    Yes, yes, let's all just reveal our innate powers through tedious exposition. Surely no villains will find this useful at all, for they will remain conveniently oblivious.

    Nope, the villains never exploit character weaknesses. Bravo, everyone.

    Because it's not like people could just be bored at work and finding a random entry that looks interesting?

    You really thought that through.

    I actually really respect you for your awesome CF phalla, so I'm not going to get into a pissing match here.

    Suffice to say, assuming that everyone is stupid enough to drop massive hints about what they are is both slightly insulting and slightly arrogant.

    Through the use of poopsocking, I shall level grind myself up until I am uber-powerful, with shining armour and with 20 levels on anyone else around here. Once I have found the Infinity plus one sword, I shall lay about me, hacking all the noobs in the arena and causing a never-to-be-matched spray of ludicrous gibs.

    After I have saved the princess and saved the world, I'll claim my reward and strike a victory pose.

    Huh... I probably should have put more thought into my Rule of Cool entry and added some TVTropes links into it. Ah, well.

    Infidel could have said it nicer, but it is a good reminder to make sure that ones role and ability does not influence ones Rule of Cool entry, either towards or against similarity. Roleplaying is nice and all, but it does make targets out of people - DA's Ultimate Phalla in CF definitely had some of that.

    Something seems a bit off with Infidel today... I'm concerned enough that it's worth putting down a vote. !vote Infidel.

    I've come to realize,
    I find myself just standing at the start,
    And I always fade away the very same part.

    With belief in my heart,
    I try my best to go across the fading steps
    But I can't help myself from falling down to death!

    If I only had the item, Number 2,
    it'll take me to the other side short and easy!

    I fight many times,
    Many many times
    But Air Man just can not be defeated! Why?!

    No matter how I try,
    Tornadoes are blocking my way!

    Go for a chance from behind and shoot him in the back,
    but sooner or later, I'll be blown away!

    Endlessly pushed start, however and forever,
    with tornadoes there's no way!

    To win the next fight, the last final one,
    The E-Can is the last thing I'll hold on too!

    I can't beat Air Man!


    When I just realize
    I only had a little bit of life left
    And I used my E Tanks at the same spot...

    But never giving up!
    Finally I have reached Air Man's place
    But I don't have anymore lives left

    If only I have the leaf shield
    Then Air Man would get his ass kicked

    But no matter what!
    No matter what!

    I can't beat Wood Man!

    No matter what
    I can't dodge all those leaves

    And even if I jump back
    He would come over and kick my ass again and again

    I even tried
    rapid fire
    It doesn't work
    When he's moving so goddamn fast

    And so the last thing I can
    Think of right now
    Is to save my E tanks for the final fight with him


    If only, I had item 2
    I would be able to make it to the other side

    But no matter what!
    No matter what...

    I can't beat Air Man!

    No matter what...
    I couldn't dodge all of his tornado attacks

    And even if I got behind
    and shoot him in back
    I would get blown off anyways

    I even rapid fire
    it doesn't work
    everytime he shoot those tornadoes

    And so the last thing I can
    Think of right now
    Is to save my E tanks for the final fight with him...



    AIRMAN CANNOT BE DEFEATED

    I really want to give you some points, B:L, but your fighting style boils down to getting beaten up repeatedly, which, while refreshing, is a bit lacking in the cool department.

    The song uses first person pronouns. And is not surrounded by quotes or anything to implicate that you are not intended to be the song's speaker.

    Perhaps you are not Airman at all?

    Or, perhaps you are fighting a second, stronger, Airman? Perhaps, as Airman, you are unable to beat Woodman?

    Are you a jobber, B:L?

    Are you a jobber?

    So, I've never done this in a Phalla before, but I figure I should have fun with this one.
    EPIC REVEAL

    I am The Obi Wan!

    obi-wan460.jpg

    No, not that Obi Wan.

    I have a pretty limited ability, that I will share with the seer. So I'm needing a seer to seer me and a guard to guard me.

    That is flimsy logic, as long as our seers/guards aren't stupid. You're not stupid, seers/guards are you?

    I'm too awesome to be killed though. My intelligence was directly used to create the ritual our malevolent Frosteey Caligula Forsety Vi Britannica VI, is planning on using. My strength knows no bounds as I've single handily wrestled the worlds greatest fighters to the death with my bare hands. I can run faster then a bullet, and clear and skyscraper in a single leap. Women swoon at me as I pass. I am better then the rest of you mere mortals, and far too useful fighting the evil the defiles our kingdom.

    I shall go with !MrBlarney because we vowed to test this Day 1 victory theory, and also because he voted for me.

    Voting for me even after all we've been through in hosting the last Phalla? :( Maybe he was lying about how fun it was working with me though, maybe I actually put him through hell and this is his revenge. :P

    I know it's pretty early in the game, but MrBlarney I'm watching you. :winky:
