Insane you ever heard of the edit button. You can use that so you don't double and triple post. Also if you want it to show up as a new post and you had the last post, you can copy your post delete it paste stuff back to it, and add new stuff and go to post, that way it shows up as a new post, but you don't double post. But that is just a side note.

Hey, that's a good point Arresty.

I didn't think of that one.

A.) First of all, it was a fucking joke, you stupid ass nOOb.
B.) I don't fucking care how much time passes between your posts. You don't fucking double-post around here! If you've got a problem with that, then too fucking bad!
C.) Finally, it doesn't matter if you have a thousand different retarded ass theories to post, if you're the last poster, then put them all in the same damn post! That's one of the primary reasons we have the freakin edit button. You may not care about this, but the more posts people make, the more bandwidth it eats up, and that's coming out of Psi's pocket. Ultimately, I wasn't trying to put you in your fucking place, as I am now you smart-ass little bitch. I was just making a joke and delivering a message at the same time. If you paid attention to the mood of the post, you may have been able to tell that. Oh, and I added the post to the one before it, so don't sit there and lie you little fuck. I didn't delete shit. That was not the post you had there before. What you had before is the second paragraph of the first post you made, before your noobish mistake.
Now then, I think I've made myself clear. Show a little respect and stop double posting and we can forget about this, thanks.
or...
You can continue to be a little cunt, and I can have Psi ban your ass. 
Everyone wants to act so hard and bitch about a little post editing. I'm one of the main fucking Mods around here people. It's my job. Don't give me a reason to, and it won't fucking happen! Damn, I swear...

Hey, I had you edit a piece of my post before, and I edited it back stating my reason for doing so and ensuring it won't happen in the future. I don't get the fuss, really, it's all a bit of fun. No need to get all stirred up, people. No harm is inflicted upon the user, and if it did, you're a loser.
I like Arresty's suggestion. If you really want to make sure it's on the top, delete your post, and post again.

Uh, that was originally my idea...unless Arresty also came up with it on his own. I was just talking about it the other day in regards to a different double-posting incident.

Bah, no matter. Do you want to add that to the FAQ?
Oh, I have double and triple posted before...in the omake section. But that was ancient history.

Rule of thumb is that if you are the last poster to the thread and you have additional commentary/info you want to put in, then edit your post. This makes the thread flow better.
Oro and Lucky raped users for double (not to mention triple posting) on DP, no reason to stop doing so here. When in doubt, use the delete button, it's your post... you have that right.

No shit, I was once one of their rape victims, so don't think I'm going to show anyone else any mercy. One time, I did it one time back when I first signed on damn near a year ago and they burned me. I think it's pretty well known not to do it, so no quarter guys...

Yeah I did. I remember reading it somwhere, but forgot where. I did rememebr you saying it, sorry for not crediting you. Didn't feel it was overly necessary, but I liked the idea and remembered it.

Hello, I got a stupid theory and well, this is the place for that right?? I was just thinking, do you guys think Caska has Kushan blood in her?? I mean, I remember in the anime that she was born in a village near the border or something. I am new here as you can tell. Hope I posted in the right place and stuff. Please don't kill me......

Ayanami: haha, you make me laugh. No smiting for you yet. I am however intrigued with your question. I would like to know as well.

I think this has been speculated before, but there is nothing to prove/refute that right now. She might as well be...

I think she is. It doesn't make much mention about it, though. It just says that she was bought by a noble who came to her village, and Griffith saved her as the noble was about to rape her. There is no mention where the village is. Besides her skin colour, there isn't anything to suggest she is Kushan. Oh, welcome to forums.
Hope I posted in the right place and stuff.
There is nothing 'wrong' and 'right' material being posted in this thread

.
Please don't kill me......
What makes you think that?!

Ayanami don't worry, you got to do something pretty bad to get burned in this thread, like double or triple post. As far as your theory goes, its signifigantly less stupid than most in here, but like Femto said I believe it has come up before. She does look that way since she is dark. She could have been born near there, but we have not gotten much information on her past really to know, we don't even know what border she was on. When I watched the anime I was thinking the Midland and Chudar(sp?) border since that was where the war was being fought, but who knows. She coudl have been somewhere completely different, wars are common in berserk. But you are safe from burning now, you only get burnt for being noobish. We have a thread somewhat dedicated to what not to do, but it got way off track.

I LOVE that thread...
Yeah, don't worry about being flamed. I'm feeling generous, anyway.
Anyway, back in DP, when I made my theories, I didn't rely sorely on smut. I had a couple of good ones.

Glad you didn't start a new thread and decided to post here.

You'll be fine Ayanami, we are only harsh to people that deserve it.
A word of advice though, try to stay away from the user called Buzkashi... He's a mean, freaky dude...

Yeah, he's a shocker...
Stay away from InsaneNoodleGuy as well. His user name tells all...
Otherwise, you're fine.

Dunno if this counts as a theory, could be more like an observation. We all know that Skull Knight and Flora are good friends, and Guts and Schiekre seem to be on the same path. My thought is, could Skull Knight and Flora have been brought together by the same thing that helps tie Guts and Schierke, the Berserker Armor?
We all know that the few times Guts has needed all of the Berserker armor's strength, Schierke has had to help him regain his humanity. Perhaps this same action helped Skull Knight and Flora bond. I can only assume that while Skull Knight doesn't have "The Beast" (Although he could have/had his own version, something similar but not exactly the same) He could have gotten into a frenzy, not feeling pain and all, and Flora may have regained his sanity for him. Perhaps later Skull Knight decided he no longer needed the armor (or found something better), but due to his appreciation of Flora, kept in contact ( A Witch is a powerful ally as we have all seen).
Thoughts? Comments? Hope my first post here goes as well over as Ayanami's.

Nope, as I recall, Skull Knight 'died' wearing the armour. At least that's what Schierke says.
Welcome to Mindwerks, Tempest. Heh, maybe they should make a rule that first time posters should post in thsi thread....

This is true, I don't know how this is to be interperted. Perhaps his human body dies but his spirit manifested a new body somehow (Perhaps Flora helped in this). And we can't say for 100% that is was Skull Knight who died wearing it, we know that he did wear it sometime in the past, (he's had about 1000 years to do so) and we do know that the last user died. We don't know how many others could have used it. Unless maybe I missed a part where it specifically says Skull Knight used it last (This is very possible, I have skipped pages in haste before) I can't say this for sure. I personally don't think the shape of the helmet is definitive proof that it was Skull Knight who last wore it. Maybe the armor was first used on him and that's its original shape? Or a coincidence? Or I could be totally wrong. Wouldn't be the first time or the last.

Well, when Guts wore the armour manifested itself to a dog-like type helmut, so I think the armour changes accordingly to its wearer. So, it's very likely that SK was the last user of the armour, and he died wearing it. The Skull-like helmut itself IS proof that SK is the last user, because as I've said, the armour changes with each user. I was a bit skeptical myself, but I have re-read the chapters, and now agree with my current analysis. The armour doesn't change shape instantly, but after Guts has wore it for about 30 seconds, the armour manifested itself into Guts persona, granting him abnormal speed and strength, dulling his senses at the cost at his life. So unless SK got wiped out during the 30 seconds he wore it, it's likely that SK was the last user. The shape of the armour reflects the wearer's true persona.
