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... =)

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

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.

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.

Dalir, saying that out loud and looking at your avvy is soooo funny.
