Umm, well...You'll have to forgive me, I can be a little shy on these things.

Anyway, my name is Patrick O'Shea, nonsalaried educationally active unit (aka: unemployed university student). I have followed the Eyrie stories for some time, but this is the soonest I could muster enough backbone to subscribe to the board.

Not really a lot to tell about myself, I'm a low level anime fan (I've yet to go to a con; THEN I can call myself an otaku initiate :-), gamer, and have no artistic talent that I can detect. I'm open to further questions, comments, etc.

If he comes at you, press -this- button and hold very still - the Spacy only leaves enough room in the holes in their saturation bombardments for one person.

Blessed be.

You forgot the DBZ law of large explosions: the bigger the blast, the higher the chance the target will come out of it untouched. Snipers have a far better chance. The OID has a full division on DBZ duty. The rest are hunting Macek.

In the same line as 'Things I’d Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord', 'Things I’d Do If I Ever Became A Dragonball Z Fighter':

#3: Never use an attack that would cause me to lose line of sight of my enemy.

#2: Remember that taking time to gloat over a mementary advantage may lose me the advantage.

#1: Never hand over a senzu bean to my enemy, nor give them a few minutes to achieve ther 'ultimate form'.

Why do you all insist on using him agains the DBZ crowd? I've got a fas better mission for him. *hands poshea some specOps gear and a bomb* Okay son here is the situation. The tides of Battle in the civil war of the Ranma Republic have taken some turns I do not like. The Alliance Of Drooling Shampoo + Ranmachan Hentai Fanboys is gaining more and more power. They must be stoped. The civilized part of the Otaku Colony has no interest in that war to end. So we will send you to Shampoo City where the alliance has its HQ. You will place the bomb on the city's fusion reactor. And don't worry an extraction team will get you out as soon as the bomb is placed.

>Why do you all insist on using him agains the DBZ crowd?

Because, let's face it, Ranma is actually enjoyable on some
level, whereas DBZ is just plain annoying if not more.

That said, I think it may be time to stop the wanton
abuse of the two Series That Should Not Be Named
about now, 'cause we're getting repetitive.
It's been said before, it's been done before,
and it wasn't much use. As fun as this is,
wait for another excuse. You can only abuse
a single one _so_ much before it gets boring.

Right, I'll just put that on the 'no mention' list. Oh,
Blob-san? What's this about my transfer to the 'Gundam
Extra' pool? Is it a good unit?

Hey!! No fair!! Blob, you told me I'd get the next few recruits! I mean, Thorndike just sunk Blue 5 again, and you know what that does to my sub force staffing levels!!

Huh? Damn it Blob, would you stop sending Weasels off to cannon fodder regiments? I need them over here! Gendo Ikari's been trying to start the Third Impact again and it's more then a little difficult to stop him when the only people I've got to spare are Sailor Moon wannabes.

Well.....I Suppose you can request that they transfer the Sailor Moon wannabes for a better trained Squad like say...a few Mad Cats.. or Heck go to the Old Republic consulate and request some Jedi Masters if there are any left.
But heck lets be serious this is Gendo Ikari we are talking about..Just Hack the MAGI and get DJ croft transferred to NERV..WE all know what will happen.....

Guys, it'd kind of be nice if people weren't afraid to introduce themselves because their introductions get turned into long, drawn out, boring injoke fests.
