Some guy introduces some other guy to the boards who then immediately turns into a third class prankster while the first guy renames himself and gives his old name to someone else, yet later he regrets it all and wants his old name back - yeah, sure. I mean, come on, even in its best days the WWE wouldn't have come up with such a storyline.
Thanks, I guess.

For the record I don't care for my name back, and if I wanted it back I'd merely ask the current Lord Foul.

That may or may not be a titanic struggle in the future.

The only think I want back is a Mod-ship, but I assume they'd have to delete several wildly flagrant posts about me.

:lol:

And if you think BBF is/was hard to deal with here, imagine standing before him. Trust me.

Anyway. Take it easy, Sarge. I've already spoken to you in private. The dove rises highest after the storm has passed.

Carry on soldier!

I think I contributed a wad of WGD to Sarge last year...shortly before he gave all to Jenn during one of her thinly-veiled solicitations.

In any case, there is another White Gold Wanter who seems to keep my account balance from getting any too high. Guess I better get off my duff and submit my long-overdue story to Win Wayfriend's Money so I can restock.

Oy...

I know of one cartoon character I want to use, but a story-teller, especially in a chrons setting, I am not. If only I had some semblance of an idea...

Could you not do a synopsis instead?

Synopsis?
in the [url=https://kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=900000#900000]Win Wayfriend's Money[/url] thread, Wayfriend wrote:Each Survivor must propose a character from an actual kids cartoon show that Donaldson should introduce into The Last Dark as a major new character. And they should explain, in a bit of detail, how the character fits into the narrative, and the impact that the new character will have on the overall plot.
I don't see how a synopsis would fit in to those definitions...

~*~edit~*~
Oh.
...unless you mean write a synopsis of the story I visualize, without writing the story?

hmm...

Isn't that pretty much what he's asked for? An overview of how it'd work?

There's too much drama in this storyline. So I finely grated some nutmeg over it and fed it to the dog but it kept throwimg up.

I would like WGDs for all the "How Do You Feel Today?" threads, adjusted for inflation. Which comes to 420 Foul Ducks and a Sunbane.

Plus a soul.

Null: you owe me 25% of what they gave you for stickying your Hall threads.

The Beast is a fictional character, a superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a founding member of the mutant team of superheroes known as the X-Men. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in X-Men #1 (September 1963).

Image

When first introduced, the Beast—a mutant—possesses ape-like superhuman physical strength and agility and oversized hands and feet, though he otherwise appears to be a normal human being. Throughout his history, the Beast— undergoes progressive transformations to his physiognomy, permanently gaining increasingly animalistic physical characteristics. These include blue fur, feline facial features, pointed ears, fangs, and claws. His physical power increases to even greater levels, as do his senses.

Despite his inhuman appearance, he is a brilliant man of the arts and sciences; he is a world authority on biochemistry and genetics, the X-Men's medical doctor, and the science and mathematics instructor at the Xavier Institute (the X-Men's headquarters and school for young mutants). He is also a mutant political activist. Fighting his bestial instincts and fears of social rejection, the Beast— dedicates his physical and mental gifts to the creation of a better world for man and mutant. He also has a witty sense of humor.

One of the original X-Men, the Beast— has appeared consistently in X-Men-related comics throughout the years. He has also been a member of the "all-star" teams the Avengers and Defenders.
