MEET AND GREET WITH BOURBON

Wednesday June 11, 2008

Old Earth Taproom
The most popular bar on Mercury is decked out in the style of a tavern from the pre-spaceflight days on Earth. Some obscure agricultural equipment hangs on one of the walls. A display case contains a golden horseshoe, which the legend claims belonged to Pegasus himself. A closer look shows that it's actually made out of brass.
Pride of place is given to a type of two-wheeled personal transportation called a motorcycle, which looks very unlikely and somewhat dangerous.
You can see a jukebox and some dice.

Examine Technocrat Bourbon
Bourbon is wearing business casual attire of jeans, a t-shirt, gold chain with matching gold charm resembling a whiskey bottle, and Reeboks

Angelfowl smiles, "Hey, :)"

Meteu says, "Hi Bourbon"

Bourbon says, "about forgot where this place was at"

Angelfowl says, "Meteu forgot where Mercury was :P"

Bourbon laughs

Angelfowl says, "Oh, and I hope you don't mind Bourbon but if Gw logs on... I'm out of here :P"

Angelfowl says, "Only got a week left until I gotta go to a conference and I wont have internet ><"

Bourbon asks, "Met will be here to undo the tape?"

Live, and in Person... so to speak, Zardoz has just arrived. Zardoz is wearing a wedding ring.

Zardoz waves to everybody

Angelfowl says, "Yeah he will :P"

Zardoz finds a stool and sits down.

Bourbon says, "hiya Zard"

Angelfowl waves, "Wow, we got the actually Zard to come!"

Zardoz smiles, "Hey Bruddah B.:)"

Meteu drawls, "Zard for some reason I read that you were wearing a wedding dress....."

Angelfowl says, "He didn't even come for Hazed :P"

Meteu says, "Hi Zard"

Bourbon says, "think I owe him money"

Angelfowl laughs

Zardoz asks, "Wedding Dress?"

Meteu says, "I read your wedding ring, which you have had as long as I've known you as wedding dress"

Zardoz winks, "It's a holiday today... so I figured, what the Hell.;)"

Meteu says, "hehe"

Zardoz hands Meteu a pair of glasses.

Meteu smiles, "Shoulda scheduled you for tonight then:)"

Zardoz asks, "Why, You guys don't get King Kamehameha's birthday off?"

Meteu says, "No"

Zardoz grins.

Meteu says, "I was just going to ask what holiday it is."

Angelfowl giggles

Zardoz is really hear so Bourbon doesn't tell stories about that one night they were herding sheep together.

Meteu covers Angel's ears

Bourbon laughs

Zardoz says, "errr here even."

Angelfowl shoves Meteu away

Angelfowl looks in her bag for the duct tape

Meteu asks, "Lets get started, shall we?"

Zardoz takes out a notebook and scribbles furiously.

Blinx says, "bleep"

Meteu asks, "We are here with Bourbon tonight, Bourbon did you play Classic Fed?"

Bourbon says, "yes, joined up late 90's thanks to AOL"

Zardoz turns to NP and whispers, "Bourbon thinks this still is classic... he hasn't sobered up since then."

Meteu asks, "What duchy were you in there?"

Bourbon laughs

Bourbon says, "honestly, don't remember"

Nolepaul laughs.

Meteu smiles, "ah Not sober:)"

Zardoz nods to NP and says, "See."

Bourbon blushes

Fancy remembers there was a duchy named Bourbon, with a Mardi Gras theme, and Chasroll as the duke.

Meteu asks, "As we have asked our other Classic players, what did you enjoy most about Classic?"

Nolepaul takes a bucket of cold water and splashes it on Bourbon's head.

Bourbon says, "thanks, needed that"

Bourbon says, "guess would have to say being a real new player, along with the porter, and Horsell"

Meteu asks, "Horsell?"

Bourbon says, "the visits for the duke puzzle"

Meteu says, "ah"

Meteu asks, "Now this question is reserved for those with off the wall names, why did you pick Bourbon?"

Bourbon laughs

Nolepaul has a feeling, but will let Bourbon explain.

Zardoz laughs.

Zardoz will make up a better answer.

Bourbon says, "when started to play Fed2, did not want to use Flaboy again. Was sitting at the puter thinking of a name, glanced down at my drink of bourbon, and said what the heck"

Angelfowl laughs

Zardoz thinks its a good thing he wasn't drinking a Mimosa.

Meteu says, "Thats as good a reason as any"

Bourbon says, "or appletini"

Nolepaul asks, "Flaboy = Florida Boy?"

Meteu asks, "What was the meaning behind Flaboy?"

Bourbon says, "yes"

Zardoz asks, "Flabby Boy?"

Nolepaul nods

Meteu says, "NP please hold all questions to the end"

Fancy says, "Though it looked awfully close to "Flay boy""

Bourbon says, "that was IBUNYC nickname for me"

Zardoz snickers.

Meteu asks, "What do you like best about Fed2 Bourbon?"

Bourbon says, "the revamped game for one"

Zardoz chuckles.

Nolepaul says, "Your welcome"

Meteu asks, "What do you miss, other than the porter as that seems to be the most common answer?"

Bourbon says, "also like the staff being on line to TCB with some trouble makers"

Meteu asks, "What would you say your most embarassing moment in Fed (any of them) is?"

Bourbon says, "guess also miss the quick way to earn money....lol"

Bourbon says, "just being my dumb self"

Nolepaul giggles.

Meteu asks, "Whats the most interesting way you have died?"

Bourbon says, "guess that would have to be trying to solve the Magellan puzzle and being on Titan"

Meteu asks, "How many times did the radiation rooms get you?"

Bourbon says, "old say, 'when in doubt, follow directions'"

Angelfowl sneaks behind Bourbon and duct tapes him to the chair. "Sorry about that, forgot." grins

Bourbon says, "ok, so an embarrasing moment, died twice"

Zardoz wonders if that was just counting today.

Nolepaul exclaims, "That was hilarious!"

Meteu says, "How did you find Fed"

Bourbon whispers to Angel, you forgot the gel and am now going to have bikini waxed wrists

Zardoz laughs.

Blinx giggles

Nolepaul cackles

Angelfowl giggles sitting back after whispering "And how is that my problem?"

Bourbon says, "really don't remember, but guess it was AOL according to Hazed get together last week"

Mateo sticks a big piece of tape across Bourbons eye brows

Meteu asks, "What was your inspiration for your planet?"

Bourbon asks, "do you have to ask?"

Fancy would guess fun in general.

Bourbon says, "creating the first one is fun"

Zardoz thinks Bourbon's bio planet should be called Tylenol...for AFTER all that fun.

Bourbon says, "would make a note of that, but hands are tied....lol"

Zardoz chuckles.

Blinx giggles

Meteu says, "Are there any players here that you enjoy being with, or even some you don't or didn't"

Nolepaul unties Bourbon's hands.

Angelfowl slaps NP's hands, "No no, duct tape stays."

Angelfowl reattaches duct tape

Nolepaul boos.

Meteu smiles, "Angel add another layer please:)"

Bourbon says, "enjoy everyone actually, as for didn't, would have to say Freya a while back"

Meteu asks, "Thats an interesting dislike... any players from Classic?"

Angelfowl applies another layer of duct tape

Bourbon says, "think that's overkill Angel....lol"

Blinx grabs a towl and wipes the sweet from bourbon's brow

Bourbon says, "didn't socialize all that much in Classic, so don't really know"

Meteu says, "Ah."

Bourbon says, "ahem, Blinx, I am not sweet"

Blinx rofl

Meteu says, "Are there any questions from the audience, please raise your hand."

Bourbon says, "didn't start to yap that much until Ferreri pried me from the dorm on Earth, then hung out in the Lounge during the pre player planet days"

Angelfowl pouts missing Ferreri

Zardoz thought Ferreri, in all her incarnations, was pretty cool.

Nolepaul wonders what happened to Ferreri.

Bourbon says, "she was, helped a lot with trader rank along with Fancy"

Nolepaul burps silently to himself, and immediately grabs a TUMS to stop the heartburn. Ugh.

Blinx raises an sensor

Bourbon says, "had wings again tonite? lol"

Zardoz has noted that it is a sign of age when you start to drop antacid.

Nolepaul drawls, "Nope, Mom's pork chops..."

Meteu asks, "Blinx?"

Blinx asks, "bourbon how long did it take you to get through trader?"

Bourbon says, "would guess 2-3 months"

Blinx cringes

Bourbon says, "spotted the rank something like 85 pts....lol"

Bourbon says, "got to remember, that was before player planets"

Zardoz says, "Blinx, that was before a lot of planet ranks opened up. It will go faster for you."

Blinx exclaims, "hope so!"

Nolepaul agrees with Zardoz

Zardoz winks, "Plus, Bourbon was drunk most of the time.;)"

Meteu asks, "Any other questions, comments, concerns or random barstool gibberish?"

Bourbon says, "should be able to do it in like 2-3 days"

Zardoz wonders why B named a planet after his Gonads.

Bourbon nods at Zard

Nolepaul says, "I did mine in a few days."

Bourbon laughs

Meteu asks, "Why did you do that B?"

Zardoz snickers.

Bourbon says, "thought it was funny"

Zardoz laughs because it is.

Meteu asks, "Whats the dumbest move you ever made designing a planet?"

Bourbon says, "designing a planet"

Nolepaul is amazed at the # of systems added.

Blinx giggles

Zardoz thinks B should explain his planet's name.

Nolepaul realizes that is what happens when you are away for awhile.

Bourbon says, "had a problem getting it online, so got help for Jess, somehow it ended up with Map at the end"

Meteu says, "And Hazed's wrath"

Bourbon drawls, "make that ....got help from..."

Zardoz chuckles.

Nolepaul snickers

Bourbon says, "that could well be.....lol"

Meteu asks, "Any other questions?"

Blinx adds a quart of oil to its drink and downs the drink

Nolepaul adds a TUMS to his drink and downs it.

Zardoz wonders if B has ever made a pilgrimage to Lynchburg.

Bourbon frowns, "no, have a breath-alyzer on my car:("

Zardoz has a drive-in movie speaker on his car... but that's another story.

Nolepaul raises an eyebrow.

Bourbon asks, "my gosh, how long you own that car?"

Zardoz chuckles.

Zardoz realizes he has just dated himself.

Bourbon laughs

Meteu smiles, "I'm younger than you and I remember speakers at the drive in:)"

Bourbon asks, "wonders why they have those, who really watched the movie?"

Zardoz says, "That's right.... my parents were driving... yeah... my parents... That's the ticket."

Meteu asks, "What do you think is the best feature in Fed 2?"

Bourbon says, "I like the classes that are being taught"

Meteu says, "What was your favorite class"

Bourbon says, "there is no real right way or wrong way to play the game"

Meteu asks, "Was there a "right" way in Classic?"

Bourbon says, "one that changed my way of thinking was Smitty's"

Zardoz leans over to B and whispers, "Icey"

Bourbon chuckles

Meteu asks, "Are there any other questions?"

Meteu exclaims, "Going once!"

Meteu exclaims, "Going twice!"

Meteu says, "And bidding is closed on Bourbon"

Angelfowl laughs

Zardoz laughs

Blinx says, "awe"

Nolepaul claps

Bourbon pouts, no bids

Zardoz chuckles.

Blinx hands Bourbon a tissue

Bourbon says, "danka"

Angelfowl goes and un-duct tapes Bourbon

Nolepaul leans to far back in his chair and falls backwards, making a loud crashing sound.

Bourbon says, "welcome back NP....lol"

Zardoz thinks that, the duct tape removal, has gotta hurt.

Meteu says, "Thank you all for attending, Angel get the tape off his eyebrows"

Bourbon says, "now that one did hurt"

Zardoz thinks falling back in a chair would hurt too.

Angelfowl giggles and removes the ones on his eye brows

Nolepaul is fortunate that the fall was in Mercury's low gravity, because on Earth that would have hurt...

Zardoz grins.

Bourbon laughs
