21 PAM: IT SEEMS THAT SOME OF THE PATRONS ARE A BIT MIFFED AT MISSING YOU
|
||
22 DURING THE LAST ADVENTURE, AND NOW THE CURRENT ADVENTURE THAT ELGER HAS
|
||
23 STARTED SEEMS TO HAVE PUT YOU IN A POSITION WHICH IS ISOLATED FROM THE INN.
|
||
24 MAYBE YOU AND ELGER CAN DIRECT IT IN A DIRECTION WHICH WILL ALLOW
|
||
25 INTERACTION WITH THOSE WHO FEEL LEFT OUT?
|
||
26
|
||
27 OTHERS: PLEASE HAVE PATIENCE, PAM'S ACCESS IS LIMITED. SHE ACTUALY HAS TO
|
||
28 BUDGET TIME TO EVEN GET ON BWMS, THUS HER SCARCE ACTIVITY HERE. I AM JUST
|
||
29 HAPPY THAT SHE DEEMS TO CONTINUE TO APPEAR HERE AT ALL. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE
|
||
30 FACT THAT I RUN THIS MAD HOUSE, I KNOW I WOULDN'T HAVE TIME TO BE HERE.
|
||
31
|
||
32 KEN: YES, PAM MOST CERTAINLY DOES EXIST, AND AS I STATED BEFORE, SHE IS A
|
||
33 FRIEND. IF YOU HAD BEEN AROUND IN EARLIER TIMES, YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN SOME OF
|
||
34 HER MORE PROLIFIC WORKS. BUT NOW HER WORK HAS LIMITTED HER ABILITY TO SPEND
|
||
35 20 HOURS A DAY DIALING PHONE NUMBERS. ALSO, I MIGHT ADD THAT PAM MOST
|
||
36 CERTAINLY KNOWS THE SUBJECT ABOUT WHICH SHE WEAVES HER ADVENTURE. I ON THE
|
||
37 OTHER HAND TEND TO BE A BIT SLOPPY IN THAT ASPECT, AND SIMPLY RELY ON BRUTE
|
||
38 FORCE CREATIVITY THUS LEAVING THINGS A BIT COURSE WHEN I WRITE WHICH IS WHY
|
||
39 I DON'T DO MUCH OF IT. FINALY, WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT? YOU
|
||
40 DECRY PEOPLE COPYING FROM EXISTING SOURCES, (WHICH I WOULD AGREE WITH, THERE
|
||
41 IS LIMITTED ENOUGH SPACE HERE WITHOUT HAVING TO SEE WORKS THAT HAVE BEEN
|
||
42 DONE BEFORE) YET THEN YOU COPIED SEVERAL VERSES FROM A SONG. NEXT YOU DECRY
|
||
43 PEOPLE LEAVING MEANINGLESS STORIES, THEN PRECEED TO LEAVE YOUR OWN. DO YOU
|
||
44 ARGUE JUST TO HEAR YOUR OWN VOICE?
|
||
45 AS FAR AS WHAT TYPE OF PERSON I AM, I QUOTE POPIE "I AM WHAT I AM, AND
|
||
46 THAT'S ALL THAT I AM." I DON'T FIND ANY ENJOYMENT OUT OF POWER TRIPS AND
|
||
47 VIOLENCE, BUT NEITHER DO I CONSIDER MY VIEWS AS THE ONLY VALID ONES. I HAVE
|
||
48 A HANDS OFF ATTITUDE TO THIS SYSTEM AS IT EXPOSES ME TO IDEAS AND CONCEPTS
|
||
49 THAT ARE NOT MY OWN IF I WERE TO LIMIT IT TO ONLY THOSE THINGS I LIKE, I
|
||
50 WOULD ONLY BE BOASTING MY OWN EGO GENERATED OUTLOOK ON THE WORLD, AND
|
||
51 PROBABLY END UP WITH A LOT FEWER CUSTOMERS. CREATIVITY IS NOT GAINED BY
|
||
52 LIMITTING YOURSELF TO ONLY THOSE THINGS YOU LIKE.

|

55
|
||
56 ALL: A FEW NOTES ON SYSTEM ETIQUETTE
|
||
57
|
||
58 THIS BBS IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, SO PLEASE WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE. I UNDERSTAND
|
||
59 THAT SOME OF YOU DON'T CONSIDER FOUL LANGUAGE TO BE ALL THAT BAD, BUT THERE
|
||
60 ARE THOSE WHO ARE OFFENDED BY IT (ME FOR ONE). I AM RATHER OPEN TO MOST
|
||
61 OTHER THINGS AS CAN BE SEEN BY THE WIDE VARITY OF WRITINGS THAT SHOW UP
|
||
62 HERE. SOME LIMITATIONS: I WILL REMOVE ANY AND ALL MESSAGES SOLICITING OR
|
||
63 PROMOTING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES. I WILL REMOVE OR EDIT ANY MESSAGES CONTAINING
|
||
64 FOUL OR ABUSIVE LANGAUGE. (SORRY FOLKS, BUT IT'S MY SYSTEM, SO I GET TO
|
||
65 DECIDE WHAT I DON'T LIKE.)
|
||
66
|
||
67 IT IS CONSIDERED POLITE TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF THIS IS TRUE HERE AS WELL
|
||
68 WHILE THE INN DOES HIRE JANITORIAL SERVICES, THE MESSER IT IS, THE MORE IT
|
||
69 COSTS. AND WITH PAM ONLY WORKING PART TIME AS BARMAID, I HAVE TO SPEND ALOT
|
||
70 OF TIME CLEANING THINGS UP MYSELF. (I REALIZE THAT SOMETIMES I DO HIDE THE
|
||
71 TOWELS BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE THEFT, AND DURING THESE TIMES IT IS ACCEPTABLE
|
||
72 TO LEAVE AN OCCASIOAL MESS, BUT DO TRY TO BECAREFUL WHEN THIS IS THE CASE.
|
||
73
|
||
74 IT IS CONSIDERED IMPOLITE TO DESTROY, DELETE, OR OTHERWISE VANDLIZE OTHERS
|
||
75 MESSAGES. IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO CLEAN UP TRASH LEFT BY OTHERS (I.E. HELP,
|
||
76 LIST, OFF, AND OTHER COMMANDS AND BLANK LINES LEFT IN ENTER MODE.) CERTAIN
|
||
77 USERS ARE AWARE OF WHAT IS CONSIDERED PROPER HERE AND WHAT IS NOT, AND WILL
|
||
78 DELETE THEM IF I DON'T (THIS IS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE MORE
|
||
79 POEPLE OUT THERE WATCHING THINGS THEN JUST ME.) THERE ARE CERTAIN FUNCTIONS
|
||
80 THAT ONLY I AND A COUPLE OF OTHER PEOPLE CAN USE. WHEN A LINE DISAPPEARS BUT
|
||
81 ITS NUMBER IS STILL IN USE (SUCH AS LIST SKIPING FROM 100 TO 110), IT MEANS
|
||
82 THAT SOMEONE ELSE DELETED THE LINE. IF I DELETE THE LINE, IT WILL DISAPPEAR,
|
||
83 AND THE LINES WILL BE RENUMBERED.
|
||
84
|
||
85 PLEASE TRY TO HOLD YOUR ENTRIES DOWN TO 50 LINES OR LESS PER ENTRY. THIS IS
|
||
86 NOT A REQUIREMENT, ONLY A REQUEST. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SOME ENTERIES
|
||
87 THAT CAN EXCEED THIS (SUCH AS THIS ONE). IT IS ONLY THAT THERE ARE MANY
|
||
88 USERS THAT LIKE TO LOOK IN ON THE INN AND CONTRIBUTE, BUT SINCE THERE ARE
|
||
89 ONLY 600 OR SO LINES AVAILABLE FOR USE, IT CAN GO BY RATHER RAPIDLY IF LOTS
|
||
90 OF SPACE IS USED, THUS LEAVING MANY IN THE DARK AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON IF
|
||
91 THEY CAN'T CALL IN EVERYDAY.
|
||
92
|
||
93 IN ADDITION TO THIS PLEASE DON'T WASTE WHAT SPACE YOU DO USE. EACH LINE (AS
|
||
94 INDICATED BY A TRAILING CARRAIGE RETURN) IS COMPLETE IN ITSELF AND USES UP
|
||
95 ONE OF THE AVAILABLE 600 LINES. SO PLEASE USE BLANK LINES SPARINGLY, EVEN
|
||
96 THOUGH THERE IS NOTHING IN IT, IT STILL TAKES UP SPACE. THE NORMAL LINE
|
||
97 LENGTH USED HERE IS 76 CHARACTERS. SOME USE 128 CHARACTERS (THE MAXIMUM)
|
||
98 WHICH IS ACCEPTABLE, BUT TRY TO USE AT LEAST 50 OR 60 CHARACTERS PER LINE
|
||
99 MINIMUM, AGAIN THE LINE IS USED UP NO MATTER HOW MANY CHARACTERS ARE IN IT.
|
||
100
|
||
101 PLEASE TRY TO HOLD YOUR LINE TIME DOWN TO A MINIMUM, ESPECIALY AROUND 7:00AM
|
||
102 TO 9:00AM ; 4:00PM TO 7:00PM ; 9:00PM TO 12:00PM THESE ARE PRIME TIME HOURS
|
||
103 WHEN MOST USERS TRY TO GET ON. RECOMMENDED TIME ONE HOUR OR LESS (ESPECIALLY
|
||
104 DURING PRIME TIME HOURS). FOR THOSE WHO NEED TO USE IT LONGER, PLEASE TRY TO
|
||
105 DO SO DURING NON-PRIME HOURS. THIS IS ONLY A REQUEST, BUT PLEASE DO TRY TO
|
||
106 SHOW A LITTLE COURTESY TO YOUR FELLOW USERS.
|
||
107 THANK YOU

115 I didn't mean to sound so "hard nosed" but I don't understand why this is a writers practice board and not a full fledged

145 The youthful scrawl, plastered across the wall of the Inn as if in
|
||
146 challenge, is one of the first things to cause a smile to pass my lips in
|
||
147 quite some time. The child asks if I know of Marduk, if I know the
|
||
148 Sumerian equivalent of demon, demands I respond, then expects me to respond
|
||
149 based upon his own schedule. Yes, Uruku, I have read the Necronomicon, but
|
||
150 I attempt to have more originality than to plagarize The Book of Entrance,
|
||
151 or even to put a great deal of faith in a creation of Madison Avenue for
|
||
152 the the purposes of increasing the sales of the literary work of H.P.
|
||
153 Lovecraft and to prey on the desire of fandom to purchase anything related
|
||
154 to their favorite author.
|
||
155
|
||
156 My heritage is Gaelic, not middle eastern, and so I am more familiar
|
||
157 with the legends of the De Danaan. Which is just as well, as I have great
|
||
158 respect for some aspects of paganism, but very little for necromancy and
|
||
159 its sort. As to the "Necronomicon", the Introduction is very informative
|
||
160 and accurate, the bibliography gives many excellent sources for study, but
|
||
161 the rest of the text is a twentieth century creation.
|
||
162
|
||
163 Since you obviously want to lecture others, perhaps you could inform
|
||
164 us why you have made BWMS the target of your malevolent attack. Is it
|
||
165 because of pure spite? Are small, private systems an easier (and safer)
|
||
166 target for your vandalism than larger and better protected ones? Or is it
|
||
167 simply (as it appears) that you are young and have yet to be properly
|
||
168 toilet trained? I don't intend to be insulting, but you seem to be
|
||
169 intelligent, and it has always bothered me to see someone of intelligence
|
||
170 wasting their time playing the part of the fool.
|
||
171
|
||
172 Mike Day is a professional programmer, and as such he doesn't suffer
|
||
173 fools easily. On the other hand, I have spent most of my career attempting
|
||
174 to deal with the public, I usually try to see everyone I come in contact
|
||
175 with in as complimentary a light as possible. Show me that there is more
|
||
176 to you than snide commentary and self centered ego puffing. I'm sure there
|

177 is.

195 the violent emotions I feel eminating from across the sea. Why
|

196 is it that the standard reaction around here to a supposed

197 threat is to want to bash somebodies head in? And if the one

198 causing the problem is not available they make up their own

|
||
214 Softly
|
||
215 The sun had risen. The killing ground was ready. Redish hues
|
||
216 highlighted the troops assembled in the courtyard. Arrayed in an orderly
|
||
217 row, uniforms crisp and clean, their weapons smelled of fresh oil. The
|
||
218 prisoner stood bound at the stake. A white linen shirt covered his breast.
|
||
219 The air was still, expectant.
|
||
220 The silence was broken by the Captain-of-the-Guard; "David Alexander,
|
||
221 you have been convicted of crimes against the State. You have been
|
||
222 sentenced to death by firing squad. Do you have any final words?"
|
||
223 The prisoner stirred as if from meditation. "You may call my actions
|
||
224 crimes; many think of them as acts of freedom." Then almost to himself;
|
||
225 "O death, be my gentle mistress." He had finished.
|
||
226 The Captain approached Alexander; gently as to a lover he asked the
|
||
227 routine questions;
|
||
228 "Cigarette?"
|
||
229 "No."
|
||
230 "Blindfold?"
|
||
231 "No."
|
||
232 "Last request?"
|
||
233 The prisoner smiled to himself; "Nothing you would grant." A single
|
||
234 tear flowed down his cheek.
|
||
235 Turning to his troops, the Captain swept them with his eyes. Pleased
|
||
236 with what he saw, he moved to the side and began the ritual.
|
||
237 "Ready." As one, cartridges were chambered with a final click. The
|
||
238 prisoner drew himself up, standing straight and sure.
|
||
239 "Aim."
|
||
240 "Fire!"
|
||
241 A single crack filled the stillness. The Prisoner slumped. In the
|
||
242 distance a single bird began to sing. A song of life.

247 The bard turned to see what all the commotion was about. What kind of
|
||
248 creature is tha{BLINK}t?
|
||
249 He was standing on a mud flat. "Hey! Where's the Boat?!" Turning he saw
|
||
250 another figure standing over a body of some sort of animal. A small
|
||
251 sabertooth, perhaps?
|
||
252 Approaching, he recognized the apprentice. He was about to greet him when

253 the cat moved...

255 Sorry about this folks, but we had *PLANNED* to move on the weekend of the

256 21st. Things took a LOT longer than expected (the computer got packed

260 The creature was alive, he could feel its... thoughts? emotions?...
|
||
261 perhaps 'feelings' fit best. It had an image in its mind - a friend from
|
||
262 whom it had become seperated in a storm. Was that Tarn? Perhaps.
|
||
263 But first he must tend to this one - "Green Eyes" it called itself.

366 Sparks flew around the controller on his high pearch as he desperately struggled

367 with the mental energies, directing and shaping them to fit the smooth outline
|

368 of the trans-glactic force absorbers mounted on the hull of the liner. The

369 screaming of the ship dropped to a low whine, and the controller dropped from

|

372 the president stepped out. With a desperate lunge the controller jumped forward
|

373 and pulled the weapon from his pocket. Glactic Service officers, not expecting

|
||
430 DEBORAH: please comment on this (and finnish your essay on the "cloud"!)...
|
||
431 (text is set in MA 128) (sorry..)
|
||
432 "What does the Biblical Passage saying that Christ will come on the clouds signify?"
|
||
433 If the Second Advent of the Lord is to be realized by a birth on the earth, we must know the significance of the Biblical
|
||
434 passage saying that he will come on the clouds. To know this, we must first understand the meaning of the word "clouds". We
|
||
435 read in Revelation 1:7: 'Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, every one who pierced him; and all
|
||
436 the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so, Amen.' From this we know that all men will surely see Christ
|
||
437 comming again. Meanwhile, at the time when Stephen was martyred, only the saints whose spiritual were open could see Jesus
|
||
438 sitting at the right hand of God (Acts 7:55). Consequently, if Jesus, who is in the spirit world, should come in a spiritual
|
||
439 body, he will be seen only by those whose spiritual eyes are open; so it would never be that every eye will see Christ coming
|
||
440 again. Therefore, we can understand that it is because he will come in the flesh that the Bible says every eye will see the Lor
|
||
441 at his coming. The Lord, in the flesh, cannot come on the clouds, so the "clouds" are surely symbolic.
|
||
442 The same Biblical passage goes on to say that every one who pierced him will also see him. Those who pierced Jesus were th
|
||
443 Roman soldiers of his days. However, those Roman soldiers, of course, cannot see the Lord coming again. It is because, if the
|
||
444 Roman soldiers are able to see the Lord comming again on the earth, they must be resurrected, but it says in Revelation 20:5
|
||
445 that those who will be resurected at the time of the Lord's Second Advent are only those who will participate in the first res-
|
||
446 urrection, and the rest of the dead would not come to life until the thousand years (the millennium) are ended. Therefore, we
|
||
447 must interpret "those who pierced" as a parable, regarding it to be the appelation for those who, having believed Christ will
|
||
448 come on the clouds, will disregard and persecute him when he comes again most unexpectadly through a physical birth on the
|
||
449 earth. If "those who pierced" should be interpreted as a parable in this way, there would be no reason why we cannot interpret
|
||
450 the word "clouds" in the same passage, also, as a parable.

|
||
497 ................................................................................
|
||
498 After realizing that the cat was relatively harmless, the bard left
|
||
499 Eric to the task of healing it. He began to check his equipment...
|
||
500 "Damn! It isn't working... well how about the... " After a space the bard
|
||
501 merely sat and stared at the devices piled around him. There didn't seem to be
|
||
502 anything WRONG with them... except the fact that their readings were all utter
|
||
503 NONSENSE. The tracker insisted that he was still on the Columbia, same world
|
||
504 line, velocity, etc. That meant that however he had gotten here (wherever "here"
|
||
505 is!) it hadn't registered on ANYTHING. Any attempt to use his gear for a shift
|
||
506 would be a totally blind jump.
|
||
507 Maybe the apprentice could get them out of this...
|
||
508 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
509 In honor of the battles of the last disk:
|
||
510 One Tin Soldier (theme from "Billy Jack")
|
||
511 Listen, children, to a story that was written long ago
|
||
512 'bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley folk below
|
||
513 On the mountain was a treasure, buried deep beneath a stone
|
||
514 And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own.
|
||
515 Chorus:Go ahead and hate your nieghbor, go ahead and cheat a friend
|
||
516 Do it in the name of Heaven, you can justify it in the end
|
||
517 There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgement day
|
||
518 On the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away...
|
||
519 So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill
|
||
520 Asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill
|
||
521 Came an answer from the kingdom: "With our brothers, we will share
|
||
522 All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there."
|
||
523 CHORUS
|
||
524 Now the valley cried with anger, "Mount your horses, draw your sword!"
|
||
525 And they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward
|
||
526 Now they stood beside the treasure, on the mountain dark and red
|
||
527 Turned the stone and looked beneath it "PEACE ON EARTH" was all it said...
|
||
528 CHORUS
|
||
529 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BARD~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
530 Whisper: the move was to get more room.
|
||
531 .............................
|
||
532 While he could not seem to touch the cat's thoughts, he could feel its
|
||
533 gratitude. #Thou art welcome, my friend,# he thought at it.
|
||
534 It almost knocked him off his feet when it tried to rub up against him
|
||
535 as he walked over to Kenin and his pile of 'equipment'. It immediately "apologized"
|
||
536 though.
|
||
537 They discussed the situation as Kenin repacked his gear. The cat seemed
|
||
538 to wish to westwards. Having no better plan, they followed.
|
||
539 They reached the bank of a stream. In spite of the recent flooding, the outline
|
||
540 of a pentagram was still visible. The apprentice bent down to examine one of the
|
||
541 line{BLINK}s.
|
||
542 They were standing on an expanse of gray ash at the foot of a mountain.
|
||
543 "Not again!"

||

591 All: The other day when I was on BW, someone picked up a new cordless phone
|

592 in the next room. Apparently, the phone sends out a signal over a frequency
|
||
593 that fills up the keyboard buffer, even with my modem turned off. My system
|
||
594 crashed and I thought Backwater did, too. (Evidently it didn't) Does any
|

595 one know what happened? I was entering a message and someone most have
