dude, it's back up again...what gives? but yeah, I'll reupload it and see if it'll put the image onto a more stable server

YAY...

i can c it now!

cool character FngKestrel!

That's weird, I've always been able to see it.

i think my problem yesterday was the computer i was using...

i had to sign in from home because the comp guy at work locked me out of the internet... but today for some reason i can get back on.

I've been having intermittent problems from my work comp. When I can't see it, the browser is usually trying to fetch the image last and isn't having any luck with getting it.

Okay, I swapped servers on imageshack...I think that'll do the trick.

It turns out The Tower Community has been paying attention. They feel that whilst Dobster has had things pretty much in hand, maybe it was time for some assistance.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa was particularly pissed off. Bye bye Ling Ling and your pathetic fireworks!! :thumbsup:

(BTW that took fucking ages to draw, so i hope you like it!)

Dude, nice one. :thumbsup: Pretty awesome!

WOW...

i like it, i like it!

interesting tatic.

Thanks Ishmal, i'm still sufferin from doing it. Was up 'til 6am. Stupid really.

awww poor champ! We do appreciate your work! :icare:

^ Word yo! :thumbsup:

Asta!!

Holy shit! It's a shame I'll have to destroy it! ;)

Heee! I was hoping you would, bro! I KNOW you got da skillz to mess wid my land subsidence shenanigans!

sniff sniff fanks Nance... wuurrr http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...63#post1502863

I'll let the Leaning Tower fall on Ling Ling, but not before putting a LASSO on it, linking it to the Lego tower. That way, if the Leaning Tower falls, it'll pull the Lego Tower down with it! Buahahahahaha!!

http://img86.exs.cx/img86/2345/lasso8pp.jpg

It's not showing Fng...might need to fix that :D

Asta!!

Wurrr? Yay for self-invented sounds! :)

FIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX IT! :|

Damn it boy didn't I tell you to attach the picture here on TFP?

Okay, I fixed it. Imageshack has one wonky server, img150.exs.cx, that seems to constantly die.

But now I can't see dobster's last post of the Leaning Tower. It looks like it got uploaded to img150.exs.cx as well.

Awesome move FngKestrel. Using your enemy's own weapons against him. Most excellent.

Aaaah, the old "Lassoing the Tourist Attraction" bit. Seen it time and time again. Always shows promise, but basically fruitless when confronted with my (solar powered) Laser! A HA! A HA! A HA HA HA HA HA HAAA! heh...

http://img145.exs.cx/img145/5873/laser5ma.png

Awesome laser dobster! Hmmm...

'hanks FngKestrel! So will you need my picture for the portrait then? Hahahaha! Only kidding mister!

hahahah excellent move dobster! :thumbsup:

ahahhahahhaa...sweet move laser man.....

To defeat your multi-million dollar (solar-powered) Laser, I'll use a 2 dollar Lid to cover up the solar panels! :D

http://img154.exs.cx/img154/9194/lid9lk.jpg

Once again, ingenuity trumps science. Nice move FK.

haha... just checked this thread out.. nice job guys.. makes me wish I could draw (but then I remember I'm just too damn lazy)

A LID?!!! I'm trying to take this seriously, Fng. You're telling me I've got to go back to the committee with a f*cking Lid! How is that going to make me look, huh?! I have responsibilities in this town, man! Round here I'm considered a serious and influential figure, or at least I was! A LID?!!! Surely we can set a standard here, its almost like you've lost interest! You're not wrong with multi million, dude, I've got financiers to answer to now.








Can you lend us a twenty?

well, it's not like a lid's gonna be hard to get rid of

Oh we can certainly sort this lid out, but the expense of each of these counter attacks just sky rockets when you consider the backline staff I employ. It just means commiting alot of time and money in order to destroy "a 2 dollar Lid". Something like closing down a factory or discrediting a well loved public figure definately incurs a justifiable outlay, but this is ridiculous. I could show you the paperwork involved...

:crazy:

heh.. too bad we can't give out hints.. I just thought of the perfect counter for this. Completely expense free too heh.

Yeah I coulda come up with something better than a lid as well. But I don't think I can draw good enough to do one a these things anyway.

Asta!!

Oh, trust me, I was going to do something more on the offensive, but the idea of defeating his laser with something so simple was too much to pass up.

^ I bet I know what it was!

Asta!!

Right FngKestrel, I'll admit you had me on the back foot with that Lid effort. I figured you'd just unplug me if i didn't provide evidence of another power source. A nice move it was, yes. However, despite my griping, I think I'll just employ another disembodied hand and Lift that lid out of the way. There.

http://img63.exs.cx/img63/1517/lift5pf.png

Hah! I know you have cost overruns dobster, how much does it cost for you to employ those giant disembodied hands? :lol:

Hmmm...this is ponderous man, really ponderous...

Ssshhhhhhh!! Dude! I'm not even sure if the disembodied hands even know they're even being employed even! :eek: No one here has been able to discuss things with them - we just sort of guide them in and give them things to hold. Bit cheeky I guess, but I think they're happier if they feel useful, you know? Difficult to tell...

Oh well, it saves us a fortune, oops! (think I might set up a discussion in another forum about this - feeling a bit guilty).


(BTW how do you think we built the Lego Tower in the first place? :crazy: )

I'll let your disembodied hands do their thing. But I'll move onto creating a pool of Lava to swallow up your leveret and the Lego Tower!

http://img125.exs.cx/img125/8522/lava7bc.jpg

(lava doesn't translate well to b&w, btw)

Right. That actually looks very final, in fact. Hmmm. I suspect Fng has had that up his sleeve for a while now!

Ouch! Unless you come up with something clever real fast then I'm afraid Fng is gonna win :eek:

Kinda looks like an ice floe now.

Lol, the source photo I drew from looked good in color, but as soon as I desaturated the values, it looked wierd.

I think it looks wicked dude!

A buff disembodied hand could hold those legos aloft.

City planners and the EPA will be none too pleased should someone report this lava flow in a valuable industrial zone.

Anyhow, what's to prevent the sky from falling, a meteor from landing strategically, or near miss by another celestial body from plucking undesirables from the scene? It's utter chaos!

Its Easy, they don't start with the letter "L"!

City planner = <b>L</b>ieutenant of industry
Minor planets = <a href="http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/lists/MPNames.html#L">~200 begin with "<b>L</b>"</a>
How about a (formerly) <b>L</b>evitated pallet of fire bricks?
Or a jumbo-size SPF-4000 <b>L</b>ip-balm to soothe and moisturize the Lego foundation?

It's all in hand (heh) guys... reLaxxx...

You guys aren't allowed to help the artists. I've had ideas too haha but you can't give em out cause it's against the rules of the duel.

Asta!!

does that mean Dobster hasn't given up???

WICKED!

i was SOOO sad wen i read Dobsters reaction to the Lava

That's gonna be the name of the book I write about this battle. That kool, K-Wise?

Aaaaw, that's real sweet :thumbsup: Cheers Ishmal.

(However) Grrrrrr and indeed Ah HA HA HA HA HAAAA!

Thats absolutely cool dobster!! :thumbsup:



Now lets talk about royalties :hmm:

Asta!!

Sorry, I couldn't help myself after what appeared to be dobster's concession post.

It won't happen again, other than to mention my royalty rates are quite reasonable for Jumbo SPF-4000 Lip-balm.

Dobster Retaliation Inc is obliged to state that it will not consider any form of promotion, endorsements or branding of any item other than those products manufactured by Dobster Retaliation Inc and it's subsidiaries.

Ok guys, I guess that slight potential for retreat got your attention then! Glad to see we still have a baying (paying?) audience. Thank you for your continued support. It's more than I could get from the Lego Corporation itself. Thanks your "help" Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen.

Anyway, that aside, please burn your science text books and behold, the Levitating (The disembodied hands are in talks with their union) Canister of Liquid Nitrogen which will, from it's floating position, turn the Lava into ice!

http://img109.exs.cx/img109/1448/liquidnitrogen2ek.png

It turns out the publishers are going with: "Welcome to "L", A Battle of Wits in the World of Structural Stability". So no royalties I'm afraid, K-Wise :(

Nice one dobster! :D

Hmmm...

<font size=1>cheap shot...</font>

Asta!!

Brilliant idea dobster! :thumbsup:

Cheers sister.

I love the way I suddenly get all concerned that people will tell me my last move is scientifically impossible. After all the craziness we've gotten away with so far! ERK!

It doesn't get any more impossible than Dizzet's magic bird Jeff! :p

You should've discussed whether or not you were gonna keep this realistic or not when you set the rules :)

Oi! No it werent!

Heh, he was certainly magical. Its not that, I'm just amused by my silly concern.

oh ok. It doesn't matter what people think. What's important is your opponent's opinion on the realistic aspects of your attacks. He can chose to either approve of it or tell you it's too unrealistic and tell you to come up with another approach.

Hey! Dont give him any ideas! :thumbsup:

Oh, it's fine. I mean, this drawing has gone WAY beyond normalcy. Besides, he's played right into my trap! MuahhahaHAHAAH!!!! Drawing to come later...

Yeah whatever you say, buddy! ;)

I know I was just replying to the suggestion of the stuff. Iwas letting them know that everything had to start with "L" as the rules stated. No giving help from here. :D

Doesn't that have to start with "L" as well??? :confused:

Ya know it's gotta hard for that poor little leverett to stand on that iced over lava without slipping.

Asta!!

dobster! With all your cost overruns, you missed a LEAK in your Liquid Nitrogen container! And all that Liquid Nitrogen doused your leveret and froze him solid! How could you be so cruel to put an animal's life in danger?!

http://img75.exs.cx/img75/4696/021leak5xd.jpg

HaHaHa...

good move FngKestrel!

Just use the chinese version:
"Lelcome to L..." ;)

Leak!! of course! you're a fucking genious FngKestrel :D

Aw, shucks. :o :D

I could mention the rules about counters only affecting the previous post as per the original Vs thread: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=70205
But I won't... :thumbsup:

Besides, I can counter this no sweat! Ah HAAA!

Yeah but like I said:

- and the toy store just happend to be on its path :D

Ugh, now I'm confused. However, as I say it's no sweat cause I can counter the leak, no probs. With...the assistance...of a few...handy...LENSES! (and a filter) These will thaw out the Leveret with the disipated heat of the Laser from act 27.

http://img109.exs.cx/img109/3411/lenses2tf.png

PAH!

I was wondering about that, since the Liquid Nitrogen is showing the hole covered over already and not the Liquid Nitrogen in transit on the way to the hole.

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone pulled the lense card for the laser.

Asta!!

I nearly did it when I first hired that Laser, but I figured I'd either need it on a later counter or it would be a waste of drawing time. Have you just been waiting for that to be done?

Yup cept I was hoping fng would have used it to re-direct it elsewhere. It would have been an excellent counter. But now you've gone and used it on the offensive. haHA!

Asta!!

Yeah, the lens was what I was planning to do to mess up his other objects with the laser, but like I said, the 2 dollar lid was just too good to pass up.

A great opportunity is too good to pass up.

Asta!!

You know, I'm actually genuinely stumped on where to take this battle. :confused:

Somebody might want to give the Leveret a pair of sunglasses. And maybe a can of halon for when his fur ignites? Just a thought.

I think the realistic portion of this battle was thrown out with the disembodied hands buddy.

I'm sure you'll think of something Fng

Asta!!

Nope! I won't hear that, Fng! If there's one thing that Fng knows, Fng knows L! (Grab a dictionary dude!)

:lol: (tickled me that did)

This poor Leveret, he's just running into no end of troubles. It looks like he got into a stash of LSD and is now tripping out. :D

http://img75.exs.cx/img75/6280/023lsd4qe.jpg

Creativity points comin riiiight up!

Asta!!

LOLOLOLOL I'm fuggin all OVER the place! That is MASTERFUL!!! LOLOL


phew...too ill for that much mirth...damn!

heeeheeeheee

tricky...

and unexpected...

hahah that's brilliant FngKestrel!!!!!!

dobster? what you got?

I CAN'T THINK OF NUFFINK!!! I'm all stumped!! :|

Say it isn't so!

Asta!!

Ohhh noo it looks like the LSD has Dobster tripping. :p
:lol:

5 DAYS!! AAAARRRGH!!!!
