Barnacle Ed: /* Some ArmPGs */

{{Q|What the holy fuck is an ArmPG?|Saurian|ArmPGs}}

An ArmPG is an [[RPG]] which plays out similar to an RTS. The players are usually playing commanders or gods of some sorts and command around their armys/races. They grew in popularity when [[King ICBM]] made what was essentially the first one ([[Internet War]]) some time in January 2006, but popularity died out a few months later. [[TeeKayEff]] coined the phrase "ArmPG" in the Games Directory thread.

== Playing an ArmPG ==

Playing usually lies in besting your opponents moves while still staying within reasonable boundaries of technology and time. At the end of the ArmPG this tends to degenerate into madness as player's technology and their arsenal increase beyond bounds. Godmodding is frequent, but often nescessary in small doses.

== Pros ==

*Restrictive godmodding lets you play around a bit with your creativity and have fun
*Addictive once you get the hang of it

== Cons ==

*Restricted godmodding tends to annoy people, gets easily out of hand
*Inaccessible/unappealing to some

== Some ArmPGs ==
*[[Internet War]] (Host: [[ICBM]], Winner: [[TEW]])
*[[WWII-ish Game]] (Host: ICBM, Winner: [[TeeKayEff]])
:*[[WWIII RPG]] (Host: [[Darkmaster]], Winner: Unfinished, one post said TeeKayEff won)
*[[Phil'Katar RPG]] (Host: Darkmaster, Winner: TeeKayEff)

{{Wilde|You sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? Now there's a frood who knew where his towel was!|someone other than Barnacle_Ed}}

{{Wilde|...WTF? Is he some sort of crustacean?|Barnacle_Ed}}

== OMGLOLWTFBBQ? ==

This page is dedicated to Barnacle_Ed (Alias: Noodlehead) (Alias: Amabamus) (Alias: Metalhead204) (Alias: Maduli) (Alias: DIIV), his many exploits, and a good healthy heap of random.

Mostly, just the random.

Now it's time for a brief history! =O

== Long ago, when the Pyramids were young... ==

Ed's username was Amabamus and he had never heard of KOL. He played Star Wars Galaxies and was, in general, a total loser. He then signed up on a guitar forum under the username "Metalhead204", but the forum turned out to be mostly about sheer randomness. And discussions about condoms.

It was a grim time, to say the least.

== Ed's Origins ==

The username Barnacle_Ed was picked upon signing up for KOL waaaaaay back when dinosaurs roamed the earth in...I ''think'' 2004. My memory ain't so good since I lost my mind back in South America (details later on in the page)

Anyways, upon making a seal clubber, Ed then decided (yes, Ed refers to Ed's self in teh third person, lol) to sign up on the forums and get some decent, professional (cough, cough) help from experienced players. Upon reaching the forum, however, Ed found the Random Ramblings section.

Thus, a legacy was born! Posting in such epic topics as reallllly old QTE rounds and Insult the Person Above, young Ed was having the time of his life. It would not last.

== Tragedy! ZOMG! ==

However, Ed (being the uber-pro-ass-kicking-hard-shelled-guy that he is) was called away on a super secret mission to Soviet Russia. Upon arrival, however, Ed discovered that in Soviet Russia, super secret mission is called away to you!

Terrible, overused jokes aside, Ed was forced into the backwoods of the South American rainforest with three other uber-pro peeps and a dimwitted "guide". This mission would determine whether the world would live to see another day and if [[Ye Olde Godes of Randome]] would smile upon the world for all eternity.

Okay, well maybe I exaggerated a little, but oh well. Whatevur. Long story short: the group got lost for several months, and they didn't even have a toothbrush. Nor a towel.

There was plenty of foliage, however. I have some great pictures from that little incident.

== Ed sees the light!!!! ==

Then, things turned around. Ed stumbled upon ancient ruins that held the secret to powerful necromancy. Studying these texts, Ed was able to summon up a couple of skeletons and find his way to civilization. He then summoned up some more zombies and helped the rest of the group over.

Sometime along the way, however, the single greatest thing in the entire life of Barnacle_Ed happened: he lost his mind. I think Ed had it in his back pocket when a monkey pickpocketed it. Or maybe it was eaten by a pirannah. Or...well, I dunno. It's looooong gone now, and good riddance! Stupid logic...

== The triumphant return ==

Upon arriving back in his little house in California, Ed realized that he'd been gone nearly a year...surely things had changed on KOL. New users, topics, even entire boards might be online at this very moment.

Ed was right. Upon logging on for the first time in a year, I recognized maybe three people. Tops. Everything was different, especially KOL with these new "ascencions" and "jewel making".

Luckily, Ed had lost his mind and was soon able to fit right back into the Random community. the rest is history.

== Some of Ed's ''many'' accomplishments ==

(in chronological order) (i guess...)

*Participant in "QTE II" (i think)
*Participant of "Insult the Person Above"
*Maker of several dozen "In Soviet Russia..." jokes
*Maker of several dozen more "Dead Baby" jokes
*Participant in "QTE XII"
*Participant in the "Phase Shift II" RPG
*Participant in "Stellaguerre" RPG
*Participant in "Phil'Katar" RPG
*Participant in several other RPGs that I can't think of at this moment (no offense to the creators >.>)
*Participant in the ROF probe
*Participant in the GA probe
*Lieutenant and official bombardier during the war against 4Chan
*Inventor of the S-Bomb, Cesium Hotdog, WTFPWNED and WTFPWND rays, and currently working on the project "Pretty Pink Pony" (HIGHLY classified)
*Financial advisor in the ill-fated RR company
*Creator of "Enter the Arena"
*Creator of "OLO"
*Creator of the "Zombie Ninja Pirate RPG"
*Uber-Pro necromancer dude
*Wet his pants during eon-8
*Card-carrying geek

== In conclusion... ==

Ed is one badass crustacean. Even if his postcount is pathetic.

NOW GET THE FUCK OFF MY LAWN D:

==Setting up Policy==
Okay, I have no idea what the fuck is going on. We seem to have three (four) admins that can't agree on where the hell this wiki is going. So let's try to figure this out. Everyone's welcome to put their two cents in. {{User:Hinoa/sig}} 20:05, 24 October 2006 (EDT)
:Well, if we make it just RR-related stuff, it'll be smaller and less confusing, but it's also more likely to just fade out of existance after a couple weeks. If we do a mini Uncyc thing, we'll get a bunch of random things with no connection to RR, but it'll be larger, encourage people to stick around and contribute, and hell, we might even drawn in outsiders. :O ~ [[User:Janus|Janus]] 20:09, 24 October 2006 (EDT)
::I'd still like it to be somewhat about RR, though. A general humor wiki would pretty much be reinventing the wheel. (And besides, I might go into Uncyc admin mode. That will not be pretty.) {{User:Hinoa/sig}} 20:27, 24 October 2006 (EDT)
:::I've been away today, sorry. Anyway. I think it should be mostly RR-related, because really, if you think about it, there is a LOT you could do up in relation to RR. If the occasional humor article pops in, I don't see a problem with it. But as long as we don't end up reinventing the wheel, as Hinoa says, I'm fine with a 75/25 mix. -- [[User:Talus|Talus]] 20:32, 24 October 2006 (EDT)
::::I'd even be happy with 60/40, just so long as the 40% at least follows the ''spirit'' of RR. {{User:Hinoa/sig}} 20:40, 24 October 2006 (EDT)
:::::That's generally what I meant, really.--[[User:Talus|Talus]] 20:58, 24 October 2006 (EDT)
I think as a start we should focus on getting the basic stuff down. Try to contribute by bringing up old things we remember beyond the frong page. We don't need to make up junk and go Uncyc just yet, once we've established a base on what the RR really is, then we can start throwing shit around.

More origionality, I say! 
I don't know if we should write articles exactly like you would find on uncyclopedia, because they've got it pretty much nailed down pat. I suggest we find some other way to be funny with articles. -''Previous comment by [[User:Poppington]]; please sign your edits here.''
