Hey people,
I just wanted to stick my head in the door (the rest of me is still in the Shadow Academy) and say hi.
Once my test comes back I'm gonna be transferring here to this... Arcona-thing you all love.
Hope to enjoy working with you!

There's another new one, my sister in real life. Lol, how do I distinguish between them? I wanted to know, how do I transfer them, the new guys I mean, into my BT?

Hey y'all,
This is ACO Devani, I'm Revaan's big sis in real life. I just transferred in from Clan Plagueis, I'm excited to be here. Just thought I would introduce myself!

New meat for Tuskani. Tuskani likes.

Where'd that come from, Tuskani? Does anybody know how to get her in my BT? Or does admin. do it?
Ark Dowell
05-10-2005 13:49:59
Revaan, you QUA and AED have the power to place her in the BT. And welcome, Devani!
Devani
05-10-2005 14:07:02
Thanks, I'm excited to be here. Partly because of my brother, even though he's well Revaan, he is a really funny and great guy, albeit a little too much like me sometimes! Anyway, can anyone tell me a little more about Clan Arcona? When I first joined the DB I was in Clan Exar Kun and then I was suddenly in Clan Plagueis and it was a little crazy. I was thinking about switching clans for awhile but my QUA was really awesome, he retired and so I switched to Arcona. I dont' know much about it though, anyone care to enlighten me? Thanks, ACO Devani

Thanks, Hito. I agree with Ceric and the Herald on this one. Go to the Arcona web site and it gives you some background.

Like you, I presume? (All 3 I'm sure!)

I love Thai food, the best restaurant is Indochine in Tacoma, WA!!!
Mmmm...fresh spring rolls, mango fried rice, gang curry, carmelized noodles, coconut smoothies, I miss that place!

Stop it! STOP IT! I haven't eaten dinner yet!!
Ooooh, and did I tell you I absolutely love, LOVE, LOVE Olive Garden. The salad, the breadsticks, and chicken fetuccine alfredo pasta. Got to have a blackberry italian soda along with it. MMMmmmm....I'm hungry! >:)
Ceric Crimson
06-10-2005 21:22:12
I'm not so big on Italian food. Mabey because I've never been there. Thailand though....
Devani
06-10-2005 22:22:09
Good food, is good food! And the Italians know how to make food but Thai is my favorite, hands down.
Kaelin Ring
07-10-2005 12:50:49
When did this turn into food talk?
Devani
07-10-2005 13:38:27
When...um...well we were...I dunno? But who doesn't want to talk about food? Mmmm mmm good! I was trying to "introduce" Thai food as the best kind of food ever!

07-10-2005 15:37:27
And I'm introducing the idea of HELL NO!!!

I have to concure with Ark on this one.

No, I was inroducing the fact that Chinese food is the best. That or Mexican food.

I just have to disagree...
Kaelin Ring
09-10-2005 17:21:18
You would! *points* She's the weird one of the family!
Devani
10-10-2005 02:34:58
Thanks bro, I love you too! You don't know what your missing in Thai food.
Ceric Crimson
10-10-2005 13:46:11
Yeah...sorry Rev. Thai is best. Your probably oblivious to this because of the fact that you never tasted an authentic Thai food, prepaired by an expert chef.
*sobs*
so sad..
Kaelin Ring
10-10-2005 17:35:09
Could be, but I think curry smells funny...
Devani
10-10-2005 20:30:01
Yeah, maybe Indian Curry, not Thai curry, its soooo yummy!
Kaelin Ring
10-10-2005 21:27:57
Still smells weird...

Naw, I'll stick with Chinese for now. Maybe in a year or two.

Pretty much and a d*ck to boot! But ya gotta respect him! Even with all of his faults he gets more girls than Devani and Ceric and I put together... now if I just apllied myself...
Devani
17-10-2005 00:38:20
Excuse me? I have NOOOOO girls, lets have that straight, I'm appalled you would include me in your list! anyway...enough about above subject...how about them yankees?

I feel like introducing Sir Lancelot, my little "knight"! He's not sooo little though. Above average, really.
Ceric Crimson
17-10-2005 16:30:38
...I am sorry Revaan, but I do not take kinedly to being compared to an American (foot ball player is it?) in the amount of booty that I get. First off, if this Mike is such a cock sucking son off a beach, then this is why he gets girls: Because GIRLS like bad asses, pigs, swines, dicks...and then they become women and realize...no...no more A$$ holes for muah. Now, women...women like men in power. Men in power are confident men. And women like that. An old proverb explaines it quite nicely: "The man is the head, yes, but the woman is the neck." That is why, kind sir, I will always be the hottest thing out there.
Good Day.
Kaelin Ring
18-10-2005 00:53:21
Nice!! No wonder I don't get as many rejects as him. Actually, he's a drama student, no jock. He just loves to piss people off and he's not really a badas$. He kinda looks like a chipmunk. I was kidding. I'm sure you get many women. Lol. But you shall never be as hott as me.
Ceric Crimson

Hey now! Watch yourself...
Ceric Crimson
20-10-2005 17:52:05

Come now M'Lady, surely there is no need for violence...unless of course its with a saber... *passes Devani saber under the table*
Devani

I'm a Dark Jedi, of course I crave violence :whistling: but are you good enough for the saber? I don't know...
Kaelin Ring
28-10-2005 00:19:24
Saber's are for the weak. Use your bare hands.
Devani
28-10-2005 01:23:15
Mmmm...have you ever played Soul Calibur? The character Ivy uses the sword I would love to have: The Snake Sword, it rocks, thats what I would use!
Kaelin Ring
30-10-2005 12:33:39
Weak!! More like Nightmare's blade!!! Or Talim. Hey Peeps!!!
Devani
30-10-2005 15:46:55
I just like the way it unfurls like a whip/sword.
Ark Dowell
30-10-2005 19:14:40
Y'know what? I think I shoulda been a character in Soul Caliber.
Ceric Crimson
30-10-2005 22:15:17
Nightmare all the way!
But when I said saber, I meant the actually metal kind. They are so...refined, and aristocratic. It takes skill to use them properly, so no, they're not weak.
Kaelin Ring
01-11-2005 21:34:13
One-thousand!!! Woot!!! Yes, I know saber's take a llittle bit of skill but they don't take as much finesse as other weapons such as the Katana.
Ceric Crimson
02-11-2005 08:11:56
Congrats!
I would say katanas take more skill then finesse, but...
Kaelin Ring
03-11-2005 21:11:14
Fine then... RAPIER!!!
Ceric Crimson
05-11-2005 23:47:28
Aha! Now your thinking!! I LOVE the Rapier, its so...in between skill and finesse...perfect balance...mmm...I love my weapons, what can I say?
Don't even get me started on projectile weaponry!
Kaelin Ring
06-11-2005 14:29:25
Those are barbarically evil, and unsophisticated... I think that's one of the few things I agree with Obi-one on.
Ceric Crimson
14-11-2005 16:19:01
Every weapon style has an adiquite use. Never think otherways...thats why the samurai lost their freedom...why the natives of your country lost to you...and why that one guy in Indiana Jones with the cool sword got himself a bullet through the heart. Heed this lesson well...
Kaelin Ring
18-11-2005 15:35:19
The Indians lost this country for two reasons.
1) They were ill equiped and behind the times... being away from the civilized world and all.
2) They didn't have the sense to fight back before they realized there were too many to fight.
Ceric Crimson
30-11-2005 17:12:34
1. No offense, but that was very ignorant of you.
2. They were well equipted enough to survive in their own world, against things that they knew how to fight.
3. If a "civilized world" commits genocide then it is clearly not a civilization that I would want any part in.
4. Some clans didn't fight back b/c they were pacifistic, something that was waaay ahead of their time. And something that the 'civilized world' could have learned a thing or two about. Not to mention their deep connection with nature.
5. I could go on and explain how 'civilized' the conquestadores were, breaking treaties and all, but why bother.
Kaelin Ring
02-12-2005 13:12:37
BY CIVILIZED I MEANT WHAT THEY BELIEVED TO BE CIVILIZED. I meant modern.
I recognize that some were pacifist but I was speaking in general.
They were NOT equiped well enough to fight the new enemy that had appeared on their shores.
I recognize the fact that the conquistadores raped, pilaged, burned and other such things, but some of the immigrants that came over here to settle, yea most, were not here to kill. They were here for religious freedom and because of the fact that Britain was overcrowded.
What are you trying to suggest about me?
Ceric Crimson
02-12-2005 16:25:16
What I meant to show by stating the facts that I did was simply that the Native Americans were out-matched and relatively defensless against the cruelty of european culture in that time and era, and I only did that, because you made it sound like it was the Native Americans' fault for dying.
And as a side note; the conquistadores murdered and pillaged and raped all in the name of 'god'. Because they regarded the 'Indians' as a barbaric and (as you said) 'uncivilized' bunch of savages.
In my humble opinion, they were plenty civilized in their own right and far more understanding of the way the world worked (in some respects) then the "modern" colonists that so eagerly found an excuse to murder in the name of a corrupt church.
(corrupt Roman Catholic church of the era, I mean. By no means do I wish to offend anyone that is Catholic, I'm merly stating historical fact.)
(Oh, and I by no means said, or meant to say that all, or even half the people that came over from Europe were the blood thirsty murderers that commited the act of genocide...though Columbus was definatly not among the happy-get-along-with-the-savages kind of guy)
Kaelin Ring
04-12-2005 22:30:49
Oh, and I agree totally. I just... nm. You're right. I understated the facts and humbly appologize.
Ceric Crimson
05-12-2005 14:41:42
I didn't mean to come off as an arse(as they say in England). Sorry for getting on yours, Rev. I just have a passion for correctivness(if thats a word) in history.
PEACE!!!
Kaelin Ring
06-12-2005 11:49:49
It's cool, I'm nearly the same way. I just haven't studied the Native Americans very thoroughly. I would rather study the good old days when it took some skill to kill your enemies.

You must be blind.... We have been, if not stoping, limiting ourselves and where we post. Open your eyes, and look around the boards.
