The funds you have were squeezed from the many of us who are under the firm grasp of the Machine, and that money goes to keeping the bellys and pockets happy of its many cogs and gears.
You say they steal your money? True, but the truth is also that every dime you possess was stolen from the people and used for selfish gain.
I, however, have not stolen nor used any money generated by the Machine.
Your two parties are currupt and tainted.
2. You haven't ran, you've had your thread closed. Wonder why. Yeah, fees dude fees.
Evidently Shinra fails to understand Mullet's actions. Our platform as Election Booth pointed out is:
Mullet was only showing how easily Cid's Knights can abuse their powers. He was demonstrating what it would be like if Shinra ran EoFF. It would become fascist, with the media and voices controlled, threads being closed because they do not suit the needs of the Shinra agenda. EoFFers would lose their voices or be censored. This is what awaits EoFF if Shinra takes power.Quote:
Law & Order
The Avalanche Party will strip Cid's Knights of their power to ban users and close threads.
EDIT: Update! Shinra just proves how they abuse their power by banning Momiji and Tavrobel. EOFFERS HEAR OUR CALL AND PROTEST THIS ACT! FIGHT FOR THE FREEDOM OF TAV AND MOMIJI! We will not be silent. A storm will brew upon the release of our comrads. This act will not be ignored. First DD, now these two. Have you no shame?
That's why there is more then one Cid's Knight in EoFF. And Administrators regulating them as well, as well as an ownership watching the Admins, power infrastructures are far better then both dictatorships, and chaos.Quote:

For being such a staunch Shinrist, gobo, you speak pretty haughtily to your CKs.
Yet EB himself stated that not only may I end up on the Ballot, but he almost left my thread open, and closed it simply because of my accusations against the corrupt system.Quote:

So, I AM in fact running, without paying a cent.
I mean hell, the parties you are in were created before you ever joined to begin with. All the setting up was done before you ever got there. Any money you payed was just a scam by the Machine.
And what Rallies? Pictures or it didn't happen.
And the official paperwork, or were thesde rallies done illegally off the books? HMMM?
But I love them. So it evens out.Quote:

From Momi with love.
Love you too!
Wait, so you don't even think of these elections as serious? My friends, you have heard it here. Shinra Doesn't care if they win.Quote:

Why would the figureheads not care? There can only be one reason. They themselves know NOTHING will change, regardless of which of the two parties win.
However this also reveals another startling truth, Gobo is not in fact just another Cog in the Machine, he knows to much for that. He is in fact one of the Machines operators, working diligently to keep his precious contraption together.
A Vote for either Avalanche or Shinra is a Vote to further Bokos plan.
Looks likeMeal Tickettuh got butthurt and banned us. Well, we're back now.
This only proves how corrupt Shinra is-- abusing power for petty reasons. Also, this also proves how Avalanche is good at defending their incapacitated-- both by FM sticking our thread and closingIngsocShinra's thread and TSoL relaying messages. It proves that we are still able to deliver. We are like a hydra-- cut one head off, and there will be another one to deal with. We're back, and now all we want is to liberate one coin from you-- of course, it isn't enough to buy a life, but it means you don't continue! I brandish my Lavatein and attack with Starbow Break speed!
...and then there will be none.
DO THE IMPOSSIBLE
SEE THE INVISIBLE
ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH

Ahh, at last, after ten thousand years, I'm free. Freed from the burden of the world of C. But I have learned the truth. It is the will of the world, and not even the power of kings can compete with the people. Overturned earthen creatures. Be prepared to feel the wrath of the universe.
Shinra is corrupt. If you support them, you support corruption. Down with Shinra!
:lol: You're rich.Quote:

Think, you fool. You were banned by someone from Shinra! By going over there, you're supporting your ban.
I am seeking refuge in Shinra now, I am not a push-over!
No, but you're an imbecile. Enjoy seeking refuge with those who banned you. You'll soon find they are much more corrupt than we are. Being banned should have showed you that.
Oh, and we're so much more fun.
Is this how Avalanche treats its weary members? No wonder DD is turning. :greenie:
No, this is how we treat traitors.Quote:

It's a forums, DD. You get to choose when you respond and when not to. It isn't a reflex to go and say "oops."
Anyways, so what does everyone want for dinner tonight? We can also decide one what to eat on Tuesday. I'm thinking Subway, as suggested by MILF and Momiji. Ohh, and remember, we're at Ruth's Chris Steak House tonight. Menu can be found in a previous post of mine.
Quoted to reiterate the menus for today and tomorrow.Quote:

I'll be sending our PMs now.
What do you gain from this corrupt act exactly?
Free dinner. We've got a right to eat, don't we?
I'm going to have to point out that I suggested a place to eat. I did not and do not advocate any sort of theft. I do not believe this entire debacle is in the best interests of anyone, and I am rejecting any role in it.
But this wouldn't be happening with me as the candidate, I can assure you. No, we'd have both integrity and discipline.
Don't think of it as theft, Huxley! Think of it as liberation! :3
Shinra's gains are ill-gotten and underserved. But that doesn't give us the right to simply appropriate it - we become no better than they are. We can't simply take what we please because we think we're justified. We must do it the legal way, once we gain power.
Umm..you do know this is all for fun, right? I haven't made one serious post since this whole damn thing started. If all we're going to do is be stiff and formal, well, I may as well watch regular politics on TV, because it would be just as boring. -_-
Y so srs?
Perhaps you have a point, that imitating the actions of the invader is the same as approving of their actions and methods.
However, what we have here is a fundamental flaw in the system that only hides things away from us. It isn't theft as much as it liberation of funds. When the money belongs to us in the first place, it is merely balancing the scales to take it back. But, I suppose, if you do not wish to post in Shinra, I guess that will be fine. I'll just crawl back into the KH forums and die of boredom.
Perhaps your handling of funds will be different when you are in charge. But if I were running, and I will make transparently clear that I have no intention of doing so, that the money that is under my charge will be gotten to the people as quickly as possible. In order for an economy to maintain stability, money must move from point to point, changing hands quickly and aptly, in order to provide everything. Money made in this fashion is money made from the efforts of the people.
If you think about it, the money we got from Shinra is money that will go back to them in the form of taxation on the companies that are receiving our funds. So really, we would be giving them back their money, it just takes on a different form, changed hands, as it were. It is constantly in motion. I have not denied our Shinra enemies the opportunity to dine with us; the doors are open.
I cba with this. I'm done. :oscar:
No money has ever been stolen from the members here. All funds have been donated.Quote:

You say they steal your money? True, but the truth is also that every dime you possess was stolen from the people and used for selfish gain.
I, however, have not stolen nor used any money generated by the Machine.
Your two parties are currupt and tainted.

I would like to take the elections in a different direction for the time being. Yes, I am cross-posting this.
As of this moment, Avalanche members are forbidden to post in the Shinra Party thread. (no, this won't be permanent)
Instead, I would like you to turn your intentions inward - who will become the leader of Avalanche? Who would you like to see take the helm?
Candidates, here's a question just for fun. As Avalanche is from the northern forums, which include the Lounge, if you could describe your campaign to be leader with a song, what song would it be? (a link to it on youtube is optional but awesome!)
Just applied - hoping for victory. If I don't personally get it, we can hopefully crush the other guys together.
EWJ '08
This has suddenly stopped being fun. I'm out.
Marick D. Pauper here at the headquarters of the Avalanche Party. I've been running into individuals like Flying Mullet, Avanlache enthusiasts, as well as been hearing spats back and forth between Shinraists coming in to protest against the Avalanche movement. From what I have seen, it seems that the Avalanche movement has nothing at all to do with the movement of boulders. However, it does have everything to do with the undermining of the current administration in power. Here, we have learned that they want to limit the power of the Cid's Knights to minimal authorities. However, certain power removals seem to be stretching it a bit too far. Let's analyze.
Privacy
Viewing I.P. Addresses: Well, it's common knowledge that I.P. addresses are a very unique identifying moniker. Knowing this eliminates the chance of having second accounts being made by banned members, having multiple spam bots get registered from the same address. However, according to the Avalanche stance, it also wishes to strip the power to ban users and close threads, ultimately making this power useless in the end. So let's file this under the category of needless debate, since an I.P. address is useless if you can't ban. Sounds like filler debate matter to twist and spin the voter's opinion!
Viewing Birthdates: How is this even an issue? Without them being able to see birthdays, then we would have never had RSL day! Next.
E-mail Addresses: Will Cid's Knights be sending mass messages to privatized e-mail messages. So far, we have yet seen it, but who knows with people like Roogle and Psychotic as Cid's Knights. We can't rule out the possibility of this happening.
Power Authorizations
Banning Users: Cid's Knights ability to ban users would become obsolete under the Avalanche party's rule. While some members, not one I can think of off the top of my head, might not have been banned on just grounds, spambots would begin to run wild and flamers (not the gays) would be running rampant among the forums posting pornography in acts of expression. It is in the view of this reporter that, if anyone posts furry pornography, they should be banned and mocked for one full year, despite claims of self-expression. Regardless, the policy on this power from the eyes of this reporter commenting on Avalanche's policy views the view in the light of being up in the air. It goes along with the immigration policy. No one wants Gaia Online individuals around here. We all snub their kind, but then again, what sort of sight would we be if we don't encourage growth. But do we want to be rated PG for Pureghetto entertainment, or PSY, for Psychotic entertainment? The choice is yours.
Economy: Taxation and misrepresentation! TAXATION AND REPRESENTATION! All members paying for accounts to register and post, with oldbies being forced into a higher tax bracket, well, it just sounds like Avalanche might be trying to redistribute the power to all the useless members of the forum. Members like loony bob penetrated me, or i got the jibbles... They would be paying less fees than members like local chocobo Loony BoB, or DK. Even myself, if all my stupid accounts were added up, would be paying more than most individuals here, and while I can't say I support this, I also can't say I don't see a reason to get only the rich to post. After-all, why shouldn't only those who can afford to have the internet AND pay additional fees be able to access a Final Fantasy Message Board.
The War: Probably the most serious issue of all. GHF, a place God frequents often to tell what he hates now. Being a member of this community, I do see that this is indeed a great thing for us. Reparations are in order, but in fairness, Citizen Bleys and his crotch are terrible terrible individuals who tried to ruin the establishment of Eyes On Final Fantasy. While God Hates Fraggles offers a safe-haven for him, paying reparations to them can only resurge the power Dr. Unne and he has held, unless he is taken out and certain restrictions are placed upon their community. However, let's not forget the cost burden this war has put on us all here at Eyeson. However, is this enough reason to loosen our security? Not to mention that people like Raistlin frequent that place. Really, who wants to support anything affiliated with Raistlin...
With these facts stated, it is up to you, the voter to decide. With that, stay tuned to the Shinra Headquarters when, tomorrow, I Marick D. Pauper will be highlighting their platform and bringing the facts to YOU the voter.
I'm Marick D. Pauper. You stay classy Eyes on FF.
Edit: Bolded important information.
Marick, we love you, by the way.Quote:

The Avalanche Party Primary Candidates!
A REMINDER OF THE QUESTIONS!
1. Any crimes or misdemeanours?
2. Favourite flavour of ice cream?
3. Write a Haiku about why your party is the best.
4. Please tell us why you'd make a great candidate.
5. Create a political comic. You may find this generator useful, although you do not have to use it.
Candidate A
1. uhhhh....no? >_>
2. chocolate chip cookie dough
3.
white snow
innocent sound causes chaos
loud noises!!!!
4. because.... everybody already knows im practically a spambot myself :p
5. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/r...CandidateA.png
Candidate B
1. Only but one, for which I have redeemed myself, but I suppose I must tell. You see, my friends, one day I decided to don a blue sweater, much as one would see on Mr. Rogers, and walk along surburban streets until I found a man taking out his garbage. I gazed upon him and bellowed "Garbage Day!", my eyebrows twitching like gentle catepillars, and shot him as he flew back, slow motion, screaming "NO, Ugh,a hghhhh!" as his trash flew along the sidewalk. I laughed, blew the smoke from my gun, and laughed some more. A menancing laugh, as menancing as the prospect of A Very Loved Man actually spawning.
That is all!

2. It may be an annoying email, though not as deliciously irritating as the Nigerian scam emails.
It might also be a band.

avalanche your pants
they are exploding with joy

4. Well, my friends, I feel that I'd make a great candidate for the Avalanche Party because I live up to the ideals of the party. I very much consider myself a thinker.
http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/LOONYBOB.jpg
I have a large amount of posts in the art forum and in Eyes on Each Other. I've been a long time member, but I can bring fresh ideas to Eyes on Final Fantasy. I am down to earth will members old and new.
I support more freedom for EoFF members. If you feel the need to make an airplane carrier comprised of photos of shirtless members and Agent Proto, then you go ahead! Want to make a thread disparaging about how your girlfriend interferes with your meal
of a popular red sugary drink and poultry? How dare anyone close it! I will fight for your right.

So, Yuna, let me be your strength.

5. My political cartoon:
http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/r...CandidateB.jpg
Candidate C
1. Yes. I have been banned from EoEo, twice. Had about thirty closed threads and I have my own mugshot on my profile. But I do believe beyond this, I am a worthy candidate.
2. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/r...latosorbet.jpg
3.
Full of vexation
We are fantastic doers
of supreme win-ness
4. I represent the 13 year-old lone lover of Go Go Panda Detective, the emo chick who everyone thinks is overreacting, and (SPOILER)Baloki's sexual fantasies. People need to see the beauty in these things.
5. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/r...CandidateC.png
Candidate D
1. I believe that the criminal justice system isn't working. I believe that, in order to change it, we need the input of everyday people like you. I am willing to work with everyone who has an opinion on how to change the current system to form a more perfect way of penalizing those who commit heinous crimes against another person. Thank you and God Speed.
2. I'm glad you asked that question. Ice cream comes in all different sorts of flavors. You can have chocolate or you can have vanilla, hell, you can even have both. Under my regime, I promise that ice cream will not only be delicious but it will be enjoyable by all, the rich or the poor.
3.
My party is the
Best party because it is
The only party, yeah!
4. Now this is a good question, Mr. Booth. Again, I'm glad you asked it. What makes a good candidate? The ability to stand up for ones own beliefs while simultaneously fighting to protect the little guy from big corporations? Or is it the ability to stand for what is right, despite whether or not that contradicts with ones own personal beliefs? I think it is all that in more and that is why I am running. The other guys don't have the experience that I have in dealing with the little guy. They haven't been through the things that I have been through or seen the things that I have seen. And that is why I think I would make a great candidate.
5. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/r...CandidateD.png
Note from your Election Booth pal: I blocked out this bit because the user's comic had their name in it and I didn't see until the last minute, and I didn't want to make them re-do it at the last second or disqualify them as that would make me a dick. Instead, I have blotted out their name. Hurray for compromise!
Candidate E
1. Just one. I once went streaking in the Gold Saucer.
2. I'd have to say Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia.
3.
Avalanche is cool.
It kicks Shinra's butt real hard.
Refrigerator.
4. I feel that I would make a good candidate because I'm way cooler than those Shinra losers. Also because I enjoy long walks on the beach and saving the planet. Those Shinra elitists need to get their corporate heads out of my Eyes on Final Fantasy Forums.
5. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/r...CandidateK.png
Candidate F
1. Not that I know of. If any come out later on, I'm terribly sorry.
2. Mint Chocolate Chip - with some marshmallows on it
3.
My party kicks ass
We are from the North forums
We also love cake
4. I am a crime-fighting super-hero who can enforce justice like no other. I am an equal opportunist, and will love you as long as you provide the love back. Plus, I'm just so darn likable. If you want to win this thing, I can do it. Come on, you know that's true.
5. You asked for it
http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/r...CandidateF.jpg
Candidate G
1. No, except not using U's in "misdemeanor" or "flavor".;)
2. That kind that has Oreos crushed in it!
3.
We are not perfect,
no, but simply not the worst
of the two choices. ;)
4. I'd make a great candidate because it seems that my party is very apathetic and that I may be the only person seeking nomination. I hope this is the case, because I doubt I could win it any other way.

It does not smell like old cheese,

So there you go folks. Head to the Main Elections thread for voting instructions. Unless you have come from there, and in which case, hi!
YAY!
Hell yeah, phish food <3
Wow, there are a lot of quality candidates here. Thanks for the laughs. :)
dang, i wanna change my vote to j (only read the cartoons)
Rye has now claimed victory in the Avalanche Primary. Who will be her Vice-President?
And who among you would be willing to perform a task for the election?
Will new Rye-WHOEVER '08 banners be made?
With posting allowed in each others' threads again, will we see the drama ignite once more?
Why have I posted this in both parties' threads?
Hmm, no, probably not actually.
I'd be honored and happy to help lead this awesome party to victory over those Shinra dogs. :bigsmile:Quote:

I'm up for doing The Quickening or General, with or without help.
i call dibs to drawing rinoa dying a horrible death. ive had a vision in mind for years. can i draw aeris with her too? (sry ak :love:)
Come on guys, we don't have all that long! We need this organized somehow!
... Or do we? :shifty:
Okay, I am currently preparing my presidential task.
I will do Staff. I'll jump on Nerds in Paradise, if Laddy doesn't want to anymore, but I'll assume he still does.
Rantzien, NeoTifa, Laddy, you should all do the ones you chose. Let's have a tally of who is doing what.
General: Rantzien
Staff: Rye
Quickening: Rantz and NeoTifa (?)
Reference: NO ONE YET
Nerds in Paradise: Laddy
Smell of Fear: Laddy
The World is Square: NO ONE YET
Come on, guys! Hurry!
Yeah, but:
I'll get going with General, since NeoTifa is already doing [parts of] Quickening. Laddy should also pick one of his choices! And you other guys. :)Quote:

I'd really like to write a story about our candidate fighting the forces of evil, if I could. Is General already taken, or is it possible to have more than one person on a forum/board/topic?
You can do the story if you want to, and I'll do the song.
>_> ok when is this due?
I've decided I'll take The World is Square.
It's due on Friday unless it's prolonged.
I've written my answer for the "The World is Square" question.
How's everyone else coming along? Laddy still needs to decide which of the two categories he wants to do, which will leave two categories for others to pick up. Come on peoples, we can do it!
General: Rantzien
Staff: Rye
Quickening: NeoTifa
Reference: NO ONE YET
Nerds in Paradise: Laddy
Smell of Fear: Laddy
The World is Square: Mulley - Done
Remember that SilverWind is doing task B for General. I'm not sure whether NeoTifa is doing all of the tasks for The Quickening or not.
I'm pretty much done with the song lyrics. I want to sing it in, too, because that would make it 206% funnier. I'm just unsure if I can get a hold of a decent microphone.
Of course, I hadn't forgotten...:shifty:
I think I have this squared away now. Red has no one on it, yellow is in progress, orange has issues(i.e. one person on two categories) and green is done.
Come on Avalanche peoples, we need your help!
General

Awesome, I'll get started soon. So do I write about any of our candidates? Rye is our main candidate, right?

Yeah, I think it's supposed to be mainly about Rye (and FM). You're welcome to add other familiar elements as well, though! :p
Right-o! I'll start it sooon. I've got a break this week!
I am done with my portion. How is everyone else doing?
Finished The Smell of Fear.
I've ordered a headset (no, not solely for this purpose :p) which I hope will arrive today or tomorrow. If it does, then I can sing in the song.
Also, judging by the ShinRa thread there might be an extension.

The new world would be EoFF. Sora would be a Newbie trying to fight the corruption and tyranny that currently exists in the moderator ranks. Sora would be joined by Flying Mullet and Samuraid, two of the only moderators that are still pure and walk the path of justice and righteousness.
The world would be composed of a network of villages, each named after a forum, and Sora would travel from village to village either disposing of or healing those CK's that have lost their way and have turned down the evil path of malfeasance. Upon the cleansing the land of EoFF and its villages(forums), Sora would have to travel to the often spoken of but rarely traveled to land of "Front Site" to do battle with the final boss and his henchman, theundeadhero and Pureghetto. Once Sora finishes them off, the world is freed of tyranny and all rejoice and take heart in the fact that their world is free and unblemished again!
Well, I guess I'll put mine up too.

"Thanks for the ride!" Rye yelled to the ship's captain.
"No problem," the captain said as he sailed off to the next port.
She turned and waved goodbye as she stepped off of the ship. Rye was a young dreamer from an isolated island. She hailed from
Blue Palm Island, where many of the plants were an azure blue. That's what gave the island its name. It held many tropical oddities, including
blue coconut palms, cerulean aloe, and some rare blue sand. There was only one beach on Blue Palm Island that actually had the
blue sand, making it a rarity even to the island.
She never knew much about the mainland with which her island was related. The most news that Rye recieved from the mainland
was the occaisional newspaper and word from the ships that sometimes went to the island for produce native to that island.
She had no idea where to go, so she just followed a beaten dirt path, hoping it lead to some civilization. She entered a
a thin woods, and could see some buildings through the sparsely placed trees. She headed in that direction. In the back of her
mind, many questions appeared. 'What should I do first?', 'Where should I go?', 'What should I do about money...?' She pondered
these questions, but just as she was forming some answers, she encountered a weird man near the town gate. He was quite nicely dressed, and
engaged Rye in conversation, before she had the chance to decide whether or not she would talk to him.
"YOU!! Yes, you, young lady! How would you like to be the proud owner of a new, secret technological breakthrough?" The man questioned.
"Uhm...well..." Rye stuttered. The man was a fast talker, and Rye could not get a word in edgewise.
"Yeess!! It's quite a fine product, and it can be yours for a low, low price! Would you care to take the item?"
"Uh...maybe?" Rye said. "What is it?"
"I'm soooo glad you asked!" He replied. "It's a miracle, really. It can help lighten the burden of everyday tasks!
Rather than describe to you the item, I shall show you!!"
He reached into his satchel, and pulled out a wooden object. It was a rolling pin, finely crafted out of wood, but to Rye, it looked very
familiar. It was blue, and she immediately thought to her own rolling pin in her backpack. They looked just about the same, except the one the salesman had
looked like new. Rye had hers for a few years.
"Sooo! What do you think?" The salesman asked. "It's a wonderful rolling pin! Can roll out a uniformly thin piece of dough in no time at all!"
"It's very nice...," Rye said, and she pulled hers out of her pack with a smile. "But I already have my own!"
'What??' The salesman thought. 'Impossible...! These things are crafted with wood from a special tree... How could she already have one?!?'
The salesman thought hard on what he should do.
"That can't be," he tryed to reason. "This is a rare wood from a tropical tree found nowhere near the Round Continent. Yours must be a fake!"
"Hey! This is no fake!" Rye yelled. "How dare you insult my rolling pin! I got this from my mother!"
"Then she obviously tricked you," the salesman said with a sigh. "Ok, here's what we can do. I'll give you this new, REAL rolling pin for half price if you give me yours."
"No way," Rye said. Now she started to get angry. "My mother didn't lie to me. This is no fake. I'm from the Blue Palm Island. Shall I show you?"
"What?" The salesman said confusedly.
She braced all of her strength and held the rolling pin aloft. She slammed the rolling pin right into the salesman's face, knocking him out cold.
"That's what you get when you insult my mother, or my treasure." Rye said as she turned and entered the town. "You're not worth my time.
She entered the town and tryed to take it all in, but there was so much going on. There were many shops, for food, weapons, and many specialty shops.
She looked around and tryed to decide what to do first.
"First of all, I need a map..."Rye thought. "I have no idea how to navigate my way around here. It was lucky that I got here in the first place!"
She looked around until she found a navigation store. There were many maps and cartographical equipment. She went up to the counter and asked for a map of the
surrounding area.
"Oh, sure we have some of those." The shopkeeper smiled. "Hold on right here, I'll go look for one in the back."
The shopkeeper turned and walked through a door to the back. Rye leaned against the counter, and examined a map under the glass.
"Hmmm... an unmarked mountain..." Rye said as she looked at the map. "Why would they draw a mountain on the map and neglect to name it? ...I wonder if it's
nice there. I've never been to a mountain before."
"Here's your map!" the shopkeeper said as she returned. "I see you're looking at the map of the western region of the Round Continent! That's where we are right now."
"Oh? Where is the town on this map, then?" Rye asked.
"Are you new here?" the shopkeeper asked. "It's right here, near the coast. It's called Delica. It's a big tourist trap. Every one comes here to try the food,
and shop."
"I see." Rye replied. 'This could be a fun town...!' She thought."What about this unmarked mountain?"
"Oh..." the shopkeeper's glance fell. "Well... nobody has really explored it. Anyone who tried hasn't come back."
"Wow." Rye commented. "That's odd. Why haven't they come back?"
"I don't really know." the shopkeeper said. "No one does."
"Hmmm..." Rye thought. "Maybe I won't go there then." She took her map and walked outside.
"You'd do well to stay away from there!" the shopkeeper yelled to her.
Once outside, she noticed her legs growing weak. "I could sure use some food. I wonder what this 'Delican' food tastes like..."
She looked around and found a small restaurant. It wasn't very crowded, and their food looked good, so Rye decided to settle for this place. She wandered to a table in the corner
and sat down. The waiter walked over and asked her what she would like.
"well...I'm new here..." Rye said. "What do you reccommend?"
The waiter smiled and said, "You should try the soup. It's one of our most popular dishes!"
She agreed to the soup and sat there silently. She liked this town. The people were nice, even if she had to smash some guy's face in at the town gate. She took out a book and
started to read it. The waiter then returned with the soup, and he noticed her book. "Oh, you like to bake?"
"Yeah!" Rye said. "It's my favorite thing to do! I want to become a master pastry chef. That's why I came here."
"That's nice." said the waiter. "The bakery down the street just lost a worker. You should go there to see if you can get some experience."
"Thanks for the tip." Rye said.
She ate the soup, which was delicious, and made her way to a store with a sign shaped like a cake. She walked in and looked at the confectionaries in the display case. It was like a
dream come true. The baked goods looked very professional and quite delicious. This was Rye's dream, to become a master pastry chef. The manager walked up to the case and regarded Rye with what
appeared to be a glare. Rye looked at the manager and was startled by his appearance. He was tall, muscular, and looked like he could pick up the store with no effort.
"Yes...?" the man grunted.
"Uh...I'm...R-Rye."she stuttered. This guy looked mean, and she didn't want to make a bad first impression. "Um... I heard there was an opening for a new
baker in this fine establishment?"
The man stared at her, and asked: "What makes you think you're qualified to work here?"
She was intimidated by the man's demeanor, which affected her speech. "I wanted...to w-work here, to become a better chef! I want to become a master pastry chef!"
He stared at her further. Then he smiled, and said, "You remind me of myself! I would be glad to have you work here! My name is Rantzien, by the way. Let's see what you can do." He then lead
to the kitchen. She was relieved that he accepted her.
"So, how much experience do you have?" Rantzien asked her.
"Well, I learned the basics from my mom," Rye replied. "But I eventually surpassed her skills, and started making some of my own recipies."
"Ah, very nice."Ranzien nodded. "Have you completed a recipie?"
Rye nodded.
"Then, please, make it for me." He said. "The ingredients are in the store room, right through that door."
"All right, I'm on it." She replied. She walked into the store room. "Let's see...flour, eggs, sugar, salt...what else do I need...? Oh, yes. Vanilla...! And...
Blue Palm Coconuts...I don't see any of those!" She shuffled around some boxes in a frenzy to find some Blue Palm coconuts, and she finally found one in a small box in the corner.
"Oh no..." She said disparingly. "I need two..." She looked around a bit more, then she remembered that she took one from home to eat later. "What a relief!" She took the ingredients, and
went back into the kitchen. She started baking and a couple hours later, she made what she called a Blue Palm Torte.
"Very nice work," Rantzien said as he regarded the confection. "I can see you have a bright future here."
Rye smiled, and did a small victory dance. She sat down at the table to have a little bit of the desert.
"Yes. This is what we need!" Rantzien exclaimed. "This will bring some new culture to the shop. I was never good with Blue Palm cuisine..."
"I was surprised that you even had any Blue Palm coconuts back there!"Rye said.
"Wonderful job." Rantzien said again. "It is getting dark. You don't have anywhere to stay, do you?"
Rye choked on the water she was drinking. She had completely forgotten about a place to stay. She was too caught up in her success in her baking exploits.
"Eheh..." Rantzien laughed. "You can just stay in the room above the store. You have to use the stairs outside to get up there."
"Wow!" Rye exclaimed. "Thanks a lot! You're such a good person!"
"Aw, stop...!" Rantzien said.
For the next few weeks Rye learned a lot from Rantzien, and likewise, he learned some of the Blue Palm cuisine from her. Rye was given the responsibility of assisstant chef, and gathering ingredients
from the town, and surrounding areas. She adventured to forests to get berries, went to an old mill near a river for some flour, and to an orchard to get fresh fruit.
One adventure would come that she would not soon forget.
"RYE!!" Rantzien yelled. "C'mere!" He grabbed the broom and thumped on the ceiling, which was Rye's floor, to get her up.
Rye stumbled out of her bed and quickly got dressed. She went down into the shop to see what he wanted.
"Good morning," Rye said to Rantzien. "Is there something you wanted?"
"Yes," Rantzien nodded. "Today, you're going on another adventure. I want you to go out to the Rethiel berry patch and get some strawberries, blueberries, and whatever else you think we may need. We
need those two kinds of berries in particular, though. Can you do it?"
"Oh yeah!" Rye exclaimed. "I'm good to go!"
"Good," Rantzien said. "I knew I could count on you. There is some coffee on the counter for you."
"Yay!" Rye said. "Thanks, Rantzien."
"No problem." Rantzien said, as he went back into the kitchen to make some fresh bread.
Rye drank her coffee, albeit a bit too fast. She burned her toungue, but she didn't really care. She was really excited to go on a new adventure. She gathered
her rolling pin (for defense), her provisions (some tasty cakes, and a few sandwiches), and a map (she wasn't really that good with directions). She walked out the door and breathed in the fresh air of the new
day. She walked toward the end of town, greeting all of the new people she had met in her few weeks at the Round Continent. Once outside of the city, she looked at her map, and realized that the Rethiel berry
patch was near that unmarked mountain that she looked at on the map all those days ago. She couldn't get that mountain out of her mind, but everytime she thought of going there herself, she shook her head, and
called the idea just plain crazy.
She walked a few miles and once she was nearing the patch, she decided to take a break. She sat on a rock and ate one of her sandwiches, and stared at the sky, thinking about the mountain again. 'What
was its appeal? Why am I thinking about this so much?' She wondered. She started to zone out, and just watched a crow flap through the sky. It joined another crow, then another... There was something weird to
her about the amassing crows... They had a group of about five now, and they then dove to the ground near a bush down the path from Rye. She had nothing better to do, so she got up to check it out. Once Rye reached the
bushes, she let out a gasp. Concealed by the bush was a bloodied man, laying on the ground, being bothered by the crows.
"Get away!" Rye yelled. "Go away! Leave this guy alone!" She waved her arms at the crows, and they scattered. They all flew away, but one gave Rye a painful peck on the arm. "Agh! Stupid crows...! Are you alright?"
She examined the man, looking for signs of life. He had on a torn overcoat, and an odd hairstyle. The poor guy looked ravaged. It was as though he had not had food for a week, and his left arm was bleeding.
"Ugh..." the man rolled over to face the sky. He slowly opened his eyes. "Who're you...?"
"My name is Rye." she replied. "Can you tell me your name?"
"I'm...Flying Mullet," he croaked. "Where am I?
"Flying...Mullet?" she was distracted by such an odd name. "Uhm...we're near the Rethiel berry patch."
"That doesn't tell me anything!" he cried. "Where's Delica??"
"Oh!" Rye said. "Um, it's a few miles back the way I came. Do you want me to take you back there?"
"Yeah..." Flying Mullet said. "Please... I'll explain, later..." He then lost conciousness.
Rye was starting to panic, but she couldn't let this man down. She grabbed him, and ran to town.
"RANTZIEN!!" Rye carried Flying Mullet over the threshold of the shop.
"Oh, Rye!" Rantzien greeted her. "Did you get the berries? I need to use some of the strawberries!"
"No time for that!" Rye gasped. "This guy needs medical attention!"
"Woah!" Rantzien noticed Flying Mullet. "Take him up to your room, and I'll call for a doctor!
She took him upstairs to her room and put him on the bed. "Please don't die... I won't let you!" She tryed to make him as comfortable as she could. She sat and waited for the doctor, who arrived soon after
she took Flying Mullet upstairs.
"Here's Doctor SilverWind," Rantzien said rushedly. "This guy is one of the best. I have to go back downstairs, there's a customer here."
"Well..." The doctor said. "He seems to have bleed quite a lot, and hasn't eaten for a few days... You did well to try and stop the bleeding, young lady."
Rye nodded.
"Yes," the Dr. SilverWind nodded. "I do believe he will be fine, but he must rest for a few days."
"Thank you doctor!"Rye hugged him.
"Oh, it was nothing," Dr. SilverWind laughed. "So how about the bill?"
Rye just stared at him. 'The bill...? That's all he's thinking about??' She thought inwardly. "Uhm... ask the big guy downstairs! You know, the guy that called you."
"Ah, yes," the doctor said. "The large fellow. Good. All is in order then. I shall take my leave." He put his top hat back on, and left Rye's room.
Rye sighed, and said, "Good... I'm glad you're gonna be fine, Mulley."
"Flying Mullet just lied on the bed and slept.
When Flying Mullet came to, he noticed that he was in a very comfortable bed. He tryed sitting up, but immediately got dizzy. He just layed on the bed and looked around. He tryed to remember what happened, but it took
him awhile to recall what exactly had happened. He remembered what had happened, and that he ended up on a dirt road, and that someone had saved him. Just then Rye entered the room.
"Ah, I see you are awake," Rye said. "How are you feeling?"
"Ugh..." Flying Mullet grunted. "It's hard to sit up."
"Oh," Rye said. "I would imagine. You were in a bad state. You just lay down and take it easy."
"You saved me then?" Flying Mullet asked. "It was Rye, wasn't it?"
"Yes," Rye nodded.
"Ah,"Flying Mullet sighed.
They sat in silence for awhile, until Rye asked, "So, where are you from?"
"I'm from up north," Flying Mullet replied. "From a snowy town."
"North?" Rye asked. "Snow? What's snow like?"
"You don't know what snow is like?" Flying Mulled asked, shocked. "Snow is the greatest. Even if it is really cold, you can throw snowballs at people."
Rye laughed, "That sounds like fun! Though...how did you get all the way over here, then?"
"I traveled..." Flying Mullet said. "I heard legends of a mountain without a name..."
"OH!", Rye exclaimed. "I know about that mountain! I've been thinking a lot about it recently."
"Then, are you going?" Flying Mullet asked.
"Whoa, whoa, hold on there," Rye said. "I don't know about it. It seems really dangerous."
"Well of course it is," Flying Mullet said. "That's the point of adventure. It would be boring otherwise, wouldn't it?
Rye pondered these words for awhile. "So are you going there once you get better?"
"Yeah. I have to try again." Flying Mullet said with firm resolution.
"Again?" Rye asked. "What happened the first time?"
"well, the mountain is assumed to be unnamed, because there is no trace of a name on any map," Flying Mullet explained. "But when I got there, there were horrible
people guarding the entrance to the mountain. They beat me up because they said that I was 'trespassing'."
"How horrible!" Rye gasped.
"They have the mountain secured," Flying Mullet continued. "I went there to get the rumored treasure on the top. If I want any chance to get it, I need to fight those people who call themselves 'Shinra'!"
"Count me in!" Rye exclaimed. "I'm going to help you find the treasure!"
"Really?" Flying Mullet asked. "Are you serious? Everyone else I've talked to just laughed at me."
"I'm completely serious!" Rye replied. "I'll help!"
Flying Mullet nodded. "All right then. I'll leave in a few days. For now, I'm going back to sleep."
For the next few days, Flying Mullet convalesced, while Rye went back out to the Rethiel berry patch to get the berries she didn't have time to get earlier.
"I have the berries, now." She said as she walked back into the shop.
"Good," Rantzien said. "I can finally finish these orders. Thanks Rye."
"No problem..." Rye said. "So, do you think I could... take a few days off?"
"Really?" Rantzien asked. "We're kind of busy... What for?"
"I need to help Flying Mullet." Rye replied.
"Oh. The kid, eh?" Rantzien said. "I guess. But you are going to have to work really hard when you get back here."
"Alright." Rye said. "Will do."
Rye walked upstairs to her room, to check on Flying Mullet.
"Are you ready, Rye?" he asked.
"Uh, yeah." Rye said. Just let me get my supplies in order."
She once again gathered her stuff. They then set off toward the mountain.
Once they were there, they hid behind a rock, and surveyed the area. "These guys aren't really that hard." Flying Mullet said. "The only reason they got the best of me last time, was because
they surrounded me with larger numbers than I could take. We could just isolate a few at a time, and we'll have this area cleaned out in no time." He brandished a nice sword, although it looked like it had
seen better days. "Let's go!"
They snuck around to the back of some Shinra members, and won handily. "Wow, that was easy!" Rye said.
"Yeah, nothing to it!" Flying Mullet said.
They continued in that fashion, until most of the Shinra lookouts were vanquished. "Now all we have to do is scale the mountain, now..." Rye said.
"Shouldn't be that hard..." Flying Mullet said, sarcastically.
"I'm sure we can do it!" Rye said. "Come on, let's follow this path as far as we can."
They walked up the mountain path, and found a cave. The entrance to the cave was guarded by three Shinra guards. "Wait here. I can take them" Flying Mullet said.
He took his sword, and dashed toward the guards, who brandished their own swords, ready for the attack. What they didn't expect, was a burst of speed from Flying Mullet. He zigzagged through the
guards at a high speed, and downed them in one move.
"Nice one, Mulley!" Rye exclaimed whilst jumping in victory.
"Thanks, it's no big-" Flying Mullet stopped mid-sentence once he realized what she said. "Wait, what did you call me?"
"Mulley?" Rye said. "It's just a nickname."
"Eh..." Flying Mullet wasn't sure about it.
"Do you not like it?" Rye asked.
"No, it's fine." Flying Mullet said. "Whatever. We need to move on."
"All right!" Rye said.
They entered the cave. The further they got into the cave, the more suited for living it became. The floor had become tiled, and there were lights in the ceiling. They eventually
made it to a large room, suited for meetings. In there was a long table, and at the table sat three people.
"Give it up, Undead Hero!" Flying Mullet yelled.
"Hmm?" The figure at the head of the table wasn't facing the two adventurers. "You want me to give up this mountain? Why should I listen to you?"
"This mountain should be everyones!" Flying Mullet retorted. "Mountains aren't private property!"
"I'm tired of this dull banter." theundeadhero said. "Get him, GoldenBoko."
Goldenboko rose from the table, and walked toward the team. He stopped in front of them and got into a martial arts fighting stance. "I'll defeat you."
"No way!" Rye yelled. She readied her rolling pin.
"You are fighting with that wimpy thing?" Goldenboko snickered. "That is hardly a weapon!"
"Anything can be a weapon, if you use it right," Rye replied.
They engaged into combat. His strikes were few, but very accurate, and hard-hitting. She used the rolling pin to block his attacks, but it was taking a beating.
She got in a few good hits on him, and it would seem that they were well matched. They were breathing hard, and both near defeat.
"I will finish it with this last attack." He focused his energy in to a hyper kick, which she tryed to block with her rolling pin, but the rolling pin broke in half.
"Nooo!!"Rye crumpled to the ground in defeat. "My rolling pin..."
"Rye!" Flying Mullet yelled. "Are you OK?!"
"My rolling pin..." Rye stared at the two pieces with tears in her eyes.
Goldenboko rose from the ground. "I told you it was useless." He got ready for another attack.
"RYEE!!!"Flying Mullet ran towards Rye, but he couldn't make it in time. Goldenboko struck. In mid attack, Goldenboko fell to the ground, unconcious.
"The fool must have overestimated his limits." theundeadhero said. "Alright, Pure Ghetto. It seems that the woman is indisposed. Kill the swordsman."
"Right." Pure Ghetto jumped up from the table, and landed in front of Flying Mullet, and Rye. "Unlike that dolt, I won't embarrass myself." He weilded his katana.
"You stay here, Rye." Flying Mullet said. "Everything's going to be fine. We'll just get rid of these two, and we'll get the treasure." He readied his sword, and they
clashed, sparks flying as the metals met in steely combat. Every blow was fierce and meant for a vital spot of the body.
'Agh...my arm is still a bit weak...'Flying Mullet thought.
They slashed, and slashed, not giving up for a minute.
"You really think I'm going down that easily?" Pure Ghetto asked. "I'm done playing around with you."
He unleashed a swift strike accross Flying Mullet's abdomen, and Flying Mullet fell to his knees. Rye watched with horror.
"Flying Mullet!" Rye yelled. "Don't give up!"
He got back up and sidestepped Pure Ghetto's incoming attack.
"Oh, so you can dodge...!" Pure Ghetto taunted.
"Yes, I can," Flying Mullet said. "Can you?" He rolled to the side of Pure Ghetto, and slashed his legs. This knocked Pure Ghetto to his knees, and before he could do anything,
Flying Mullet unleashed a flurry of slashes to him. Pure Ghetto was felled.
"That's how it's done." Flying Mullet said.
"So..." theundeadhero said, rising from his chair. "You defeated my friends... They were hard to defeat, but I think you will find that I will be near impossible, compared to them."
"We'll see!" Flying Mullet said. "Rye, give me your rolling pin!"
"But..." Rye hesitated.
"There's no time!" Flying Mullet yelled.
"Ok..." She tossed one of the pieces over to him.
"Thanks," he said. "This is all I need." He stuck the rolling pin piece onto the end of his sword.
The whole time, theundeadhero was walking toward him, and was now upon him. "Now we will see if you can defeat a hero!"
He struck Flying Mullet before he had time to stand up. He hit the wall, and struggled to his feet. He summoned all of his strength, and leaped into the air. Trusting deeply in his
swordsmanship, and his and Rye's friendship, he used his signature move. "Flying Mullet!" He used the added heft of the blue rolling pin piece to strengthen the blow, and smashed in theundeadhero's face.
Theundeadhero was defeated before he had a chance to do any real damage to Flying Mullet.
"That was sheer luck...!" theundeadhero cursed. "I will get you! You haven't seen the last of Shinra...!" He dispersed into a thin mist, and dissapeared.
Rye got up and went to help Flying Mullet up. "Come on, let's get to the top of the mountain."
They limped up to the top of the mountain, and at the summit found a large ornate chest.
"This is it," Rye said.
"That's what I've been waiting for..." Flying Mullet said. He walked over to it and tryed to open it. "It's kind of hard to open..." He tried to lift the lid, and with difficulty,
got it open. He stood a long while staring at the contents.
"Rye..." Flying Mullet said. "I think I want you to have this..." He reached in, and picked up the sturdy, shining object. He walked over to Rye and gave it to her.
She looked at it, and said: "Really? I can have it?"
"No doubt about it," Flying Mullet said.
"It's beautiful..."Rye said in awed excitement. It was a sturdy silver rolling pin. "Just like the legend says...this rolling pin was used by master pastry chefs long before our time...
Thank you, Flying Mullet."
"No problem," Flying Mullet said. "As for this mountain... I'm going to name it Mullet Mountain."
They trekked all the way back to town, to tell of their adventures, and the defeat of the Shinra. All and all, it was an adventure worthy of a master pastry chef.
GAH! It's so long...
Holy crap, that's a novel! xD
That's... magical. :cry::cry::cry:
Here is mine!

Eyes on Final Fantasy has too many staff members. Discuss.
This is indeed true. I feel that when EoFF flourished the most, to me, was when there was a semi-frequent change of staff members. For some time, staff members served for a year or two, and then left, feeling that they wanted to give up their role to someone else who wanted it more. They were then replaced by new qualified members who wanted to serve. This most successful because you not only get fresh insights from different members, but the majority of the staff is made up of members who are active and do their staff duties.
Now, of course, there are many old time members on staff that we begin to see as almost permanent, even though they really don't, if I dare say it, do much. They're not active. I know no one wants to say it, but to be entirely honest, if they do care about EoFF, they would want to see more dedicated members to push the forum forwards in their place.
I feel that, though it will cause a bit of strife, staff needs to be circulated, to allow for new views, fresh ideas, and far more vivid participation.
Imagine your rich uncle WarrenW has died and has left you Eyes on Final Fantasy in his will. You decide that you will change the staff. Pick 8 admins and 10 Cid's Knights. (you can pick existing CKs and admins if you like) You can explain your picks if you wish.
Cid's Knights:
Flying Mullet
Miriel
Psychotic
RubyLapiz
theundeadhero
I kept the above CK's because of their activity and their all around participation in most forums.
Heath
Cz
Levian
Rantzien
kikimm
Because they are open-minded and participate quite a lot/have been becoming a lot more active lately. They are full of great ideas and are easy to approach and enthusiastic.
Admins:
Cid
ShlupQuack
Loony BoB
Del Murder
crono_logical
o_O
Samuraid
Behold_The_Void
Get your filthy hands off of my town. Especially since you forgot about the sequel, the Wrath of Lezza and Baloki-kins.Quote:

Thank you, thank you. *bows* :D
That's a very nice and sensible entry, Rye. I support you all the way!
Awesome work, guys!
Here's the original song and the karaoke version I used.
Also, lyrics:
Quote:
It's early morning
Bunny logs out
Baloki's chatting
Is pretty loud
scrumple is posting
Vermachtnis too
There's nothing wrong
With another noob
SilverWind is hungry
Laddy as well
They're summoned both by
TSoL
Yaridovich VM's
with Samuraid
They've got to leave
There's a new newbie thread!
Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche
Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche
GHF is burning
Fate Fatale shouts
"Arc_Master's coming
To put the fire out!"
A welcoming team is
At Jim's command
"From now on", Rantzien says
"No more will be banned!"
NeoTifa is dancing
IronOcean has to go
Mullet is hungry
He runs the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
He has a date tonight
With Quina Quen!
Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche
Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche
In a trance, surfing on an Avalanche
Time for change, surfing on an Avalanche
It's early morning
Someone logs in
Tonight she's aiming
For epic win
You hear her purring
But she's no lolcat
She's wearing a tailcoat
And a high top hat
The staff is calling
She starts to walk
A newbie calls out
She lets him talk
He asks her, "Miss President,
How did you win?"
He gets the answer
As Rye she sings:
Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche (are you ready, BoB?!)
Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche
In a trance, surfing on an Avalanche (log on, log off, log on, log off, log on)
Time for change, surfing on an Avalanche
Avalanche!
sorry, i didnt hold up on my part. im really busy
That is okay!
Thank you everyone who has submitted, these have been all fantastic! We still have a few hours, so anyone who'd like to do a last minute submission is definitely encouraged to, especially as the two remaining, Reference and Quickening, are the more easier ones to complete.
I would do Quickening, but I already did a task, and I did my presidential task. ;; I really wanted to draw a sexy Quina...
XD i had the aeris pose already in my head, but quina im confused on
As future First Lady, I'm going to have to step back into the breach and provide emergency coverage for dear Rye. (And even with just five minutes of prep, I'm more prepared than our rivals!)
Thus, without further ado, here is my contribution for the Reference part.
Quote:
Reference
What was the best party in EoFF Elections history? (Shinra and Avalanche are not yet in that forum, so you can't pick them!) Feel free to tell us why!
The best party in EoFF history is boris no no's Fluffy Pink Party. You can tell this just from the name! Their platform consists of something very dear to my heart, I assume - the enforcement of Fluffy Puff as the only skin available for Eyes on Final Fantasy. I don't know what their platform really is because the text in the OP is pink too and I can't really be bothered highlighting it to read, but it's good to get people used to the vagaries of Fluffy Puff.
What change would you like to see implemented at Eyes on Final Fantasy, either on the front site or the forums? Explain the reasons for this.
Well on the frontsite side of things I think there should be a short daily poem. It would be from any poet at all! Just as long as it wasn't too long. I think this would really bring up both the happiness and intellectualism of EoFF. People would feel satisfaction from reading the words of the greats, as well as being encouraged to think about the poems and discuss them.
As for the forums, I would like to see, as you well know, Fluffy Puff as the only existing forum skin. I think this would make the forum a much happier, friendlier place, because people would have such a pleasant background to look at instead of that dull blue or that awful brown. How can such dark colors not sperad darkness into the minds of a forumgoer? :( Psychologically, brighter colors are a far better choice. If everyone used Fluffy Puff the forum would be a better place. Can you imagine the joy that would be spread, the love that would radiate throughout the forum, like it was being given unto us by an Iraqi with a used uranium rod?
Ehhhh, I'd do it but I can't draw in paint and my scanner is.. gone. I seriously don't know what happened to it. We still have time yes? Perhaps I'll... edit some pictures. :DQuote:

P.S. I don't have photoshop either, so paint had to do... They look quite nice if you ask me.
So that's what Quina's been hiding under all of those coats! :eek:
Quina's never looked so fine...! :p (assuming she's a lady, of course...)
Since we can now do multiple categories, I'll do Nerds in Paradise. No one has taken that yet, right?Quote:

Most sexually attractive character
The sexiest entity of Final Fantasy I-VI, and quite possibly one of the sexiest of all time—only slightly edged out by Quina Quen—is without a shred of doubt the slimy, slippery Octomammoth.
http://spoonybard.org/fanlisting/dawn/octomammoth.jpg
Just take a gander at that beauty. The seductive and carefully colour-coordinated pattern. The little kissable boob-like suckers on his underbelly that want to suck you in and taste every inch of you. The intense eyes that are so easy to get lost in as he wraps his eight loving arms around you, intending to hold you all night long. That should be enough for you to surrender yourself completely to his will—and trust me, you will be taken care of. Octomammoth means love times eight.
Dream party of five
Nerds in paradise, indeed. For what could be yearned for higher than the ability to cross-combine your own party from the vast array of characters that makes up Final Fantasy I-VI? Apart from a real life Rydia to, er, practise spells on, not much!
Gau
http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/2343/gauds1.jpg
Gau is sure to lighten up every minute of screen time he is given. He is also one of the most flexible characters throughout the series (ability list plz), making him a bit of a wildcard, but an extremely useful wildcard who fits into every party imaginable.
Rydia
http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/8228/rydiaqw6.jpg
HUMINA HUMINA HUMINA. :tpg:
Tellah
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/5595/tellahdi8.png
Father of one of the FF series' most infamous quotes, Tellah is a boost to any party. Apart from being a comical character with one of the greatest beards to ever have graced a video game with its presence, he is truly fearsome in his dedication to a cause and a very useful addition to the party with his strong spells in the early phases of the game.

Joseph

Joseph, the first character to (SPOILER)DIE in a Final Fantasy, is totally super awesome. Like totally. He fights with bare fists which makes him more of a badass than Clint Eastwood and the fact that he (SPOILER)DIES brings him up to Samuel L. Jackson level. Did I also mention that he (SPOILER)DIES? Pretty awesome.
And, last but certainly not least:
Fighter

Because he's just such a hunk! :lovers:
Can anyone point me in the direction of your Smell of Fear task?
Seems like Laddy has it! I've sent him a PM asking him to post it, but I don't know when he'll read it.Quote:

A class system like FFIX makes each character seem more unique, so I want a system in which classes actually exist. Whoether they're predetermined or not matters not to me.
Minigames need a point, please. Don't get me wrong, Blitzball and Tetra Master are great, but I like it to be of more significance to the story, though not a major liability to the main gameplay.
I also believe many would like more nonhuman characters. Discovering new cultures and races in FF and other science fiction/fantasy games are totally intriguing and give the game a more whismical feel.
These are my suggestions and I hope you find them to be enjoyable like I do.
Thanks.

i finally finished 1/3 of my task XD i was waiting to clock in at work, and drew the pin up of aeris. lol its just a rough sketch, but its decent for a prototype. ill post later when i get out of school
