Vanité, quel est?

I suspect this is some kind of disassociated text thing

Maybe its a commentary on the state of the forums, what with this 'Forums not what they used to be' thing?

-Susy doesn't seem to talk all that much to the main characters, just a few words here and there, but without her and her house nobody would have been brought together. CJ and AGS?
-Joyce would be a person who invests time they don't have into making games and contributions to the community, just to be accepted, but ends up with too many projects and the pressures of real life building up.
-Gavin is the person who is secure in their knowledge and abilities, churning out art, music, games at what they see as top quality, but other people might not always think the same as them...
-Jan has talents, but is afraid to show them lest she be squashed by other people.

Or alternatively it could be an account of a real life situation. Were any of the guys wearing too much make-up last Mittens?

Before I cause offence, this post isn't intended to be serious. I don't have any particular members in mind for any roles

Maybe it's a script for the begining of a porno movie.

RickJ: I sure hope no-one will use this in a porn movie... Unless they credit me

OneDollar: That's really interesting actually. If that in fact was my purpose, what would be my motives? And most probably it would be an unconscious relation that has been built there.

SSH: You were wrong afaik.

Vertigoaddict: I'll have two pints of finest ale thank you very much

Seriously though you guys have been played around with, with no success, but yet unexpectedly with grand success. I explained it all in the forum quality rant which will be your next step then. Or if it's not, then you lose, at least in my books and statistics. See, we're all just part of a small game. Consider yourselves as some small creatures, say, mice, though with big heads and eyes on tall tentacles. Then picture a board that is shaped like an octangle in the way that you would be the size of pinball balls in relation to the walls that are on the sides that would be the pinball sides. The difference is, that there really are balls among you, your very size, and no glass on top, yet the walls are leaning a bit inward so you can't get over them.

Now imagine all of you running around this empty field looking at the occasional balls that seem to roll without any specific pattern and basically defying the laws of nature. The floor suddenly gets all convex and starts whirling in shades of green and yellow slowly changing to blue and red. Suddenly you realise a pole rising from the very middle to up high, higher than anyone can see. After a while the most observant of you will realise, that the balls never meet the pole, they just continue their journey never hitting it. These ones of you are those who in my opinion have more hope than others. Then there are those who spend all their precious time trying to climb over the wall just to see what's in the outisde. Isn't it mysterious? But that's just how it is.
