NytefallI'm working on the OOC.
I would be further done with it, but guess who had to work until 2 AM, then come back in for a 9-3 shift?
This guy,
on his supposedly day off.
Yeah, screw that sort of work.
You're a gigolo right?

Well, I believe we changed to a shorter posting time, and Vordak is somewhat overdue.
Frankly I can't be assed to nag people anymore, if GM's can't be bothered to sort out their own threads let 'em die, this tournament should have just been scrapped after the first round shambles.

Why do I have a feeling when he responds he'll say something like, "Ya, I just got back.."
I really don't know. I'm more curious as to why Rilla hasn't just kicked him out for missing the deadline twice.
@Willy Vereb When I say it's your turn I mean immediately, you're already four days overdue.

Americans are commonly stereotyped as gun loving, but I guess stereotypes don't allways translate into characters.
Perhaps things are racist or not depending on how reasonably accurate it is? Having a roman character running around everywhere in a toga would likely be considered racist but if they go into battle with a Gladius then that could be considered reasonable. But someone of a different race (doing this in real life) realistically and respectfully portraying a black person would still likely be considered racists.
Are you certain you're using the word correctly? A racist is someone who discriminates based off someone's race. Reinforcing negative stereotypes can be an example of this, but that's not really what's happening in any of those examples.
I wonder if a modern day american with a gun would also be considered a stereotype...
Probably, give them a cow-boy hat and definitely.
The one thing the Japanese overlooked, shields.
Still have no idea why.
Well, I have some idea why, but I'm still not wholly convinced.

Damn the Japanese and their Apache Bow making! I heard they fire arrows shaped like Katanas!
I'm not really seeing anything supporting the whole 'Apache bow better than Mongol' assertion, other than a test on Deadliest Warrior which is hardly conclusive. Their comparative ranges for example puts the Mongol Bow at half again superior.
Too stereotypical for a native american-like character to be my archer? Then again, Japanese people are still running around with katanas.
It would be more stereotypical to be running around with a tomahawk or club variant, the majority of 'Native Americans' in the conventional sense used the bow and arrow before and for a while during colonization.
Though the Aztecs were more fond of the Sling, and only Jungle Incas used the bow and arrow. So it really depends on what tribe your character was from. The bow really isn't a cultural weapon, it was a solution to a problem which a wide number of different civilisations discovered and mastered at different times. I don't think there was anything particularly unique or special about First Nation's bows either, unlike the Middle Eastern variety or even the British Longbow.
