(uhhhh, Falcon, you could just go after your sanctuary #9, but if you want to leave, we won't stop you, or at least, I won't)
I don't know what this is in response to. It seems like it's in response to Falcon24's post #467, below and ten minutes after this one; but there's no indication it was edited. That said, the edited message indication didn't always appear.
Post #468, by Falcon24
(I have a question...what is to say that more than one person cannot absorb the power of the sanctuaries?
Those of you who purchased 'ignore Liyoshi and tap some power himself' tickets, please come to the counter! Falcon24 already tried rips--- pissed off once, so this time he's going with rules lawyering. Solid move.This is supposed to be an island resembling Eagleand after all, this isn't the real Earthbound.
Tell that to Tengu Man, who decided and dictated like 200 posts ago that it is.If it was, no one would be allowed to absorb the sanctuaries, because if you recall ever going to a shining spot without Ness it says "Only Ness can absorb the power of this place."
Yep. Been there, said that, got the T-shirt, at least 100 posts ago. You are precisely correct.Therefore, this is a matter of a technicality. Can anyone clarify this?)
Why, yes, Falcon24 is now a professional lawyer. Why do you ask?[This message has been edited by Falcon24 (edited 04-23-2000).]
Sadly I wasn't around at this time; if I was, I very well might have ruled that Falcon24 is correct and everyone will have to find something else to do. Seriously, I might have, even though it would have meant the end of the Gathering and gotten PSI322 incredibly pissed off at me. I mean, it's been ten years now and I'm still mildly irritated about the whole thing. If PSI makes any ruling at all, it will of course be that, well, it doesn't make sense, but that's what's happening now so you're just going to have to run with it.
Remember that, while Falcon24 is clever, he's an IF n00b. An IF veteran knows that it's far wiser to just go ahead and do what you're questioning (take the power anyway, in Falcon's case), because by the time the admin gets around to seeing the question, you'll be deeper into the storyline and it will be more difficult to reverse. That goes quadruple for a thread moving as fast as this one.
Post #469, by loid
This is a very short post, so we won't be counting grammar mistakes. Although as you're about to see, if we did, it wouldn't hurt his average much.(Oh he's coming back, probobly)
Referring to Falcon24. Now I understand based on this and #466, Falcon24's original #467 surely was another rip---- pissed off rant and threat to leave; and after a couple of posters responded to that, 'don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, and good riddance', he changed tactics and edited the post to an appeal to PSI322.It was about midnight and while everyone was asleep, a dark figure jumped off the roof of the fourside museem on a bunnge that stopped at the correct floor, he then got a laser cutter and cut through the glass. Inside was the room with acees to the sewers
Like the vast majority of four-year-olds, when Falcon24 is throwing a tantrum, his faculties are actually completely under control; he's making a calculated move aimed at getting what he wants. It's a very smart and very effective tactic. Too bad most of us are too timid to employ it once we're past the age where tantrums are considered normal.
ACES!!!!but before going for it he droped a smoke bomb reveling dozens of invisible laser alarms. After ducking through these he entered the sewers, took off his helmet and....
"Phew! Just like in "Entrapment!" said kiyo.
Shorter, better version of this post: 'kiyo snuck into the Fourside sewers via the Museum late at night, the same way the heroes of 'Entrapment' did it.' But again, though he's bad at it right now, loid is plainly spreading his wings and trying to make a writer of himself, so cut him some slack.
Post #470, by Little Yoshi
(Falcon, I have no authority, but it sounds quite possibile for multiple beings to have Sanctuary power)
Wish I were there to just delete every post that contains no story content. Here Little Yoshi is yielding to Falcon24's formidable will, which, since his beef was with Liyoshi in the first place, effectively settles that question. That means that the story suddenly has no foundation; its foundation had been 'race to get the melodies before Falcon24 does!' Now, if it wants to stick to the same general idea, it has to be 'kill Falcon24 before he gets the melodies!', which is of course impossible. So it's eventually going to have to go a whole new direction, but I expect for now everyone will put off dealing with that problem, and continue happily collecting melodies.
As I've mentioned before, I recollect from when I was actually there that there was a big to-do about Falcon24 summoning Lavos and everyone trying to fight him, so I presume that's how this problem was eventually solved.
Post #471, by SirMontyG
After hitching a ride from Summers to Fourside (we made a call to a helecopter service, or something, you're smart, you make up something )
Haha. Once again, I find myself chuckling at Major Asshole, who seems the closest thing to the genre-aware IF poster I dreamed of earlier. He makes no bones about his Deus Ex Machinae.Anthadd, Psiosman and Sir ready the bungee set up on the Monotoli Building.
"Ready, guys?"
"Sure, why not?" Was the reply given to Sir.
The three lean over towards the museum's roof and let gravity do the rest. After about 5 seconds of freefall, the three launch a Grappeling Hook towards Fourside Museum. Pulling themselves in, they cut their cords and break through the ventilation shaft on top of the roof.
"Phew! Just like in Goldeneye!" Said Sir.
LOL @ deliciously assholish parody of loid's post."Alright, let's make our way to the sewer enterence." and after a bit of espionage, they make it to their checkpoint. "Good, now make sure not to be seen. This whole ordeal is getting real complicated, so consider anyone your enemy, right Kiyo?"
"Right, Sir!"
"Ok, now when w...wait, Kiyo? What are you doing here?"
"Probably the same thing you're trying to do. I got a message from Pikachu and a piece of the sound stone telling me to get the melodies"
"Did he tell you why?" Anthadd asked
"Nope. But I'm doing it anyway, why? Is Pikachu bad or somthing?"
No, just emo. It's a subtle difference, but there's a difference."No, Pikachu's good, I think. Falc and Poo are the evil ones, or so I've heard, but then again we really can't tell either way. Ugh!" Sir holds his head in pain "I just don't get why we're doing all this! Who are we fighting? What's the point?!?"
Who the hell cares who's supposed to be 'evil' or why? I'm with Major Asshole on this one."Whoa, calm down Sir!" kiyo said "Let's just get this melody and then we can figure out what to do with it, okay?"
"Oy..alright. You said you had a piece of the stone?"
"Right here!" Kiyo showed the three a small, humming orb
"Cool, lets see what happens when ya put the peice with the 7th melody on it with yours. We just got back from the hall and Chris and Juliana took half a piece and so did we." After so many splittings the stone that Sir had was no bigger than a golf ball, but when it came in contact with Kiyo's, it combined and became a little bigger than an average piece. Osman noticed something odd about the stone: "Look! There's a Ninth Sanctuary somewhere!"
"Man, this is getting interesting!" Said Sir
And by 'interesting' he means 'uninteresting.'[This message has been edited by SirMontyG (edited 04-23-2000).]
No, actually, the Gathering has always been, and still remains, quite fascinating. They should be able to milk quite a bit of amusement out of the Ninth Sanctuary business.
