The Roleplaying Kudos Thread (aka Suck up Thread)

[Itala Marzullo]

Very nice post Tidus, in New Beginning, Two Paths, I honestly don't know what to say, it was simple, to the point yet captured the essence of what I'm trying to do with Dante and co.

I honestly can say I would have posted something very similar if I had done it.

[Tidus Marzullo]

Wahoo! I am almighty lol :P

Well, thank you :) I wasn't sure what to do with his action-wise, so I did very little. And it appears to have worked :D

[Itala Marzullo]

Yeah, the boss at that moment is Radda so it'd be wise to stay still, I was afraid you were going to go nuts and try to give Radda orders or something, but it looks like I have nothing to worry about in Swfans. Hooray.

[Tidus Marzullo]

Heh, I took a wild guess and came to the conclusion that a 17-year-old probably wouldn't be running the show :p

[Itala Marzullo]

Of course, it's obvious but due to past experiences in old boards, I've become traumatized. LIke those tampon commercials say:

"I feel free."

Hehe, looks like Lucius didn't want to stay behind either.

[Itala Marzullo]

Nice posts Alexander although shorter than I like, as long as they're good and to the point; length doesn't matter I suppose.

Nice post to myself as Marcus, I Kicked Dante's butt!

[Alexia Marzullo]

I don't think you can give kudos to yourself... there must be some kind of rule against that... I mean... come on...

:lol Jules you crack me up...

[Selene Marzullo]

I have a feeling that since he started the thread he creates the rules...and you've seen what goes when that happens...

[Itala Marzullo]

The best post so far, Laura. Zip.

[Matthias Marzullo]

The best post so far, Laura. Zip.

I totally agree. That was a great post!

[Itala Marzullo]

You know you didn't read it. :twak

[Matthias Marzullo]

I've read all the post on the second page... LOL! I only skimmed through the first. I was trying to figure out who was who at that point. :p

[Selene Marzullo]

The best post so far, Laura. Zip.

Thanks!

You have to take some of the credit though Jules. I did bug you incessantly with questions about the character which definitely helped flesh her out a bit. So thank you for helping me. ^_~

[Itala Marzullo]

I've read all the post on the second page... LOL! I only skimmed through the first. I was trying to figure out who was who at that point. :p

Hmm, but do you get the idea of what's happening?

[Matthias Marzullo]

Probably get it better if I finished reading everything. LOL! However, I am read post though so don't accuse me of not... :p

[Selene Marzullo]

Awesome Lana post! I really enjoyed it and you have much better understanding of the character after reading it which is the way it should be. Thank you!

[Alexia Marzullo]

I agree.. both posts were great guys!

[Itala Marzullo]

I like to give away bits and pieces as posts go by, nit my style to give it all in one post, same thing is used for movies.

[Alexia Marzullo]

I like that style... if you give away everything in one post... then what's the point? Though, giving away a lot for a back story is very helpful to those who are in the dark and/or confused...

[tabris27]

Well I suppose I found it very helpful since she's supposed to be Selene's mother and I knew almost nothing about her or the dad. It was nice to have it all laid out for me. And just because she gave an overview of the background doesn't mean she can't go back and explore it more throughly or take from what happened after. Once you have the basics down you can start getting more specific, flashes of specific outings or parties that might have had an affect, clothes or objects that remind her of their time together etc. It's then that it starts getting really interesting.

For now we know roughly where she's coming from which is helpful when multiple characters are being introduced and you're not sure what's what. There's still loads of room for development and explanations.

[Lana Marzullo]

Thanks :) And yes, there's plenty of backstory that hasn't been covered ;)

[Ares Marzullo]

Kudos to me for the Lars post, he's so wicked. ;)

[Alexia Marzullo]

Kudos to me for my post with Alexia - The Effects of War...









I don't know how you do it... I feel so silly yaying myself...:\

[Itala Marzullo]

Bah, you stole my idea!

[Matthias Marzullo]

Kudos to me for posting twice with Matthias so far. It has to be a record.

Oh and kudos to Jules for doing a lot of reposting lately.

Kudos to me for posting again... w00t, it's a longer post this time.

[Itala Marzullo]

Yeah, Cassie and I went crazy on that one.

[Matthias Marzullo]

Well I guess I have to give her props too. Kudos to you Cassie!!! :D

[Itala Marzullo]

When we are done reposting, you guys are free to post there too.

[Matthias Marzullo]

That's kewl. I set it up in my first post in NP that Matthias family was at the resort. I'm pretty sure I will be able to add to it... don't quote me on it though. :D

[Itala Marzullo]

That's kewl. I set it up in my first post in NP that Matthias family was at the resort. I'm pretty sure I will be able to add to it... don't quote me on it though. :D

It's alright, don't expect you or Mike to.

[Matthias Marzullo]

I will tell you I have a better chance then him. :D If you want anything from Matthias just let me know and I will gladly add to it.

[Tiranna Marzullo]

Sounds cool then, don't disappoint me, man!

[Matthias Marzullo]

Have I ever? Wait... maybe you shouldn't answer that one... :lol

[Dante Marzullo]

You're wiser than I thought.

[Matthias Marzullo]

*pats himself on the back* Go me... wait... are you making fun of me? :'(

[Itala Marzullo]

Do i ever NOT make fun of you? ;)

[Matthias Marzullo]

Where's Laura at? I need her to help me pick on you. :lol

[Itala Marzullo]

Laura can't save you this time.

'shoots lightning at you'

[Alexia Marzullo]

Hey! Be nice to my man! I don't want him all charred (sp?) and stuff...
Gah... just make sure he isn't too crispy

[Itala Marzullo]

You know your mom wants Walter BBQ.

[Matthias Marzullo]

Ah! You crazy fool!!!

[Alexia Marzullo]

She probably did at one point... but not now... but it took her forever to get used to the idea that he would be around for good... even when we moved in together she was still fighting it... my mom is something else

[Matthias Marzullo]

Gotta love those rose colored glasses.

[Itala Marzullo]

Tell her he's the Hanson drummer, she'll just fall in love with him!

[Itala Marzullo]

Wow, awesome post Hart, though the escape pods are custom made.

[Hartus Kenobi]

K, made some tiny adjustments to the post regarding the pods. I'm just annoyed that the borders to the gif I made isn't being transparent for some reason.

[Erik Centter]

I wish I was good at PS, I should watch the lesson thingies.

[Karl Valten]

When I started, I just went through a bunch of tutorials for those cheezy special effects and just started playing around. Just google for them. It actually really helps you get an idea for how the filters work and you can combine them with brushing to get some really cool effects.

What you should work on depends on what you're using photoshop for, but for starting out, I highly suggest mastering these steps:

1. Layers and blending options
2. Masking
3. Channels (I admit that I don't know much about working with channels, I prefer layers)


Learning those basic three will help make things a lot easier.

[Hartus Kenobi]

I wish I was good at PS, I should watch the lesson thingies.
Just threw those together. Wait until you see Hartus in action ;).

This is me with my deflector shield up in Coruscant. Reverse-engineered a destroyer droid to get it. But only stops energy blasts. Organic matter and metal can pass through.

[Alexia Marzullo]

Yay to me for posting in Path to Infamy... and yay to me for actually, finally reading it...;) :D

[Dante Marzullo]

They have McDonals in Coruscant? :D

[tabris27]

Ooooooo I like Eriks avatar.

Online tutorials were the way I started out with photoshop. There's a really nifty planet tutorial out there which is fun to do.

lmao @ McDonalds
