I am Man. I fear nothing. Mine me all you will. Give unto me your fury! I shall wear no armor, grant no st. nicks. I shall stand tall and ride the internet wave bareback and free of restraints. Yes I shall be mined to 0dp (And in fact have been, repeatedly) But I shall not change. Because what defines a man is not his riches but his choice. And I chose to brave these terrifying waters, Armed but unarmored. Who dares ride with me? Who here has the courage to go without there armor, Without any protection from the pain? I'm inviting you to show the PMOG world your heart! To expose yourself here as a true warrior. Join me. Post bravely, and join me.

OK after a post like that... I laid some mines on you. Good luck O brave one.

*tightens straps on armor and ducks*

I would, but I'm too scared.

maltagirl, Not the first. won't be the last. We brave souls who adventure without our armor, and publicly announce such behavior are used to it by now. I've had over 40 mines this morning alone. I have no dp. The secret to this particular technique of PMOG appears to be, spend the DP as fast as you can, so the mines just make the screen shake rather than actually hurting.
And uselessness, C'mon! You've gotta learn to throw caution to the wind! Live life to the fullest (And shortest)!

Or... you can crate your dp on your own profile (so no-one else can loot the crate), and then go about your unarmored life ;-)

@shyiskhar

You're really just paying 5DP extra.

3 mines w/o armor = 30 DPs
1 armor (lasts three mines) = 25 DPs

I'd join you, but I want badges!

It's not about the money! It's about the manliness! Or the Womanliness! Depending on your preference. It's about never surrendering, About Standing proud and strong in an army of those looking to cause us harm. It's about bravery, About power and passion and hope! Are the badges worth your Human passion for Great Justice?

1) You are man? lulz, roflcoptor, suxorz etc, etc...

2) You use Deadpool as you avi... go die.

@shard I am Man! Or a man. The rules are somewhat uncertain. And whats your issue with Deadpool? I find him incredibly entertaining myself... But I guess there are those who may dislike him. No idea why though.
Is your avi Deathnote? If not it's gotta be the same artist.. Do tell.

I have no dp. The secret to this particular technique of PMOG appears to be, spend the DP as fast as you can, so the mines just make the screen shake rather than actually hurting.

Doesn't this defeat the purpose then?

@chetyre

Depends on the purpose. My purpose is not so much to risk the DP as it is to resist the urge to protect ones self. It's an ideal, A dream, A goal.
However, It's impossible to always be at 0 dp, Eventually the mines catch you. I lost over 120 dp today, for a start. So even if your purpose is to risk the dp.. Well you know.

This is a movement, a deliberate middle finger as it were to those who wear the label of bedoins. Not so much in hatred of them, Because I would never encourage hatred, But more as a sign of ultimate rivalry. A destroyer lays mines. His plan is to cause chaos, and armor defeats that purpose. A true destroyer (Whether in actual official label, or merely at heart) should be fundamentally and perfectly opposed to armor, on a basic level. I shall not fear the mines I lay. They are mine and whether laid by me or another of my ilk, every mine tripped whilst protected is a defeated mine, and thus a mine wasted. Let them scar your flesh. Wear those scars with pride!

Well where were you for all the Destroyers to mine BEFORE the tool reset. Back when mines ONLY counted by hitting someone without armor?

This Bedouin does not flinch at your so called stand.

I wasn't here then. But I am now. And You're not meant to flinch. We all already know the bedouins are cowards.. Who else would cover themselves in metal in order to hide from the world?

you use good punctuation and capitalization like its school work or a resume, shyiskhar....

done the dirty-dirty to shyiskhar with mines for making use of correct punctuation and capitalization in his own thread too many times in a row!!! ha

Cowards? Bedouins are the ones seeking to trip the mines. We "want" to find mines and trip them. We put ourselves in the way of danger to save the innocents from getting the mines. We are here to put a damper in your fun. Not cowardly.

(Funny how I am now a Vigilante as I type this. Which are the other assoc out to ruin your Destroyer fun. Trust me I am a Bedouin at the core.)

Again, Bedouins are not flinching at your stand. We are "not" impressed at your attempt to be "manly". We are, instead laughing at your attempt to anger us. Please do keep mining the internet. It keeps Bedouins in business.

Cheers! :D

I am a destroyer/bedouin/vigilante so I get the best of all worlds.

@shyiskhar Badges are indeed worth it, since they're shiny and I plan to get all of them very very soon. (tools only)

I have to admit, you make a very impassioned speech. Do you, perchance, work for the Obama campaign?

Is a man in a tank risking his life when he drives through an area where people shall fire at him with small hand guns? No? Then how can it be that wearing armor(Which at the moment can take three hits for every one mine I lay) is considered bravery? You can buy almost double the armor to each mine I buy, and withstand three hits to each one I lay. That's not bravery. Do you wear large layers of bubble wrap when you go out into the real world, just in case someone should bump you too?

And why didn't I get hit by drudges mines!? I was looking forward to the pain.. reminds us we're alive!

If I worked for the Obama campaign I'd be incredibly busy right about now. I'm just a bum with way too much time on his hands, And a passion for oratory.

Edit: Scratch that. Just hit like 50 mines from drudge. Thanks man!

Also, As an aside, I'd like to put forward the idea of a "scar tissue" badge, Which in order to achieve one would have to suffer through a certain number of mine blasts, whilst going armor free.
I would already have that badge.. let me tell ya!

@shyiskhar I'm with you, but you know that already. And I really like that badge idea.

1 for the cause! (And I'm sorry you're about to get blown to smithereens! Enjoy the agonizing pain. Like I said, it reminds us we're alive.) Also, I'm working on a manifesto. We shall post it everywhere and be proud. We alone shall stand strong in the face of almost certain death. Using our bodies as shields and never flinching as bits of us go flying!

Don't worry 'bout me, I'm used to get blown to pieces, and I can take a lot of pain, though I prefer to inflict it on others. Um. That's why I'm a destroyer, I guess.

Yeah, I really like to see that manifesto. We might need to adjust our strategy a little, though. I'm having an idea, but it needs a bit more thinking.

I'm always open to ideas! Working on the manifesto as we speak...

Yep, just got the mail.

Such a man! I'd follow him to hell and back I would!
Paranoia is not necessarily cowardice!
No more armor for me!

Wo0t! TWO for the cause!
Zombie thread is awesome!

Eh? When I started this thread, PRisk didn't exist.
It's pure fluke!
