h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The Ol' Burke and Hare routine.

It was only a demo, and there were bugs to work out, but the demo ends with the words, "Now it's time to leave this town and find out what's going on!"

That's just asking for plot twists in our favour.

Great! But you're dead! I killed you! Several times, I might add. Does no-one find this slightly disturbing? Or, at the least, a major break from what could be considered a basic plot line? Shouldn't we at least pretend to have a basis in reality?

Perhaps not, as no-one has commented upon it, but I thought it might be note worthy, as it might be more fun for the plot if we, at least, started out in an assumption of basic physiology (after all, it's tough to speak after having been shot, stomped, and burned!)

I love to be here, but if you all can't agree on basic biological assumptions, then, well, what's the point? Fantasy is great, but...

Didn't I kill him?

Truth be told, I generally never show up anywhere in person; only holograms.

Oh. Well. Hmm. I'll have to think on that.

Anybody taken over anything lately? How's the game coming. Sorry I've been gone for a bit, but I was having just SOOO much fun driving around in my new tank and blowing stuff up!

I would imagine that.

*Wanders over to the mini bar and pours out a PGGB *

What's with your name?

I see dead people.

no really - they're piling up and I can't get to shed to grab the flymo and give the shrubbery a trim.

They were dead, weren't they? I did kill some of them, I thought. Well, at any rate, I hope someone's having fun in my stead. I keep beating my head against this wall, but all I get is a headache. I tried to knock off some really irritating people, but they turned out to be just hollow-grams, so... Ah well! Sometimes you kill 'em all, sometimes you don't.

...We got bored of the constant spamming of this board, and ran away to facebook. It seemed like a much better idea at the time, you see.

Really? Might I be included?

Where on facebook?

Facebook is evil, and not in a good way! They're keeping you away from here where you can do some real evil.

Facebook is evil in a creative way though.

With an abundance of things on it to procrastinate with, even if only to look at other people's photos, it is perfect for postponing academic work, resulting in a steady decline in examination results and a generation of uneducated youths with poor social skills, thus ensuring an abundant supply of both henchmen and butlers, coming from the lower and higher and of society respectively.

Wish we'd thought of facebook first...

((*ends of society respectively))

Wait, so that's it, we're done here? No more evil?

Probably not, but waiting for a revival could take a while. Go on a recruitment drive Cos.

What we need is an epidemic of some description to destabilise society...

Epidemic of contagious paranoia? That could work.
