OOC

That 'board 1' link doesn't work there, Gerald. You put it in as http://http://www so it's screwed. [img]graemlins/cake.gif[/img]

University textbooks cost about 150 bucks EACH. And on wednesday I'm joing a club that wears trenchcoats and stalks each other or something equally stupid. Sounds good. Also today I managed to get 12 coupons for $2 bottles of pump water. I have no idea how to use those.

And for chem labs you have to buy a labcoat. I (think) I can get labcoats for around $30 each, if anyone's interested.

Who's turn is it to post in hell?

Stop your crying. I can just smell jelously on your breaths. anyway you should be happy at least 2 people have lifes worth living in.

By any chance Has old frostie boy seen one of karlins angery post because i think it would be fun to hear his reactions on her veiws.

Clarke, what was in your blank post? Would you like it deleted now?

The textbook price is insane. I don't know what I'd do with a labcoat, but I think I might be in for one. If other people do then I'll go for it. A cult thing, perhaps? There isn't as much behind them as trenchcoats by any measure, but then again, either way I'm sure we look stupid, and labcoats look cheaper by a good measure.

In Hell at the moment our recent posters are locked up nice and tightly, and I believe posts they have put in there have been modified to the point where they made no lasting impression of any kind. The biggest, if any impacts on the story are thus:
There is one less room to be used out of the unknown amount we already had. It has a locked door and probably won't be mentioned again.
A couple of men could be occupied, but there seem to be a few more anyway.
There is a bike outside, and possibly a gun or two.

You said there was someone in the room with you, and assumed it was me. I don't think it would help anything if it wasn't me, so it will be. That means that I might be next up in the posting order, though as we're not in the same area as the others it can be delayed for a little if need be. I'll get there next time I log on.
If someone beats me to the punch feel free to kidnap me on my way back in with the unconscious Frost and be the person in the room, locking me up or whatever is necessary.


The book being handed around has agitated me a little. Martin has helped me come to accept that it isn't my story anymore, but I keep thinking of it in terms of me being the thread author and having my thread direction thrown off. I'll get over it, though "Russ Smith Jr" was a bit of a stretch.

Yeah, big ups for lab coats. I'm definately in for one. I wish bloody Chris had posted before he went away, now we are fucked until he gets back, unless we just forget about him, which might screw the thread up a bit. But with his current rate of posts it might be better if we forget him or get somebody to replace him. And now, we queue the music: *Muh Muh Muh*

I am gay

Oh goody, look who's back. Mods can ban people, right? I mean, I thought the whole point of incident was that it's exclusive to some point, if people don't role-play to our standards and/or our rules, we should kick them off our board, right? I can count at least 3 people that we don't need. And there is a point at which ooc posts become too ooc for even ooc. IMESHO.

Where'd Chris go to? and what's this book deal? I'm feeling left out.

On the topic of textbooks again, I had a go at reading my physics text last night. I realized that this is by far the single my useless 150 dollars I have ever spent in my life. And I've wasted alot of money. Allow me to give a passage:

2-3 AVERAGE VELOCITY and AVERAGE SPEED.
A compact way to describe position is with a graph of position x plotted as a function o time t - a graph of x(t). (The notation x(t) represents a function ox of t, not the product x times t.) As a simple example, Fig 2-2 shows the postion function of a stationary armadillo (which we treat as a particle) at x = -2m.
Figure 2-3a, also for an armadillo, is more interesting, because it involves motion. The armadillo is apparently first noticed at t = 0 when it is at the position x = -5. It moves torward x = 0, passes through that point at t = 3s, and then moves on to increasingly larger positive values of x.
Figure 2-3b depicts the actual straight-line motion of the armadillo and is something like what you would see. The graph in 2-3a is more abstract and quite unlike what you would see, but it is richer in information. It also reveals how fast the armadillo moves.
Actually, several quantities are associated with the phrase "how fast"....

It goes on.

The graphs it refers to are hard enough to find even if you've got the book, but basically, the first one is a linear distance/time graph for a stationary object - yes, it's just a horizontal line. The second one is if the object is moving, and has sort of a curve since it's not uniform motion. The last one is just a line with some silhouettes of an armadillo drawn on. Don't ask me why the hell they picked an armadillo, of all things, bearing in mind that stamped on the front cover is "NOT FOR SALE IN NORTH AMERICA".

So if you ever feel bad about wasting alot of money, think of how much you'll waste in the event that you ever have to purchase university-level texts.
=========
On another note, back to 'Welcome to Hell'. Clarke, is it good if I put myself in as your rival (or one of your rivals) in some respect? Basically, I'd be a slightly rank, but different department. Then Gerald technically answers to us both, but you can still do as you please. You're more of a renegade who actually does real work, I'm more of a uniform who makes decisions and represents high authority or something. Essentially, I don't like you and you don't like me, and you'd be involved in some sort of personal profit-making venture while on an official mission. Gerald, of course, doesn't know about this, and does as he's told (or maybe he doesn't).

Feedback?

sOUNDS GOOD. When I figure out my caps lock, I'll post properly.

How's about I'll tell Gerald some crap and you can decide his next course of action, lit. Trust Clarke or trust Tiberius. For this to work, Clarke will have to get away from Chris and co. to talk to Gerald, but given Chris' current situation, I don't think that'll be much of an issue.

Another interesting thing happened to day that I forgot to mention earlier. You guys still get annoyed at your fire drills, right?

Picture this. You're sleeping soundly after staying up too late being a dickhead with randoms in your hall, and you have a 9am math lecture. At 6 fucking 30 int the morning a massive alarm bell starts ringing. What's going on?
Fire drill. At 6;30 A-fucking-M. And too many people (people, like me,) screwed it up so I think we have to do it again. Please not tonight. It's really not funny.

Fire drills have finally become serious.

The music we refer too (And now, we queue the music...) actualy comes from 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.' It is in a scene about 20 minutes in when he is talking to Brodie in the comic book store. From memory, weren't you the one who downloaded that, Gerald?

Chris has gone off to Band Camp, along with Martin, though his absence will be less noticeable.
It's down somewhere north of Hamilton, in a place that begins with an R. Raglan, I think. Someone told me a bit under an hour ago, but I can't remember. Damien Wilkinson and I had some guessing games at school and came up with lots of wrong names like Remuera, Raurimu and Rororua and the like, but processes of elimination don't work so well on that large a scale when you're working from an already proven imperfect name remembering brain. Or something.
They'll be back Friday afternoon.

Clarke, post a link to the song. I haven't actually heard it, and I'm not sure if you people are giving us an accurate rendition.

I don't know what the story is with Sakalas, but I'm deleting the "I am gay" from Hell. If he posts again we'll deal more swiftly with him than the last lot. Seathia and wife have been banned.

We might have to leave discussion of The Book to email messages. PMs on here don't look very useful, and it's not something we might want our banned users from reading through.


You could perhaps be an element of the big official people that Clarke is telling people he's acting under. He could even officially be under that by you guys, but I agree he's in it for a more personal gain type thing. Someone proposed the thing you were couriering could have been a handheld nuclear explosive, and people laughed. Perhaps it was meant to blow a hole in the ground where the New World was located for the Dwellers to live in. This begot the pun "The needs of the individual are outweighed by the needs of the hole."

However, I don't think you (being all official and all) would do that sort of thing. I think that puts you further on Chris' side than Clarke and I are. Gerald is pretty confident in Clarke and his loyalty, but I'm not sure how that stacks up if Clarke defies an order presented by Tiberius or whomever he happens to be representing. It could be like when Obi Wan tags along with Qui Gon even when he goes against the ideas of the Jedi Council.

I found some bots for quake that apparently work in QW (and thus FuhQuake), but I haven't tested them yet. However, all of the TF bots I've found are NetQuake / normal Quake only, so that pretty much rules them out. I'm not going back to software any time soon.
