TKG love it, very funny. If you visit the Apolyton Community Avatar advice needed thread. Could you reduce my avatar to similar size. I am afraid I am not familar with or expert at that sort of thing.

lucky22 · January 2, 2003, 15:48

Back after a week away and I've missed the damned elections! Arrgh.

Hercules · January 2, 2003, 16:11

I' ll have that last Black stuff and Talisker now. Drinks on me. Just been voted Director of Peace Operations. Thanks everyone.

Kassiopeia · January 2, 2003, 17:24

/me serves Hercules his drinks *

/me gesticulates wildly *

Where is DBTS!

Maniac · January 2, 2003, 17:46

With his girlfriend in a ski cabin in the middle of nowhere, trapped due to stormy and snowy weather with no chance to leave, only having each other as company??? Or perhaps on a Newyear family visit where he has to give three kisses to all his old ugly aunts and grandmothers?

Kassiopeia · January 2, 2003, 18:03

I don't care if it was his own wedding, the forum needs moderation badly!

Method · January 2, 2003, 19:29

uhm, since when is kass bartender?

regardless, in light of this new revelation, i need to start ordering drinks that are more difficult to make!

kass, i'll have a P4psi+fungal gin, with 3.8 ice cubes and 4 cherries, along with 7 xenobrews each with a salted licourice, the last 3 of them served in very tall glasses with the words "Xenobrew Inc." and one of those brightly coloured twisty straws just for fun

Kassiopeia · January 3, 2003, 05:14

I'm the assistant bartender, fungusbrain

/me repeats TKG's order to the recently acquired Morgan Drink-o-Matic, which produces a glass of murky green liquid that smells funny and seven Xenobrews *

Method · January 3, 2003, 13:10

Drink-o-matic? then what do we need a bartender for?

great job on the newzupdate tacticus

Lemmy · January 3, 2003, 15:07

were it not that Hercules is DPO, and not DBTS.

GeneralTacticus · January 3, 2003, 20:08

Okay, one mistake isn't that bad (is it?) Ill PM Markos and tell him.

btw, does anyone have any compaints about my topping the region threads as well? It will make it much easier to find them, even if they haven't had many posts recently.

Method · January 3, 2003, 20:36

/me coughs
directory
/me coughs

GeneralTacticus · January 3, 2003, 20:49

It's easier if you don't have to go to the directory, newbies won't know what it is, and some people just don't use it.

Kassiopeia · January 3, 2003, 22:05

Directory? What is this Directory you speak of?

The Directory is supposed to be some mythical place where all the usefull ACDG link are ordered so that anyone can find what he's looking for! Yeah...right, like something that wonderfull could ever exist.

Kassiopeia · January 4, 2003, 06:57

Yeah, definitely like too good to be true...

Pandemoniak · January 4, 2003, 07:37

I heard the Directory is about five miles northern of Shangri-La...

Kassiopeia · January 4, 2003, 08:06

You mean next to Xanadu?

(We have a base called that, right?

)

Pandemoniak · January 4, 2003, 08:31

No, I dont think we have any base called Xanadu, thought I'd love it. But Shangri-La is a mythical town of ruins whom no one knows the location of....

Kirov · January 4, 2003, 09:07

Hi again to everyone, and happy New Year of course. Bartender! Do you have something to cure a hangover?

Pandemoniak · January 4, 2003, 09:45

Another hangover, maybe...

lots of directory-bashing i hear....i'll stop doing it if nobody uses it

Drogue · January 5, 2003, 10:41

I use it. I think it makes searching for things in turnchats much easier, since it is ordered out by department rather than by date of last message. I use it quite a bit actually, when I need to find polls, or a discussion forum for a particular directorship, etc. I think TKG deserves much congratulations for doing it so well

Maybe he was in the mall and ran into a girl he hadn't seen since junior high school when she had a crush on him, and they tried to pick up where they left off by hiding their mutual attraction under a veil of low-key hostility, only to find their actions being dictated by forces more powerful than the will of mortal men, and he ended up visiting for dinner. And breakfast.

Not that I would know about things like that.

Hercules · January 5, 2003, 20:45

I use the directory. I thought the last update was very useful. So keep up the good work. I was also pleased to note our acdg game updates are posted in the main apolyton news. Saw myself listed as DPO on the front page, along with the others of course.

Re DBTS I hope he hasn't gone, because he made a valuable contribution to the game. Maybe he was really bored after all and wanted a war.

Hercules · January 5, 2003, 21:21

My next triumph was getting on to the turnchat albeit after it was almost all over. Guidance on using efnet or any other irc was buried in an archive thread.

For new directors like me it may be useful to have the turnchat access guidance notes in TKG's directory.

It may be useful to explain in a little detail some of the mysteries of the turn chat, So I am going to suggest opening a thread on how it works in practice, rather than it be buried in here, though it would benefit the xenobrewery conglomeration.

For instance does the commish have two PC running simultaneously, or have two or more windows open. Do experienced directors keep say the directory thread open or the last orders thread as well as the efnet chat screen.

New thread on turnchat mechanics being opened

Hercules · January 5, 2003, 22:22

On a ligher note, good to see contact made with Deirdre at long last and perhaps more especially her handmaidens.

Kassiopeia · January 8, 2003, 13:36

I was so anxious I doubleposted

DBTS already has a girlfriend, he has made it very clear how fine they are doing

, that wouldn't happen...

Wait a minute...

Elaborate! Now!

Mr. President · January 10, 2003, 20:56

Well, if, and this is a pretty big if, I told you that her natural hair color is brownish-blonde and she likes soccer as much as I do, I'd have to kill you.

Hm.

Say, can I have your home address? I need to send you . . . er . . . something.
