Its Too Quiet.

Havelock · 23-07-2003 10:07am #1

Something is afoot, no good new posts in weeks. Why is this? What is wrong with all you people? No mad on-line re-enactments of famous discworld scenes, no Guild Set ups. Tut-tut, this is the problem with the masses they never know what they are missing.

Thanx 4 The Fish · 23-07-2003 10:28am

The guilds are being set up, I suppose it is up to the patrician to find out about them rather than to whine about not knowing where they are to be found ........;)

Whatever would your mother think of you...

Sarky · 23-07-2003 12:20pm

How about calling for a private forum for the Elucidated Brothers of the Ebon Night, or whatever that cult waas called?

ozt9vdujny3srf · 23-07-2003 12:24pm

Ugh, thre are far too many sekrit societies on boards, but if there were to be one, i'd go for either the beggars guild or the guild of assasins. I like the alchemists but its all a bit hazardous.

Nevyn · 23-07-2003 5:49pm

The Witches dont need a guild

MarVeL · 23-07-2003 7:51pm

A guild of witches would be far more hazardous than a guild of alchemists. It'd start with "what she said about her" and end with "well what will we do with all the bodies". 3 is the only number :-)

Thanx 4 The Fish · 24-07-2003 9:03am

Ya couldn't really have a guild of witches, the three in a coven hardly get on with each other, could you imagine them lumped in with other witches.....

Havelock · 24-07-2003 10:11am

I am passing a law, to prohibit more than 3 witches being in the same room at the same time. (was going to pass one to prohibit a guild, but that would just cause them to start up one)

I know where all the guilds are. I sit on 3 of their boards of governers.

Bodies are always easy. (To get rid of, just lump them into the shades)

Thanx 4 The Fish · 24-07-2003 10:20am

Not as easy as it used to be now that gargoyles are watching the streets from above. Kind of CCTV...

Sarky · 24-07-2003 7:28pm

Pay them enough pigeons, and every gargoyle will eventually look the other way...

AL][EN · 26-07-2003 1:12am

Not too worried about the gargoyles really, it Sargent Detritus you have to be worried about these days he scares me!!!

Sarky · 26-07-2003 12:42pm

Ah, but he can be extremly confused by telling the truth.:)

bozzie · 27-07-2003 3:18am

yeah or outright denial kinda derails him as well

still cpl downspout is a worrying development in night time survailence and he's not too easily bribed either

AL][EN · 28-07-2003 2:50pm

So what your saying is if you tell a lie to Detritus you get accused of being guilty and if you tell the truth to Detritus you get accused of being guilty?

Well cpl downspout cant be everywhere now can he! there's only so much a gargoyle can do!

superconor · 28-07-2003 8:39pm

lol, the logic of ahnk-morpork...

i thought sgt. detritus could be easily confuzzled by barking at him "i command you to ignore me!"

on the subject of guilds, i was wondering if there would be reason behind getting a secret society around one of the guilds?
sure barely anyone but a few fans come in here anyway!:p

but if we do, i vote it be the assasins guild, or the Unseen University.

The sound of cackling is heard echoing arround the chamber of rats.

a missive arrives.

IT details that the anual Ramtops witching contest will this year be held in Anhk MorPok, to foster new realtions wiht witches from all over the Disc.

Chowley · 30-07-2003 11:47pm

Just read the Silmarilion and now started on Pot Planet by Brian Preston.Im going to order a book called Romance of the Three Kingdoms tomorrow and after I read that it will be the Lord of the Rings, yet again.So I will be busy for a while.:D

echomadman · 31-07-2003 11:47am

it will be a bit quiet untill the newest installment in the discworld series comes out,

Stands to reason.

I mean it's not like we're all pathetic fanboys(and girls), who sit around on computers all day......... is it...............

er...

AL][EN · 31-07-2003 5:42pm

....................er no your absoutly right its not like we all sit around in front of this little box waiting for some hint of what the next book will be about.....................

I've forgotten what the sun looks like!!!

Sarky · 01-08-2003 12:31am

I just remembered I offered to pretend to be the Bursar on one of the first threads, and I have been woefully neglecting of my duties.

So, to address this situation:

Ahem.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Mr. Jelly! Good so with the trifle!

*falls over*

Chowley · 01-08-2003 12:41am

now a bit of backwards talking would be nice and if you neglect to take your pills twould be good.

Sarky · 01-08-2003 1:03am

Plum sauce! Plum sauce! Five groats for your finest shoes, if I may!

Chowley · 01-08-2003 5:37am

Wolf · 01-08-2003 5:43am

AL][EN · 04-08-2003 2:26pm

Sarky · 04-08-2003 2:36pm

I would take the goldfish for a walk every day.

AL][EN · 04-08-2003 4:24pm

you promise to put him back in the bowl afterwards?

Sarky · 04-08-2003 4:38pm

A suffusion of yellow, perhaps. Trousers!:D

jongore · 04-08-2003 8:23pm

The new book is Monstrous Regiment.

Synopsis

It was a sudden strange fancy, and now Polly Perks, in her brother's clothes and her hair cut off, has joined up to fight for her country. But who is the enemy? What is she really fighting for? War teaches you a lot, she finds, when it turns out that you joined the Monstrous Regiment.

echomadman · 04-08-2003 8:27pm

worst cover ever

006001315X.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

good lord i hope thats an american release, I dont thinki'd like that cover nestling in beside my other discworld books

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 04-08-2003 10:06pm

oh dear jesus no

Chowley · 05-08-2003 3:12am

OH DEAR JESUS

What has happened to the normal style of cover?

ozt9vdujny3srf · 05-08-2003 3:47am

oooh frick, odd though, they only just changed the style of the covers.

AL][EN · 05-08-2003 8:54am

oh good god no!!! thats a terrible cover!! that might be for the US release tho as the covers for the DW books are always different!!

If it isnt though I'd almost tippex over the cover and doodle my own (stick man) artwork on it as the cover is that bad!!

Havelock · 05-08-2003 9:07am

I thought the cover of Night Watch and The Last Hero were the new way, oh the one on Amazon is horrible, so horrible.

Anyway, the Topic of A secret Socity should be a tread of its own. Unless we want it to be a secret, secret socity and only mention it here deep in the random old threads .

My vote would be for Assassins as well. Ninjas, ha what silly little english men, I fart in their general direction. But wouldn't object to the Alchamists or if we have enought attractive female members or men who will wear drag, the Guild Of Seemstress.

Not too becoming of the Patrician, but who am I to argue? Carry on, and I'll just stay away from the scorpion pits, shall I?:)

Havelock · 05-08-2003 9:28am

Since I was not given the honour to mod this page I am not really the Patrician here, and yes. if one was to mention to much any presumed flaws or blantent opinions you may be given a long sight seeing tour of the mime holding area and get to experiance my hospitality.

Anyway MP'sFC is quite quotable.

TheSonOfBattles · 27-08-2003 5:40pm

Oh, can I be the librarian in that case, cause all i'd have to do, is drop in everynow and again, throw some peanuts, and say ookkk!! a lot, with varying degrees of exclaimation.
You know it's bad when you've got an ookkk!!!! with four exclaimation marks at least.

Havelock · 28-08-2003 7:59am

ook?
Ook ook, ook ook ook ook ook ook Ook?
Ookk!

Havelock · 28-08-2003 8:03am

Oh and welcome TheSonOfBattles, hope you like it here.

TheSonOfBattles · 28-08-2003 8:12am

You robbed my line damn you, I was gonna say

"ook?
Ook ook, ook ook ook ook ook ook Ook?
Ookk!"

You bugger!!!

And yes, someplace where everyone argues like petulant children, and will never admit they're wrong.
Yes, feels like UU already

Havelock · 28-08-2003 8:22am

Do you know what means?

TheSonOfBattles · 28-08-2003 8:32am

Not a clue!!

But it sounds funny.

Enlighten me, oh great one?

If you keep using language like that, you'll have to wear the nice shiny collar with 'Pongo' on it again:D

TheSonOfBattles · 28-08-2003 9:16am

Now that's just plain underhanded and nasty.

Just so long as you don't use the M word though, and pay me in peanuts, i'll be okay with the collar, if it means I can roam the wild mountains and country (i.e. the library) free.

Havelock · 28-08-2003 9:16am

If you don't understand it you can't be the librarian, shame we were hoping for a good librarian. Here's a competition, the person who gets closest to what it meant or the funnist translation gets the title of Librarian. I'll even make a Sig pic to go with it as a prize for the winner. You all have till the 1st of September. Ook ook! (Good luck)

Its Too Quiet.
