Looks pretty cool and it sounds like they're having fun. Welcome to the cellar folks.

Plan of Attack: Brainstorm

"NEWS TEAM, ASSEMBLE!!!"

Wherever we decide to explore, we should have an "intro" thread where we all make an initial appearance. Think of it as the opening credits to our TV show "....And Payne as Dr. Phineas T Poxswattle." *Payne poses*

We'll dick around on the forum, but most of the time, when something relevant is "happening", it'll happen in our intro thread. So as a brainstorm...

we all show up as safari explorers. In our intro thread we comment about the long dangerous trip through the internet, and the awful atrocities we've witnessed (you know like Goatse). We're looking for Dr. Livingstoned, who is lost on the internet. Smalltalk smalltalk adlib, etc

The next day, someone makes an alt of a "native forumite". He shows up in our thread and gives us some clues as to where Dr. Livingstoned is. Maybe he's been sighted viewing some other thread on the board.

Anyway, when we're ready to draw the antics to a close, Dr. Livingstoned shows up in our intro thread and we all shake his hand. Having recovered our teammate, we can leave this god-forsaken place. Then, before we leave, we'll post a link to the next message board we're exploring.

If we meet anyone supercool we'll link them to our forum.

anyone want to riff on this?

what a cool idea. supercool.

Dr. Livingstoned! Sorry I'm late; I meant to show up earlier but I was detained by a ferocious jungle bureaucrat.

Jolly good show chaps, post approval is a bit of a bother, but the rest of the lads from the royal academy will make there way into camp once we figure it out.

"Draw a £1000 pounds now; and when you have gone through that, draw another thousand, and when that is spent, draw another thousand, and when you have finished that, draw another thousand, and so on; but, find Livingstone!"

I hate that feature myself. Everytime i register a sockpuppet/dual/alt, I have to wait for UT or bruce to notice it, and clear me.
It is the only thing that works for the amount of spammers that come to call though.

How long have you been on safari, Sir John?

::: passes a flask of cellar whiskey:::

How many forums will you visit this trip out?

I hope that the wilds of Darkest Pennsylvania do not prove too much for them. They've already lost their mildly expendable porter, and may need all of their massed strength to confront the dreaded wild beasts that here abound.

I thought that the White Man's Burden was not supposed to include his own luggage?

lumberjim · 01-26-2009, 01:36 PM

is this person one of your expedition scouts?
