(It was a SAM attachment. You add a radar, load in a missile and boom )
He's referring to something someone said less than five posts ago, and I'm writing this post right on the heels of the last one, and even I don't care.After Sir fired the bazooka at Supreme Starman, the Starman took a second to regain his composure, then dodged the next shell that came his way. He then fired an EMP blast, which then disabled Sir's bazooka!
Um... somebody watched The Matrix without really grasping anything that was going on. It would be pretty awesome for Team Major Asshole if the "Supreme Starman" fired an EMP, since that would immediately disable the "Supreme Starman," which is, after all, a machine."Aw, Crap!" Yelled Sir.
Juliana sneaked up behind the Starman and gave him a SMAAAASH hit!
How nice of her. Let's hope the Starman doesn't turn around and just use it on her, huh?Supreme Starman flew against the wall! The Foppy King ran towards him and dealt the Starman a fearsome kick in the head.
Come to think of it, there's no evidence that attacking a Starman's head is a good idea. They're humanoid, but they're robots. If one were designing a robot to fight humans, it would actually be clever to put the CPU and/or other vital systems somewhere like the left side of the abdomen, or the right thigh, or somewhere else nobody's going to think to aim, and make the head pointless and empty.Then Tim rushed over, took out the Masamune and used a move called Hydro Slam on the Supreme Starman.
Tim is not going to like that. Tim attacks only with Leap Slash. "Hydro Slam" is not going to impress the ladies nearly as much.The Starman keeled over, and it looked as if he were about to fall over... And released a huge pulse of energy! The energy blast knocked over Tim, Juliana, Sir, and the Foppy King... But Osman was untouched. His Scimitar had absorbed the energy!
Man, you're not going to believe this, but a baddie attacked a group and it injured everybody in the group... except the person writing this post. Shock! Awe!It was now glowing with an unearthly light. Suddenly, an apparition appeared in the air, holding a katana. It slashed at the Starman, drawing his attention away from PSIOsman. It was Ness the Skittleboy! HE yelled, "Chris! Get off the table!" PSIOsman leaped into the air... He slashed the Starman as he came down. The Starman split in half, then disintegrated! With that, the Scimitar returned to normal.
"Yes! We beat him!" Yelled NSB.
You know, for the painfully poor battle scripting, PSIOsman was at least working a pretty nifty idea here: building into the post that came before him, and making the chronology line up. That's a long way beyond the effort most any other poster is taking.However, the wall of the room started to buckle inward. PSIOsman sheathed his Scimitar, and ran to the other side. The whole group was hit by a wave of dizziness, and the next thing they knew, they were staring out of green glass tubes...
And he continues trying to piece together the writings of other posters, which will make it very difficult for Chris or PSI322 to object to it if/when they return. (Of course, Chris and PSI322 are talented writers, which means they can write their way out of an undesirable situation instead of trying to bitch their way out.)PSIOsman glanced to his sides, and saw all the people in other tubes. He concentrated hard, sending out a telepathic message...
(I'm a bit confused. Can someone give me an update here?)
I know, it's both crazy and disappointing, but no... you actually seem to understand perfectly what's going on thus far.[This message has been edited by PSIOsman (edited 04-23-2000).]

Far away in Summers....
A young surfer in Summers, Alan, heard PSIOman's call. "What was that? Who are you?"
Wow. It's been a long time since we've introduced a new Gathering poster. Sadly, I remember nothing about SaturnAl, so I can tell you nothing entertaining.Alan didn't know anything about PSI, including about him having it, or how to use it.
If it's any consolation, Alan, Chris has been trying to figure out the same thing for hundreds of posts now.PSIOman, in the test tube, told Alan the story and how to use PSI. "Okay, here it goes..."
Alan instantly appeared next to the test tubes, equipped with only a silver bracelet, silver necklace (chain), and his surfboard.
You get no points for guessing that the first thing he'd do with his PSI is instantly appear where the action is. The jokes on you, Al, old chap: Lots of people have already been doing that without PSI. You wasted a spell slot!He saw PSIOman and co. in the tubes, and broke open the tubes with his board. "Thank you, thank you!" PSIOman said. He/she (whoever) taught Alan the basic PSI moves, and his special move, PSI Surf. Alan, PSIOman, and co. moved on...
Makes perfect sense to me that the aliens would construct prison-tubes that are easily breakable by a (presumably fiberglass) surfboard wielded by a 12-year-old. I don't know why you are having such trouble grasping it.

(Too late Mog.
Uh-oh. You woke it up!You don't have to scream, plus, just because you PLANNED that out doesn't mean anyone has to abide to it. If they want, they can make up their own idea. That's why it's interactive fiction.
That Tengu Man of all people is lecturing someone about what "interactive" means is meta-comedy on the highest plane. Here, watch this:And I already came up with the ideafor 9th sanct, so better luck next time. I guess I should have told you this earlier. You can join my group if you wish, though.)
Did you catch that?Darth and his group had just recently scaled a large mountain near Dalaam. They were greeted by the site of a large space ship.
First, Tengu Man sternly informs Mog116 that he can't monopolize a future story arc. Then, in the same breath, Tengu Man--even with a dash of taunting for flavor--informs Mog116, and anybody else that's reading, that you can't mess with this future story arc because it's MINE. And then he invited Mog116 to become his minion.
Tengu was a magnificent bastard.
"Is this where melody is coming from?" asked Paula.
Diamond Dog sniffed around... "I'm not sure... I think it's located somewhere around the ship, but this one can't be destroyed, so anyone and everyone that matches can claim the powers of this spot."
They proceeded around the back of the ship, and found a small door leading inside...
Not much here except Tengu laying down a few more railroad tracks. Oh, how I wish someone would skip along right behind this post and take it somewhere completely different, and quote Tengu's own post back to him when he gets pissed off.

Hey Anthadd! We were just winning!
I was expecting so much more from Major Asshole than an ordinary one sentence gripe.
For some reason, Thread 2 Page 1 has only 39 posts on it instead of the normal 40. I presumed I'd made an error and missed a post somewhere, but after a half-hour of painstaking searching, I have concluded that I did not. I don't know why a post is missing, but I know it's going to throw off my organization. So my next post on this blog will pick up with Thread 2 Page 2 and will annotate six posts.
