LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

author=LockeZokay now I am just tempted to do it just to see how you would react

The dude didn't wrong. You're allowed to brag a little when you do something cool, that's a good thing. As humans, we already punish each other for screwing up, we should also celebrate when we do cool things, too!
EDIT: I'm gonna quadruple post on the last page.

Corfaisus, I think there is a certain irony behind the fact that you're showing this kind of attitude. Sure, from a certain viewpoint it is sad that doing good is not the most normal thing in the world and that being rewarded for it is not considered absurd. But that's not how humans and their brains work. If you only live to see and criticise the bad things in the world without noticing and recognising the good ones, then what is it all good for? A world view that is fixated on suffering and negativity only simply does not help at all. Best example: You.
While you often talk about how altruistic and empathetic you are (which, in a way, is much more bragging that what most others did) and that others should not make any mistakes you recognise, 90% of the time you seem like a very unhappy person. I believe that it's necessary to do good and be open-minded as well - but the way you are going about it, you're only causing discomfort to people, most of all to yourself.
I'm absolutely convinced you have nothing but the best intentions - but unfortunately, the results of your actions are usually the exact opposite of what you seem to want to achieve. Maybe it actually is you who should rethink their priorities.

What I would actually do is finally agree to become a moderator, so I can unlock it, and lock Liberty's new topic.
author=Corfaisusauthor=unityYou have all right to put me on your ignore list if you feel it would benefit you more than having to see every time I post. It would honestly pain me for someone who doesn't want to listen to me to be forced to listen to me, but that stems from my submissive and quiet nature in the real world.author=CorfaisusOkay, I'll amend that. 10% of the time you seem like a cool, enlightened human being. It's very strange, and it's honestly the only reason I haven't put you on my Ignore list.
I'm sorry you think that I'm always a jerk. I promise you that's far from the truth, however.
I can't for the life of me figure out why someone who can have that attitude can act like such a negative, nit-picking jerk the rest of the time.
My "negative, nit-picking" behavior, however, stems from my strong belief that people need to know when they've wronged so that they can improve. In spirit, that's what this whole article was about.
Ah, but If I Ignored you then I'd miss that 10% of you that actually is inspiring and uplifting.
Perhaps I'm being too harsh, but people who inform other people that they've wronged and need to improve (and who do so in a direct manner with no regard to sparing that person's feelings) isn't exactly a fresh, new approach. People are informing others of perceived wrongs all the time, and often do so not only to correct those wrongs, but often to build up their own ego. How am I, or anyone else for that matter, supposed to separate your wish to correct wrong behavior from someone being a jerk to bring down someone else? I mean, you could be less mean about it, but you don't seem eager to do that.

I think it's usually safe to assume that pretty much everyone who tells people about stuff they're doing wrong is doing so from a wish to correct that wrong behavior, rather than just being a jerk. I mean, there are jerks out there, but they're typically doing both of those things, not just the second one. And doing both things is certainly better than doing neither.

I need to ask Gourd_Clae how he managed that whole bgcghxmbbgj] thing. Maybe I'll slowly pull out my Ethernet cable on page 999...
author=kentonaDon't you dare! That's cheating! And against the spirit of the challenge! :<author=Libertywhen it gets close, I am going to remove your admin status, lock the topic, and post in it at my own leisurely pace, so that I may claim the 1000
In other news... page 959. :DDD
I remember~
Besides, it's not like I'd leave ya'll without another topic to fuck about in. But yeah, if you don't like it, try to beat my leet postage skillz. ;p
That said, we could hold a silly competition to rename the topic instead of just doing ye olde Mark II. Something original and funny. Well, that's if I do win, though. ^.^

90% of the time you seem like a very unhappy person.
Of course I'm not happy; I'm depressed as a matter of fact. Which is probably why I'm making games that end not in a triumphant fanfare of earthly worship towards the heroes and eternal peace, but the end result being nothing and the need for one to accept the life they've lived for it's own merit. Play Mystic Dawn and you'll see how far south an ending of mine can go. The game ends on the game over screen which is typically represented by death or failure, which seems fitting for someone who lives solely for vengeance and finally gets it. That's my logical conclusion to life, and that's why I write realistic stories that focus around suffering and overcoming (when it allows) with an overarching theme of trying to keep it together with the people who mean the most to you.

I suppose. And some good discussion has certainly come out of this discussion. Perhaps I'm just naive, but I feel like things flow smoother and people learn better if you introduce some kindness into the equation when discussing their faults.
In light of that, I wasn't very kind when addressing my issues with Corfaisus's behavior. I apologize for the hypocrisy and for my harsh words.

I'm not sure how to respond to the last two pages.
UNCERTAIN!!!
One time I told a buddy I couldn't go out for drinks with him because I was helping a family member move. I remember because in that moment I lost like five light side points and lost the ability to use Force Healing. To get it back I went outside and gave money to panhandlers and helped old ladies cross the street unt-oooooooh shit, there it goes again! 
Time to start fixing this...

I'm finding it hard to think about anything besides my upper right wisdom tooth, which decided to grow horizontally and slam itself into my jawbone in the last few days. I can't open my mouth to eat, at least not comfortably, and I'm feeling a constant pressure in my mouth... Of course, this happens while I'm home on break, and now I have to try and rush to get it ripped out. Ugh.
Hopefully they'll say "yeah, we can take it out real quick" after they check on it this Tuesday. I'm not looking forward to syringes in the mouth, but at least I'll be rid of this pain and annoyance afterwards.
As an aside, and for those who wish to discuss it, I have some thoughts about the last chapter of One Piece:
Phew. Glad to have that rant off of my chest.

As an aside, and for those who wish to discuss it, I have some thoughts about the last chapter of One Piece:
I know it's Oda's style to have villains and characters survive insane injuries an brush it off, but it seems weird and cheap that Doflamingo was able to survive Law's Gamma Knife attack. Being completely realistic, destroying all his internal organs would instantly kill him, so how does he have time (or the knowledge) to sew himself back together with his Ito Ito no Mi powers?
I think it ruins the dramatic reveal of Law being alive. That was something I didn't expect at ALL, and now it's down the drain because we need Luffy to have a 10 chapter fight again. Like... Really? That's so disappointing. The pacing as of late stinks in One Piece, every arc is like 80 chapters too long for no reason at all. I enjoy the detail Oda puts into this stuff, but at some point I'd like to just see the god forsaken conclusion of the arc. Fuck.
Plus, I think this comeback from Doflamingo makes him too powerful. How in the fuck can you handwave sewing up all of your internal organs without even looking at them with "I know some first aid"? It's bullshit, even in the One Piece world. Doflamingo should be invincible at that stage. Luffy is going to beat him with a punching attack or something? I don't buy it. You can't justify all of that crap to me.

Keep in mind he hasn't mitigated the damage at all - it's a quick first aid meant to hold him together until he can get seen to by a proper doctor. Keep in mind that Doflamingo has probably been looking in to ways to keep himself alive forever (thus why he wanted Law's fruit) meaning it's not out of character that he did a Voldemort and checked into other ways to protect himself (especially with his own fruit). Makes sense to me that he'd have a back-up plan in case he ever got seriously injured because having and making plans is definitely in line for him.
I think he'll probably be brought down due to those injuries inflicted on him by Law, but with Luffy's help in aggravating them to the point of extreme breakage (so to speak). And hey, that last page with Luffy blocking the step is pretty freakin' awesome.
Besides, as the hero, of course Luffy is going to be the one to take him down. It is Luffy's story and as such anything major like the defeat of le big bad is going to fall to him, even if he has the assist of a major 'debuff'. ;p

Fair points, I assume that Oda will be able to deliver a satisfying conclusion to the fight- and who knows, Law may indeed end up finishing him off after all. He's a pretty tricky guy, and if Doflamingo can save himself from that, then losing an arm shouldn't be a big deal to a doctor like Law.
I will agree, the panel with Luffy blocking Doflamingo's stomp is an expertly designed shot. Pretty much the perfect way to begin the fight.
Don't get me wrong- I want to see Luffy fight Doflamingo. My comment regarding the fight was more of an issue with the length of arcs, although I'm sure a lot of my gripes come from only getting one translated chapter a week if I'm lucky. I just find it weird to blow such a beautiful conclusion like that.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this point. I guess you do have a point in the vein of a Shonen series, but overall this is a pretty shitty way to look at storytelling. In general, the Dressrosa arc puts both Law and Kyros' stories centre stage in terms of fighting against Doflamingo, so to give those stories a good conclusion I would like to see either one of them deal the finishing blow. Luffy is only there because he likes to help people and hates evil pirates like Doflamingo.
At the end of the day though, I'll be happy with the simple fact that Doflamingo is going to get his ass royally kicked for all the shit he's put everyone through. If there's one thing I want, regardless of characters involved or suspension of disbelief, it's a good end to a huge villain like Doflamingo. Especially after that badass conclusion to Zorro vs Pica.
As another side note, they fucking aced Pica's voice in the anime. A seriously great and hilarious job.
I'll agree on that last point whole-heartedly - while I like Doffy as a character (and a villain) he definitely deserves a major asskicking and I'm looking forward to seeing him get it... one way or another.
And who knows? Perhaps Mansherry (?) will put Law back in the fight in time for him to deal the killing blow? Everyone is converging to that area thanks to the birdcage being pulled in so that might be a possibility. Law does deserve to be the one to put the kibosh on Doffy, especially after all the backstory between them, but I won't be too disappointed if Luffy takes the swipe.
A small prediction or two (though not likely to happen) - Luffy has yet to kill an enemy. Maybe Doffy will be the first? Even if he isn't, though, that doesn't stop Law from later chasing him down and killing him after he's been healed (there's really no doubt that that's going to happen, is there?) and gotten back on his feet. Of course, that's supposing Doffy isn't taken by the Marines.
Though that could lead to an interesting situation in the future of the story. We all know the big meeting of countries is coming up, and Fishman Island representatives will be there, as will Dressarosa representatives and Alabasta ones. Who's to say that something (to do with Shirahoshi/Poseidon?) doesn't spark a need for them to escape the WG's clutches and a certain pink and fluffy does a Crocadile and uses Luffy's rescue attempt as a team-up to escape? That would cause some considerable tension with Law and Luffy's alliance.
Eh, it's a theory. I got a feeling something is going to go very wrong at the WG meet-up, possibly to do with everyone's favourite mermaid cry-baby.
...I love that I can talk OP with a fellow fannerd. ^.^
