59 If so, it does a good job of getting MiG, L'homme and me together all in

60 the same place if we decide to carpool (translation: all three of us could

61 go in L'hommes infamous Mustang. I'm sure MiG remembers why a full load in

|
203 The Archer looked into the gaping mouth of the forbidding cave.
|
|
204 It was a long jurney here, but as before, one must fulfill ones quest.
|
|
205 After a pause the Archer entered, his lone magic light casting strange shapes
|
|
206 on the high walls. There were many sounds in this dark cave, the drips of
|
|
207 an invisible stalagmite somewhere above. And off in the distance, rushing
|
|
208 water could be heard through all the caverns below, and bats flapping
|
|
209 about. Archer followed the maze until he was standing in a great cavern.
|
|
210 He didn't dare say a word that might trigger some of the caves magic or
|
|
211 make a sound, he kept silently walking down the barren passage ways.
|
|
212 After a small meal, He continued on his lonely quest. It must have been
|
|
213 getting late as the Archer weaved in and out of the old tunnels. Making
|
|
214 sure all was safe he bedded down for what he though was night for time
|
|
215 had little meaning down here.
|
|
216 The next morning was as bright as a cave could get, black! The Archer
|
|
217 turned on his light and continued onward, according to his ancient map,
|
|
218 there was only three miles to go, then he would be at the center of this

|
|
222 The hidden camera lazily swept its gaze along the length of the room
|
|
223 until finding a lonely figure, dictating to a tape recorder...
|
|
224 "I, being completely certain of total privacy within this room, am about to
|
|
225 recount the more salient aspects of recent occurrences. This I do, my dear
|
|
226 comrade, to fulfill the promise I made to you during our last conversation.
|
|
227 For security reasons, from this point onward, all parties, including yourself,
|
|
228 will be referred to in the third person (with the natural exception of myself).
|
|
229 After being given the slip by the plain looking man in the overcoat, I decided
|
|
230 to do some investigating. Unfortunately, I wasn't sure how to go about finding
|
|
231 what I was looking for. I was walking along the 11th floor when...OH MY GOSH,
|
|
232 it's my ex-wife! In the next instant, my catlike reflexes placed me inside a
|
|
233 nearby linen closet. Serentipity! What to my wondering eyes should appear?
|
|
234 A ventilation duct! Thus my private transportation through the building.
|
|
235 Once in the air ducts, I was pleasantly surprised by the shaft's capacity to
|
|
236 pick up noise from all over the building. Naturally, I worked towards the
|
|
237 direction from which I heard some familiar names being bandied about. It was at
|
|
238 this point, somewhere between the 11th and 12th floors, that my consciousness
|
|
239 was pierced by a hideous noise from beneath me. After countless stunned seconds,
|
|
240 I realized that my shoe-phone was ringing. After performing certain moves which
|
|
241 any contortionist would be proud to call his own, I managed to answer the phone.
|
|
242 The voice on the other end belonged to one of McKane's men. "you are in a very
|
|
243 awkward position, Petrov." (He was telling me!) "be prepared to receive
|
|
244 important information concerning a mole placed in our adversarie's organization.
|
|
245 You may need to contact him/her." I had, however, no time to wait for the info.
|
|
246 The passing of several minutes found me peering into a bathroom on the 13th
|
|
247 floor. I was long past the point of being ashamed at myself for such behavior.
|
|
248 The necessities of my occupation had forced me into witnessing countless
|
|
249 examples of American decadence all through the hotel.(hee-hee). The man I was
|
|
250 watching now seemed to be admiring the bathroom for some reason. At that instant
|
|
251 my shoe-phone began to ring. The voice on the other end said this: "Following is
|
|
252 vital information concerning the mole in our enemy's organization..."
|
|
253 It was my misfortune that, at that moment, an argument was beginning in a
|
|
254 nearby room. The angry words reverberated through the shaft. Together, the
|
|
255 two sources of speech assaulted my ears in a maelstrom of incomprehensible
|
|
256 syllables. (eg. "thmomeehonabasha.k.a.knowomanotorealboralphabetimousness.")
|
|
257 The argument died down but the phone message continued. "...This message will
|
|
258 not be repeated." TANJ! I missed the most important message of my life. Well, I
|
|
259 still have a chance.
|
|
260 Meanwhile, I noticed that the man in the bathroom was looking in my direction
|
|
261 with an odd expression on his face. I suddenly recognized the man as one who was
|
|
262 investigating McKane...L'Amperage?...no...L'homme! That was it!
|
|
263 Feeling that it was time to introduce myself, I carefully inspected the
|
|
264 grating covering the air vent and, with great finesse, proceeded to take about
|
|
265 half a dozen thumps at it with the butt of my gun.Finally, the grating fell to
|
|
266 the floor, a twisted mass of mangled metal. I climbed out from just next to the
|
|
267 toilet and looked up in time to see L'homme pointing something at me...
|
|
268 ...When I came to, I found myself naked, suspended upside-down over a
|
|
269 bathtub. I asked L'homme to avoid the usual "hanging around" and "all tied up
|
|
270 right now" jokes--and he kindly obliged. Joshua couldn't help himself, though.
|
|
271 After that, things got a little more civilized.I had a nice conversation with
|
|
272 Joshua and L'homme concerning the fact that I would like to work with them as
|
|
273 a double agent against McKane. I couldn't tell if they trusted me, but they did
|
|
274 seem interested when I mentioned my ability to finger the Mole. Incidentally,
|
|
275 Joshua couldn't get over the feeling that he had seen me somewhere before.
|
|
276 So much for the meeting with Joshua and L'homme. My conversation with McKane
|
|
277 was also interesting. I let McKane know that I was befriending his adversaries.
|
|
278 (why was his pet mountain lion licking his chops like that?)
|
|
279 Anyway, both McKane and the L'homme/Joshua team know that I'm working as a
|
|
280 double agent. Only you and I, comrade, know for who.
|
|
281 The hidden camera and microphone observed as Petrov switched off the recorder
|
|
282 and summoned a servant. "You must deliver this tape to-"
|
|
283 SNAP,SIZZLE,CRACK
|
|
284 A most inopportune time for the camera to short out.

288 Adventure Alert! Adventure Alert? In order to avoid troubles later on, a few
|
|
289 clarifications need to be made. My first question, is the role of sundowner.
|
|
290 His first message appeared to be ingnored by McKane, except for a stern msg
|
|
291 regarding "Who is this guy?". Sundowner is playing McKane in such a manner
|
|
292 that I am not sure who to responde to. Sundowner? Leroy? Temporary truce
|
|
293 until we sort this out? Or...if you wish, we can just continue along with
|
|
294 the present context. Maybe the confusion will make the story more interesting,

295 as long as it doesn't destroy it completly. And secondly, the last message
|
|
296 by Petrov...Although an excellent entry, I am a bit confused... Maybe someone
|
|
297 in the net (or the opposition) can clear it up? Number one...is my ticking
|
|
298 toilet to be ignored? If so, I will flush the idea (sorry). Number two,
|
|
299 is Petrov re-telling a story that has already happened? If so, great, even
|
|
300 though that's an awful lot of 1 writer character interaction to take place.
|
|
301 But I DO like the direction. I question this, becuase in Petrov's lengthy
|
|
302 description on his arrival at our bathroom, he managed to do so on the
|
|
303 wrong floor, although Joshua and I have been very careful to write 14th
|
|
304 floor explicitly several times. Hmmmm...It also looks like Petrov is
|
|
305 playing multiple levels on his character, Petrov level, whoever is using
|
|
306 the hidden camera level...
|
|
307 Anyway...I am going to refrain from the adventure (and ticking toilet)
|
|
308 until I get some response. BUT, and I repeat this, if no one feels like
|
|
309 responding or offering their views, then I will continue as if nothing
|
|
310 were said, and play L'homme as any good frenchman would (Damien II not
|
|
311 withstanding, quelle jerk?)
|
|
312 RISK PLAYERS : The 14th sounds fine. Color makes no difference to me, and
|
|
313 I will take what is left...
|
|
314 MIG: Still there? You didn't make it to Westercon. Too bad...It was your
|

318 --->To all: I shall affirm that this new Archer is NOT the same as the one with the Apple. As you know, he has no
|
|
319 lowercase. Maybe if he wrote a new term program...
|
|
320 --->L'homme:All right, I shall refain from involving McKane anymore, but shall move about on my own.
|
|
321 --->McKane: Do you wish to have the Sun-Gun?
|
|
322 --->Riskers: How I swish I could play, but it has been such a long time since I have last seen a board that I would
|
|
323 be lost among all the potential Nepoleons. Ah, well, I shall listen to the preparations on the 14th, hopefully.
|
|
324 --->Mig: What has happened to Le Nerd? Did you get a new modem? I keep getting a carrier, but the system will not
|
|
325 respond to my <CR>s. Please find out what the situation is, I think I feel a Le Nerd attack coming on.
|
|
326 --->To any who care: My calls to BBS's are becoming limited due to a demand of my limited programming skills. Namely,
|
|
327 computerizing the billing of a small business, from the ground up. On an Apple, yet. Feel sorry for me.
|
|
328 --->Doctor: Please move on to page two, I can hardly wait. You already have some critizism (sp?), so you are not
|
|
329 being ignored.
|
|
330 --->All: After this McKane thing is over, I think that a switch to non-fantasy would be good for us. The question
|
|
331 of heroes is a good starting point. To me, McKane is not a hero in any sense of the word but the antagonist. He is
|
|
332 not admired by anyone (in their right mind). See? I shall invite uncounted debate over that last statement, all
|
|
333 by itself.

|
|
340 I'd like to begin by apologizing for the lengthy entry. It was about 20
|
|
341 lines longer than my intended maximum.
|
|
342 Concerning the toilet: the 'ticking' you heard was reported by you as being a
|
|
343 'noise.' By stating that I appeared from next to the toilet, I meant to
|
|
344 address that problem. I'm sorry for the lack of clarity in that respect.
|
|
345 (the noise was coming from me in the air duct next to the toilet).
|
|
346 Secondly, I was extremely careful to state the 13th floor. From my
|
|
347 perspective in the air duct, I counted physical levels. The hotel does
|
|
348 not have a 13th floor, thus the 14th floor is physically number 13.(clear?)
|
|
349 I am NOT playing multiple level characters. The camera in the scene
|
|
350 was mainly a writers (and I use the term loosely) gimmick. The camera could
|
|
351 technically be claimed by any character--though it would do little good
|
|
352 as I never specified who's side I'm working on.(I have not decided on that
|
|
353 myself.) I hope that this clears up some questions. I will be more clear in the future.

|
|
367 It's good that Logan opened the discussion about who's the
|
|
368 real protagonist in these stories. I think it's about time we
|
|
369 got this whole issue straightened out.
|
|
370
|
|
371 Voyeur observes that in the current adventure McKane appears
|
|
372 the hero. What he fails to mention is that Mr. McKane and his
|
|
373 organization have always been the hero. Let's take a bit of
|
|
374 a historical perspective of the McKane organization to see who
|
|
375 the good guys really are.
|
|
376
|
|
377 Early on the McKane organization battled Mohammed Wassir and
|
|
378 his insideous international terrorist organization, the
|
|
379 Albanian Revolutionary Party. When Mohammed kidnappped the
|
|
380 beloved PAM the McKane organization were the only ones to
|
|
381 condemn this outrage and demanded her return.
|
|
382
|
|
383 When full scale war hit Portland, nearly devestating the Inn,
|
|
384 it was Fast Fred who supplied the Bolos and everyone else who
|
|
385 performed the carnage. Mr McKane was peacefully attending to
|
|
386 business in the Persian Gulf.
|
|
387
|
|
388 While the rest of you were spying, plotting, and inflicting
|
|
389 violence on one another it was the McKane organization that
|
|
390 turned to love and compassion. It was the McKane organization
|
|
391 that created a new form of therapy, started a new religion,
|
|
392 and brought love and concern to warm fuzzy animals.
|
|
393
|
|
394 By all rights Mr McKane should be among the great heros of our
|
|
395 land. God fearing freckled faced boys and girls should hold
|
|
396 the example of the McKane organization as their highest ideal.
|
|
397
|
|
398 At a time when American youth is in desperate need of heroic
|
|
399 role models, LeRoy McKane is misunderstood, mistreated, and
|
|
400 slandered. Intentional destructive propoganda by anti-American
|
|
401 groups such as the NET and the Albanian Revolutionary Party
|
|
402 besmerched the name of one of Americas great institutions.
|
|
403 This travesty must end. Truth must Triumph. God and LeRoy
|
|
404 McKane are the only powers that can bring goodness, charity,
|
|
405 and righteousness to the Backwater Inn.
|
|
406
|
|
407 May God bless Mr LeRoy McKane and his wonderful organization.

490 arrow just mearly bounced off his armored plates. The giant swung his

491 huge club smashing into the wall next to the Archer, pieces of rock

504 All: I am really the man called Logan... The Doctor is he. I used that name until I knew your reactions thoo my story
|
|
505 Hrere is page two, for those of you who will read it.
|
|
506 'Not only that, you're also the director, the cameraman, the makeup and special effects departments. You're the
|
|
507 whole darn studio. You make it up as you go along. You write the script as you live it.(And when in doubt, you check
|
|
508 your memory for how you played this scene last time. If it worked before...)
|
|
509 That's true for all of us on this planet. We're the heroes to ourselves. We're all stars.
|
|
510 But that still doesn't answer the question. If everyone is a hero, then what is it that makes a hero so special?
|
|
511 I maen, is everyone is a hero, then why is this particular hero important? Hmm. Maybe he's not. Maybe he's just a
|
|
512 person who had his story told, that's all. Ah, I see. That means that heroes are created by authors and historians.
|
|
513 History is written by the winners. It always validates the present by portraying those who created this situation
|
|
514 as being worthy of the reader's identification and affection. No, that answer is insufficient, too. Obviously, just
|
|
515 having a problem isn't enough. You have to do something about it. You have to do something heroic. You see--we're
|
|
516 still no closer to the answer here. How do we know what heroism is???
|
|
517 It was a convention theat I had the answer handed to me. I had the oportunity to see a hero in action. I had wandered
|
|
518 into a panel session about America's space effort. There were a number of people on the stage, but only two I
|
|
519 recognized, Dick Hoagland of the Jet Propulsion Lab, and Jerry Pournelle-who is not only one of the world's best hard
|
|
520 SF writers, but-as I later learned-also one of the movers and shakers behind thae L5 Society.
|
|
521 The audience was the usual fannish lot, a mismatched mix of individuals looking sometihing like those who had been
|
|
522 thrown out of an Anarchist's convention. Apparently, I had wandered into the middle of something, because a class
|
|
523 three riot was forming. Somebody must have said something truthful, because there was a lot of angry people in the
|
|
524 room. One was screaming about the manners of the panelists. Another was saying that there was no need for man to go
|
|
525 into space, we could send robots. One was worried about the corporate exploitaion of space. Another wanted us to
|
|
526 stay out of space to keep it from being used for military purposes. Another stood up to say that the space effort was
|
|
527 immoral because people here on Earth were starving to death every day. Jerry Pournelle took the microphone. And he
|
|
528 did something unusual, for Jerry Pournelle. He lowered his voice. He said, (and I'm paraphrasing here.), "You all
|
|
529 know me. I'm a committed Republican--somewhere tho the right of Attila the Hun. But this November, I'm voting for a
|
|
530 Democratic candidate, because of his commitment to the space program. We need people in our government who are
|
|
531 commited to space. That's more important than anything else to me." I sat there in mild shock. Jerry Pournelle and
|
|
532 David Gerrold used to have some rip-roaring political arguments. And I knew how he felt about this particular
|
|
533 candidate--he was not a fan of the man. So, for him to make such a statement in front of an audience was an incredible
|
|
534 act of courage and commitment. It took me a moment to see the fullness of it, but I got it. That was a heroic act.
|
|
535 I though about heroes on the flight back from the convention.
|
|
536
|
|
537 I shall leave off here. I feel that I have taken up enough room and time for one sitting. I thank you for tolerating
|

561 Hum, looks like ol' C.Y.M. had a bad day. I must apologise to all for my rampant
|
|
562 misspellings, but they are an essential part of my charicter. I ask of you, DAMIAN, what is it that makes spelling
|
|
563 so bloody important? I have a spelling checker program that I use for that. I noticed also that Voyeur cought you making
|
|
564 some errors yourself! All of us "budding" authors are that, learning a new craft. If
|
|
565 you would like, I could put up some beautifull Z-8000 code that I have spent all of my time writing! How well do you
|

566 program DAMIAN? How well do you speak? I hold awards for my ability to BS at a moments notice(improv class a,timed)
|
|
567 I will admit to having problems with spelling and having horrible grammar, but I am learning!
|
|
568 If you would like, I have some of my very first entries on this system from over a year ago, and I am sure that you woul
|
|
569 d have loads of laughs at them. I notice that you are not into writing anything but
|
|
570 critisisims of other peoples writing, why don't you write some? let us see how many mistakes you make! But I also want
|
|
571 you to do it from a heavily moded Trash-80 MC-10 without ANY editing capibilitys.
|

572 And the French, I am gradualy learning a new language, is that bad? are you a reader of French? how do you know it is ba

574 (that was a typo,I will NOT correct it!) You have a typicaly ethnocentric attitude twords things,I can tell.

575 As for the kids, I spent 6 months teaching 6th graders howw to use computers and they do NOT spell worth a damn, but the
|

576 y do learn, just as the rest of us do.
|

577 In short, I am condeming your message as a simple attempt at making yourself feel supirior to the ones around you,

590 Sundownor : Thanks for the reply. I didn't mean for you to stop entering messages, but it was a little confusing
|
|
591 figuring out who to respond to.
|

592 Petrov: Partly my fault. Thanks for the clarification.

|
593 MIKEY:Aaron has definitly improved upon his formative years. He has much improved his skills. I hope you don't think
|
|
594 any less of him after what I said. I realized I may have gone too far in jest. Again, don't judge him too harshly.

596 "What do you think about that Petrov character?", I asked Joshua. "Do you think he can be trusted?"
|
|
597 "I don't quite know what to think. He seems to have quite a bit of knowledge about the McKane organization, but this
|
|
598 double agent stuff troubles me. How do we know what side he is really on?"
|
|
599 "That is true. I say we call Ian, and have the NET check Petrov out. I realize we don't have too much information to
|
|
600 give him, but Ian is quite resourceful, and I am sure he can come up with something."
|
|
601 "Good idea. I will call him. Why don't you prepare the room for our departure."
|
|
602 I went about the task of setting booby traps and hidden security devices that had come with the equipement from
|
|
603 Ian. The NET has the state-of-the-art in espionage devices, and I was glad to be on the sending rather than the
|
|
604 receiving end of them.
|
|
605 "If anyone can live through all of these traps, I'll personally give them the keys to my car.",I half-joked to a busy
|
|
606 Joshua.
|
|
607 As we left, I set the last trap right by the door, and locked it.
|
|
608 "Oh...one more thing", I said, while pulling a single strand of hair from my head. Wetting the hair, I placed it across
|
|
609 the door and the door frame, where it stayed in place.
|
|
610 "Something I saw in an old James Bond movie."
|
|
611 "Oh...I see.", replied Joshua, as we made our way to the elevator marked express...

|
|
614 Well, well; I've not been around for a while, but I see things haven't changed
|
|
615 too much since last time--still bickering and back-stabbing and juveniling...
|
|
616 Even though Milchar seems to be otherwise occupied, we'll see if anyone else feels up to my puzzle. Here goes:
|
|
617 Each day a man's wife meets him at the railroad station and drives him home. One day he arrives at the station
|
|
618 an hour early and begins to walk home along the road his wife always takes. She meets him en route and takes him the
|
|
619 rest of the way home. Had he waited at the station, she would have picked him up exactly on time. As it turned out,
|
|
620 he reached his home twenty minutes early. How long did the man walk?
|
|
621 Okay gang, chew on that a while.

|

623 I WONDER WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PAM? SHE'S DONE GONE AND DISAPPEARED ON US AGAIN!
