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

Kor has a great bit of it right. but it wasnt the crazy crossover thread that I was thinking.. more or less someone randomly posting a topic about the  GoF somehow meeting up with the GV gang

and everyone who participated in that thread would be the ones who get transported, which doesnt mean we'd all have to be on at the same time

Could explain why some would show up in a dino body instead of a human one, they mention they would prefer that or would wish to be there as a x instead of their human one.  Any preference on size limits for the players, or not?

I think the basic thing is Aves goes into a magick shop.  A witch sells him a wishing stone.  It is a shop that sell magic stuff, incense and so on hence the k at the end of the word magic, instead of being a sleigh of hand store.  Someone posts something about it would be great to visit the great valley or the gof members going there.   I would assume some other folks post stuff like, yea but I'd rather be a ... (long neck, three horn, another type of dino, instead of being a human there)  Aves sees the topic after some others have posted to it and wishes something like, I wish that, or who would not wish that, and poof some of the gof members go there.  I guess whoever wishes to go to be in the rp.  One can assume it was whoever had put in a response before aves did his wish perhaps.

I think the wish stone goes to the great valley also.  Likely some baddie gets the stone maybe.  Perhaps a sharptooth, one of the bullies, or someone else, or maybe some plot starts a bit after others get to the valley.  I assume folks will be in different spots instead of being all together when they appear.  I'm sure Aves will post any mistakes I made, but I think I got most of the facts right.

Hello:
 Yep, I think you did, but maybe Aves may want to change things or to correct things, you know, since he will start it we may encounter oine or two surprises (or at least the ones who will participate)  :D .

Maybe to make it feel more like authentic LBT some songs have to happen during the rp, as well as some animation mistakes and continuity errors at times also.   :lol

TO add to the rp I even started a thread that Aves sees in the rp thread.  Silly idea but I decided why not.  Also did a crazy crossover of the GOF and LBT to simulate the post that gave me the idea about the thread.

Interesting back-story, Aves.
thanks, man

I'm currently giving everyone time to get into the RP, so I may give this another day before posting the big scene

Good idea. And, by the way, what I posted is actually true. I am trying to form a DDR club with my friends at school.

Good luck on the DDR club.  I'm sure you folks will have a lot of fun doing that.  & I"m not sure about being in this rp since I can't keep up with any other rp with the posts shooting in like a machine gun, i'm not smart enough to keep up.  Threehorn's rp is the only one i seem smart enough to keep up with.

Don't worry about it. It is just like a song that is too fast for me on DDR; keep trying. Don't just give up. Bad habits will build off of that.

Thanks, by the way, for the good wishes. We're trying to start a tournament to get money for arcade pads.

I try and if they do super fast posts I can't keep up.  Just me.  I'm sure there are others besides me like that out there in the world somewhere.

Hello:
 Maybe I may have problems with super fast posts, that's why I haven't participated so far, but I do want to give it a try and join a RPG here.

I have the same problem with super fast posts.  Maybe you can pick an rp and ask the gm to keep the posts to a certain number per day, or tell folks when you feel swamped.  Unless you have other ideas, feel free to speak up.  Any particular threads that catch your interest?

If you want to try this thread just speak to Aves, or talk about some of your concerns in this thread and Aves will respond when Aves has time.    There a number of options.

Here is the plan I added in my sequel to Enemies Inside (which is open to all. Check it out in the discussion board): One person posts, then he must wait until everyone else that is participating has posted until he/she can post again.

Pros: RPs don't move too fast.
Cons: RP Mod must monitor who is playing.
