I have three editions of the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms too. It isn't an easy read. I bet. I've never played those games but I've seen gameplay and it's right up my alley. I dig them a lot. I always make a point to get any game they release here in either series. They have a lot in the series that have only been released in Japan.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Nobunaga's Ambition are fun games if you have a Playstation. They the only two game series that KOEI makes these days I like. OMG I have three editions of the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms too. It isn't an easy read.

I think the only game i have more than 100 hours on on steam is Fire Pro, Love the Fire Promoter mode on that game, Also been playing Elite Dangerous a lot recently Shadow Man is my most played game on Steam, probably my favorite game of all-time. Kyzer, I'm assuming you're a fan of Total War? I was, until I got into these grand strategy games that Paradox makes and I haven't played anything in the series since. I did like the games I have played though.

I’ve got Imperator but I’ve not really touched it since release because of FM and a run of on sale Cold War games. I couldn't remember the name of it. I have read all the diaries on it so it definitely has me intrigued. I haven't bought it yet because I just bought the last expansion for Stellaris so I have been checking that out.

I have not played that one. They just put out a game based on ancient Rome which I think I might get here soon. I'm behind on that since I don't have access to a computer all the time so me investing in PC games isn't necessary right now.

If you really want to try a strategy game, check out anything that Paradox puts out. They are the most immersive and complex strategy games out there but they are so good. And they have games covering all eras in history and games covering sci-fi and fantasy. I'm aware of them. They made Magicka, one of the best games ever! **published, not developed. I have not played that one. They just put out a game based on ancient Rome which I think I might get here soon.

I’m with you on Paradox, but Vic 2 and the HOI series are quite a way ahead of CK2 and EU4 in my hours played. Of course nothing tops Football Manager. I liked Vic 2 and probably play it more if I liked that era of history more. HOI is the only game they made I didn't really get into. I have Football Manager and have played it like 30 hours or so. I like it. I don't know why I haven't played it more truthfully.

So on steam, I have two games that I have played for over 3,000 hours Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings II. The next closest game has a 175 hours invested in it and that is Stellaris which is another strategy game. Strategy games are pretty much the only video games that can keep my interest these days. And apparently only ones made by Paradox. I love strategy games as well, even though I suck at them. Command and Conquer 3 is one of my favorite strategy games of all time. Or The Stronghold series or Commando. If you really want to try a strategy game, check out anything that Paradox puts out. They are the most immersive and complex strategy games out there but they are so good. And they have games covering all eras in history and games covering sci-fi and fantasy.

Because of the Nintendo or the love of history and strategy games? All three. So on steam, I have two games that I have played for over 3,000 hours Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings II.

Michael Kyzer - has always been Stephen Dorff. I dug the way he looked back then (around Blade) and when I pictured Kyzer talking it was easy to picture him as Dorff. Tugarin Zmey - has always been masked Mick Thompson. I always wanted to do a character from Mongolia. I am a big history guy and have read almost every book out there about Genghis Khan (I have over 30 books about the guy). I was inspired to use Mick after I was in another fed with a guy who used him as the picbase for his character. I have other characters I have used here but only Drakz and Deep Figure Value are aware of the characters being me so I would like to keep it that way. My very first character I used here back in 2003 used Trent Acid as the picbase. Trent Acid will always been one of my favorite wrestlers and one of the absolute coolest guys I have ever met. Got the chance to hang out with him a few times before he passed. I have been toying around with the idea of bringing the character back on board and just switch between him and Zmey like I did with Kyzer and Zmey. You've piqued my interest. Any time someone says they're a history buff I get all giddy considering I'm a history professor. Gonna go out on a limb and say pre-modern East Asia is your thing based on the Khan liking? It kind of makes sense now though, knowing you're a buff. Your writing style. Like Brennan, you've got your own style that can't really be copied or even imitated. You're writing all of this dark, modern, despot type ish, but it reads like a historical fiction piece, a genre unto itself, but written in present time. Maybe it's just me, in my own head imagining that, but that's the missing connection I've never quite put a finger on. Not that me not being able to pinpoint what your style reminded me of ever influenced my opinion on the great content, but it just makes sense in my own head now. Pretty much all history. I have books on Ancient Rome and Egypt to books on the Hasburgs, Romanovs and the birth of Prussia. Genghis Khan has just been my favorite historical figure since I was a kid and got an original Nintendo with the game Genghis Khan. It sparked my love of history and strategy games.

I got sliced. I am consulting with a plastic surgeon next week I believe to have that scar removed. I have enough scars and I know the plastic surgeon so it isn't going to break the bank to get it removed. Ah. I guess it helps to know the doctor then. But surely he wouldn't even do anything but a pre-op look till you're fully healed eh? Took about two weeks before they took out my stitches, and another two for the swelling to die down. Moreover though, just glad you're ok man. They at least give you the "good stuff" as King Richius calls it for post-op pain for at least the first couple of days? He is married to a roommate I had in college so if I have a suggestion to anyone in college and that is find some sorority girls to move into a house with you. I have a hook up on a plastic surgeon, a dentist, a lawyer and a boat salesman. Yeah he wants to see how it is healing before he decides when to proceed. He wants to see how good this particular surgeon did on everything.

Also, this may be too personal so if you don't wanna answer that's OK Kyzer. Was your surgery laproscopic or did they have to slice and dice you since it'd been ruptured? I had to get sliced and diced, but I've had hernias removed laproscopicly. I got my scar from my appendix covered with a tat because they really did a number on me getting everything. But you've mentioned a beach house or something of the sort before so I wasn't sure if you got diced if you'd get it covered like I did or if you're gonna wear it like a badge of honor at said beach. XD I got sliced. I am consulting with a plastic surgeon next week I believe to have that scar removed. I have enough scars and I know the plastic surgeon so it isn't going to break the bank to get it removed.

I think he saw my screen name on a forum somewhere and hit me up. I was doing the e-fed thing for a few years before I got to the WFWF. Kyzer wasn't even my first character here. I joined up when it was some combination of Destroyer, Total Apocalypse and Rupert Jee running this place. Didn't have a great experience and left for a few years then came back after I saw it was Flaps and Zmaster in charge. Then just decided to stick it out through the Flaps dictatorship because I liked the people around a lot more that go around. Plus it was amusing picking fights with Shane O'Riley, Immune, Eric Hardcastle, and Justa Mazing. I've somewhat recently discovered Immune and Kronic are related. Fun fact of the day. Also, with Destroyer back, can't wait to see you two go at it. Immune, Kronic and Meg are all from the same town and went to the same school in Ohio or Indiana I believe.

Yeah I didn't discover this place because of wrestling figures. I only found about here because Alex Sean kept harassing me over AIM back in the day to come and check it out. Fair. Where'd he find you at then? Scouring for talent in other feds and came across you? I think he saw my screen name on a forum somewhere and hit me up.

Hell, man. I figured that, of the four RPs currently MIA, you above all would have a damn good reason for not showing. I'll tell you right off the bat - don't go breaking yourself in half getting anything out on account of my having written the match. I had it done two days into the writing period and it was largely done to fill a creative void in my life. The least of my worries is going to be having written a match up in the air on account of one of the participants dealing with a forcibly ruptured appendix. Jesus. Just typing that out hurt. Rest up. Post when/if you can. It's not like Nitta showed and stole an upset off of you, anyway. Be well, guy. It was a freak one in a million chance that I got hit just right with an elbow that it caused that. The surgeon told me of a few other similar situations. But I guess my appendix was on the way to rupturing anyways. I am just glad that someone else was there to call the ambulance because when I went down, I couldn't even talk I was in so much pain. Now I am just sore. The stitches really itch which is driving me crazy.

So Tuesday night during a game of pickup basketball, I caught an elbow and my appendix bust. The ER doctor said it was about to rupture and the trauma from the elbow caused it to happen sooner rather than later. I have never felt so much pain in my life. So since waking up after surgery my girlfriend hasn't allowed me to have access to my phone or laptop until today because I "need to rest". I finally got my phone back today. I didn't finish my rp, I am definitely not going to ask this place to stop any longer for me. I will be posting what I have when I get home (hopefully in the next few days) out of the massive respect I have for Deep Figure Value and the effort he put into writing the match. I am sorry eljefe for failing to get my rp together before the deadline. You deserve a better effort on my end. In regards to that, I know I am not the constructive member of this promotion. I don't leave feedback on rps or shows very often, I don't write matches and I don't really reach out to the new people like I should. I could say that it is because I am always busy with work and the kids but that is only true part of the time. I could have had my rp written within in two days of the card being up but I put it off to do other things. I am sorry for the amount of effort I have put into this place. Most of y'all deserve more on my end at least in regards to feedback. @ballparkb0b King Richius you can move this or delete this if you don't want to have this as a separate thread.
