Well, I was thinking a topic of parodies of Ares and Ares plugs could be good. Also, we have some visiting EV/O and Cythera guys, so they could do parodies on their games. A little disclaimer before I continue: I don't mean to be insulting anybody, I'm not criticising Ares or anything else, I'm just trying to get another topic going.

Here's a parody for "The Stars Have Ears" (Yes, I realise my parody sucks, but we'll hopefully have some good ones from other people):

Book 2 of the Ares Saga
You Scarred My Ears

Location: Mermaid, On The Urine Arm


The Gaitori are peeking at us, to get an idea of our ship movements.

You've gotta stop them.


We'll drop you here. It might hurt, in fact we found the hardest spot to drop you, but we dropped you here, anyway. We're giving you a heavy cruiser. Although it's name implies "big buff ship", it's really a small thing with rapid guns. We've been a bit tight with the purse strings lately, so we'll only give you one.


Here's the first peeking Gaitori, at this window. Windows don't have any weapons, so they won't hurt you.


The Gaitori have Cruisers at each window. Luckily, their cruisers also don't translate into "big buff ship". They're slow, and armed with concussive pellet guns, which don't work well on slow ships.


This is the second window.


Kill the third window after the second window. The third window is being guarded by a Gaitori gunship. Unfortunately for you, gunship doesn't translate to "small wussy thing that's only half-decent because it's so small and cheap". Gunships are bigger and better than cruisers. Their gunships are just as fast as you, and otherwise pretty much equal to their cruisers, except they've got an annoying turreted, guided pulse gun thingy.


The fourth window is your last target. It's got a gunship and some cruisers guarding it. It's the best guarded window on the entire building.


The Gaitori have built a Gaitori Farm in the system. Sorta like an ant farm, only bigger, holds Gaitori instead of ants, and it sits in space. Plus, it's got guns. Stay away from it.


The Obish have a couple of their Escort Cruisers in the area, and they might be interested in helping out, once you've shown that you can do the mission without them. We're not exactly sure why they're called Escort Cruisers instead of Cruisers or Heavy Cruisers or Buff Cruisers or something like that, but we do know that they've got tech they mooched off of us and the Salrillians.

Anyway, that's my parody. I hope somebody comes up with something really good, and we can all have a few laughs.

That's pretty cool.

That said, I think most people on the boards don't have the time right now to match it. *Heads off back to an assignment*
