The Hacker's Head Pub

Rickton throws Borfors' corpse into a meat grinder and sets out a plate of free hamburgers on the bar.

LouisB3 enters and ignores the apparent chaos, as well as the suspicious hamburgers.

(OOC: I'm not quite getting the reasons for third person, but I'll not cause trouble)

LouisB3 then sets up his laptop, gasps in saddened horror at the trashed stock of Amnesty International, (which has somehow gone public since 2004), and quietly begins rebuilding the AI servers after ordering a mix of Coke, Pepsi, alcohol, and extra caffeine (which he declares to be his usual.)

He glances over at LabRat's setup, and amused, notes silently to himself that Gateways are supposed to be accessed remotely using a personal computer, as LouisB3 has done with his double-monitor laptop, connected to his 10000 Ghz 800 Gqd Gateway.

Wow, this turned out to be more lame then I imagined. Should I do a mercy kill or let this continue?

That's more than a little mean. (And I thought so highly of you...) There's definitely an overabundance of .dats though.

You have to admit, as far as bar topics go, this one is pretty pathetic. It goes through long periods of no posts, only a few people are involved, all of the posts are extremely short, etc. The longest posts are just copied from the game and repeated. The most significant posts are about drinks, not Uplink or hacking. As you said, there's a lot of repetition.

The Nova bars are at least somewhat Nova-related, and people put effort into them. The effort is clearly not here, and I only count 16 posts at the most that could be considered Uplink related so far, including the multiple Revelation messages. That's what, 50 unrelated posts?

Sorry if you took offense. I'm just pointing out that, by bar standards, this one is fairly pathetic. I'll leave this alone (for now) if you all want. I'm just giving you the option of ending it while you're only slightly behind. I will be watching this closer though, and if it isn't more Uplink-related, I'll either try to find a place to move it to or close it down completely. This is not a spam forum. This is an Uplink forum.

"When you burn your bridges, just make sure they aren't in front of you." -mrxak

16 seems a little low. I'll go back and count when I'm not as tired.

The low population of the board is obviously a problem, but it could be the real source of the mediocrity of this bar. Almost no one posts, so you get people trying to stir things up, and mostly failing. (Plus you have people who think they can just come in and kill someone because it's a low population board... or something. The thinking behind this sort of action is unfathomable (by me at least)).

I remembered that...I almost died.

And the EVnova bar isn't pathetic? It's just useless postings about people killing eachother....

EV Nova bars are also pathetic, but at least people (generally) put some effort into them.

"When you burn your bridges, just make sure they aren't in front of you." -mrxak

The Bruse manifests himself because of the recent activity of the board. He sits down and hopes that stuff starts happening.

------------------
I'm going to kill you with a blunt spoon.

No one notices as a shadow slips into the bar and glides along the ceiling. Suddenly, Dark strike drops down from the ceiling,startling everyone, and quitely orders a lemonade w/ whiskey. Seeing that AV isn't coming he climbs over the bar, gets a lemowhisk, and sits back down in his seat. He methodically dumps in ketchup, vinegar, lemon juice, and a drop of chocolate, looks at it distainfully, but stirs it around. He slowly lifts it up to his mouth, but then dumps it on the counter, grinning as it burns through,looking around for the first time to see if anyone noticed his destruction. And again, for the first time, he notices that there is almost nobody here, and those that are around are slumbering. He pulls out his laptop from his cloak and starts to make a much larger sequel to Uplink. He glances around from time to time to see if any one else awakens or enters.

( This is your cue to enter guys)

Northie enters, quickly picks the darkest corner and sits down. Evidentally Federal agents were on his tail. He opens up his laptop and hacks the Global Database. Surly they cannot arrest someone who no-longer exists....

nfreader notes that he is a newbie, but wil remain mature and continues to sit in the corner, staring at the various patrons.

EDIT: On second thought, he buys a creme soda.

Rickton points out that nfreader isn't as much a newbie as some are, then looks at the registration dates, rethinks this, becomes incredibly confused and falls down.
