Oh noes! The article! I might as well trademark late articles, but that would set a bad example. I think I’m going to start putting more effort into this article during the course of each week. I think my readers deserve it, and hey! I just realized that Christmas is in a week! Christmas Forum Sunday? Hmmm…. But I digress. Forum Sunday is here.
 

Announcements

I’m going to reserve this spot for announcements that need to be made. That update we had could be one thing mentioned. I’ll let Daemon decide what to put here if anything.

Animu and Mango

Y U NO PAY?! Anyway, it would seem that getting manga in Sweden is a bit more difficult than I imagined it would be. Swedish translated manga are less common than English translated ones but a lot cheaper. That’s weird. Well, Xiga, it seems you’re only option is to turn 18 and support creators through online purchases. Good luck on your escapade!

No Fairy Tail. *sad face* but… the chapter it left off with was… Oh, I’ll put it in the way Zero Phoenix put it: GAAAAAAAYYYYYY. Hyperbolic chamber effect plus sins already forgiven without a second thought :/ Come on, Mashima. You can do better. Air Gear has confused our readers so much that they don’t even know what’s going on anymore.

Hey, you remember Sasuke? Well, he made an appearance in the latest chapter just to disappear right after. Can’t forget that he’s the main character, right? Troll.png

Bleach? Anticlimactic. One Piece? Still doing awesome. What’d you expect? Anyway, how about another recommendation from our dear Pimp? This week’s recommendation is Gamaran.

In the middle of the Edo Period, many different styles of martial arts have been developed and there is a huge desire for power in the hearts of men. These people gather in one state. At the same time, the Daimyo of Unabara is looking for a successor, so what he does is he asks his 31 sons to find a martial artist of a certain style and have them participate in a tournament called The Grand Tournament of Unabara. The winner of the tournament will be titled the strongest fighter in the land and the son that sponsored the winner will become the Daimyo’s successor. Meanwhile, while in the mountains, Naoyoshi Washitzu, one of the 31 sons, looks for the legendary swordsman, Jinsuke Kurogane, the man known as “The Thousand Man Slayer” but comes to find that the swordsman has been missing for years. He instead finds his son, Gama Kurogane. After a test of his abilities, Naoyoshi has Gama become his fighter in the tournament. Will this duo succeed and gain what they desire?

Did this capture your interest? Go read this manga if it did. When you do, come back and discuss it in our Gamaran discussion thread. We await your response!

And I want to give a quick shout out to roselilya for making and updating those weekly rating threads. Thanks for your hard work! But I want to give Zero Phoenix a shout out as well for making an extremely comprehensive review for the latest anime released. Despite writing it late at night, you sure know your way around writing.

General Talk

Gentlemen, let us discuss cars. What car do you own? What car would you like to own? What problems have you run into concerning the maintenance of your vehicle? Am I asking too many questions? Would you prefer that I just put in the link to the discussion instead of asking you more questions? Do you feel better now?

Oh, Darken. Don’t hide it. You are a true Brony alerting everyone of a new pony thead, which by the way had an amazing stop motion video featuring gundams and Fluttershy. Hey, do we have a MLP:FiM discussion thread somewhere? I mean Spike finally…! That would be a bit of a spoiler if you haven’t seen the tenth episode of the second season. Oh, and Kim Jong Il died.

You know, when I was a kid, the floor was ALWAYS made of lava, stepping on cracks would incapacitate my mother through means of a supernatural breaking of her spine. Many, many things…

Anyway, new members! Yay! Mostly returning members. Hello Roxis, Aker, Kusanagi, and Loli. I hear that Kusanagi likes them black arse. And guys, welcome Michiii for me will ya?

D< STOP THE SKYRIM DISCUSSIONS!! IT MUST DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!! And what’s this? Xiga likes them Aussie accents, eh? Wow, I feel dumb breaking this part of the article in a weird way.

Soul Sanctuary

That abstract signature winner… my goodness! That thing is otherworldly! Seriously, check that shit out! It definitely deserved to win. Can you make something of that quality? I know for sure that I can’t. That is years away from me. Let’s try our hand in a different theme then. How about Christmas? Entries are being taken now. And when you’re done sending it in, vote for the tag you think deserves to win from those Mirror themed entries.

Heh heh heh. Someone did what I told them to do and reviewed the new writings. Does this mean I make Hadriel do stuff? :O Maybe I control Kojo too when I wrote about crwallenberg’s photos.

Shadowolf has started a new writing. It contains mature content so I’m not linking it >_> Find it yourself. And Amu, you never told me that you write poems. Why keep me in the dark for so long!!! Read her poems!

Magical Lyrical Assassin Games

Nightmare Gear, you’re such a pervert <_< Stop looking at me!

World of Adventures

Yes! Informant achieved! Thank you HappyNisa ^_^

Apparently Shadowolf is more important that I knew. A previous moderator of the RP section and the writing section. Nice. It would seem that a wind generator took the wind right out of you. Gotta love real life. Banchou is no longer a moderator. *gasp* Don’t worry, though. HappyNisa is helping and we have a new addition to the moderation team. His name is Andre Valias.

Anyway, Shadowolf has started a new role play called Madness Prevails which has sign ups right now! What is this role play about? Well, it’s about madness! Really, what were you expecting with a title like Madness Prevails? Madness has descended upon the land and only a few people are left that are sane. The Insane have gone and created some sort of city called Havocland, but get this: it’s only in the mind! Not much is known about this place but it keeps growing.

More new RPs coming your way! Hentai Kamen has started a new role play but that name… yikes! That is way too long and confusing. Chojayeonjeog-in Godeunghaggyo Ssaum 초자연적인 고등학교 싸움 It’s about three martial arts schools in Korea that have survived the tests of time. They’ve been around for a while, let me tell ya! These schools are firm in their belief of channeling chi to their martial arts despite modern times, so they have disguised themselves as highschools. Interesting, no? Sounds a bit like Samurai High School.

You can’t forget existing RPs, right?

Knights of the Omnipotent: Well, the battle against a corrupt goddess has begun. Both sides require assistance. Will you choose to fight with or against this goddess?

Kristall Pevitsa: a tale of a New Era of Earth: Gaea didn’t have to choose to break the crystal or not. The choice was for her instead. Zeek is now a crystal monster. Jill remains apprehensive in trusting Zeek, but even so, Zeek comes to Jill’s rescue to bring retaliation against the Sapphire Creature that injured Jill. Will Zeek be strong enough to defeat it?

Bloody tears — When the moon cries: The village is set ablaze. Camilla and her mysterious gang are the culprits. During the blaze, Lleh carries two unconscious people named Neveah and Satoru to the local doctor. These two happen to be half vampires, but it is unknown to them. The doctor agrees to help them. In the night, Neveah comes to the realization of what she is and, through blood lust, attacks the Doctor. Meanwhile, Camilla calls Lleh out to alert him that their master has been waiting for him. In the forest, some people are still attempting to reach the village.

Wow, this is a lot of stuff written here. You still reading? Have a cookie.

Terra Incognita

Obese children are being taken away from their parents. The reason? The parents are making the kids unhealthy. Is this too much or should something else be done?

Muffin Town

Le gasp! The Moé Meganekko Imperial Capitol has been infused with life! It lives once again!

Aker no likey his boss.

Che! Why is this still going on? I thought Ditto was declared winner? No Feebas!

Zero Phoenix will begin his reign as Judge Magister Zero Phoenix to strike down ignorance and bigotry and to get more females to participate in Terra Incognita.

Interviews

Guess what? I got an interview! Hadriel has been gracious enough to let me get an interview.

• Placa: So…. how’s life?
• Hadriel: It’s pretty relaxed for now. It’s the year-end holidays, so I’ve got nothing much to do except slack and go on holiday.
• Placa: I see. Any plans for the holiday?
• Hadriel: Well, I’m going to Japan next week ^w^
• Placa: *gasp* :O Lucky! >_<
• Hadrie:l IKR? I’ll get to see snow and stuff, and Japan’s awesome architecture.
• Placa: Damn it! Let’s change the subject. Any juicy info you want to share with the world? >:3
• Hadriel: I’m actually working on a series of light novels about a group of time travelers. I’m about 35,000 words into the first novel.

  I also compose music. Orchestral music, mostly.

• Placa: Time travelers? Do tell! Who’s the main character? What’s this person like? And you compose music? You sure like to try your hand at a lot of things, don’t you?
• Hadriel: Well, the main character is a guy called Aki. Not all of the plot macro details have been set in stone yet, so I’ll keep more info secret for now. The plot flows kinda like D.Gray-man (which is where I got inspiration from).

  And yes, I like to try a lot of things.

• Placa: Ah, D.Gray-man. Nice.
• Hadriel: You spelled “best manga ever” wrongly.
• Placa: T__T Uh huh. What would you say was your greatest achievement?
• Hadriel: I have none.
• Placa: Lies.
• Hadriel: I really don’t have any achievements ;A;
  I’m not talented in anything to begin with.
• Placa: Alright, alright. I bet you that the comments will be flooded with “You’re VERY talented, Hadriel! You just don’t see it >_<"
• Hadriel: lolno
• Placa: Whatever. Why do you still consider yourself a newb GFXer?
• Hadriel: Because my sigs still don’t look professional. I think I’ve got some of the basics down, but it’s really the fine-tuning that distinguishes a pro sig from a newb one, and I don’t have the ability in that.
• Placa: Fine tuning, you say. Well, at least you’re better than me. I was thinking of joining the Mirror themed SOTW. Even had a stock picked out. Then I realized I didn’t even know where to start.
• Hadriel: Well, Mirror is a pretty hard theme to do. I have no idea either, and I don’t think many other have any idea as well, as evidenced by the fact that we’ve got one entry so far.
• Placa: 1 Entry?! Dang ._.
• Hadrie:l Now we have two o_o
• Placa:Cool. Anyway, why the trapiness?
• Hadriel: What trapiness? I’m not a trap. I might be a reverse-trap, but not a trap o_o
• Placa: Trap. Reverse-trap. It’s all traps!
• Hadriel: >__<
• Placa: Heh heh heh. Alright, alright.
• Hadriel: >////////< *slaps*
• Placa: Thank you, ma’am. May I have another? I digress. How would you help this Placa advertise the RP section?
• Hadriel: I would suggest you focus on a particular RP and generate lots of hype about it.
• Placa: Really? Have a specific one in mind?
• Hadriel: Well, Witcher has a cyberpunk-themed RP coming up which has a really cool premise, so I think that might be interesting.
• Placa: Really? Tell me more.
• Hadriel: Well, I’m not sure, actually, but I think it has to do with detectives and bounty hunters. Ask Witcher himself for more info.

  Now ‘scuse me while I do SOTW stuff

Haddy walked up and left after that. Busy busy busy.

That concludes this week’s issue of Forum Sunday. Now that I’m on vacation, maybe I can get in an article on time! Wish me luck!
