  1. NOTICE: Okay what ever Hurin's or Haterist problem with each other is I don't care. I don't care who started what. I know this isn't the first time you guys clashed. You guy's fighting isn't that interesting. In fact seeing you two clash bores me. Just stay away from eachother. This means don't post on the same topic. Don't make posts that is meant as as insult to the other. I you want to fight do it off the boards. Your God...er Mod has spoken.
  2. In addition to Macross World I also volunteer on www.macrossroleplay.org an online Macross message board RPG. The Administator of that site is thinking of creating other playing squadron. I thought it would be best to conduct a bit of research into what people are actually interested in. For those interested in Roleplaying Macross (or maybe not at) all what universe, era, mecha etc interest you the most? Not asking anyone to join I know some people think RPGs are filled with fanfic facts (I agree) but I'm trying to figure out what aspect of Macross currently invading your day dreams. I'm a big fan of retro Macross TV and DYRL? I love the VF-1S Strike Valkyrie. When I'm bored I can easily street day dreaming about one flying around against hordes of Regults but I have a feeling most would rather day dream being a clone of Isamu then flying around with Roy, Hikaru and Max.
  3. Well in the years just after the Space War One (later half of the series) the provisional government seems to be martial law based in Macross city with Global pretty much acting as a dicator with other military officers advising. The New United Government was already establish during this time but from the anime it clearly looked like Global was in charge. We also see that in this period that the Government was made up of cities not nations and some these cities where leaving the UN to form City-States. In 2014 Global's is installed as United Nations Government representative (anime.net/macross). In 2030 there's a mention of United Nations Government Chair person. We also hear about colonial disputes etc (see Macross Plus). I would think that everything in the post era is about city/colony-states. Most of them are members of the UNG or the UNG created them but a few are not. There is reprensative government but the UNSPACY is in charge of defense and could pretty run the show if they want.
  4. ? Milia isn't chronologically 35 at the start of Macross 7. There is little known evidence one way or the other that says she was 'born' at '16' either. Your suggesting she was 'born' durning Macross TV. This is incorrect. There is plenty of evidence in dialog that suggests she has been alive before the space war one. As why she doesn't look old she's a clone. Have any of them aged? Exedol was old in Macross TV and DYRL? and he's still old.
  5. Ah Match box Robotech Toys or what I like to call my first taste at Robo-crap. I used to case after these things. I made special trips to collect them all. I think I had to return most what I've bought. Those pieces of crap broke the second you took out of the box or were already broken inside the box.
  6. Found something in the Gold Book today. Many of you know that when Roy died and Hikaru went missing Max was moved up to the Skull 001 spot. You also know that when Max went missing Hikaru was moved up to the 001 spot and he got a promotion either just before or after that event from 1 red bar (2nd Lt) to 2 red bars (or 1st Lt) but did you know the Max had a bigger promotion than Hikaru when he was moved to Skull 001? Earlier in the film both Hikaru and Max have 1 red bar (2nd Lt). Hikaru was promoted up one rank. I'd assume Max was just promoted one as well. In the footage you never see Max in his normal day to day uniform after Hikaru's return. I was flipping through my copy of the Gold Book and on page 268 there's a line drawing of Max with 3 red bars (Captain). Both Hikaru and Max got a promotion when they took the position of Skull 001 but it looks like Global decided to give Max a bigger one.
  7. There is no need for introduction topics here. Just find a topic that you like and post.
  8. I think I like every thing but the face. She looks too much like a average white woman whose been treated to the Glamor shots whore make up treatment.
  9. To add: Closed and links to moved topics take up space. It's a mess to enter a forum and see in this order 3 pinned topics, 1 active topic, 2 moved topics, 1 active topic, 3 closed topics and 1 active topic. Not so nice words were edited out before when we saw them. Someone decides to be funny and replace the words. In the first year we had a lot of fun but as we got more people we had to change things, make up rules and all the boring stuff.
  10. The level of Moderation changes with the numbers and content of posts. If everyone is acting cool, we're cool. If everyone isn't acting cool, we're not cool. If some people really acted uncool about a thing then we may not act cool around that thing ever again. The moderators may miss every inappropete link or a complain about one if it is posted in a topic. Don't bother with the report a Mod button. It's been abused too much. Send a PM and be specfic. As for the cosplay topic the rules were layed out, with a few reminders and folks started to push it. Some topics due to their history need to have a Moderator checking it through out the day. If a moderator was unable or unwilling to watch the topic they might kill it. The amount of posts to edit greatly increased. On average I was editing 2 post per visit to that topic which is alot for one topic. Last time I would have had to edit the last two pages. That topic was drawing away too much of our time which we most liking were going to have to use for the Anime Expo posts that would soon be coming up. The topic was allowed under a few conditions and people we so concerned with having fun that started to forget things. Reason why people might not be able to say the "wrong thing" as often is a simple case of abuse. Blame it on those who crossed the line way too often or misunderstood one allowed case of being "naughty" as an excuse of being "naughty" all the time. Blame it on our numbers of members here. The Mods are here because they like Macross and want to read and discuss things about. This is a message board not a chat room or for better terms a play ground. Creating an environment for Discussions of Macross is first on our list. Day care is second. When we start to see that day care is taking too much resources way we pick up a bat and start bashing in baby's head. " Stop fighting you two! Agent One get away from that door knob and pull up your pants! All of you now just sit done and shut up! I'm going to read you a story. You're all then gonna take a nap and I'm going to that bar across that street for a drink."
  11. This is me but I don't know who he is.
  12. www.macrossroleplay.org
  13. I'm sorry but that Roy one is far from perfect. Where's the little hand holding up a bottle of booze?
  14. For the record their Macross II RPG Game isn't meant to be part of their Robotech Game. When their RDF field manual came out no Robotech Book had a OCC for the Fighter pilot.
  15. It's not in the Robotech books.
  16. Tell us, oh wise one, what DID happen to the Megaroad? It became the Miniroad? Hehe. Yeah, you know, that black hole thing. Misa says, "Hey wonder what that is?" and they all die. Seriously now, SOMEBODY PLEASE scan the booklet for the SegaSaturn game so we can bury this beaten, dead horse. I agree. Someone please do that.
  17. I say, if he likes the attention he gets as man-fay, let him do his thing. he's not hurting anyone. What about our eyes?
  18. No you're not the only one but some of those elements just really turned people off. To me I can see why people don't like Basara. In the first few episodes they had him get on the nerves of the other character who then started to hate him. The creators of Macross 7 did a good job at that, a little too good. There a little rule of that you don't have characters in a movie mention how bored they are because that character's feeling might rub off on the audience at some level. The other character's early dislike of Basara might of rubbed off on the audience. Oh By The Way. Hijacking the topic this message. A Little Mod Warning I'm sick and tired of Macross 7 topics turning into a mess. I won't name names but you know who you are and so does everybody else. If anyone post an immature insult about it or flame bait it I'll take their posting rights away for the day.
  19. Legioss that's funny. and Legios's comment is even funnier. I read other some other message boards (non Macross and Robotech ones) often (for years) as well but not as an active poster on them either. I lurk those boards only posting rarely. Does that sound what you sort of like you? See there's a problem with a lurker who reappears out of the blue moon just to set people straight. It looks like they have been lurking all this time just to do that. There is history here of certain posters who are hardly ever an active part of discussions but when ever news information from company x & y come out these posters look for something or someone to straighten out. The rest of the time you rarely see them at all. People mind those that appear or reappear only to attack or defend something. Just so you know - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (paraphrasing) Section IV: Robotech ...If there is discussion (about Robotech) expect to see a more pro Macross stance and even people being critical of Robotech. You will see intelligent comments and stupid ones... ...Please don’t just come here to attack or to defend Robotech. The forums are for the discussion and promotion of Macross. Don’t make attacking or defending Robotech or Harmony Gold as your only reason for being here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bring that foot. I only post when I feel like I have something to contribute or when I think things are out of hand. I've been reading this mb almost every day for 3 years...so I'm active. Just not an active poster. The more people talk, the less they usually know You post 'when things get out of hand'? I take it you're a moderator here to policing the boards? There are others here that make "straighting out things" posts and most members here tolerate them because "straighting out things" post doesn't appear to be their primary motivation to be an active part of things. If "straighting out things" is someones primary motivation to post they should expect the members or administration to tolerate them forever. IFY that warning was actually a clue for others. Now that I'm being dared I guess you really want to make sure that I don't forget about you. You should of read this comments carefully Pay close attention to the first line. On a side note I'm at point where I'm not as easily interested or entertained as was before from the usual debates (insightful ones or not). I really would rather see these debates among members who have been a active part of these messages boards and not those who wait a long time and only start to post again to set people straight. You see some topics and or debates require a moderator's full attention. If a moderator is unable or unwilling watch one they may stop the topic and or debate. I'm not that interested anymore in moderating a debate in which some who are debating appear to have only returned because of the debate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section: VIII State of Emergency ... During a crisis such as the any announcement that would cause a temporary surge in posting the administration may become strict. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel free to blame it on those that posted before you but we all have our limits and I've already hinted that mine was growingt shorter. You want to dare me fine? Here's an offical announcement, I will be very strict in the next couple of weeks on those that appear to be only popping up to attack or defend Robotech (this in relation to the new news, etc). If I catch you (as in anyone) in or at the start of what could be a big debate you better make sure that you've been an active part of the discussions here. If not expect anything to happen. If anyone wants to bitch about how strict they are a MW at other sites. Go ahead tell them. I am sure people will start saying they got kicked out for defending Robotech at MW. I am also sure they'll neglect to say that there are many people left who are still defending that weren't kicked out and they'll neglect to say that they themselves only started to be active again to defend it. Happy 4th of July y'all.
  20. Better get used to that here, pal, if you're gonna stick around for any length of time. Trust me on this. I've been a member for years...I just don't post a lot. (Not to mention, everyone's account got reset). Anyway, like I said, I don't post a lot. Only when the absurdity level has gotten ridiculously high...like now. People are criticizing something they know nothing about. People are just having fun. Making jokes about Robotech always gets a laugh. When HG comes up from a name like Shadow Force its just begging for people to make some cracks at its expense. I think people here know that their comments and or criticisms are sometimes ridiculous. That's part of the fun. No one should honestly take these type of comments seriously. I doubt that the author's of them do. On a side note I'm at point where I'm not as easily interested or entertained as was before from the usual debates (insightful ones or not). I really would rather see these debates among members who have been a active part of these messages boards and not those who wait a long time and only start to post again to set people straight. This is a warning: If I see anymore lurkers returning from the dead to set things straight out any time soon I'm going to straighten my foot out in their ass. This is not saying people can't try to straighten out things. It's saying that these people better not be those who weren't active.
  21. I wondered why she was even in this movie. It seemed like a plotline that was going to go somewhere, but then Raimi decided to drop it. As it stands, she has no point at all. vinnie Throw some make up on her and I wouldn't be surprized if she was a former high fashion model (note I said high fashion not super model). My problem with the character was that she lost the accent a few times. The receptionist I believe was one of Peter's earlier girl friends.
  22. Good question. Judging by those pics it look he might have been making a scene in general which would have drawn the attention of security. If a woman had the same hairy and flabby ass I would want her to wear a coat as well. If it was a firmer, hairless ass (female or male) would it be less offensive? Some people are just dressing up or down for attention/shock value. While it pleases the eye to see a healthy half-naked female body their ittentions are the same as the of the owner of an unhealthy half-naked male body. You could rightfully ask both of them, "Have you no shame?"
  23. BW or Big West: Japanese Producers of Macross TV, Dyrl? and all Macross made in Japan ever since. Kawamori and Studio Nue (considered the creators of Macross) have been linked to most of Big West Macross productions. Tatsunoko: Japanese Producers of Macross TV and looks like Dyrl? They have recently been trying to say that they have right to Macross outside of Japan and it looks that believe there claim includes a whole lot more. Tatsunoko and HG are pals. It's a big battle of ownership. Involving the producers that the creators dealt with and the producers that were brought to help to do the work. Imagine I want you to paint my house. I have enough to pay you but not enough to buy the paint for the job. In exchange we come up with some crazy deal in which you get to use my house to. Later you think you can use my house any weekend you want while I think it applies to only one weekend a year. It's a big mess with a long history. Just to read the pinned topic in the other anime section. ===================================================== I've read about people wanting the RT dubbed cast. If some one wants to dub it again fine but it's Macross not Robotech. Don't confuse people even more by using the RT voices. Unless HG is using a Macross item that is connected to the creators or bigwest I'm not interested in it no matter how offical they say it is. HG can make a Macross offical themed condom but unless Kawamori, his associates or business partners desiged and tested it then it's just a 'name'.
