I don't get it - what do you have to look for to see the code breaking down? Edit: Woot! #100 on the thread. :) |

I think when the older quotes quit being displayed. It is kind of neat scrolling down the page - ooh, especially on the reply page with all 10 previous posts being quote tunnels. |

Hmm, well the first one is still up there, so the code must still be ok... |

I will sit proud in the fact that my post was the last with all the quotes readable. At least on my browser. |

I can see 26 quotes.
On topic, I played a shaman once that decided to try a music career - Shadowbeat inspired. When it was showtime and time to judge the performance, the GM said I had to sing. A charisma 1 or 2 person playing a charisma 8 character, I declined. I convinced him to just roll for it or we'd act out the next melee encounter instead of just rolling for it. |

ODG, just thinking of what some of my friends do.
SR - one went out and bought a murasame to represent his katana. Another went out and got his car and showed (using toilet paper tubes and tape) where he would plant the bombs. Another bought an airsoft gun to show what he wanted his gun to look like. Another made a homemade armour jacket (using an old leather vest and some thin sheet metal) to show what his looked like, embroiderery and all. We had also once had a paintball gun fight to represent a run where the characters get into a Urban Brawl game. Once I made a cd with a simple grid for a matrix, and then made each node have its stats displayed. A player made a mix cd for when we went into different clubs/bars. And the last one I can remember was when a player, who was upset his char got hit by a car while running through a 4 lane High way, runs back and forth between a 4 lane highway! D&D - One guy died his hair, ripped his cloths and put on makeup to show how beat up his D&D char was. Another made his own weapons at the local highschool out of spare metal and wood (he also made his own scale mail lol). Had two people duel each other with swords (By this time we all had a large collection lol) and the winner in RL won in the game duel (they had basically the same stats and were both Fighters) Also my group has decided now that during games, if our characters have a drink, we do too, which leads to some interesting roleplaying. |

That reminds me of a security breach at Super K-Mart...One night while I was cleaning up the store security chased a shoplifter out the front door. The shoplifter had a bunch of bras & panties and such stuffted in her pants and she was supposed to hop in a waiting car to get away. The car booked out when the driver saw that the snatch was going awry and rather than be caught the shoplifter headed for the highway. We had a big parking lot and there was a large grass/dirt drainage ditch between the lot and the 8 lane divided highway. She must have been a sprinter because she ran the .25 mile to the end of the lot slid down the ditch and ran up the other side. We figured she would stop there but she then proceeded to run across the 4 north lanes, hurdle the median, and continue to the other side where she was picked up by the getaway car.
Security didn't run 20 feet from the door to the store...we all just stood there watching her go. |

You guys really need to take the next step and join a LARP. That's basicly what you are doing. |

Where the hell did he find a Murasame? Is he sure it was a Murasame? Was it signed? Which Murasame was it? ? There has been more than one swordsmith with that name. What as the era, style, and dimensions. And how is it that your friend was rich enough to drop 5 or six figures on a sword for an RPG? |

I am quite sure one of you two is referring to the wrong item.
My guess is that the LARPy dude went to the local stffer shack variant an got one of those cheap, horrible katana lookalikes. One of my friends has one and it was listed in the store's catalogue as -believe me- a "hunting knife". (funny legal loophole IMO) Cheers, Max |

Yeah... I would just stand and watch too. No freaking way I'd run through 4 lanes of traffic and such just to grab someone who has what... (maybe 200-300 dollars tops?) of merchandise. Not worth my life on that. |

I dunno, I think it would depend on my contract. If I got hit by a car and survived, presumably they'd have to pay my hospital bills, then pay for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life since I was injured on the job. I'd prefer to be a fat security guard who plays computer games all day than a fat security guard who actually has to guard stuff. |

This is assuming you survived the initial impact.

my thoughts exactly. Can it be guaranteed that you'll live the impact? What about paralyzation? I'd rather not.

Am I the only one laughing hysterically at the phrase "security breach at Super K-Mart"? |

Really? Dang, I thought you were older than that. Well, that's cool. Once you get to be my age, you want to take things a bit more carefully (most of the time). I just have so much more in life I want to get out of it, and playing Frogger is something I really can do without... plus, I was never that great with that game so it's best that I don't do that in real life. :P Back to the topic of the Super K-mart thing. That's something that's kind of neat. An infiltration run into a large department store for some reason. The hijinks you can do with that is great. Plus, there's so much open space with cover, it's kinda interesting. |

Actually the Super K thing was IRL...and we were just so dumbfounded at her speed that it was more awe than anything. One of the sec guys was a few steps behind her for ~50' but she outpaced him in a few seconds (she was really fast) so he just stopped & walked back.
As for the cars...it was 03:00 on a weeknight in San Antonio...not many cars on 281 at that time of night. Using the local as a run would be interesting but, it would probably be similar to a stuffer shack (or the food fight mod) depending on the time of day & the location of the store. If nothing it would make a good "fun run" for some keystone cops type run. |
