    well I'm a barman in real life... does that help?

    :o:p :cool: :)

    I'll be the fat one...
    :p

    I used to be a door man in a job before, so along with my Mod duties (in the offices or whatever it is), I'll kick people out after the Admins have let rip with Lightning Bolts and the likes :)

    Either that, or I'll be the guy who has to keep shovling charred carcases (they displeased the Admins - and those Admins sure like their Lightning Bolts) onto the furnace to keep the heat on...

    LOL Keep it coming, keep it coming.

    Madge, yes you get your say. I don't want this to be a project that hasn't had input from the Boards members. However you want the bar / staff, let me know.
    this is going to be one fu<ked up apartment block.
    the bar is inside an elevator.
    gods live on the top floor prob in the penthouse suite, not the magazine for those of you with dirty minds
    trolls run around making annoying people
    then the place gets over run by muppets.
    and a panda wants to be a bouncer

    This is the point - It's meant to be all out '****ed up', yet still have the feel of Boards!

    Bard, how about a recently fired Bar Tender in said elevator who is drinking sorrows away, and violently attacking people with a banjo?

    Im shredding this apartment block into a rake of Boardsish lands, where all the moderators are leaders of said chunks, and rarely visit any other locations... It is the muppets that draws them together to battle the charging muppah!

    Dev has, unfortunately for him, been turned to physical form in order to do a door to door check of the place, and has no godly powers other than his Pink Umbrella Of Much Administration, which requires beating said victim over the head 12 times to ban'ish him to where ever. He could simply go to the roof ala the elevator, but madge wont let him thus he must join the fight while daddy cloud on the roof top is building new offices on the apartment with regi saying oops a lot!

    More idea's please.


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


    How do the Muppets get in. There has to be a route that can be found just at the last minute to stop the ever increasing tide. Possibly through a portIOL in the basement somewhere. Also need a BOAJ (Butt of all jokes), that could be their name I suppose. Bounty hunters too, who get money for each muppet that is snared (evidence will be charred right baby toe of said offender).

    Anything usable ???


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


    The initial idea was to have portal at the very base of the building, yes, and it got overrun before anyone could do anything about it. PortIOL, I like that - Nice!

    No Bounty Hunters, although their is a little baiting later on by a select few characters :):D

    I'll be a piece of rope who drinks :D

    Hey now Dem, there'll be none of that.

    Look guys, If Im going to have any of ye in it then I'll need slightly sane idea's.

    I wont have talking ropes, ventilation shafts that communicate with you, big **** off mountains (In an apartment block, are you nuts) and the likes...

    On the other hand, witches, sorcerers, warriors, fantasy creatures such as basilisks (ME), Ogres, Trolls, Pixies, Gnomes, Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Vampires, Plantlife, Golems etc etc etc are acceptable... Nothing that can't live in an apartment block (i.e Big **** off Dragons, Giants etc)


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


    Here's a very detail'less example:

    Dev stormed through the hallway, eyes and nostrils flaring.
    After his brief encounter with the newcomer, his patience and tolerance had been drained to the point where simple conversation was impossible - and he now needed something to quench his vastly growing frustration. There seemed to be two valid options.

    He could either seek out and verbally destroy a perfectly innocent bystander in the hope of gaining some satisfaction, or try to find a local bar and drink his emotions to oblivion. Being a god with morals, the first option was not available to him, unless of course he could find a means to get drunk first. That way, there was always a valid excuse for undertaking such devastating actions.

    There didn’t seem to be any around, so the last option would be to take the elevator up to the rooftop and report this mess to Cloud Nine. After finally finding one, he jabbed the button angrily. The doors opened and he strolled in to the sight of a large, oval shaped room, half of which was comprised of an immensely large bar that lined the far wall. This was pretty strange for the inside of an elevator! The doors slid to a close behind him and it certainly felt as if the room was escalating. If Dev was going to question the logic behind this phenomenon, he may as well do so with a few drinks in him. The Boarder was a HUGE place, and the ride up to the rooftop was more than likely going to be a long one anyway - And what better way to spend the journey than in a barely explainable, illogical, multidimensional elevator bar.
    There were two people in the elevator also - one of the occupants was the barkeeper, the other being a slumped over figure of a man who had the look of someone well traveled. This particular person seemed to be violently punching a banjo whilst muttering various obscenities under his breath, which were thankfully drowned out by the banjo’s sounds of protest. With little care for either person, Dev strutted to the bar, pulled up a seat and bellowed at the barkeeper for a pint.

    Every time he had taken on physical form in order to visit The Boarder, something rather peculiar and, in most cases, annoying happened. It had been a considerably long time since his last proper visit, and he had been quite looking forward to it – That was until he had been assaulted by the newcomer down in the Portal Room, who was screaming something along the lines of “ololololormflmao, you equels faeg!”
    This had been putting a dampener on Dev’s day, and he gained no satisfaction from smashing the newcomer 12 times over the head with his PUMA (Pink Umbrella of Much Administration) with which the screaming bloke was banished back to wherever it came from. Even the Trolls weren’t as bad as whoever that thing was, and this was worrying. Since The Boarder had came into existence, it was well known that if the Trolls, or even the N00b, had worked together as a group, they might have manage to become a minor or mildly aggravating problem for the gods, yet this one small encounter with the stranger had more than annoyed Dev. For a start, how the hell did such a vile specimen get into The Boarder?

    The Semi-God’s train of thought was halted at the sight of a large pint glass being expertly placed in front of him by a slender hand. The Semi-God watched as various bubbles spiraled from the base of his pint to the surface, where they went *BOK*. That’s what this place is like, he thought, you start at the bottom and work your way up, quietly – You don’t just walk in and start bleating!
    Finally, his vision was diverted from the dancing bubbles to that of the bartender, with which he downgraded from infuriated to shocked on realizing a few small details.

    There were two very distinct things that all of The Boarders inhabitants were very fond of. Alcohol seemed to be one of them, and the other was a member of the opposite sex. The Boarder, for some strange reason, didn’t house many females, and to encounter one was regarded as a fantastic spectacle, yet to come across one that actually sold alcohol would generally be regarded as a gift from heaven. This particular female was patiently buffing up a small glass and eyeing up the Semi-God with calm, yet somewhat threatening eyes.
    Dev tried to speak, but could only manage “ugnkh-?”
    The Barkeeper placed the glass behind the counter, and randomly grasped another, which she proceeded to clean, vigorously. “What?” she asked, her vision warily fixed on the stammering Semi-God.
    Dev tried to focus his energies on rearranging his vocal chords.
    “Erm, hello!” he stammered, “Nice place you got here!”
    “ 'Madgie Ebdems Mobile Embibing Emporium' to be exact, and don’t go doing anything drastic! I don’t know what you gods get up to on your little rooftop, but I want none of it here. This is a peaceful place, and I’d like to keep it that way!”
    There was an ascending, jovial and plucky sound from the corner of the room, as the slumped man hit a chord on his banjo.
    “Ooh I is much liking this, yes, yes!”
    “Shut Up Bard”, screamed Madge. The Bard obediently complied, and continued assaulting his Banjo.
    Dev looked her up and down, then left to right. She looked harmless but, judging by those piercing eyes, she more than likely had something very un-harmless under the bar. It didn’t take long for Dev to realize that it would be best to focus on his pint.

    Oh and don't forget yer weapons of choice...
    I think MADJ won't complain if her character uses lumps of lighted tissue stuck into the end of a thrown bottle of "Jock Daneels"?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    hee hee, funny idea!

    In that case being in the PI board I could be one of the three bakers that bake pies of helpage. Pies of personal helpage, yes. It could even be a mathematical bakery of helpage endowed suchly - The bakery of 22/7 (open 22 hours a day seven days a week) or "The anonymous bakery of A over r-squared" or T.a.b.o.a.r.s' Bakery. (*ahem). Now this bakery would be situated near the bar of ... whats it called again, I'm a bit pissed I cant pronounce it. And the bar would be a foreplace or an afterplace of visiting the bakery. People would buy pies of helpage and woe and then totter off to the bar to ponder over and let their mind meander through the meade and pie of helpage filling and crust (mmm). Or vice versa, the bakery offering cold goods as well as hot would be the after sob of sorrow sustainance, the "kebab shop of the Boarder" if you please. Just be careful not to bring your drink into the bakery little mupps or the trolls will come along and steal it away from you. Likewise hopefully not will be the case of bringing pies of helpage into the lift, foyer and bar and forecourt as any crumbage that may happen would magically disappear into the shaggy carpet base..

    As for super weapons - I would have a super duper spatula (y'know, a spatula it's what some people call a fish-slice but it most definately is NOT a fish slice!). Oh and my trusty elephant of grey is always on loan from the barkeep. The elephant is a mighty mighty weapon but nothing compared to my spatula (it's flat!)

    Oh, can the mod's be the "Droogs"!

    buggerit, millenium hand and shrimp.....
    didnt know that minesajd was madgie.....

    i said i wanted to be a bartender and if madgie gives the nod, then all the better,
    but if not id be more than happy to assist Kharn with the bouncering :D

    Also Kharn, who has obvious links to the humour and to the after hours boards, could dispense jokes and comedy + make wise-cracks about entering customers.

    btw : weapon of choice = large claws on meh paws, for the mauling and the gashing and what have you.....

    ps: madgie, resume in the post, for both positions. ;)

    Ooh, can i be the death of goldfish? due to my 3 second memory, i forget that i am a fish and have no legs, therefore spend most of the day attempting to walk on my fins, before collapsing in exhaustion. Due to the fact that the goldfish tend to forget they exist and disappear due to their own disbelief in their own existence, i have no actual work to do. the only reason i don't disappear is the fact that i spend most of my time trying to walk on my fins. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭TacT


    /me saunters around looking for an audition :D

    make me the secret beast of the elevator who will back up the bouncer if anything goes wrong. The elevator should stop, one of the walls changes colour there will be clanging and banging then one side of the elevator will burst open from the side, everyone screams, blood goes everywhere and they all die :)
    Nobody knew about the thing that lurked in the dark
    What was that film? The 19th Floor? :D

    pwease :cool:

    I'd be the travelling druid/bard, writing lil anicdotes and limericks about everybody else!

    Weapon o choice = bic ball point pen.


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


    Sorry to inform you guys, but the elevator and Madges Ebdidmsa;dam, thingy belongs to her now, and there shall be no more staff other than Madge herself, and her hardcore customer, Bard.

    If you want to think up other locations (Like Gordon's bakery, which isn't a bad idea - Mind altering Pie's bought in order to give the eater the illusion that everything is dandio) then feel free to do so.

    This apartment block is HUGE, so if you want a location give me your feedback. Moderators are the leaders of said offices, so it would be a lot better if mods would give me locations based on their respective board... Land of Gee for me, and my character is in two minds about his co-office worker (DrAkE) which will lead to some rather ridiculous plots and stuffs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,381 ✭✭✭klong


    I'll be a cycling, sarcastic, famine-on-legs, tweed cap wearing sorta person who appears every so often and dreams of taking over the world.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,392 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    Maybe that should have read..

    "CAN I be...." :p

    Anywho..I was thinking maybe you'd like a change o pace Bard, ya know...try something different?:D

    Hell no!

    I may be a jack of all trades (and I am...) ...- but I'll always stick with what I'm good at ;)

    In other words, I may diversify, but I still stay true to my true self.

    ... (wow...!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,392 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    maybe while you're "diversifing" Bard...I can maybe, in some small role, perhaps continue your work?

    or be a "sidekick" to you on your journeys through RopeDrinks magical world?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,311 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    Im sure all that is up to Ropey, as the author of this tome...

    but!... my work ... is my own

    For Bard NOT to be a Bard defeats the purpose of the story - All people are going to be something that will, to boards readers at least, make them go "Ahhh yes, of course..." - Bard = Bard, Admins = Gods etc

    And Yes you'll all see it once it's done - Im doing it for Boards anyway!

    Ghosts are too lame tbh, unless you want to be a Wraith?
