Name: Osgar Yarshmir Age: (must be between 18 and 45): 43 Sex: Male Race: Scottish Height: 6ft 6in Weight: 315lbs General Appearance: Osgar looks more of a bear than a human, but its hard to say which hits the point home hardest; his unkept wild mane and thick bushy red beard, or his beer-filled belly and mighty arms. As far as apparel goes he's seldom seen without a kilt, showing his deep reverence for his heritage. However, as a counter to this, he also frequently wears one of his many worn out heavy metal t-shirts. Hobbies: Drinking, Shredding on Guitar. Reading Norse Mythology and Fantasy novels. More drinking. Reason for being in a sleepy coffee shop near closing time in downtown Manhattan: Honestly, there's really not a good reason for Osgar to be in a coffee shop. If only he could remember why he was here in one of Manhattans premier coffee shops. There was music, loud music and massive amounts of drinking almost to the point of binging. After that its all a bit of a blur; there were headlights, the smell of whiskey, and something about a latte. Either way thinking about it didn't seem to help. Osgar looked down to discover that he already downed a cup of coffee. Might as well order another round. Who knew something without alcohol could be so damn good?

Norman St. Burger Norman was your typical chemist who spent his nights working on the "Super Secret Bad Guy Killer Formula" or SSBGF for short. One night while working on the SSBGF a gnome (who was secretly evil) snuck into his lab and started playing games with him. During these games, the gnome tricked Norman into swallowing a potion that knocked Norman out. The gnome stole all of his chemistry equipment, but unbeknownst to him the potion gave Norman a fantastic power! Once Norman woke up he noticed a cheese burger laying beside his head, he ate the burger and became Norman St. Burger the giant floating cheeseburger from HELL!!!! Powers: Norman St. Burger is a giant floating demonic Cheeseburger that bites bad guys but he also has a special attack which causes people to want to eat him but he gives them all heart attacks.

@ND7: Er, if that's the way you want to look at it. To me, it seemed like they were trying to teach you that your grammar was atrocious. @575David: That's exactly what I'm saying. Did your brother ever put forth the time and effort it takes to become a good writer? Also, I disagree with you entirely on the matter of somebody being "as good as you are." Again, limits (at least in this context) are mental concepts created by your own mind. You can always improve if you want to. Anything else, is simply a cognitive crutch you've created for yourself.

Personally, none of you will receive compliments from me just because you tried really hard. Sure we can sugar coat everything for you, and say, "This is the worst set-up I've read in my life but at least you tried your best" The problem with that is it sets limits with people. They begin to think, "Oh I tried my best. I can't improve." Truth be told, you can't possibly feel you've tried your best because in reality you haven't. "Your best" is a limitless concept unless you choose to restrain your own talent by contracting your personal standards. Once you stop trying to achieve a new level of superiority with your writing, you start becoming prone to accept something that might not be the best you can put forth. I think a lot of you are thinking that writing is like climbing a set of stairs or a mountain. The problem with that is a mountain, or stairs signifies that there is a limit as to how good you can truly make yourself. With that in mind, its difficult to come up with an accurate analogy. However, for the sake of the argument think of your journey to better writing as if you were in a rocket ship shooting out into space, and your ship will just keep going on and on, forever. As should your writing, keep striving to be a better writer every time and never said a limit to yourself. Whoever said, "The sky's the limit" needs to be shot. THERE IS NO LIMIT.

I've always figured that quality does not vary with quantity. However, I can't speak for personal preferences. Whereas one person might enjoy compact simplistic writing that deals with a concept without beating around the bush. Keep in mind though, there is a difference between that, and "they fight". On the other hand, some people really enjoy some of the lengthier matches, as it makes the writing more epic. Also it just depends on the writer, some people are really good with simple compact stories others do well with longer set-ups. So, there's not really a set formula to know how many words a person needs to write in order to have a quality match. Like I said, it depends on your audience what you feel most comfortable with. Which brings me to my next point different writings call for different lengths, even those by the same author. Some stories call for something a little tight fit, and superficial. In that case writing something that's more lengthy would make the writing seem a little too drawn out. In which case you can cut out a lot of stuff, but still end up with relatively the same thing. On the other hand, some pieces require something with a little more beef to it. Shortening or constraining such a work might make it seem to rushed. Sorry, but there's not a definitive answer to this either. Hope that answers your questions.

Er, thank you but I think you might be slightly confused about what Godmodding is. Here, arm yourself with knowledge.

I'm most likely to Godmode? Really? Funny, I don't even recall being in any RPs; Either now or in the recent past. Oh well, I suppose I can't trust the old memory anymore.

Yep you caught me. I too have been stalling for Kinetic. What's that? Oh I'm not in this RP. Heehee, never mind.

You know what's funny? You're doing nothing here but digging a bigger hole for yourself. First off, the eleven accounts listed above have the exact same IP address, now that doesn't automatically mean you're multi-accounting, after all schools, universities, libraries and other public places share an IP address. However, you just negated that possibility by proclaiming your accounts were made at home. Also, its kind of interesting to note that you just claimed that you were Djkoolkid2 in your previous post. Contradictions anyone? On top of that, does anyone know the chances of 11 different people all sharing the same IP address, who just happen to call themselves Djkoolkid and act in the exact same manner? If this was indeed your first account then why are you responding to a post directed to another account? As of right now, the best thing you could've done is apologized but I see that's too much for you. Banned yet again. @Everyone else: Move along.

Yes and no.The above accounts were locked before I made this post. They are all still there he just cant use them anymore. http://www.electricferret.com/forum/index.php?showuser=1290 http://www.electricferret.com/forum/index.php?showuser=1293 http://www.electricferret.com/forum/index.php?showuser=1133 http://www.electricferret.com/forum/index.php?showuser=1301 http://www.electricferret.com/forum/index.php?showuser=1040 http://www.electricferret.com/forum/index.php?showuser=1302 http://www.electricferret.com/forum/index.php?showuser=1295 http://www.electricferret.com/forum/index.php?showuser=1010 http://www.electricferret.com/forum/index.php?showuser=1298

That's because your other accounts were suspended for multi-accounting. There's really no excuse to have more than one account. After all, you had at least 9 other accounts before we even started banning your accounts. Also, I did notice that you were posting (obsessively I might add) under your Bloodfangking, Gambitfan, and WolverineFan accounts before they were systematically banned, so your argument about not being able to use those accounts is now null and void. When your account is banned it means you can't post, you can't log in, but you can just view the page as a guest. If you had kept only one account from the start then you'd still be able to use your old account. After all, there's a huge difference between making another account because your account was screwed up and its quite another to have 10 accounts, and when they get banned try to create a new one in order to keep posting.

Bloodfangking, relax. I'm kind of at a loss as to why you're getting so worked up about something as minuscule as two members politely offering you advice. In short, they're kind of right. I mean seriously, making adjustments to a character just to make a fight fair or even give the other character an advantage is well... idiotic. The CBUB is supposed to be who would win in a given set-up, which means respecting source material, and having consistent characterization. Its one thing to have a plot device in order to make a fight more interesting, its quite another to add an afterthought that puts the other character at a severe disadvantage. Also, their advice was no one near harsh. Harsh would've been actually analyzing your poor attempt at a set-up. Which, in retrospect, I would've been happy to give you some pointers but now that you've displayed yourself in this manner I don't think I'll bother. I won't be surprised if no one else does either. Oh, one more thing; Would you mind telling me why you need 8 different accounts? @ND7 and Tomisntblue: Technically, he is allowed to voice his opinion on the match. Its not really something to be drilling him about, especially considering he's new. That's besides the point though. @Everyone else: Past tense of "bias" is "biased". "His analysis of the match scenario was biased."

Good to see this thread getting resurrected. I'm currently reading "What If: Eminent Historians Imagine What Might Have Been". All in all its very interesting. It really is amazing how one moment can effect the rest of history. Had things been only slightly different in countless instances in history the world would be vastly different. Plus unlike most historical novels this book is written by at least a dozen different authors, and none of them are shy about giving their opinion. As of right now, I'm reading a section regarding some of the "What Ifs" of the American Civil War including, "What if the Union Army won at the first battle of Bull Run and forced the Confederate Army to flee?" (The exact opposite happened). The author basically concludes that the war would have been over in '61, and the union restored with slavery in the south remaining in tact. Now I'm writing a piece regarding General Robert E. Lee's counter-factual victory at the Seven Days battle. The history nut in me is going crazy.

Re-rolling my "Will" stat. *Rolls* 2.

Important Notice.

Alright, here's what I've decided. From the time being you will only have useage of the account "younggunna" all other accounts are going to be suspended. If you attempt to use any other accounts besides "younggunna" then you will be banned completely with no chance of redemption. Also, for the foreseeable future all your posts under "younggunna" will be under moderator preview. This is a chance to prove yourself.

Hey, I'm very pleased that you've decided to drop your trollish ways. I think you'll find this site to be a lot more enjoyable if you participate in a mature way. Why, there's all sorts of fun things you can do on here just look around. While I remain a bit frustrated with you, (dealing with trolls is a real pain for admins/mods) I'm willing to let bygones be bygones and give you another chance. However, there remains a few problems. First and foremost, you're still multi-accounting which is against Electric Ferret policy. The rule is that you're only supposed to have one account per person. Judging by the database it looks as if you have around 20. So, the first step you should take in becoming a tolerated member of this site is to choose one account (and one account only) notify me, and I'll talk to the admins about deleting all of your other accounts. Secondly, because of your actions previous to your change of attitude you were actually facing banishment. Whether you apologized or not, the fact remains that your behavior warranted banishment. So, in essence this message should have never happened. Which leads me to my next problem, how can we trust you? Forgive me, for seeming slightly paranoid, but after all that you've done and the trouble you've caused this site why is it that you're suddenly turning a new leaf? So, as you can imagine I am somewhat suspicious of your overall intentions. What happens if we let you go? Do you get us to drop the defenses we have placed around you, and then continue on your troll parade? Then again this apology may very well be sincere, and for that I am willing to give you a second chance. Nevertheless, make no mistake this is your last and only chance. What I'm going to do for you, is after you've limited yourself to only one account, is allow access to the site again but with some significant restraints on what you're allowed to do. As you prove yourself to be trustworthy I'll allow you a little more freedom little bit by little bit, until finally you'll be able to use the site unregulated. So, if you're seriously ready to began the journey into becoming a productive member then start by telling me which account you want to keep as your own, and I'll talk with the administrators about limiting you to only that account. Also, to avoid potential problems I'm going to remove your ability to post (but not see) the site until we get things settled. This will likely take place some time today. So, please contact me via PM, and not by the boards as you won't be able to post. Thanks, Tarvius
