Greetings Earthlings!

[Josh (J)]

*socks Gumrad* Let me be!

[warren_bearclaw]

Then I get mauled. Heal, then go after him with a .308. Tan his hide, roast his meat, and turn his claws into a necklace for my wife.

Will post pics of next bear hunt. 

... Ah, but you are forgetting several crucial pieces of information, which you may actually have not known about...

1) Shock has recently exercised his right to arm bears, leaving me with several semi- and full- auto weapons of my own. Granted, I can't manage to load the magazines by myself... it really requires that you have thumbs... but I can sure as heck shoot them. And lobbing a grenade is even easier.

2) I have in my possession a very valuable and very useful "Endangered Species Identification Card". *shows card* I'm not exactly sure how this works, but when I hold it up like this and wave it around a little, the EPA and other government officials immediately come to my aid. They have more guns.

3) I am a Texan. No further explanation needed.

4) Due to certain unique circumstances throughout my life, I have come to have a very interesting relationship with lightning. While I may not be fully electrokinetic, I do have some influence over that. I have been able to successfully use that ability in battle and win. The victims don't often fully recover. Or live.

5) Also, while I don't like to talk about this part of my life too much... the carnie's owe me one. With just one phone call, I can have a small army of angry clowns and acrobats and ... that bearded lady....

6) And less you think that you could catch me sometime while alone, let me assure you, it doesn't happen often. My home is fully bugged with high-quality microphones and cameras, typically used for leisurely RAFstalking, but which can very easily be used for an alert and surveillance system.

So, let me ask you know... you sure you want to do that?

[Nar Klawip]

Bear, I should let you know you also have a very dangerous(though reformed and now pacifist) Howler on your side.

So, let me ask you know... you sure you want to do that?

1.) Right to arm bears yes ... but how good is your aim?

2.) The endangered species card doesn't scare me.

3.) Texan? I laugh. I'm a Nevadian. We eat Texans at the Casinos.

4.) Electricity is fun. All I have to do is carry a ground rod, and I'm not all that worried about your lightening.

5.) I will give you that one about the circus folk. I'm not scared of clowns, but that bearded women sure does give me the chilly willies.

6.) There is a 'fair game' policy when it comes to hunting. Not fair for me to enter your home and get you. It's more game to follow you and take you down.

So in response, it would be a fun sport to do this.

So in response, it would be a fun sport to do this.

1) It's pretty decent. I'm the best sharp-shooter I know. Well, as far as other bears go... But that, combined with the standard American approach of shooting as much as you can in a short period of time gives me pretty good odds.

2) Well duh, the card itself isn't scary... it's laminated card stock. But these people get pretty fierce defending us endangered species. And you DON"T want to know what happens after they call in PETA.

3) Casinos? Really? You've obviously met some very lame Texans. They must live too close to the Oklahoma border or something. I'm talking native Texan. The sheer Awesomeness of Texas will protect me. It's like the Blessing of Ares or something....

4) Y'know, I'm not sure if a grounding rod would help you or not... This Lightening doesn't seem to follow the normal laws of physics. I mean, come on, how many times have you seen a bear be zapped from one place to another by a freak lightening storm? It might work... maybe.

5) Yeah, she's kinda creepy. That's a good part of the reason why I left.

6) Yes, but do also remember there are legal ramifications for a bear such as myself defending itself against a hunter. Maybe for most bears, but I know people in the legal arena.

Alrighty then, let the games begin. Bring it on.

[Nar Klawip]

Shouldn't we be selling tickets?

[warren_bearclaw]

Sure. I think that me and Lorem should get a cut of the profits though....

[Phoenix004]

You guys all sound awesome! Unfortunately, there is no sanity to be donated to this forum: it never existed in the first place!!!

In that case you'll fit in well here!

[Josh (J)]

Whee! Tickets! 1/4 for me, 1/4 for Gumrad, and 1/2 for whoever wins!

*starts selling*

[Mythgirl]

Can I have a ticket, J? This sounds exciting.

[.: Asmo]

Just purchased a 55# recurve. Just need to wait for it to come in, and it's game on.

[Terenia]

Uh.... *skirts around the bear hunting conversation*

Hi Pokey! I'm Terenia, although I also answer to Teach and T and occasionally even Jessi (ah! A real name!). I hope you enjoy your time here. As Myitt mentioned, we have a quite active role-playing board (two actually, one that is for Animorphs and one that is General). Out of all the rps our most popular is the Galaxy's Edge Space Bar, which you will find me at frequently. If you enjoy forum-style rps and lots of character development (and mean, mute bartenders) then I highly recommend you take a peek! Just make sure you read the first post of the OOC thread before joining. Here are the pertinent links:

Galaxy's Edge Space Bar
GESB: OOC Discussion

Don't be scared off by the near-thousand pages. The GESB is the type of roleplay that you can jump into at any time.

Let me know if you need anything, rp or non-rp related! Welcome to RAF!

*runs out, once again skirting around the bear conversation*

[KitsuneMarie]

Hi Pokey! I love your intro thread, and I like you already! I'm Marie -- welcome!

I hope you make yourself at home on RAF, and I look forward to seeing you around the forum! As Myitt and Terenia said, it'd be great to have you in the GESB if you're interested. It's where I spend most of my time on RAF. See ya 'round!

[estrid]

hey you have the same major as me! cool. AND Tobias was/still is my fave animorph too!

I am working on applying for a masters in biology, i want to work with the big cats. they are my second fave grp of animals after whales. Birds are super awesome too, but their predators are cooler

1) How do you see to aim?  Don’t Bears have terrible eyesight?  And how do you pull the pins on those grenades?
2) That only matters *after* he kills you.
3) …So?
4)  I think the grounding rod would work.
5) [spoiler]  [/spoiler]
6) What’s this “fair” stuff?

I’m selling PPV tickets to this.  I’m taking Bear’s pelt if he loses.  If Ipsum loses…I guess those sunglasses would be ok.

Welcome to RAF, Lauren.
