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

ooc: What's with the triple post there Cyber?  :P:  And yes, please wait for me.  :D

ic:


Morgan looked at the wolf staring at her now, as a whole pack of them had surrounded the group in no time at all.  The others seemed to have run into this pack before by the expressions and language used.  "So you two know each other?  Well that's just great," Morgan grinned innocently, taking a couple of steps back closer to Buff.  

"I'm a hare too," she protested, hating being called a rabbit all the time.  "Rabbits don't have the guts to do this," she explained, taking a quick lash out at the wolf closest to her with a clawed hind leg, but perhaps age or carelessness was catching up with her, since she missed her target and swiped at the air.  "Uhh...we're playing 'three strikes' correct?" she stammered.

Buff said, "Yes, we have met.  More times than I care to think about.  THe first one of you freaks that gets near this rabbit gets my hoof in your face!"
Myles smacked a couple of wolves aside with his antlers.  Blaze kicked the wolf that was attacking her.  Myles slammed his attackers into a tree and said, "Don't mess with me, fool!"

Buff growled at the wolves as they came closer.  (yes, buffalo can growl.)
Myles tossed another wolf against a tree.

(I triple posted?  Oops, :bang  :bang I never even knew!  :slap  :slap  :slap )

Greycliff is thrown against a rock by buff, a loud crunch is heard and his chest is in complete pain. "OOOOOW!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!?!" Greycliff yells in pain.  (assuming animals don't know what a rib cage is.)

Buff replied, "Uh, I don't know.  But I warned you not to get near me!"
Myles said, "Um, lets get out of here."
Blaze said, "Yeah."
Buff said, "Come on."
They ran away as fast as they could.
Buff said, "I didn't think I hit him that hard.  Hopefully, he won't mess with us again."
The moose replied, "I hope so."

Buff suddenlt stopped running.
Myles asked, "What's wrong?"
Buff replied, "What did I just do?  I didn't mean to hurt him that bad.  He may need help.  I'm going back."
Myles asked, "Have you lost your mind?"
Buff replied, "I don't know what is wrong but meybe the humand can help.  I don't care what he did, he doesn't deserve to suffer.  I'm going back."

Buff turns sround and goes back to where Greycliff was last seen, no one is there once he reaches the battle site.

THe buffalo looked around, puzzled.
He wondered, "Where the heck did he go?  He couldn't have gone that far if he was hurt that bad.  I can sniff him out."
Just then, Myles caught up and said, "Buff, this is a bad idea.  Lets just go."
Buff said, "You're right.  Lets go.  This was a dumb idea."

Meanwhile, Greycliff has reached Colgar and is in critical condition, "Colgar!  Help meeeee!" he howls as his left lung collapses.

Colgar said, "What the hell happened???  I warned you not to mess with that bison.  You didn't listen.  I don't know what to do.  I don't know if this will work, but maybe the humans can help you.  They helped the buffalo."

"No, it's too late.  I can feel my control slip away." moans Greycliff.  Suddenly, he gasps, "HARD TO BREATHE!  HARD TO BREATHE!"

(Btw, I have chapter 21 of Time Gate X up if you haven't already read it.)

ooc: You two are brutal.  :o  :P:

ic:

Morgan looked at the dying wolf until he breathed his last.  Catching up with the buffalo, she added, "Defeat him, you did, but I doubt that was the smartest of moves....wolves live in packs you know, so while you may have taken down one, do you think you could do the same to four surrounding you, teeth and claws ready to strike?"

She looked Buff in the eye before he could walk any father.  "You're a strong one, Buff, but you know nothing of how to use that strength.  You're smart to realize that wolves are indeed a threat to herbivores, but you are certainly not wise.  You have four feet same as me...use them.  Scatter.  Taking down a wolf does nothing else but give them a greater psychological boost to come do the same to you...and there will be many coming at once.  I've seen too many hunts in my time....they'll pick one to go after...and next time it'll be you."

Buff asked, "What are you suggesting?  I can't outrun wolves.  They run a lot faster than me."

Morgan continued to look at him, seriously, "I'm suggesting you think before you act, because soon you'll find yourself in a position you wished you weren't in--and it happened because you looked before you leaped...in this case you have a dead wolf and an angry pack of wolves licking their chops not ten feet away from us..."

She was ready to bolt as well, not wishing to wait around any longer.
