The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Journey To Longneck Island

The Score is 12-11," Stripetail called out.  Eva tied the score on the next pitch by roping the ball just inside the right foul pole. "There is a 20 run limit per inning Eva. In order to win all you need to do is be ahead by 10 runs after Snowpaw bats. If you reach the run limit  You'll be up by 9." Eva clanked a ball off the top of the center pole. "This is most entertaining." Stripetail quipped. Snowpaw looked crestfallen as Eva Touched home. Eva leads 13-12' He announced.

Odon looks around.  "Well, we are in sight of the Thundering Falls, and we are in walking distance of the great flowing water.  We're actually closest to the nests of Swimmers on the other side of the water."

"The five kids you mentioned exists here as well," added Guan.  "Of course, you met one of them.  The others should be around here also."

"So we near the falls? and the river. If you don't know the place well could easily get lost." Wayne said looking at Odon. Wayne thought of something , he pulled out a dinoton cube from his pocket "If I remember right about the cube it also could turn a dinoton into a Dinosaur... well that what I remembered about them" Wayne said looking at it then Guan. "How has it been being a dinoton?"

Eva felt pleased at this finding that her mathmaic skills was coming in handy able to hit the ball right on the right areas knocking them over and over again scoring more "This is going well" she thought

RipRap walks with Archer out the caves "That was a simple task, well looks like Wayne talking to Guan and his family. They came friends pretty fast"

"I'm getting used to it," Guan answered.  "I may have to turn back to my normal self soon.  Already, I started learning how to use the rifle, sword, and the bow.  I never truly knew how humans and Dinotons can be able to do so many things until I became one."

"But remember," Odon said, "That a dinosaur can do many things a human can't do."

----------

Archer looks where RipRap is mentioning.  "Yep, and Wayne's getting used to this world quickly.  I wouldn't be surprised if he chooses to stay here."  Deep in his mind, he thought, at least he also has the choice to leave if he wanted to.

"Mmm... maybe I will see what it feels like to be a dinosaur, I can use this cube to do it. What do you think? should I?" Wayne looks at Guan

---

"Archer his not from the central dimension the mishap caused this him to be from dinoton. But I can see what you mean though" RipRap said to Archer

"If it can change you into a dinosaur, then I have no problem with it," replied Guan.  "And now that I think about it..."

Guan presses down on the cube and is transformed back into an iguandon, just about over a third the size of his uncle.

----------

"I know," said Archer, "but he is from another dimension, though.  How long did it take you guys to understand this time and place?"

Eva scored 4 more times bringing her score to 21. "tHat's it Eva. You've reached the 20 run limit." Stripetail said. Snowpaw walked in from the mound, a look of total shock on her face. The other Snowpaws were replaced by Evas. "My Lord, I fear I'm going to lose." She said softly.'hitting has never been my strong suit." She lashed a ball, but right to the Eva playing shortstop. "1 out" Stripetail called.

"I am not sure what size I will be if I do it... cause I don't know what since what dinosaur age..." Wayne said looking at the cube "Oh well one way to find out" Wayne took his jacket and belt off first putting them in a hole in a tree he saw not sure if changing into dinosaur would affect his clothes as well. He pushed the button and changed into a parasaurolophus only 1/4 the size of a full grown one knowing he guessed that his age showed he wasn't as old he thought. In a split second he didn't adpat to the change soon as possible losing his foot landing on his chest and stomach with a thud. "ow... that smarts..."

---

RipRap couldn't help but laugh a little "Looks like the dinosaur form is a bit harder to balance for him" He looked at Archer "Back to what you said, he will gain the memiors of his dinoton self in the morning. it will take time for the dimensional shift to form about 12 hours I guess"

"Uh oh...  Let me help you up," said Guan as he walked next to Wayne, using his body as support.

----------

Then it will take me an even longer time for me to get used to the Great Valley, thought Archer as he watches Wayne with his balancing problem.  "Maybe we should go give him a hand...or a claw."  He looks off to the side to see Stripetail and what looks to be a group of Evas and Snowpaws playing what looks to be either baseball or cricket.

"Thanks Guan... guess that Dinotons stand up like humans would so that very simple but this... think makes it a bit harder for me." Wayne muttered. with help of Guan he was able to stand up leaning forwards a bit using his tail be manged to stand on his own two feet looking at his claws seeing a finger less. "I think I got it... not sure though... kind feel a bit off balanced still" Wayne said looking over at Guan

---

"Lets watch the game over there, I think Guan got it covered" RipRap said to Archer walking to the game that was taking place between Eva and Snowpaw.

"I don't how you two-legged dinosaurs handle with balance," said Odon, "but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it."

----------

Archer follows RipRap to watch the game.  "So who do we root for?"

"Guess I will with pratice... bit hard to balance compained with dinotons and dinosaurs I'm sure there a large differences between balance." Wayne said as he slowly took one step at a time taking a bit of time but after a few moments he managed it. "lucky just picturing what I saw before in programs I was able to get it quick... feels alot different being a dinosaur then a dinoton... like it natural" Wayne said standing their like a swimmer would seeing that he mastered the balance after praticing and using pictures in his head.

"I might stick like this for a little while just to feel how it like being a dinosaur" Wayne said walking steadly to the water looking at it he saw the dinosaur looking back at him. "Wow... look different as well to that of a dinoton apperance" Wayne said walking slowly back to Guan and Odon.

---

"I don't mind who, watching enough for me" RipRap said while watching it.

Wayne sees Stripetail while the two Snowpaw and Eva played. He wondered "I wonder if I trick Stripetail..." Wayne walked towards the place trying his best to walk normal doing a good job standing on the side looking at the game being played seeing how long it will take for Stripetail to know it was Wayne as a dinosaur.

Eva throws another fast ball curving it.

Snowpaw swung and missed. "strike 1." Stripetail called out. He then saw Wayne. "So you're a dinosaur now, eh Wayne?" How do you like it?" Snowpaw hit the next pitch deep into the left corner for a double.

"Let me guess you used your mental powers to spot me out" Wayne said to Stripetail before turning around and going back over to Guan and Odon to talk to them a bit more, to get a understanding about the Great Valley.

"Good score" Eva thought then throw another pitch.

No, I Knew it was you by how you were walking. While you tried to act natural in walking, you still haven't completely gotten the hang of it. You stumbled a few times, and that is what gave you away." Stripetail said. Snowpaw pounded Eva's pitch over the left field wall. "21-14. Nice hit Snowpaw. You very rarely hit homeruns." Snowpaw hit Eva's next pitch right at her "2 outs. Nice catch Eva." "Lucky catch Snowpaw muttered as she prepared for Eva's next pitch.

Wayne smirked turning around "Yeah guess it did...but only a few stumbles though, it harder then I thought it would be... but I do like a bit of a challenge. Even thinking of staying like this before sun set." Wayne turns back to walking over to Guan and his uncle.

Eva raised her paw back and throw it fast and hard right at the Eva with the glove behind Snowpaw.

Guan and Odon watches as Wayne comes back.

"It would most likely take a little more time for you to completely master it," said Guan.

----------

Archer continues to watch the game at a distance.  "This reminds me of some of the few World Series matches I managed to see," he said to RipRap.  "But I never wanted to play the game."

"I don't know the game at all... don't even understand it... a sport I seen humans have is called Rounders and it not a bat that large. it a one handed bat." RipRap said to Archer.

---

"Yeah... almost keep tripping over myself. it quite hard moving my feet and keeping a natural balance, but I hope to get it in the end" Wayne said walking back to them standing in front looking at Guan.

"Sounds like an odd game," replied Archer.  "I guess baseball was invented in the U.S. over a century from my time, but because that the U.S. was disbanded in your dimension, baseball never existed."

----------

"You'll get it in the end," Guan responds, "as long as you never give up trying again and again."
