, they want human brains? Well, that's easily fixed. I'm not human...

*changes form and blasts the zombies with her breath weapon*

"Human? No, we are equal opportunity now. Affirmative action demands we get a sampling of all species. Damn unions."

[Moofin Bard]

*stabs with my own rib bone*

Halloween fight!

[EmeraldRose]

"Human? No, we are equal opportunity now. Affirmative action demands we get a sampling of all species. Damn unions."

Well, unless you have winged zombies, good luck getting to me. :smallamused:

*lifts off the ground, buffeting the zombies with her wings*

[Deathslayer7]

*creates an epic spell that adds int to objects*

They have intelligence now. So they have some sort of IQ.

Let the fight begin! :smallbiggrin:

[Talic]

Well, unless you have winged zombies, good luck getting to me. :smallamused:

*lifts off the ground, buffeting the zombies with her wings*

"Birds. Oh, and I heard of a really small zombie that got a mosquito once."

[Talic]

*creates an epic spell that adds int to objects*

They have intelligence now. So they have some sort of IQ.

Let the fight begin! :smallbiggrin:

"Contrary to popular opinion, it's not the thought that counts. It's the squishy feeling and the tasty tasty brainy taste."

[EmeraldRose]

*scoffs*

Birds? I'll roast them and let the others have a snack. Also, let me just say, that should I somehow be turned into a zombie, I'd find myself unable to actually vote for anyone.

*roasts a few more zombies just for fun*

[Talic]

"You want a free pass!? In horror!? PREPOSTEROUS! Where's the tension in a horror you can't die in? Where's the chill, the deep dropping out in the pit of your stomach? Where's the terror? You don't deal with zombies unless you want to deal with horror! Now, either stop roasting my zombies, or stay still while the zombie pixie gets up there!"

[EmeraldRose]

Fine. I'll stop roasting zombies. Until the next time I get attacked anyway. :smallamused:

[Selrahc]

Well, unless you have winged zombies, good luck getting to me. :smallamused:

*lifts off the ground, buffeting the zombies with her wings*

Umm... Yo? Flying Zombie Hippo here.

[Moofin Bard]

I needs a skelerton avvie.

(BTW I'm going to be Jack for Halloween. I found THE BEST costume at the thrift store.)

[Talic]

Tell me Moofin, My vote for skeleton is available...

What makes you different from all the other skellies in the running?

[Lord_Asmodeus]

I thought ahead and I already have one :smallbiggrin:

http://i36.tinypic.com/24do94m.png

Vote Lord_Asmodeus as Skeleton in the Playground. I'm skinny enough to be a skeleton.. and I like to dance like one too...

Plus I have a small metal statue of a skeleton on my computer! I swear! And for Halloween I'm going to dress up as a skeleton (a Skeleton soldier no less)

[Talic]

Hmm... all that sounds like good material for skeleton out of the playground...

[Deathslayer7]

very well Talic. If the zombies want my brains, then they need to get through my brooms.

Now Let the epic battle begin!

*sends brooms charging in*

[detrevnisisiht]

ptiTsohg rof em etov
Gather round, young and old, and let me tell you a tale. It is a horrible, marvelous, marvelously horrible tale. It all began when I was a small child. (Read: Right before I joined the forums)I was a happy thing, playing with matches and running with scissors like any small boy would. Then it happened, while walking home from a school trip to a chainsaw factory, I was possessed by a ghost. (And let me say that it is quite the queer feeling, being possessed) The ghost was nice enough, he wanted to ride my body for the sensory output it provided and couldn't very well kill me with his ghostly hands even if he wanted to off me. The nasty side affect of his presence was that I would begin talking backwards in moments of heated emotions. The entire situation sparked in me a great interest in the science of ghosts, and other progressive science fields as well. Soon I went mad in a quest for knowledge and began making discoveries never before seen by the likes of man (Ever heard of an Antimatter microwave? Yeah, didn't think so.) I finally created the greatest of my inventions in the finally days of my life. A time machine! Unfortunately I had forgotten to put a doorknob on the gateway, and in a fever of insanity, mumbling backwards to myself in the heat of the situation, I shot my frail old body out of a gravity cannon at the door, almost sure I would die in my attempts to see the creation of the universe before my demise. As I connected with the door I felt the ghost and myself flying through time, and in the out of body experience the ghost and myself became one. We found ourselves released in a cemetery, and, feeling our anchorage to this world slipping, we looked for a vassal. As luck would have it a small familiar looking boy was walking by with a toy chainsaw.......

*looks around*
*runs away*
"Vote detrevnisisiht for ghost itp!"

[Talic]

very well Talic. If the zombies want my brains, then they need to get through my brooms.

Now Let the epic battle begin!

*sends brooms charging in*

*continues to feed on other mooks, as the ready targets need the horde*

[Moofin Bard]

http://www.deviantart.com/minish/main/blank.png

That.

Plus I'm super tall and skinny.

Anything I eat goes right through me.

I have no muscles.

I'm being Jack for Halloween.

I've carved a wooden skeleton.

I like the night better than the day?

[wxdruid]

Here are some interesting pictures (http://www.ludd.luth.se/~silver_p/NewSedlec/index.htm). My brother sent me the link.

i already have my votes down to a tee Talic.

[Szilard]

Ug, my computer screwed up and now I have to retype my campaign speech.:smallsigh:

The gist was that I have a BMI of 14, I am super skinney, I made Lord Asmodeus's skeleton avatar, and everyone should nominate me for Skeleton in the Playground. And if you are going to nominate Lord Asmodeus, you might as well nominate me as well.

[Uncle Festy]

Look the thing you really want in a zombie is innovation. The shambling masses of Talic have an appeal, and the smarter zombies proposed by Festy have a place as well. But what is really scary is the wierd and wonderful variety that zombies can come up with.

A zombie with a fresh gimick is the zombie we want, zombie sheep or whales, zombies with wings. Zombies stitched together from the corpses of hundreds, zombies who will harvest the flesh of the dead to put themselves together again. Death is infinite in it's diversity, and I believe zombies should be too.

I represent diversification in zombification. Don't be content with the limited aspects of zombiehood the others offer. Vote Selrahc.

"Pah. You want to talk diversity? Talk to my zombie horde, which currently includes the Kobold Zombie Inquisition, an undead talking cat named Mr. Jingles, my player, and reality itself."

[Allysian]

Bushranger, aren't you a phantom? Don't take this award away from me!!:smallfrown:
Please, everyone! Vote me The Corporeal Ghost for Ghost in the Playground!! Pleaaase! I need this...meep.:smallfrown:

[Collin152]

Collin, The Wicked Witch of the Wherever-He-Pleases, would like to remind the other contendors for Witch in the Playground that the mind is a terrible thing to waste... and waste it will if you continue to oppose me.

Collin for WitchITP, or your minds will be as the snow of July.

[Dr. Bath]

PAH! Bushranger. A ghost?

PAH I SAY!

You should be voting for me. Ever wonder how a bathtub got to do all this talking and being a doctor and such? No?

...damn.

WELL I'M GOING TO TELL YOU ANYWAY.

Haunted. Bathtub. That's right.

None of this stereotypical 'WoooOOoo' or 'ectoplasm' (mo' like blechtoplasm. >_> <_<) business.

I'm just a spirit trying to get on with my life post-death.

The fact that Bushranger can become corpreal proves that he's as much a ghost as my post-humous posterior is made of flesh (it isn't)

Dear Sir and Misses of the playground,
I have notices that this halloween has a ghost itp award.
As clear master of the art of passing through objects and
being focused on things like a ghost who cannot leave this
world for the next because of unfinished business, I believe
that I am a clear canidate for this award. Vote for me.

BLUE UMBRELLA FOR SKELETON IN THE PLAYGROUND!

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Meh. Random pictures you find on the internet don't mean we should vote for you. Like for instance, I could show this:http://www.booksillustrated.com/UserFiles/Image/illustrators/Paul%20Kidby/I846e.jpgBut it doesn't mean people should vote for me.

No but awesome pictures of awesome skeletons prove how much I love skeletons, how cool I think they are, and how much I identify with them, thus proving that I am worthy to be the skeleton... in the playground. I think that's an excellent silly reason.

Besides, I love skeletons, I always like things with skulls on them, and skeletal undead are my favorite kind...

Edit:

Well I counter with this:

[Vossik]

I think I should be the Skeleton in the Playground. Why? Because I have more in my closet than anyone. Sure you don't know who I am, but how do you think I got away with it for so long? I won't show any flashy pictures or anything like that. Instead I give you the Skeleton Song.

Skeleton you are my friend
But you are made of bone
And you have got no flesh and blood
Running through you to help protect the bone

Skeleton we have been friends for years
And you have seen me through some trials
And tribulations and some tears
But everybody thinks I'm weird
And I should have known
That it wouldn't be long
Until you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I don't know what to do
Skeleton we are so close
But you have got no body
So why do you insist on wearing clothes
Skeleton when we were young
It was easy
Even though the other kids
They would tease me
But I was only seven I had you
But now I'm twenty-two
And now it's different, when I take you out
And you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I don't know what to do
'Cause sometimes at night,
I dream of the most terrible things
I take a hammer and I creep out of bed
And I raise it high
And I smash your head
Fibular and tubular
And ribs and cages, too
In fact, while I'm here
I'll smash the whole of you

Smaaaaaaaaaaash !
But Skeleton, you are my friend
And I could never bring your life to an end
Yes Skeleton you are, you are my friend
And I will be there for you until the end
And even though, when I take you out
You've got me, you've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
I could, I could never let you go
And that is all I know
And that is all I know
And that is all I, that is all I know
And that is all I know, know

Yeah I don't expect to win, but I felt the need to be here.
*is turned by a Cleric*

[Boo]

Far too SRS. SRSLY. :smalltongue:

Besides, I've been wearing the same skull necklace since I was 10. I'm 17 now. :smalltongue: Skulls don't mean much. That's just the tip of the iceburg.

However, you can have my vote if you vote Red Sock for Ghost itP. Let's get the new guy an award!

[Talic]

"Citizens of the Playground, I come to you again, with a promise! I cannot promise free will, or protection. Such things are not the zombie way. I cannot promise talking... cats, was it? If you need those, go watch Alice in Wonderland. No, my cats come from Pet Cemetery, and they, like the rest of the horde, have better uses for a mouth than talking.

But the zombie horde is not a destroyer. We are creators! My campaign promise is to create a world where we are all equal! Man and child, young and old, all shall be no more or less regarded than another. We shall create a world where every living creature trembles as the moan of the unliving! And I say we, because we shall all be as one! Each and every one of you shall be as I am, as your neighbor, your cousin. We shall all be brothers-in-arms, united in the common purpose of feeding, devoted in the cause of the brain!

Others will try to impress you with inquisitions, claims of owning reality itself. These shams cannot hold in the stark reality of the truth. These promises, claims of zombification as a choice, claims of preferred generals.... They only reveal the fraud in the campaign. No, a vote for me is a vote for unity, equality. A vote for me is a vote for fairness. A vote for me, is a vote... for all zombiekind."

[ThePhantom]

"And on that note, that is why being a ghost is a good thing. You can't be turned into a zombie because your'e already dead and there's nothing that a zombie could bit. Those are two things that ghost have over zombies, and there is more good things.

You can go through walls, you can fly, you can possess the living to get a feel of what life is like again. Ghosts also can serve as guardians, and they often keep their mind, unlike the zombie. Plus, ghosts are much harder to destroy than almost anything. So vote me, ThePhantom for ghost in the playground."
editv "you'll pay for that."

[Deathslayer7]

*ghost touches broom*
*whacks the ghost*

*Fully endorses Talic's equality for everyone*

Talic for Zombie itP!

[Talic]

"Bah! Misrepresentation. Ghosts have corpses, same as any other. They just don't use them. It's quite possible to have your will subverted to that of a ghost, and your body into that of a zombie.

Further, ghosts are elitist horrors! Their club is exclusive. No, Zombie is a horror for the masses, for the people. Zombies are a horror for each and every one of you.

The horror of a ghost lies in what it does. The horror of a zombie relies only on what it is."

[D_Lord]

Yet you can easy beat a good side army of zombies with a flamethrower, a ghost you can do barely anything if you can at all. Plus greater ghosts will not stop until they do what they are bound to this earth to do. Zombies can go down but you just have to melt or salt or burn them.

[ThePhantom]

"Elistist, does that mean that only the best can be a ghost? And by the way, which one wins in a fight? The zombie, with only physical unstopablity power, or the ghost, which is smarter and incorporeal? The ghost does.

[Felixaar]

Go Felixaar for Zombie itP. BRAINS.

http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/6563/img1512gf6.jpg

It would have an exclamation mark, but we zombies do not use excalamation marks, we are to apathetic. (this also includes fixing typos.) BRAINS.

Your juicy meat lumps are probably questioning the necessity of an appointment of Felixaar to Zombie itp. These thoughts make your brains hard. Pulse. Magnetically. It's rythmic. It's beautiful. BRAINS.

It is no wonder this problem plagues your attractive flesh heaps. But it is unneccesarry. Soon you will be at peace, and your nerve bunches will bother you no more. Just... hold... still... BRAINS.

TRANSMISSION BRAINS. I MEAN OVER. BRAINS.

"Elistist, does that mean that only the best can be a ghost? And by the way, which one wins in a fight? The zombie, with only physical unstopablity power, or the ghost, which is smarter and incorporeal? The ghost does.

"No, it means that not everyone can be. Anyone truly wronged can be a ghost. Anyone who can't let go. As for a fight? Why, I doubt a ghost really has much at his disposal for harming a zombie, or even much of a will to do so. See, ghosts? They're kinda victims. Smart, but unable to learn. Free-willed, but doomed to repeat themselves. Gifted with diverse abilities, but only able to use them towards a single purpose.

Zombies have one purpose too. Feeding. And it is that feeding that denies a ghost its targets to possess, the vengeance or forgiveness it needs. No, the zombie horde dooms the ghost... For it will never accomplish the purpose of slaying its killer, if the killer is a zombie. It can never get forgiveness from its former love, if that love only wants brains.

No, my friend. Ghosts take over houses, countrysides... Zombies... dominate countries, nations, worlds. Such is the power of unity in purpose. Such is the power of the horde."

[Fan]

I'm sorry felix, but talic has been a zombie FOR EVAH!
He had my vote from day 1.

[ThePhantom]

"Ever seen Monster House? That was a ghost that took over the house, and it was able to eat, take out cars, and more. Ghosts often can use fire, or other object to destroy things. Ghosts are very capaible of taking zombies to pieces. In fact, if it would be possible to get a ghost's good side, a person could have a good chance of living through a zombie doomday alive. But the point of this is not to say which is better, ghost or zombie, but that we should be the zombie/ghost in the playground. What do you say, why not team up to make sure that we get what we want?"

Walks around it.

Ghosts can possess things, from objects, to weapons to people using weapons. And not all ghosts are bound to repeat the same actions over and over, those are weaker ghosts, more of very powerful memories than anything else.

Okay, this is getting out of control. Let's calm down before things get nasty.

D Lord, that does not have the fact that the end goal of a ghost is its own destruction. All ghosts have a purpose, a driving task which, upon completing, will unmake them.

I'm sorry, I just have a hard time backing anything that, at the very core of its nature, is trying to kill itself.

Nominate me (and vote for me in the polls) as skeleton ITP, because I play a skeleton in a number of games, skeletal undead are my favorite kind! I also plan on going as a skeleton for Halloween... plus I'm already called Lord Skeleton in some games! I'm not just a skeleton, I'm a skeleton LORD! My WHFB army is comprised mostly of skeletons, and my best leader is a skeleton. I really feel I'm a good representative for skeletons everywhere, and will do my best to stand up for their interests! Plus, I'm a demon, and demonic skeletons are awesome looking. I really feel I would be a good Skeleton in the playground, and that I am highly suited to this task.

[Felixaar]

"Wait a minute... Zombie.... car bombers? Now we've got zombies with IED's!? Oh that's... that's rich."

Eet's De Zombie Italian Mafia. Brains Pizza. BRAINS.


On the lighter side of the news (since, like, you lose 12 pounds when you die), you should nominate Felixaar for Zombie itP. BRAINS.

I know a lot of people have already put up their nominations, but seriously all... who could be more qualified? A few fun facts BRAINS.

1. I'm always a zombie for Halloween. ALWAYS. BRAINS.
2. I consistently and constantly threaten to eat my friends BRAINS.
3. I actually did eat brains once BRAINS.
4. BRAINS.
5. I was absent mindedly drawing the other night, and randomly drew a few pics of zombie's doing what zombie's do best. Then I got up and found this topic. BRAINS.

So do the right thing. BRAINS.

[Talic]

"It's easy to speak of devotion out on the streets. All we at the playground have... is what we see in the playground. And so, I ask you, which among us has truly dedicated themselves to being not just Zombie itp... But actually being a Zombie, IN the playground?

Now, Festy has a tenuous claim on zombie support, hinging back to a card for support. Whether that is true, or whether he belongs with Morticia and the rest of the Addams family... That's up to you to decide.

Me? I've been a zombie as long as I've been a Playgrounder. For as long as this playground has known Talic, it's known Talic as a zombie. As the zombie. The Zombie...in the playground.

There's a good dark-horse candidate, Zombie Rock Star.... But he hasn't even entered. However, there can be little question of his devotion to the Zombie cause, at least.

Now, I'm not talking about length of time in the playground. I'm talking about consistency. What was Felixaar last week? Last month. In the playground, was he a zombie? If you can't be a relentless, untiring member of the zombie cause, then are you really a zombie at all?

In the playground? I'm a zombie. From my first post, to my last breath, I'll be nothing other. The playground should have no less. The playground deserves no less!"

[ThePhantom]

"Just a little problem in your speech, Talic. If your a zombie, wouldn't your last breath already have happend? And to the rest of the playground: Thank you very much. At last count, I was leaing in the nominations for ghost itp, which leads me to believe that I will get the gold. Thank you all for your support."

"You've resorted to attacking figures of speech and semantics, now?

[ThePhantom]

Hey, I'm not trying to attack your position at all. We're running for two different things, so why would I try and make you look bad?

[Talic]

I don't know. Why would you?

[ThePhantom]

I'm not trying to, okay. It was just a little thing I noticed. Now lets calm down, and show why we are the best in our chosen groups.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Playground,
Have any of my rivals for ghostitp given good clear reasons
for why they should win. I don't think that many of them

Thank you,

VOTE ELROND FOR WARLOCK ITP
I love and always will love dark icy magic for i since i have been a play grounder have been a Gothic magic user. on Halloween i always dress up as a Gothic magic user a warlock asper say. Let fate decide who wins the title of Warlock ITP but in the end it does not matter because the other contestants will just throw down the roll of warlock and pick up the roll of what ever happens to come next were as i will continue to be a warlock until the end of life itself

"Well, I appreciate your belief that I'm actually evil enough to fabricate my past in support of my campaign, but I'm not. Well, I am, but I didn't do it. My story has been up in the 'What Made You Choose Your Username' (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4760725&postcount=158) thread for months. If you really think that I'd have put that there months ago on the off chance that an appeal to that origin would help me win… then have fun thinking that. But it's simply not true."

Actually, I've always been a zombie. I'm just a little better at hiding it BRAINS.

Hey, i said a little. BRAINS.


Nominate Felixaar for Zombie itP. Do it. Do it now, before they bring down our whole society. And don't ask me who they are, I don't know. But they'll bring down our whole society. Or build it up. Whichever you like least. The important thing is that you nominate me. BRAINS.

[Talic]

"Is this what you want, playground? A zombie, so ashamed of his heritage, that he HIDES it? I mean, really. Zombies are better than that. If you're hiding your zombie status, you certainly shouldn't be held up as a paragon of all that is Zombie. No.

As for you, Festy, it doesn't take evil for retroactive truth revision. Just an overzealous competitive spirit. Let's look at this. Where's the zombie pride before this? Since you're so fond of looking back months, let's look back twelve. Go ahead, search for "zombie" and "talic", and "zombie" and "Uncle Festy". Check who's been more zombie since last halloween. Don't take my word for it. Check for yourself, which of us carries the zombie message to the world."

[UncleWolf]

In light of recent events(Selrahc pointing out that I am, in fact, a skeleton instead of a zombie), I have decided to run for Skeleton itp.
"Why should we vote for you?" you ask.
To quote the gods who are ZZ top...
"Coz every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed (skeleton)man.":smallbiggrin:
Vote Wolfbane for Skeleton itp!

[The Bushranger]

Remember folks, Bushranger for Ghost ItP!

Vote for anyone else...and you'll be spooked.

And Bushranger nominated me for Vampire itP :smalltongue:

So, I'll introduce you to Phèdre nó Delauney de Montrève

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i262/wxdruid/Town/mea.png

Phédre wears black, a black skirt that is almost to short and definitely shows to much leg. Her top is daringly low, she knows she has the perfect body and knows what her effect is. She wears a long black silk scarf and when she's in public it's usually covering her mouth, covering those pointed little canines she has. If you're willing to feel the full experience...then pm me and we can go to the Tavern...

[Szilard]

Her, yeah....:smalltongue:

Anyway...
Why vote Szilard for Skeleton in the playground? He's just this normal guy postin on a forum. Szilard is indeed very skinny, as most of the people running, and of course he likes skeletons. A lot of people say they are skinny, but are they only 80 pounds? Probably not. Anyway, I also made Lord Asmodeus a skeleton avatar, which looks really cool by the way. Just the other day, I was thinking about homebrewing a way to have a skeleton PC in D&D fourth edition. Lots of people who are running have just went and found pictures of awesome skeletons, but is that what it takes? No. If it did, I could have my campaign wrapped up in the next few pictures.

These haven't changed your mind, so why should the others?

Nominate Szilard for Skeleton in the Playground.
What else would I have to do?

[Tempest Fennac]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone who is running for Witch apart from Collin have any magical abilities at all?

[Talic]

Deathslayer7 magically animates brooms, not sure what else, but Fantasia will show that's not an incredibly trifling ability. Animate Objects points to at least moderate casting ability.

[The Bushranger]

Bushranger for Ghost ItP!

He's Ectoriffic!

[Elrond]

"Is this what you want, playground? A zombie, so ashamed of his heritage, that he HIDES it? I mean, really. Zombies are better than that. If you're hiding your zombie status, you certainly shouldn't be held up as a paragon of all that is Zombie. No."

Ashamed? Ashamed? My good sir, that is a directly outright lie. First of all when one is raised by a well timed zombie apocalypse just moments after his death at the electric chair, that is not heritage, but rather... privilege. Despite how our minds may thrive at the thought of undead relations (no? no one else? hmm.), this was not my beggining. BRAINS.

The hiding, my friend, is only to extend our empire. To slowly... ever so slowly... sneak up on our targets and BAM. It's kinda easier when you haven't announced 'I am Felixaar, Lord of Zombies' too them prior. I mean as much as the tougher teeth help, the reduced speed per round just doesnt let you get any game after that one. BRAINS.

[Talic]

"So, you prefer to skulk in the shadows, like the puny meatbags that I call victims? If ashamed is the wrong word, it seems afraid would not be. And fear is not something that the killers in any horror should have. The zombie is a relentless, uncaring, unfeeling monster. The zombie is shot, time and again, and still advances. The zombie has no regard for pain, for safety. The only concern a REAL zombie has is brains. That's it. Not survival. Survival is what is on the mind of the victim. A true zombie is NEVER a victim.

I've said it before, I'll say it again...

BRAINS IS FER EATIN', NOT FER THINKIN'

That is all."

[Tempest Fennac]

How do you do that, Elrond? (I have an interest in magic.)

:smallsigh: You must have rolled a natural one on your shot at my point, brother, I said the reason for disguise was STEALTH. Honestly, anyone who knows me can tell you that fear is by no means one of my vices... except when the opposite gender is involved, but that's off limits. BRAINS.

Also, in my love of cool drinks, I'm going to have to nominate Elrond. BRAINS.

"I think I got the point perfectly well. Yes, ANYONE that hides does so to not be seen. I've never seen anyone say, 'I hide to be noticed!'

But if you're trying to hide, to avoid the blows of your enemies, then that is survival instinct. Fear. And if you do it to ambush, and set up flanks, then it's using a brain fer thinkin'. Both were addressed in my previous point.

Flank attacks? Ambushes? Leave those for live bait. Zombies only know one assault.

Full frontal.

To do anything else? it underscores the very nature of the zombie. No, keep your 'laying low'. Keep your shame in zombie kind. I certainly know I don't want any of it."

[Felixaar]

Wait, what? BRAINS.

I lost track after the words 'Full Frontal'. BRAINS.

I use my brain for thinking. There's for eating. BRAINS.

Also mounting a political-esque defense to my points requires thinkin'... though not much of it. BRAINS.

[Talic]

"This, zombie cadet, is campaigning. This is showing the understanding of what a zombie TRULY is, what it means to be a zombie.

Zombies don't think. If they did, then becoming one wouldn't be so scary. No, the horror of the zombie relies on EVERYTHING that is you being gone. All that can remain is a moving body, swarming over the living, devouring flesh.

If your zombies can think, then they just aren't as scary. And in a horror, scary is everything.

In the horror I love, they'll sell me a seat, but I only need the edge."

[Dallas-Dakota]

Booyah your politics!
*munches on cookie flavored brains*

[Phase]

"Zombies don't think. If they did, then becoming one wouldn't be so scary. No, the horror of the zombie relies on EVERYTHING that is you being gone. All that can remain is a moving body, swarming over the living, devouring flesh."

I've always thought the best zombie diseases, etc were the ones that left the victim conscious. If being turned into a zombie is something that ends you, as regular death does, then your fate wouldn't seem much scarier than regular death. If you are still aware of your actions, but are still unable to stop, that's a fate worse than death

I give you the following examples from gaming:

1. The Headcrab Zombie: It can be inferred from their moaning that they are alive, the parasite rooted into the brain, the stomach ripped open. Death would be a sweet release, and yet they aren't in control of their own actions.

2. The zombies from System Shock 2: Similarly, these seem conscious. They beg for death, much more openly than the above example, and apologize for currently trying to bash your skull against the floor.

These fates, watching myself kill innocent victims, not wanting too but doing it anyway, would feel worse than seeing something happen and not do anything about it. Add in the regular mutilations zombies usually undergo, and you have a fate that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.

[Deathslayer7]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone who is running for Witch apart from Collin have any magical abilities at all?

I do have a full 20+ levels in Druid. So yes, I can cast magic. :smallsmile:

If you need proof....
*points to the glowing purple hand i have*

[Shades of Gray]

Yo.

I'm a warlock. I can cast invocations, particularly charms and compulsions.

See, now, in example 1? The zombie moan is a quintessential part of what a zombie is. It does not infer sentience. Whether it be Thriller, Night of the Living Dead, or references in Max Brook's Zombie Survival Guide, there's a common moan. In none of these entries is intelligence.

The other? Not zombies. Controlled humans. Violent bashing alone does not a zombie make. If so, a great many movies, including Friday the 13th, would be zombie movies. No, zombie horror is the fact that no matter how much your parent, lover, friend, or child loves you, they are one bite away from trying to kill you... and you them. And there is nothing you can do about that.

Oh, hey, zombie loves (http://baddict.wordpress.com/2008/01/15/i-am-a-zombie-filled-with-love/)

I prefer to think they can think, but are trapped by their bestial nature. As above, its like being in your mind, watching your body doing these things, and being unable to stop it.
Worse, you even like the taste of human flesh...

You ever play them backwards?

And anyway, that doesn't invalidate my point. If someone has the chance to either die, then and there, or continue a plagued existance of horror and torture for as long as they can not be killed through zombie killers, I'd assume they'd prefer death.

"Ah, but the whole point... They don't get to choose. They get to be killed in a highly torturous manner, being eaten alive, and they get to know, as their last thought, that they will become the very thing that killed them. While on an individual level, you may have a point, there's a reason that Star Trek modelled the borg after the zombie horde. An army that gets stronger through destroying its opposition is a terrifying concept, to the people that must fight it... To the living. While your suggestion may have merit for the dying, there's little difference for those who are still fighting. For the ones that are truly the targets of the terror."

[Tempest Fennac]

I was asking about you rather then your avatars/RPing characters regarding magic.

I am playing a similar concept in the town, actually, as full on zombies are rather unsuited to RP. Still, whether their mind is gone, or merely locked away, unable to do anything but watch, the end result is the same. The only difference is the inner torment.

[Elrond]

How do you do that, Elrond? (I have an interest in magic.)
Well im glad you asked
*clears throat*
Well i manipulate the temperatures in the air and use them to freeze things and make cold drinks
also i have another not so magical way i like to call it 'ice cubes':smallamused:

[Tempest Fennac]

I take it you use ice cubes all the time, right?

[Elrond]

lots of the times but only coz i like watching them scweam when you stuff the ice cubes down there throat

[Tempest Fennac]

Okay. How did you learn how to do that anyway?

[Elrond]

which thing may i ask?

[Tempest Fennac]

Making air temparatures cooler.

[Felixaar]

Stuffing ice cubes down peoples throats if fun. BRAINS.

I kid, it's actualy kinda messy. BRAINS.

And I'd fear an enemy who can still think but has been transformed into the malicious more than one which was mindless. Well, if I feared anything aside from girls (now theres an enemy transformed into the malicious!) *gets mobbed by feminist's league. this is getting old.* BRAINS.

also, in those last few remaining moments BRAINS.


Nominate me for Zombie itP! You know you want to! (after all, Tallic is just spitting out the same sayings again and again. Go fresh and new. No'fense, zombie brother.) BRAINS.

Yeah, but going by length of time violates the site's TOS. That whole discriminating based on length of time, postcount, and all that.

My point is continuity. 100% of my GitP life has been as a zombie. Only person who ties that is ZombieRockStar.

When I joined up I used a non OOTS version of this avatar(Which I've been using on other forums for an age). About a month after I joined I got an OOTS version. Since then, it has never been changed.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Vote me for zombie itp.
I just don't do all that political discussion stuff, I just NOM my cookie flavored brains.......Hmmm, cookie flavored brains. *nom's them*

[Lord_Asmodeus]

I once again urge everyone to nominate (and vote for me as) Skeleton ITP. I think skeletons are cool, and I play skeletons in many games. I have a great affinity for them, and enjoy spending time with the numbers of them hiding in my closet. I like to put skulls on things, and regularly go looking for pictures of them.

If anyone feels inclined to question me on the validity of my place as Skeleton ITP, I would be glad to answer them!

[Szilard]

Nominate me as well, because I am as cool or cooler than Lord Asmodeus up here^.

I also made the Skeleton Avvie in his Sig.

[The Bushranger]

Remember folks, nominate Bushranger for Ghost ItP! Once a ghost, always a ghost, and ghostly through and through! :smallwink:

[ThePhantom]

Its feels great being the top of the nominatations for ghost itp. Too bad you aren't on top of the first round, Bushranger. Now, to spook up some more stuff for my campain. Walks right through the wall.

[UncleWolf]

Don't forget to vote for your friendly neighborhood spide...Wolfbane for Skeleton itp!
and Happy Halloween! (not for me yet, but never too early to celebrate:smallbiggrin:)

[Lord_Asmodeus]

I'm as cool or cooler than Szilard, and I'm just as snappy a dresser as Wolfbane! Vote Lord_Asmodeus as Skeleton ITP, cause I'm Skeletacular! I even plan as dressing as a skeleton for Halloween!

[Felixaar]

"Truth doesn't change. Why should I?

That's good though, coming from someone who uses the saying 'brains' like most people use a period."

All is change. Things would preeeetty boring otherwise. BRAINS.

Also I don't notice myself saying anything at the end of every sentence :smallconfused: BRAINS

(maaaajor high five if you get that reference BRAINS).

I'm still trying to find some nominee's for Ghost... can you convince me to nominate you? And "I've been a ghost since blah blah" will do nothing but well, disqualify you indefinetley. I need reasons. Cool ones. BRAINS.

[ThePhantom]

Well, you know my reasons already and I thank you for your nominatation. Ask questions about why you should vote for me, and I'll try to answer them.

[UncleWolf]

I'm willing to answer any(and just about all) questions for why you should vote for me.
So, ask away!

[Reinholdt]

I'm willing to answer any(and just about all) questions for why you should vote for me.
So, ask away!

Who's cooler? Jaws or Oddjob?

[UncleWolf]

Oddjob. Its the hat.

(and before you ask, Roger Moore and Sean Connery were the best ones)

[Deathslayer7]

*agrees* :smallbiggrin:

at leat with the Sean Connery part and hat.

[Reinholdt]

He has my vote.

[UncleWolf]

And it is very much appreciated. And besides, you never see cartoons making fun of Jaws, but in Toy Story 2, Mr. Potato Head throws his hat to stop sliding doors. One of the best scenes in that movie.

[ThePhantom]

That's because Jaws was so tough. In the movies, nothing could stop him for long.

[UncleWolf]

You have to feel kinda sorry for the actor who played him though. The part of Jaws ended up ruining his mouth. (you can really tell in the new The Longest Yard, he could barely speak)

Next?

[Felixaar]

I'm willing to answer any(and just about all) questions for why you should vote for me.
So, ask away!

I have to second this, on my behalf obviously BRAINS.

Also, is it sad that I was thinking of the OTHER Jaws for a brief moment there? And then I thought "actor who played him? wha?" BRAINS.

[Moofin Bard]

Oooh you guys can ask me questions too!

Btw, new avatar. Comments?

[UncleWolf]

Disturbing to say the least. Not scary, but very disturbing. Very disturbing.
It also raises a few questions which I will not ask in front of mixed company.:smalltongue:

[Uncle Festy]

"I am fully willing to be questioned in the name of my zombie horde and I controlling the world."

[Talic]

"I could tell you also that I'm willing to field questions. I could say that. But I've been fielding questions since the start of this, and questioning my esteemed opponents' misconceptions. So keep throwing out anything you like. I'm here."

(Oddjob was DEFINATELY cooler... though he was always banned in Goldeneye games. :) )

For your amusement (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badidea)

[Szilard]

Anyone want to ask me questions?

[Elrond]

im up for questions if people want to ask me some

[Felixaar]

Pfft. people can no longer ask me questions BRAINS.

FELIXAAR. He's DIFFERENT BRAINS.

[Talic]

"Different, indeed. Much like the one kid in school who insists that the world is flat. Being unique does not make you right, friend."

[Dallas-Dakota]

I am a ebil zombie minion of Festy. BRAINS.
He is the bestest zombie, Festy I mean...Brains...Hmm, he gives me cookie flavored brains....

[Felixaar]

"Different, indeed. Much like the one kid in school who insists that the world is flat. Being unique does not make you right, friend."

Curiously enough, neither does disagreeing instantly with everything I say :smallbiggrin: BRAINS.

(dont take this harshly. I actually do think you're a pretty cool guy BRAINS)

[Dallas-Dakota]

I always watch Pinky and the Brains when I know it's on.

Does that help my evil zombie master Festy?

[Fan]

I have a question for wolfbane in all my vampire atude I have noticed that you have choosen VAMPIRE women to represent your general "female fanbase", well I have to say that if they are in fact vampires then they are almost ertainly with you being a skeleton and all that are not truly after you as a person, or anything else you own aside from yor soul. Do you not realise that they are manipulating you to achieve their greater goals, well aobve your own statement of "every girl being crazy about a sharp dresses (skeleton) man?
Also as a Skeleton do you reaqlsie that you would in fact not be able to experiance those feelings, or any feelings at all for that matter. Due to your non fle****ude.
Over examinatuion, but the tired sterotype of vampire women being well you know started me on this tangent of thought.

[UncleWolf]

Do you not realise that they are manipulating you to achieve their greater goals, well aobve your own statement of "every girl being crazy about a sharp dresses (skeleton) man?

Over examinatuion, but the tired sterotype of vampire women being well you know started me on this tangent of thought.

More questions, good, and these have actually made me think. I have numbered your questions for reader convenience.

1. The fact that they are trying to manipulate me means nothing if I know that they are trying. You should remember the saying..."Keep your friends close, and you enemies closer". This situation pretty much follows those same principles. If I keep the people that I know are trying to manipulate me close to me, it means I can react to them much, much faster.

2. *ahem* Well, since I am Baron Samedi, I can say that I actually have many physical forms. My current one being one of the most accepted ones. Being a Loa(Voodoo God) of death has it perks though. And not to mention that I am also the Loa of parties and "parties"(:smallwink:). So, I can say that I am actually enjoying their company. :smallbiggrin:


And just in case you were wondering, I actually thought about which female monsters would be the best ones to have. I ended up ruling most of them out as not following the theme(i.e. Medusa) and ruling out others because they just didn't seem to fit right(Mummies). It had actually came down to Banshees and Vampires. I ended up ruling out the Banshees because, originally, Banshees were the undead souls of women who were unfaithful to their husbands (and in some legends, murdered their real husbands). And that is how I came by my choice.

Hope this answered your questions, and I'm looking forward to more challenges ahead. :smallsmile:

[Fan]

Oh, I'm not quite done.
:smallamused:
1: Faster than someone with the reaction time to dodge a bullet as easily as a trained rock dodger (not a popular profession, but a nesscary one nontheless.) dodges a stone flung at him by a child? I think you well underestimate vampric females wolfbane.
2. But, your physically unable to while your a skeleton. Its scientific fact.
let me quote some wiki on you on who one experiances THOSE feelings.

Studies have shown that brain scans of those infatuated by love display a resemblance to those with a mental illness. Love creates activity in the same area of the brain that hunger, thirst, and drug cravings create activity in. New love, therefore, could possibly be more physical than emotional. Over time, this reaction to love mellows, and different areas of the brain are activated, primarily ones involving long-term commitments
this is entirely scientific, but basicly it says that you need a WORKING, PHYSICAL brain in order to feel love. This is not a problem for sentient zombies, and vampires as well We have felsh. However... skeletons not so much.

Vampire females from what mythos? DnD? White Wolf? Anne Rice? Bram Stoker? Mythology? They're not all the same. Maybe his vampires aren't hyper-speed killing machines.

However, Fan, you do have a habit of trying to "one up" other people( I point to the K/K thread last night, with Phantom's post about watching the original PotO movie), and attempting to make assumptions that are mostly inaccurate (ala most of your "observations" on Rabbit), as well as tearing other people down frequently (ie the ship thread last night).
This behavior of yours is mostly rampant in the itP contests, however.

I try, and prove my point, and I state things that I've actually done. I see myself as no better than anyone else who happens to frequent these boards, and often as benath some of the better members. I just happen to know somethings that come up frequently, and have made the best of my life by making it as full as possible.
Excuse me for having a decent knolwdge of wikipedia, and a decent set of classes in my home schooling days.
Also I wasn't trying to one up anyone in the Shipping thread. I was merely stating that I liked Shakespeare, and how your sotries hada romeo, and Juliet feel to it. Albiet with an origanal touch. Hell I even complimented your charecter in that thread.

[RabbitHoleLost]

And then said that it wasn't as great as something else.
You also mentioned my ship was an over-done trope.

But that's not what I'm trying to get at. I was just explaining where Cobra was coming from, and perhaps point out why people get so frustrated with you, using examples from my own interactions with you.

It's also not physically possible for skeletons to TALK being as they are DEAD and having no VOCAL CHORDS. But YOU try to explain that to an angry skeleton mob... or an angry skeleton. The point is, we're already dealing with highly impossible situations, why is love, of all the physically and scientifically impossible acts described in this here thread, one that shouldn't be allowed?

I was going from a aspect of science, and even by DnD (which is apprently what your all going by.) Skeletons can only speak because they have been animated by negative energy. the Force of HATE, and DEATH in the universe.
Ironic isn't it?

...isn't he a death god in the form of a skeleton? Does any of that really apply?

In his words his ia a "Loa" which I have absolutely no idea what it is.
Even stil death god means he is a eve stronger force of negative energy.
I garuntee you that ANY death god you can find will be A: Undead, B: Spiteful to the world as in the case of Hades, and Wee Jas., or C: Uncaring, or ghost like.
Also if he is a death god does that in fact make him NOT a skeleton?
is this all a facade of sorts to play qwith our mortal (ish) minds!?

Ah, but here is the catch. While I am physically a skeleton in every way possible; mentally and metaphysically, I am not one. The skeleton is just a form chosen by me to suit my purposes on the physical plane(plain?). It allows me to interact with my followers in a form that they associate with my domains(death, parties, and "parties" but, mainly death). I am in no way associated with Hate or evil though. I suppose you would say my alignment would be CN.

A loa is a voodoo deity.

Wiki. Is helpful. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loa)

Not gods, but powerful spirits. I think those are perfectly capable of loving, trapped in a skeleton or not :smallwink:

I still have no grasp of what a Loa could be as my understanding of Voodoo is limited to the dolls.

EDIT: thank you Rabbit. Your help is appreicated.

Thank you!
FUN FACT: In some sects of Voodoo/Voodou Elvis is also a Loa because he had gathered such a large following.

So, wait Voodoo loas are powerful because of their followings?
Doesn't that mean if someone kills like 1000 of your followers you would hurt... BAD.

[UncleWolf]

No, you become a Loa IF, you amass such a large number of people to follow you and KEEP them for such a long time, that they actually start to believe that you are more than human. Eventually when you do "die" you could theoretically become a certain kind of Loa depending on what you did during your life. Elvis hasn't been added to the list officially because there are those who don't believe that he should be. They aren't powerful because of their followings, they are powerful because of what they did while they had been alive. You had to have influenced people on a large scale in a (generally) positive way. For example, many Loa are practically Voodou versions of the Saints (Papa Legba is St. Peter or St. Lazarus). It is a fairly complicated process. And generally, if someone killed over 1000 of your followers I think All of the Loa would take vengeance on your behalf (you just can't knock off 1000 people without everyone getting pissed off at you). I don't think that you would generally be weakened, but your influence in the physical world would be lessened. Also, practitioners of Voodou don't generally worship just one of the Loa, they use different ones for different situations.

Papa Legba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa_Legba)
Baron Samedi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron_Samedi)

Each Loa has a different purpose, even if they overlap.
I'm glad that I could help enlighten you.:smallbiggrin:

Next question?

FF, one last thing. Why do you have me under witch itp?:smallconfused:

[D_Lord]

There is a way for the dead to move, without negative energy. One monster The Reverent: It is animated by the person's will power alone. It does fall apart after a while but it is very powerful while it lasts.

[UncleWolf]

Do you mean a Revenant? (as in The Crow)

[Deathslayer7]

i would just like to point out that wikipedia is not a very accurate source of information.

And deathslayer7 for Witch itp!

I found it. Revenat: Form Fiend Folio AD&D

It is pretty accurate when people actually do their research before putting up the page. The person who did the Loa page, did a pretty decent job for the overview. They could have gone into much more detail, but I can see why they didn't since there is just way too much to do it easily.
