Title: Return of the BANished!!
Post by: CaptainD on Wed 13/07/2016 20:22:56
So, it seems that Snarky meant what he said in the Ban Thread (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=53724.0).

It's been a strange 24 hours... I have survived, but it has been a bitter tale of grief and woe.  Never again.

I managed to get a fair but of reading done. But that might also be due to the fact that I forgot to take my phone out with me yesterday.

It was a long wait just to check you would keep your word and dish out the bans! :-D

Well that's what you all get for pressing the big red banning button.
Snarky did warn you all. (laugh)

Personally though, when I first saw that thread I thought it was one of those forum games where you come up with ridiculous reasons for why the previous poster should be banned.

I panicked a bit this morning as my ban revocation didn't kick in until about three minutes after the time it was supposed to.
At least that's what I thought. It might have been a cache/cookie thing though because eventually it started after I closed Safari and started it again.

But was it a learning exercise for us, or a chance for Snarky to release his inner megalomaniac?

Or both?

After being banned, strange things began. As I walked down the street, I could feel someone watching me, but when I turned… no one. At night I could not sleep, upon hearing a faint humming sound, I went to the window. The moon was red like blood.

Arriving at work I would greet my co-workers, but they would not acknowledge me. Not simply being ignorant, it was as if they could not hear my voice. When looking into a reflective surface, my visage was distorted.

I tried to email Snarky, to beg him to reverse the ban, but when I switched on my laptop, rather than booting up Windows 8.1, it was Windows Vista! I ran away screaming as my ears and nose bled profusely...

I was toying with forces I did not comprehend. Opening that gate to the netherworld at a whim, never asking whether I would be able to close it, should something try to pass through...

But Windows Vista is better than Windows 8!
Although only by a smidgen. (laugh)

I'll admit after a couple of service packs, Vista is pretty good. ;)

This is the Halfway House Thread, right?  I need to reintegrate with society by rooming with a bunch of hardened criminals that have no clue how to behave on the outside.  (roll)  I'm just back from my second bit in the joint, and things got a little hairy when Ponch dropped the soap.  Do you guys do counselling or anything like that?

We had a counselor, but he was the one who saw Ponch drop the soap. So I don't think you want to see him.

Jeez Ponch, you really should consider manscaping the crack just a bit. Not good. It does muffle the farts a bit though, so that's a benefit.

Manscaping is for non-manly men. :cool:

*rocks back & forth on the floor, wimpering softly*


The Ring betrayed me!  The Ring... LIED! :cry:


Oh, the horror I have seen, in that rat-infested torture chamber, Snarky calls jail. 
I have seen things I can never un-see.  :shocked:

Snarky has caught himself in his own trap, not realising that only he ON THE OUTSIDE is able to release people.  So with him on the INSIDE... we won't be seeing him again.  Trapped in a device of his own making... twisted justice in that.

Learn your lessons, people.  POWER CORRUPTS and POWER TO BAN results in PERMANENT BANISHMENT.

Wait, what's this?  The ban thread has returned!  A sinister bank of clouds rolls in across the sunny sky.  Bird song ceases!  Street dancing trails off awkwardly!  Cue evil music!  The tyrant has returned! 8-0
