"The Teller of Tales."


Posted. Cookie goes to the person who guess the orgin of the name of the ship Pym is riding.

Another good post, Lonestar. In fact, it was one of your better posts with more detail and characterization.

I'll post the response to the arrival of Pym in Earth. Afterwards, you can post Pym's arrival in the city itself and the proceedings.

Afterwards, I could post the Academician shaking Pym's hand and putting his own signature on the treaty paper itself.

How's that?

You guys are making me want that game so bad.

Is it possible to scan the cards so I can print them out? Just wondering if thats possible, so I could give it a try. Hell, if its possible, we could play a game via PM's or something.

Some people sell the Decipher cards on eBay. The prices are pretty good, generally. TrollandToad.com has a few cards, but nowhere near a full set.

If there's a specialized games store within driving distance of you, they might have some still around. I don't think they stopped making it that long ago.

Yah. I'm still hunting for my entire collection of Imperials.....still need General Veers, Darth Vader (traded him away! I was a fool!) and the Emperor.

I never checked out stardestroyer.net.

I go to imperialnexus.net or

Thanks guys. I'll look into it.

[Mr. President]

On another topic, I know it's difficult to wait for slow people like me to post, but I didn't know you were desperate enough to become an OT poster!

Just kidding man.

[Frankychan]

My bad. I'm still thinking of how I can start this off without fudging it up too bad. I'll have it posted up within a few days. I have my government employment test on Sat so my mind is concentrated on that for the most part.....

Sorry 'bout my slacking.

[Mr. President]

I was actually talking about my slacking.

You have an excuse for not posting! I'm on vacation - well, at least until Monday.

What sort of job are you applying for?

[Frankychan]

State job. Mostly clerical though. But over here, once you get in you can move laterally. Unfortunately, since my family's name is known fairly well in the area where I want to work, I stick out like a sore thumb. I plan on going into the Department of Public Safety where I can hopefully get a job in Administration in Corrections.

I'm sure you have a smackload of stuff to do as well, Crimson. You should enjoy your vacation, not stress out about it.

But from my history in BAC, me slacking shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

[Sovereign]

It should be easy for you to get your job and get promoted, Franky.

Good connections always pays off.


Prez, I got so bored I decided to hop to the OT forums. However, there are just a few threads I like to read. Most of it, I don't even bother replying to.

I guess I have too much time on my hands then.

[Mr. President]

Connections rock! That's how I finished my high school work experience requirement really easily. I did it at the Faculty of Arts at the university where my parents teach.

I understand. Mostly the OT is just the usual fights: Imran vs. GePap, Urban Ranger vs. anybody American, Fez vs. everyone . . .

[Frankychan]

Yer right. I just cruise the OT and reply to a few. Since my views are...erm...."worker-friendly" I have some others that see things like I do. But it's fun to participate in those threads every now and then.

As for the job...well....I wanna see how far I can get without any help. I figure I'll go as far as I can without any help and that'll show just how far I can push myself. But if I really need help, I'll see if I can pull some strings.

[Frankychan]

You also forgot AECCP vs. CPA.

[Mr. President]

I also forgot Zionists vs. Euro-Palestinians.
