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

Pangea, could Claw try to free you from Screech paws? Claw could think that with fight breaking out Screech might want to get rid off Pangea, since there is little reason to keep him alive. It could be unsuccesful rescue attempt, since Longtail is supposed to that later.

Or if he's to far away maybe throw something at Screech to try to get him to drop or let him go?

Hey, Pangaea, do you still want us to finish the fight before you leave on Friday? I'm just asking because for my most recent post in the RP, I had originally planned all of it for two separate posts, but I decided to save some time by putting the two planned posts into the one that you see.
At this point, I don't have a whole lot of confidence that we'll be able to wrap things up in time, but I guess I'd like to try to get as far as we can. (I'm pretty sure I'll have Internet access in Florida, but the laptop I've always used to visit the GOF when I'm away from home has been acting screwy lately, and I don't want to leave everyone hanging if Murphy's Law takes effect and it stops working.) Thanks for your concern. :)

I don't see why not. Mind you, GVG's last post already had Longtail preparing to attack Screech, so you'll want to get it done quickly.

Just an update: It turns out that I will have Internet access down in Florida, but as I said before, our laptop hasn't been working too well, which may limit my GOF activity. To say nothing of all the other things that will keep me off the computer while I'm down there.

That's good the know, Pangaea.

Now that I don't feel like I have to rush through the RP anymore, I would like to wait until the group at the top of the cliff at least acknowledges the arrival of Chronicler and Ruby, before I make my next post.

Do you think we're posting to fast for you to get caught up when you do return?  That is something to consider.

Yeah you can join. :) Just be sure to have yourself either as your "dinosona" or as a human. Here's the link for posting yourself:

You might want to join right after this plot is complete though. "The Battle" plot I mean. It's just so we can wrap things up here. :yes

& if you read the first page or so of the rp you may get ideas for how others had their characters introduced if you need ideas.

I thought I should repeat some information I shared in my most recent vacation post: I am staying at a hotel that charges for Internet service, :mad and to my knowledge we are only paying for one day of it. This means that, after this evening, I will probably not be able to post in the RP until Thursday at the least, possibly late Friday night or even Saturday.

Since the RP apparently hasn't been all that active in the last day and I don't really have anything to post right now, I'm going to at least take the opportunity to ask a couple of questions of the other RPers:

ï Myrkin, do you wish to have Claw and/or Chomper fight with Screech any longer?

ï GVG, do you want Chomper and Guido to let go of Screech before Longtail faces off with him? I could have Screech dislodge them by himself, or an/other fast biter/s (controlled by me, you, Amy, and/or Myrkin) could help him get rid of them.

Claw is currently chased away by another fastbiter, so he won't be fighting Screech. As for Chomper, it depends on what GVG will say.

Hmmm.. to be honest, it would be wise for Screech to dislodge his current opponents, because when Longtail attacks, he won't want his friends nearby in case of collateral damage.

Now as to how to accomplish this is up for debate. However considering Pangaea won't be able to post for a while, we can still converse and decide until Pangaea can comment again.

If you've been following my vacation thread, you'll know that I had a bit of a false alarm regarding the limitations of my Internet access. :oops However, tonight will probably be the last night I'll have a chance to post in the RP until Saturday (possibly late on Friday).

Anyway, I'll post in the RP right now and have Screech dislodge Chomper and Guido, leaving him free to be attacked by Longtail.

Well, I'm back, and I'm more than ready for Longtail to attack Screech.

I hope I didn't move too quickly with my role in the fight, which I have just finished. All I can do now is wait for everyone to end the fight and head back home to sleep for the rest of the night.

We also need GVG to post. I can't do anything until Longtail attacks Screech.
