This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Marco has left the building. Great fanfare and applause for him, who'll never be seen or heard from again. *Straight face*

Also, he gets +2 XP.

Inside the building, a great ceremony is being enacted around some Holy Bast Catfood. First, the slaying of the Sacrificial Mice...(Unfortunately, due to ordinances, cloned without brains, which somewhat limits the excitement)...
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

"I'll beef you, six-eyes.  And we'll see how well you entertain."

I walk a few feet, stop to lick my butt, get back up and casually wander over to the altar.  "Beverly," I say to the old lady, "are you sure you don't want to rethink this?  'Cause the-- hang on."  I bat at a nearby sacrificial mouse, which has landed near me due to someone else's pouncing.  "'Cause the food's not impressing me and it sure as hell isn't gonna impress whoever it is you're praying to.  This week."

"Aw c'mon, don't...I don't need to see your kitty area," I wince at the moggy's self-ablution. "Those are some stale biscuits, Brisket."

Stepping up to the altar I begin setting up my stuff.  When I figure noone's looking I'll devour one of the mice in a hellish -- yet stealthy -- display of alien hunger.

"My mother was a saint.  The hounds of tindalos tore her to pieces like cotton candy," I reply, trailing off into a gibbering mumble.

No-one notices the mouse disappear, possibly because 'Hellish, yet stealthy display of alien hunger' well describes the way cats play with their food.

The old cat-lady hisses "Bast will bring us catnip! I know it! It says so on the can!"

[Oh ye of little faith.  Just waitin' for the Doc but I'll jump in to keep things moving]

I rack two out of my three brains trying to remember if Meyer "Burbles" Lang did any business on the cruddy excuse for a planet.  If I can hook up the old broad, and open a new market for Burbles....well, Burbles, he's tight with Ijmmay the Frog, and maybe he could put in a good word...

I harrumph as only a cat can.  "She'd damn well BETTER show up, but -- "

I stop!  Stare!  At....something!

"...uh...what?  Oh!  No.  I want something else from her."

I blink and look at six-eyes.  "No, thanks, I gave at the office."

You don't know if 'Burbles' played here, but you're pretty sure 'Chuck the Mighty' played here. You might want to make sure none of the suck got left behind.


*Ring*Ring* "Welcome to Bast hotline. I'm either asleep, eating or tomfooling. Speak #1 to tell me how great I am; Speak #2 to offer food..."

"#2!"

*Ding!* "Enjoy your two-hour drugged out haze! ta-ta!"

The can of catfood disappears.

Make save vs. weed, if your ancestry contains feline.

Whoops.

...I've been wondering if that was a bad move...And then I realized it was railroading.

Oops. :banghead:

If you're still interested, can I get some advice on this?

And if it was that that killed the game, er - Next time, please tell me. I can be remarkably oblivious socially, sometimes. :o

Narf, it's probably not that -- Doc's been having computer difficulties.  He has, and I'll admit this is somewhat puzzling, blogged about them recently.

When he's back online maybe we can give this another go.  I'd be up for it.
