MEET AND GREET with FISHSTICKS, DUKE of CALAMARI |
Galinfenner takes two Fishsticks stands triumphantly Galinfenner says, "afk for a minute, I need a drink" "DOn't we all", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner asks, "we all here?" Galinfenner looks around dataspace "I guess we can get started.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner drags Fishy up on stage "Give it a minute", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner says, "ahh. Ok" Don Palitos de Pescados Fishsticks has just vanished. Don Palitos de Pescados Fishsticks has appeared with a shimmer of teleportation effect. Galinfenner chuckles "Sorry, my own brand of advertising", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner asks, "Ok we all here now?" Galinfenner grins "Welcome everyone to another rendition of Meet and Greet", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "Tonight my guest is Fishsticks" Fishsticks stands triumphantly on the stage Galinfenner waits for applause and hears crickets instead Fishsticks points at his slave, Cricket Devor watches the tumbleweed "Stop that", says Fishsticks. Halcyon applauds and howls for Fishy Cricket applauds loudly Galinfenner asks, "Fishsticks, how did you find out about Fed?" Fishsticks wonders where he put his other slave Fancy claps his paws together. "I found out about it from Phedre", says Fishsticks. "I didn't try it out for about four months", says Fishsticks. "How did you know Phedre?", asks Galinfenner. Fishsticks says, "Then, I was bored, and popped in" Galinfenner nods "Met her from a mutual blogging site", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner smiles "You're a blogger, Fishy?", asks Halcyon. "Once upon a time", says Fishsticks. "That's fallen by the wayside", says Fishsticks. "whats a blogger?", asks Wirebreak. "Web lob?", asks Fishsticks. Fishsticks says, "Online Diary, basically" Halcyon smiles, "awww..I need more good people to link on my site." "web log", says Galinfenner. "Er...log", says Fishsticks. Wirebreak says, "ooooooo" "So, what'd you think when you finally came in?", asks Galinfenner. "It wasn't my first MUD, and most of my previous ones had disappointed me.....", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks says, "So I was more than ready to be disappointed" Galinfenner nods Fishsticks chuckles Fishsticks says, "Obviously, I wasn't, since that was a year ago" "did we dissapoint?", asks Paladin. Fishsticks says, "A year and a month, in fact" "So I stuck around", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner asks, "Was there anyone you remember who helped you out?" "Phedre, gave me a hand, Blirish gave me a hand, Gypsy......", says Fishsticks. Halcyon whispers to Fishy, "Say Galin helped you...he needs an ego boost." "Those were the big three", says Fishsticks. Halcyon chuckles. Galinfenner nods Wirebreak sits and remembers the names from the past. "I remember I made it to JP and I didn't even know how to trade, so many people were eager to help me", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner chuckles Galinfenner asks, "How long was it before you were a PO?" Gangleri exclaims, "Not even a week!" "What he said", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner grins Halcyon blinks, "Gangleri!" Halcyon has given Gangleri a tender hug! Paladin snorts "I'm the original one, not him", says Gangleri with a wink. Galinfenner asks, "Did you have trouble with the exchange?" Gangleri says, "He's nothing but a Third edition" "who was second?", asks Wirebreak. Fishsticks slaps a bandage over Gang Galinfenner ties you both together "Trouble in the exchange? But of course", says Fishsticks. "I had no idea what to do", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner nods "Someone offered me a hauling job, and I said "a what?"", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks shrugs Fishsticks winks and says, "I didn't even know what an ex was" Galinfenner grins "Grand, ain't it?", asks Fishsticks. Galinfenner asks, "What made you stick around?" Fishsticks says, "Skeletor was the second edition, Wire" "I stuck around because of the planet aspect", says Fishsticks. "And the people were kinda nifty, too", says Fishsticks. Wirebreak says, "oh yeah.... I forgot" Fishsticks winks and says, "Urissa and I were a thing, at the time, and she was also an enducement" Galinfenner nods Urissa blushes Fishsticks says, "nNd that was a terrible pun, Galin" "And, too", says Fishsticks. Devor grins "So you liked the planet design?", asks Galinfenner. "Sure..it was nifty....Andante is still what is was when I was only Gang", says Fishsticks. "What IT was, too", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks evidently can't talk, today Galinfenner grins Fishsticks says, "And it was also different" Fishsticks says, "I went in and wrote in the WB, at first, but then I finally understood Genesis, and it was good" Urissa nods, looking at Allegro Galinfenner says, "oh yeah." Galinfenner asks, "You were a contestant on the final Survivor. What was that like for a relative newbie?" "I was shanghaied!", exclaims Fishsticks. Fishsticks chuckled Fishsticks says, "Totally sucker punched" Urissa nods Paladin says, "totally" Galinfenner grins "How so?", asks Galinfenner. "And then Pally was, the very next day", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks says, "We were on the team with a contingent from Serenity" Galinfenner nods "We paid the price for not being part of the Blirral Horde, as I liked to call them", says Fishsticks. "we were toast as soon as the teams were announced", says Paladin. Galinfenner chuckles Devor grins Urissa sighs, remembering "On the flip side, I made Techie five minutes after I was booted", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks says, "From Survivor, I mean" Galinfenner asks, "you mentioned your relationship with Urissa, have there been others?" Fishsticks says, "Newp" Paladin leans forward Fishsticks winks and says, "She's my one and only, Fed-wise" "Aw, that's no fun.", smiles Halcyon. Galinfenner grins "You watched Hal?", asks Galinfenner. "But it's the truth, Hal", says Fishsticks with a wink. Fishsticks chuckles Halcyon winks and says, "No juicy, sordid Fed relationships?" Galinfenner laughs Devor says, "the people demand scandal" Fishsticks says, "We actually had a race, and we were to get married when we both hit Baron" Urissa smiles at Fishy Galinfenner nods "Of course....I DDed the day I made Baron", says Fishsticks. "Well...the day after", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner asks, "in a fighting event?" "I won, by the way", says Fishsticks. Urissa remembers that "Nah, in an Xslaught related porter accident", says Fishsticks. Devor says, "i think that is the most extravagent way i've ever heard of to avoid a wedding" Galinfenner grins Halcyon chuckles, "Worse than TJ, you were." "My second DD, which was a month after the first, was in a fighting accident", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner nods Galinfenner asks, "Was that last time?" "this was when the jokes started to run around", says Paladin. "So far, anyway", says Fishsticks with a wink. "What happened in the fighting one?", asks Galinfenner. Fishsticks has no plans on DDing at the end of the M'n'G ;) "I unsured instead of insured", says Fishsticks. "How can you tell it's Monday?", asks Paladin. Galinfenner grins Paladin says, "Cause, Fishie is a GH" "I became much more...unstable....after my second DD", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner chuckles "Gang was a pretty serious guy", says Fishsticks. Urissa nods "not put back together quite right?", asks Galinfenner. "Skeletor was Skeletor", says Fishsticks. "Fishsticks was a nickname that I took on because everyone called me that, anyway", says Fishsticks. Halcyon winks and says, "And you're just plain batty?" "And the Food jokes started", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks says, "And I just lost it, totally" "Like cheese?", asks Cptmartin. Galinfenner says, "It was listed as your nickname in Survivor" "Totally off the cuff, too", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner nod "I forgot about it, until it was a question in one of the events in Survivor", says Fishsticks. "What about your favorite statement? where did that come from?", asks Galinfenner. "And then everyone was calling me that", says Fishsticks. "Which statement is that?", asks Fishsticks. "Cheese... of course", says Galinfenner. Fishsticks can think of several things he says with regularity Fishsticks says, "Yanno.....I have no idea" "Maybe someone made a tartarsauce joke, and I just changed what I was dipped in", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks smiles, "Maybe I'm nuts" Galinfenner smiles, "Ok" Ayanna thinks so. "Maybe it has to do with a song by Less Than Jake", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks says, "I've lost track" "Do you have an embarrassing moment you can share with us?", asks Galinfenner. "Unlike most people at this moment, I have no cyber experiences to spill here", says Fishsticks. "However, DDing twice in less than one month, I think, is pretty damn embarassing", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner winks and says, "They haven't all been sexual in nature" "That is good enough", says Galinfenner. Fishsticks says, "Especially when I came back as Captaingantu" Fishsticks says, "It was just....missing something" Galinfenner laughs Fishsticks says, "He lasted all of five minutes" Fancy chuckles. Galinfenner asks, "Where do you hang out mostly these days?" Snowlily had forgotten that one "time enough to get a ship", says Wirebreak. "And getting DDed by Xslaught was embarassing, because I thought I was outwitting her", says Fishsticks. "No such luck", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner chuckles Fishsticks says, "Actually, I didn't think I was outwitting her" Galinfenner says, "X will be glad to hear that." "I just thought I was doing enough to not get killed", says Fishsticks. "Tell us what happened.", says Galinfenner. Fishsticks winks and says, "Nah" Fishsticks chuckles Fishsticks says, "Oh, fine" Galinfenner says, "oh come on" Galinfenner grins Fishsticks says, "I was checking out her planet, and she came on, and we were walking around talking" Fishsticks says, "And we must've walked through a death loc, that I didn't notice" Fishsticks says, "I then teleported into space" "Accidentally", says Fishsticks. Devor slaps his head "But still", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner chuckles Galinfenner asks, "you typo'd a teleport?" "Loc 10 instead of loc 19", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner grins "If you could change something about Fed, what would that be?", asks Galinfenner. Fishsticks says, "Thus Gang went poof" Fishsticks ponders Fishsticks says, "I think I would put it back in a big service like AOL" Devor exclaims, "make it rain gum drops!" Devor says, "damn" Fishsticks says, "Lotsa people played when it was there, from what I hear" "Awww shucks", says Ravdoss. Fishsticks never played when it was in AOL Galinfenner says, "hundreds" "And, now, I don't think Fed gets 100 on a good day", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks winks and says, "But, that's just me" "I'm not Lenton", says Fishsticks. Devor says, "they were the glory days Fish, you missed out =-(" Wirebreak says, "remembers the aol days." "What advice would you give to a new person?", asks Galinfenner. "Learn how to trade", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks chuckles Galinfenner grins "AOL ruined Fed...sorry..I had to say that", says Paladin. Fishsticks says, "Otherwise, you're clueless when the time comes" "I can't really comment either way, Pally", says Fishsticks with a wink. Snowlily smiles and nods to Ravdoss "changed, ruined. all perspective", says Devor. Galinfenner asks, "Does anyone have a question for our guest?" Fishsticks says, "This is the part I've been waiting for" "Grill me, people!", says Fishsticks with a wink. Halcyon squirms and waves her hand frantically. Snowlily chuckles Galinfenner asks, "Hal?" "I heard (from a source who shall remain nameless) that you're planning to leave Fed soon...is that true?", asks Halcyon. "First, the source was me", says Fishsticks. "Second, I'm not sure", says Fishsticks. Halcyon laughs. Fishsticks says, "I plan on trimming the fat, as it were, at least" Devor laughs Fishsticks says, "The alts days are prolly numbered" Fishsticks says, "I just hafta choose which alts to go" "does that mean i get that 3 gigs?", asks Devor. Ayanna says, "I do." "Sorry, Devor.", says Ayanna. Fishsticks winks and says, "Whoever is left does" Galinfenner grins "well... can i get the 50ig you stole from me at least?", asks Devor. Fishsticks says, "Hy's got the numbers advantage, however" Galinfenner asks, "50 groats he stole?" Hyacinthe GRINS "he mugged me", says Devor. Fishsticks says, "And he's also the oldest" "when was this?", asks Galinfenner. "Earlier tonight", says Fishsticks. Devor grins "Indeed", says Ravdoss. Fishsticks says, "He tried to charge me interest" Galinfenner asks, "THought Gang was the oldest?" Fishsticks says, "So I migged him" "not to mention he owes me interest on a groat i let him hold", says Devor. "Not anymore", says Fishsticks with a wink. Galinfenner grins -THE- Ayanna has just gone north. "Mugged, him, too", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner asks, "anyone else have a question?" Fishsticks is sorta disappointed Fishsticks was hoping for a myriad of questions Shel smiles Devor wracks his brain "I have a question", says Shel. Cricket waves her hand Fishsticks thought he was crazy enough to get lotsa questions Galinfenner says, "Yes Shel" Shel smiles, "what is that large red plume all about?" "I was knighted", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks chuckles Shel says, "ahhhh" "Back when I was a Techie", says Fishsticks. Devor asks, "are you sure it doesn't have more fruedian roots?" "As Fishy", says Fishsticks. Shel asks, "by whom?" Galinfenner asks, "By whom?" Fishsticks says, "And GSW knighted me while Zyphr was hosting" "There's a log out there somewhere", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner grins Halcyon smiles, "Oh...Sir Sticks o' Fish!" "I am a member of the Order of the Wolf", says Fishsticks. "And, knights have plumes", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner nods Halcyon nods. "Therefore, I have a plume", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner says, "so do loggers" "so", says Shel. "And my slicker in invulnerable", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks says, "So I have armor" Galinfenner says, "oh wait, that's flumes" "a slicker and a plume", says Shel. Paladin says, "a plume? lol" Devor pats Galin on the back for at least trying Galinfenner grins Fishsticks says, "And the plume has been with me ever since" Devor asks, "will you howl for us then?" "I don't howl", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks chuckles "thank god", smiles Paladin. Shel says, "he" Fishsticks says, "I scream Cheese, occasionally" "cheeses", says Shel. Shel giggles Galinfenner laughs "I heard you are planning a Fed Meet in Atlanta?", asks Galinfenner. Devor frowns "So, when did you go all wonky in the head?", smiles Halcyon. Halcyon snorts, "Yeah, Fishy...what about that Fed Meet?" "I was, but I haven't heard anything from anyone about anything", says Fishsticks. Halcyon glares at Fishsticks. Fishsticks says, "Even those people that live in Atlanta" "so then it's off?", asks Galinfenner. Wirebreak lives in Atlanta. "There's still a coupla months", says Fishsticks. Halcyon blinks at Wirebreak, "You do?" Fishsticks chuckles Halcyon asks, "What area?" Wirebreak says, "Marietta" Fishsticks says, "Something could be whipped up" "I don't know if I could make it, now, is the thing", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner grins Galinfenner nods "I have a question..well, its a two parter", says Paladin. "yes Paly", says Galinfenner. Paladin asks, "do you live irl in Atlanta?" "And I am wonky in the head by nature, Hal", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks says, "No" "Ooh, I'm in Chamblee.", smiles Halcyon. "I live in NY", says Fishsticks. Wirebreak says, "I probably wouldn't be able to do it either, between work and school, the next couple of months is going to be fun" "ok..second part..why are you planning a meet in Atlanta?", asks Paladin. Fishsticks says, "When I'm at school, I live in Binghamton, and when I'm not, I live on Suffolk County" Fishsticks says, "People voted for Atlanta" "Yay for Atlanta!", smiles Halcyon. Fishsticks says, "All the Atlantans voted for them, and then they all shut up" "but, why are YOU planning it?", asks Paladin. "So it's just like they support their sports teams, really", says Fishsticks. Galinfenner grins Halcyon grumbles, "Okay, Fishy...I'll start helping you plan it again." Fishsticks says, "Well, I wanted an East Coast Fed Meet" Halcyon smirks. Wirebreak says, "oooooooo, nice one Fishy" Devor says, "Atlanta is too far" Fishsticks says, "Cricket said she had a question, too, I think" Galinfenner asks, "yes Cricket?" Fancy suddenly has one pop into his head. Galinfenner looks from Fancy to Cricket "Yeah, I want to know what you expect from your slaves?", asks Cricket. Fishsticks says, "Not too much" Fishsticks says, "I expect you to sit through this thing" Fishsticks chuckles "Then you can do whatever you like", says Fishsticks. "I've planned stuff before..and unless you live in the city where its at, it is virtually impossible", says Paladin. "Not a problem.", says Cricket. Fancy winks and says, "What's your favorite kind of cheese, Fishy?" Galinfenner winks and says, "I'd think it would help to know something about the city" Fishsticks exclaims, "The question I've been dreading!" Fishsticks chuckles Fishsticks says, "Well, I could arrange one in NYC much easier than I could Atlanta" Fishsticks says, "Oaxaca, Fancy" "venezualen beaver!", exclaims Paladin. Fancy wonders about Oaxaca cheese. Fishsticks says, "But then all the southron pansies wouldn't come" Fishsticks says, "They made that quite clear" Halcyon snorts, "Damn right." Fishsticks says, "Just say it out loud, Fancy" Fishsticks winks and says, "It's awesome" Devor says, "yeah NYC is better" Galinfenner winks and says, "Gotta have the southern pansies" Galinfenner snickers "ttoo cold in the north", says Paladin. "Bah", says Fishsticks. Fancy says, "I think it's pronounced much like "WA HA CA"" "It's NYC!", exclaims Fishsticks. "southern pansy!", exclaims Devor. "ah.... I love wearing shorts in November", says Wirebreak. Fishsticks says, "No, not the way it's supposed to be pronounced" Halcyon nods emphatically. "Pronounce it phonetically", says Fishsticks. "i like eating ice cream in the dead of a freezing winter", says Devor. Fishsticks says, "Oh-ax-za-ka" Galinfenner says, "sounds like you are summoning a demon" "Rolls off the tongue", says Fishsticks. Shel giggles Urissa giggles Galinfenner grins Galinfenner asks, "Does anyone else have a question?" Shel ponders "I do, actually...where's Indigo?", asks Fishsticks. Fishsticks chuckles "Good Southron cuisine at Jesabel's on 9th... tween 44th and 48th", says Ops with a wink. Devor asks, "can i have my 50ig back NOW?" Paladin says, "Indigo's computer is dead" Fishsticks says, "That's a bit of a problem" Devor says, "ack, is her computer going to go back up soon? i was going to take a train back up there before i headed back to america" "what did you want her to ask?", asks Galinfenner. "I just wanted to know where she was", says Fishsticks. "oh", says Galinfenner. "Her planet is closed", says Fishsticks with a wink. Paladin winks and says, "dunno...she is not a very motivated person" Galinfenner grins "do you know how hard it is to be motivated here with pubs lining the streets?", asks Devor. Galinfenner asks, "Ok, last call, anyone else got a question for Sir Fish?" "Mmmmmmmmmmmm....pubs", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks says, "Sir Sticks o' Fish" "well, THAT she is motivated for", says Paladin. Fancy suddenly thinks of another... Galinfenner says, "yeah right" Devor says, "case in point" "yes Fancy", says Galinfenner. Fancy asks, "How did you like hosting Fed Libs while you did?" Fishsticks chuckles "FedLibs is easy", says Fishsticks. Fishsticks says, "I could do it right now, without a problem" Galinfenner grins Galinfenner jots that down Snowlily exclaims, "and he's so modest, too!" Fishsticks says, "Before the Blirral Horde departed, it was bad" Fishsticks says, "Twenty people tbing you multiple times in three minutes=bad" Galinfenner chuckles Fishsticks says, "The last few times I've hosted" Fishsticks says, "Which is few and far between, admittedly, I've only had four people, tops, playing" "Not quite, Dev", says Fishsticks. Devor snaps his fingers Devilish looks around Fishsticks says, "Not you Dev, him Dev" Devilish grumbles Devor exclaims, "hah!" Devilish goes back to whatever it was that he was doing Devor has given Fishsticks a friendly hug! Devor glances at Devilish with a fairly smug expression on his face Paladin is blissfully ignorant of what Devilish was doing "Wonky in the head, eh?", asks Fishsticks. Galinfenner asks, "Ok, before we close do you have any parting comments FIsh?" Halcyon winks and says, "wonky in the head." Ops snorts and enjoys double vision Galinfenner wonks a few heads "I am definitely at least wonky in the head, if not worse", says Fishsticks. "And not really", says Fishsticks. "Maybe next time", says Fishsticks. Shel blinks Galinfenner grins "now of anyone else that once went there?", asks Wirebreak. "aw.. crap", says Wirebreak. Galinfenner laughs Galinfenner says, "OK thanks for coming, Fishsticks. Thank you all for being a great audience" Shel has given Fishsticks a passionate hug! "The next M&G will be in two weeks, our guest will be Kella", says Galinfenner. Devor cheers Fishsticks stands triumphantly Fancy applauds. Fishsticks chuckles "aww", smiles Kella. Galinfenner claps and smiles Kella applauds "And now, I must study for BIll Shakes", says Fishsticks with a wink. Devilish wonders when his 15 minutes are Fishsticks waves Halcyon applauds wildly. Urissa smiles and applauds Fishy Galinfenner jots down Devilish Paladin says, "later tartar sauce" |
