Roter Baron

Re: Help me name my team; Part Two: Germany. Ah the good ol' days when we paid in Mark and Pfennig - now with the Euro price have skyrocketed and ... Okay, back to the topic: No 18 month natonal service in Germany an ymore - we still have the draft, but it's only 9 month now and socila service (whiyh you have to do if you don't want to serve in the Budneswehr) is now the same length of time (used to be 10 months). There still are reserves, but not as many as there used to be and even though I served I'm not in the reserve. Guess you have to yell "Here! Here! Take me!" and jump up and down to get there. Names for the Characters - some of what I've seen so far are pretty good, but anyhow -her are mine: 1) Power Armored Blaster. Very traditional, except for that big vulnerable head... Take DIE KAMPFMASCHINE (The Fighting Machine/ The Juggernaut) for a really macho name. 2) Female Plasma/Flame blaster. If anyone has some idea how to make her different from Hellfighter from Canadian Shield, by all means run it by me. Something like Fire from the JLA maybe... STEPPENBRAND (Prairie Fire - but it has no "romantic" tone to it in German). 3) Team Mystic. Versatile but not necessarily overpowering. DOKTOR ZAUBERBERG - Zauberberg means "magic mountain" and is the title of a novel by one of the Mann-brothers (forgot if it's Heinrich or Thomas). Anyhow, the magic mountain in the novel is in the Swiss Alps - a sanatorium for people with lung-problems. Maybe the good Doctor is already around for some 150 years and got his alchemic powers by experimenting with substances on aforementioned mountain (it's a real place by the way) to cure his lung ailment - and got more out of it. 4) The Big Thor clone. Sombody alreday said DONAR which is Thor's name in Germany. But if you want to go more for the hammer how about RUNENHAMMER (Runehammer)? 5) Team Gadget dude. Probably a Blaster, but maybe a techie stealth dude? For a Blaster take FEUERSTOSS (Burst of Fire), for a German Batman DER SCHATTEN, although I like Deadman's Nachtjäger even better. 6) That archer guy whose name I can't remember. (pic not included, though go here: http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/de...duct_id=SF-SU5 if you want to see the mini) I would call him Der Grüne Pfeil (the Green Arrow). And please stay clear of "Kreigkampf" - doesn't mean "Headstrike". It should be "Kriegskampf" which means "Warfight" - in both language a rather silly word. My two €-cent (wanna have my Pfennige back!)

Re: Complicate the Person Above That's a religion I would like to join and become Pope of! Der Tribble is an entity that was created before the Big Bang by forces unknown. His whole purpose: To annoy!

Re: Complicate the Person Above L.Marcus should know that - he volunteered to be the Gods and Deities' Great Council's High Executioneer!

Re: Complicate the Person Above Enforcer84 stole all the god's lunches, leaving them hungry, angry, very peed and bringing the world closer to Armageddon! Good job, Mr. Can't-get-enough-must-have-Hades-sandwich-too!

Re: Complicate the Person Above Nah, it's someone else's plane. I shot it down though. The miserable screwhead following me all the way from the Western Front to Disneyland and yelled at the top of his lung: "Shoot the FOKKER down!" I told him a thousand times: DO NOT USE THE F-WORD! He asked for it - he got it! But I see that you are in league with him - maybe a finacee or close friend and you want to avenge him now, by spreading rumors about this certified kill?

Re: Complicate the Person Above But not as mighty is Der Ägyptoide as L. MArcus: He can create a STINKING CLOUD around himself whenever he wants! And don't even come near to him after his usual diet of chili beans and hot spicy sausages!

Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) What about American Idol Hero? Play people with no talent who are an embarassment to themselves and their families. Or Pope Hero. More like a one-on-one-campaign kit. (Popero for short)

Re: Complicate the Person Above L. Marcus - backwards Suc RaM (e)L which is a Sumerian for "Devourer of Souls". Has a second meaning, too: "Rusty Scissors of Doom". Go figure ...

Re: Complicate the Person Above Hmmm ... actually that is true. I do live in the former western province or Prussia, my grandfather from my mother's side was from East-Frisia in northern Germany which was part of Prussia, my mother's mother from Silesia (which was taken by Prussia from Austria-Hungary) and from my father's side all are from this area which was Prussian. Even football clubs in my area feature "Borussia" in their name (Mönchengladbach, Dortmund) - Borussia is the patron of Prussia in the same sense as Bavaria is the patron of Bavaria and Germania of Germany. At least two of them have blue as one of their club colors - Königsblau (King's Blue), the color of Prussian uniforms. In that sense - yep, I'm Prussian, baby!

Re: Complicate the Person Above Cancer and Azatoth teh Mad God are actually the same. I know - I am one of the blind and mad godlings dancing around him and playing the pipes ...

Re: Complicate the Person Above Tkdguy has several secret identities: He is Pope, the High Green Lama of the Serpent People of Leng and King! The last identity is not so secret, actually - I mean he is flaunting it every time he comes to the board: We all know that "tkd" stands for: "The king-dude!"

Re: Complicate the Person Above All wrong, Rebecca! Let's set this straight before you spread more rumours about the Coming Kaiser of the Earth: 1) His name wasn't "Sluggo" - that was the sound his exploding head made when the smithereens hit the wall. His name was something like "AAARGHOHMYGODTHEPAINURGH!!!" or something. 2) Being paranoid does NOT mean that they aren't after you! 3)I am not a "paranoid conspiracy theorist", I am a observant conspiracy practicist! HA! 4) I don't torture "innocent people who look at me cross-eyed" ... I torture AND kill all people who look at me in any way - croos-eyed, straight-eyed, whatever-eyed! And they are all guilty - guilty of looking! Tsk, tsk. Such beauty and so little understanding ... But Egyptoid is right about your undead ex-boyfriends - he knows: He is one of them!

Re: Complicate the Person Above Cancer only knows about the Sinister Secret of My Ancestry because my enemies from RIGEL 9 told him! He has been their ally on Earth for a very long time because they want to launch an invasion and destroy Earth! So, Cancer is not only in their alien pockets, but also a traitor to humankind! The reason why he wants to be the ally of aliens who want to destroy his homeplanet is beyond me - as is the reason why the RIGEL 9 aliens are so serious about the destruction of Earth. Last time I tor ... asked one of them the only rubbish he was muttering was along the lines of "you destroyed our beloved Rigel", "oh, the carnage", "all the dead" blabla. They cannot take the smallest joke, these hammerheads! Killed him for spoiling my day ...

Re: Complicate the Person Above Who filmed the nude Father Christmas and put the video in the internet to spread the infamity of the deed? Todestribbel!

Re: Complicate the Person Above Rebecca knows becaus eshe sometimes moon-lights as the sun ... How she does that is beyond me.

Re: Complicate the Person Above When one of the Horsemen of the Apocalipse had a hang-over and could not join his friends in spreading Armageddon death tribble took his horse and rode as a substitute. But the other three guys kicked him out after one day - he was simply too deadly for the job!

Re: Complicate the Person Above Death Tribble is the Meister of a long forgotten and ultra-secret ninja power that was taught first in Atlantis - after it had sunken to the bottom of the sea!

Re: Complicate the Person Above I comlicate myself so that this post does not get lost in the Multiverse of threads on this board. That's how complicated I am! See?

Re: You've taken over the world. Now what? I'd go for that, too - but I would relieve my newly subjugated subjects of the enormous tax-burden to by my chix golden bikinis. Hey, they are fine without them! That should put me into their dearest heart ... WHAT A LEADER Der Rote Baron IS! they'll say. And from then on my dictatorship is fine.

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? Hexentanz (Dance of the witches) by Schandmaul, German Medieval pop band. Very cool!

Re: Complicate the Person Above Rebeccared50 does not need these glasses - she is hiding some sinister secret behind it! I'm telling ya!

Re: Complicate the Person Above When Cancer's Rep Power reaches 1000 he willascend to heavemn and the world will experience the second coming of ... SANTA!

Re: Complicate the Person Above Yes. And Bazza played the Plague part in it.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Nobody knows what rebeccared50 really cared for - and neither did, does or will she ever do! It's a secret in a riddle wrapped in a mystery that can only be solved at midnight when the wolfbane blossoms, the moon is full, the hapyier cries and witches dance with the devil to the violin played by a blind n hunchback who goes by the name of Waldemar but was christianed Steve. But rebeccared50 does not know that and I am not telling!

Re: Complicate the Person Above Death Tribble has full command over all German traffic lights - but only to show a glaring RED! (You are paying for it I tell you!)
