Ah yes... the brick... omnipresent spillpoint of chaos and order in the goof off.

*summons brick and throws it at Zarn yet a third time*

[Dante]

: But alas... the brick never obeys Temulin... :

: Thus brick avoids Zarn... and hits Pascal instead :

: BONK :

: OK, so maybe the brick does obey Temulin... but once in a while it feels like bashing it's creator... well the person who believes he created the brick... in reality, the brick has been and the brick always will be... It really serves no purpose in the universe and it likely had a creation date... but no one remembers when that was except God... and he's not telling . :

[USSRGirl]

... The brick gets Temulin's obscure video game referrences...

[Peanut]

The Brick gets Peanut...and that's saying something...

[Kaligraphic]

The Brick gets the common flu.

That said, it seems like New Era has become less an rp than a straight-up strategy game. I miss the wackiness of War and Peace.

[Peanut]

Sorry Kali...blame my school's proxies or whatever isn't allowing me to get on CAA...otherwise we could continue playing the old Of Nations...and there still is some wackiness...I mean...Zohar forging a letter in Peanut's hand that insults Ryuken's mother is pretty wacky...the ensuing beat down should also be wacky as well and I look forward to it...greatly.

[Zarn Ishtare]

*Zarn picks up the brick*


"Hello, friends!"

*Smashes a pumpkin with said brick*

[USSRGirl]

*The pumpkin reforms in blood-thirsty zombie guise and eats Zarn's leg off*

Welcome back.

[Kaligraphic]

Zarn! Yay!

Maybe we can get the old Of Nations rp up and moving again.

[Peanut]

...I have returned...which is good news for some and bad news for others...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

[Kaligraphic]

Alright, get back to posting in War and Peace, ye scurvy RL-lovers! *cracks whip*

[Dante]

Pokes thread so that it returns to the top of the list... Wonders if this thread could be renovated for all N&S threads on the RPG, for there are now... three O_O, yes three RPs are related to the communist inclinations and world take-over ambitions of Temulin. A couple of years ago when this all started, who would have ever thought right?

-Pascal

[Peanut]

Technically there are only two...The Great TOCAA/Temuopolis War is a spin off of Of Nations...and not a "I'm sort of in the same universe spin off and therefore contain similar rules" but a "I just stole your basic idea and placed it in a different universe spin off." Which brings up a very interesting fact about Of Nations and States...I think we are the only RP which can boast having not just one but two spin offs...add that to our ever growing list of credentials...

u.u And so my legacy lives on...

In a number of failed attempts to take over the world...yay failure!

Random Poke

[Peanut]

And from the depths of nothing emerges Hakaii!!!

Anyway, how's it going Hakaii? Good to see you again...

[Dante]

And once again he vanishes into the sea of Reploids... whose ever growing forces now outnumber the forces of the undead

[Peanut]

And once again he vanishes into the sea of Reploids... whose ever growing forces now outnumber the forces of the undead

Ah symbolism...wait...does this mean that if Puritan was to post here randomly one day he would disappear into the sea of cyborgs? Or if Zarn posted here, would he disappear into the sea of immortals? And what about Kofi-Ann (pardon me if I misspelled that name...it's been a while)? Would she disappear into the sea of the UN? And what about Sc*th?

Edit:

*And so, it came to pass that Emperor Peanut got bored, again, and decided to hold another tournament in his moon base. This time, the ones who were invited were characters from the new Of Nations and States RP. Yes, this breaks every law of continuity I can think of...but really I don't care...a bracket was drawn up...and seeds were rewarded...and the second Of Nations and States Tournament was set into motion! After a grueling qualifying contest involving toothpaste, Guy Fawkes masks, my big toe, and wii motes, the 9 participants were choosen. And the bracket was set...*

The Participants (arranged by ranking...):
1.Ryuken
2.Zohar
3.Xaxtorm
4.Mirzen
5.Genki
6.Zann Ishtare
7.Raven
8.Komai
9.Artimidorus

Play in game:
8.Komai vs. 9.Artimidorus

Round 1:
Fight 1: 1.Ryuken vs. winner of 8.Komai vs. 9.Artimidorus
Fight 2: 2.Zohar vs. 7.Raven
Fight 3: 3.Xaxtorm vs. 6.Zann
Fight 4: 4.Mirzen vs. 5.Genki

Round 2:
Fight 5: Winner of Fight 1 vs. Winner of Fight 4
Fight 6: Winner of Fight 2 vs. Winner of Fight 3

Championship:
Winner of Fight 5 vs. Winner of Fight 6

(OOC: Some notes for everyone:
-This is the second Of Nations and States tournament...I'd suggest you read the first one. Maybe Pascal can put it in the Great Library so you won't have to search through Code.D.Floss for it.
-If you have a problem with the rankings, then you have yourself to blame. I based them off of what you described your characters powers to be and my opinion of those powers power. However none of this really matters because...
-...all the fights are determined by random means (aka coin flip, lottery, etc...). I did this for all but one fight in the last tournament since it eliminates my bias. The one fight I didn't do it for was a rather special fight that had to be an upset since...well...it just wouldn't of been funny if it wasn't...
-I couldn't include every character since that would take too long. The one primary character I missed, Aki, will be doing something else...so he will be involved...
-This is meant to be funny and nothing else. I will make fun of things in the RP and anything is fair game. Don't worry, I am careful to hit myself with this as well...in the last tournament the fight between Zarn and I was a two part epic involving more talking then a DBZ episode...yeah...

That's everything, so enjoy the tourney...)

Preview
*Intro music starts up. And the Two Ninja Monkey Announcers appear behind a desk right outside of the newly christened “Zarn Ishtare Memorial Arena.”*
Ninja Monkey Announcer 1: Well, it’s march which means it’s time for the second Of Nations and States Tournament!

Ninja Monkey Announcer 2: Preview…


NMA1: Wait…so you mean there is no violence today?

NAM2: Nope, because this year we introduce Emperor Peanut’s patented ranking system.

NAM1: Emperor Peanut’s patented ranking system? We have rankings now?!

NAM2: Yep. Peanut decided that we should copy the NCAA Basketball tournament and seed our fighters.

NAM1: Oh…so when do they sprout?

NAM2: No, seed as in how strong they are…

NAM1: Oh…so how was this determined?

NAM2: Didn’t you pay attention to anything in the production meeting?

NAM1: We had a production meeting?!

NAM2:…anyway, seeding was determined by a vigorous qualifier round. This determined the 9 strongest world leaders…however it was not without controversy. Yes, one of the new Of Nations greatest leaders, Aki, didn’t make the cut and joins all the other worthless secondary characters that nobody cares about. Aki choose not to talk but his agent did hold a press conference…here’s a clip.

*On the TV screen, a podium appears with a microphone. On it is Lord Kalvin’s head and behind him is Aki, who is wearing sunglasses and a smug face that screams “I’m not happy…”*

Lord Kalvin: The Aki, has declined to speak because the Aki can do that…unlike you reporters. So I will answer your questions. Yes, the Aki is very upset that he got cut from the field and believes that he is ten times better than any fighter there. The Aki, and his country, have decided to boycott these games for this very reason. I will neither confirm nor deny that there was a card game played in which Komai cheated the Aki out of his right to be in this tournament. *A really nice watch with Aki’s name on it appears and floats above Lord Kalvin’s head* And I will neither confirm nor deny that I won the Aki’s watch in that card game as well. But I will confirm that the Aki stinks at poker and should probably avoid any Of Nations and States Poker nights from now on. Thank you.

*The Ninja Monkey Announcers appear on the TV screen again*

NAM1: Since when did Lord Kalvin’s head become anyone’s agent?

NAM2: Since he looked at his salary…anyway, today we will go talk shortly about three topics, who’s the tourney favorite, whose a dark horse and who we believe will win this tournament. So let’s start with the first question? Ninja Monkey Announcer 1, who do you think is the tournament favorite?

NAM1: Well that’s easy, it’s my number one home boy Ryuken. Did you know Ryuken’s tears can cure cancer? Too bad he never cries…

NAM2:…ok…despite your odd logic for thinking that, I have to agree with you. Ryuken had no problem getting into this tournament and just looked like a beast during the qualifier round. But, with this being said, last tourney’s favorite Lord Kalvin looked about as unbeatable as Ryuken and was upset in his first match. So it can happen again. Of course…Rei looked a little stronger then who Ryuken may face…neither Komai nor Artimidorus really looks like much of a threat and, frankly, I have no clue how they qualified. The winner of their match will face Ryuken by the way. Next question, whose your dark horse?

NAM1: Oh well that’s easy, it’s Raven. You see, a Raven is a rather dark bird so I figure she fits the role of Dark Horse since she’s the only animal in this contest.

NAM2:…what? No, Raven isn’t…ah nevermind…personally I think it’s a tossup between Zann and the ever tricky Genki. Both of these competitors are clever and skilled. Trust me when I say this, one of these two will win their first match. I just have a gut feeling that though they are outmatched, they’ll manage to make an upset happen.

NAM1: That’s nice…but Raven’s going to whip Zohar.

NAM2:…your against Zohar?

NAM1: Yes…he was mean to Ryuken and thus doesn’t deserve my fandom…

NAM2: But…he’s a Ninja Monkey and basically like Peanut…

NAM1: Ryuken is my new Peanut…

NAM2: You know what…I was going to pick Ryuken to win this tournament…but now that you’ve said this I’m going with Zohar…just to spite you…plus I heard he trained with Peanut and Moley…

NAM1: OH! I’m sooooo scarred! NOT! Ryuken’s going to kill them just by looking at them cause he’s that awesome!

NAM2: Right…so there’s our preview show…turn in next time for the play in game that no one really cares about.

NAM1: A fight to the virtual death between Komai and Artimidorus!

[Hakaii]

OOC: hello all. I have not looked at this site in soooooo long. But I think I'll visit for a few good laughs and because of Pascal. But be warned! I am now a father of a 11 month old girl which means that no amount of pain,shock, horror, or dirty diapers can phase me. And 2, I have been playing World of Warcraft. And therefore am new and improved with more evil and a better graphics engine. LOL.

*A shadow of a figure sneaks it way through the stands of the Zarn Ishtare Memorial Arena.*

Figure: Popcorn?

[Dante]

I probobly should go hunt down last years tournament and place it inside of an old book within the great library, of course, can't really do that now... I need to get some rest.

-Pascal

[Peanut]

No need to, I saved every fight. I'll just send you the file via e-mail...oh and, welcome back new and improved Hakaii!

-Peanut

[Kaligraphic]

So was that Hakaii or Hakaii Jr posting?

[Peanut]

So was that Hakaii or Hakaii Jr posting?

Both I'm guessing...

[Kaligraphic]

Reploid and Replica. Sounds like they are more numerous than I am.

Fortunately, in the Goof Off wars, I have a son of posting age, so I still outnumber Hakaii there. (I really ought to diagram some of the relationships in this whole ball of wax.)

[USSRGirl]

>.O I call for a recount! This torny is biased! Why is Komai at the bottom of the food chain, huh, huh?


O.O Hakaii and........ Temulin Jr.!!!!! Well this is a surprise.

[Peanut]

>.O I call for a recount! This torny is biased! Why is Komai at the bottom of the food chain, huh, huh?

(OOC: I respond to that with two things, my original OOC comments which state that once the tourney starts I make sure my bias doesn't effect the results and with the following fight.)

Play in Fight
NMA1: This is it folks! The moment you have all been waiting for! The first fight of the tournament and boy should it be a good one!

NMA2: So good that we set a record for attendance…

NMA1: Yes, here at Zarn Ishtare Memorial Arena located on the Dark Side of the Moon, we have a crowd of *looks at his paper* negative three people?

NMA2: Yep…thank you gas prices…

NMA1: Wow…well at least it’s a record! Plus I know your all watching at home! So, what do you say Ninja Monkey Announce 2? Shall we give those at home a match to remember?

NMA2: Unfortunately, as much as I would love to kill you, it won’t be us who will be giving them a match to remember.

NMA1: Of course! It will be Komai and Artimidory…eh Artimidoras…um...

NMA2: You mean Artimidorus…

NMA1: Yes, Artimicorus…thank you…

NMA2: *sigh* Let’s just get to the killing…

*The virtual arena fires up for the first time, revealing a new stage. A virtual replica of Mount Olympus, Eleazar’s castle. Artimidorus appeared and walked to the gate.*
NMA2: And here comes Arti! They say he has the highest IQ of any of the Of Nations and States leaders. Let’s just hope he makes good use of it.

NMA1: Pshh…Ryuken is so much smarter…

NMA2:…right…moving on!

*From the shadows slithers Komai.*

NMA1: And here comes Komai, famous for back stabbing anyone who creates an alliance with her.

NMA2: Guess she doesn’t have too many friends.

NMA1: Actually, Arti and her are both friends and allies.

NMA2: Oh…eh…watch your back Arti…

*A referee appears between the combatants.*

Referee: BEGIN!!!!

*The Referee disappears. Komai draws a knife while Arti draws a sword.*

Komai: Alrighty Arti, let’s see what you got!

*Komai charges and slashes with the knife at Arti’s throat. Art barely manages to block it with his sword.*

NMA1: It looks like the sword is too heavy for Arti! Guess you should have done more push ups kid.

*Komai continues to slash at Arti with incredible speed and grace. Arti, barely manages to block each slash…his sword really is too heavy for him.*

Arti: Great…

Komai: My Arti, maybe if you hit the weights as much as you hit the books you’d be able to fight me.

Arti: Heh…shows how much you know. *Komai slashes again, this one grazes Arti’s cheek and causes some blood to spill to the ground.*

Komai: At this rate you’ll be dead. Really, Arti, I think your in over your head…just give up now.

Arti: Psh…like this audience hasn’t heard that before…allow me to teach you something Komai…*Komai slashes at Arti again, he manages to just block it.*

Komai: And that is?

Arti: All warfare is based on deception…*Suddenly, Arti swings his sword with amazing speed at Komai. Komai is caught off guard, but thanks to her speed manages to dodge the blade before it connects. Arti backs up and begins to spin the blade around him in a way that suggests that he is actually very skilled with bladed instruments.* You see Komai, I have been dishonest with you. I really am not as weak as you think and I am also very good with a sword. I was just pretending to be neither of them so I could test the extent of your own abilities.

NMA1: Oh and what a turn of events! Arti has just revealed that he actually isn’t a horrible stereotype of a genius. He has depth people, he has depth!

NMA2: Depth?

NMA1: As in his character…

NMA2: Ah…

*Komai is shocked, but Arti only gives her a few seconds to let the reality sink in. The next thing she knows, Arti is attacking again. Komai dodges each of Arti’s blows to the best of her ability, but eventually she backs herself into a corner. Arti stirkes, and insticitvely, Komai tries to block his sword with her knife. There is a loud snap as Komai’s knife shatters sending shards of metal everywhere. The next thing Komai knows, Arti’s blade is pointed at her throat.*

Arti: It’s over Komai. Give up and I’ll save you the disgrace of defeat.

Komai: Wow…eh, you got me Arti my boy…I give…

*Arti lowers his blade, suddenly Komai pulls out another knife and jabs it into the heart of Arti. Killing him instantly.*

NMA1: Oh and just when victory seemed to be in Arti’s grasp, Komai drives a dagger into his heart!

NMA2: Women…

NMA1: KOMAI WINS!!!

NMA2: Wait a minute, Komai gave up before she killed Arti. That means that, while dead, Art is the victor.

NMA1: Well…let’s see what the judges have to say about this!

*A television appears in the middle arena. It turns on to reveal Temulin’s very serious face.*

Temulin: We the judges have decided that Komai was merely putting a principle that Arti himself had used into practice. Therefore her action is both fair and legal, making her the victor not Arti. Also she never said “I give upâ€

[~darkelfgirl~]

Wow.

[Dante]

Genki: GO KOMAI! Wait... I trained Artimidorus... T_T... Oh well... you can only try so much... Besides which, cheering for Komai earns you free marshmellows!

: Rei walks in, ironically alive but completely covered in soot from head to toe... in fact his shoes are burnt off... He then pulls out a computer and leaves leaves it on the bench next to Genki. >_>. :

Genki: Huh? @_@ Cool, whaz this!

PASCAL: You're worst nightmare... leave me alone mwah ha ha ha!

Genki: Who? WHAT are you?

PASCAL: Never more then a memory Genki my boy... You want to know something, I rigged the tournaments... MWAH HA HA!!! so you had better face a horrible painful death like Rei over there at the end of the next battle...Wa- why is he still walking? Nevermind... Like I said, I demand that you die in battle and surrender pitifully to your hideous fate because I want to feel powerful!

Genki: Or else what? You don't seem all to powerful to me?

PASCAL: WHY YOU! Very well, I challenge you to a game of Go Fish just to prove my power!

: Genki loses to PASCAL in a game of Go Fish... PASCAL Cheats by looking in Genki's Go Fish Card Array... :

Genki: T_T That's... THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! So, tell me again why I should face a horrible painful death in the next match? I'm curious now, 'cause this is starting to get ... EXCITING! ~^_^~

PASCAL: Its very simple... if you don't die in the next battle, and Komai defeats Ryuken... as I am very much hoping she will... THEN I HAVE RIGGED IT SO THAT YOU MUST FACE HER IN MORTAL COMBAT... and sent out a bet to her that if you loose without dieing that you will be forced to submit to her demands for a marriage proposal! BWAH HA HA HA!!!

Genki: WHA-! GRRR!!!! ~~~ THAT'S A LIE, TAKE THIS YOU WORTHLESS MACHINE!!!
:Genki pauses... :
Genki: Question... if you know everything about this tournament who is going to win?

PASCAL: My calculations prove entirely that there is a 63.4% chance that the winner will be...

Genki: 63.4% that's not very good!

PASCAL: Well neither is the data kid... Anyways, as I was saying there is a 63.4% chance that the winner will be... MOLEY!

Genki: Wait... Moley isn't a contestant!

PASCAL: Never seemed to matter... anyways, I must go back to my plans to escape Hell and torture all of mankind... I heard there is a fire exit around here somewheres... it would be kind of useful and all... you know... with all this fire around. AHH!!! THE PITCHFORK MEN!!! AWAY AWAY!!!

: The computer screen goes blue with the words ERROR 665... somewheres in the background Zarn is still looking for a way to escape http://www.youfail.org/... :

:Genki shrugs his shoulders... :

Genki: Hmm... How can Komai consider the bet to be valid though if I didn't make it... well it doesn't matter... not like I could LOOSE to her anyways... besides which, if she was almost beat by Artimis how could *I* the great and powerful Genki ever fall to her...

: Rei walks back in >_>. :

Rei: Here's the sword of a thousand truths... it will give you the power to defeat all your oponents in battle! ^_^ (Evil grin)

Genki: Huh? GET OUT OF HERE YOU STUPID KID! Smacks Rei in the head with a golf club...

Rei: Why won't anyone be my friend! T_T

Genki: Hmm... this is a pretty nice weapon, I think I'll use it in the next round!

PASCAL: HAH! WE'LL JUS-

: Genki bashes the computer with the golf club blasting it into the distance... his weapon of choice for battle in hand... a golf club... with a brick on the end... whether or not it is THE Brick is still yet to be seen however... :

: Somewheres off in the distance a computer with the faint smell of Genki lies on the ground flickering. :

PASCAL: Now... to plot my-

Moley: NINJA MONKEY! I SMELL NINJA MONKEY ME KILLZ!

PASCAL: Who... Oh no NOT AGAIN! Wait I have a cheat code for all capital letters I'd like to show you mwah ha ha ha!!! Brains!

Rei: X_x ow... that had to hurt...
