You're Banned!: The Forum Game

Okay, here's what you do for this game: You have to "ban" the person who posted above you for an outrageous, silly, or funny reason. Got it?

Banned because I have finally scanned in my map!

A few notes: the mountains mentioned here are the floating kind from the movie, if it makes any difference. The whole environment is supposed to be a rainforest, and the jagged line on which the mountains border is a mix of broken rock, jungle, and and torn-up sections where the mountains have broken free from the surface. The shaded masses and the lines connected to them are rivers. I am envisioning this as some kind of aerial photograph-looking thing, but I have no idea if that's at all feasible. The terrain labels (hills, mountains, etc.)aren't really a part of the map, but if it would look good to have labels, the mountains are called the Halleluiah Mountains, while the long skinny lake in the upper left is called the White Lake. I also left out the scale: 1 cm = 10 km. The letter labels should stay letters- if you feel it artistically desirable, I would certainly not stop you from including a key on the map itself, but I can just as easily type one. These are the official, in-story names:

A: Hell's Gate Base [Note that the compound, which is mostly open field surrounded by fence, containing an airstrip, a mine, and a large, silvery urban complex, is actually a regular pentagon of the depicted size. This is not true of the other locations, which are represented by points, are invisible from the air unless I specify otherwise]

B: Augustine's Encampment (Original Location)

C: Augustine's Encampment (Final Location)

D: Ruins Of Tree Of Voices [This place was bulldozed by miners from Hell's Gate. Maybe have brown exposed dirt, excavation, etc?)

E: Tree Of Souls [Surrounded by big mountains and lots of rock arches]

F: Ruins Of Ometikaya Hometree [Immediate surroundings are blasted, cratered, basically a war zone]

G: Site Of Halleluiah Mountain Massacre

H: Fort Liberty

 

I also prepared an overlay (rotated 90 degrees?!) of some other information I need included, namely sector numbers and grids, and the areas controlled by each faction. May need to make two maps if this makes the whole thing too busy...

The colors (which are not something I necessarily want in the final map) are as follows: Blue = Human Territory, Red = Ometikaya Territory, Yellow = Army Territory.

Banned because you're right. It ain't pretty.

But mostly banned because it's appalling that you're wasting that giant, naked brain on a film best forgotten promptly. Appalling. Damn, it's appalling how much I like that word.

Banned because it took me maybe half an hour to make this. No biggie.

Is it?

Either way, we win. :grin:

End of Draakjacht's quote
Yeah, it kind of grew on me. I thought this was just going to be a straightforward"Ok, set Cameron's story right, be done within a week and publish to FF.net" sort of thing. But it's not just about AVATAR any more- it's also a platform for a lot of my own ideas about guilt, and civilization, and China, and robots, and the military, and nature, and Battlestar Galatica, and women, and whiz-bang weaponry, and Islam, and a whole lot of other utterly random stuff I think a lot about.

Banned because I am Tom. Zach lives across the street.

Banned for giving Zach's location away to the Soviet spies! What have you done?

Banned for in Soviet Russia, car drives you!

Reply #36220 Top

Banned because the Soviet Union is so 20th-century. 

Today, a multinational corporation drives your car for you, and provides routing data and mobile phone info to anybody who can claim a 'national security interest' in you.

Reply #36221 Top

banned for they drive you to the middle of nowhere, gives the wrong data and number, and mistakes you for a spy currently dressed in rags in Slovakia.

And yes, you can do it more than once a day, but the once a day is minimum. Keep in mind that many couples who take the challenge fail to make all thirty days by one or two, but still see a marked improvement in their daily attitudes. That's what it's all about, getting the body flowing with positive energy that is shared with the person closest, and thus most likely to have an impact on your daily life.

I guess the answer to this would be 'yes' as the psychological maintenance of one's self is as important as the physical maintenance and sex certainly serves both purposes.
