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

I also think that we should limit the amount we put into one post. While I don't think a one-liner does anyone any good, I have to admit that it is not easy to read 50 lines either; it is easy to forget specific details, especially when one is already on other RPs.

I regret to announce that I must back out of this RP. Please do not be offended because it is a really good RP, but I cannot keep up with this fast pace. Also I'm balancing the other RP I am in, writing my fanfic, and on top of that all of my school work. Anyway, I'm not sure if I will decide to come back to this RP or not, but for now I must cease participation in this particular one. Best of luck to the rest of you guys and I hope things play out well.
Oh, :( that's too bad. I liked what you brought to the RP. :yes I understand the school work thing, though. :rolleyes Farewell. You will be missed.

I imagine I'm one of the guilty parties. :p

Sorry, but that's just my writing style. I try to stagger out my posts when I can, but until Rat Lady lifts the one-post-per-day rule, I can't do it too much, or I fall too far behind. My posts tend to be much shorter when I am conversing with other characters, as I can only say so much before I need to give the other RPer a chance to respond. :p (For the most part, I prefer conversations over action scenes anyway.) Right now I am with Ruby and Claw (Myrkin), but sooner or later I REALLY want to meet up with Cancerian Tiger's characters (I talked with Cera earlier, but not long enough to satisfy me). I wouldn't mind a longer chat with Amy at some point either.

I can understand the long posts feeling to long and some feeling the need.  Maybe once the battle is over and chars are in 1 or several places the length may go down, at lest for a while, since there may be a lot of dialog for a while.  Till the next crises that is.

No offense to anyone, but I'm now a little frustrated. I've given good details of what I've recently done in the fight, but neither Screech nor Thud have done anything recently. I would certainly like to know why it's taking so long for people to notice this, especially considering how frequently people post there.

^ Sorry. :oops I just posted a brief scene with Screech (by coincidence, actually; I hadn't even seen this post yet). Frankly, though, I'm not sure exactly what to have Screech do, seeing as i don't know what you have in mind for him and Thud. :p (If you'd prefer to keep it secret, I understand. ;)) I don't know if it's against the rules of the RP, but as I believe I offered previously, you're welcome to control Screech for the purposes of your plan if you find my responses to your posts unsatisfactory.

EDIT: Actually, it turns out that I made the RP post at the exact same time you posted here. :lol

No need to worry, Pangaea. Now that I've just finished the fight, there's nothing for me to be frustrated over anymore. The main reason I didn't want to tell you what I was going to do is because I wanted that final move to come as somewhat of a surprise to everyone (I hope you like what I did :smile ).

Also, now that I'm done fighting, I no longer have to worry about breaking the one-post-per-day rule.

^ Yeah, that was pretty funny, :lol and not as complicated as I had expected. (I had anticipated that you would have found a way to make the cave collapse on them or something. But I like this much better.)

So I guess this means that the sharptooth invasion is basically over. (I, for one, am relieved.) All that's left is for Screech and Thud to leave the valley. (I'm going to wait for Rat Lady to post, to give Mr. Threehorn a chance to throw the fast biters out himselfóif he doesn't, I'm just going to have Screech wake up and skedaddle on his own, :p presumably along with Thud.)

Yeah, it was :spit!  I could just imagine what was goin' through their minds...

Screech and Thud (thinking): "Durrrrr...where'd he go?!"

Chronicler (thinking): "Up here, Beavis and Butthead!"

*Knocks Screech and Thud's heads together*

Chronicler (thinking): "Night, night."

Screech and Thud: "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!"

I actually got the idea for that move from a scene in the latest Bionicle movie. If you want to see that specific scene, it's the first 15 seconds of this clip:

^ Knowing you, I kinda figured it was inspired by Bionicle. :p Though it also reminded me of something the Three Stooges might do. :lol

Banging to bad guy's heads together to knock them out is done pretty often at times.  Still a funny scene if done right.

Hehe, nice way of knocking them out Chronicler, just simple as that. :D :DD

Well, once Mr. Three Horn helps you get the unconsious raptors away, we can try to communicate with another and get to know each other a bit through the characters. :yes

And, I'm also changing the post count from one to three maximum posts a day. No more then three.

My posting will be a bit slow in this RP for the next few days; I have midterms coming up... I'll add posts when I can.

Question: Is anyone playing Ducky and Spike's mother?  If not, I can pick this character up...

I would also like to know if anyone is going to play Chomper, seeing as the person who was originally playing him, Emeraldsunstone, is likely not coming back.

Originally jedi472 was playing her, but he had to leave the RP. Noname offered to take over the character, but I don't think he's posted anything with her in it yet. You could probably PM Noname and ask him if it's okay if you pick up the character.

I can pick her up. I'll add a post tonight with her. I'll have her move over to where Tria and the children are, just to check up on them.
