This seems like as fine a place as any to mention that Liyoshi is comfortably in the lead in Gathering post count. His post count is in the low 60s. His brother Chris is in the high 50s and in second place; Chris posted a lot in and immediately after the party part of the Gathering and hasn't posted much in the last 300-400 posts. No one else is over 45 posts.Tim got up.
He didn't have homesickness anymore, somehow.
How convenient. It really couldn't have been that hard to come up with some more interesting way to lose a fight than ceasing to defend yourself due to homesickness. "I miss home... I want to die.""So...um, where am I?" Tim asked outloud.
[Magicant] A voice responded.
"Who...?" Tim asked.
[Shutup. You're here to defeat your dark side.]
"?"
[Speechless?]
"(you said to shutup, you sound powerful, so I did)"
[Talk]
"What does my dark side consist of?" Tim asked.
[Well, your the first one to ask that. I'm in a mean mood, so I won't tell you] The being said.
"Who are you?"
[Alright. I'm the overseerer of Magicant. no, not just your Magicant, everyone's. I'm different in everyones.]
"Oh...." Tim said.
"So, where is mister dark Tim?" Tim asked.
[Yer in a rush, eh? Fine. you'll meet him right about...now!]
Tim saw a figure racing towards him. It was Dark Tim, Tim's evil side. He figured that his evil self was much more powerful than his good self, but he didn't know for sure.
Then, the duel began. Dark Tim whipped out the Rainbow, while Tim drew out the Masamune. The swords clashed.Tim had greater skill, but Dark Tim had more strength. Tim had a much higher Defense, and Dark Tim a much higher offense. Tim totally dominated in magic, but was far from fast enough in recharge time.Tim had stronger Healing spells then offensive, and Dark Tim had the opposite. However, Tim got the advantage from this; Tim's Magic Attack was greater, and his Magic Defense was superior.
It is amazing, almost inconceivable, that he could still be writing this stuff after all this time. We're far past the point where it's obvious he doesn't care who reads it. I just can't fathom how he hasn't bored himself to tears with it yet."PSI Yoshi Beta!" Tim called out.
"PSI Boshi Beta!" Dark Tim said in reply. PSI Boshi did more damage then PSI Yoshi, but PSI Yoshi drained a few HP. Tim got several lucky slashes while Dark Tim was casting a spell. Of course, Dark Tim mimicked this strategy. Tim was smart, but Dark Tim was cunning.
Part of me wonders if he ever got his dream job as a game designer. Hey, everyone has a niche in life. Don't do drugs and you're bound to find yours sooner or later.After the long duel(I'm not in the mood to write out a super-epic battle), Tim ermerged as the victor, via the fact that his magic was stronger.
Which is funny because he's already written out a battle scene five times longer than anyone is interested in reading. I can only assume Liyoshi means he's decided not to drag this one out over 400 posts like he did with Evil Mani-Mani. A wise choice, since everyone else is wrapping up the Magicant Mission and (I presume) getting back to Saving the World.[Well, looks like you pulled through, pudgy.] Magicant Overseer said.
"Pudgy?" Tim asked, annoyed and hot.
[Well, I better send you on your way *snicker* see ya!]
"Het, what's the laug-" Tim was cut off by Evil Mani Mani raising his sword.
"Back to reality now!" Tim said. He slashed at the statue, but it didn't look damaged. In fact, it didn't seem to notice that Tim had hit it.
"Huh?" Tim thought. Then he realized it. He had exited Magicant with the same stats as when he had entered it. Sure enough, he found his physical offense far below that of which he had once he first got to the island, before he had any expierence.
"Whoa, I'm weak!" Tim said. Mani Mani hit him. It took Tim a few seconds to realize that he had been hit. He sudden'y realized Evil Mani Mani hadattacked when it held up it's sword.
"So," Tim thought to himself" I traded nearly all of my offense for defense by defeating Dark Tim....just how I like it!"
One wonders why a person who commands the Shield of Invincibility would need defense.Then, he rose into the air. "PSI Holy alpha," came from his lips. He had relaized the attack from the tenth melody. The beam hit Evil Mani Mani.
"I*wheeze* must withdraw. I'll let you win this battle, but remember, we WILL rule the world, FOOL!"
The Randite Statue then left the basement.
"I declare Tim the victor," The Apple of Enlightment said. Then' Tim left the basement, and decided to rest. He had had a long day in the basement.
It's funny because that 400+ post long battle accomplished absolutely nothing. Poignant, really.[This message has been edited by Little Yoshi (edited 05-06-2000).]

Although his dark side was exponentially stronger, physically, Anthadd was stronger morally.
"If only...I could...*cough*gain the upper hand." Anth used the driver as a crutch for his painfully swollen left leg.
Golf clubs are not really designed to lean 200 pounds on."You have no chance of winning," the evil said.
Evil, dumb, etc.
Post #878, by Little Yoshi
No, this isn't one ultra-long post Liyoshi split into two to stay current. Anthadd's was the last post of the evening of 6 May, and nine hours have passed since then. Liyoshi got up in the morning and dashed straight to the computer. He's excited to be writing this stuff.Tim woke up late, specificaly, 2:00pm, and left the fourside hotel. He wondered what he could do next.
"Hmmmm, Teleport alpha to...oh, Saturn Valley," Tim said. And waited. And waited. But nothing happened. He found the only sanctuary mgic that he did know was Rainy Circle, Ultima, and Holy.
"Hmmm, where art the whereabouts of Lavos? Or, more importantly, how am I gonna get there?" Tim asked himself. He strolled around in Fourside until he saw something in the water. What was it? It looked like someone else's boat, so he started to leave it alone, until he decided "What the heck," and checked it out. It was his boat, the Yoshi. He deactivated Security System 00, and started riding around...(if you need help, just give me a call)
I wouldn't mind a Liyoshi reprieve, but I doubt we're getting one. He'll make up some more stuff to do or jump into someone else's plotline soon enough.

Just then, Shock Bird flew in, and Drill Pecked Dark Machamp!
The Man's just keepin' a brother down!Poryhedron used Psychic on Dark Machamp.
Dark Machamp fainted!
"Very good," said Poryhedron.VBS, "but no match for me!"
Quickly, before Poryhedron.VBS converted to Shock Bird's type, Poryhedron fused with Shock Bird to become Pory-Bird!
Poryhedron.VBS converted to Pory-Bird's type!
Poryhedron and Shock Bird then split.
Poryhedron used Conversion and converted to Shock Bird's type.
SB used Thunder and Poryhedron used Blizzard at the same time, KOing Poryhedron.VBS.
A rocket used a pokéball and then caught Poryhedron.VBS. The Rocket then destroyed the pokéball.
Poryhedron.VBS was killed!
Dark Machamp disappeared!
Shock Bird returned to his coop!
Poryhedron thanked the Rocket, and he said, "You only lucked out. Those two were turning my pokémon disobedient!" and left.
Poryhedron lifted Pikachu out of the Sea and said, "Are you okay?"
[Yeah,] he replied.
Poryhedron then found a hacker's disk "key" to… waffle's and Luna's Magicant?
"Hop on, Pikachu!" said Poryhedron.
Pikachu did so.
"To waffy's Magicant!" said Poryhedron!
[To Luna's Magicant] said Pikachu.
The problem waffy must deal with is that no one is ever going to leave Luna alone, so he'll be fending off challengers endlessly. Whereas everyone is too intimidated to go near PSI322 and nobody has noticed Traceh's existence. (I said this once before, but the majority of posters aren't reading posts outside their plotline, and I suspect a lot of them are unaware Traceh is female. In any case, guruzeth has laid claim to her attention now and so no one is going to touch her with an 80 foot pole.)They flew into Poryhedron's Magicant, but all the com-portals, except the one to Pikachu's Magicant, were gone!
They saw Giovanni of Team Rocket carry the com-portals to the info stand, which now had an "R" instead of an "i".
Poryhedron used Psychic to grab the Hotel com-portal and the com-portal to the Magicant they had the key for. Giovanni didn't notice!
Suddenly, the com-portals reappeared where they should've been, and everything was back to normal!
There appears to be no point at all to the Giovanni cameo."Must of used a virus scanner," joked Poryhedron.
They decided to rest in the "Java House Bed & Breakfast Sleep Mode Hotel."
Poryhedron paid the manager for the suite, since it was on discount for being a pokémon accompanied by another pokémon.
For the record, no pokémon are permitted whatsoever at my inn.In their rooms, they played and Pikachu took a shower.
Wait. How in the hell does an electric rat take a shower without destroying the entire building and killing everyone inside?They got room service, where Pikachu got Peanut Cheese Bars and Poryhedron got Piggy Jelly with Delisause and a side of Data-bites, the Digant* delecasy.
You have to nod respectfully to him for powering right through "delicacy" and giving it his best shot.That night, while they rested, someone stole the disk. It was Poryhedron2.VBS. He was apprehended quickly, and the disk was returned.
(*Digant is the name of Poryhedron's Magicant.)
This kid has some kind of swiss cheese brain. Every paragraph bears no relation to the last, and contains some person or event that has never been heard from before and will never be heard from again. It's like the guy from Memento tripping out on acid.[This message has been edited by SuperSpeedy/ Mankey Boy (edited 05-07-2000).]

"Where am I? Magicant?" Ton said. "It doesn't look anything like Magicant in EB... I know it was upposed to be different, but not this different!"
Ton was standing on top of a Monolith. In front of him were 3 paths. One was light, one was dark, and one was grey.
I honestly don't recall if or how t0n got to Magicant. And I don't care about it nearly enough to go look it up. You don't either, right? Right. So let's move on."Hmmm... I think I'll go the light way, for now."
The light way led to Good Magicant. There Ton rested up and bought some items. He then went to the innermost point of Good Magicant. There he found...
"Dad?"
"Come here, son... I need to tell you about your Magicant."
"What about it, Dad?"
"Your Magicant is different from most, not just because of your experiences, but also because of your past as a monster. That is why Magicant is split up in to 3 equal parts, representing your different personalities. One is good, one is evil, and one is Eden."
Well, it's not even in the top 5 most unoriginal Final Fantasy VII references in the Gathering, so I won't even complain about it. I reserve my right to make scathing fun of him if he goes emo later, though."Eden?"
"Eden is what you were like before outside influence. Not surprisingly, most people's Sea of Eden are similar."
"So, what do I need to do?"
"Go into Dark Magicant and find your Dark Side. You must battle him in the Sea of Eden. But beware! There is something worse than defeat."
"Right. I'll go find him right now!"
Ton then set out to find his Dark Side. He found him in the Center of Dark Magicant.
"Well, Ton, it's about time you got here!"
"C'mon, I've gotta fight you in the Sea of Eden."
"Fine then."
Ton and Dark Ton set out for the Sea of Eden.
The notion of these two sworn enemies hiking together to the Chosen Battleground makes me chuckle.What will happen next? Only I Know...
And I pray $DEITY that will forever remain the case.
