Ah, yes yes. Welcome welcome. Quite a few of you here so early.
The contest shalln’t start until September. Strict contractual requirement by our generous sponsors at Landau Enterprises.
Until then, feel free to play badminton, visit elsewhen, greet contestants as they arrive, and you know <-jazz hands-> mingle.
One encounters such charming things upon entering the void
Well clearly that violated the TOS.
By which, of course, I mean The Original Series
What doth thou imply?
My dear Commander, is there something you may have inferred from my rambling musings?
Captain Kirk has a death warrant in 12 systems for his repeated violations of the Prime Directive.
It’s not a topic for polite company.
Ah, Commander Riker, you have been on Weatherby for too long: Admiral Kirk has been acquitted.
It was a haunted chair, all along, responsible for the ship’s *Grim Reputation."
What? Some of you don’t know about my contest?
I’ve been invited to preside over this contest every year since 1781 in all corners of the known systems. Landau Enterprises has graciously offered to host this year’s contest at to the Royal Academy of Weatherby.
Here’s is the synopsis from The Guide.
And here’s the bathroom reader version. It’s longer, for those times when you need more reading material.
It is my lifelong goal to eliminate foul smelling wind, to rid the galaxy of bad asses.
And then, we shall all fart proudly.
Dr Franklin, my good fellow, greetings from the void! Many thanks for the invitation - I had a feeling something was in the works. Well, something besides the memoirs I’m composing about my recent adventures with a few fine gentlemen.
Looking forward to what I know will be another fantastic quest.
I KNOW.
KNOW
Yes, I find that unusual as well.
Hi everyone. I want to give you an update on this situation.
There is a group of people who are playing games both here and in other online outlets. Some users are referencing conversations taking place outside of this forum.
I hupdated the tag on this to games so help clarify things.
I’ve been in touch with people involved in this thread. One person made a joke that went sideways and hit the wrong way to the person it was intended for, and then the rest of us were tots confused because the user who was upset was a stranger to most of us.
There is a user posting with several accounts, so you are seeing a lot of new or little used accounts popping in.
So people are aware, we do have a flag set for sockpuppet accounts and can see when users come in under multiple user IDs.
I’m continuing to track this situation.
You have reasons to be suspicious, but this is sort of nails on the chalkboard to me at the moment.
When one considers the very origins of how this site even came into existence, indeed I do.
And as anyone even remotely familiar with me knows, I’m very cynical and suspicious by nature.
That said, I might be a tad less wary if one of these “new-to-me” accounts had not immediately gone so far off the rails. So it’s up to the rest to now ‘show and prove’ their benign intent, via their consistent good faith behavior.
I’ll quit derailing now; to everyone who chooses to play, enjoy your game.
Feeling unknown
And you’re all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I’ll make you a believer
Has a new game started? I got a new user notification for Agents of Badass.
