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

Just then, Buff heard something move in the brush.  He stuck his head in and saw a doe, completely terrified.
He asked, "What is the matter?"
She replied, "Is the human gone?"
Buff answered, "He won't hurt you.  He's just a kid.  Come on out.  You're safe."
She walked out of the bushes.
Myles asked, "Who are you?"
The doe replied, "My name is Blaze.  My whole herd was killed by a pak of wolves and a mountain lion."
Myles said, "You are safe with us."

Buff said, "Hmm.  Blaze is a funny name for a deer.  Oh, well.  You'll be alright now."

A few weeks later, Greycliff's pack and Colgar have run out of food.

(Sorry it took so long.)

Buff, Blaze, and Myles were walking through the forest in search of food.  
Just then, Blaze said, "Wait, I think I hear something."
Myles said, "I think we're being watched.  Let get out of here."
(Would you like to join that parody rpg?  Nobody else has and I don't want to have posted it for nothing.)

"Damn it, we missed that one deer that escaped!" whines Greycliff.

Colgar said, "Don't worry.  I'm sure with the new pack, we can take them down now."

"Yeah." says Greycliff as he points his nose up to the air and howls.

Myles muttered, "Oh crap!  We just walked into a trap!"
Buff said, "Lets get out of here!  Tom't house is not that far away.  I don't think these jerks will go near humans."
As they took off running, Myles added, "Just some helpful advice.  If you run into one of them, I found that a nice, hard kick in the head is very effective."
(I'm going to have to go to bed now.)

They reach Tom's dad's house in time, Tom notices the wilf pack coming towards their house and he runs inside to get his father.  In less than a minute, Tom's father comes out with a 12-gauge break action side-by-side shotgun and loads it with fresh shells.  He carefully aims at one of the wolves and pulls the trigger.  THe wolf falls to the ground, dead.

(Good night.)

ooc: This is a big "if" but IF I get some time, I might join up in this one.  ;)  If someone can summarize this in one post that would be great....I don't have quite the time to look through six pages all at once.  :P:  Just bring me up to speed.

And if I join as anything, I might come in as a badger or hare.

Basically, a buffalo herd and a moose from Kansas migrates to Montana in the 1860s to avoid being attacked by a wolf named Greycliff.  The wolf meets a cougar and they go after the herd, after the leader of the herd dies, a younger buffalo named Buff and the moose (named Myles) leave the herd to look for the lost leader.  They are ambushed by Greycliff and the cougar (Named Colgar) and sustain serious injury.  They get help from an Irish couple and go on their way.  Menawhile, Colgar helps Greycliff get a new pack and they ambush a herd of dear.  One of them escapes.  Meanwhile, Buff and Myles come across this cabin in the woods and meet a boy named Tom.  They eventually meet the dear that escaped and they are attacked again by the wolf pack.

(Suggestion: A hare would be more likley to appear in Montana than a badger.)

Colgar ran at Buff and lept at him.  Buff became enraged and gored the cougar with his horns  He pinned Colgar against a tree.  The cougar screamed in agony as he hung from the bison's horn.  The horn hadn't damaged any organs but was extremely painful none the less.
Buff was about to finish Colgar off but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
He tossed the injured cougar aside and said, "GET OUT OF HERE NOW!"
Colgar limped out of site.  The rest of the pack retreated.
Buff walked over to Tom and said, "Thanks.  We would probably be wolf chow if you hadn't gotten help."
Meanwhile, Colgar was licking his injuries when he noticed Greycliff.

Morgan, the hare, sniffed around.  She could sense predators nearby.  Her instinct told her to freeze until she could locate it.  Twitching her ears around, she could hear huffing to her left, but it wasn't of a carnivore.  A buffalo.  She saw a cougar limp away, but there could be others, so why was the buffalo so collected and not trying to leave the area?

Maybe there was more to this herbivore than met the eye.  Crouching low, Morgan, inched towards the buffalo, if for nothing else, to see where the scent of the cougar came from so that she avoided that direction.

Myles came over.
he asked, 'Are you alright?"
Buff replied, "Yeah.  He didn't hurt me."
Myles said, "Didn't you say you would kill them if you got the chance?"
The buffalo answered, "It is a lot harder to actually go through with it than it sounds.  Sure, a meat eater like them has to do it every day but someone like me...  I just couldn't do it.  Hopefully, he learned a lesson from this."
Blaze asked, "Are they gone?"
Myles replied, "Yeah.  All of them."

"Pa will make sure they don't attack you again." says Tom.
