Guess why I was entirely absent.

SOMEONE USED AN ABILITY ON ME THAT PREVENTED ME FROM POSTING AND/OR VOTING.

Something similar's happened to me today--I can't vote today. Unlucky me.

To top it off with urine, I was role blocked last night. Again.

The Moonlit Shadow, have this "vote", for being TBF's scumbuddy. Or at least, that's my theory.

So... You were targeted by three people on N1, and two people on N2..?

Arkham had a hard-mode for NG+ that did this, at least for City and Knight.

Assassin's Creed has no combat system. All you do is hold block and ocassionally hit the attack button.

There is pretty much no similarity between Arkham combat and AC combat, beyond the existence of fighting in the games.

All three are counter-driven systems punctuated by special ability use. Please don't act like either SoM or Arkham require more than clicking a button or countering, please. I've played more than enough of all three games across their entire series to feel comfortable saying that. They're all counter-kill combo fighting systems. SoM just has more "Fuck you" enemies that then invalidate said counters.

Christ, AC has heavies, Arkham has shield guys, SoM has guys just invulnerable to counters. The same combat system flavored three different ways.

There is much more nuance to the Arkham combat system than AC though, as Nighthawk pointed out. Mordor is much more similar to Arkham than it is to AC.

We already have a Na Me.

Why?

So we don't clutter up the thread with our random chatter?

There are such things as OOC threads, where the random chatter will go.

Name: Ceartas

Sphere: Justice

Appearance: Eyeless old man wearing utilitarian, loose-fitting clothes. Carries a long staff and has a set of worn bronze scales somewhere on his person, often used to weigh the merits of any argument about justice.

Symbol: Set of scales

Description: While Ceartas has his own preferred ways of doing things, he believes a Justice system has to be organic, freely chosen by its subjects, in order to be effective. Thus, he tends to take a hands-off approach to his creations' development, guiding them if they ask for it, or introducing various challenges if they start to stagnate.

He likes long walks on the beach in the Void, gently ribbing his fellows, and in-depth discussions on just how wrong you are varieties of Justice.

Alright, I'll consider doing my own revival now. Anyone interested? Might be fun to have KJP as a player for once .

I'd be up for it, though this depends on the mechanics.

You said it yourself, the play style doesn't last long in a game, mostly because people can't look past petty insults.

Roo exited that game as soon as the GM voiced reservations about his presence, and there was a bit of a telling off from the more experienced players about starting that poll rather than saying no.

Unless either of you are going to take this to the banter thread, you should probably keep shtum. It's a somewhat dickish move to be "talking behind someone's back" when that person can read what you're saying, and you're assuming because he's an ass in the game that he's an ass outside the game.
