It's from a game called The Last Night On Earth. It's a zombie game.

Sarcasm... how original... I have played exactly once in the last 2 years... Tonight... And have forgotten a lot. Used a fan made rules summery tonight too which did not contain all the terms used. I looked it up myself... Thanks for not helping.

If I knew I was to be made fun of for asking a simple question, I wouldn't have bothered. I have, however, noticed that you seem to have a thing for making fun of people Russ. Maybe I should return the favor and see how you like it? ... No... I won't simply because that wouldn't be right.

OMFG! I'm a Hero? (It actually took me a few to find that photo you used... LOL been that long since I even looked at my gallery... LOL) That is so cool... except the pic... can't see my hair! I'll take a better pic just for it later...

Black Zone? Haven't gotten to that yet... What is that from? If it's official I have it, just ain't read that set's stuff yet apparently.

As for permission... sure, no problem. I don't mind at all.

I know you like your katannas, lol, so I couldn't resist adding them. You're a suicidal melee specialist. That's I envisioned you at least!

If I'm right, the Black Zone is the section of the Sun Track that's blackened out where if a hero dies during that period, he automatically becomes a zombie hero.

Thank you Alice. I appreciate the appropriate response.

I do like them... LOL And the card rules fit me quite well actually. You did some homework on me... that or you just got in a few lucky guesses. LOL

This would make an awesome contest after the trivia game is done.

Yes, my sense of humor is often sarcastic.

It's true, I didn't invent it. Also, I'm apparently not as well versed a user of it as I thought since I seem to be coming off a lot more agro than I intend.

OK well, I can totally understand someone forgetting what the "black zone" is. Heck, even if you do play regularly, it's not like it comes up all that often. I realize that the subtext of my remark could be something like "Well, duh!" But that wasn't what I was going for. I was just amusing myself, (and, I had hoped, others,) by being a...

I was pretty sure someone would remind you what it meant in a short order, and thankfully I was right, (way to step up, Alice!) I'd also like to point out that, at the time I wrote that comment, I hadn't yet looked on the other thread to see that I'd already been spoken to for making fun of Steve (and Orguss.) I admit, I pushed that one too far. I just wanted to share the laugh with other people, but it WAS a laugh at someone else's expense, so I really should have let it drop. I'll be more mindful of this sort of thing in the future.

Once I saw that, I probably should have gone back and deleted this comment. I knew I was now playing the role of the sarcastic jerk, and that any smarmy comments I made would be probably be looked at through that context. Evidence that I'm a disrespectful, bully.

Turn about is fair play, and I'll certainly try not to get too defensive if someone does have a chuckle at my expense. Let's face it, I'm a bald smart-ass who wears eye makeup. It's gonna happen sooner or later, lol!

Ok, NOW I just feel like you're taking a passive aggressive stab at me. If you think I'm acting like a jerk and want to call me on it, that's cool. In fact I'd say you were RIGHT calling me on it, certainly in that other thread at any rate. I think you are well within your rights to point it out when you think my behavior is unacceptable. But now you're basically telling me "I'd insult you too, but I'm better than you, so I wont." Taking the moral high ground doesn't really work when you go out of your way to point out that you're taking the moral high ground.

Now that I've got all that out of my system...I hope you don't think I hold any ill will towards you. I really don't. In the end, I know that you were mostly just trying to keep the peace. I want that too. I don't want the forum to devolve into a mean spirited flame-war, and I'll try to remember that some things are better left unsaid. Thanks for your time.

You should have read what I typed BEFORE I edited it... You are, honestly, quite correct, it was a "stab" at you to use you own words. I was pissed at you for the sarcasm yes, but also for you actions in other threads making fun of people. Read my profile (I know you already did, but this is for all) you pushed buttons with me... the wrong buttons... and it isn't the first time, just the first time I said anything.

Was it right to take a shot at you that way? Likely not, and I'll admit that. In fact I'll even apologize for doing so. But you piss off the bull, you better be outside of the stall. I don't think I am "better" than anyone else, except maybe for those who think they are better than me. We are all equals. I have had my days of being made fun of by people... I know what it feels like... I know how much it can hurt... I will not tolerate it. It is why I am who I am today. Should have seen me as a kid... You'd have had a ball teasing me then. No one does now. So maybe I took it a little to harshly. But I got my point across without being too wrong in my methods. (What I originally posted would have been, trust me.)

With all that being said, your admittance of your actions is accepted. And although it isn't exactly an apology for any of it, I consider it done and dropped.

Let's return to the topic shall we?

No! I wouldn't! Honestly! I swear I'm not some bully! I don't go around just messing with people! If it that's the opinion people have formed of me from my presence on the forums, then I guess I need to represent myself better. Sadly, it's much easier to push things too far in an online environment. I guess should take a cue from you and re-read/re-think posts before I put them out there.

Thank you. And as far as "We should have a custom hero competition," we definitely should! I eagerly await the announcement! I like the idea someone had of having multiple rounds, with different conditions for each. Such as "A celebrity character, A Holy character, a character based on a TZG member," etc... Or you could go another way and have one round, but then have multiple awards for "most original" or "most balanced" or whatever. Hope this comes to fruition!

OK, I have to say this, then the situation is totally dropped. But I feel it important to clarify this point... even if it is unneeded. I do not speak for "people," I speak for myself only. That is, basically, the opinion I am forming. At least beginning to anyway. But I want everyone to know, especially you, that I never speak for anyone but myself personally. And I can be over-sensitive and a bit of a jerk sometimes too when I get upset or angry. Just want to make sure of that point so everyone understands me.

The rest of my comments, I will make private in a PM to you Russ. No more off topic here, at least not from me.

So did this ever take off?
