In This Thread, We Call Out Walrustitty!
I mean... WTF is this?!?! The board has been up for two weeks and not a "Jethro Q Walrustitty" registration / sighting?!? What the hell is this all about?
Is he not one of my oldest and dearest friends... he IS!!
Is he not as completely rabid about posting forums as I... he IS!!
Am I not a-waiting his registration to put him back in charge of one the modern-day reincarnation of the greatest Rochester dial-up forums of all time, the return of AB101: LGATG... I AM!!
Am I not going to be in this man's wedding, and therefore all questions and doubts as to whether or not a bond of strong friendship exists throughout all-time is effectively answered? I AM!! Er, wait -- it IS!!
In this thread we call him out! I implore you all to do so!
Even if you have no ide who the hell he is!
My exclaimation mark key has killed my period key! Oh no!

Honesty abounds, today!! Simply abounds. Er-- and astounds!!! Yes.
I will be honest in saying I've never personally met this "Jethro Q. Walrustitty" fellow. Although he does seem like a very fine chap, so I will be eagerly awaiting his glorious arrival.
...
He is arriving, isn't he? This isn't some sort of hoax, much too much like Jesus' purported return to earth, is it?
Besides, maybe he can finally solve my problem and bring an end to my quandary. Cause I'm TORN!! Ever so torn...
Help me, Jethro Q. Walrustitty. You're my only hope.

Do you honestly think Titty is going to show up over here? His board is more popular, he has the JC community over there, and most importantly HE'S IN CONTROL.
Why do you want him (and the rest of us, for that matter) over here anyway? Jeff's done a fine job providing a forum for us (for which he should get more thanks than he does), and there's not a whole lot of incentive to start a second set of discussions over here just because you want us to. Having a forum like this for your gaming interests is great, but trying to relive the heyday of JC by recreating the exact same forums and trying to get everybody from the JC crew to use 'em is a mistake.

In all honesty, everything before my last post over there was either in jest, light-hearted, or done with a certain amount of silliness in mind. I think you guys know me well enough to know that if I go change my sig to a "protest" written in 24-point type that I'm just joking around.
So when this thread was started, it was along the same lines. Never in a million years did I think anybody, much less a supposed friend of mine, could be so petty and insecure. I mean, Jesus, take a look at what we've been talking about over here -- Ben's text game that is in development, a hockey GM simulator, and a bunch of gimmick account, change-your-name silliness. All threads containing people who don't even have access to all the areas over there and concerning topics that (in the last case) bug the shit out of Jeff.
You were around for the dial-up days, so you know I'm pretty mellow. Gold already told me that he's only barely got enough time to check up on one BBS so he won't be around here, and that's perfectly fine. I don't think anybody on this site was expecting Jeff to pop in and drop a thousand messages down in a week, but Jesus Christ -- how much effort does it take to friggin' say "hey" on one of your friend's boards?

So basically, you're just looking for Titty to make a cameo appearance on the board, like Nancy Reagan did on "Diff'rent Strokes". *That* would not be out of line. Expecting hundreds of new messages per day here from the original JC crew? Yeah, that would be pretty unrealistic (since many of us have kids to take care of and all that good stuff).
As for it all being in jest, that really didn't come across in your postings on Jeff's board (IMHO). You might want be a little more explicit about that.

I gotta say -- it is pretty funny, here you are, Robb, trying to relive a BBS. Meanwhile, I used to write letters to fanzines for gods sake, endlessly, and stopped, so now, posting here I'm thinking, yeah, writing letters like I used to, so we all have our own agendas and none of them really work because it is 2002 and if you do exactly the same thing in 2002 you did in 1992 or 1982 then it isn't the same because the context is different. So, maybe that's more tragic than funny. One thing's the same though -- it is a good excuse not to do the actual work I should be doing.

Heh. Additionally, most of my free time lately has been spent (in addition to re-creating my hangout from ten years ago) solving "Freedom Force" with custom characters I made up in the mid-80s, a game like "Morrowind" which is a sequel to a game from 1996 (and before that, a game from like 1993) and then making up cartridge art from a game for a system that came out in like 1978 based on a book from the 1950s. It's enough to spoil your continental breakfast. (Blast! Did it again!)
I do apologize to everybody for the amounts of rampant drama contained in this thread. 'Twas not my intent to come off as Genghis Khan running roughshod over the Red Chinese Army.

Christ, Jonsey, as I said in response on my board:
Relax.
This is why I didn't want to discuss this on the board. There's no need for you to get all bent out of shape. We'll chat when you're in town.
Thanks for the support, Chris - I appreciate it. (Though quite honestly, "control" is not part of the reasoning, at least not consciously.)

I... what the?! The Red Chinese Army?? Pfuuh! Neither myself (Temujin to you, thank you very myself) nor my trusted aide Subotai clashed with any "Red Chinese Army." It would have been a difficult task indeed considering that they did not exist until hundreds of years after my death.maggot Student of Anti-History Jonsey wrote:I do apologize to everybody for the amounts of rampant drama contained in this thread.

Regardless of your problems with others, I choose not to contribute until you can at least learn a little history, you damnable tool. Chew on that for a bit.
Here, here. This is you, okay? This is you:
While those that do not learn from history are oft-doomed to repeat it, I believe it is quite safe to say that those that do not learn from crossing Temujin eventually end up with his fur-covered boot up their arse.Ice Cream Jonesy wrote: "Wow, Lenin sure got his ass kicked from the Starship Troopers!
