Post #301, by loid

(YAY MINE WAS THE 300TH POST! I DESERVE A BADGE!)
Nope, sorry. 301st. You deserve a kick in the head.

From the moment SM.Net instituted forum badges early in 2000, people have been obsessed with the damned things. On one hand, I wish I'd been around to stop that from happening, but on the other, it wouldn't have worked anyway. They were so popular that preventing them from coming to the forums was just not going to happen.
meanwhile at Kiyo's tent
"You know, it just figures that after I set up the tent, fire, hamock and everything theres a hotel"
I almost admire the single-minded dedication of someone who takes an hour or two to set up a camping site and never notices a massive hotel a hundred yards away. Almost.
[Yeah it.... OH NO! YOU GOTTA HIDE ME!]

"Why? what is it?"

[POKEMON BASHERS! AND THEYVE GOT BATS!]
Goddamned bats.
"Ok, just hide in this pilowcase"

"hey" a pkmn basher showed up with a baseball bat. "You seen this yellow vermin thing?"

"Uh no. I dont know what your talking about."

"Ah well, you know your the only one sleeping in a tent and eating sausage. Everybody else is in that hotel and they're having a midnight buffet and every... Did that pilowcase just fart?"

"No, no. Uh that was you."
*facepalm*

Post #302, by Foppy King

The Foppy King was anoyed for two reasons.
1. He had been completely ignored.
This is not a good way to get people to cease ignoring you. It's a good way to get everyone to take an additional level in Ignoring Foppy King. Who the hell wants to hang around with a whiner and/or an attention whore? No one.
2. He missed the huge Super Smash Brothers Tournament
Well, it wasn't so much a tournament as a minor series of posts in which God Mode AC's tried to one-up each other, which got boring in a hurry and was quickly abandoned. If that makes you feel any better.
He wanted to have fun but was now angry.
" GWWAAARRGG!! Everyone overlooks me."
Behold, displays of anger as a device for getting attention. Parents beware: If it works when a child is 2, he will continue to assume it works when he's 15, and when he's 30, and etc.

The correct response to anyone throwing a hissy fit, at any age, is to laugh at him and then ignore him.
He then made his way to the hotel to try and get a room.



Post #303, by PSI322

Juliana had spent the bulk of her afternoon strolling along through the amusement park, going on rides, laughing with her fellow Starmen.Netters, and generally having a good time.
Without you, Chris.
Feeling more than a little tired, Juliana grabbed a soda from a concession stand in the park and started to walk back to the hotel. She wanted to take a shower and plan her evening.

About half an hour later, Juliana was standing in her bathroom, drying her hair and trying to gather her thoughts.
Taking a page from the PP/QC Fanservice Manual, I suppose.
The dance last night had been fun; she wondered if there would be another dance tonight, or if that part of the grand adventure on Eagleland Island had ended itself.
I wouldn't bet real heavily on the dance.
Staring at her burgundy dress which hung neatly in the open closet across the room, Juliana wondered if she'd show up later or just go for a walk alone on the beach.
Hahaha. To PSI322 gambit or not to PSI322 gambit? Chris has got to be on the edge of his seat here.
She had always loved to look at the stars; she'd missed doing that lately, it seemed. Maybe she'd still wear the dress, or maybe not; Juliana wasn't sure, but she had made up her mind to take a leisurely stroll along the beach later tonight, just to look out over the ocean waters and look at the beautiful stars in the night sky.
In fairness, even I'm interpreting this as an open invitation to Chris to rejoin her, seeing as how he's still on said beach. Let's hope he takes the hint.

PSI wasn't very fond of the bash-some-monster's-brains-in-then-move-to-the-next IF style--that's why she started this one as a mostly humorous party, if you'll recall--so she's still trying to distance herself from the direction the story's going and hoping someone besides Chris comes along with her.



Post #304, by PsycoPyro

I decide to hane with Pikachu, Jenny, and Mog. I had no group to hang with.
*shrug*

I suppose he could pair off with 3164, but 3164 may not go for it.

Also: hane?
"So when are we going to Twoson?" I ask them.
Jenny gave me a funny look. "You're that desparate to meet Paula."
Good luck wresting her away from Tengu, who regards her as his AC.
"Duh! I'm getting her phone number and noone ain't gonna stop me. Not even that kid Ness. I probably would win a fight against Ness."
Sure! Any AC would. I can beat him lefthanded.
"Whatever fool." Mog said with a laugh.
Technically, your missing comma changes the meaning from your intended meaning of calling PP a fool to more like implying he could beat up any fool that comes along.

Remember, kids: commas are important! The Pittsburgh Steelers employ two players named Hines Ward and William Gay, for instance. Comma placement is the difference between:

'Steelers' Ward, Gay May Not Play Vs. Browns'
and
'Steelers' Ward Gay, May Not Play Vs. Browns'.
"Let's go to Twoson." Jenny finally said as we gathered ourselves and left.




Post #305, by PSI322

Juliana grabbed her notebook and favorite pen once more and sat down at the window, suddenly feeling like writing again.
Warning: This is PSI's way of angsting out. She's more subtle about it than most, but what follows will definitely be angsty.
As she watched the waves crashing upon the shore, Juliana found her thoughts centering around home and the family and friends she'd left behind in Massachusetts.
C'mon, it's Massachusetts. It can't be that great.
Without thinking, she started writing...it always seemed that her poems came out better that way, when she just wrote and didn't let her rational side get in the way of her feelings.
See how articulate she is? It's still emo, but it took a level in Comprehensibility. 'Don't let your rational side get in the way of your feelings' is practically the Emo Creed.
She wrote faster and faster...tangles of words flew down onto the page, it seemed, and formed her true feelings and all the emotions she was feeling at the moment.
PSI, you're writing a forum post here! You could share them with us. :(
She'd never been so happy in her whole life, except for a few occasions, and yet, she was becoming homesick, little by little. An internal conflict raged within Juliana's mind, and she released it all into a poem...all as she sat there, quiet as a mouse, watching the ocean out her window.
You have to admit, that's damn beautifully written stuff right there.

The real 'internal conflict', of course, is 'If this dissolves into armed combat like it looks like it's about to, I am so outta here.'
