With policies like that, we should put ourselves up for election! Vote Thing!

I don't know ... all that personal abuse might cause a scandal ...

Sorry, I just like that smiley so much ... it has such an impact, don't you think? 
I accidentally type every time I try to use it ...

Am I too late to join in the group 
? My local servers been on the twitch again 
and whatd'ja know this is the first time it's successfully dialed through. 
Hi Suz, welcome to our little Cabal (little? Did I say little?
we seem to be gaining new members daily! - I've got ideas for the manifesto but I try and add those when I'm back at at Uni with a *pleaseGod* stable internet connection also I haven't had the oppourtunity to update the roster recently - I'm going to have to go digging to extricate all the newer members post-Bob... (How's that for a schism? B.B and P.B Thingites. 
)
I keep wondering why I want to type 
instead of 
my success rate seems largely to depend upon just how close to reality I am, as my free-roaming consciousness swings through. 
And incidentally, Re: "a very interesting campaign": not that I am bias or anything and I don't want to be thought of as forthright but I happen to agree with you

Long time, no see. Yes, I am nothing if not a procrastinator at heart - I've had esays to write which I've been excelling at not starting and my internet connection is on the fritz. Other than that I've gotten as far as Wibble (Wednesday) on the actual document itself. I keep trying to have a go at Thing, but being the centre piece of our entire campaign it needs to be done *right* and I've not really got down to it yet. on the bonus side - the No,no,no forum, that YOU started just passed 1200 posts! So we have been busy - no honest..we have.

I'm so happy you're back, oh esteemed Warlord!
*executes smart salute, looks at dead salute*
I keep doing that ... 
We're all still standing around in the crumbled remains of the Strand Underpass ... you might wanna delegate a little authority before you wander off next time ...

Yes, authorite left behind would be a thing commonly known as "good".
I guess you're right... Mostly Harmless it is!

Welcome!
If Clive hangs around for a while he might deign to grant you a formal commission in the campaign. Meanwhile, pop over to the Uniform thread on The Gook's page for your traditional spork sidearm, or drop into the 'No No No' thread next door... it's only 1200 posts long, so it shouldn't take too long to catch up

Mmm hmm hmm... ::: tapping fingers together ::: We'd be more than happy for you to join St. Redfish. Start coming up with titles for yourself, so that our Warlord Clive can make that official, then you can pop over to my page on the Uniform thread to get your Titanium Spork(a traditional thingite sidearm), armor, and main weapon.

Welcome St RedFish! 
Muse of Evil Doings ... heh heh, see the Grand Visier, you two could start some major scheming! 
Ooo, will it be too confusing having a PF and an RF? Better have another 
and mull that one over...
