75 Mr. Innkeeper, I am sure you will enjoy your new model. As you have noticed,
|
|
76 there are a few new modifications. Some have expressed displeasure with our
|
|
77 modifying an age old model, but as always, progress dictates we keep up with
|
|
78 advancing technology. Your old steed will never know what hit him. His end
|
|
79 will come painlessly. Please don't let it concern you. We have a lot of
|
|
80 compassion for these beasts before we turn them into glue. Good bye, good
|
|
81 luck, and thank you for your business. I hope we can help you some more in
|
|
82 the future, be it 5 years or 50000 miles, whichever comes first.

|
|
109 Milchar, we're going to have to stop meeting like this; people are beginning
|
|
110 to talk.
|
|
111 Regarding the groupie question: wattsa matter, 'fraid I cheated?
|
|
112 I sat down, thought very hard, called my uncle Harry, and Voila!
|
|
113 Hey, no, actually, I did it the old fashioned way. (the other old fashioned way).
|
|
114 All the characters in the first group are formed with only straight lines.
|
|
115 All the characters in the third group are formed with only curved lines
|
|
116 The second group gets what's left--like Ninjas "J", which has a straight
|
|
117 shaft but a curved base. (I was going to say 'bottom' but some of our
|
|
118 viewers have a puerile sense of humor.)
|
|
119 I grouped the letters according to the way I learned to print them; the
|
|
120 character generator on my computer learned to form a "C" with a straight
|
|
121 back, and an "O" with straight sides, for example.
|
|
122 No takers on my last puzzle? I'm not surprised. If 'I' can't solve it, it is of course too much to expect gerbils, mice,
|
|
123 hawthornes, phoenixes, 'frogs' and other such rejects to even understand
|
|
124 the question. {did that come out of me? a really great way to alienate
|
|
125 the paying customers. must be from watching those lizards on the boob
|
|
126 this evening}.
|
|
127 Speaking of V, what a dumb ending. This kid grows to the size and maturity of
|
|
128 a nine-year old; saves the world with some unexplained power (and the scene reminded
|
|
129 me all too much of the ending of the first Star Trek movie), the
|
|
130 chief baddie (Diana) escapes from the ship, and we last see her sitting in space eyeing Earth with an evil
|
|
131 smirk a la Darth Vader at the end of Star Wars. The aliens are killed off by H.G. Well's War of
|
|
132 the Worlds gimmick. The rebels, in isolated groups, have the ability
|
|
133 to incubate and process the germs in quantities enough to dose the entire world.

|
|
221 Quizmaster: I haven't seen "V: the final battle" yet, because I work nights.
|
|
222 I hope to watch the tape this weekend. So please forgive any inaccuracies.
|
|
223 Germ warfare is EASY, you could breed a plague that would devaste Portland in
|
|
224 your kitchen. The main reason terrorists haven't tried it is that, while
|
|
225 breeding large cultures is easy, immunizing yourself isn't. In V I doubt that
|
|
226 this will be a problem! A *SINGLE* test tube can contain enough of many bio-war
|
|
227 agents to kill EVERYONE in the US (probably the world!). The problem is
|
|
228 distributing the agent in a reasonably even pattern.

231 No story line now, I don't know how it comes out yet.
|
|
232 Hawthorne: Please don't be angry with us all; the people who are insulting/rejecting you are for the most part thee
|
|
233 same ones who we "regulars" (I actually consider us "Premium No-leads") are having problems coping with. Other
|
|
234 than a slight tendency toward incoherent names, I have no fleebles with your messages. Actually, I think you fit in
|
|
235 rather well with the menagerie assembled here. The problem as I see it is that I didn't attend the last PC&S
|
|
236 gathering. These poor children around here are just lost for a good storyline without my input, and nothing
|
|
237 serves to bring the BakH2O together like a good tag-team tale. Political & religious discussion comes a distant
|
|
238 second. (Don't get me wrong, I like that too.) So, everybody out there, let's get another story going. I can't
|
|
239 supply ALL the ideas ( I'm SOOO humble) so I'm soliciting suggestions. With the creative talent out there this
|
|
240 dillemma should be solved in no time at all. (No time at all...nice concept.)
|
|
241 By the way, I favor the 120-char. margin for 2 reasons: 1) it makes more efficient use of scarce disk space, and
|
|
242 2) since I have to put up with choppy lines on my 38-col screen anyway I think that EVERYONE should suffer too. I'd
|
|
243 use 128, but I hear it gives fits to some terminal software.

|

246 Hawthorne: One of the first things many of us learned when we
|
|
247 started on this system is that sometimes you need a thick skin.
|
|
248 Don't let a few discouraging comments get you down; I'm afraid
|
|
249 that's just the price we sometimes pay for the good times
|
|
250 Backwater can offer. Hang in there, there's a place for
|
|
251 everyone in this madhouse. You belong here as much as the
|
|
252 rest of us. Gary
|
|
253 :***********************************************************:
|
|
254 Mad Actor: I've felt that adventures are more fun if they're
|
|
255 not pre-planned by a group of insiders. That's primarily the
|
|
256 reason the McKane organization has never had a representative
|
|
257 at any of the Backwater functions. I feel it's more fun (as
|
|
258 well as more spontaneous and creative) if the participants
|
|
259 don't have any idea what's going to happen. That's only my
|
|
260 opinion, of course, and it comes from someone who has never
|
|
261 appreciated the joys of belonging to a clique. Grand D.
|
|
262 ===================
|
|
263 P.S. - One last opinion. Mohammed Wassir (Mike Bigham) is
|
|
264 certainly among the most creative talents I've seen on this
|
|
265 board. Since Mohammed hasn't made an appearance in recent
|
|
266 adventures I feel that they have suffered as a consequence.
|
|
267 I, for one, miss the imagination that brought us Mohammed,
|
|
268 Valinor, and Serena. They were able to keep the action going
|
|
269 without first needing to confer with the group. GDM

337 THE THINK TANK HAS MET, AND IN AN UNPRECEDENTED MOVE,
|
|
338 HAWTHORNE MAY BE GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE TO LIVE. IT IS
|
|
339 POSSIBLE IN THE FACE OF A CRISIS THAT SOME OF THE MISTAKES
|
|
340 WROUGHT IN THE ORIGINAL DESIGN (ILL) HAVE CORRECTED THEMSELVES
|
|
341 IN SOME SORT OF ON-LINE REGENERATION. RECENT MESSAGES HAVE
|
|
342 SHOWN A MARKED INCREASE IN TEXTUAL CONTENT. THEY ARE NOT THE
|
|
343 INANE BANAL MESSAGES FROM BEFORE. ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL ROOM
|
|
344 FOR IMPROVEMENT, WE ARE WILLING TO WAIT AND SEE, AND HOPE FOR
|
|
345 THE BEST. OUR DECISION WAS IN NO WAY MADE IN ACCORDANCE TO
|
|
346 THE MANY BLEEDING HEARTS WHO CAME TO THE AID OF HAWTHORNE. BUT
|
|
347 THE FACT THAT SOME SEEMED TO THINK HIS CONTINUED EXISTANCE
|
|
348 WAS WARRENTED (ALTHOUGH UTTERLY BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION), WE
|
|
349 SET ABOUT TRYING TO WORK OUT A WAY TO SEE THIS EXPERIMENT
|
|
350 THROUGH. COMPARE THIS SITUATION WITH A NEW TELEVISION SITCOM
|
|
351 THAT IS GIVEN FOUR MORE WEEKS TO FIND AN AUDIENCE. HAWTHORNE,
|
|
352 FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DO NOT WASTE THIS TIME. IF YOU CONTINUE TO
|
|
353 IMPROVE, YOUR EXISTANCE WILL BE CARRIED OVER INTO NEXT SEASON.
|
|
354 HOWEVER-THE JURY IS STILL OUT ON THE HORRIBLE FAILURE THAT
|
|
355 IS KNOWN AS PHEONIX. AND EXPERIMENT NUMBER 3, THE MOB RULES
|
|
356 IS ALSO WHAT WE WOULD CALL A SNAFU. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT
|
|
357 OUR GENETIC ENGINEERS ARE DOING SO POORLY, AND BELIEVE US,
|
|
358 EVERY EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. PLEASE
|
|
359 BEAR WITH US.

366 You guys are really getting out of control. Whats all this Death

367 To Pheonix stuff? Personally though, I think Black Sabbath (as a
|
|
368 whole) wouldn't make such a great president. Especially since
|
|
369 one person can be in office at a time. So whats say we put OZZY
|
|
370 in the white house. If nothin else we will rid the world of bats
|
|
371 and strieght men. What this world needs is more OZZY's.

419 Milchar sprinkles some fine blue dust upon the mat, which quivers twice.

420 Milchar looks quietly at the mat for a few moments, and finally says,"Alley

422 The mat jerks another two times, and slowly rises into the air about two feet

423 off the ground. "This will take us to Amber quite quickly- so be sure to

438 Todays puzzle.
|
|
439 A missionary visits an island where two tribes live. One tribe always tells
|
|
440 the truth. The other always lies. The truth tellers live on the western side o
|
|
441 the island, and the liars live on the eastern side. The missionary's problem is
|
|
442 to determine who tells the truth by asking one native only one question.
|
|
443 The missionary, seeing a native walking in the distance, asksa a nearby native
|
|
444 "go ask that native in the distance which side of the island he lives on."
|
|
445 When the messenger returns he answers "He says he lives on the western side
|
|
446 of the island."
|
|
447 Is the messenger a truth teller or a liar? How can you be sure?????
|
|
448 Notice that this takes place on an island with "natives"? Of course normal
|
|
449 WASPS couldn't be capable of lying. Notice that the Truth Tellers are on
|
|
450 the WEST, and the liars are on the EAST? Built-in political prejudices?
|
|
451 And of course our hero is a Missionary. Able to divine right and wrong
|
|
452 with a single blow! Anyway.....

585 Bravo Hawthorne! A definite improvement, more in the style I like
|
|
586 to see on the Backwater. My only complaint is forty columns wastes
|
|
587 an awful lot of space. It also scroll past rather quickly, so I have
|
|
588 to keep hitting ^S to pause while I catch up. What Really bugs me though
|
|
589 is that I had about 25 lines to enter, and there is not enough room left
|
|
590 on the disk. CISTOP MIKEY, you've been neglecting the maintainance lately.
|
|
591 Milchar--If I had been able to enter my prose, I would have been on my
|
|
592 way to join you. Since it has been over two years since I read the Amber
|
|
593 books, I don't remember the Ruby valley. Could you tell me where I
|
|
594 can find references, so I can review?

596 Grand Dragonmaster--Our meetings at the PorSFiS meetings have not resulted in
|
|
597 any real conspiracy to direct the story lines here at Backwater. You must admit, BW seems to be rather slow lately,
|
|
598 and we did decide to try writing a story based on a common beginning. This resulted in the Kolumbia fiasco. Those of

599 us that like the mulitauthored stories though maybe a little cohesion would help, but......::::O O::voyeur:::O O::::::::
