How's everyone doing? Santiago Gabriel Mayaud Maisonneuve Artusi is the name, santiO's the nickname, and Geek King is the title. I'm currently running for "Furthest located member of the Congress of Awesome", since I'm typing this from the beautiful city of Buenos Aires, in the also beautiful country of Argentina (Or the Argentine Republic, whatever rocks your boat).
I'm somewhat of a renaissance man. I love videogames, comic books (Lobo, Ghost Rider and Judge Dredd are some of my favourites. Notice a certain pattern regarding motorcycles?), graphic novels (Hellblazer, Sandman, Sin City, etc.), science-fiction (Star Trek, Star Wars, a bit of Stargate, and a LOT of Ray Bradbury), B-movies (Long live Bruce Campbell!), action movies (And Bruce Willis!), martial arts movies (And Bruce Lee! Wait, Bruce Lee wasn't the dead one?), TV, books (From Dante Alighieri to Mario Puzo), all sorts of music (Jazz, Blues, Soul, Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Classical, Hip-Hop... starting to sound like the Blues Brothers here), Warhammer 40000, and a helluva of other things.
Oh, oh, and I have a question! What is this "Rep" thingie? What is it good for? Can I trade it for a replica of the Beretta 93R used in Robocop, or a girlfriend who respects and appreciates my vast knowledge of facts and details with little to none practical use? Either way is fine for me.

"Rep" tracks your reputation on the site. If you do something incredibly fucking awesome, users will respect you and increase your rep. If you do something shitfaced stupid, they'll taunt you and deduct a point from your reputation.

Honestly, it's a completely arbitrary number counter which may not always reflect the user's actual respect from members or accurately represent their awesome contributions to the site. It's just an extra little thing to display over there near your avatar.

And what are "Hueys", besides a Vietnam War Era transport/gunship helicopter made by Bell and featured in almost every Vietnam movie to date, particularly Apocalypse Now?

They are a form of "Currency" here, basically, you save hueys and buy things with them in the shop! We all have lots of hangers for our hueys, you can see who has the most hanger space in the shop too! Buy hentai games and other things with your hueys! HUEYS!!!

I'm glad you cleared that up. For as long as I've been here I never knew what that was. Thanks.

So I got like 110.000 Hueys, huh?...........................................................................................................
(The Ride of the Valkyries starts playing on the background)
MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! IT'S TIME TO CONQUER BUENOS AIRES!!!
Oh, wait... I got no one to pilot the damn things... Can I buy some pilots with my Hueys?

Ellendesu · « **Reply #267 on:** February 07, 2007, 09:06:49 pm »

Hmm, I dunno, maybe we should add that option. lol

Cashino · « **Reply #268 on:** February 08, 2007, 12:24:39 am »

For some reason, that just doesn't sound right.

You sell helis for pilots to fly said helis...

It's like the "Yo mama so stupid, she sold her car for gas money" joke.

bfg00 · « **Reply #269 on:** February 08, 2007, 05:02:39 pm »

Supply and Demand. There are more Hueys than pilots, so to hire them you need to sell the Hueys because the pilots ask for alot of money.

santiO · « **Reply #270 on:** February 09, 2007, 06:52:58 pm »

No, I don't sell ALL of my Hueys to hire the pilots. I sell about 50% of them, and with the money hire the pilots. I'm stupid, but not THAT stupid.

lol I know, just saying it sounds weird

Muhznit · « **Reply #272 on:** February 10, 2007, 01:46:48 am »

Hm. It seems that I've not introduced myself. <¯< Meh. *Deep Breath*
----General-----
Name: Muhznit
Age: "M", as he says.
Gender: Male
Race: Light-skinned African American
Appearence: Charcoal-Gray Jeans with a dark Red hooded Shirt.

Strengths: Wisdom.

Weaknesses: Squishy, loses focus around Mushrooms

-----Combat-----
Weapon: A claw-like object is wrapped around his right hand. It's as hard as titanium, but it weighs as much as a glove. It's a piece of magitechnology he made once that is capable of changing forms between a claw, a glove, and a PDA.

Magic Spells:
[Battle: Only used in battle]
•Super Teleport: An advanced teleport skill. Nearly no delay between uses.
•Animation: Can bring non-living things to life, having them hop towards the enemy and attack.
•Super Animation: Forms a golem out of non-living things to attack the enemy. Stability relies on Muhznit's remaining health.
•Lightning: A basic Lightning bolt.
•Thunder Blast: A medium orb of lightning that makes an electric explosion upon contact. Decent Range.
•Mana Pulse: A ball of Red-white Energy that does medium damage. Nothing's weak to it, though.
•Mana Flash: Many Red-white Energy Balls shot at once.
•Hyper Mana Flash: A red spell circle appears underneath the enemies and countless Mana Pulses hit enemies upward while an equal amount of Lightning spells send them back downward. Does MASSIVE damage in a large area, consumes a Magic Rock, and can only be used once per battle or every 10 minutes (whichever's shorter).

[Field: Non-battle]
•Animation: Non-living things move to create new pathways/remove obstacles. Can be used as a first strike.

-----Notes----
So I introduce myself as if I'm a RPG character or something. What of it?
