    SPOILER ALERT
    Skip to 9:00


    To name a few, Fist fighting a mech with anime MMO level armor (aka NO ARMOR AT ALL). Bottomless clips. breaking your damn spine to dodge a flying car. jumping massive gaps... I could go on and on. Also my personal favorite. TPing to your space ship to evade a battle your loosing. Also reading minds. Just... How do they know what eachother is thinking.

    Just.... Don't do this. This is every example of everything you can do under the sun to piss people off duirng an RP fight

    There are other reasons, pointed out in this thread, which aren't even close to the ones pointed out.

    And for the reason it has been already discussed, this thread won't shed much more light into the matter.

    I disagree. Putting up more signs will allow for more people to be exposed! Not everyone crawls the forums for information, taking for example a recent OOC post that was placed into an IC thread because the player couldn't find the OOC thread.

    I'm not sure I understand you. Which 'thread link' are you referring to, this one or the one you posted?

    Is anyone learning anything new from this? If you're basing your character off of a fucking anime protagonist, you shouldn't be RPing. This is 101.

    The one she posted. I agree with Keycross, in any case. These threads keep popping up and they also always seem to just devolve into pointing fingers, rage posts, flame wars, etc. Given past posts, this sort of thread has already proved its point and there seriously doesn't need to be so many. Also, this post isn't meant to be hostile, but more to look at it from an analytical standpoint. These threads only ever really get out of hand.

    Mark my words. One day, we'll have a rule against anime characters.

    *clenches fist, shakes it*

    One day...

    Yeah, I agree with you there.

    Michael fucking makes the whole of it though. What a fucking lad. Holy shit. I was skeptical when he joined up because I was a fan of his before he got there, and he pretty much abandoned everyone on his old channel (but then he started making Full Play so it was pretty much just his channel being moved over to Achievement Hunter).

    As for Monty, he seems like a cool guy, but RWBY is terrible, not everything about it mind, but to harvest the good points and put it into some thing else good you'd need to scrap the whole thing. But... This is coming from a guy who's only seen montages, and even those were created to ridicule the show.

    But Monty does seem like a bro though.

    Well, unlike most other people doing... Star Wars actually has a decent buildup of how they ICly were able to get that powerful, and get, well, the Death Star. Everything had a backstory, and things were actually written out.
    However, RWBY made everything such BS. How did Yang get those infinite-ammo shotty-gauntlets? How did Ruby ge- You know what, screw it. Red vs Blue anytime.

    Synthetic humans, mega magical girls, and wtf's oh my. I suppose the difference with RBWY is all the main players are like that and it's perfectly um...normal for their world because magic? Dunno. That sort of magic stuff definitely isn't in Starbound.

    I do like the "Ooooo, that's a big robot." "How did he get that?" *story moves on*

    And somehow the mech beating the crud out of the yellow one made her stronger? Real life definitely doesn't work that way.
