Well, good luck in love/life matters, Ade, and hopefully we'll hear that everything has improved real soon.

/me raises glass of Pepsi in salute to Ade.

Thanks for sympathy

...but I guess I'll just be my usual, negative self that I am... and paranoid about making things even worse by talking that "sorry I'm so embarrased" etc...-stuff.

But, I know that life kicks you in the head sometimes, and out of every experience you'll learn something.

Well... it might all turn out fine... I just hope I'm not kidding myself.

One makes their own destiny... believe that you shall fail and you shall fail... believe that you shall succeed, and you shall succeed...

/me sets down the fungal bong.

I need to stay away from Yang and his... "stuff."

Nah, you're just inspiring me

...but Rec Commons is still a place to have fun, right? ...so I'll just spare you from my "I'm pathetic"-posts for now, ok?

Oh, and I've got my custom avatar now, too!

Hercules · September 18, 2002, 15:13

Well this is a cheap round so far.

Method · September 18, 2002, 15:34

FlameFlash · September 19, 2002, 12:51

Ade,
It's also a place to whine over a good pint of something...

/me shrugs and returns to his Pepsi.

You can't get a hold of absinthe? But so many French artists killed themselves with it for centuries! Any little bar in Wellington will serve you absinthe, and it is the start (and often the end) to many a good night out here. Why, you instantly lose all ability to smell or taste, and when these senses come back, you're already toasted.

Pandemoniak · September 19, 2002, 18:44

Well, yes. French artist killed themselves with Absinth when it was legal. It is not anymore, because of that actually.

moomin · September 20, 2002, 06:28

And you'd think that effect would lead to Absinth being compulsory!

Kassiopeia · September 20, 2002, 10:55

Ooh. I just finished with Neon Exodus Evangelion. Great stuff, great stuff. Fanfiction the way it should be, I'd say. Too bad it doesn't really end, and the "NXE Motion Picture" that was supposed to carry on the story is apparently suspended.

MWIA - You've seen episode 19, right? Then I strongly recommend getting your hands on Asuka the Black Knight.

Kassiopeia · September 20, 2002, 11:00

OMG! "Fall/Winter 2002"! Joy!

NXE started in 1997. Christ, some people must've blown an artery, waiting and waiting for it. Took three years to even finish the series for the author, Ben Hutchins (IIRC). He's got some serious talent, he could pull off something pretty impressive outside fanfics.

FlameFlash · September 20, 2002, 12:10

Eh? So another EVA movie?

Kassiopeia · September 20, 2002, 12:30

Eh, not really. A fanfic story very, very loosely based on the Eva universe (and every other goddamn scifi story out there, may I add).

Pandemoniak · September 21, 2002, 20:04

Yer-ovsk ! I have my won avatar ! But how come it has to be 80x80, while others avatrs are oviously bigger ?

Kassiopeia · September 21, 2002, 20:10

Mine is the maximum size, 80 times 80 pixels. Just an optical illusion.

Pandemoniak · September 21, 2002, 20:12

It is not an optical illusion, it only looks like it.
Seriously, your flag is OBVIOUSLY further right than mine, and the blue circle on your avatar wouldnt fit in my 80x80... er... Okay, I just remember : mine is 52x80
oops
/me runs to the toilets

Maniac · September 21, 2002, 20:19

Hmm. You don't get any New Caledonian anymore tonight.

Pandemoniak · September 21, 2002, 20:25

Gim... GImMe a FuNGal W-o-o-d-K-a then...

Method · September 21, 2002, 20:27

ugh. i liked domai better

are you sure don't want old punishment sphere?

Hercules · September 23, 2002, 09:49

Set one up for me will ya. Usual Black stuff.

There is no one over at the News. The place is falling apart. People are falling over drunk or in the process of doing so. Rovers are crashing into worm fields
Other people are crossing and re-crossing roads cracking jokes. People going up to Gaian women, sniffing them. The political system as we know is on the verge of collapse. Directors are abandoning posts.

Some people are jumping into Recycling tanks and some others are stirring it. Some people just seem to

all day.

Oh well just another day on the Daily Planet.

And give me a large one, Maniac my good man.

can I put this poster for a party leader up in here or given what happened to the exploration parties. Pande Congrats

Maniac · September 23, 2002, 12:16

Why don't you take a P4PSI? They're almost out of stock and I want to get rid of them asap.

And why don't you take over the CNN?

The faction would certainly appreciate your efforts. I'll give you a full one energy credit to drink here.

Unless you think the poster won't cause a riot with Archaic, perhaps you should paste your poster all over the base, especially at the Recycling Tanks. I'd like to prevent a fight here between you and Archaic.

Ha... well, thanks for listening to my "pint-whining".

Well, to say it shortly, I guess things are all right now, we're friends again, etc...

So... to change the subject... Absinth?

...I wonder if it's legal in Finland ... I know that it's available somewhere, but it's been somehow modified to not cause hallucinations and act just like normal alcoholic beverages...
But I'm sure that the real stuff that Rimbaud, Verlaine et al. used would be quite an experience... Perhaps next summer, when we're planning a road trip across Europe

FlameFlash · September 23, 2002, 14:23

Good to hear, Ade!

Now the question is... would Absinth be legal in the faction?

Anodyne · September 23, 2002, 14:34

As far as LSD is concerned, it's quite obvious

Hercules · September 23, 2002, 14:36

OK I 'll take 2 P4PS1's. Do you know, I don't think you have any black stuff ?

Anyway re CNN. If I take charge these are the conditions:

The News station and paper is renamed the Centauri Guardian.

Editorial control (or access to it) to delete stuff that should be elsewhere like here.

To have at least two or more staff. I 'll cover straight forward news ( like death of rover squad), but I need
a crime reporter (maniac reports on missing persons. Have we one or more serial killers out there). Why was Mellian so keen on looking after the Recycling Tanks (joking aside). And a good arts critic and gossip columnist. If Kass could be persuaded. Also happy to take ads. Gaian girl looks difference between Spartan.

What do you think? good for 1 energy

Black stuff?
Well, we took something from Earth to here as a souvenir...straight from the northern wastelands (right, Ande, Kass?

)... behold the marvels of Salmiakkikossu!!
