FYI - to all gamers

AL][EN

Will delete this thread after a few days still dont know how to use the announcement board thingy :dunno:

but as an FYI apologies for my sudden disapparance (sp?) from boards over the past week it was a friend of mine's 21st and i went to dublin for the week as work has got me all stressed out over the last week and i needed some chill out time.

ive been speaking to thaed and she's lost her net access for a while eircom are playing silly buggers and she's in a tug o war with them atm so i'll play on with her charachter in SLA so we can kick start that off tomorrow night properly. as for dragon mountain Thaed apologies but for the time being its on hold till she gets net access back,

so im going to catch up on all the posts ive missed over the last 5 days then come back tomorrow (yep im still on nites) and start playing SLA again

Thanks again for your patience guys

Squall

Specky

and paper beats rock

...mmm....never could get my head around the logic of that one....

However, Al][en on wheels....my mind is boggled.

AL][EN

just call me mad max the road warrior from now on

wild_eyed

how can i be part of this 'craic'?

AL][EN

Well at the moment the games are all sort of frozen as most of the DM's (accept me) cant start the games,

if you want to play your more than welcome to join in, there are 3 games currently being played, i dont know if you've ever played any online text based games before or even if you've ever roleplayed before so im sorry if this seem's a little simplistic.

the 3 games we have running at the mo are:

SLA Industries - Is a Sci Fi Role playing game
AD&D - Is a medevil role playing game
Specters - Is a horror game.

you can play all 3 games if you want to, the only thing we ask is that you are able to post at least once a day to keep the games running, the only game thats running at the moment is SLA industries. the other 2 games will be starting soon,

either PM me or post here which games you want to play wild eyed and i'll give you all the detail then

hope this helps and welcome to the mad house

Specky

Well at the moment the games are all sort of frozen as most of the DM's (accept me) cant start the games,

I'm actually in limbo....and damned uncomfortable it is too!

The small, sqashy pink person who moved into my house just before christmas keeps making noise and producing smells etc that need attention and it's keeping me from my duties.

Don't want to kick off the game until I can dedicate myself to it reasonable consistantly...so I am sorry to all those who are similarly in limbo.

We WILL begin the Spectres game soon and it'll be both crackingly good fun and spine chillingly terrible at the same time.

Havelock

AL][EN: Cars are just a bigger target.

Specters eh? Would love to play.

AL][EN

aaaahhh havlock but they can move faster than a normal person on foot!

yea spectors sounds like a groovy game read the storyline here

oh and for all you SLA players out there - im absoutly 100% really really serious ....... this time, i'll be posting the next game turn around 6 ish tonight i'll guarantee it*



*guarantee may not actually be a guarentee

In my game RPG beats a car every time, plus magnetic mercrey switched car bombs under the hubs or in the wheel house. Even a simple RDX baggie, shoved down the petrol tank with a chem fuse. Plus 2 feet can go up stairs and in elvators, 4 wheels pretty much fixed to roads...see? Or want a demo?

AL][EN

k so get this ive been banned from using the internet by the docs!! (all in my journal entry that im about it post)

apologies for dropping off radar for the last week i have a job interview this coming monday so ive been running around like a lunatic getting preped!!

wish me luck!!

Fortunately, this allows me to work on that GURPS game I've been meaning to try, with samurai on motorbikes, giant ants, and Mad Max chases, all set in a post apocalyptic wasteland Japan. You know it makes sense. Ninjas on bikes!

Specky

...not as much as Ninja Nuns on bikes...

I'm back from the land of chilli dogs and presidential elections (I said elections not the same word with an 'r' in it :rolleyes: ) and nothing appears to have actually happened in the game thread...mostly because Al][en has been terrorising the world with his car....shame he's not a Ninja Nun 'cos then he could terrorise the world on a bike....actually if he was post apocoyptic he could be Radio Active Ninja Nun on a bike which would be really cool....


You'll be pleased to know (I'm sure) that I spent my time in the US wisely. No, I did not spend it in seedy lap dancing bars and strip joints, nor did I spend it all drinking and riding rodeo bulls, although the opportunities were a-plenty.

No, instead I sat dutifully in my hotel room...usually from abou 4.00am when my body clock said it was time to get out of bed...and worked stoically on Spectres stuff.

So now I have piles.

Yes, piles of Spectres stuff to re-edit and shove out to your expectant little in boxes.

Yes, I did see the joke in using the word "speculate" before I left. You don't live this long with this pair of glasses without learning all the specky jokes and puns that there are, believe me.

I also wrote a little introductory story type thingy which I'm currently putting the finishing touches on which gives a sort of flavour of what may be to come. 'nother couple of thousand words to put on that before it's completely finished but may serialise it here (actually in the Spectres thread) to get around the post word limit thingy.

Otherwise....yeehaaarrr and Howdy and other such fine american expressions to you all and I'll be back in the saddle 110% pretty soon.

Thought I was being clever.:rolleyes:

AL][EN

Yaaaaaaay im allowed back on the internet again

i wasnt kidding by the way what i said i was banned, i got 3 hrs sleep a night for 8 days and sorta went a bit looney for a while (i even had a crazy cert but they made me give it back) im back with a vengance and i too also spent my time wisley getting piles and piles (no not the lumps on your bum) of SLA stuff written up and chars updated game turns figured out so once i get the early morning work outta the way let the games begin.

Squall will be happy to hear that i also got the SLA level up document done i'll be Emailing it to people come the weekend can you all PM me your Email addresses again and i'll send it to you then.

Squall

Alien was a good man, although a bit too fond of the fat frogs and women with tongue rings.

He loved to tease us by posting hede post the next game turn in a few hours then dissapear for a week. I remember this one time he told me ide recieve a particularly overdue document and im still waiting for it......awww he was a such a kidder.

Im sorry.......I cant go on


(No seriously, where the hell is everyone?)

Specky

'tis not just Al][en who must shoulder blame for this lack of gaming response. I too have been found wanting in my efforts.

Not for the want of pleasing you good people, nay, not for the want of fulfilling the destiny which has haunted my every waking moment since stepping forth from the nightmare shade that took me those many dark nights hence.

The walking, breathing shadow of my former self, I find not the energy within these frail hands to place the pen upon this pale paper to remember the foulest night of my existence. That night, so painfully remembered, brought with it visions of dread so wrought with the screams of the undead that though I know this place to be in silence my ears even now ring with their pained lament.

Pity. Oh pity those poor souls whose lives cast upon the coals of eternity to let vent those screams. Oh pity my soul to live...no, not live...to exist upon this plane so haunted with their presence.

You are right. This duty, as duty it must be, has fallen upon me. This burden is mine alone and the telling of these things can no longer delay.

Spectres will begin.

Though satan may claw the beating heart from my breast and dance with glee upon my spilled entrails it will begin!

And may god have mercy on us all......

Commissar

Ummmmm ...Oookaay ....Right .... Just what.. exactly.. have we signed ourselves up for?

Specky

I don't think I ever denied having a little bit of Zmek in me.....

.....ooer, sounds a bit saucy!

Commissar

And I don't think i've ever denied having a bit of.........

Hang on a sec...

That's not going to work, is it?

the thought of the required contortions are enough to make your mind boggle and your eyes water

If you have been reading my Journal you'll realize why i havent been on boards in a while and why i didnt get a chance to Post the next turn as i was banned from using the intenet for the whole lack of sleep thingy but ive bounced back again so gimme a few hrs n i'll try to post the next game turn..... promise..... really.... honest.....

Squall

whoops.....got put in junk mail for some reason. My apologies.

Take your time Alien, getting a job is more important (but not by much )

Commissar

If we were playing Dragon Mountain I would be a ribboned vegan with no talent for make-up, no fashion sense and a plucky attitude who answered to the name of Polly while Specky would be a three foot bundle of imbalanced hormones and gay fantasies.

Thanks for the concern AL][EN but I think I'm covered on all fronts.:p

Careful Now. You might be getting your wires crossed.

AL][EN

Alas folks i didnt get the job, oh well back to SLA then for the time being im finished at 17:30 tonight so i'll post the game turn shortly after that (will take me a while to type it up) but promise (under pain of death promise)

Squall

Hard luck Alien guess that means a few more weeks in a dank cest pool, oh and work too

Look forward to next game turn. Better browse the last one, cant remember what was going on

Specky

Hard luck Alien guess that means a few more weeks in a dank cest pool

I suspect you mean cess (sess??) pool...given who Al][en works for and what they do the thought that he works in one is really quite disturbing...

Anyway, I'd like to add my commiserations. Plenty more fish in the sea though. Keep your pecker up! (I said that "in character"....just not going to tell you which character...)

Raphael

*shudder*

Specky

Had a look at your knob Raphael. I have one very similar but not quite so shiney. Perhaps you polish yours a lot. Or perhaps you're better at polishing your knob than I am. I often try giving it a really stiff going over but it just makes my arm tired.

I asked my wife but she refused to have a go so it just sits there, grubby and covered in finger prints (not all of which appear to by mine).

Do you put anything on it or just a bit of spit?

It's obviously been well handled but I'm very impressed at how you've kept it.

Well done!

Keep it up!

AL][EN

see see next game turn's out...... your eyes do not decieve you the game commences with a 1 turn a day minimum, i'll play for Tali for now as she wont be able to post for a while. Tank PM'ed me and told me he's working crazy shifts for a while but he'll start once the game's back under way. i havent herd from havelock in a while so im not sure if he'll play or not and then that leaves you guys.

so the game should fly along. (hopefully)

Squall

Its the new company policy. They want their employees to really get a feel for their jobs, hand on experience so to speak.

(Oh and WOOT!!!! new game turn)

Specky

........................................................................


that long pause was while I picked myself up off the floor in shock.

I think I'm traumatized now.

A SLA game turn, about as common as a tub of Utterly Butterly in Al][en's company canteen...

Is it me or did anyone else just get one of those de ja vu moments.....?

Squall

Ah yes IE6, gotta love it. Its really great since that new patch. Really it is.......im not being sarcastic I swear........oh my look my default bowser has just become firefox...........


AHHHHHHH!!! IT STILL PERSISTS. DAMN YOU MICROSOFT WHAT HAVE YOU DONE......DENIED MY ONE VENT, THE VERY THING THAT KEPT ME SANE...........................

(Cant post on boards properly )

Specky

DENIED MY ONE VENT, THE VERY THING THAT KEPT ME SANE

You have a vent? Intriguing...

Hey don't knock Microsoft, without them Ireland wouldn't be the biggest exporter of software in the world....mind you, if the software did what it was supposed to people wouldn't need to keep upgrading and possibly wouldn't need to keep re-buying stuff off Microsoft and hence Ireland would no longer be the biggest exporter of software in the world...

...hmmm, so Microsoft is actually doing the Irish economy a great service. Yay Bill! Bill for king of Ireland ('cos I reckon we need a king).

Squall

You have a vent? Intriguing...

Doesnt everyone? I thought it was a pretty standard human trait.......

I say we vote Tux the linux penguin for king, just to piss off Bill Gates

Specky

Doesnt everyone? I thought it was a pretty standard human trait.......

I was in character again...the existance wasn't intriguing, just the thought of it....

OOC - shudder...not sure which character is more disturbing to play..

I say we vote Tux the linux penguin for king, just to piss off Bill Gates

Not sure how well it would work though. President of Namibia comes on state visit, Tux required to shake hand...oh dear, wibbly flipper gives the wrong impression.

Later at state banquet President of Namibia asks Tux to pass the hors d'ourves....oh dear what's this? A bowl of sprats?? International incident!!

Hmmmm I can see how that might cause problems. Still women love him, thats gotta count for something

All hail emperor Tux (see better than a king) leader of the free world, thy will be done.

International incident's!! pah emperor tux cares nothing for International incident's for he will crush his advsery's with his mighty......... err flipper ..........

Specky

It's something about the way they walk, just can't put my finger on it though....if I waddle around like a twat it doesn't seem to impress anyone...

Specky

...and smelling like fish doesn't seem to go down at all well with the ladies...


tee hee..I said "go down" and "ladies" in the same sentence...phnar....

Squall

hmmmmmm, it must be the flippers then
