This topic, active! Entropy's more active than this topic. I come here for the quiet moments, gazing out through the muti-plate glass window across the asteroid sea, sipping a version 7.2 GreenyBlueŽŠ The drink that evolves all by itself! and pondering the mysteries of the universe, like what happens to your time when you reach the speed of light for example, or how so many of time's edies wash over this bar, and nobody here seems to notice that it can take up to a week for the bartender to walk a couple of metres, get a drink and bring it over to you. The time dilation in here is sideways. See that corner over there? It's in a different time line altogether...
I expect that its all to do with the effect of IX 5709, the nearby black hole. Didn't you know, the bar asteroid fell-will fall-may or may not fall into it, sometime. It is all relative you know...
------------------ Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...
Well, if it does the patron's'll be treated to quite a view. My, that would be interesting.

"I've been inside black holes before, it's nothing special" comments Darkk 0. "You're forgetting something." says Alacina. "I haven't, and I don't want to." Darkk 1 replies. "Ah, I forgot that most people don't have built-in gravity stabalizers." Darkk 0 realizes. "I can find a tractor tug with enough power somewhere if we start to fall in." he continues.

Not to mention the fact that there always seem to be four or five huge battlefleets hovering near the station at any given time. One of them'd get us out.
"so why is the bar near the balck hole in the first place??"
garbage disposal
------------------ Time is the best teacher, yet it kills all of it's students.
Oh, hi Slug! Pull up a seat.
Indeed, garbage disposal was the primary reason. Very useful things these black holes. But also it powers the Bar asteroid's temporal field, which creates some of the time shifts we experience in here. Keeps the customers amused. Do bear in mind too that it is most likely that it will be several billion years before the bar does disolve into the black hole, relatively speaking. Of course if you invoke probability theory there is a very small chance that the bar could dissappear at any moment into the black hole, especially with all the time eddies wafting around in here, not to mention hte cool gadgets... But of course that is extremely unlikely. Anic sips another GreenyBlueŽŠ and glances over in the direction of the veeeeerrrrryyyyy ssssllllllooooowwwww poker game going on in the corner. Somewhen downtime that game is proceeding at an apparently normal pace, though it appears temporally static from our perspective. All caused by our proximity to IX 5709.
You're looking a little frazzled around the edges Slug, care for a Caffeinepak Pick-me-up? They're available behind the bar now.

Nah, a pan-galactic gargleblaster will do. Caffeine doesn't react well with the Salrilian Metabolism (fart)
Mike walks into the bar only to find that he has just walked in the bar twice without leaving. Mike becomes so confused and perplexed at this that he starts shaking violently untill he explodes leaving random body parts and organs spewn about the bar.
Mike walks into the bar but this time he sits down and orders an Excessivly Flavored Vanilla Coak?ŽŠ. "Ah, never liked the stuff." He drops the soda can and walks over to where the band is playing, picks up a guitar and starts playing some backround music as entertainment for the customers.
Wow, Sure has been a long time since I've posted. Feels good to be back after all those stupid finals and tests and crap. Bar #5, eh. I wonder if Cicon knew what he was starting with the Officers Club Bar. Thousands of posts, Sheesh...

Excuse me...1733 posts (as of now).
We all remember the post I made in Bar #4 about the number of posts in all the bars (or not.) Now what if the mods had split the First bar in to two hundred posts we would have like...(quick division and addition...) 10 topics. Imagine that-Officers Club Bar #10. Hmmm...
(Actually, the game ended.) Darkk 0 takes Mag's offer of another poker game. Darkk rips off his sleaves, eats them, then sits down. "What was that for?" "Oh, I do stage magic as a hobby. I always do that when I'm about to play poker, because people always think I cheat." "Because you do!" shouts Alacina, in an amused voice. "Bah" says Mag, "I won't let him out-cheat me". They draw. "Seven space parrots!" Mag announces. "8 Mag Steelglass." Darkk announces. Mag blinks. "We were supposed to draw 5, and there aren't any cards with me on them in the deck!"
Darkk 0 puts his hand down. 8 cards, all of which feature Mag Steelglass in a variety of ridiculous art.
Alacina snickers. "He does that every time. We're kicked out of every casino within 2 games."
Ah, time dialation...
You're not a thirty ton megga elephant in mortal (admitedly be it Salrillian) disguise by any chance Slug? PGGBs can have a seriously corosive effect on the circulatory system of norms...
Phew! I'm still here, barely. I am typing to you all from work right now, a little lull in the day. I am sitting here, notepad on my left, phone on my right, eeeevvvilll PC laptop right in front of me and one disturbed VBA Macro that I cannot get answers for... Ahhh... life. Ever since I started my job, about 3 weeks ago, I have been very busy. It keeps me all day until 5:00 and then I come home and bomb out. I usually sleep from about 6:00 to 8:00, have dinner, take a shower then play StarCraft until about 11:30. Then it is back to bed and time to start it all over. I earn 1400 dollars for 8 weeks of this madness (definetly not good compentsation) but I also get my foot in on a program that will pay for my college and give me a government job, so, give and take.
Anyway, I have no idea what anyone has been talking about, my connection is so fast I didn't have to wait and read anything really. So, DP for all, on me!

I like having my brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped 'round a large gold brick.
I'm still on the road, now posting from a hotel in Salt Lake City. That's why I haven't posted in a while. Whoo, boy.
*Cicion unfreezes from his temporally static position and finds that everyone around him has moved and shifted instantaneously. Damn time shifts.
He also finds that the temporal stasis field only extended to his actual body, and so the drink he started pouring five days ago now fills the glass, covers most of the bar and is about an inch deep over almost the entire floor.* Uhhh, CleanDroid? CleanDroid snaps to attention and starts cleaning up the mess. Cicion starts to work again behind the bar.
Whew. Anyone for another round?
9024 walks up to some semingly still people sitting at the bar, he tapps one on the sholder but his finger gets stuck in a area of air next to him. half an hour later he manages to pull it out..... pokes guy with stick stick gets stuck, throws empty cans at guy cans stick in the air.......... (this is fun) throws chair at guy notices hes gone too far and quickly wanders to other side of the bar and nervosly drinks from his now empty hipflask.
Overrider sits in a very dark corner watching he happenings of the bar. As he takes a sip of his drink he keels over and dies for no aparent reason what so ever

A temporal rift opens 5 minutes ago, sucks OV in and then spills him out next to his body.
The rift knocks OV's drink over and some falls into his mouth. OV comes back to life for no apparent reason what so ever
