Awesome, time to sell-out on Princess Marian XII...    Kid-drawn ponycorns are in vogue!

Fountain of Ponycorns! It'll be a license to print money!

Awesome tie action! Nice work, Domithan. It was a good topic. Looking forward to Stu's theme.

Ooh! We might end with a three-way tie! Could this possibly mean that... everyone's a winner?!? Gasp! (That would be an appropriate ending to this competition )

[Stu]

I put forth a vote for teh Stu, and an apology that my story was really more postmodern than surreal.

Dicks.

Don't beat yourself up. It was a perfectly cromulent tale of surreality, ddq.

Lots of great entries this month. For me, it was a dead heat between Stee and Stu. One coin flip later and I'm voting for Stu.

Let's all vote to vote! Come on, guys. All the cool kids are doing it!

Shockingly, the surreal writing competition has taken a turn for the surreal.  8)

Great, great! I'm glad there are so many entries.

Unless someone else wants to enter *quickly*, I say we start voting. Is everyone ready?

I'm ready to vote. So I guess that's a vote for voting!

Well done, Mad. And well done, AGS Community. It's nice to see there's still so much Oceanspirit spirit in the forums! 

I too have suddenly found my old cockles warmer than usual. Adorable game.

You really had to see my horrible trophy art, didn't you?





(Also, by my CRRRRAAAAAZZZY American time, you all have a while to finish up your entries!)

Awesome! I must now get to work!  

==================================

That Tuesday had started out as just another boring Wednesday at the office. I was lying in bed, trying to ignore the sound of the secretary squeezing the duck out in the hallway when a client crawled in through the ceiling window.

"What's a matter? Were the stairs out or something?" My hand slipped in under the sheets for the vacuum cleaner in case this dame meant trouble.

"I had no choice, she said," she said. "Adding, Of course you'll understand," she added in a way that was easy to understand.

"Yeah. Sure." A fella doesn't stay this long in the pool without knowing his multiplication tables.

She had legs that went most of the way up, and a way about her that said 'I've got a way about me' -- what's more, she was sure she had the drop on me. But I was already one up on her. Or so I thought.

Just to make sure, I made double sure to think it.

"I have a job for you, she cooed," she cooed. Sultry. Trying to work the seduction angle. This dame was a live wire.

"I know. I already took care of it." And a good thing to. If I hadn't thought to think about it, this could have gone a whole different way. Maybe even two or three ways. And there's no way out of something like that.

"She was shocked." Or so she said. I believed her.

"I figured you would be."

"She asked, May I see it?" she asked.

"Sure. Right over there." I gestured with my trunk, one hand still on the vacuum, under the sheets, under the yogurt.

"She crossed the room, licked the curtain open, and looked out onto the streets below. She was speechless." Dead silence.

"You can't see it from the streets," I explained. "That's why it was safe to keep it there."

I tried not to sound too smug about it.

"Well played. How much do I owe you? she asked, reaching for a bottle of mustard," she asked, mustard in hand.

"Just get that damn duck to be quiet and we'll call it even."

Personally, I like that we got to vote on this one. OSD has brought democracy to the SJs!

Well that was kind of idea, since OSD is an AGS forum members' baby.

And that's why we love you! <3 (assuming Ben hasn't copyrighted that by now)

Also, to be fair to Square-Peniks, OSD has many fathers (although only one true father -- Batman!)

Well, this program won't protect you from hackers.

If people hack your accounts it's time to use passwords other than 123456.

That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!

Prepare Spaceball 1 for immediate departure! ... And change the combination on my luggage! 

This is because it is not a convention for Sprite Jams to have the winners decided by voting. The methods of deciding the winners are actually decided by the hosts themselves, and in fact, most SJ rounds had the winners decided directly by the hosts, rather than by voting.

Personally, I like that we got to vote on this one. OSD has brought democracy to the SJs!

Aww are you still bitter about it?  :'(

I'm incredibly bitter! But for completely unrelated reasons!

Also, I can't play this game. Nor can I run winsetup. Both crash when I click them.  

Code: ags

Error: pack_fopen: unable to change datafile: not found. C: \Documents...\<3\music.vox

Help me, Obi Ben Kenobi! You're my only hope!

edit: changed the directory name. works fine now

Ah! So this is what you were working on instead of sprite jamming for OSD. Downloading now...

Mad. (Although the best story for the sprite would go to Snarky).

Lots of good entries this time around. 

Great

Time is just about up, let's say ...Thursday was it?

And yet... Still no trophies.  :'(

Where's the eye patch?

Obviously this is lil' Dennis. He doesn't start wearing the eye patch until he's a bit older. He wasn't born a ninja/pirate/detective, you know!

No, they do not charge for debit card services in the UK. It is free with pretty much every bank I know of.

My bank doesn't charge to use the card. But I spend more when I use it to buy things. If I go into the store with 40 dollars, then I'm certain I'll spend no more than that. But if I go in with the plastic, then I find myself walking out with 46 dollars worth of stuff (for example). Week to week that adds up.

Also, Stupot -- thanks for the tip about the hookers. Now I'll be able to save even more money!

Boy you are passionate about this subject, eh? 

About teaching the next generation to love the Atari? Of course we are! It are seriuz bizness!!
