Yeah, it's doing pretty good so far. I think it has more players than the Dead Rising one had and it has more posts. So far it seems like 90% of the people who have signed up are still active which is usually a good sign. I'm hoping this one goes the distance.

The Devil
Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession
The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.
Kind of in exam period so I won't be able to post often enough until a week from today. Can we just say, Grey missed top 10 and joins up with the crew later?
Sure, no problem. When you're done with your exams just tell me and i'll find a way to get you back in the group. Also, regarding the question Omnial asked in the RP, yes Omnial it's completely fine for your character to be able to see the dark aura. And yeah, the goons are supposed to be really crappy trainers

The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.
The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.
I knew some of you wouldn't be very motivated if i didn't. -chuckles-

So... I assume that while the Goons aren't a real threat, Mirror B is actually a competent trainer? I mean, there has to be some skilled trainers in Cipher, right Nicsp? *Wink, wink* Not that I'm referring to anyone in particular, *Wink*.
Also, Xamu, draw your battles out a bit more. Just one shotting everything isn't as dramatic, and you can't do cool stuff like what Atlas is pulling when there isn't an actual fight going on.

Lol, the goons are supposed to be weak and nothing but an annoyance, unless they outnumber us. Cipher Admins (Like Miror B, even though he's an idiot) are actually pretty good trainers and will be hard to take down unless WE outnumber them.

@Kratour: That's just it, I suck at fight scenes, all the time I just cut to the chase with it!!
I am writing a story right now, hopefully it will be good practice, even though it's a cross of Harry Potter and Universal Century Gundam. I really hate ruining the fights with one-shot kills and such... that's why I'm practicing in story format.
Besides that, time constraints on my end, and the fact that I'm autistic (not idiotic style autistic) makes things even worse on my end.
I hate it when I don't get things done right away... it's stupid that way. I one time started a story earlier this year in January (I can't remember the day or month, I was just guessing on the month, really) and got the first chapter up on July 22nd... I'm that pathetic with setting up deadlines.
If anyone were to beta-read for me (if anyone knows what I mean, say so, please) I'm sure my writing would improve greatly.
Anyway, fight scenes are one of my weak points, okay? I'll give an example from my current project "Newtype Potter":
It is the year 0069 of the Universal Century. It had been years since the end of the Anno Domini year, and the chaos caused by the Laplace incident, in which a terrorist bombing had destroyed the Laplace space station that housed the Prime Minister of Earth for his final hours alive that New Years Eve. A man had found the object called Laplace's Box, who had entrusted it to the Vist Foundation, but that's a story for another time.
People had been made at home in the space colonies when they were evicted from Earth, but for a certain Edward Mass, it was the other way around. He was what is considered a Spacenoid, a human that lived in Space, only his father was murdered and the murderers had organized a massive manhunt that took a lot more time than was necessary because of a friend of the family hiding the remaining family. His real name is Casval Rem Deikun, and he would later be called Char Aznable, the Red Comet.
As he walked around his home in North America, Char (as we’ll call him from this point on) wound up in a room that was not his own, but he thought something was up, because the door outside led to his room for some inexplicable reason, and this was not his room.
‘Hmmm… That’s strange,’ Char thought, ‘I could’ve sworn that this was-‘
“WAAH!!”
Char turned his head to the sound, and discovered that he had wound up in the room of a baby, and not just any baby, mind you, but a baby that gave off a psychic connection that seemed to resonate with him. As he went over to the baby, he felt something was wrong with the room in general… he didn’t know how right he was until running was heard outside the door, in which he turned his head towards the door and saw it change to a closed door with the style of wood different from what he was used to. The door burst open and a redheaded woman appeared, running over to the crib the baby was in as if Char wasn’t even there. Once the situation was made clear, it was when a skeletal man who was addressed as Voldemort cornered the mother.
“Now, the boy, woman… let me kill him or you will be destroyed!!”
“No!! I won’t let you kill Harry!!”
“Very well then…” Voldemort raised his wand and chanted, “Aveda-“
Char, having had too much of this, decided to see if he could intervene for the woman. He quickly saw that the wand was aimed at the woman, so he decided to pull her out of the way, and the spell bounced off the wall there and hit Voldemort. The woman was surprised that there was someone else in the room, but couldn’t see him at all. Once Char noticed this, he thought, ‘What if I wrote to her and she responded back? That ought to get her to realize that “Harry” is safe with me.’ With that thought in mind, he wrote out a series of questions and the woman, named Lily Evans Potter, answered them all to satisfy his curiosity, and even let him take Harry with him, because the Death Eaters, Voldemort’s men, would be after Harry to kill him, and they needed to never know where Harry went and such.
That was to explain the whole "Char takes care of Harry" thing that I have set up, and I have more ideas in the back burner, but I needed to get this clear: I suck at the necessary info for a fight scene!
@Nicsp: I found it useful for distractions to get at Miror B, which worked usefully well, might I add.
What does anyone think about me and fight scenes? I need the info for helping me out on being an author!

I have a few projects going on right now, but mostly story projects, not game projects.
What did you think of what I wrote? I need constructive criticism to improve.
Not quite sure what you are asking XU. If you are asking for help improving your fight scenes, a good first step is to not write the whole fight in one line. For one, you need to set up the capabilities of characters. Spend a few sentences exploring what abliities everyone has, and why they are a threat. It's quite pathetic when a dark wizard dies to a wall.
If you want advice for your fanfiction in general, you're posting in the wrong topic.
