Muahahahaha! Due to me, the subtle part of his advertising plan failed! The advertising appears to have worked, however...

Hey, Cicion, I'd like a second refill on my coke, here.

I was in on the first webstory for a while, it was pretty cool. Then I left for the weekend, got back and broke my ankle - it put a damper on things. There was altogether too much going on for me to get back into the story. It was fun while I was doing it though.

Joveia, do like Pharris did, don't set anylimits or define things, just let the people wing it. That's why the other one took off so well and so fast - just made it up as it went. I think that defined rules could allow for a more structured webstory, but if it's loose and there's freedom, a lot of people will join because it's so easy.

Yeah, but posting once or twice a month kinda sucks. You start on a thread of some sort and then go back to look a week later when you have an opportunity to post and it's nowhere where you thought it might be. Not bad, but can be frustrating.

I would post more but work and lack of bandwidth happened. It sucks to be on the low end of the internet food chain again.

Yeah, I feel your pain. I have been on the low end of just about everything computer related since '97. Power Mac 6500 - 275 mhz, 128 mb of ram. 50 meg (megs I think) system bus. 33k modem, faulty internet connection. Bad hard drive. Cannot attach files. Cannot bookmark webpages. Cannot download directly through AOL. Cannot connect to battle.net or join gameranger games without freezing. Have "Mature Teenager" internet setting, so I cannot even find out if I can get cable! However, I can post on the boards and complain to you about it, so thanks for listening.

You obviously don't remember the days of the hehe thread in the Trash Talk forum. Dear god, it was... indescribable. You have no idea.

No, I did peer into the hehe topic at one point. Something about lizards is all I remember. It must have been mighty funny though, because it had like 300 posts when I got here back in November.

Hehe was awesome, but then a certain person (not mentioning any names, you may be able to figure it out for yourself) sorta came in, brought their own characters, killed the other characters, started doing Hehe in a less random, more trying-to-be-funny-and-failing style, and went rampant with it for quite some time. Now it's in its death throes. (Hehe 2 is, at least) I suppose this shows how, when the rules are unspoken rules, somebody will come along who is oblivious to them all around him, and just sorta screw everything up.

Personally, I think my 'thankyou citizens' and 'more posts than views' topics were inspiring. However, I *was* actually around when 'hehe' was there. Unfortunately, I never posted.

Oh, yeah, I realise my mistake. But really, most people would invent totally silly weapons and defenses. If you're neighbour invents a weapon/defense then you *have* to one better right? Eventually, the whole power structure gets screwed up, and it becomes a bar except with longer posts.

So my solution was to forcify things a bit. But the RPG has reached a new crisis point, and I believe it's solution lies in my original problem when I thought of the RPG. Should I create a new one, I guarantee it will be better simply from a simple alteration in it's pretext...

Dude, the "more posts than views" thread was AWESOME!
I wish that the mods would let us get away with it, but to them it's condoning MASSIVE spamming.

And I do mean massive. With a capital Massive.

That's "capital MASSIVE". All right, I've let my bar rot for too long. Let's get back in business! *Wipes off the 2 inches of dust that have accumulated on the bar and starts cleaning up the rest of the joint with help from his robots.* Okay, then. *Pours a drink for himself and warms up his drink dispensors.*

Naah, the cheese topic was the best I think.
It was the cultural exchange value of it you see...

Um, barkeep, slide a GreenyBlue 5 ®©™ Posted Image

over here please, make it a double, and hold the Gerbil. And make it a real one from a bottle, not something from that Acme Corp Random Object Generator thingy you have installed there. Their drinks always taste like randomly created toxic waste (good for cleaning out the blood though).

"Hmm," glances areound the bar, and directly a moment at all the newbies cowering in the shadows, "I see you've re-decorated this place again. A touch of deja vu perhaps..."

Well, the poker tables are over there in the corner, if you want to start up a game. Count me out for this round.

Mag deals out five cards to both him and psychic Darkk. "Everything in my hand is wild."

After they're both ready, Mag starts. "Five space parrots of spades, hah!"

Darkk calmly places his hand down on the table. "Six space parrots."

"Lemme look at that." Mag leans closer, and sure enough, all six of Darkk's cards are space parrots. "Hey, you have six cards! You cheated!"

"So did you."

"But that's not the point!"

"Gimme the cash."

Mag grudginly hands it over, complaining about cheaters, before seeing if anybody else wants to play.

(takes a sip), but methinks it's not the real thing, this one you gave me is all lowercase. Tastes good though. (tosses a variable denomination cred-chip on the counter) Keep up the good work. Moves over to the card game
So, er, what is this game called? It looks really difficult...

Shrout1 awakens from an end-of-the-school-year slumber. All those last minute projects, make up assignments, finals, AP Tests and SAT's have taken a toll on him. However, he is glad to be back.

Give me a DP - I think my world could stand to tast a little bit better.

Oh, just released some alphas of the plugs I said I was working on, but abandoned. They're rough and unfinished, but you can get to see my ideas. Anyway...

Shrout1 watches the game of poker from a distance, his head pounding from a lack of coffee. I hate caffeine withdrawl.

Allow me to offer you a Caffeinepak™ Pic-me-up.

Hands Shrout an a-grav bubble with a coffee-like drink in it that pauses just at eye level, before rolling itself into a cat-like shape that starts to purr.

It auto adjusts to your preferred drink temperature, you don't even need to add water. Great for long journeys. Posted Image
