|
|||
|
|
29 The Inn.
|
|||
|
|
30 James sat at the scarred wooden table, a mug of ale before him. It was the same table he had sat at when this whole
|
|||
|
|
31 fiasco began. He looked across at the empty chair and then closed his eyes, wishing. But when he opened them, the
|
|||
|
|
32 chair was still empty. She was still in her bed on a planet a thousand parsecs away. By now she had given him up for
|
|||
|
|
33 dead. He should have taken the bargain. Now it was too late, and he had nothing left.
|
|||
|
|
34 Nothing. Even his power was waning rapidly. The wounds he had aquired on Kadan would not heal completely and every
|
|||
|
|
35 breath racked him with pain. His belly was a cold ball of lead and the thought of eating made him want to retch.
|
|||
|
|
36 Still, he managed a composed outward appearance to the patrons around him, who ignored him just as intently as he
|
|||
|
|
37 ignored them. None of them knew, and he was sure they wouldn't have cared if they did. It's a tough old world out
|
|||
|
|
38 there, an if you didn't take care of yourself, nobody would.
|
|||
|
|
39 He did have something: his memories. He closed his eyes again. A moment later he opened them when something soft
|
|||
|
|
40 brushed his hand. He looked down at a large grey and white rabbit, who was looking back up at him with big, soulful
|
|||
|
|
41 eyes. Somehow the animal must have sensed his pain and came over to him. Whether that was the case or not, James felt
|
|||
|
|
42 touched.
|
|||
|
|
43 He stroked the rabbit's soft fur gently. "Hey, there, fellah. It's nice to have one friend, even if he is fuzzy."
|
|||
|
|
44 Damned if the rabbit didn't almost seem to understand. His hand encountered something around the rabbit's neck. It was
|
|||
|
|
45 a small shoulder pouch. What was a rabbit doing with a handbag? Around this place, nothing surprised him.
|
|||
|
|
46 Who cares, anyway. Sinking back into his melancholy, he let his chin drop to the table while he continued petting
|
|||
|
|
47 the rabbit. "Zephyr." he mumbled. The rabbit's ears went up instantly. Not noticing, James mumbled, "You haven't heard
|
|||
|
|
48 of someone called Zephyr, have you?"
|
|||
|
|
49 Of course he wasn't serious. First off, he had already talked to the man at the bar, who was subbing for he
|
|||
|
|
50 innkeeper while the innkeeper was doing something, and he didn't know nothing. And the other people were either
|
|||
|
|
51 uncommunicatice or sometimes downright hostile. The hostile ones remembered him from last time. And in the second
|
|||
|
|
52 place, the rabbit wasn't going to speak up and answer him. Still, something had agitated it.
|
|||
|
|
53 "S'matter, guy? Calm down. That asshole with the shotgun isn't coming back, you know." The rabbit wouldn't calm
|
|||
|
|
54 down, though. It kept pawing him, like it had something to say.
|
|||
|
|
55 "What, you want a carrot or something?" Frustrated, the animal finally sank its teeth into his hand, in the
|
|||
|
|
56 sentitive webbing between the thumb and forfinger. James jumped up immediately, knocking over his chair and bellowing,
|
|||
|
|
57 "JESUS %$!#'@& CHRIST!" Surprise, anger and pain had momentarily boosted his power enough that the sword appeared in
|
|||
|
|
58 his hands almost unbidden. he raised it high over his head and roared, "I'm gonna make hasenpfeffer outa you!"
|
|||
|
|
59 But before he did, he listened. A tense hush had come over the crowd around him. Everybody was staring, and a
|
|||
|
|
60 couple were half out of their chairs, hands on their weapons. They were waiting for him. Then he looked down at the
|
|||
|
|
61 rabbit, which was cowering against the far end of the table in danger of falling off. What was he doing? Slowly he
|
|||
|
|
62 lowered he blade and released it. Nobody relaxed, though. To him it seemed as if they were daring him to try
|
|||
|
|
63 something. Go ahead, make our day. He wanted to scream at them, tell them how worthless this all was. They imagined
|
|||
|
|
64 they could defeat anybody, but somewhere out there God or some cosmic practical joker would lay them low just as He
|
|||
|
|
65 did him. It was inevitable.
|
|||
|
|
66 Instead he just turned around and left.
|
|||
|
|
67 Outside, he had to struggle to keep from crying. It took a long moment, but he finally suceeded. Summoning the
|
|||
|
|
68 sword again, he opened a warpgate (His ship had been lost in the accident on Amphyrian). he didn't know where the
|
|||
|
|
69 'gate led, except it was a habitable planet. He was going to lose himself, and deny history the chance to confirm his
|
|||
|
|
70 demise. At least the Destroyer will live on in the imaginations of some.
|
|||
|
|
71 He stepped through the shimmering oval and it collapsed behind him with a bang.

|
|||
|
|
93 thought I ould leave my number for anyone wo wanted to talk to me . I love
|
|||
|
|
94 to talk to people so If you want just call and ask for amy after about 5
|
|||
|
|
95 p.m. since I usualy have before then along with school. my number is
|
|||

103 Don't change your boarder, it's a nice one. They might remember who else

104 might have used it in the past but they don't seem to mind. As for a alias
|

105 I don't know, what's wrong with the last one?

107 a while to figure out what is going on.

109 This board IS for people who like to write. The board should have enough
|
|||
|
|
110 space for those people, not just one. A HUGE entry takes up space and time
|
|||
|
|
111 from all of the other people who want to write. Such a big entry will also
|
|||
|
|
112 discourage new people from writting, they wouldn't know if it was 'okay' to
|
|||
|
|
113 enter anything from a new user.
|

|

114 The story is good, but far to long for a board like this. Users need an

122 SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER, HANGING AROUND LIKE A LEECH. HE PUTS UP HIS STORIES,

|

123 GETS UPSET WHEN EVERYBODY DOESN'T SWOON OVER THEM, AND THEN DECIDES TO GIV US
|
|||
|
|
124 LARGER SAMPLES TO LOOK OVER. MEANWHILE, PEOPLE GET FRUSTRATED NOT ONLY WITH
|
|||
|
|
125 HAVING TO READ THIS GUNK, BUT WITH THE WASTED SPACE AS WELL. IF SILVERMAN
|
|||
|
|
126 WANTS TO TAKE OVER A BOARD, LET HIM PUT UP HIS OWN. THIS IS A *PUBLIC* BOARD,

149 Yea thats telling em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

150 Is that bbs at 665-xxxx mentioned above at 1200 baud?
|

151
|

|
|
152
|
|||
|
|
153 +++++++++++++
|
|||
|
|
154 Survey done of bbs list on Bit Bucket. Results: 13 systems can do up to
|
|||
|
|
155 2400 baud. 36 Systems can do 1200. 22 can do only 300.
|
|||
|
|
156 Rhetorical question: 1200 baud modems are selling new for as little as $
|
|||
|
|
157 170.00. These days, a phone line costs about $15 per month. In other words,
|
|||
|
|
158 the costs of the modem is quite low compared with the monthly costs.
|
|||
|
|
159 So why don't more bbs's install at least 1200 baud modems? In BW, the
|
|||
|
|
160 problem is technical, not financial. But on others, why not?

|
|
162 Ah, here we are again. The age old pseudo-argument about what people *should* and *shouldn't* do here on Backwater.
|
|||
|
|
163 "This is a "public" BBS, and I demand my time". Wrong. BWMS is *privately* owned.
|
|||
|
|
164 "I do not like what the Destroyer writes, and I do not like him taking up *all that space*. And I intend to take up
|
|||
|
|
165 just as much space in bitching about this."
|
|||
|
|
166 (Translation- 'I don't have the talent or the imagination to write anything interesting, so I will express my frustratio
|
|||
|
|
167 n by criticizing those who do).
|
|||
|
|
168 "I don't think this should be that or whatever should be anything other than what *I* want", and I will snivel and
|
|||
|
|
169 cry 'till I have antagonized everyone. I am mentally twelve years old, and I'll act like a child if I want to, even
|
|||
|
|
170 though physically, I am thirty nine." And so it goes...
|
|||
|
|
171 I will agree with some of you, in that Destroyers stories are not the "best of Backwater". However: At least the guy
|
|||
|
|
172 *writes* something other than sniveling, criticising, bitching, and moaning. He isn't *that* bad. He is one helluva
|
|||
|
|
173 lot better than you borderless mindless talentless sniveling semi-literate clowns that have nothing good to say about
|
|||
|
|
174 anything. You jerks bemoan the essence of what you are not capable of understanding. Do us Backwater Irregulars a favor
|
|||
|
|
175 and sell your computers, and use the proceeds to go back and finish middle school. [*=*] DELTA FIVE [*=*]

|
|||
|
|
194 They gaped at each other for a long, comical second, then scrambled for the stairway. Poor Dudley almost got
|
|||
|
|
195 trampled in the process. By mutual unspoken consent they all ran for the commissary. The commissary was on the east
|
|||
|
|
196 side of the building and one entire wall consisted of a fifteen by forty foot multipaned window, overlooking scenic Mt.
|
|||
|
|
197 Hood. They crowded in through the door and Dudley came in last and pushed through them. Hopping up and down, he pointed
|
|||
|
|
198 out the window. "There! You see? You see?"
|
|||
|
|
199 But nobody had a reply for him.
|
|||
|
|
200 Where Mt. Hood once stood a huge grey-black mushroom cloud now rose towards the sky like a mighty fist. The cumulus
|
|||
|
|
201 above was being sucked towards it. It was like St. Helens again but the mountain wasn't erupting. It was simply gone.
|
|||
|
|
202 Norbert voiced the first thought that came to all their minds. "Nukes."
|
|||
|
|
203 "No." Frank said shakily, "That's not a fireball. That cloud's from... from..." Suddenly his eyes widened in horror.
|
|||
|
|
204 "Oh, my God."
|
|||
|
|
205 There were about fifteen people in the commissary. At the moment they all had their noses plastered to the glass
|
|||
|
|
206 trying to see better. "Get away from that window!" Frank roared at them. "Get some cover! NOW!!"
|
|||
|
|
207 It was the panic in Frank's voice that did the trick. The people began backing away from the window, not
|
|||
|
|
208 understanding why. Frank grabbed Jean and hustled back out into the hall. Norbert, Doug, and Dudley followed, also
|
|||
|
|
209 confused. Jean began to protest at this manhanding but her words were suddenly lost in the rising howl from
|
|||
|
|
210 outside.
|
|||
|
|
211 The howl rose to a scream of hurricane force winds and they all suddenly felt as if icepicks were being jabbed in
|
|||
|
|
212 their ears. The pain increased tenfold and there was a loud BOOM as every window in the building exploded outward from
|
|||
|
|
213 the pressure difference. Then the hurricane was inside, sucking up papers, books, chairs, anything small that wasn't
|
|||
|
|
214 nailed down. Accompanying this chaos was a loud, basso rumbling that first rattled their ears, then shook the whole
|
|||
|
|
215 building.
|
|||
|
|
216 The hallway was fairly well protected from all of this, but it was still like standing in a wind tunnel. Jean buried
|
|||
|
|
217 her face in Frank'S chest and clutched him desperately, as if to keep from blowing away, although it was hardly that
|
|||
|
|
218 bad. Dudley, scared out of his wits, had a similar grip on Norbert, and was in serious danger of strangling him. Doug
|
|||
|
|
219 simply put his hands over his face and collapsed against the wall, sobbing.
|
|||
|
|
220 Slowly the wind and rumbling died down, leaving everybody feeling as if their ears were stuffed full of cotton.
|
|||
|
|
221 Norbert finally untangled himself from Dudley with a curse. Dudley, bereft of his support, ran down the hall screaming
|
|||
|
|
222 hysterically. Jean held on to Frank for a long time before letting go. Norbert yelled, "You knew that was going to
|
|||
|
|
223 happen!"
|
|||
|
|
224 "An implosion." Frank replied. "The mountain dissappeared and left a vacuum. Air rushed in to fill it, sucking up
|
|||
|
|
225 all kinds of dirt and debris and crap. That's what the cloud was. Soon as I realized that, I knew there was going to be

226 a shockwave." Something tickled his nose. He rubbed it and his hand came away covered in blood. Norbert had a
|
|||
|
|
227 nosebleed, too.
|
|||
|
|
228 They went back into the commissary. There was a huge hole in the wall where the window used to be. The mushroom
|
|||
|
|
229 cloud had become a haze that covered most of the horizon. Tables, chairs, food and trays were strewn all over the room.
|
|||
|
|
230 People began to pick themselves up painfully. Nobody seemed seriously hurt. Norbert was mumbling something they
|
|||
|
|
231 couldn't hear. "What?" Jean asked.
|
|||
|
|
232 He turned to them with haunted eyes. "It couldn't be a coincidence. The mountain vanished at the exact same time the
|
|||
|
|
233 experiment blew up."
|
|||
|
|
234 "What are you talking about?"
|
|||
|
|
235 Norbert pointed out the window shakily. "We did that."

|
|||
|
|
240 Zephyr -- commendable restraint. However, your next job is to make your
|
|||
|
|
241 character, Straxi, more than just a cardboard cut-out. I suggest that you
|
|||
|
|
242 think some about who he/she/it/fill_in_the_blanks is and what drives hesh.
|
|||
|
|
243 Remember, hesh is an *alien*, a chlorine breather, and physically unlike
|
|||
|
|
244 the human/oids hesh is confronting. (Pardon the indeterminate pronoun, but
|
|||
|
|
245 it seems appropriate here.) You have a problem in working out what drives
|
|||
|
|
246 such a character. We can extrapolate from the life-forms that we know
|
|||
|
|
247 (always keeping in mind that this "person" is alien). All known life forms
|
|||
|
|
248 seem to have a built-in drive to survive. Presumably alien life-forms will
|
|||
|
|
249 share that drive if they're still around. To survive, a life-form needs to
|
|||
|
|
250 take in the nourishment it needs for metabolism. We take in food, water,
|
|||
|
|
251 and air -- fuel, liquid, and oxygen -- to generate the energy we expend in
|
|||
|
|
252 the business of living. Presumably your alien does something analagous
|
|||
|
|
253 (but it doesn't *have* to be exactly the same). Where we get onto shaky
|
|||
|
|
254 ground is when we start thinking about the *culture* that your alien comes
|
|||
|
|
255 from. You've established an atmospheric helmet of some sort, and a tele-
|
|||
|
|
256 portation device, so the alien has some sort of technelogical culture.
|
|||
|
|
257 Just a suggestion -- how about a culture based on biological, rather
|
|||
|
|
258 than physical science? A culture that bred living organisms to do the jobs
|
|||
|
|
259 we fabricate tools for would be different enough to keep us interested...
|
|||
|
|
260 Please spend some time thinking about the background of your character,
|
|||
|
|
261 and we could make a group tour to find out more about hesh's culture.
|
|||
|
|
262 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

263 The piper, lost in the joy of pain-free breathing, suddenly choked again.
|
|||
|
|
264 The sharp reek of chlorine filled the already-crowded interior of the bard's
|
|||
|
|
265 transporter while the crowding suddenly increased most appreciably. A large
|
|||
|
|
266 six-limbed creature wearing a patterned crimson and purple garment over its
|
|||
|
|
267 slate-blue hide suddenly appeared in their midst. Leaping to conclusions,
|
|||
|
|
268 as the creature evidenced distress in their atmosphere, the piper remarked
|
|||
|
|
269 to his companions as the creature fumbled at some sort of head covering:
|
|||
|
|
270 "I believe that a representative of the local life-forms has arrived."
|
|||
|
|
271 The creature did not appear agressive. It fumbled with it's head covering
|
|||
|
|
272 with two limbs, seeming to adjust it for comfort, while two other limbs
|
|||
|
|
273 fumbled with something that seemed to be attached to a belt around what
|
|||
|
|
274 would be the creature's waist if it had a waist. The belt-mounted device
|
|||
|
|
275 made a number of downright impolite sounds, then spoke clearly to the
|
|||
|
|
276 crowded little group:
|
|||
|
|
277 "Hello. I am ..."
|
|||
|
|
278 As the creature finished its brief introduction, the piper tried to move.
|
|||
|
|
279 The crowded confines of the bard's vehicle was certainly not the place to
|
|||
|
|
280 try to make first contact with an alien race!

287 Straxi saw that his translator had done the job, as introductions were
|
|||
|
|
288 then made with a minimum of confusion. When Straxi heard the alien s' story,
|
|||
|
|
289 he was amazed. These creatures cou:ld immensly help the science of H'ran!
|
|||
|
|
290 If he could present this finding to the Guild of Science, his reward would be
|
|||
|
|
291 great. But these were obviously intelligent creatures, and the Guild
|
|||
|
|
292 forbade the capture of any intelligent life forms. Besides, he wasn't really
|
|||
|
|
293 a scientist. He had been, cycles ago, but the Guild only acceptDed the top
|
|||
|
|
294 beings for membership. Straxi`s still dabbled`in science, constructing small
|
|||
|
|
295 range teleporters, but that was abou| t it.
|
|||
|
|
296 ` But there was nothing stopping Straxi from simply ASKING the aliens
|
|||
|
|
297 if they would like to accompany him to hithe nearest Guild. He spoke once again
|
|||
|
|
298 to the aliens.
|
|||
|
|
299 "I have... a suggestion. Why don't we aall visit a wonderous place that I
|
|||
|
|
300 hithink you will find interesting. It's called txehre Guild of Science..."
|
|||
|
|
301 Straxi`h xohoped they would, for he` felt that a meeting of the races such
|
|||
|
|
302 as this would mean a new era for both races.

306 The Former ran his paw over the shiny surface of the device. The midget of
|
|||
|
|
307 a trader stood behind him. A circle of red dots on the surface lit and one dot
|
|||
|
|
308 after the other lit and then darkened. The midget wiped his hands on his pants
|
|||
|
|
309 and pointed to the device.
|
|||
|
|
310 "It is, a, matter tracker. Does it entice you?" Said the midget in an
|
|||
|
|
311 accent so severe it might have broken concrete. The midget glanced at the tall
|
|||
|
|
312 Former and pointed all over the device.
|
|||
|
|
313 "Does it track teleportation?" Asked the Former in a cynical tone.
|
|||
|
|
314 "It does, and more, it has directions on the rear, see?" The midget wiped
|
|||
|
|
315 his hands on his pant leg again and went to check his merchandise.
|
|||
|
|
316 "I will buy it, this is the price you asked," The Former stalked off on
|
|||
|
|
317 his hind legs uneasily. The Former set the device to a teleportation, and sent
|
|||
|
|
318 himself to the outside of the Inn.
|
|||
|
|
319 The Former appeared a scant inch from the wall. Donning an atmospheric
|
|||
|
|
320 pressure suit and tapping the oxygen reserves, the Former set the device to
|
|||
|
|
321 a tracking mode and activated the device. The device followed the initial
|
|||
|
|
322 transportation of the Innkeeper and the Former appeared where the Innkeeper
|
|||
|
|
323 had a short time ago.
|
|||
|
|
324 The Former tried to read the device. It told him a teleporter with an
|
|||
|
|
325 itchy activator accidentally tripped the Innkeeper here. It also told him the
|
|||
|
|
326 position of the teleporter. And so off he walked, through the chlorine air.

332 After some of his previous experiences, Bard was not about to get
|
|||
|
|
333 thrown in jail or shot at. Plus, he'd get quite a fine if the follow-up
|
|||
|

334 contact team found out he'd broken any laws.

335 He sat back in the pilot's seat, and waited for other comments.

344 find it interesting to find out who's phone number is left in places like

425 Non De Guerre,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
426 I think that you complain a wee bit too much.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
427 First, the space on this system is not "wasted" by a user placing
|
|||
|
|
428 something here in an honest attempt to be creative. The only waste is when
|
|||
|
|
429 line after line is filled with carriage returns, line-feeds, meaningless
|
|||
|
|
430 patterns, and so forth.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
431 But even that really isn't a waste, because when the disk fills up, it
|
|||
|
|
432 is simply replaced with a fresh disk. The disk isn't wasted because it is
|
|||
|
|
433 erased and recycled. The space isn't wasted because we have new space to
|
|||
|
|
434 use. If it is your time that you're worried about being wasted, it is quite
|
|||
|
|
435 easy to simply skip over what you don't want to read using the FI and DO
|
|||
|
|
436 commands as some of the other users have described. That was one of the
|
|||
|
|
437 points of having borders to begin with: you know the border, so you simply
|
|||
|
|
438 skip to the next occurance of the border and you have skipped that entire
|
|||
|
|
439 entry. Thus, if it is your time you are concerned about being wasted, all
|
|||
|
|
440 you need to do is make the attempt to save that time by using the facilities
|
|||
|
|
441 that are provided.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
442 But please, don't continue to berate Cistop Mikey for his opinion; you
|
|||
|
|
443 already have it. He isn't the sort to voice his opinion, if the entry is
|
|||
|
|
444 offensive or impromper by his standards it will be eliminated with no
|
|||
|
|
445 commentary. It will simply be gone. His standards are well expressed in
|
|||
|
|
446 the opening lines of each disk. You, and others, would do well to read them
|
|||
|
|
447 carefully, and perhaps you would gain a better understanding of what BWMS is
|
|||
|
|
448 all about. It is an open forum, a blank slate, the use of which is defined
|
|||
|
|
449 by the callers. Cistop Mikey retains his control, but keeps his hands off
|
|||
|
|
450 for the most part because he knows that creativity flowers best where
|
|||
|
|
451 censorship is utilized the least. And I think that includes your insulting
|
|||
|
|
452 diatribes as well.

467 give you a few of my ideas and you

471 "You need not worry about our laws. You will be my guest, and since you
|
|||
|
|
472 are ~not natives of our planet, it is only expected that you will make a few
|
|||
|
|
473 errors." A collected sigh of relief was heard throughou| t thre ship. "Our
|
|||
|
|
474 laws are understanding. However, the re is one thing you MUST promise me you
|
|||
|
|
475 will NOT do." Straxi'S s eyes moved back and forth, looking at each alien very
|
|||
|
|
476 carefully. "You must NOT kill a~nything! Not even an insect. To do so would
|
|||
|

477 bring about>.." Straxi shuddered. "To do so would bring about the immediate

|

478 destruction of our world."

482 Unbelievable. A guy takes the time and expense to set up a BBS for writers, and what does he get.? Scumbags
|
|||
|
|
483 that have nothing better to do with their time than call up BBS's and insult others. I would like to meet you low lifes
|
|||
|
|
484 face to face. I'd like to teach you some manners. I'd like to break a lot of your fingers. I would enjoy doing a lot
|
|||
|
|
485 of damage to your immature bodies.
|
|||
|
|
486 One day, I might do just that.
|

500 I thought the note above was funny but it I agree with most of it. I'M begining to think that DESTROYER hurt some
|
|||
|
|
501 one in there personal lives. And are just berating him here because of it. The best note I think was the one that
|
|||
|
|
502 said to read the begining message. Also why don't I see these 'critics' writting. If they don't like him here fill
|
|||
|
|
503 the space with something better. I would like to see more on the story about that girl learning magic from a gypsy.

507 NO, THE DESTROYER HASN'T HURT ME IN MY PERSONAL LIFE. SOMEONE AS INEFFECTUAL
|
|||
|
|
508 AND NERDLY CAN'T HURT ME. I SIMPLY STATE THAT SILVERMAN (HE IS THE DESTROYER
|
|||
|
|
509 TOO, YOU KNOW) IS USING UP TOO MUCH SPACE, TIME AND PATIENCE WITH HIS OVER-
|
|||
|
|
510 RATED WRITING. THE MARK OF A GOOD WRITER IS THE ABILITY TO GET HIS POINT
|
|||
|
|
511 ACROSS IN AS FEW WORDS AS POSSIBLE. A LOOK AT HIS PAST ENTRIES WILL SHOW A
|
|||
|
|
512 DEFINITE TENDANCY TO WANDER AIMLESSLY AROUND THE POINT, WASTING SPACE AS HE
|
|||
|
|
513 DOES SO. WHEN HE DOES GET TO THE POINT, HE USUALLY SHOWS AN INEPTNESS THAT IS
|
|||
|
|
514 MOST APPARENT IN FIFTH-GRADE ESSAY WRITING. I THINK THE GUY SHOULD REALLY
|
|||
|
|
515 DISAPEAR FROM THE SCENE FOR A WHILE, A LONG WHILE, AND POLISH UP HIS CRAFT
|
|||
|
|
516 MORE. THEN, MAYBE, HE MIGHT RISE TO THE LEVEL OF OTHERS ON THIS BOARD LIKE
|
|||
|
|
517 ZEPHYR OR PIPER OR BARD OR MOST OF THE OTHERS. PERSONALLY, I THINK THE BEST
|
|||
|
|
518 WRITER CURRENTLY ON HERE IS EMU, WITH HIS TOO RARELY SEEN MAGIC TALE. EMU IS
|
|||
|
|
519 SO MUCH BETTER THAN SILVERMAN THAT IT'S PITIFUL. IF HE EVER THINKS HE MIGH GET
|
|||
|
|
520 HALF THAT GOOD HE IS WET-DREAMING. BUT I AM SIMPLY SICK OF SEEING SILVERMAN,
|
|||
|
|
521 SILVERMAN, AND MORE SILVERMAN EVERYWHERE I LOOK. THE GUY IS REALLY HURTING
|
|||
|
|
522 FOR ATTENTION AND APPARENTLY DOESN'T REALIZE HOW BADLY HE IS BORING EVERYBODY
|
|||
|
|
523 IN HIS ATTEMPTS TO GET THAT ATTENTION.

|
|||
|
|
602 Now I find that extremely interesting since I have never been on
|
|||
|
|
603 Noname BBS, yet the call list that shows above indicates I have.
|
|||
|
|
604 Even more interesting that it is at 6am, Since I don't and never
|
|||
|
|
605 have done any BBS work at that time of day.
|
|||
|
|
606 So a note to all bbs owners, check first, I only call two systems
|
|||
|
|
607 in town at this time, Nerd, and Blue Parrot. I don't have the time
|
|||
|
|
608 to call even those more then occasionally, so it is almost certain
|
|||
|
|
609 that if my name shows up it is not me.
|
|||
|
|
610 *************************** CISTOP MIKEY **************************
|
|||
|
|
611 Oh yes, in regard to the debate, as has been stated, my veiws are already
|
|||
|
|
612 stated. I have a hands off policy on this board, I only step in when
|
|||
|
|
613 I feel that someone is being disruptive, or attempts to cause damage.
|
|||
|
|
614 Other then that, like any good Inn, I let my patrons determine the
|
|||
|
|
615 atmosphere. Many of you don't realize it, but I did not set this up to
|
|||
|
|
616 be a "writer's board". It is simply a open forum BBS that anyone can
|
|||
|
|
617 access (even the idiot above). It became what it is because the patrons
|
|||
|
|
618 defined it. BWMS is constantly changing and evolving. It is a blank
|
|||
|
|
619 slate, it is the users that create the reality that is BWMS. Thus as
|
|||
|
|
620 those patrons change, so does the reality of BW change.
|
|||
|
|
621 While I personaly don't find Mr. Silverman's stories to be the greatest
|
|||
|
|
622 thing since sliced bread, they do show promise. Obviously, he does enjoy
|
|||
|
|
623 writing, being as prolific as he is shows that. I would urge him to take
|
|||
|
|
624 some creative writing courses though, it would help him to improve a bit.
|
|||
|
|
625 And, if I am to take a constructive jab at you J.D. I would suggest that
|
|||
|
|
626 you ease up on the bit of killing your main characters off or mortally
|
|||
|
|
627 wounding them and then miraculously they are alive again in the next segment
|
|||
|
|
628 Once or twice this is acceptable, but after a while it becomes a habit,
|
|||
|
|
629 and the emotions and flavor become lost. ********** CM ****************
