AMEN XI: Raiders of the Lost Pie

[Saurous]

"Meh, I'm sure my player can think of something."

Saurous kicks the prone dragon knight.

"SP, I suggest you go do something productive, like making an interesting plot that will revolutionize AMEN."

"I would, but I think this armor is crushing my spine."

"Well, can't you class change into something that doesn't wear heavy armor?"

"Oh, right."

SP then abruptly changes to a Red Mage, and runs off.

[Vespe Ratavo]

As much as I love "chaos and randomness," he's right. AMEN is degrading. We will soon expire if we don't have a plot, or a game, or something cool, we will fall apart. Because some of us are more busy with games.
I LOVE DEAD RISING I LOVE DEAD RISING I LOVE DEAD RISING.
Carlos bolts back into his room to keep playing Dead Rising.

[Fus.Weapon 1337]

[Vespe Ratavo]

ILOVEPHOENIXWRIGHTITSLIKETHEBESTGAMEEVERIDONTKNOWW HYBUTITISITSAWESOMEYEAH
Shut up.

I liked Phoenix Wright too, but then I got Dead Rising. Best game ever.
Carlos barricades himself in his room to keep playing Dead Rising.

[Vhaidara]

Bookboy pops in.
You've got a point. When was the last time Maggot posted?
Remembering he's in a danger zone, he pops out.

[Saurous]

"I feel your pain, Vespe."

Noticeable Final Fantasy music can be heard playing in SP's room. Saurous throws the spear in, and it makes a squelching noise as it hits something fleshy.

"AGH! I'm working, I'm working!"

[Exachix]

"I love golden Sun: The Lost Age. Alot."

Exachix grins.

[Vespe Ratavo]

Hey, I propose a resolution. Seeing as how we are in Structured Games, I think we should get rid of our old open door acceptance policy. What I propose to be the new rule is that you either have to be a current member or invited by a member to post in any AMEN thread, our website, or to join our IM conferences. Anyone who agrees raise your hand.
Vespe raises his hand.

[Castaras]

Castaras raises a hand.

For the moment.

[Saurous]

"Um, I guess."

Saurous sighs, and raises his hand.

[Exachix]

Fox-Exy raises a paw.

"Why not?"

[Vespe Ratavo]

Saurous, why would you have a problem with it? If someone wants to join, they can ask a member to invite them, and if no one wants them, they can't join. Easy.

[Castaras]

Saurous, why would you have a problem with it? If someone wants to join, they can ask a member to invite them, and if no one wants them, they can't join. Easy.

Although some people might just come along and post anyway...not everyone listens to that sort of thing, and we do need more activeness around the place.

[Saurous]

Saurous, why would you have a problem with it? If someone wants to join, they can ask a member to invite them, and if no one wants them, they can't join. Easy.

"What Castaras just said, basically."

[Vespe Ratavo]

...
Whatever. Forget it.

Vespe tears up the resolution.

You all want more Nightwings spamming up the place, go ahead.

[Saurous]

"Good gods, a little reluctance causes everything to be abandoned and I'm attributed to Nightwing."

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Vespe, that would never work, trust me. Telling people not to post here if they're not an AMENite is essentially (though different) the thing that made the Radio Game fall into disarray, collapse into a small group banned from it's mother-forum (because It was 'more a role-playing game' than those forum games that used stats, despite the fact that it wasn't even close), consisting mostly of a few dorks who argue about Star Wars in Mando'a and one die-hard fan who can't make a comic to save his life but still thinks he's funny (wrongly).

Wait, what? Oh yeah. If you were to have gone through with your proposal, that would have happened here. I've seen it on more groups and games than you can count on Piratemonk's vocabulary."

And then, suddenly.....
NOTHING HAPPENED!
or maybe IT DID! But NO ONE CARED!

[thehothead]

(Soo... You just decide to join? Would anyone have an outright objection to me joining?)

[Vhaidara]

(You kill them. It's somewhere in the rules.)

[Castaras]

(You kill them. It's somewhere in the rules.)

( Just to say that if you read the rules, then you'll have found one particular rule that is the most important.

264. The Previous Rules really don't matter

So they aren't meant to be followed.

@Thehothead - Just put in a little thingy in your signature saying "__________ of AMEN", and you'll be in. )

[thehothead]

Check.
So now what... do I post my plans for world domination? Because I have a good one.

[Castaras]

Up to you really. We mostly just ignore the world domination plans and just argue among ourselves. We're famous for it.
Whatever.

Castaras summons some pies.

[Vhaidara]

Bookboy pops in.
Since Raistlin isn't here, let me welcome you.
He then proceeds to kill THH. And pop out.

[Vespe Ratavo]

Yeah, we never actually do anything around here. If we did, we'd probably be unstoppable.

But we're lazy. So we're usually just content to kill each other.

Vespe snaps Castaras' neck to illustrate this point.

Doesn't really mean anything, it's just like saying hello. Thanks for helping with the demonstration, Cassie.

[Castaras]

No probleeerk.

Castaras collapses to the floor. A clone walks in.

When you die here, some people, like Saurous, become ghosts for a while. Others, like me, have uncountable amounts of clones. Dying in AMEN is an occupational hazard, and doesn't do much harm.

[Exachix]

Fox-Exy nodds.

"And bicker... Some of us just respawn."

[thehothead]

Thehothead dies. His own personal timestream rewinds to a point when he didn't.

He adds bookboy to his list of people to throw rocks at.

PEOPLE TO THROW ROCKS AT:
My sister
My cousin
My other cousin
Bookboy

[Vhaidara]

Bookboy pops in and rewrites the list.
[QUOTE]PEOPLE TO THROW ROCKS ANTI-ELECTRICITY BOMBS AT:
My sister thehothead
My cousin Saurous
My other cousin Carlos
Bookboy Lord Lady Magtok Maggot

[Saurous]

Saurous grabs Bookboy by the throat, and and proceeds to rip his ribs out one by one.

"How many times have we told you to stay away?"

[Vespe Ratavo]

Vespe rips out Bookboy's intestines while Carlos chainsaws off his head.
We learned a few things from Dead Rising.
