Scumstorm 2011: Fabio's Revenge (August 25-29, 2011)

[ReaperCharlie]

w00t, I would totally go to this if I didn't live a whole state away...

anyone wanna pay for my plane ticket?

[ReaperCharlie]

Dam#. I totally wanna go. Somebody have one in San Francisco, that's close enough that I can get there without TOO much fuss.

[ReaperCharlie]

Starting where, a_k?

Also, can I bring a few people? It'd be me + 2, likely.

[ReaperCharlie]

I'll see what I can do. My wife and I are having a baby any day now, sooooo... we'll have it by then. And I don't know how she feels about tricksy alcoholic internet strangers sleeping over with a new baby in the house, soooo yea.

Oh wait!
You could sleep out in the dumpster! Problem solved. I'll see you Thursday night.

[ReaperCharlie]

Seriously though, I'm totally down. Just gotta clear it with work/the wife.

Do you have room for my wife and young one though? Or should I make arrangements to have them stay at a friend/family member's house?

[ReaperCharlie]

Go ahead and put me on the

Attending

list, and my wife/baby on the

Maybe

list.

A few questions for you Ythill:

• Would there be a place for my wife to crash there? We probably don't have the dough to get a hotel for 2/3 nights, sadly. You mentioned the other 1-br apartment, is that cool for her to crash in or no. But just in case, how much does a typical motel cost for a couple nights?
  
• Would it be practical to bring a 1 mo. old baby to the party? It hasn't been born yet but will be by then
  
• Will there be alcohol/drugs/general unruliness? or will it be more about games and less about college-style partying (I hope it's the 'games' answer).
  
• Is there a kick/ban policy on those who hate Fabio?

[ReaperCharlie]

Ok, thanks. If I have any more questions I will get back to ya.

And... rofl, who is Obi-wan?

[ReaperCharlie]

rofl!! alright. And thanks for all the info.

I think if I do bring the family I'll try to get a room for us elsewhere, but yea, add me to

Attending

, and them to

Maybe

.

w0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000tttt

[ReaperCharlie]

Should I bring an Xbox or anything? When we get sick of Mafia we might wanna play Halo/CoD:MW, no?

[ReaperCharlie]

lol, no, I don't drink (neither does al_kohaulec, LOL)

and even if I did, I wouldn't play mafia while brain-impaired.

[ReaperCharlie]

I haven't heard of any of those. I'd be down for a game of Stratego, Risk, or Monopoly, though.

[ReaperCharlie]

Sorry out of those all I have is Monopoly, I think. It's a fun game, I'll bring it if you want, even if you don't think it's fun

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah well at least you're still "the Best Actor/Model, and not the other way around."

[ReaperCharlie]

/me high fives ani.

you coming dude?

[ReaperCharlie]

/high five?!?! MY BUTT! You always try to lynch me when I'm town. Do that again, and I'll come to your house and rip out your soul.

[ReaperCharlie]

LOL

[ReaperCharlie]

Explain to them exactly what's going on, politely tell them that you're going, and invite them to come along. Hell, they'll probably spring for a motel room if they say yes and Portland has plenty of stuff for them to do.

this. just be totally honest.

or conversely, just say:
"yo, i don' have ne friends IRL, so can I go hang out with my l33t interwebz buddy RC over t3h weekend, mom? like, ttly plzzzzz0r"

(works EVERY time)

[ReaperCharlie]

Thanks! <3 you all.

[ReaperCharlie]

Pics or GTFO. Here. Now.

[ReaperCharlie]

Man... I hope you're not some really fat Austro-asian kid with a ~112ppsi (pimples-per-sq-inch) ratio on your forehead and/or cheekbone area... that'd be kind of a downer.

Especially after imagining for so long that you were a handsome, dashing man with finely combed golden hair (except for the wisp), and a well-trimmed mustache and goatee.

[ReaperCharlie]

Do tell.

[ReaperCharlie]

Hi Reck Surprise surprise.

[ReaperCharlie]

ITT we learn about ReaperCharlie: http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... 3#p2387693

[ReaperCharlie]

@ Ythill: I'm 19.

Then just tell them you're leaving for the weekend.

HAHA.

oh yeah.

[ReaperCharlie]

Mafia > school

[ReaperCharlie]

replace "A" with "mafia" and "B" with "school"



if the time periods of scumstorm and school don't mix, like above:

a) you are going to scumstorm
b) you are NOT going to scumstorm (because of some lame excuse involving your parents)
c) you are going to scumstorm AND giving a ride to/getting a ride from SpyreX

[ReaperCharlie]

my image failed? dam#

edit: ok fix0rrrred

[ReaperCharlie]

somebody told me they were gonna invite the 'west coast scumbags' to scumstorm... i forget who exactly said it, but i looked on the wiki for west coast scumbags and it sounds like just a blanket term for anyone on the west coast.

i'll join if some of you guys do

[ReaperCharlie]

ok i'll join it too.

wagon gogogogogogo pile on guys.

[ReaperCharlie]

*sPRAYSPRAYSPRAYsPRAYSPRAYsPRAYSPRAY*

[ReaperCharlie]

Also: is there gonna be enough room for me to stay in your bed with you Ythill? I am leaning on shacking up with my tricksy alcoholic internet stranger ride-provider, but if there's enough room in your bed I'm so there.

[ReaperCharlie]

Sry she won't be able to make it and we're not swingers like you and your chick, so.

[ReaperCharlie]

But on the bright side: She's feeling relatively well and both she and the baby are healthy!!! YES!

[ReaperCharlie]

If youre going to come, sack up and show up. Im coming in from Florida

Seriously? Dang

Also, what made you pick the name Internet Stranger? that's an awesome name, lol

[ReaperCharlie]

Are you driving or flying?

[ReaperCharlie]

We need more people to come to this! Everyone go advertise on your wiki page and/or your signature!

[ReaperCharlie]

No it sounds like a bad pre-teen 1990's era video plot. Is your friend coming too?

[ReaperCharlie]

I just hope someone brings a "laugh track" with them for when his parents call and he's got his hand stuck in a raccoon trap.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This will be epic.

Whoever's bringing drinks, bring Monster instead of beer. Yes.

Don't argue.

Yes.

[ReaperCharlie]

MEAT! YEAH BABY



That's what I'm talking about.

[ReaperCharlie]

Happily, I am about to meet this guy in a few weeks.

Then we can have a fight to the death with knives.

Oh yes. Scumstorm will be epic and will involve violence and bloodshed and tyranny.

[ReaperCharlie]

HAHA!

Ok, as long as I get to be Vader. You can be Luke. And then obv there is Ythill's son Obi-Wan.

[ReaperCharlie]

Should I bring an Xbox360/4 controllers? And somebody else could bring another one. And then Ythill could provide a router? I would love to have a midnight battle royale on Halo 3/CoD4: MW if anyone else is down.

pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew

Haha I c what u did thar shaft.ed

[ReaperCharlie]

I can bring my Gamecube and Ikaruga. That's basically like Raptor: Call of the Shadows, but Japanese. Very, VERY fun. Only 2 players though.

Anyone have a Wii and Super Smash Bros Brawl? That'd be ridiculously awesome, I'd love to play you all (I'm terrible).

I'd even be down for Wii bowling/tennis/etc at half past 5, or whenever I get tired enough

[ReaperCharlie]

I would also like to request Mario Kart Wii if anyone has that. It's awesome to veg out and play Wii, if you're not aware of that.

And for staying up all night, I am not too much into card games other than regular playing cards games like:

War
Slapjack
Egyptian War
Mafia (duh)
BS
and I love card tricks...

I love the above games and can play them for hours, but I can't really stand games like Magic or other stuff, sry.

I can probably bring a deck or two of playing cards, but others should bring them too in case I forget (likely).

[ReaperCharlie]

Kise are you even coming? *hopeful*

Also, does anyone know how to play the card games Mahi Mahi or Mau?

[ReaperCharlie]

Brandi is coming! Sweet.

LOL @ sociopath's "me and my alt" comment. HAHA

[ReaperCharlie]

food movie?

[ReaperCharlie]

Well, I for one most certainly do NOT have a baby crying in the house.

[ReaperCharlie]

Alright! I've changed my sig! It's go time!

[ReaperCharlie]

Metal Slug Anthology FTW.

[ReaperCharlie]

Hahahahaha.

Me and al_kohaulec are actually reconsidering, and thinking about not coming, cause it'll cost us too much for gas.

Dam# you, Saddam Hussein.

[ReaperCharlie]

yeah after a bit of discussion, it appears that myself and al_kohaulec are going to have to back out due to financial reasons as well as pretty stringent time constraints.

sorry for any inconvenience. i'll still advertise in my sig tho

[ReaperCharlie]

Ok.

[ReaperCharlie]

RC !+ Ythill =
RC !+ Brandi =
RC !+ Andrius =

RC !+ Internet Stranger = ?

[ReaperCharlie]

But when they live their lives to the end, they'll look back think to themselves, "I'm glad I saved that X amount of dollars by not going to meet a bunch of random strangers from the internet who probably have bad breath anyways. I feel relieved."

Fixed.


But yea seriously. This is something I really wanted to go to...

[ReaperCharlie]

It's not about the sack. I've got plenty of that. It's about the moneybagg$.

Unless you are willing to pass a hat.

[ReaperCharlie]

And dont forget about the dancing girls.

Our stripper neighbor has invited Xine to amatuer night at the club she works at, which happens to fall on the 21st.

RC, I already sent you busking tips. The other option is hitchhiking. If you stay on I-5, there is no reason it should take you longer than two days to get here (probably it will only take 1) and it's

free

.

Yeah. Thanks for those, I may use them some day.

The other problem we had was that it'll already take so long to get there and back that we'd only be able to be there for about a day.

The cons just outweighed the pros. By a lot. Also, I couldn't convince SpyreX to come...

[ReaperCharlie]

ew gross. we didn't want to see that reck. (you/dram)

[ReaperCharlie]

Take tooooons of pictures, Ythill!!!

[ReaperCharlie]

Then can I expect you to make good on this post that you made in the Face with a Name thread?

So I'm being put under peer pressure *coughRCcough* to post here.

You know you want to.

I'm thinking I will, if I don't go to Scumstorm.

[ReaperCharlie]

You didn't know?

[ReaperCharlie]

*me too*


(wishes that DGB was there)

[ReaperCharlie]

Scumstorm was superepic. Those who showed were some cool motherfuckers, I love you guys.

For those who didn't show up, you're all a bunch of assholes. But not only that, you're the ones that suffer because
you'll regret not partaking on the badass experience we had.

So what did the rest of you peseants do this weekend? It doesn't matter anyways, our weekend was better.
Bunch of bitches!

STFU i hate you anyways.

[ReaperCharlie]

btw, PICS OR GTFO

[ReaperCharlie]

No. You lie.

PICS OR GTFO

[ReaperCharlie]

HAHA!!

*waits*

[ReaperCharlie]

btw in case I haven't mentioned it yet...

PICS OR GTFO

[ReaperCharlie]

Haha! Awesome!

HackerHuck looks like a real-life serial killer and Internet Stranger looks like Silent Bob! LOL

[ReaperCharlie]

Booooo! Go to Miyu's house!

[ReaperCharlie]

No. Everything shall be revealed.


EVERYTHING.

[ReaperCharlie]

WTF?!?!

MIYU! LET HIM STAY

[ReaperCharlie]

No, moron! Bring it further south, not north!

[ReaperCharlie]

If we do it in San Francisco, we can... [insert 20-30 other better things here].

*imagine that "oh yeah! what NOW, punk?" look on my face*

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah. Me too. Seriously.

[ReaperCharlie]

After seeing what Troll looks like in real life, idk if I can ever imagine him as a troll again.

It's sad; the magic has gone out of it for me. It's like not believing in Santa Claus any more.

[ReaperCharlie]

And apparently HackerHuck can kiss yours, too....

[ReaperCharlie]

Also, I'm going to have some fun and tell y'all that Xine has a crush on one of the guys who showed up, but I'm not going to say who.

It's Huck, duh.

[ReaperCharlie]

Which is the neighbor that you said needed to set up a direct deposit account? (if you know what I am getting at)

[ReaperCharlie]

ROFL @ where this conversation went since I asked about Ms. Deposit. *shakes head sadly*

*is grinning, though*

[ReaperCharlie]

Update the OP with the Scumstorm pics, Ythill!

[ReaperCharlie]

Wow thats actually pretty awesome Oman.

[ReaperCharlie]

did somebody ask for a miracle?

[ReaperCharlie]

w0000000t. <3 Oso/Xine

/thread

[ReaperCharlie]

On a different topic... tonight, Obi's been talking about killing Sudo. A lot. It's creepy.

I always knew it would come to this. Ever since he left me by the lava at Mustafar, I've known it would be my destiny to fight Obi-Wan once more.

LOL

[ReaperCharlie]

Also: There is a significantly greater chance that I'll be able to make it next year.
Housing, finances, baby situation, etc. should be much better next time around.

(cue somebody making jokes about Owen wanting Luke to stay around the moisture farm for "a WHOLE nother YEAR"! "look, it's just one more SEASON")

[ReaperCharlie]

*scrolls up a little bit*

Mud wrestling?

Women?

/pre-in

This.

/pre-in

[ReaperCharlie]

Rough estimate on the next meet? I live in Cali and might be able to make the trip, within reason. Also, if the host would have me. The new guy.

Add yourself to the

West Coast Scumbags

, scumbag!!!

ALL of you scumbags add yourself!

[ReaperCharlie]

Hey, the West Coast Scumbags totally support Scumstorm!!!

(really, it's just a directory, so I can find out who best to carpool with on my way up the coast to Portland next year. lol)

(shhhh)

[ReaperCharlie]

Personally I would not like to be identified as either, a Storm Trooper, or a Starship Trooper, but if I had to choose, I'd pick the latter. We need a title that does not call up images of science fictional wars.

I lol'd.

[ReaperCharlie]

All of which be Troll's way of saying that we should totally call ourselves the Scumosaurs. Troll gets dibs on the Trollceretops!

Sudosaurus Rex!

VelociReaper!

[ReaperCharlie]

Hi there, Reck.

Looks like we're going to try to get together again before Zorb's visit. Sudo must attend or we will die of Betrayal withdrawl.

Speaking of Betrayal... how does one play?

I am also a stranger to Munchkin, and whatever else games you guys play.

[ReaperCharlie]

*flirt*

[ReaperCharlie]

Actually chopping wood is still one of my favourite things to do.

That's interesting. I don't really consider it that fun.

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah, now that my wee bairn is no longer wet behind the ears, I may be making an appearance.

Prepare for the Unicorn. (I'm also trying to get Stef and Ruben down from Seattle... w00t, eh?)

[ReaperCharlie]

I, too, won't be able to make it. Rhubarb.

Well that makes 9 for Rhubarb.

[ReaperCharlie]

I never eaten rhubarb in my life. Though it is on my bucket list, along with Hawaiian pizza and to kick Michel Cera in the balls.

[ReaperCharlie]

Mine is roughly the same. Driving across the longest flattest part of Aus (the Hay Plains), and this guy behind me has pulled out the bottle. Over the radios we were using he starts telling us that he's having problems, let him know if we see a truck coming so that he can focus on the road again. We start laughing and singing a fighter pilot song about struggling with a piss-tube in a jet ("12-inch penis"), and he starts laughing.

Anyway, about a km down the road he just starts swearing and yelling over the radio. Minute later he has his pants off, hanging them out the window trying to dry the massive amounts of urine off them. Turns out rather than the wide-mouth bottle he had tried a regular bottle, and pretty much gotten to the tipping point. When he pulled out (so to speak) a bit fell out, leading him to snatch it and almost pour the entire bottle over his pants. Hilarious, to say the least.

We called him Footlong for a week or so (referring to "12 Inch Penis") and yeah, we haven't let him forget it.

Hahahaha

This was good for a laugh at work.

[ReaperCharlie]

If Oman comes, I'm cumming.

[ReaperCharlie]

You should just go to Goofbash. That's where all the

cool kids

DGB clones

are going.

FTFERTWTP

[ReaperCharlie]

I am still interested in coming.

Ythill sent me a friggin' essay on how to busk gas.

Darn... I hope I still have it!

[ReaperCharlie]

Well the way Ythill described it, it was more like "beg for". lol

[ReaperCharlie]

Ah, here it was:

Travel with a gas can. When you get to about half a tank, pull into a gas station and park away from the pumps. When people come up to buy gas, turn on charisma and greet them. It helps if you start by asking them how they are or paying them an honest compliment. Lots of people will glare at you, tell you off, or ignore you. Give them a polite farewell and stop bugging them. However, some people will give you their attention. At that point, tell your story. Some people believe that making up a story that inspires pity is a good way to close the deal, but I've found that honesty is best. So, in this case, you'd tell a brief but entertaining story about how there's a convergence of gaming geeks happening Portland and that you wanted to go but didn't have enough money for gas so you decided to have some faith and hope you can make it anyway. Then politely ask them if they can spare any gas, and show them the can. Try to finish the delivery before they are finished topping-off so that they still have an active nozzle in hand when you ask.

Most people who listen to your story will give you at least a dollar's worth. Many of them will fill the can. You will also get other offers of assistance, such as food, cash, etcetera. Once your can is full, run over to your car and add it to the tank, then head back to the pumps.

Most gas station clerks will not run you off of their own accord, though a manager might. If a customer complains, you may get moved along. Keep being polite and explain

once

that you are increasing their sales. If that doesn't work, get back in your car and head to the next station. (The risk of getting run off is why you should start at half a tank.)

You can cross the country in this manner. Also, there are plenty of cities where various kinds of busking are considered to be more legitimate than others. For example, Santa Cruz is a great place to stop and use some inventive schtick to busk cash on the strip. Portland is a great place to play music for tips. New Orleans is a lucrative place to read tarot for tips. Etcetera.

One of my favorite tricks is that I always travel with a recorder or penny whistle. By placing my hat on the ground and playing near the entrance to a cheap restaurant, it has never taken me more than an hour to make enough money for a meal.

[ReaperCharlie]

[...] Add that to the time off for Rainbow [...]

My name is ReaperCharlie, and this is my favorite post on the Citadel.

[ReaperCharlie]

[ReaperCharlie]

Sure am. ReaperCharlie informed me of this, and I'm down. Sounds like a hoot.

I work in a rather popular restaurant and the sooner I can plan for perhaps requesting a day off or getting out early the better. I work brunches on the weekends, so I'm usually out by 4 or so anyways. But, you know.

I'm just sad I can't make it myself.

what is this madness

Didn't I tell you? I moved hundreds of miles away.

[ReaperCharlie]

INNNNTERESTING.

Wait.

Too bad I missed it by 5 days.
