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

*Assumes this means he is now in the club*

Yay! Hurray!

This aught to be interesting

So, who is actually in the ranks and what can they do? What are our strengths? What is the plan of action against the Super Villains? Or do we need to find out what their plan is and find a way to foil it just as the countdown is at 00.01, after which we go on to save their lives and convert them to nice people who help little old ladies with their shopping?

Hey, it's just a suggestion.

Sorry Off saving the world and forgot the time.
Right we need to organise ourselves.

We also need people to be feeding in more reports of sightings of villains.

The rules of engagement:

You need to put three separate fishes on a villain's site before they can notice. They can only be released by a winking smiley from their own side. OK.

E.g. if evil Giraffe were still around one of us would go to his forum and simply type > < > (but without the spaces) to achieve .

Then another person has to do the same AND if a third person (not either of the first two people) _can_ get the third fish on Evil Giraffe is disabled until he is freed by a winking smiley ; - ) (without spaces) from a villain and cannot add to his own forum.

If he notices the start of the fish attack he can put in a himself before the second or third fish and the counting starts again.

Are you with me?

Name the villains and begin the attack.

Oh and tell them the rules so that they can play properly.

The first wave of villains are still being initiated. It's a ghastly process that I loathe to describe. Anyway, I think that there may or may not already be sometrouble occuring the STUMPED is involved in.

BTW, my super powers are nothing special-I can do any magic that has been used in a Zork game, a very little that hasn't, and I also invent stuff. For instance, the snow cannon (with help from GL). Other than that, I can only do physical combat with no real edges. But with my magic . . .

*Draws a sword and casts an Izyuk spell. He flies through the air, waving the sword as if insane*

Okay, who wants to show off next?

Okay, I'll take the stage...

I have the power to recite obscure song lyrics to confuse my opponents. I can also fly (natch) and I'm really hard and stuff. Oh, and I have the power to shout really loudly and make people's ears hurt for a while.

*Flys round a little too quickly and shouts out the words to Bob Marley's "Kinky Reggae" at the top of his lungs*

Oh, yeah? Watch this.

*GL transforms into a wolf, lets out a howl, playfully nips the heels of Affy, then transforms back. Smiles proudly.*

How's that?

Ho there, superheros! I wish to join the august ranks of crime fighters, sworn to defend H2G2 from the degredations of the evil supervillans!

Would you mind awfully if I joined? Sadly, an effective grasp of the human emotion known as humour escapes me.
I also find it hard to tell whether pants go on the inside or the outside.

Where there is a child to be rescued, I'll be there. Wherever a cute little puppy is to be saved, I'll be there. Whenever they're in need of an hiddeously overblown yet strangley compelling concluding speech, I'll be there.

I think it's still a "Show Up To Join" operation. I don't think we even have guidelines, really. So I don't see why not.

Talking about guidelines, seeing as we're non-democratic, does this mean there is no leader or do we have a self appointed dictator? And if we do have a leader, who is it. I only ask. (The link in the thought process between guideline and leaders is that the leader can make guidelines. Oh they can call them rules if they really want to...)

Sorry, do continue to show off your powers + stuff. I just thought I should ask.

We could have an election, with a campain and everything. Who wants to run for leader?

Ooh, ooh, me, me, me!

No, actually. I think it should be....erm.....YOU! *Points at vestboy*

How many Superheros are there in the clan/guild/firm?
Come to that, how many villains are there?
Do we need costumes? If so, can i use my carnage pants?
Incidentally, I vote for Vestboy.

Whenever they need a dangerously pointless epitaph, etc

SO far, I actually think that the super heroes outnumber the super villains by one or two. Maybe three.

Before casting a vote, I just think that a dictatorship of super heroes kind of limits us to how we could act. But, I gather I'm outvoted for the traditional democratic league of justice defenders, anyway, so . . .

Gimme time to think about my vote . . .

*Gently herds superheroes into comfortable clubhouse with pinball machine in the corner and never ending supply of soft drinks and snacks*
While you think about leadership and stuff why don't we organise ourselves.

If you go to my journalyou can see that all I am suggesting is that we each have a forum on our own home pages for dealing with superhero battles and such so that we don't destroy decent forums being run by decent people.

What about your feedback on the 3 fishes idea?

Can someone negotiate with the evil side to see if they are willing to enter into combat?

Has anyone seen my snorkel?

I'll negotiate, but the villains are in the midst of their terrible innitiation. As for the idea, I like it. How are the villains supposed to neutralize us?

I like the idea too

I thought the idea of being a superhero is that, no matter what kind of scrapes you get yourself into, the villains never win. Right?

And how about a Superheroes homepage. STUMPED have got one, so it's only right that we should as well...

Its a good plan. (The fish and the web page)

Did anyone ever see the superheros and supervillans marvel top trumps cards? I'll tell you something, if you combined the two decks, the villans absolutely mothered the heros, big willy style. Even the incredible hulk(the best) one only 1 in every 3.
I'm telling you, we'll be creamed.




Lets get going

Well, we all secretly knew that most of the heroes were big girl's blouses. I mean, think about it, didn't we all always secretly want the Joker to succeed in drowning Batman in a bucket of acid (or whatever)?

Think about it. About the only hero who has ever been cooler than his main villain is Spiderman, and that's only because he had a nifty suit.

*hopes that no-one notices that he actually isn't using reverse psychology here*

Yeah, they may be cooler than us, but we always win.

And I agree about the home page. I think the leader, whoever we elect, should host it.
