Eric gives a little smile as Captain knocks the king over. He stands as if he's going to shake the Captain's hand, but then suddenly flips the board over "YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! What are you gonna do about that? Huh, tough guy? Huh? What? What now? Huh? Yea! That's what I thought! The winnar! Also known as the guy who kicked your butt." Eric then begins to do all of Hulk Hogan's poses ""Whatcha gonna do brother? When Malice-amanina runs wild over you?" Eric then caps off the victory celebration by blasting "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" over the stereo system, and doing the national dance of Caucasia. Now mildly out of breath, Eric returns to the table. "Oh yeah... One more thing...: Eric holds up his watch which isn't actually showing time. "I've been programing your moves into the mainframe, and it's been telling me the moves to use to counter. Sorry." *Flees*

Happy birthday.

Don't worry. It's a flesh wound.

Rook - A2 to A1.

"Really? I think they're pretty good." Eric smirked as he slid his own rook to the end of the board. "It all leads up to these last few moves huh? For what it's worth, you really did play a good game here. I'm quite surprised actually. Your unorthodox style really kept me guessing. I'd like to play you again some time, just not tonight, my butt's getting sore."

Pawn - B3 to B2

"You don't have to be so loud. I did in fact, see what you did there. And as for what I plan on doing, I think it would be quite obvious that I'm going to win the game. Now if you don't mind..." Eric slides the pawn one more space forward. "Your move sparky. Don't screw up now." He's only got one move that doesn't instantly give me the victory and about 17 others that guarantee it. I've got this one in the bag.

Or DS could do the easy thing and send everyone the information over the mental link. With the added bonus of everyone hearing the evil monolouge :twisted:

"We now return you to your regularly scheduled winning strategy." says Eric in a mocking announcer voice. Hopefully the Captain doesn't see how he could royally screw me over here. That is what we would call a bad thing. Why am I using 'we' in an internal monologue? Better yet, while am I still monologuing? Eric seems to come out of a daze, and moves his pawn forward. "Sorry about that, zoned out for a moment there."

Pawn B4 to B3

Pawn - F5 to G4

Damn. Exactly what I didn't want him to do. Although this does open an interesting proposition... But no I should play it safe, loosing at this point would just look stupid. I can't let him get another piece on the board, I'd lose for sure. That pawn has to die. Eric takes the newly advanced pawn with one of his own. "Your move mate."

It's a weird thing, being feared. Once people truly fear you, it can be quite hard for them to no longer be afraid of you. You could be doing something a simply as sitting down to dinner, or reading a book, but people still think that you're about to try and kill them. It can quickly grow on one's patience, though that does little to alleviate the fears of others. So you want people to stop fearing you so you can just have a normal conversation without them constantly looking for the exits. But the universe always has a way of paying you back. The precise moment when people get over their fear of you is the exact moment you want them to be afraid. So now you have to go through the whole process of scaring the pants off them again, which really isn't all that hard, it's just the principle of the thing. You have to expend more effort to return things to the status quo. It reminds me of a concept they teach in science class, entropy. Without getting all technical, entropy is the "messiness" of a system. A system prefers to be messy, and to keep it orderly requires the input of energy. Basically, if you don't clean your house, it'll get dirty. Now, what the heck does entropy have to do with being feared? It's quite simple actually. See fear is a common tool used to control people. It's commonly used because it is universally understood, and elicits an immediate response due to humanity's fight or flight mechanism. However, the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. Fear requires ever increasing amounts of energy to keep people controlled, as entropy becomes stronger and stronger. The only true way to have long term control over people is to befriend them. But befriending people takes a long time my dear Johnny. And I really don't have that kind of time anymore. I have plans to put into action, but first I need some information you possess. The problem is Johnny, you don't want to help me, but I need your cooperation. So Johnny, I have to make you fear me. I would really like to avoid all this unpleasentness, I'm not that much of a sadist, but you forced my hand. Remember Johnny, you asked for this.

Hehe. Glad everyone got a kick out of that. I actually found that quote on a motivator on May 7th, and I've been waiting to use it ever since.

"Huh. I think I may have started to screw myself over by messing around with you." It was true, had had to be careful now or else the Captain's pawns could very well box him in, and then he would be in a real pickle, not to mention look really, really stupid. Alright, no more playing around. I need to get my stuff in order and then go for the win. First thing's first, gotta get the king out of the line of fire. Eric moved his king so the pawns were now a barrier between it and the rook. "Your move."

King to G5.

From page 87 of Mecha and Manga There is so much win in this book. If you like anime or manga, of any variety, get this book, you won't be disappointed.

In time for the release of Mecha and Manga, Marvel has released previews for their 2 new retellings of old stories with an anime twist. Who is it? None other than Iron Man and Wolverine Personally, I think the Wolverine one looked horrible, but I think I could get into Iron Man.

No, but you can have this.

Pawn G7 to G6

"Oh you're right, perhaps that was a little mean. Here's let me give you another shot at it." With that Eric moves his last untouched pawn 1 space forward, accomplishing... nothing what so ever. Looking at the Captain's most likely perplexed expression, Eric simply shrugs his shoulders "What? You said it was time for something completely different. I saw a bandwagon and I jumped on it. Don't hate the playa, hate the game. Yo."

For a moment Eric simply stood there, seemingly removed from the world. And then he burst out laughing uncontrollably. It was as if someone had told the world's greatest joke; Eric was doubled over with true legitimate laughter. But as Eric began to regain his composure, something... wasn't right. His laugh started to sound hollow, forced, even downright mad. With this laugh framed by the wreckage of the city, the flames reaching high into the sky rapidly turning black in midday, and the smell of ash and burnt flesh, you were lead to one inescapable conclusion; there was something wholly and truly evil about this man. "Are you so completely caught up in your delusions of self righteousness that you cannot see what I truly am? If I am as smart and caring as you think I am, do you truly think I would be doing anything other than helping these people? 'He could do such great good if he really put his mind to it' is that what you're thinking? Wake up you damn fool! I AM doing good, and you don't even know the meaning of the word! You are a hero because people say you are. I am a villain because people say I am. Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say, doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world-- SCREW YOU! Make no mistake Dark Star, this is not submission or surrender. This is a promise. This is a promise, that one day in the very near future, I will repay the wrongs done to me this day a thousand fold. I will destroy all you and your kind stand for and out of the ashes, I will create a new world order! I will save these people from themselves, because I know what's best for them. Only I can truly see that plague that is killing this world. I am RIGHT, and the world is WRONG. But enough of this idle chatter. Come on hero, we have lives to save." Eric turns to walk to the injured people, but then stops and turns back to Dark Star. "And please, remember to include that in your testimony."

(14:30:24) Geez3r: remember this explosion was accidental, when Malice blows something up on purpose... >:-D (14:30:58) Ecalsneerg: Accidental? (14:31:14) Geez3r: and remember in the post prior, Malice mentioned that he had designed a gun specifically to combat DS (14:31:14) Ecalsneerg: I strapped a detonator to an explosive arrow and threw it in your ammo dump (14:31:22) Warmonger: It should be like. "Malice you have an incredible gift. With your mind you could do such for humanity. Be the champion you were meant to be." (14:31:33) Geez3r: but you didn't intend to bring the building down (14:31:30) FreedomBot: Error: Connection status: 0 (14:31:34) Warmonger: Then Malice says" Yeah but I don't like you."
