How it Works:

Also, this is kind of important:

If I need you to write or draw anything, you will receive a PM from me

on either this account, or from the new account Eat Poop You Cat, which I have created in order to be able to handle the insane amounts of PMs that I'll be going through each day... you know, so they don't overflow my inbox on this account.

^^^ It's as simple as that.

Some Tips:

OK, I've been playing this for a fair while, so some tips:

1. Keep it Clean: It might seem like a good idea to throw an obscene joke into the game, but trust me, it never works out. The meaning of the original sentence might be completely changed by the end, but a penis will stay in the thread forever. It gets old fast. Just don't try it.

2. Less is More: Don't make a sentence that involves robot monkeys fighting alien tigers in Norway, because every single picture will be of robot monkeys fighting alien tigers in Norway. If in doubt, write something abstract, like 'the quality of mercy is not strained'. That will create a far more ambiguous picture, and ensure an interesting game.

3. Don't be Smart: I've seen a fair amount of people try to recreate the exact sentence with their picture, by making a little sentence of symbols, or blank spaces for letters. I'm not sure why they do this, it could be they're trying to be clever, trying to break the game, trying to suck the fun from the game, or are just lazy. Any which way, it's stupid, and everyone will hate you afterwards.

4. Go with your Gut: Don't second-guess your first instincts about a picture or sentence, don't try to figure out what the original meaning was, just work with what you have seen. This is how the game gets funny. Of course, this is overruled by rules one and three.

5. Better Late than Never: Take your time working on your pictures. Make them the way you envisioned them. It doesn't matter if you suck at art, just keep plugging away at it and it will work out fine. Don't create deadlines, they just make bad pictures.

[ReaperCharlie]

You could probably message pretty much the whole playerlist of the last game, a lot of people said they wanted to /in for the next.

Do you have a list?

I guarantee you will get a lot more than 12 people who will really want to play.

Sure, I suppose I could take more, but I don't know the optimal game size.

How many do you think?

[ReaperCharlie]

/in

I intend to try my hardest to be even worse at drawing than anyone else!

Worse than EVERYONE?!!

Pretty much impossible, but go for it.

[ReaperCharlie]

Only 5 spots left, and 3 are reserved for Brandi and Jahudo, and rolandofthewhite, if they'd like to play.

Somebody PM them.

[ReaperCharlie]

I already did PM them, lol

[ReaperCharlie]

Thanks for the tips, Umbrage. I've added it to the main post.

[ReaperCharlie]

Aggghhhh Zito. Look what you made me do.

Now this game is gonna take FOREEEVEEEER.

[ReaperCharlie]

What do you mean, poro?

[ReaperCharlie]

Ok, sign ups are at 37/40 and I still have spots 'reserved' for Brandi and rolandofthewhite from last game...

So I will need two replacements in case they don't show up... or rather, they will be the first two replacements if somebody flakes out.

:sadface: I wanted to get them in from the start, but they don't seem to be answering PMs at the moment...

[ReaperCharlie]

That is to say: We need three more. Brandi and rolandofthewhite, come play! If you're not around, don't worry, the first two replacement spots are reserved for you.

[ReaperCharlie]

I'll consider you as still /in, because this will basically be me asking you to write a caption or draw a picture once every few days.

That's not so bad, is it?

[ReaperCharlie]

I consider you as still /in

[ReaperCharlie]

Haha. Have no fear.

I'm probably running it different than mith did, but don't worry.

It's in capable hands.

[ReaperCharlie]

Actually, there ARE going to be (at least) 40 chains, and everyone will get to write a starting sentence.

I just don't have the time or inclination to start them all at once and try to manage them all at once.

You'll all get your turn. Like I said, this is being run a little bit differently, but it'll all work out.

Please, have a little faith.

[ReaperCharlie]

Also, this is kind of important:

If I need you to write or draw anything, you will receive a PM from me

on either this account, or from the new account Eat Poop You Cat, which I have created in order to be able to handle the insane amounts of PMs that I'll be going through each day... you know, so they don't overflow my inbox on this account.

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeahhhh.... still waiting for it to get activated though ^_^

[ReaperCharlie]

Thanks.

[ReaperCharlie]

Ok Moo, you get the last spot.

And yes, I clicked your signature. About three times.

[ReaperCharlie]

Yes. Yes I did.

Starting another 6 chains today. We are now up to 12/40 chains started now.

[ReaperCharlie]

Well, I kind of don't want to reveal too much how it's done, or who's in whose chain, at least until the first few chains finish.

Everyone will be able to start a chain, everyone will be able to finish one. If you want to send me your beginning phrase early, feel free.

I'll keep it until later. I guess it'd be more convenient for myself that way, but it'd make you wait longer to see fruition... so...

Whatever you wanna do!

[ReaperCharlie]

Yuna has backed out; that was a friend from RL who has school/finals (yeah I know... totally gay to back out for SCHOOL)...

but (OH JOY!), Brandi has contacted me, and will be replacing in immediately. Yeah, baby!

[ReaperCharlie]

And unfortunately, everything is so smooth on my side that the picture goes out to them almost as soon as I read it.

Soooo you're out of luck. Sorry.

[ReaperCharlie]

/in to replace

/in to replace/play another round

Gotcha, guys.

I have not even got a sentance yet.

I have not even got a sentance yet.

I have not even got a sentance yet.

a sentance

a sentance

a sentance

Fluffy llama fail.

[ReaperCharlie]

You'd be surprised. Some of these are finishing much faster than I thought they would!

[ReaperCharlie]

Really? I must be in the 'special ed' group then

Hehe, you kind of are. Some people haven't even replied yet, while others have already replied up to three times, on different chains.

Or Brandi is in my group and she is making a masterpiece

Sadly, no... actually, Brandi has not even been assigned a picture yet. Though she

did

finally get her first assignment for a phrase!

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah… some of you are all waiting on one guy, who is in the chain just before you. Three of the chains have come to him... and then just stopped because he hasn't answered yet...

... I'm thinking of replacing him in a day or two if he doesn't pick up his prod... 0_o

[ReaperCharlie]

Psh, don't worry, a day or two is fine. As long as you aren't noticeably slowing everyone else down, I don't care.

[ReaperCharlie]

So far, I have received 27 phrases and 19 pictures, which means there are 57 phrases left to collect and 53 pictures left.

And the stuff I've got is AWESOME so far! Keep up the good work guys! Some of the chains are almost halfway done!

[ReaperCharlie]

All will be revealed. Fret not.

[ReaperCharlie]

No wai man, I got this. Plus, I remember DotA vs HoN. lol

[ReaperCharlie]

Put some more effort into them at least. Spend more than 15 seconds.

I'll have you know mine are both awesome and 15 seconds.

By awesome I mean by an infant but

Yours must have taken at LEAST thirty seconds, and if not, well then maybe his were five seconds each.

Either way... make better pictures, you bloody MSPaint Bandits™!!! *shakes fist*

[ReaperCharlie]

The picture I received was ridiculous. Shame on whoever drew it.

You did pretty well though, lol

[ReaperCharlie]

*

under

800x600, not exactly 800x600.

[ReaperCharlie]

tinypic makes Reaper Charlie a happy panda.

anything else makes him an angry panda.

just because this isn't mafia doesn't mean you can't be modkilled AND replaced. lol

/kidding?

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah, and I got mad. RAAAAAAAAAAGE

[ReaperCharlie]

Do you also have... Gears of War/2, Halo 3/Reach, or CoD MW/MW2?

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah.... I already told Fritz I felt like a douche for missing it.

:'(

[ReaperCharlie]

I put Mina near the end of all the chains so she'd feel left out...

[ReaperCharlie]

I put Mina near the end of all the chains so she'd feel left out...

hahahahaha you even changed your location

I had no choice. Asians cannot lie!

alive, it is

[ReaperCharlie]

Thanks a lot, mith.

I assume that means greater than 50%, huh guys? What's the case again? I tried to ISO him but there are only three posts, and the last one is obv a lie... hmmm...

[ReaperCharlie]

NO WAI

[ReaperCharlie]

Boooooooooooo

[ReaperCharlie]

Korts replaces Haylen

[ReaperCharlie]

Oh gosh...

[ReaperCharlie]

Brandi is playing this again I hope I get a

nude

pic from her!

Me too

creepo 2.0

Don't act like you weren't thinkin' it, Prozac.

[ReaperCharlie]

ITT we learn Kitty stalks Brandi. Even without going to Scumstorm (a mortal mistake, btw).

[ReaperCharlie]

She started veeeery young, methinks.

Scary what kids do these days...

[ReaperCharlie]

Draw me a picture of Brandi. (with clothes)

[ReaperCharlie]

Sorry to hear that, Antihero...

Arrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New stuff! *goes back to EPYC account to pass everything along*

[ReaperCharlie]

What I had pictured in my mind the picture to be isn't the same as what I drew. Should I s

trive for the 'original thought'

, or

let the picture 'evolve' itself, adding more stuff into it as I go along

? Opinions appreciated.

Makes for a better chain overall, imo. That way not everyone is trying to draw the same thing.

[ReaperCharlie]

Well, it's all in how you interpret it.

"The cat played with the ball of yarn." could either be a white cat in a black room with an orange ball of yarn, or a calico cat pushing a rainbow ball of yarn in the middle of the street while being chased by a dog.... etc

[ReaperCharlie]

Yes, eventually.

[ReaperCharlie]

Oh noes! All I see are boxes!!! *rushes off to install the Asian language packs*

(imagine that, an Asian unicorn that doesn't speak Asian...)

[ReaperCharlie]

In other news, HOLY SH@# I CAN FINALLY SEE THE JAPANESE!!!

[ReaperCharlie]

I've been using reference pictures.

Of course, what I end up with doesn't look like the original anyway sooo

agreed.

the rules are:

-rule #1: no direct copypasta (even though it is at times yummy and quite nourishing)
-rule #2: no letters/words (wasn't here at the beginning, but people abused it)
-rule #3: obey rules #1 and #2. if you break them, you are also guilty of breaking this rule.
-rule #4: whoever breaks greater than or equal to 2 rules greater than or equal to 2 times, gets replaced.
-rule #5: scratch my back.

also:

you people need to get in gear.

[ReaperCharlie]

k gotcha

[ReaperCharlie]

I used a picture from Anchorman as reference for mine >.>

My picture didn't look like the picture from anchorman.

No, it didn't. lol

But now that you mention it, I suppose I could see the resemblance.



You are gonna laugh SO hard when you see what your picture turned into. I think that's the hardest I've laughed all game. Seriously.

[ReaperCharlie]

RC is it really necessary to almost spoil the outcome of all of these chains? Commenting on everything that everyone has been doing and such.... just a tad different than how Mith did it :S

Hmm.. a valid question Brandi.

But first, let me equate that with showing you the tip of the iceberg through a stained glass window. With Saran wrap around your head. After you just got maced.

After thinking of it that way, it doesn't really seem all that bad, does it?

[ReaperCharlie]

Honestly, I'd be surprised if it takes more than 15-20 days into January, to be completely finished.

[ReaperCharlie]

-rule #5: scratch my back.

*scratches your back*

Thank you, good sir.

Everyone except StrangerCoug is in blatant, willful violation of Rule #5.

*threatens menacingly with BanHammer™ 3000*

[ReaperCharlie]

If you really need it, you can use up to 15 or 16. But I needed to draw the line somewhere. I didn't want any paragraphs.

Just like Pirates of the Caribbean and the whole "pirate code", it's more of what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules.

[ReaperCharlie]

I could release them all at once. But I think a progressive reveal will have people coming back for more through the whole month of December, and that way people wouldn't instead have to just wait around forever for one big payoff and then..... OOOOOVVVVVEEEERRRRRKKKKIIILLLLLL...

That's my opinion. If anyone else would actually like it that way (a la Moospiker) let me know, and by all means I can hoard all of it until the end. lol

[ReaperCharlie]

Alright unless there is an outcry of suffering, I shall proceed as planned.

Waiting on a reply from mith about whether or not I can use mafiascum.net/epyc2010 to host it.

[ReaperCharlie]

Reaper, did you not like my picture? Why haven't I received anything in over a week now?

T_T

Yes, I liked your picture. I try to reply to all of them as a confirmation of receipt, but I might have forgotten. Sorry. And as for why you aren't getting anything at the moment, well, it's not your turn. You got most of your stuff in a chunk at the beginning. Some people are getting the same thing at the ending, and some are getting spread out evenly. It's not my fault, blame random.org. I can't make everyone happy about everything at the same time as making everything fair and random. lol

<3

[ReaperCharlie]

Haha. I'm sorry you guys. You are right.

That was just my quick reference, I suppose I can post that to myself in private.

[ReaperCharlie]

If horrordude doesn't respond to any of his PMs by tomorrow, he's getting replaced by... *checks*... TonyMontana!

[ReaperCharlie]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm ... must have missed you, Sudo. Sorry.

I haven't said anything to Tony yet, so I'll just let you replace in instead of him.

Is that acceptable, Sudo?

[ReaperCharlie]

Make Sudo_Nym Player 41 xD You implied that you haven't started all the chains yet.

Can't. It'll screw everything up.

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah, sorry. I see you were in there right between 15. SpyreX and 16. mallowgeno.

You'll get some stuff to draw very soon...

[ReaperCharlie]

*sidles over to a corner while holding a steak knife and grinning evilly* ...

[ReaperCharlie]

Can I disagree here? I understand creativity blah blah blah... but this gamer has to keep moving, if someone is stalling the line, they need to be pushed or replaced or killed.

I agree with you. And he's been replaced. This is interesting, though. While I originally thought it would be relatively easy to keep everyone happy, I've found that people are complaining either way. I'm not sure if the same people are complaining both ways (I'll have to check, lol), but so far it's been either:

a) Hey! I haven't gotten anything for a week! What's taking so long, HUH, MOD???

--or--

b) Hey! Don't give me a time limit to finish my stuff in! That hampers my creativity!

You can't have it both ways, so I'm just going to continue with my part on my side, and things will continue to happen as they happen. And of course I'll happily replace people if they don't respond within a certain amount of time and are holding up the process. Nobody likes constipation, eh?

Fair enough? <3

[ReaperCharlie]

Hey Sudo, don't hate. I was in college at 15, it's not that hard to believe.

I haven't been able to walk in and ace anything since high school. Luckily, I haven't needed to take any exams for a long time.

*whew!*

[ReaperCharlie]

It was very interesting to say the least. I needed help for homework in some classes, but helped others with theirs in others. I was not used to collaborating on projects with 25-40 year olds either. Also, one thing I wish I would have learned sooner was: RATE. MY. PROFESSOR. DOT. COM. I can't tell you how much grief that would have saved me. /facepalm

Just got about 10 PMs. My violent crusade for higher activity is being noticed! Yesssssss.

*dances a jig*

[ReaperCharlie]

GREAT NOW I HAVE TWO PICTURES TO FINISH AND IM NOT DONE WITH THE FIRST ONE >:0 rrrrrrrrr

aaaand, now we know who the culprit is.

In all seriousness though, take your time, Brandi. I don't care if I have to wait 2 weeks for yours.

[ReaperCharlie]

Do not slap something together. I want something that took you at least half an hour to draw.

There is no hurry, just as there is no spoon. Haven't you ever seen the Matrix? Sheesh.

[ReaperCharlie]

Well... it's a rough guideline.

Half an hour, GIVE OR TAKE 28 MINUTES. lol

[ReaperCharlie]

Heh. You have no idea.

[ReaperCharlie]

Damn I love this game.

QFT

Hold your unicorns, I'll get you the stuff you need over the next few days.

Heh.

[ReaperCharlie]

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER

So, the threads will start coming any day now. Hold your dang unicorns, y'all.

[ReaperCharlie]

Why does Brandi get preferential treatment again?

[ReaperCharlie]

Kito sad. Kito sorry.

Sending in now.

*backhands Kito*

Don't let it happen again!

[ReaperCharlie]

BACK! Back you devil!

[ReaperCharlie]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

|)/-\/\/\|\| |+

[ReaperCharlie]

*narrows eyes menacingly*

[ReaperCharlie]

I don't stalk her lol

Lies. All lies.

[ReaperCharlie]

computing...

[ReaperCharlie]

Colorblindness is no excuse, darn it!

[ReaperCharlie]

I don't get it. Is that like a spin-off of Animal Crossing meets Legos meets Another Day?

[ReaperCharlie]

I don't get it. Is that like a spin-off of Animal Crossing meets Legos meets Another Day?

Well, you see, you start by punching down trees with your bare fists, and...

Oh screw it. Have a tutorial video, I'm too lazy to explain.

HAHAHAHA! Yes.

Punching down trees with your bare fists, eh? Sounds like my kind of game.

(well, except for the blocky graphics)

[ReaperCharlie]

Wow, that actually looks really awesome. I watched the video and everything.

0_0

[ReaperCharlie]

I bought it last night, quite addicting... though when you are underground and it turns to night and you hear monsters growling it becomes quite disconcerting since you cannot see them

Dang it, you're making me want to play that, and I don't have the TIME or the FIFTEEN BUCKS.

If you buy it for me though I will have to play... sooooooo... your choice.

[ReaperCharlie]

I wish I had people creeping on me all the time.

Well if you would have come to SCUMSTORM, you would have met plenty of creepos >:0

Zorblag R`Lyeh and Internet Stranger FTW!

[ReaperCharlie]

O RLY!?! CAN I SEE THEM?

[ReaperCharlie]

Brandi's a slut. >.>

?!?!?!?!

*smack*

[ReaperCharlie]

That was gandalf. He started it.

[ReaperCharlie]

Your thread is actually one of the longest to actually complete, Nikanor... you only have two people left in your chain though.

[ReaperCharlie]

Not really SC, they'd have to be like providing the torrent link or something, for that phrase to apply...

[ReaperCharlie]

It's pretty good for editing photos. But I am also not sure how it stacks up, as I've never really used anything else except MSP.

[ReaperCharlie]

More pictures being submitted faster, is what we need.

[ReaperCharlie]

Things have tapered off a lot lately. I expect they'll pick up soon when people get back to their normal schedulse. No worries.

[ReaperCharlie]

Hehe. You'll get a PM, SC.

[ReaperCharlie]

awwww! ty!

yeah, it IS a buttload of work

[ReaperCharlie]

I hate when books have "Game" in the title and don't actually involve games. Disappoints me. A Game of Thrones sounds like one such series.

Speaking of which... have you seen this movie? Excellent.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119174/

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah it is! Pic looks broken for some reason so here it is again:

[ReaperCharlie]

Ever heard of...



?

[ReaperCharlie]

I've not received a pm since a month or so

I think we are waiting on Andrius to submit his colors.

This is true.

[ReaperCharlie]

Ever heard of...



?

C'mon Reaper, you know only Jesus can do that.

Yeah, I stand corrected.

[ReaperCharlie]

We may also be waiting for RC to pick up his PMs.

*cough!*

[ReaperCharlie]

When mith gives me root adminz...

[ReaperCharlie]

Andrius if it wasn't clear. I love you. That's why I haven't replaced you out.

Also, it was Christmas, and I'm not heartless.

[ReaperCharlie]

Andrius if it wasn't clear: I love you in ways no other man loves another, and would go to the ends of the earth and back for only a sniff of your hair gel, for but a glimpse of your smile, for but a touch of your cheek. Truly, my love for you transcends anything possibly imaginable, even by those heartsick lovers that wax poetic with their dying breaths. That's why I haven't replaced you out.

Also, it was Christmas, and I'm not heartless.

FTFY

FTFM

[ReaperCharlie]

(fag!)

[ReaperCharlie]

Just out of curiosity, how is the chain I started doing?

It's doing quite well enough. No worries there.

[ReaperCharlie]

Haha yes. Yours was particularly satisfying to watch play out. lmao

[ReaperCharlie]

Don't hold your breath.

[ReaperCharlie]

GTFO

NO

[ReaperCharlie]

Finally sent in my picture >.>

Finally sent in my picture >.>

Finally

Finally

Finally

Finally

[ReaperCharlie]

NO WAY HE ACTUALLY DID.

[ReaperCharlie]

At the rate we started at, it should have completed in 2 months.

At the rate it slowed down to, it will complete in about 4 months.

Also, relatedly, may I remind you that YOU were the one saying:

RC: You need

moar numbers

.

[ReaperCharlie]

Bravo.

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah I've already half-dash solicited Brandi to fill Kito's slot as well…

Two slots for Brandi = more awesomeness for everyone.

[ReaperCharlie]

yeah I'll put you on the list.

[ReaperCharlie]

Can you add more chains so the replacements get a chance to play

Don't worry, you'll get your chance!

[ReaperCharlie]

Punch the slackers in the face.

PUNCH THEM.

[ReaperCharlie]

anyways.

[ReaperCharlie]

Anyone else wanna grab their pitchfork and poke at people? lol

[ReaperCharlie]

The answer is No for now.

Until activity picks up there will be no chains.

This hurts me more than it hurts you, son.

*cries*

[ReaperCharlie]

Honestly, I'd be surprised if it takes more than 15-20 days into January, to be completely finished.

This is good news. Unless you meant Jan 2012

I'm sure I was talking about "if this current completion rate stays at the same level"

Unfortunately, at the Christmas break, everyone started slacking off.

But it's ok. I may have some surprises. Sooooo get busy people! <3

[ReaperCharlie]

Btw, seeing as I replaced in, am I part of any unfinished chains?

maybe you'd know if porochaz wasn't sitting on his sh*t.

i am getting ready to replace like 6 people.

[ReaperCharlie]

Thanks Ether, I've put you on the replacements list.

If I don't get EVERYTHING from EVERYONE within the next 48 hours, I'm gonna get replacements for those who are slackin'.

That is all.

[ReaperCharlie]

Porochaz says he doesn't wanna do it until the end of the weekend. Cause it's his birthday.

And because the last few weeks he's had it haven't been good enough.

Lol. I'm gonna replace him out now, and he can replace back in later if a spot opens up.

Oh, believe me. Porochaz's look at least as bad as yours (the few he HAS done so far).

He doesn't spend a long time on them either. He just sits on them for weeks before he "gets around to it"

[ReaperCharlie]

I understand that I have been a bit pissy and I have had one of my for 3 weeks (the other maybe for a couple of days) but to single me out is mightily unfair especially when I have had both of mine for less than some others and your basing it on quality. I promised to do the 3 week one tonight in a PM to you a few hours ago, I think its fair enough that the one I got roughly 2/3 days ago can wait a couple more days.

If you do them both now I will consider not replacing you.

[ReaperCharlie]

They're in the solicitation PM.

[ReaperCharlie]

...I'm

assuming

hoping

that the sudden silence in this thread means people are hard at work on their stuff.

FTTATM

[ReaperCharlie]

Hmm... Demand seems high for some form of "payoff". Would you guys prefer:

1. Pieces of chains revealed in this thread... to tide us all over until a grand(er) reveal at the end of all of this.
2. New threads started for each chain, so there can be plenty of comments for each, and they won't get mixed up together.
3. Chains revealed off-site (or on-site, with mith's permission/facilitation) in an easy domain name. (i.e. domain.com/epyc)

4. Tanstalas playing Halo with us for once.

[ReaperCharlie]

4. Completed chains posted - hopefully sometime soon...

>.>

<.<

So, 2 or 3 then? Choose your poison.

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah I'm hoping we can do something like: http://www.mafiascum.net/epyc/forum

And then we can release each chain in its own thread there (w/comments)!

*cups hands and yells* "miiiiiiiith!!!!!!"

[ReaperCharlie]

Allowing for comments is entirely unnecessary. All the comments will be anyway is "OMG LOL HILARIOUS".

Disagree.

[ReaperCharlie]

What I want to know is when quadz08 is gonna finish his/her picture. I have been waiting on him/her for quite a fair bit of time...

*hint hint nudge nudge*

[ReaperCharlie]

How bout anytime someone doesn't respond within 48 hours, you publish their name, and we all prod them 5 times a day until they do.

Sounds good.

[ReaperCharlie]

Sooooooo RC's a jerk. I've never actually been in this game.

[ReaperCharlie]

What. The chains aren't in order by author.

[ReaperCharlie]

*whispers*

_{"the device has been modified"}

[ReaperCharlie]

Oh, yes, I loved it. A lot of people didn't particularly like it, and a lot of people really really loved it.

It's more of a niche cult thing, if anything. Not a Pirates of the Caribbean esque "appeal to everyone and everything in every way" kind of style... I would classify it as an etherealist/escapist movie that completely accomplishes its goal. I was able to enjoy it for what it was because it's exactly the kind of thing I'm interested in.

Plus, tell me that Michael Sheen wasn't a riot, and that Quorra wasn't frickin' awesome.

[ReaperCharlie]

lol. I totally just realized. I'm just gonna create a wiki page for it and then have subpages for each chain. LULZ

/facepalm for not thinking of this earlier

[ReaperCharlie]

Agreed, sir.

[ReaperCharlie]

Tron Legacy was awesome

/returnstolurking

Right you are!

Ctrl- or right-click and save this, it's so hi-res.





Also, these rock:

[ReaperCharlie]

Noted, Tasky.

And lol, you guys.

[ReaperCharlie]

Yes.

Nah jk I missed it. Which order would it be in, in relation to the others in the replacement list?

[ReaperCharlie]

http://tron.wikia.com/wiki/Siren

[ReaperCharlie]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA owned

(except assassinations in mish mash don't count)

[ReaperCharlie]

(except Reck, apparently)

[ReaperCharlie]

What the @#$^ are you on, son?

Apparently one of you and/or Hoopla is on crack.

I prefer to think it's both of you.

[ReaperCharlie]

HOLY SHIT RC IS RIGHT

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY BECAUSE NOW I KNOW 2 PEOPLE WHO ARE AFTER ME

OH HAPPY DAY

So

going on my wiki. lulz

[ReaperCharlie]

Andrius and Xalxe have been replaced by cyberbob and Thestatusquo.

[ReaperCharlie]

Remember how you took two weeks to submit your pic?

That's altogether far too long. Faaaaaaaar too long.

[ReaperCharlie]

I was jk, gosh. lol <3

[ReaperCharlie]

its taking too long to get another pic

lulz.

You know who to blame.

[ReaperCharlie]

GET ON WITH IT!!!

GET ON WITH IT!!!!

[ReaperCharlie]

...

you've got to be fucking kidding me. @ my pm.

Bahahahahahahahaaaaaa

[ReaperCharlie]

Are you bumping ME? Or other people.

I do not need to be bumped. lol

[ReaperCharlie]

0_o

That one I must have missed.

[ReaperCharlie]

Plenty.

But I don't foresee any more replacements.

I could be wrong though.

[ReaperCharlie]

It probably won't. There's at least another month to wait.

When are you leaving?

[ReaperCharlie]

It's ok though. I'll PM you when it finishes and the reveal happens.

I can also switch things around a bit so you get your assignments sooner rather than later (there are limitations to what I can do though, so it may still take a while for you to get your stuff) so let me know if you'd like me to do that, as well.

[ReaperCharlie]

I'll miss you Kerrigan.

I love you Kerrigan!

[ReaperCharlie]

Shall do.

<3

Thanks for the help you've given!

I'll get in touch when it's over!

[ReaperCharlie]

Oh, yes.

Your next turn will come any day now.

Finishing a new "batch" now.

[ReaperCharlie]

*insert grumbles about the time since my last assignment*

You've got to be kidding me.

[ReaperCharlie]

Nope. If I recall correctly, you have one coming up soon as well.

[ReaperCharlie]

To be clear: I am very optimistic at the pace this is going.

[ReaperCharlie]

Don't worry; shaft.ed came early.

Again.

[ReaperCharlie]

Don't worry shaft.ed I'm already on my way out the door.

You can stop grabbing my wrist and trying to get me back.

It's over.

[ReaperCharlie]

Is it too much to ask that you keep the thread title to what we all recognise? It's not funny to change it now and then, just annoying.

Just to remind you guys that it's all still running, so that you don't think nothing's happening.

Remember, this is a long, time-consuming and overall pretty thankless job for me.

Try to have a little bit of patience/class in the mean time as you bear with the long wait.

[ReaperCharlie]

Here, play while you wait:

https://www.wizard101.com

[ReaperCharlie]

There are 18-20 chains in progress at the moment, some are farther along than others.

Like I said, this is a mountainous avalanche of work, and complaining don't really help!

[ReaperCharlie]

I added you to the list, but I doubt we will need you. You're the tenth replacement, so far we've only needed two.

[ReaperCharlie]

At least 20, with many more being mostly completed.

I'd say the whole thing is about 70-75% done.

[ReaperCharlie]

Maybe.

[ReaperCharlie]

It's all KittyMo's fault! It was originally a much smaller number!

[ReaperCharlie]

Well, it's really so you wouldn't see something like http://imageshack.com/andriusis1337lulz/epyc/2-1.jpg or something. It's all randomly generated, and therefore, functionally anonymous. Does imgur have that too? If it does, then have a whack at it, by all means.

[ReaperCharlie]

Oh, awesome. Imgur is allowed, then.

[ReaperCharlie]

What link?

[ReaperCharlie]

No, imageshack isn't allowed.

Specifically for the reasons I mentioned earlier.

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah I thought about it.

But then I looked at the lonely 2 PMs I got in the inbox that week and I said

LET THEM WAIT.

[ReaperCharlie]

LOL

[ReaperCharlie]

Well my average turnaround is more like 20 hours

I really don't care, because your pictures are WELL worth the wait.

xD

[ReaperCharlie]

No, I'm pretty sure Faraday is right up there with the absolute worst artists I've ever seen.

[ReaperCharlie]

probably cause the file path is

file:///c:/documents and settings/umbrage/desktop/lulzpics/me/loser.jpg

eh? amirite amirite?

[ReaperCharlie]

mask man replaces tanstalas (by tans' request).

[ReaperCharlie]

WHAT THE HELL I GET NOTHING FOR MONTHS AND SUDDENLY I HAVE TO DRAW FOUR PICTURES IN THE SPACE OF A FEW DAYS?

Welcome to the beast.



Blame random.org

[ReaperCharlie]

P.S. It

never stops

, for me.

So go call the Whaaaambulance.

[ReaperCharlie]

What??? You thought the EPYC account was me? LOL

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah, I think I will start just releasing them progressively and gradually. Perhaps it'd be best to set up a sub forum for this so each can have its own topic? I don't know... I don't want to flood the Mish Mash forum. I thought about making it its own website, but between this game and the two Metropolis games I'm running at the moment, I have entirely no time to devote to that. Maybe mith will just let me upload a forum to a subfolder of mafiascum.net, and then I can post the chains to different topics there. Maybe. That'd probably be my preferred route. Unless this game (or shorter ones, please!) becomes a repeat thing, run much more often by many more people, I don't really see it warranting a sub forum in Mish Mash.

What do you guys think.

[ReaperCharlie]

Xalxe suggested the Wiki.

That's probably the place to do it.
