I just found a super old email from 2005 from slymenstra_hymen (not the Gwar dancer, the ASMB user). I totally just now tried it to see if it worked and sent her a link to this place.

when he missed his second show I was kind of seeing the writing on the wall there. but what pisses me off the most is - like so - they have Renallo in there, and if you have Mauro, you really don't even need anybody else. Tom Phillips is a nice balance to that and then JBL is a good color/heel announcer. But so - they cram David Otunga in there too. which - ? He basically just sits there show after show with a dumbass expression on his face like he doesn't understand facial expressions so he just plasters a "smile-like" countenance on his face. And whenever he opens his mouth, his voice is so soft you can barely hear him and he only says pretty much pointless/inane things. He's literally a waste of space. Every time they show the announce table, it looks ridiculous with four guys crammed into that space, especially with Otunga sitting scrunched off to the side with that dumb look on his face. One of the things I hate about WWE is - like guys like Damian Sandow and Jack Swagger are shown the door and guys like Otunga do nothing and are just there every week. doing nothing.

Nakamura hasn't been on the shelf long, but it still feels like forever.

During gameplay, you may be required to roll dice to determine an outcome of some sort, be it success at a task, or damage generated from a weapon against an enemy. for that we use the "Dice Roller" button in the post composer (it's the grey "dice roll" button just after the list buttons. when you click this button text will appear: "[ roll ] [/roll ]" (the spaces between the brackets and text shouldn't be added to your actual dice roll post, they were included here so that the code would show up as text for the example) what you do then is insert the die/dice you are rolling between the sets of brackets. if you are rolling 1 dice with 6 sides, you type "1d6" there. If you are rolling 3 dice with 12 sides, you put "3d12" there. If you're rolling % dice, you put "1d100" there. "[ roll ]1d00[/roll ]" you can also include adjustments. for example, if you are using a weapon that does 2d4 damage, and have a +8 damage modifier, you can type "2d4+8" between the brackets. You can also type out your roll for example: "2d20+14", highlight that text, and then hit the "dice roll button". whichever way works best for you. if the original post in which the die roll appears is edited or quoted a "this roll has been tampered with" note will appear with it in the text. Obviously if it appears in a quote, but not in the original post, we know it's not really been tampered with. That's just a glitch we found using the feature. another problem we currently have is the resulting die roll appears as grey text on grey background. this should be easy to fix, but have to find the time to do it, or get viper to do it. Basically all you have to do to read the die roll is highlight the area inside the thin grey box with your mouse.

using my own rules system for this game. Creating/generating a character requires: 1. Determining what sex the character will be. 2. Determining what race the character will be by choosing one from a list of options. 3. Determining the character's age at the start of the game. 4. Learning the character's statistics (characteristics that represent the character's Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Cosmic and Social abilities), choosing which will be most important to the character, and generating numbers to represent those. 5. Choosing the character's main "talent" or area of expertise. 6. The character will then be fleshed out with background details, backstory, equipment, etc. Once this process is complete, the character is ready to participate in the game.

If you want to get some players together to try to run a PBP (play by post) RPG (role-playing game), you can post here and I will create a folder specific to your game. You can use that folder however you'd like, playing over time as people post, or gathering to play on a set schedule (same time every week). Basically, players and GMs can openly hang out and discuss whatever in the "Staging/Planning/GD" board, and then the individual gaming boards will be set up to function however the GM wants. They can set them up with OOC areas, or so that each adventure is its own thread, or so that different threads represent different locations in the game, etc. Each GM will make their own rules for how players communicate through the course of the game and post those on their individual boards. Each GM can either use the Staging/Planning/GD board to generate characters, or do it on their own board, totally up to them. If you'd like to run a PBP game, post in this thread let me know what you'd like it to be called, and I'll get it together as soon as I am able.

am working on board profiles and permissions such that it could cause very brief periods of various features disappearing, though this should only last about a minute if that and I think most of the big stuff is done, so it shouldn't happen any more. but since it happened once today, figured I should post and give people a heads up.

i wanna be coyote patrol.

he's on here sometimes. ... sometimes.

Wrestlemania 33: Kickoff show: Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal: Curtis Axel vs Big Show Vs Tyler Breeze vs Chad Gable vs Apollo Crews vs Bo Dallas vs Aiden English vs Epico Vs Fandango vs Goldust vs Simon Gotch vs Curt Hawkins vs Mark Henry Vs Jason Jordan vs Kalisto vs Konnor vs Jinder Mahal vs Mojo Rawley vs Titus O'Neil vs Primo vs R Truth Vs Rhyno vs Sin Cara vs Heath Slater vs Braun Strowman vs Jey Uso vs Jimmy Uso vs Viktor vs Sami Zayn vs Dolph Ziggler: not a fan of Primo and Epico, Curt Hawkins, Titus O'Neil but love the rest and think they're massively underutilized. Prediction: Big Show. his big match fell through vs Shaq this year, and this is reportedly his last Wrestlemania, my guess is they'll send him out with a bang. Wishful Thinking: also Big Show. My only fallback is Sami Zayn. If it's not Big Show, and it's not Zayn, I'll be kinda pissed off unless it's like somebody totally fresh/unexpected. Kickoff Show: Neville vs. Austin Airies: Like both a lot. Prediction: Ares Wishful Thinking: also Ares. Kickoff Show: Alexa Bliss vs Carmella vs Mikie James vs Becky Lynch vs Naomi vs Natalya: all 6 of these performers deserve the belt. they're all fantastic. It's annoying that this match got bumped from the main show so that Pit Bull could perform. Prediction: WWE brass seems to love Alexa Bliss to the exclusion of all others. But I think the build has been for Naomi to win back the title at Wrestlemania. So Ima go with Naomi. Wishful Thinking: Naomi. She beyond deserves it. Main Show: Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. Cesaro & Sheamus Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Ladder Match: like all three teams. Prediction: Gallows and Anderson seem a solid pick. But Enzo and Cass have been carrying a lot of water lately for WWE and selling a lot merch. So I will go with Enzo/Cass to pick up the belts. Also it'd be a HUGE audience pop. Wishful Thinking: Gallows and Anderson make more sense to me as champs, but gotta also to with Enzo/Cass just because of the "event" feeling I think that would accompany that. Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin: Like both a lot. Prediction: Baron Corbin Wishful Thinking: I'd kinda like to see Ambrose retain. Though Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens: Like both. Prediction: Owens Wishful Thinking: This one's pretty damn straight up predictable as Wrestelmania matches go. Might be nice to see any kind of surprise tossed into it. Bayley vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax: Again, all four extremely solid and deserving of the title. Prediction: hmmmm tough one. I feel like the momentum is with Jax. But something's up with Banks. They may drop the belt on her. hmmm. I guess force prediction: Jax. and hey Flair's not necessarily out of the running either. Wishful Thinking: Bayley retains. John Cena & Nikki Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse: Kind of into the Miz lately, I think he and HHH are the best heels in the game right now. Maryse is okay as backup to that. Not a huge fan of Cena/Bella. Prediction: Cena/Bella, they've made a gigantic deal out of Cena never proposing to Nikki Bella, so I would venture to guess the big "surprise" ending to the match will be Cena popping the question. Wishful Thiking: Obviously I'm with Miz/Maryse, but storywise I just don't see this going down any other way than Cena/Bella. Shane McMahon Vs AJ Styles: like both. Prediction: AJ wins an unexpectedly difficult/grueling match Wishful Thinking: Styles, like many of the matches on the card, there really doesn't seem to be a lot of wiggle-room for unpredictability. Triple H vs. Seth Rollins: Like both Prediction: Triple H. He's head of creative and he tends to approach his own matches with a sense of realism. In the end, I think he'll definitely put rollins over with the crowd, but I think the inevitable victory will go to the uninjured Game. Also I fully expect to see Samoa Joe show up in this match. Wishful Thinking: I would love to see some sort of evening of the playing field early in the match, perhaps Triple H sustaining an unexpected injury at the hands of Rollins. I just don't see the match playing out without Samoa Joe interfering (as he's not on the card anywhere else). This is another one of those matches (a recurring theme) where I'd be happy to see anything unpredictable pop up. Ultimately though, again, I see no other conclusion to this story besides Triple H and Samoa Joe destroying the injured Seth Rollins. unless... I will say this: Finn Balor is cleared and he will be there, but like Joe, isn't on the card. so - you never know - could be we see Triple H and Joe try to beat down Rollins, and Balor runs in to make the save. Undertaker Vs Roman Reigns: I like Undertaker, but he's very old for this game, Reigns is okay, but his dead-fish mic presence makes me want to puke. Prediction: Reigns *yawn* Wishful Thinking: Undertaker not only beats Reigns, but seals him in a coffin. When Reigns returns to the ring, he has lost the power of speech, his voice taken by the dead man. Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton: huge Wyatt fan, can't stand Orton. Prediction: Orton Wishful Thinking: Luke Harper is also conspicuously absent from the card (not even in the battle royal), so I fully expect to see him pop up in this match to plague both Orton and Wyatt. Rowan is also cleared, but I don't expect to see him at Wrestlemania (but damn I would be out of my chair so fast if he showed up). I would love to see Wyatt retain in a grueling free-for-all. Or somehow maybe DB interrupts the match to make it a three way and Harper comes out with the belt. I would LOVE to see a Harper/Styles feud for the title. I think that'd be pretty epic. Goldberg Vs Brock Lesnar: who.... gives a shit. not a fan of either. I just don't see a lot of story potential in either character. I get the purpose they serve. But don't have to like it. Prediction: Lesnar Wishful Thinking: Just because this is the hype match of the event, and it's such a shitty idea and so fucking totally predictable as fuck, I would LOVE to see the same fucking thing happen again with Goldberg beating Lesnar in a brief match. Then shortly after Wrestlemania, Goldberg could drop the belt to Strowman or Balor or somebody else.

Wrestlemania Weekend predictions/wishful thinking: starting with NXT Takeover Orlando: Andrade “Cien” Almas vs. Aleister Black: Like em both. Prediction: Black. Wishful thinking: Also Black The Authors of Pain vs. DIY vs. The Revival: Like all three teams. Prediction: Authors of Pain retain. I think we'll see Dash and Dawson show up on Smackdown Live shortly after Wrestlemania Wishful Thinking: DIY take the titles, Revival is called up to Smackdown, Authors of Pain go to Raw, leaving DIY to help cultivate a new batch of tag teams, possibly feud with Sanity for awhile, eventually perhaps DIY goes to Smackdown and Sanity takes over the tag titles. Asuka vs. Ember Moon: Like em both. Prediction: Hate to even say it, but I think Ember Moon is going to take the belt to free Asuka up for the main roster. Wishful Thinking: Asuka retains, I would love to see her in a knockdown dragout fight with Nikki Cross. Bobby Roode vs. Shinsuke Nakamura: Like em both. Prediction: smart money seems to be on Roode retaining to free Nakamura up for the main roster. I'm not so sure given the trajectory of the storyline. Roode injured Nakamura, they made a HUGE deal/spectacle out of that. I'm not sure they could jetison Nakamura to the main roster without coming back from that injury and regaining the title first. So I'm actually going to vote Nakamura here. Wishful Thinking: I also personally would like to see Nakamura retake the belt. His storylines work best with back-and-forth struggles (as in his most recent epic feud with Samoa Joe). Though SO MANY dream matches await him in the WWE main roster. I'd be surprised if Vince could wrap his head around Nakamura though. HHH seems to have a wider range of vision regarding talent. Vince seems to fixate on size. So it's possible Nakamura would never get anywhere on the main roster. Though, especially if Balor is back in action, Nakamura/Balor we know is an epic combination. Nakamura/Zayn also epic. Nakamura/AJ Styles would be amazing. so I hope he takes the belt back, and shortly thereafter drops it to ascend to the main roster. I just don't think it would make sense from a story perspective to have him lose to Roode at Takeover given the buildup. so maybe his callup won't be immediate, but it does seem inevitable still. conspicuously absent: Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dane and Nikki Cross Vs Tye Dillinger, No Way Jose, Roderick Strong and Ruby Riot. if somehow added to the card I think Sanity should win the match. They're the faction that needs the build. but if forced to predict, I think the indicators point to Dillinger's team.

today is changey stuff. expect some board upheavery.

Sonequa Martin-Green was pretty fucking amazing this week. She doesn't get a lot of shots at the screen as Sasha, but she absolutely killed it. Dwight is another example of - like how they can sacrifice a lot for a "twist" from the comic to the tv show that ultimately bites them in the ass. In the comics and it didn't quite play out exactly as they had it play out on the show. Also in the show he . the difference: , who was also a doctor, who was struggling in this new world and actually starting to make it. So - at least in my view, they've completely sacrificed Dwight to what amounted to a relatively pointless twist. Not only that, but the only reason they saved Abraham was so that he could be sacrificed to another pointless twist . Dwight is a decent enough character, and again, there's no fault in the performance. But that choice to the way that it was done, was just fairly stupid. And again the only purpose it served was a sort of relatively pointless M Night "ooo what a twist" moment. Now the writers are stuck with an audience that demands retribution, but at the same time a roadmap that suggests that Dwight becomes not only a member of the group, but a key member of the group . So they've got to somehow dance around Dwight Vs Daryl, which will ultimately weaken their strongest character, as he's not going to be able to take retribution because that's not where the story goes in the comics, and while they do indeed throw in pointless twists from time to time, they mostly have followed that map. It's kind of just the domino effect of bad writing. When you have a major scene that's half-baked like that, it's not just about that scene. It has an echo through the rest of the show/episodes. Because, yeah, you've got you're momentary twist, but after that you have to untangle the audience reaction and putting the story back on track. Because even though you tossed in your dumbass pointless plot twist, you'd pretty much always intended for the story to go that direction anyway.

aha there it is

Recently I've been really into Wolfe and Nikki Cross in NXT. I love their commitment to the characters, they are truly awesome to watch. And Nikki is crazy in the ring as well. Seeing her and Asuka face to face a few weeks back was freakin amazing. Tonight I though Ruby Riot made a great debut going toe to toe w/Cross and the rest of Sanity (joining Dillinger, No Way Jose and Roderick Strong). NXT had a good show tonight. I also like the Drifter/Kassious Ohno thing. Though - didn't Elias Sampson already get kicked off NXT like a few weeks ago for losing some match or something? I distinctly remember him getting kicked off NXT and going "he'll show up on the main roster, wonder which brand he goes to?"

Rhyno was also running for office somewhere.

I almost hate to see them leave NXT. But it would also be interesting to see what they'd do with some of the Raw and Smackdown talent. Certainly it'd be two more reasons to watch those shows. I thought this was kinda interesting, caught it almost by accident, posted today, a Triple H media conference call. I really really do like what he's done and what he's doing with NXT.

I know two people that do that.

some updates to boards begin around Sunday. there'll be some float and guideline overhauls and folder structure alterations afoot.

Cosplay Melee. now I am watching the Smackdown from last night.

it's not necessarily a psychological question in the sense that you can actually answer statistically that it would most likely be the prison guard. though I sort of get the concept of gauging one's views on authority in general, crime and punishment, innocence and guilt, etc etc. I think the question is too simplistic for that and actually has statistically quantifiable elements (though admittedly vague ones).

AJ/Shane I kind of want to see. I'm sure the women will put on a pretty incredible show. there are a few things I would like to see in it. If I catch it at all it'll probably be because I fastforwarded through most of it. I'm actually about 10000x more pumped for Takeover. Nakamura Vs Roode and Askuka Vs Ember Moon and DIY vs Revival (don't really care about Authors Of Pain, as long as they don't fuck up and injure somebody on one of the other teams, I'm cool with them being in there I guess).

Wrestlemania is pretty boring this year. I mean - Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, John Cena, Brock Lesnar. Surprised Batista hasn't jetpacked in for some inexplicable last minute push. Meanwhile, AJ Styles is absolutely stealing every bit of spotlight. Road to Wrestlemania = dumbass booking, and basically everybody I want to see has been more or less buried on the card, or left off the card. If anything I actually DON'T want to watch it because I don't want to see Wyatt hand the belt over to Orton (which I'm sure was the plan all along and the only reason they ever gave it to him to begin with), Goldbert hand the belt over to Lesnar (which I'm sure was the plan all along and the only reason he's holding the belt to begin with) and John Cena and Nikki Bella beat up Miz and Maryse. Don't want to see any of that. I mean, not only don't want to see it, but will be glad not to. Oh yeah, left out (what is this now year 4 or 5 of this?) Roman Reigns endless push, oh hey I know! let's feed the Undertaker to Roman Reigns that'll for sure get him over with the fans that hate his boring stupid guts. Roman Reigns - don't care. Goldberg and Lesnar - don't care. Randy Orton - don't care. John Cena/Nikki Bella - don't care. I've been sort of not totally on board with every Wrestlemania booking over the years, but this may be the first one I just do not care about and can't wait for it to be over so they can dispense with all the nonsense big money Wrestlemania pushes and I can watch guys like Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, AJ Styles, etc etc steal the spotlight from the stiff fucks that WWE seems to constantly want to shove down our throats.
