Lightsworn Panda

I find it rather ironic that for some reason, the censors here in China block me from opening some of the spoiler boxes. The MLP community does take a bit of flame across the internet, sadly. Look on the bright side, Chaos! 17th Shard has, at the time of this post, 7,500 members, and almost 200,000 posts!

What. The. Calamity. Has. Happened!? Seriously. I stop posting in this subforum for a month, deeming it to be dead and overrun by the DA, and in my (seemingly timely) absence the Social Groups subform has experienced a complete revival of activity. Why is my timing always so terrible!?

(Cough) (Takes cookie anyway)

I find it extremely antagonizing that here in China, the only available copies of Firefight are Chinese copies, and my Chinese isn't good enough to read it. I think I finally realized why my parents told me to learn more Chinese.

For me, the Sea of Fanfic is rather indistinguishable from the Sea of Horrors. Maybe it's because I use Fanfiction.net.

Claincy, to answer your question, I'm in China right now, but my laptop is set to Melbourne time. Unodus, Wyrm was a Thug - an ability which grants him a second life - so he was lynched just then, but he still has one life left (Edgar dying represents Wyrm losing one of his lives).

Okay, I can finally post now. Currently, I'm in China - and as I've said before in other place - the WiFi here is pretty limited, so I only get a few short windows in a day to check in on whats happening here, so I won't be able to participate a lot in the main discussions. Kas, in my view, was probably killed because he' such a dangerous player. For those of you who haven't seen him in action, look at the Eliminator doc for Long Game 5, or any of the other games he's played. There's also the possibility that Kas accidentally came into contact with an Eliminator and perhaps got too daring, and as a result got executed. Kas tends to play a bit more daringly when he's a vanilla (he said so himself in previous games) and maybe he took one risk too many. Peng, you still haven't posted or given reason for your inactivity. Care to come out? Edit: (Sigh)

Unodus, it's the Tineye that can post messages, not the Seekers. The Tineyes or Mistborns also could have easily lied in their messages, so the messages aren't a concrete way of confirming things. Considering the number of Eliminators in this game, there's a fair chance that there is an Eliminator Mistborn. I'll have more discussion coming soon, but I have to quickly do something right now.

You know, we should make an (good-natured) award for making the first accidental post in a game. Pardon me for not explaining it clearly. I wasn't exactly "gung-ho" in my enthusiasm to get everyone started. I just wanted to nudge people into getting a conversation started. Also, by the time I had checked in on the forum again on Day 1, we already had a pretty good discussion going, and since I really only wanted to get it started, I wasn't particularly inclined in joining.

Apologies for the inactivity. I didn't have anything particularly good to contribute yesterday, and I spent most of today writing essays and such. Peng, I second Kas in calling you out. Ever since the game started, you've made only one post, and that was: You gave no reasoning for the post, other than hinting that you were swayed by someone's opinion. You haven't given a reason for your inactivity, and you've been active elsewhere on the forum. Could you please pop in and explain your actions? Wyrm, it's the Night Cycle. As for why I didn't vote, I didn't have any particular conviction in any of the suspects being evil. Also, I wasn't exactly very eager to start the lynching. I just wanted to win the award of being the first person to vote in the game (My award list is feeling a bit empty after My Goodie Two Shoes Award was finally struck off). Edit: Colour Welcome to the the club, Wyrm.

Would a sentient deer created by The Panda be alright?

Well, my RP's finally up! My sincerest apologies yet again for taking so long to write it. I kind of rushed this RP, so feedback and pointed-out mistakes would be nice.

Sebastian Ling fell to his knees before the glowing vision of perfection. Never had he seen something so biologically perfect, so supremely artistic, so utterly beautiful. Looking down at his own hands, Sebastian was suddenly overcome with an overwhelming disgust them. Never had he realized how absolutely repulsive they were. Look out how horrifyingly bony they were! How awfully and pathetically skinless! How disgusting and obnoxious were the nails! Looking further down at himself, Sebastian shuddered at the sight of his own imperfection and filthiness. An ethereal voice broke through his sudden epiphany. You do not have to suffer this curse. Sebastian looked back up at the Radiant Panda hovering before him in surprise. You can join our ranks. You can Ascend above your fellow mortals. You can discard your human frailty. You can become a Panda. Tears of emotion had welled up in Sebastian's eyes at the Radiant Panda's enlightening and merciful words. Do you wish to become a Panda? "Y...Yes." The words left Sebastian's lips before he realized it, but he truly wanted to throw away his human patheticness and become a true being. He truly wanted to be a panda. The Radiant Panda smiled kindly down at Sebastian. That is good. However, others are still afflicted by your curse. In the back of Sebastian's head, in the part that was the Panda dreaming this event, the Panda blinked in surprise. This dream did not normally proceed like this. Normally, the Radiant Panda would have given him the task of creating a haven for pandas. The Radiant Panda's benevolent expression creased into a disappointed frown. Sebastian was suddenly assaulted with a monolithic feeling of disappointment and sadness. The very force of the emotions almost knocked him over from his kneeling position. I am disappointed in you, Panda. The Panda gasped in both amazement at being addressed directly by the Radiant Panda and in horror at disappointing the Radiant Panda. Your task was to create a haven for pandas. You were also tasked to rid the humans of the human corruption that once cursed you. "Your... Your Brilliance, I... I have not..." Do not irk me any more with your meaningless excuses The Panda snapped his jaws shut, quivering in fear and reverence. Why have you made your siege so slow? Why have you not taken the city of The Dalles by force yet? Your army of Pandas and Epics can easily overwhelm whatever puny defenses the city has. Why have you chosen to disappoint me? "I... I beg your forgiveness, Your Mag...Magnificence! I will do ask you command!" THEN GO AND BRING FORTH THE GLORIOUS PANDA REVOLUTION! The almighty roar from the Radiant Panda hurtled The Panda backwards, flinging him like a doll backwards, backwards towards a light... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Panda jerked awake with a surprised and most pandarish squeak. After the most masculine had finished emitting itself from his lips, The Panda lay panting and heaving in shock in his chair. "Muh lurhd puunduh?" inquired a voice from behind him. Still shaking in emotion from his vision, The Panda replied, "What is it, Corporal Bibbuhs?" Corporal Bibbuhs, as pandas went, had a fairly normal appearance. However, while he was still being transformed from a screaming human, Bibbuhs had somehow damaged his vocal chords mid-change, and as a result could not pronounce his vowels properly. The Panda had decided not to heal Bibbuhs voice, simply because of the hilarious utterings he could eject. For example, his name. "Duh youh needh uh buuhtle uf mulk? Luust tuime youh wouk up frum a nuightmuare luike thuis, youh wuh squeakingh fur mulk. Shouldh uh fuutch theh babyh buuhtle youh used luust tuime?" "No, I don't need that baby bottle. Yet. Is there any particular important reason why you're reporting right now?" "Yuhs, muh lurhd puunduh. Thuh Readuh hus beenh successfuhly capchuhed. Whut duh youh wunt tuh douh wuith huim?" The Panda frowned in irritation. A fire had started burning inside him, ignited and kindled by the vision he had. For too long had the people of The Dalles whiled their days away in their pathetic and weak human bodies. For too long had he held off the Glorious Panda Revolution. "Bring the Reader along with us. Sound the horns. We are going to attack The Dalles." Corporal Bibbuhs saluted The Panda. As Bibbuhs hand descended from his salute, a mournful and haunting cry rose from the nearby forts. One by one, the other forts joined in with their horn calls. As one, the doors of the forts slammed open, releasing a torrent of black and white, wreathed in red laquer armour. Behind the deluge of pandas thundered hundreds upon hundreds of animals, from animals as large as elephants to the smallest gerbil, all sprouting teeth and claws and all whipped into a frenzy of bloodlust. The Panda himself sprouted a majestic pair of black and white wings and took to the sky. Behind him followed the battalion of flying pigs that had previously devastated The Dalles, this time armed with baskets of exploding termites. Looking down at the mass of animals converging on The Dalles, The Panda took in an abnormally deep breath and roared a battle cry so loud that it could be heard as far as the distant valleys.

Okay, so I've finally completed most of my RP (My Apologies again for not writing it sooner. Yes, I am aware that I stumped the RP in The Dalles due to my inactivity. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.). However, there's a few things I'd like to put out. First, the Pandas are going to invade the Dalles in earnest. Does anyone have objections against floods of pandas swarming the streets of The Dalles? Second, I'm going to introduce a certain Panda subordinate by the name of Corporal Bibbuhs. Here's my profile of him: Does anyone take offence from this word-garbling? If you do, please notify me, and I will take him away from the RP. My sincerest apologies to those I have unintentionally offended.

I was also contacted by Eolhondras. According to him, he sent those messages as an "Icebreaker". However, considering how he hasn't stepped up to defend himself, despite being online, I find that awfully erratic, if not suspicious.

Apologies for the mistake. We pandas rely on ours sense of smell more than our eyesight.

Well, I have to say, this is probably the game with the most Eliminators I've ever seen. Provided that Meta didn't go overboard with his trolling and didn't change the Eliminator to Villager ratio, there should be around 5-6 Eliminators. I can't even remember a game that had 5 Eliminators (Working together. Wyrm's MR Game doesn't really count, since the Eliminators didn't know who each other were). Digging the Spiked out will take quite some. I estimate that this Game will probably last for at least 5 Cycles. Now, to continue the old tradition of getting some discussion by voting for someone. Wyrm, have you got anything to contribute to the discussion? Edit: Do I really need to keep explaining my colour editor?

Sorry for the recent inactivity. As I said in my post in the Question Thread, I'm currently working with limited Wi-Fi. I probably won't be able to make a RP post until late January, 2015. Holy Harmony! That's a lot of world-building you've done, Seonid! Take my upvotes!

I've never made a New Year's Resolution before. In fact, I'd never heard of it until this year (Yes, I do live at the bottom of a well. Panda's can live in any habitat, provided there's a decent supply of bamboo). Well, here goes! 1. To procrastinate less. 2. To improve in League of Legends. 3. To finally get a girlfriend. 4. To be able to work out an effective work schedule that can accommodate for unseen circumstances. 5. To be a better person.

Well, sorry for the recent inactivity. I'm currently in China, the land of slow if not limited Wi-Fi. At least there's plenty of my brethren padding around. Mail-Mi, would Reader want to be pandafied? I'm planning to finally write another RP by tomorrow.

A re-run of the first game? Of course Jain (who's just a traveler) and his toy panda are in!

That Fullmetal Alchemist reference. Have an upvote. Sadly, I'll have to resign from this Game, since I'm going to be going somewhere without Wi-Fi (again, unfortunately). Looks like this is going to be the first game I'll not attend since my joining. Edit: Once the games starts, could you send me the Spectator Doc, Peng? Thanks.

You'd think that the most annoying thing about Australia would be the hordes of creepy-crawlies marching around in the outback, but I think it's actually the extremely delayed release dates of everything. KingKiller, you may want to put the movie spoilers inside a spoiler tag.

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS VOTED WYRM FOR PRESIDENT!?
