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

Dante looked over at the trees near himself, hearing a sound.
"Who's there?"
He asked, squinting to try and see the source of the noise...

Kaga looked around and then said, "Maybe it is one of the others.  I hope it isn't Virgil the Coward.  Taking on his minions was the biggest waste ever."

(ooc: I was wondering who, if anyone, wanted to play Ducky.)  

"We could go over and see together." Littlefoot suggested, looking in the direction himself.

((I'll play Ducky for the moment. :yes ))

Longtail stepped through several bushes and smiled as he noticed a large pool of water with several swimmers inside playing. Unfortunately because he'd never seen Ducky before he couldn't tell her apart from the rest of the swimmers playing in the water. He then turned to Cera and asked, "Uhh..do you mind...I don't know what Ducky looks like."

Cera walks over to stand beside Longtail.  She looked at the young swimmers.  

"That is her over there." She said indicating with her front right foot the spoke up louder.  "Hey Ducky over here." Cera said.

Having spent the majority of her life traveling and very little time playing, Strafe had never played the "splasher swimmer" game.  
She asked the others, "So how is this game played anyway?  I've never even heard of it."

Snork shook his head and added, "You're asking the wrong guy.  I haven't played many games at all.  I assume you guys know how to play it since you suggested it."

Dante nodded.  
"Never played before either.  I guess we'll all get to learn something new today, huh?"
He said, smiling happily...

Ducky turned her head as she heard Cera calling. She said bye to her sisters and brother sand ran to say hello. She stopped however when she saw the group standing with Cera and said in a trembling voice, "C-cera...there are sharpteeth behind you, there are!"

Longtail tried his hardest not to laugh, as he took a step back and whispered to Dante, "I think you'd better step back as well...she seems scared...although I'm surprised she hasnt' heard about our arrival...especially since we've met her mother."

"They seem ok.  They helped us fight some mean sharpteeth." Cera said.  Being Cera she would not see they were doing more of the fighting likely then she was.

Littlefoot looked around at the others, "We play it in water.  One is the swimmer and the others are the splashers.  The splashers try to not get touched." Littlefoot said.  "Or we can just splash in the water and have fun."

(OOC: I think this is how it's played, I"m not sure since I only recall seeing a brief bit of the game and may have forgotten if it was shown in more detail.)

Longtail smiled as Cera quickly defended them, and said, "Yeah, why just yesterday, we fought off a whole group of sharpteeth, and they had us outnumbered too."

Duckys eyes went wide at that statement and she muttered, "Cera is that true, is it, is it?"

Cera nodded, "Oh yea, we were all fighting off the mean sharpteeth earlier, these here were helping us.  ThenMr. Thicknose and Littlefoot's Grandfather showed up and they left.  Probably because we were fighting so well and they didn't want to face some grownups too." Cera said her pride in her voice and stance of how the fight had gone and how everyone fought well in it.

"Wow! How exciting it must have been." said Ducky with an air of wonder. She then looked to Longtail and the others behind him and replied, "Well if Cera can trust you then so can I yep, yep!" She then turned to face Cera and asked, "So are you all here to play a game?"

Cera nods, "We were thinking of maybe playing either swimmer and splasher or perhaps just splashing around since the new folks may not know the same games that we do." Cera said.  She looked at the others and Longtail, "What do you guys think?" She asked.

Strafe said, "Sounds like fun.  Count me in, guys!"
The thought of a relaxing day with her friends sounded very appealing, especially after the previous day's encounter.

Snork said in aggreement, "Ahh, I think i'm gonna enjoy this.  I never got to play games as a kid."

Dante nodded.
"After yesterday, just relaxing sound great!"
He said, a wide smile on his face...

Kaga shook his head and said, "I'm just gonna sit this one out, guys.  I'm tired.  I'll just watch."

Ducky giggled and replied, "I think Swimmer and Splasher would be a great game to play!"

Longtail nodded in agreement as asked, "So, where is the watering hole you usually play in?"

Littlefoot looks at the others around, "Seems about half want to play and half just want to relax. Maybe we can relax in the water, or do some splashing in the water, so that way everyone gets what they want." He said, "What do you guys think?" He said.

Longtail nodded his head.
"I think Littlefoot has the right idea. We could split the watering hole in half and those who want to relax can while the rest play swimmer splasher!"

Ducky jumped in a circle as she exclaimed, "Oh well then what are we waiting for....we should go yep, yep, yep!"
