Hows about something less serious?
Like the beach idea, but more specific. Like a camping ground in the middle of summer? PPl always meet at camping grounds.
Like i said, i'm new to this...so i'm not too sure what i'm talking about, i just felt i should add my two cents worth.

I guess that finding a happy medium between "the brady bunch" and *tries to think of a violent tv program she's watched* "the soprano's"? (never watched it, but it looks bad enough). Anyway, you know what I mean.

Finding a happy medium betweent he two may be difficult, especially if we have grown attatched to the characters we have created.

However, if we try and make it work properly, I reckon that a campsite thing will work. if we decide we are not all going to be drug-dealers who use the camping grounds as our base, and begin gang-wars in the site. and if we decide we are not all going to be girl-guides/boy-scouts.

hey, whoever jumps in on my thread first:

please make it something where the story can go somewhere, so the other charactors can get in on it.

yea know?

The beach around Lake Taupo at New Year's Eve had a lot of young people bumbling around

did anyone save the old carpark thread? i wanna copy

I think Martin did save all the posts... he could upload them onto his site, and provide a download link...

I think we should endever to make the story stretch through multipule scenes, to maximise its potential... doez that sound flash or wot?
But really we should make it spread to more than one place, eg: somone try luring Axle away from his house, and make a new thread.

btw the cool artwork is from :

says the man... WHO HASN'T POSTED ANYTNING &!!!!!!!$$*($#&#*(

Coudl someone make a whole bunch of new threads, so that we can build up some character relationships. Or coudl people privately message each other, and decide what the character's are going to be to each other. Otherwise, people are going to be punching each other at any sign of a previous relationship. Could i perhaps suggest (although i am one of the beach thread brady bunch), that some people decide to be nice to each other? its no fun, otherwise.

It's a great thread, Axle. it's already building, ah, relationships.

Careful what you do, I think the forum's still under it's monitoring period. Also, I'm trying to get some little girls to join... then again, you haven't done anything illegal yet.

This restart thing hasn't exactly started a posting frenzy, has it?

I'll start another thread or two or three and see which ones people pick up, if no-one does anything soon.

I saved all the old posts. I can put them up somewhere, sometime. Or you can just ask for them when you see me.

ROFL

just delete the damned thread already martin, lol

Hee hee hee

The new topic on the other side of town is not intended to inspire the action hero in all of us, it is just some place for stoners to hang out. If you dont like it we can think of something way more origional, as 11 pm some weird ideas come out. Have fun anyway.

I'm Whupping Clarkes ass! Ph34r my 1337 Haxx0r Skillz0rs Biz4tch!

I know Kung Fu

"The new topic on the other side of town is not intended to inspire the action hero in all of us, it is just some place for stoners to hang out."

ROFLMAO.

I'm sorry guyz... but it must b said, incident is dead.... but i'll make 1 last attempt to save it... [img]frown.gif[/img]

Incident is not dead, but that sorry excuse for a pathetic human being known as clarke anderson soon will be. also, I've heard that two carruthians are joining the board. it's not dead at all.

It has been said that television gives you square eyes, but that is only the case for some types of TV shows. Other styles have different symptoms.

Chris Wesley, open your slanted eyes and see the truth - nothing good is posted, and Incident is indeed dead.
In accordance with prophecy.

PS, if you weren't sure what this was all about, he watches Anime in excess.

i just found another bug... but I went and undid what I did, so if you had trouble posting last night it's all fix now

Whats this about me watching anime in excess? I dont watch TOO much, just cos i bought a couple of Cowboy Bebob DVDs, and i have all of love hina, and...

Stuff you.

I recon that martin should upload the old parking lot thread, and the RULES!!

p.s Cowboy bebop rocks!!!!!

I'll put them on a website some time, when I'm not lazy and not busy... will that do?

Argh. You don't know how torn I am between becoming a nice, friendly participating member of this board and ripping it apart at the seams and making everyone hate me.
I think I will just stay quiet for now and not do either. (I am actually just a lazy bum that can't be bothered visiting regularly, but a billion Chinese people will wake up tomorrow and say "Foo Cares?")

How many times have we all passed that first post on the thread? Has nobody the guts to pass comment? Here goes!!!

SETH LEARN TO FU*KING SPELL!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

There, does everyone feel better now? I sure do. Time to eat some cake to calm down.

Hey, Nora, there's a slight problem with our thread. It's nothing too major, just we seem to post ages apart. I'm on the internet almost every Friday and Saturday, during the week is anybody's guess, depending on what kind of mood my parents are in.

Post a reply soon, tell me when you're on mostly, and we'll try to work out some days that we can both go on and hopefully the thread will progress faster.

I'm on later Friday night, Saturday evening, and at fairly random intervals during the week. And when I come on, I sometimes forget to check here...I'm still getting used to adding another site on to my 'check every time you come online' list.

I think that Friday night is the safest bet, of the nights. It is really the one night of the week when my parents do not care how late I stay awake. That sound ok? Although I would imagine that things will still progress during the week. Just not as quickly.

(this week was a bad week, if you are referencing the lack of posting recently. I do usually check more often.)

Just a note to Nora again: I'm keen for a lift in Clarke's car, I just thought I'd get your opinon first.

Chris, please read all the posts (specificaly one of my latest comments on the other side of town) before getting into the car. Also, I know that chick is not your type. I know that Martin is more your type. Perhaps you should ask him out?

I'm okay for the ride in clarkes car. although we will have to see if he has a cellphone first. A car with two teenage males you dont know the last name of and have known only for a few minutes is not something a good little girl like nora would do. Quite dangerous. In fact, one could almost argue, insane and asking to be stabbed to death on some lonely road in the middle of no where, after being raped repeatedly.

So, therefore, we can get a ride in clarkes car. but i will suddenly be a black belt in karate if it starts to get illegal. nora is a nice girl, and i want to keep her out of trouble. completely.

Oh, yeah. i forgot to put this one in the last one.

How is everything related? I mean, as someone pointed out (i woudl give credit, but i cant remember), clarke is in 2 places at once. (or, someone is. i dont know).

What time frame are we working in? Like, is the mall 20 years down the track from the after-school bus? and is everyone the same person?

Because someone (once again, cant remember who) made the gun fights at someones house kids playing imaginary games. at the same time, one of the kids is blowing up the mall.

Do we have to link one thread to another? are they independant stories? are we supposed to stay the same people? i mean, nora coudl run away and join a cult in the middle of the desert, or get on drugs, or quite school. She is not the same person after these things, and we dont know what the time period is between events.

Can we clear this up? because it is quite...difficult.

Heres What I know, from talking to Martin/Seth
The threads are not linked. The after school thread is in no way linked to the gunfight (which is real btw, not an imaginary one)

And the mall is anyone's guess. Clarke linked it obscurely with a post at the start of his gunfight thread, but I'd prefer to keep it separate. Any other replies would be appreciated.

BTW, What's Clarke's view on the Mall? I'd like to know whaty kind of a character he is, and exactly why he is a wanted man.

"Not all who wander are lost." -- J.R.R. Tolkien

I was writing a page rant about the science of inconsistancy (displayed very effectivly in The Simpsons, which is both consistant and inconsistant from episode to episode). Suffice to say, some things (such as the character's deaths in the halloween episode) are obviously non-consistant and do not effictively exist in the Real World. Other things, such as Mrs. Flander's death, the fact that Bart and Lisa are siblings, and the number of hairs on Homer's head, are consistant and will apply in every episode.

I am not a fan of rules; regulation is the nemesis of life and bane of creativity. Things are the way they are because they are not any other way. That is reality.

=====

If you have trouble with this concept, you may use a model or 'rule' to define reality in a context that you can process comfortably.

I put forward this model:

There are two kinds of thread.

One is 'real' and exists in a completely plausable world. All real threads relate directly or indirectly to one another. They are seperate windows into a single world.

The other type of thread is 'unreal' and is pretty easy to spot, but we could even label them if you really wanted so that people don't get confused. Unreal threads are the twisted fantasies of desperate minds and exist outside of measurable time and space.

An Unreal thread is the holodeck, the dream-scene, the part in Die Another Day when we see Moneypenny kissing James before the machine turns off and we can see it isn't real.

Did Clarke and Chris really have a gunfight with massive weapons that left both of them unharmed? They undoubtably did... but somehow I doubt it was the same Clarke and Chris who met Nora at the bus-stops.

It was probably easier to say "no, the three threads arent related, but other ones could be if you set them up to be directly linked"

Yes, I suppose that would do the trick.

I now like to think of it this way ... Each thread is like it's own seperate short story. Perhaps with a slight editorial slant on some of them (not looking at Seth/Martin for his job on the detention thread). Perhaps some will be violent and evil, others will be semi pornographic, others will just be simple slice of life. I think that I have no need to try to exlain the links between the threads, I will just treat each Clarke Anderson with the idea that he has done none of the other things he has done in other threads. I will show these people a world with rules and boundries. A world without you. Where we go from there is up to you.

...And thus it becomes apparentn why no new people are joining your board...

YOU PEOPLE MAKE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!

Bane, you just need to know what to ignore and what not to. If you're looking for logic, ignore anything that isn't. Consider it spam. Seriously. If it doesn't make sense, pretend it isn't there.

Finding your way around is easy - just avoid the mall. If you're feeling lonely, start a thread.

There used to be rules, but someone deleted them.

I abuse moderater powers and edit posts, but only in certain threads. If you start a thread, you can basically set your own rules.

==

Ok, I'm just confusing the issue. I'm gonna go start a new thread

Not to mention deleting posts that are very important, and as i said in my post that magically disappeared, can you (Martin) please either delete the 3am deserted in town, so i can start again, or change the first word to Martin, but that would then involve you.

AND PLEASE MAKE MY POST RE-APPEAR, EDITED IF YOU MUST
