PC is not real life, you can't say "You did this on PC so you will do it IRL" PC and IRL is two different things.
And for your question: No I would not.

I would never ever put on makeup and nail polish in real life it's just not right to do, but on here were not actually doing any of the stuff.

Shiney July 14th, 2004 10:04 PM

I would not either, the closest I've ever come was purposefuly lighting myself on fire.

i think its fine but I mean honestly we are here to talk forums in stuff not to date and change there genders. The forum is called "Pokecommunity" not "This is a place where we change our gender because we have nothing else to do"

You people even said that children view this what are we teaching them that boys pretend to be girls? I mean honestly look at the age group of pokemon I mean come on people think about it this is just getting out of hand how do we know parents won't see this and complain huh? My point

They can complain all they want. There is nothing "ethically" wrong with this, if you're willing to look through enough law books. I mean, certain surgeries are legal, and ethical according to law, so there's no reason that this shouldn't be.

Blaze July 14th, 2004 10:20 PM

still pokemon is for youths and this can certainly get a lawsuit I mean if you can sue over pokemon cards you can certainly do this. And im serious this is getting out of a hand seriously parents can make this a big issue and I mean look at it you are being stubborn now saying they cant do anything but actually they certainly can and whats worse is this is multi-national

And when has someone actually WON a lawsuit over the cards hmm?

If we were to really get into technical stuff, if they were to bring up a lawsuit over this, that would be violating some civil rights of the members.

What good is being on a forum if you can't have any fun? And like who will know we are boys? I mean I got posts saying I was a she and they didn't know so what was hurting them? Nothing, they though I was a girl and poof they will think I'm a girl till I change back.

And please don't bore me with "this is a Pokemon forum, it's called Pokemon Community" stuff. Look at my rank and that should tell you I know what kind of forum it is. If you can't have fun then there is no need to be on a forum. And all you take it to far, I mean we like our dares so we are going to stick with our dares so why go on and on and on and on about them?

You sound like you're familiar with that form, and still, considering the one I'm in, that's no competition. How about we either pick our own forms for this fight, or I pick one for you that is equally unfamiliar, but FAIR. I promise not to make you worse off than I am in any way.

Oh yeah. Well, the effects are very short-term, so you shouldn't make a gir- err, fool out of yourself in front of anyone.

So you claim. But at least for the rest of today I intend to keep my cool, RPGs not included.

Well, keeping your cool and keeping your estrogen under control are two different things. But I did design them to be very short term, 20 to 35 minutes at the most.

No, I mean in general. Not just what happened in the games. I meant an in-depth look at both characters, not their "stats and level"

Flygon trainer July 15th, 2004 11:03 AM

meh, never did much research on cloud and seph, so I wouldn't know.

Taken from http://www.tao.cx/tos/

Masamune
The Masamune is the name of Sephiroth's sword (and it also crops up in other FF games in various guises), it's an extremely long, curved (having the sword slightly curved gives it more strength to witdthstand battles) sword. It could be a No-Dachi, a six-foot war sword. And probably originated from Japan's Old Sword Period (called Koto) which was their Golden Age of swordmaking. This was when they forged blades with a curve to make them stronger and they also made long swords which were over four feet in length (which Sephiroth's masamune certainly is >D). From reading in my martial arts encyclopedia (which is a very interesting book, btw +B) I have learned that "Mune" is the japanese name for the back of a sword, and there are all different kinds of classifications like "kakumune", "mitsu-mune", "mune-hikushi" etc. Which all mean different things about the backs of the sword, eg, mitsu-mune is a double back on a sword. 'Masamune' translates to 'straight back'/'straight backridge'. Anyway that's just a little bit about the Masamune and it's name literally. But most likely the name of Masamune comes from the Japanese swordsmith of the same name. One of the most (THE most?) reknowned Japanese swordsmiths of all time. Masamune lived during the Kamakura Era in Japan (late 1200s - early 1300s) and had an immense talent for sword-making. His swords were believed to have spiritual attributes to them, and some stories say only those with a pure soul could wield them. The famous legend behind Masamune's swords is this; if you placed the blade of a Masamune into a stream, if a leaf floated towards the blade, it would change course (as if being repelled by the sword's true nature) and not get sliced in two. The Murasame blade (interestingly enough, one of Cloud's swords in the game) in the same leaf test is said to attract any leaves that pass by and cut them all. This is because whoever forged the Murasame could not have understood properly the true purpose of a sword, to save lives not just to take. Hence the destructive nature of the sword. The Murasame appears to really be a legendary sword, probably based on the name "Muramasa" a swordsmith whose swords were cursed by his misunderstanding of his art (also interesting is that Muramasa was one of Masamune's pupils @[email protected];; ). The Murasame was probably made up to contrast with Masamune's swords. Thankyou to everyone who has emailed be about the Masamune, and helped me clear through all the variations of information/stories/etc to [hopefully] get the facts right!

The Masamune is the name of Sephiroth's sword (and it also crops up in other FF games in various guises), it's an extremely long, curved (having the sword slightly curved gives it more strength to witdthstand battles) sword. It could be a No-Dachi, a six-foot war sword. And probably originated from Japan's Old Sword Period (called Koto) which was their Golden Age of swordmaking. This was when they forged blades with a curve to make them stronger and they also made long swords which were over four feet in length (which Sephiroth's masamune certainly is >D). From reading in my martial arts encyclopedia (which is a very interesting book, btw +B) I have learned that "Mune" is the japanese name for the back of a sword, and there are all different kinds of classifications like "kakumune", "mitsu-mune", "mune-hikushi" etc. Which all mean different things about the backs of the sword, eg, mitsu-mune is a double back on a sword. 'Masamune' translates to 'straight back'/'straight backridge'. Anyway that's just a little bit about the Masamune and it's name literally. But most likely the name of Masamune comes from the Japanese swordsmith of the same name. One of the most (THE most?) reknowned Japanese swordsmiths of all time. Masamune lived during the Kamakura Era in Japan (late 1200s - early 1300s) and had an immense talent for sword-making. His swords were believed to have spiritual attributes to them, and some stories say only those with a pure soul could wield them.
