  1. Filler is.... Something you use to fill a space. Something messed up. Chapter 7: Hunters and Liars "Quorrai." "You speak that filth?" "No. Just teasing you." "What do you want?" "There's a bug running wild. Our sensors show that there's a possibility the bug can be engineered into a hack that can effectively un-ban the banned. We would like you to neutralize it." "What do I get out of this?" "What you always get." * * * Elite Sniper stared at Mayh3m. Mayh3m stared at Elite Sniper. "So, what're you doing so far out of the city?" Mayh3m spoke up, slowly sheathing his sword as he squinted his eyes. "I'm a bounty hunter. I hunt bugs and earn from them. Mayh3m frowned. "Even though this place is non-profit?" For a moment, Elite Sniper gazed upwards as he himself questioned the exact logic of a profitable non-profit job, before he simply shrugged, giving up on trying to reason with something on the internet. "Yeah. Even though this place is non-profit." "So what now?" "Seems to be life's greatest mayhem, ain't it?" Elite Sniper shrugged, then with a wave gestured towards the vast expanse of the wilderness of 343i. From their point of view, the two of them could see far, far into the distance. Mountain peaks, capped with snow, and beneath them a desert. And stretching towards and across the horizon was a lush green jungle. This was beautiful, raw, untamed internet. Mayh3m squinted his eyes, questioning whether he had just been mocked. "Anyways, there's talks going around of a powerful bug on the loose in these forest-y parts of the wild. While I'm pretty much done for the day, it may be good if we head out, see if we could find anything, or even set some traps-" "Woah, wait, hold on a second," Mayhem said, holding his hands out flat in emphasis, "What are you talking about? Don't put me next to you, idiot. I'm not some bounty hunter." Elite Sniper shrugged. "Well, you're here, and you asked what now, so I answered. And I figured you may as well join, because, you know, why not. ... "Fine. I'll go and.....take a.....look. I bet this bug doesn't exist though. Tell me more about it, so I can tell you exactly how wrong, dumb and stupid you are." * * * Banned...... Drizzy looked around. They'd been through this forest for ages; while being banned already felt like you had taken what seemed to be a 10 day hike already, right now, they HAD just taken a hike, and it was taking it's toll. Drizzy was tired, Spyro was trudging, and Pbrabbit was.... Well, he was sitting on Spyro's head doing absolutely nothing. Luckily for him, Spyro was a nice guy so he didn't complain or threaten to do anything to the Rabbit perched upon the top of his head, but he didn't really like it one bit. Suddenly, Drizzy stopped. Something about what he saw in front of him forced unto him a frown on his face. "What is it?" Spyro said as both he and Pbrabbit arched their necks upwards to see what Drizzy was seeing. In front of them was a crater, a few feet wide. Normally you didn't find random craters in a forest, and it dawned on them the possibility that they had walked in a circle. They spread out silently, looking for more clues. That one rock there, that looked a bit like a dead mudkip. The tree, right there, that was slightly bent. Small tidbits of information stored in their subconscious were now their tools to test if this was where Pbrabbit had landed - and everything screamed to them that it was. "Argh, dangit!" Drizzy proclaimed in frustration as he kicked up some dirt, "We've been walking in circles!" Pbrabbit's ears perked up. "Err.....that sucks. Why does walking forwards always somehow turn tail us backwards?" Spyro asked to nobody in particular, before giving out a small burst of flame in annoyance. Looking around, everywhere it was just the same - the same, the same vines, the same colored leaves of the canopy that blocked out the sun - not that it could have guided them anyways. Ignoring him, Pbrabbit turned, facing a seemingly random direction into the forest. "Uh.....guys?" "Uh.....guys?" Now both Drizzy and Spyro turned towards that direction with a sudden movement, both of them a bit confused as to what they'd just heard. A second later, Drizzy grit his teeth. His hands reached over to draw his weapon - before he realized he didn't have one. Embarassed, and now even more annoyed at all the problems he seemed to be suddenly getting, he silently gestured the other two to follow him through the forest - with urgency. "Come on, lets go. Before we meet the source of that sound." "What is it?" Pbrabbit asked, even as Spyro began to lumber forwards and follow the moderator in a half-jog half walk. "This is the banned realm. While we're "normal", the people who have been banned for legitimate reasons aren't. They'll be against us, because that's just who they are. Trolls troll. Pricks are pricks. Spammers spam. And what we just heard....." He gulped. Here, they were in banned territory. Without sufficient planning (Not that it was possible, considering they never saw getting banned coming), or Drizzy's full powers, they were now the prey within an alien world. "Imposters. Posers. Do not be fooled by who they are." /discuss
  2. Never seen these problems. Almost certainly, 343i wouldn't let go of any hackers in their matchmaking service anyways. You'll have to be 100% sure it's not lag. Just because you aren't teleporting around the map doesn't mean you aren't lagging.
  3. Why would I! .... Filler again pls
  4. It doesn't fit the pinning criteria. Can't rush the story to the point when you 6 get into the story. Boss, Sparky, Yoshi, Blackwolf and TDM aren't in here too. Filler please.
  5. I'll be looking forwards to when you explain it, because it's either going to be very clever or very unfair.
  6. All I can say is use a name. Not 'Spartan X' or 'Pokemon Trainer Y' or 'Whovian Z'. Pick something that relates, but isn't directly related, because you're looking for a unique name, not a generalizable name/title.
  7. Vlacas (VLA-cus) - Shoutbox; Chatbox; (Nouns) Vlac (VLA-ck) - Chat (Verb)
  8. They wanna revive Megatron? Seems like there's more of an ulterior motive than just killing Optimus for killing other people...... Hmmm. KUTGW.
  9. Matchmaking KDR does. Keep in mind he said Matchmaking kill death ratio - that means he isn't playing against all the MLG Pro players, but a large range of players. Factor in the fact that, as Mr. Biggles said, MLG in Halo isn't really that big anymore and the number of good players in general population has most probably decreased over time, you'll realize it does make a big effect.
  10. With this length, I'll probably be both more motivated to write, and also be able to do it quicker, so expect shorter release dates. If at all possible I might end up doing this weekly. Yes, there was a reference. And no, usually things are fairly simple when you look at it from a large perspective. Chapter 6: Deal of two mods They were in that same bar once again, HaloGeek sipping on a glass of apple juice, Edward drinking rum, The Kilburnator sipping on that crimson juice that simply didn't look humane at all, and Church drinking water. "So, what?" Edward asked. While the adrenaline rush and the other side effects had calmed down, it was still hitting him hard how close he had been to being banned. Only through an unplanned miracle had he survived, and there was little to no idea whether the MoM's power would work again. It had dissipated after shielding him from the sniper's bullet, and he didn't want to test whether the power was still there. "I mean, what now?" Church shrugged. Out of all of them, he was still the most carefree. While normally this would be apt, and he had OP mod powers he could freely abuse on each and every other person within the group, their enemy was somebody who could strike right through it. It seemed as though Church was oblivious to that fact, as he replied casually, "Nothing. We really just have to wait and hope to stop the Sniper's next attack." The crew looked at each other, then back at Church. HaloGeek was the one who spoke what was on all their minds. "You're a mod. Surely you have ways of detecting this sniper that far exceeds the capabilities of the average member." Church shrugged. "I might," he replied, "But I'm not sure if I DO, and even then I don't want to go snooping around against somebody who can ban me." The Kilburnator frowned, squinting his eyes at the same time. "So you're just lazy." "Nope. Anyways, I think this ragtag meeting of ours is done. There's nothing.......we.......can do. Lets just make sure to private message each other in case we see anything fishy....But not Fishy! because he's a nice member and a cool guy. Fishy, as in, fishy, so it's like....." He paused awkwardly, then sighed. "Nevermind. You understand what I'm trying to say." And then he stood up, and sprinted for the exit, leaving the others in the dust. A few seconds, 6 corners and 9 alleys later, Church burst out laughing. "HAHAHAH! Idiots! Man, the look on their faces. Thank goodness I could get away from all that yiddie-yaddle.....TitanFall Beta, here we go! YES! I'm gonna play for, like hours straight. Gonna get-" A sudden flicker of movement, and the moderator spun with an expert grace and practiced movement, unhitching his sniper rifle and swiftly firing a volley of 4 shots forwards. "Come out. I can sense you." As if a ghost solidifying, Zelda appeared from the cover of the darkness, wearing simple, casual clothes. While to the average member it would have been nothing out of the ordinary, Church could make out the form of the skinsuit underneath that Azaxx had made for his protegé. Though he did let his stance slack and his rifle lower, he still kept his guard up. He knew Azaxx's power, and he wasn't exactly open minded in testing out what exactly Azaxx had empowered within Zelda. "Hello, Zelda. What brings you here?" Coyly, she smiled, approaching the other moderator with a small twinkle in her eye. She wanted something - or Azaxx wanted something. It was always one or the other. "My master can see that you've decided to create a team to try and hunt the Sniper." Church frowned. He had no recognition of doing anything of the sort. What team was Zelda talking about? Blue Team? Church didn't want to get teamkilled again. "He has personally requested that.......I keep them in line. HaloGeek, Edward, The Kilburnator.....they are a loose cannon. My master won't risk that, and he hopes neither will you." "Oh," Church said, "So he's butting into MY business without even finding out all the details." Silently annoyed, he wondered whether telling Zelda or Azaxx of the fact that those 3 had come begging him to help rather than the other way around would change the plans the Master and Apprentice duo had. Probably not, knowing those two. Zelda hissed. "Do not speak of my master like that, Church. You may be a moderator, but respect is still a thing." "Yeah, sure. How respectful is lurking in the dark, always listening to everything said but never speaking up? Because that's Azaxx for you." "Shut up. Answer the question - will you accept his request or not?" "That's not even a question!" "How is it not?" "How is it?" "JUST ANSWER IT!" "FINE! Yes, I accept Azaxx's weirdo stalker request to have you around!" Wordlessly, Zelda nodded, coming in close to randomly hug Church for no reason. "Your request has been accepted," she whispered into his ear, "You'll be notified when we find something." Church twitched. MY REQUEST? As if deciding it was time to flee from the incoming wrath of the moderator, Zelda smiled, turned, and once again vanished into the dark using the arts of the lurker. Church grunted in annoyance at the turn of events, waited for a moment to see if something would happen, before finally deciding to go. "Well....now that that's all over, I can finally - wait....what?" With an urgency, he quickly began to fish into his pockets, trying to look for something that he had apparently lost. "But...but....it was just there a minute ago! NooooOOOOOO-" * * * "Was the negotiation successful?" "Yes, Master. I'll be heading out to oversee Church's group soon." "And the other thing?" Zelda grinned, holding up a beta key for TitanFall in her hands. "Of course, Master." /discuss
  11. Yes. Did you know I despise these forum games, because they're really just questions and answers and don't have a big 'game' factor to them?
  12. I don't really like the background, because it so heavily impacts the foreground. More of the particle fx might be helpful. However, the text movement looks really good, albeit the random angles are...well, very random. Most of the time in an intro, even the angles have a bit of order to them. Would be cool to see what you fully create out of this!
  13. ....... you just wait cuz oh man oh man
  14. Me gusta. Question, exactly how far through the story is this?
  15. I can tell you that yes, it kind of is that simple. The same way you would describe life as "Living, then death" Also, dear readers, discuss Pls.
