w00t w00t! M00 B4$h emergency - yay or nay?

I'm sorry if this time is bad, but I hope you can all come. Closer to the time we will need to have a definite RSVP but at least when we see that enough people plan on going you can start buying your tickets and arranging your transportation. Keep in mind that if you have a car and want to drive you might want to see if another MOOer lives on your way or close enough because then you can share costs. I'm sure we can all help each other get there and it will be an awesome party!

We are going to send out invitations to your email address once we know more details but for now we wanna make sure this really happens, ok?! Cool!

So, please do me the favor of sending your email address and what player you are to [email protected]. Also please state how certain you are that you will be able to go. Even if you're just interested, I can send you an invite but it would be nice to know. That way I can know how to send it to you. Totally l33t! Ok thanks everyone.

From Desolate and Athena (cause now I'm helping too)

When we know what events are planned and what the cost will be, we'll let everyone know. Just please send email me [[email protected]] if you even want this INFO when it is available.

I cannot afford that. I was under the impression that fares were much cheaper when you booked it more than 2 weeks in advance…

Jesus, Travelocity, people. I can get from here (Montreal) to Chicago, two-way, for ~280.

That said, if I get the job I'm waiting on an answer for, I'll most probably be there.

Tango is the devil. Fly Westjet.

25th eh? I'll have to see how things at work shape up, then I'll know. If it is a go for me, then maybe Bias and I can hook up and drive down. Cheaper than a flight…

I dunno...bug me in 3 weeks.

Finn is moving to Hawaii?

Um….

To those who live in year-round warm weather climates I have the following available:

1 (one) extremely talented and highly motivated systems/network/security architect (with family) willing to relocate to the right place.

Hawaii, Bermuda, cool.  Australia (do we have anyone who domes down under?) fine.

SoCal - neh.

Other warm weather locales - could be!

I'm looking out the window of my office on April 23rd and it's snowing.  Not alot mind you, but there's just something wrong with that.

Lock up yer daughters, the Brits are coming… or something equally rampant.

Alright, then, someone bring some Star Trek (original series) music, I'll try and bring the gladiator gear.

:cheesy:

Either Kevlar or Rastus has to be Shatner, and that one has to take his shirt off, the other one gets to be a Klingon. So decide now, the klingon must have a goatee at least, vandyke preferred.

I suppose with my hair, I gotta be the klingon.

I'l stop shaving…

-Kevlar

I just can't … picture ... Rastus ... talking ... like this.

I put my money on the skinny fucker! *snickers*

Your so mistaken! When else am I gonna have a once in a lifetime opertunity to do battle in a klingon costume with Ross dressed as William Shatner?!

That I wouldn't miss for the world. Nothing hostile about it.

-Kevlar

;)

-Kevlar

Umm, oyea, and remember Johnny, it's almost two years since you saw this "skinny fucker".

Um Ross, the last time I saw a picture of you, you were scruffy faced, wacked hair and looked to be about 25 pounds. You mean to tell me that you put on weight?

How. I can't gain weight for the life of me:(

Course, I'm no overnight lardy, but at least I'm not jutting bones and xylophone ribs anymore ;) Infact, this whole "fleshy" feeling is quite disturbing for me… Buying a rowing machine next week, gotta get this blubber into shape.

Unless of course you're an admin, then I gotcha already. Later gatorz,
Athena

Heh, well, if what I'm being told by people I consider to be reliable sources is true then, infact, I'm perfectly correct in doubting your sincerity. But meh, it'd have been fun.

Anyhow, I trawl that up as an aside, the reason for this post was actually to let people know that "due to unforseen circumstances" I won't be able to make it to the bash. Sorry to let people down and all that jazz, I was -so- looking forward to experiencing Kev's "sincerity" first hand. Maybe next year?

…and for god's sake, Kev, fix that fucking typo in your page message.

As for egos. You seem to mistakenly believe that I'm not aware of the egotistical content of my posts rather than consider it may be a chosen style of prose. At least one of us can happily admit that they portray themselves as a complete prick for a reason and that, judging by the feedback I get, it's largely enjoyed as it is intended to be.

Anyone understand the concept of just leaving shit in the past? No? For two highly intelligent people, you think such a simple task would be...well, simple.

If that is too much to handle, there's always the option of taking spats to IM, which for an Admin and ex-Admin, shouldn't be a difficult issue, considering how much they say it to players.

You know what? As someone who gets to sit by and listen to the subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle bitching that goes around, I'll say this: No-one really gives a steaming pile of shit which one can seem wittier or more intelligent here, or whom can come off more-or-less egotistical.
Rastus: I've only heard bits and pieces, but you fucked up. Not saying we all haven't, but it was bad enough you got dropped, and still haven't returned, at least to my knowledge. I hate saying this to anyone, but get over it. Nothing's apparently going to change. I'm not even sure if there's a horse left as much as this one's been beaten.

Yeah, I know the whole "Lotus, you haven't heard the full story, blah blah blah..." but this is really just getting annoying.
There, I'm done.

(Note to self..weekly rant...check.)

I know I already replied to this, but it was late, I was going to bed, I wasn't really in the mood, etc, so I just brushed it off… Here's what I really meant to say...

You have a point. Several even, and in principle I can't fault them but it isn't going to change things. Why? Well, with all due respect (and I sincerely mean that part), I don't give a flying fuck what you think... UNLESS... and this is the clincher, because I'm giving you an unless. Unless you're one of ye olde admin from times gone by who's opinion I'd respect, if not agree with. Unless I'm walking on the foundations of what -you- built, your delicate sensibilities don't concern me.

Chances are I was here before you, I'm still here now and I'll sure as fuck still be here when you've moved on. For a good length of time, Sindome was my home. Not just a hobby, not just a past-time, but a passion. Call that what you like, sad, pathetic, Bob, I don't much care. I enjoy the creative process, I enjoy RP, I enjoy writing and I enjoy feeling intellectually stimulated (oral stimulation is good too, but that's a whole 'nother thread). Only a very small number of people will know the kind of dedication to the game I'm talking about. I doubt any of you can begin to come close to the time I put into the game, either actively working on it or simply being 'present'. My relationship with Sindome outlasted my marriage and has seen me change career three times over five jobs. As a virtual home it's outlasted four RL homes and while I've become bored and jaded by porn, Sindome can still be fresh, nubile and moist.

For over two years I poured my life into Sindome, it wasn't always fun, it wasn't always happiness, but it was always rewarding. Obviously things have changed, but no way, no how am I walking away from something I put that much effort in to. I don't always agree with the direction it's taking, I don't like certain things that are happening, but I'm not turning my back on it.

Things have happened, ships have sailed, wars have been fought and the (Sindome) world keeps on turning. The clear facts are that, under the current climate, I'm never going to be a welcome part of this community. I'm past caring about that. I'm "over it", as you put it. Long over it. But I'm not leaving. I've been too much a part of it to ever turn my back, no amount of re-coding, rebranding or "thematic cleansing" is going to change that.

So, unfortunately for you, I'm going to stick around and do what I do, occasionally answering things on these forums, discussing the game with various people and keeping myself entertained with the n00b. Can't stand the flak? Stay out of the firing line. No-ones forcing you to read it. Maybe you can get your mommy to pre-screen the forums for you, cut out all the 'offensive content'.

Y'know, I write these posts and I just know no-one cares, everyone wishes I'd just shut up, etc, etc. But still I post... it's oddly satisfying.

Y'all should get Johnny to update that old-ass poll on the main page...

Rastus should be: banned, shot, ass-raped, worshipped, all of the above.

I'd tune in at least once a week to pelt him with bread, very small pebbles, ducks and witches while he's on the soapbox. It's be a blast. Rastus Rants and more! Give me MOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!

As for the new poll: All of the above...I guess.....not very good choices I'd say though. Though the anal rape would be slightly amusing until somebody started enjoying it. Then it'd just be kinda...nasty....*shudders* and Banning doesn't help anything, then I don't get to read Rastus rants. Shooting him might be hoot if we gave him a head start.....Hmmm I guess worship would be my answer...though, I don't really worship anybody but me.

Give me better choices damn it!

and I vote for Rastus Rants and more!

i'm visiting chicago as it is over the summer, so  that's just uhm… rad. :P

I'm sure there's something to do here.

...just haven't found what yet...

Indiana, represent!

…
I hate it here.
