Pikupo blowed straight past The huge Electro Spector. He was in no mood to fight. He held up his sound stone.
The endless game of Follow The Leader that is the IF forum continues. You wonder why they even bother acknowledging Electro Specter's alleged existence anymore.Pikupo's Stone Absorbed the power of Lumine hall. Pikupo ran down the hole and past all the Tenda villages. He ran into the wall by Hotdog. (Like diamond dog)
Um... do you mean Carbon Dog? Or...?-Pikupo used Blazing Kupo Tackle-
-9999 damage to Hotdog-
-Hotdog used PSI Sparkly-
-Pikpo took 9999 damag-
-Pikupo used Blazing Kupo Punch-
-9999 damage to Hotdog-
Pikupo's sound stone absorbed the power of Fire Springs. Pikupo blacked out. Mog awoke to find himself in
Well, hopefully the gods will smile upon us and that will be the end of the Pikupo silliness for a while.
And that's not an editing error; he didn't finish the sentence. Typically you'd want to put an ellipsis in there, but it's not like it's any great mystery where he's going. That's right: exactly where six other ACs have already been![This message has been edited by Mog116 (edited 05-04-2000).]

The most exciting development in 500 posts--the evil supreme-dictator-for-life of the starmen.net forums has returned to the forums, and to the Gathering, after an extended absence. And he's here to stay.
I guess we need a brief introduction to guruzeth. He first turned up at earthbound.net in late summer 1999, and within a week or two was running the EarthBound Trivia/Contests section of the site, which makes sense since he was, far and away, the premier EarthBound expert in the world. No one else was close.That's all well and good, right? I mean, the premier EarthBound expert should run the trivia contest for the premier EarthBound site. Makes sense. Except that within a couple of weeks he was a moderator on the forums and an op in #earthbound. We're talking just a few weeks from total unknown to member of the inner circle power base. And just a couple weeks more and he was the administrator of the forums and the owner of #earthbound. Which is to say, he was Supreme-Dictator-For-Life of the EarthBound community.
This was, and here I am using dramatic understatement, a Bad Idea. Because guruzeth, while shrewd and smart, yes, was a relentlessly arrogant prick. He was the friend of most of the staffers, moderators and ops, and the mortal-enemy-for-life of everyone else. His presence instantly fractured everything he was around into pro-guruzeth and anti-guruzeth groups. And yes, that will happen to the Gathering in short order, too. That's good news for us, because the comedy is going to be awesome.The story has a semi-happy ending: after a few years he left starmen.net and never really returned, and the site was much better off for it. And after a few more years, he finally grew up and chilled out. And now he is annotating the Gathering and may or may not finish before his wife divorces him.
And the most tragically comical part of all this? Well... you know PSI322, right? Probably the nicest person that ever logged onto the internet? She was fiercely loyal to guruzeth. It didn't become common knowledge until around the time the Gathering ended, but the nicest person in starmen.net history and the rudest person in starmen.net history were in an e-lationship going back to late 1999. Now brace yourselves for a shock, kids: it didn't work out. Brace yourselves for an even bigger shock: it didn't work out because guruzeth, in the end, was an unspeakable jackass to her.
Anyway, bear in mind as you read the Gathering that it's not just your mind playing tricks on you; there was something going on between those two.And while I'm here, since I'm sure PSI322 will read this sometime before Al Gore takes down the internet, I will leave a personal note: I'm sorry.
OK, back to viciously making fun of 12-year-olds that didn't know any better. And Chris.guruzeth wandered into the ruins of a building where he thought the SM.Net Gathering, for which he was a month late, was being held.
Not quite a month, actually. Just short of four weeks."Hello? Where is everyone?" He heard only the echo of his own voice.
"Hmm, this is weird..." He began to look around, wandering outdoors towards the beach in Fiveville, since he was slightly off-track as to where he thought he was going.
Suddenly, something caught his eye. Did something move..?
Yeah, not much of a post, but you have to start somewhere. Also note that guruzeth is doing the same thing a lot of people did when they first showed up: immediately toss in a line to see who might be interested in accompanying him. He did it a lot more skillfully than most of the others, granted--note the rarely seen correct way to leave a post open-ended for someone else to easily follow up on--but still, I declare he sucks at life if his next post isn't (a) within a day and (b) doing something, if no one joins him. Which is unlikely because, asshole though guruzeth may be, he is the power at starmen.net, and everyone likes power.

Smoke slowly lifts over the scene, as we see Sir run from the remains of a tatered BMW Z8. "Sonofa...!!" Sir leaps into the air just in front of the impending explosion. "never press the red button...never press the red button..." Sir layed on the sand, muttering some sound advice for himself, useful only 5 minutes in the past, of course.
Men In Black reference, presumably."Man, driving a cool car isn't worth it when the guy tailing you leaves the picture. Where'd you run to, Skittleboy? Ahh, anyways, I've run myself into a desert and I've gotta get out. Heh, way to blow up your only transportation, Scruffy." (as you can tell, Sir talks to himself if no one else is around)
(that's cool with us, it's better than what Liyoshi does when no one else is around)"Well, civilization or burst.." Sir got up, slung his backpack over his sholder, walked to the side of the road and promptly stuck out his thumb. "hope someone comes my way. For an island, this looks like a pretty long walk..."
Also a pretty good way to leave a post open-ended and see who turns up. I have little doubt that Major Asshole will have no problem forging on alone if no one joins him shortly.

[ok, i havent exactly been paying too much attention to whats been happening, so forgive me. gah, i think i have to go catch up with somoeone i can understand the storyline too. and ihope i dont ruin it either..also, love that twist dhsu, although i cant imagine how that will work itself in.]
Hey, baby-eater boy is back! But he hasn't read enough to realize dhsu's idiotic "twist" got shot down like a Mexican drug plane in Chinese airspace.praying for tim's safety had reawakened the sane part of pogopunk, and a battle erupted inside his brain. the insane and sane had begun a raging battle inside his head, and it wasnt pretty.
Aww. Here I was thinking his prayer consisted solely of "Baby-eater baby-eater baby-eater baby-eater...""come on pogo, we have to go help our friends," said tsuramisea, urging him to go on.
"grr, baby-EAtEr, no, not, eater..out, please" pogopunk struggled to regain control.
"pogopunk!" tsuramisea said, becoming more concerned. "we need to get going! will you be okay?"
Remember, this is the dude who ditched Luna. Now look where he is.the normal part of pogopunk awakened, and it managed to get out a single phrase before the struggle began again, "please, tsurami, you..must..agh, go on, help...fr..i..e.nds..dont worry about me..do it!"
Maybe he's having second thoughts and thinking about going back Luna's way?bewildered, tsuramisea stared at pogopunk, before regretfully turning around, heading off, "well, ok, take care of yourself..i'll come check on you later," he said, tossing a bottle of water to pogo's crumpled figure.
after tsuramisea had left, pogopunk stood on the beach, looking tranfixed. inside his dual personalities faced off in a horrific clash. you will not win. madness shall rule all. it is decreed already. give up now, or suffer said the insane. never! i will not let chaos rule the world, or myself.
There really needs to be a "BABY-EATER!" or two thrown in here somewhere. C'mon, pogo, where's your funny genes?go away now, or be severly punished said the normal section. the two went back and forth on this, and they began to fight. no one appeared to gain the upper hand, and pogo's physical body became weak and defeated. finally, with its last ounce of strength, the saneness sent out a final blow that destroyed the insane, but also destroyed itself almost. this final attack caused pogopunk to collapse, on the beach front, the snowy tv screen eerily crackling. his mind lay dormant, yet it wasnt, and he lay there, zombified, his eyes glazed over staring into the calm clouds.
It's going to be awesome if guruzeth stumbles over him there.
...And then screams "BABY-EATER!" at him and walks on.[This message has been edited by pogopunk (edited 05-04-2000).]

It clicked.
"Of course!" Tim said out loud.
"Fool-!"
"Is that your favorite phrase, or something?"
"FOOL!" Mani mani said, catching Tim off guard and delivering a mortal blow to the face.
"This battle is over!" Mani Mani bellowed
"I declare the winner is..."The Apple of Enlightment started.
Tim drank some more water, while his HP fell below 200.
Tim recovered 41 PP!
"..."
The words fell out of his mouth just before death.
"...Life...Up..Gam...ma..."Tim uttered his seemingly final sentence. Tim then collapsed.
"All too*wheeze* easy!" Mani Mani sneered.
Suddenly, LifeUp Gamma kicked in. Tim leapt to his feet, and prepared to attack.
"Remember? You cannot hurt me! All sanctuary attacks are nulified, and I have a Power Shield! Mwa ha ha!
Tim had completley remembered. Tim rose into the air.
"PSI Yoshi Alpha!!" Tim shouted. (his special)
"OWWWW!" Mani Mani screamed in pain.
"Alright. Before thine time shalt cometh, I shalt reveal mine true self to you." Mani Mani said, darkly.
Well, he's at least sticking in flavor to Chrono Trigger, in which Frog butchers King James English. If he wants to go King James, that should read "Before thy time cometh, I shall reveal my true self to thee." "Mine" in the place of "my" (or "thine"/"thy") only happens when the next word leads with a vowel.Back at the Lavos sene, Lavos suddenly disappeared, and the Mani Mani Statue appeared there.
In the Cafe Basement, Lavos appaered. They returned to their original positions, and The Apple of Enlightment changed to Magus's Theme music.
Pissing people off is always an easy way to get attention."I have the power of millions of worlds, and expierence of thousands of beings. Take this basement from me, if you dare,"
A black swirl enveloped the area.
With only one attack, and fighting a being that was somehow connected to Lavos, this didn't look good for Tim.
The Randite Statue attacked!
Randites are something Tengu Man was always going on and on about. I'm sure we'll hear a lot more about them soon.
