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

So, wait, you are a bunch of online H2G2 fighters who do what you want to and when you want to? Am i missing a point here or what. If you can do whatever and whenever, why even need missions? Why bother havign alliances?

As you can see im very confused.....

Anna

PS... i cant type

We can do what we want, and what we want is to do mercenary missions. And we DON'T have alliances, we can't by the nature of our organization. We attack anyone, and we attack our hirees back, so all we maintain are temporary associations. Now, if you have anything better to do than criticize new H2G2 groups and their web pages, I suggest you leave. And if you do have something better to do, I suggest you do so in the Negotiations forum below.

Calm down CV.

One point that you seem to have missed is that (as in the Cat/Dog war) we're not solely motivated to win. We also want to have good time while we're doing it. The collective creativity of a group of people is far funnier that anything else that I can think of.

Have you ever played one of those games where you go round a group of people, and each one has to make a new sentence in an on-running story? H2G2 SF is a bit like that.

But it's down to personal taste. There's plenty of researchers who think it's boring, but some of us like it.

I hope that answers your questions,

Thanx axe, perhaps I was a bit hasty, but the SHSS has also been criticized and I like my entries and contributions to the community, and I take it a bit personally.

I', sorry. I did not mean to criticize. I was just being curious. It seemed so unique and just totally new. I wish you al lluck and sorry to bother, i guess.

Oh, no problem. I just am a little touchy, that's all. We are the fourth side in the Cat-Dog war, the third being the Dragons. Maybe you should go to the doghouse A601174 and read the Cat War Diary if you are interested in our environs. Be forewarned, it is long...

>> We are the fourth side in the Cat-Dog war

This is starting to sound like the H2G2 Trilogy .

Its war between people who like cats or dogs? (moslty it looks like peope against cats) I'm glad now that I don't own a pet and prefer sea horses.

Anna

Interesting though. I am not sure this is the sort of stuff found in a typical guide for anything, but it fits well here. Anyway, you guys(and girls for those who actually care) sound really cool.

The Cat/Dog war is a kind of nebulous thing. It was started before H2G2 was part of the BBC. Cats and Cat supporters vs. Dogs and Dog supporters with Dragons and Mercenaries on the side... And it's completely voluntary and it's all for fun. The war isn't about winning, as Axe said, it's about what funny things can occur when the collective creativity of about twenty people is mixed together with almost no rules... It's fun, but can be time-consuming. Feel free to talk to any of our associates on either side if you are interested in joining. The leaders of the sides are Red Dog, So Easily Amused (aka sea), and Draco. The unoficcial mercenary leader is Njan, but we all technically are on equal terms. And, no, you don't find this particular thing in any normal guide, but the H2G2 isn't any normal guide...

>> with almost no rules

*emphasises the "almost"*

We need to obey the Laws of Continuity, just to stop things from going totally off the rails.

BTW, does anyone know of a Beginners Guide to the Cat/Dog stuff and related stuff, only I'm thinking of making one...?

Both the ACF and Cat Induction Centers explain the Continuity Laws, and there is a Cat War Diary at the Doghouse, but I've never seen it condensed. I'd like to see one, and I'd gladly link to it from my Upage. Perhaps you could call it "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Cat War"...

*thinks*

It'd probably be a good idea to explain the ** and notations as well. I'll try and find some time to do it .

Well, yes, but don't make it sound like that's universal. My other RP group, through MSN-IM, uses ::action:: to signify action and (these things) to signify instead. However, interestingly enough, the [speaking from somewhere else] notations are the same... Hmm...

I wouldn't. The title 'H2G2 Role Playing Syntax' sounds alright, if a bit technical.

*points to title above* Now you've switched from pedantic to verbose...

I suppose I have. You might want to see my Maths. howework. I wrote about a half a page of comments for two statistics questions.

And then I decided to use ReallyLongPascalAndJavaScriptTypeNames for all of the variables .

I'm not kidding you either.

You are crazy...

That's what the person sitting next to me in class said

Crazy? I was crazy once... How's that coming, BTW?

How's what coming?
