We all play this game, assuming the personas of superheros... what IS a superhero, anyway?

IRL : A superhero is a person who never look for an ovation when doing good deeds, and always admit it when they do poor choices. 

( Now you know why I'm the queen of poor choices  :ph34r:  , it's because I'm a superhero  :D  ) 

In the game, a superhero is Priscilla. :P  Just kidding... we all know the real superheroes are the encoders.

Sorry to break it for all of you , but we are all just superhero wannabes. 

Now, accept it and thank the staff. 


The life of a Sam is only a succession of awkward moments. Like this one right here, I have no idea how to finish this statement. Thus, I'm just going to stop right here. :)

"we all know the real superheroes are the encoders.

BAH! I am no hero wannabe! I am a VILLAIN! And proud of it, I tell you! As a Ninja Lord and Pirate King, I will never let the illusion of honor sway me! No. I shall LIVE and DIE, a PIRATE KING!

 

Oh, better far to live and die
Under the brave black flag I fly,
Than 
play a sanctimonious part,
With a pirate head and a pirate heart.
Away to the cheating world go you,
Where pirates all are well-to-do;
But I’ll be true to the song I sing,
And live and die a Pirate King.

For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!

For I am a Pirate King!
Chorus.
You are!
Hurrah for our Pirate King!
King.
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King.
Chorus.
It is!
Hurrah for our Pirate King!
King & Chorus.
Hurrah for the Pirate King!

When I 
sally forth to seek my prey
I help myself in a royal way.
I sink a few more ships, it’s true,
Than a well-bred monarch ought to do;
But many a king on a first-class throne,
If he wants to call his crown his own,
Must 
manage somehow to get through
More dirty work than ever I do,

For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!

For I am a Pirate King!
Chorus.
You are!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!
King.
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King.
Chorus.
It is!
Hurrah for our Pirate King!
King & Chorus.
Hurrah for the Pirate King!

 

:P

Oh well, you might want to be more careful admitting your vices publicly. 

 

You might just be mistaken for a SuperHero.

 

Honesty is , in my opinion, what makes a man of honor. 

 

You might be a villain, but you'd be the nicest.  :P

Tis a shame we are separated by different dimensions, Ninja Lass. For truly, you are a woman after my own heart. If I could make you a Queen, I would. Oh if we could but tear the fabric of time and space! But alas, the Fates are cruel and toy with us mere mortals. And so we are forced to sail where the winds will take us. A shame, really. But who am I to judge the powers that be? No. I am merely empowered to curse them. 

 

Oh curse you, foul Fates! You and the games you make us play. Ever toying with love and yet ever left with our arms flailing about in the night at ether and dreams! Curse you, I say! Curse you!

I'm flattered. :rolleyes:

 

Yet, one shouldn't irk Atropos, for thy own safety . She can be really grim . Cursing her is worse than calling death on thyself.

Bah! Tempting the Fates is a dance I gladly dance, for what other dance is there worth dancing? .............. Well, maybe a nice Tango or Merengue.

Villains always, always dance the tango.


“What would your good be doing if there were no evil, and what would the earth look like if shadows disappeared from it? After all, shadows are cast by objects and people. There is the shadow of my sword. But there are also shadows of trees and living creatures. Would you like to denude the earth of all the trees and all the living beings in order to satisfy your fantasy of rejoicing in the naked light?”

― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

A villain who can't mix it up is going to have a short career. Otherwise the fuzz catches on. And you always have to stay at least one step ahead of the law if you want to remain a freebird. Hell, I even have a goat named Disco. Ever dance with the Devil in the pale moon light?
