    Apparantly my PC is on the mend, and one of the first things Im going to do when I can is get back into writing again.

    Im going to pass some time by writing up a Boards.ie Fantasy Style story. Yes it may sound lame, but I've been thinking about it all day and by **** it's interesting despite being MY idea...

    Anyway, it's going to be based in a world that is Boards (An actual world, not a collection of places you post stuff in) and a select collection of posters are going to be put into it...

    It all boils down to a massive war against muppets (Terry Pratchett Stylee story) thingy, and whoever is in it doesn't have to be themselves... Well, tey're themselves (I'll be basing their story on their Boards personality) but you don't have to be a human if you don't want...

    If you were to be a (Non-Ridiculous) fantasy creature what would you be!? I happen to be a basilisk thank you very much...
    (This all still sounds stupid but when it's done you'll think otherwise - It's also just me wasting time in Notepad)

    Anyway, what are you?
    Dev / Cloud / Regi etc can be gods if they so wish.

    Can I be the misunderstood Muppet king, that goes in search of true love only to find a cruel and unforgiving world?

    Elf, i reckon.

    Im not nearly as evil as i'd like to be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    Wanna be a dwarf, I could even make up an anti muppet song along the lines of gold, gold, gold.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    I WANNA BE THE INNKEEPER!!!

    One of those sort of insightful types who polishes glasses a lot, offers people blunt yet effective advice as they cry their lifes problems into the beer puddles on the bar, and the kind of innkeeper who runs her establishment with an iron fist and can be occasionally seen to dip into the stock to sample that illustrious bourbon amber liquid, Jaq Danielles...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,644 ✭✭✭✭nesf


    Can I be the token drunk proping up his bar? With a bottle of Jamesons 1780 of course, damn that foreign liquid of death!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    Depends on what kind of establishment you were to be an innkeeper in. From experience the innkeepers in Pratchett books are the kind who rule with an Iron SledgeHammer (apparently better when fighting with trolls). And the only thing amber you are likely to find would probably be best used as a drain unblocker... Have you ever considered being a witch, (no offense meant) the Pratchett witches are some of the best characters he writes and Nanny Ogg does do a good line in Scumble (I think it's amber coloured, nobody who has drank any can ever remember afterwards...)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,223 ✭✭✭OLDYELLAR


    a table! jus sittin there all day , an people would`nt know if you were awake or asleep.......tables have it so handy!


  • Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 4,600 CMod ✭✭✭✭RopeDrink


    Granny WeatherWax seemed so different in Carpe Jugulum than she did in Equal Rites - Her personality just seemed reversed or something, but despite that I liked her more than Nanny Ogg.

    Anyway, the Land Of Boards is based in a floating apartment block (Rather immensely HUGE one) where all the moderators work in various rooms and haven't had the chance to meet anyone really, whilst the Admins live on their leisure house on the roof being all godly.

    Once the arrival of muppets comes, it unites all major posters for a massive flame fest, so if you want any particular qualities or weapons of choice let me know.

    Dev's weapon happens to be the dreaded 'Pink Umbrella Of Much Administration'.

    "Feet Of Clay" remains my fave TP book, followed closely by "The Colour Of Magic" and "Soul Music"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,621 ✭✭✭GreenHell


    oooh if there is going to be a death of the boards I wanna be his grumpy assistant whats his name alfred. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    Think Granny weatherwax kinda had to lose herself so that the Vamps couldn't find her. So she was a bit odd in that one. Nanny ogg was good in Maskerade. Should continue this chat on the Lit. boards, anyway, weapon of choice "The staff of sober Divination.." Or any nature of pick axe with a name that means something like "twat all those who are not drunk and not from/in Mayo....."

    A giant apartment block, you say? Hmmmm....

    I'd then like to be the proprietor of a bar based in an elevator in this floating apartment block, one of those pubs where you go in and depending what floor I stop the elevator on, you may never be able to leave.

    This elevator should also have the space constraints of the tardis please, and be called 'Madgie Ebdems Mobile Embibing Emporium', just because of how difficult that would be to say after fifteen pints of Theakstons Old Peculiar (floating dead wasp an additional 5 pence.)

    I would like to be permitted to rule said emporium with the hockey stick of divine circumcision and the vomit bucket of evil wastefulness.

    And in my bar, you can get any drink you want....

    /me's eyes light up with an unholy interest in this project

    ...bing bong... third floor, lady's lingerie and golf clubs...

    I be "teh lawnkiller". A poor misunderstood man who's ever present quest to create a machine to "mow" the "lawn" finds him a the sh1te end of ridicule from the neighbours.

    "lawn???" you may say, "in an apartment block???"

    well its not everyday you have an accident involving mutant grass seeds, 32 gallons of water and a thick and expensive wall-to-wall rug :( but accidents do happen.

    recent additions to the "machine" include those little fans u find in the pound shop("euro-saver" or whateverd'fuk its called now) for their whirring madness......

    Please?

    /me takes notes

    I'll be messing around with character profiles first.
    Madge, I'll start yours first seeing as you've given me a nice slice of information as to who you want as opposed to "A puck" :D

    Might have it up after three o clock, because I have to dash to the post office soon and I wont get to start it yet.

    You can have your elevator bar (And it's name) and weapon of choice too because they're funny, and that is what this whole project is boiling down to. Being a funny little story.


  • Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 4,600 CMod ✭✭✭✭RopeDrink


    Bard, you can be the "Light Entertainment" at said establishment - You are located in the corner of the elevator (It's one and only "Harcore Victim", singing delightful songs in a rather distasteful and drunken manner)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,257 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    me the apartment security dude :D

    hmmm, thats not a good idea, then it would be my fault all the muppets got in :(
