<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Even if it closes there will be another one. With a new name. And possibly even with a new concept of how it all works. (ie forum hopping)

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 

i read that. it sounds interesting even if it may get confusing. what would you do to keep track of where the forum is at any one time? would you put a link from the old location to the new one in the Last post so people can jump to it or make people manually track it down?

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 

Let's put a link from the old location to the new one. Otherwise, it will be really hard for people to find the new one, especially if we jump to totally unrelated forums on other web sites, like forums on gardening, stocks, cooking, or whatever.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 

The best way to keep track of where the conversation is being held would be to keep a thread here on shrapnel with all the URLs listed. Just go to the shrapnel thread for the latest URL, then follow it to join up with the rest of the boarding party.

Hmmm, for what it is worth, I am not a fan of the forum hopping boarding party concept. I frequented another forum where we had something similar happen to us and even though it was only for a couple of days, and even though the intruders were polite etc I must admit that the rest of the Herb Society members felt a little violated...

The discussions in the cantina can be a little rowdy and raucous, I think we should keep them here where they can be coralled and self contained and suitably moderated by upstanding members of the SEIV community such as Geo and Atrocities

Just MHO

*Raging Deadstar walks in to the cantina after a weeks abscence and orders a rather large brewski. As he begins to drink yet another night away he hears a large clang and the loud metaql bashing gets closer*

Clang Clang, Clang Clang, Clang Clang!

*Turning around he notices GT walking towards him with FBW's and clones hanging from his arms all ready to test drive his new "titanium tinted testicles". Gt clangs off into the distance and RD, looks around*

Say why's it so quiet in here, maybe macs ticker packed in when GT popped his happysacks or the resulting soundwave knocked out the regulars navigation systems.

*Wanders over to rags*

Hmm whats this, a testicle manipulation device? what happens when its turned to a lower setting?

*Ragnarok screams now his testes are the size of peanuts!* SORRY RAGS! I didn't know it would do that!

*Runs off into the distance screaming for forgiveness whilst the fbw's all laugh at ragnarok*

Rags is still beat red with embarrassment from what RD did to him. He covers himself with his hand (I don't know how I didn't have pants on in the first place) and he runs to the restroom. He looks all over the place for his teste device to fix what happened to him. He finally finds it and low and behold the dang batteries are dead. Rags examines to room in mcgyver(sp) to find what he could use to charge up the device. He then spots the loo worshipers and he asks them for some help. They then pull out a device that looks like it holds alot of energy. Rags plugs it into his device and he returns his twig~n~berries back to their normal spot. (Well maybe a bit larger) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
And he thanks the loo worshipers and he runs out of the restroom in chase of RD.
"Get back here! I'll forgive ya once I get my revenge!"

The chase goes on for a few minutes and Rags activates a new device that made a invisible poll come up from the ground right in front of RDs path. RD is running at full speed when he whacks himself on the poll that only came up to his private region. Rags stops to catch his breath and he exclaims, "I forgive ya buddy, drinks on me."
RD is still in pain as he sits at the bar and drinks his brewski on Rags' tab.

rags, that has to be one of the shortest chases in history! I was expecting so much more, with 'New Testies'. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

RD, here is a bottles of 'Guinness Stout' for you and Rags! I really did go a bit crazy at the "Intergalactic Liquor Store".

I agree with Growltigga, we should 'contain' the chaos and madness of this thread affectionately known as "The Cantina" right here in the SE:IV forum. Of course that does not mean that we should (Or could) contain the chaos/madness within the Cantina itself.

I was thinking that we could maybe do a bit of remoddling in the Cantina, like add a nice firing range and maybe a swimming pool! I'll even donate 1,000,000 minerals towards the reno's. That should get things off to a good start!

Cheers!
