Gracie likes the ladies? But he went to McQuaid!

At any rate, good for him.

I know Jonsey, Da King, and Straw and Blue.

Colorado base has been explained.

And Matt Gracie (AKA Lupus Yonderboy) last I heard is living in Buffalo with his now fiance Sue. But that's all I really know.

I don't see the big hang up here. I mean what else are you going to do? Join a fucking arts and crafts class?

Oh god, now I feel old. I deluded myself that at least Bruce'd be my semester, but no such luck it seems. Maybe I can keep pretending that at least Ben is a few older than me.

I am also thirty-one.

But have a nice day.

I can't speak for why everyone who is here is currently here, but personally I like coming to this BBS because the guys (and this includes you, Loafergirl) that post here really crack me up. I'd put it this way: the way our offices are setup at work, the guy who works in the one across from me can see right into my office and see my profile as I work during the day. I am certain that the guy thinks that I have something physically wrong with my face, because many times during the day I will hop onto here and wear a very lopsided grin due to what I see written.

Well, except when Lex posts a thread -- in those cases he probably thinks that I have a severe dandruff problem as I will be scratching my head trying to make heads or tails out of the words on the screen.

PS am writing a game in Adrift 3.9 (the latest freeware release) and hoping to finish it this side of this year...haven't written anything else.

Eric Mayer, who has written two games in Adrift that I really dug, used to post here a lot. I got an e-mail from him a while ago saying that he wouldn't be able to drop by for a length of time, but offhand I think he is the only guy who writes in Adrift that has been on this BBS. (I should fire him off an e-mail and see how he is doing, now that I think of it.) But yeah, certainly, if you have any language-independent questions or want to get a feel for IF things, feel free to poll us all.

Naw, I don't think so. Well, I mean, just in general, I'm curious--why here? Like, why have various people decided to talk and listen and reply here, as opposed to elsewhere? I mean, I'm here because I accidentally discovered the if community (having played Zork and such as a kid) and then the Trotting Krips website and then this board...so, I guess you could say that this board seems more analogous to my own personal background and interests than anywhere else I've seen online to date (plus the posts here can be pretty funny; a definite plus)--but is that the case for everyone else here?

The burning question is: Is this a text-adventure themed board? (he asked half-jokingly) And if it is not that (for the most part), then what is the tie that binds here?

looper wrote:I'll answer my own question; I'm 24. An additional question:

4. How many of you have written text adventures and what are they called?

"Not I," said the Debaser. Actually, I have three (3) Hugo games sitting on my hard drives in various states of (in)completion and worked on intermittantly. At least one of them will be released before the day I die (unless that day comes in the next few months, or something).

by **Roody_Yogurt** » Tue Mar 04, 2003 5:02 pm

4. I submitted a woefully unfinished comp game in like '99 or something called "Death To My Enemies." You can read Robb's review on the RFTK page (that reminds me, I still haven't really done much in the game to explain that you're a spy, not a superhero).

I also wrote a little Hugo code sample called 'Anne and the Terrordrome of Evil' as an excuse to write some Hugo code and submitted it to the if-archive under the assumption that maybe it'd help people because it was just SO SIMPLE that it would help other idiots like me. Of course, I now realize that it won't really, especially since there are especially annotated and neatly coded things like that 'Scavenger Hunt' game.

Absolutely nothing, save for the fact that she always substituted "teh" for "the." And "ICK" for ICJ." I don't think she did these things on purpose.

Near as I can tell, she was just one of those fantastically useless people I've come across in life that I can't forget for some reason, then wonder what ever became of 10 years later.

What should I elaborate on?

Consider this to be a special segment of "Jolt Country Storytellers." I'll play the part of Will Ferrel playing Neil Diamond.

Well, what the hell is memorable about this Amy Friday?

by **ChainGangGuy** » Tue Mar 04, 2003 3:23 pm

Let's keep this brief..

1. Zero. Although, it is rumored that 'gsdgsd' lives nearby.

2. I was prepared to formulate a response to this, but Jonesy has, as usual, beaten me to it.

3. Twenty-two.

4. I've never written my own game, although I have played Chicks Dig Jerks and FOD. I felt I'd gotten pretty far, but the save files are somewhere on my ex-girlfriend's computer. Oops!

Any other questions, looper?

I do not know. I have not met any of these people face to face, and with the help of the Lord Filbert "Jesus" Christ, this trend will continue. I actually scheduled to meet Jonsey in Vegas this one time, but I must have been subconsciously sending out Please-God-Let-Him-Have-To-Cancel-For-Some-Idiotic-Reason waves all across the land.

2. What's the significance of the Colorado base?

The Sysop is unable to come up with a decent idea for the base, and stubbornly refuses to just cut it out of the system, fearing that 38 different bases might not be enough. No, *39* bases, that's the ticket.

(This question is basically a poll) 3. How old are you?

How old are any of us, when you get right down to it?
