Off Topic / A 14-year old girl almost beaten to death in my town

« on: December 11, 2013, 02:40:26 PM »

So I heard about this today and I would link you the news article, but I. Dont think quite many of you know finnish.

So there were these 4 people, two men and two women, who were doing drugs and had been accused for assaulting another guy. Apparently they broke into the house, where the guy was living and the guy managed to run away from them. They ran after him and asked a girl, waiting at a nearby bus stop, where the guy had ran off to. The girl told them and for some reason, the adults decided to grab the girl and take her back inside the house. The girl was beaten to a near death-state, when she tried to play dead. Apparently this worked, since the adults were so high and whatnot. They were about to slice her throat open and stab her in the eyes, but were fooled by the girl's acting. So the adults dragged the "dead" girl outside and hid her under a car, from where she was found by someone else, who called the cops.

The adults are now waiting for their trial and the whole town is furious. The house, where they assaulted the girl (which was NOT their house) has been completely destroyed, the windows of the car, where the girl was hid, have been broken and even one of the adults' kids has been beaten up (even though he had nothing to do with the assault).

Suggestions & Requests / Jarate

« on: December 10, 2013, 02:52:31 AM »

I suggested this on Pandan's add on thread but here it is again.



For those, who don't know what it is, it is the legendary jar-based karate item in Team Fortress 2, that works a bit like a grenade, that explodes on impact. Jarated enemies take more damage for a short time and it reveals cloaked players.

Applying this to blockland as a weapon/item could be tricky so here is what I suggest to those, who want to make a simple version:

-players hit by the jarate will emit yellow water particles for a few seconds.
-a yellow flash on the screen (if possible)
-make the player really slow for a while (if possible)
-if slowing the player down isnt possible, it could just be made into a simple grenade weapon, that deals some damage.

Off Topic / Extremely slow Wi-fi on my computer

« on: December 01, 2013, 11:21:02 AM »

So, for a few weeks, my wi-fi speed has been that of a snail's. Its supposed to be around 65 mbps, but today it's been somewhere around 6.5 or even 1.0 mbps. The weird thing is, this problem only occurs on MY computer. Ipad works really fast and has no problems, while the computer has problems loading google... I asked my mom (and occasional laptop friend) and they've had no problems with internet connection. I've scanned my computer and removed unnecesary files, but the only thing making it go faster for around 2 minutes is reconnecting.

Any ideas what is causing this?

Off Topic / Dog just had epilepsy seizure

« on: November 21, 2013, 08:30:52 PM »

I was woken up about an hour ago by my mom, who had to go to the hospital. She had woken up to our dog having a seizure and had to stop him from choking on his own tongue. Now I gotta stay up in case he has more attacks, while she's getting her arm fixed. Also I got an english test in around 3-4 hours....

It isnt really the epilepsy, that is worrying me, but the fact, that he might have to take more medication. Hes already taking pills to stay calm (he gets really nervous, when nobody is home with him), but taking more pills would be bad for his heealth...

Forum Games / Born from the wyvern - An RPG-ish forum adventure (STILL ALIVE BISHES!)

« on: November 03, 2013, 04:25:11 AM »

STORYLINE
It has been 20 years since the great demon was released upon Terra's continents. Humanity is on the brink of destruction as monsters roam the dead forests and dry wastelands and the survivours have taken refuge in the two remaining great cities, one in the cold Nors region in the north and another one in the southern region of Malycia. Among the people of those cities are those, who are called by hunting, treasure and adventure to explore these dead lands of what used to be the peaceful lands of Terra. They are often paid to find valuables left behind by refugees, or to raid monster nests near the cities. Sometimes they venture deeper into Terra, often with different purposes: Training for the next attack on the city, seeing their homeworld for one last time, or to find and destroy the source of the monsters.

CHARACTER CREATION

(thanks to Powerdag)
NAME:
CLASS: (specified below)
STARTER WEAPON: (specified below)
STARTING LOCATION: (south or north)
OTHER: (background and so on. Optional.)

CLASSES
PALADIN: A very balanced class. His heavier armor and sword makes him an overall good fighter, but he has some skill with white magic aswell.
KNIGHT: A heavy class more focused around physical strenght. Wears heavy armor like the paladin and fights using either a lance or a hammer. The word "pain" is not in their vocabulary. Also they are really slow.
WHITE MAGE: A must have in larger parties, as their skills with white magic are unmatchable. They are physically weak, but are capable of defending themselves with either a staff or a bow.
BLACK MAGE: A magician class focused more on offensive spells, such as fireballs, thunderbolts and hurricanes. Like the white mages, they are physically weak, but can fight if they have to, either with a staff or a whip
MERCENARY: A full on physical class. They fight using either a longsword or an axe. Unlike knights, they have very light armor, allowing them to move quickly, even while wielding a gigantic weapon, but they are more vunerable, as they are very bad at parrying incoming attacks.
HUNTER: A survival expert and a master of long range combat. Using a bow, or sometimes a rapier, their agility is their strenght and they have mastered the art of dodging enemy attacks. Their armor is very light, which means when they get hit, they get hit really hard.

LOCATIONS
NORS: A cold continent in the north. Nors is famous for their horse riders and tough warriors. The southern parts used to be farmlands, but ever since the monsters appeared, its nothing but ruins now.
FORRA: A continent in the northwest, that used to be full of lush forests and mountains. Now the forests are slowly dying as the monsters are burning and eating the trees away. A settlement of dwarves used to be somewhere there, but there has been no sign of life from there for quite a while.
MALYCIA: The southern region of Terra, that once was the greatest human nation. Now the flatlands and hills are full of nothing, but destroyed settlements and ruined temples.
SARS: A continent in the southeast, that is nothing, but dry desert and volcanoes. Orcs used to have settlements around Sars, but nothing has been heard from them ever since the monsters appeared.

BATTLE SYSTEM

Each character has 10 hitpoints. Each turn of the battle, you may decide wether you want to continue fighting or run. Each character has a single action during his turn, which can be a normal attack, using magic or an item. Different weapons deal different ammounts of damage to enemies. A standard iron sword deals around 4 damage to a non-armoured target, 3 damage to light armour and 1 damage to heavy armour. When a character wishes to attack, I roll a dice to determine the result:
1-2 = miss  3-5 = hit  6 = critical hit (150% damage)

Spells have a slightly different system:

1-2 = Failure  3= 50% damage hit  4-5 = 100% damage hit   6= 200% damage hit + user loses 1 hitpoint.

Off Topic / Itunes/appstore wont accept my credit card information (SOLVED)

« on: October 18, 2013, 03:28:08 PM »

Okay, first of all: yes I have googled for help without success.

So about a month ago I bought an app from appstore. A few days later it tells me that there have been problems with my previous purchase and I had to check all my payment information for mistakes. Everything was correct so I pressed done. It comes up with a red text saying "your payment method was declined. Please enter another payment method". I keep trying to change some of thr info but always come up with the same error. So I changed something in my address (removed the appartment number) and it worked. Last week I bought another app and guess what? The error returns, only this time I can't fix it. And I am 100% sure that the info is correct, because I use the same card everywhere else without any problems. The weird thing is, I can't even download free apps, or those I've already purchased...

Also sorry if there are any typos. I still haven't gotten used to typing on ipad

Forum Games / FORUM ISLAND - THE FABULOUS MANSION (Rest in pieces)

« on: September 26, 2013, 06:08:32 AM »

STORY SO FAR

The blockland forums got hacked and the users were transported onto a virtual island, where they had to survive the challenges Legoboss (who later on turned out to be Rotondo in disguise) made them. The real creator of the virtual island, Ian, managed to free himself and sacrificed himself, so that the forumers could escape the island.

STORY NOW

It's been a week since the forumers got out of the virtual world. The winner of the first season, Jarelash, is hosting a celebration at his mansion in honor for those, who survived the horrors of the island.

CHARACTER SUBMITTING

If you already have been on Forum island, you can just use your previous character, or a slightly modified version of one. Any new characters will join in later on in the adventure.

here is a template for new adventurers

Off Topic / Getting good grades from school by writing about my RPG project

« on: September 19, 2013, 01:59:01 AM »

So, Im in upper secondary now and during english, you can write some extra stuff if you want to slightly improve your grades. So I've been writing about that RPG game I've been working on and our teacher actually seems suprisingly interested in it. Of course I do all the excersises, that were given to us, but this way I can improve my grades even more (well, last year I got an A, so yeah...Kinda hard to improve them lol)

General Discussion / Jkaart's Music Videos

« on: September 02, 2013, 02:56:51 AM »

IDEA
So I made this music video some time ago, which seemed otherwise like a good idea, except for the lack of people (we had 2 players and a bot playing...). I decided to start making more music videos, but I'm going to need more people, mainly on instruments and stuff, but other help (builds and so on) is also appreciated.

BAND MEMBERS
Jkaart - guitar/vocals
Boss Dragon - guitar
