The Meaning of Toribash
In this thread I dare to ask you the analogue of one of the most exciting questions. What is the Meaning of Toribash? I want you to give a wide answer, not just "Because it's fun" (You can also answer the Meaning of Life question with two words and be right "I live for pleasure (in the wide sense)") I want you to concretize which things are on first and place to you, and on the second, tell the aim of you playing this game, the limits of interests, you can also feel free to suppose to forecast the future of you in this game and this game and community in general.

P.S. It's too late for me (and I still have some words to say) And I am ready to drop. I will add my own opinion a bit later. And I want you to start without me.
This really isnt a Debate thread as it is more of an opinionated thing, but It would make a good discussion thread :V

Toribash... what other online games can you play where you are RESPECTED as a player instead of being tortured as a newbie or loathed as a pro?

Where matches are ALWAYS met with a good game, for most of the time... it is a good game. It is our tiny nation, unbound by time zones and geographical locations and even age, where we are led by both corrupt and altruistic leaders and anarchic and level minded citizens, where discussions range from the inane to the highbrow.

Show me another game, and I'll probably play it with as much respect as I do Toribash



I made myself cry typing that... =)

wow, that is epic and poetic. I love you

But serious, the diversity of the community is the biggest feature, there are not only recognized and famous players, but texture makers, video artists and admins. What keeps all this together is the unique economy with TC. I guess that is Toribashes strongest feature. That about our own tiny nation really hits it. Ah and the game itself is awesome and allways new as well, without that, the community couldnt survive.
<Gandalf> YOU SHALL NOT PASS
<Balrog> Sorry

On-links are bad
OLDA are good

Nothing like having people spot me online, saying hello then talking like they know me cos they're seen a video I've made.

It's a far cry from the abuse normally thrown randomy in other games.

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.

My aim is to control my Tori just like the human body. Just think about all the movements you do without even thinking about it. Toribash made me realize what an amazing thing the brain is.
Oblivion: that wasn't hilarious
Oblivion: it was brilliantly complex though
Oblivion: hands down man
Oblivion: today I genuinely believe more than I ever did before
Oblivion: that you are better than me
Oblivion: gg NutHug

It's one massive 'self expression'.

Everyone has the option to customise their Tori to suit them.

Most people have an individual fighting style (although some do copy).

Some of us make videos, art etc.

You see where I'm going with this? ;)

becuz it r fun lol

But seriously, because there's always something to strive for. Maybe you want
to learn how to boomhit, maybe you want to learn how to make the most uberly
stylish head kick in Toribash's history... And if you practice enough, you can do it.
There's almost always some way of doing exactly what you want, and even if
it turns out wrong, you can still make something awesome out of it sometimes.
My point? The freedom. You can do whatever you want in Toribash. With enough
practice, you can become a master of ANYTHING that is possible in Toribash.
Jumping, walking, headbutting, buttheading, thigh kicking, crotch kneeing...
I guess this is what has been keeping me playing.

And yes, i am rambling. My brain is tired, and isn't working as it should. Bedtime soon :P
<Blam|Homework> oiubt veubg
various places to find me lol
Toribash is like the anarchy debate thread. it is utopia, where everyone is mostly happy, with the occasional annoying person who gets "banished" (banned)

people make madmans, art, clans, mods, videos, heads... there's something fun for everyone.
On 18, 2008 of the year August, we shall have tea. The following day we eat anyone wearing purple clothes. Then we get into tanks, drive a mile away from each other, and start firing random shells into the air. First one to hit the other tank gets a 5 second head start in the 1 legged race.

In the one legged race, you will be hogtied and forced to compete in the Boston marathon using your penis only. We shall also set down bear traps, landmines, barbed wire, and floating thumbs. Your penis will be painted to resemble an illusion that looks like a 3-D steak; as a result, several Dobermen and Rottweilers we will be taking for a walk that morning which have been starved the previous week may attack.
It's a game where egomaniacs can increase their e-peen. No-other thorough online game has a community that will recognize "famous" personalities the way the toribash community.

Also, and I know you specified, it's innovative, and a lot of fun. People keep saying this community sucks balls, but then they really should take a look at other games. In certain games, all the assholes have merged into one huge asshole and they're spewing shit all over the place.
