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

"you could look around, with all this debris, it's hard to classify what's still open," Miss Kitty said.

"This place was hit pretty hard." Droopy said looking around as he and Wally walked around.  

"That's putting it mildly." Wally said looking around as well.

"Ah, my friend would really like the opportunity to speak to him," Tiger spoke up, he knew the receptionist cat, maybe she;d make an exception for a friend.

The kittens payed for their lunch, then went out to find Stripetail.

Look Sheriff, the mayor is not really in a mood to see anyone. those darn weasels have trashed the town, you can hardly step anywhere without getting cut by glass or debris, and then thee that stuff they threw on the buildings. one cat touched it and literrally burned his paw off" the cat shuddered. " so unless your friend is offring to help pay for the cleanup, I'm afaid he won't have a good reception.

I'll give it a shot " stripetailreplied " All i need is a few minutes madam" He said to the recptionist, as Mayor McFly entered " Excuse me mayor  stripetail said " I would like a few moments of your time.. I'm lord stripetail and ..
_ Yes you're the wizard that Gabriel person warned against me talking to, before she had the weasels completely trash the town' McFly said bitterly "Tell me, my LORD' he said it with unconcealed sarcasm " can you repair the broken windows of the town, and pay the residents the many thousands of dollars they will need to rebuild their lives? Green river is a small town, we do not have the money to clean up the glass, or to order new panes...let alone compensate those residents who have lost everything. Your games cannot be held in town, in its current state..
_
 we are going to hold them outside of town " stripetail pointed out ' in the mines and areas surrounding the town.
I want proof that you have any magical ability, wizard" Mcfly replied "that this is not simply a chrade where you put on these games while sticking your paws into city coffers to pay for it.

"He'll give his magic a shot," Tiger assured Mayor McFly.

"And not a moment too soon," Sagwa nodded, walking in.

Doe he really have any magic sheriff " Mcfly replied. Because I think he is just another snake oil salesman..
_
 Are you quite finished?' stripetail said coldly. "in answer to your pointed and needling question, mayor, yes I can do all those things you have asked of me. These games are not cheap to put on, and i am doing it out of my own pocket, to the tune of many millions of dollars.Gabriel is trying to destroy all the toons she can get her hands on, she has bankrupted or damaged several of toondoms richest toons..scrooge Mcduck, to name only a very prominent example. As or the glass, i can restore the towns windows to what they were before, and provide money for those affected to live on until things improve, but what i will not do is listen to a mayor scared out of his wits badger someone who is trying to help. I am far more powerful mayor, than you can begin to imagine, and you have the gall and cheek to question if I have any magicsal ability?' Stripetail said. He gestured and Mayor Mcfly was flipped upside down and hovered in the air so his underwear was showing. Tell me mayor, if I have no magic, then what is holding you up in the air at the moment? Stripetail said sharply Mcfly 's face was filled with abject fear "Please! Don't hurt me!" " i won't" stripetail said" and I;ll let you down, if you let us hold the games outside the town " Yes.. yes just let me down" mcfly shouted" stripetail lowered his paw and Mcfly crashed into the ground. "Now if you will follow me mayor I will taake care of the glass in the streets." Stripetail said turning on his heel and eading out of the room

Do not apologize Sagwa " stripetail replied " a wizard does not apologize for who he is, and I expect a certain level of respect and regard, if not for my rank as a lord, then at least based on what I do. I do not suffer fools..

The faceless detective decided to do a quick tour of the town by going from building to to another one seeing the damage so far and see if he could get any information.  

Droopy pointed to a candy store.  "Let's go and see if they are open." He said .  

"Sounds great." Wally said walking along beside him.

OOC: Wow, I'm having a bit of trouble keeping up!
Heckle and Jeckle heard their mule yet again, and went outside to get her, hoping to find a proper accomodation for her at last.

The mule stopped in the middle of her track, watching the glass rise and fuse together. She then turned around the path, braying with terror, and running over Heckle and Jeckle as they tried to catch her.
"I SAY, old thing! This just isn't her day!" Jeckle exclaimed to Heckle.

How.. are you doing this? Ranger smith asked coming up towards Stripetail. " magic, sir, magic. and this spell is nothing compared to what I can do> But this is enough for now" stripetail said as he continued to walk down the street towards the other end of Green river, and leaving the glass repairing and estoringitself in his wake. in about fifteen minutes most of the towns front windows had been restored, the ones that weren't had been destroyed by the dip or by bombing.
_
Say, could you do something like that for me, woody asked " This is not a parlor trick Woody, it is actual magic, real, difficult, dangerous, magic" stripetail retorted. ' besides we have to get ready for the first event. its in a mine called looker's loot' Tiger will show you where it is.

"Wow..." Kitty gasped happily, seeing her town be restored.

"This is amazing," Tiger added. He looked as the broken glass shards became whole again, window after window, and wall after wall fixing up.

"I think our place is livable again," Kitty beemed, running over.

Annabelle could only clap at the sight of this squirrel doing a very good, selfless deed. "Way to go," she smirked silently.

"Darn it, I missed the demolition," Belladonna fumed.
