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

12:15 EST, 11:15 AM CDT and Then 9:15 PST, No problem. BTW: It's no longer really called Greenwich Mean Time, It's Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) now. The clock standard is in Paris.

Now as to this curse, I'm assuming it's a spoken curse so that a gag would remedy the problem? Then of course bound so there's no way to remove said gag.

If you go to Joanna's home page, one of the entries she wrote is the curse. And yes, she would have to say something like: I curse you, Grey.

*Fondly remembers the days before CLI was formed when his inventions were based entirely in Joanna's stall* Ah, those were the days. I still remember being threatened nearly every day by the curse. Then I wisely decided to start making the Crater the area for the inventions. Okay, so I got here two hours early. The URL for the current Donut Stall is http://www.h2g2.com/F26840?thread=59861 Everyone sign in before we go in...two hours? Yeah, that's right. I think. I hope. Anyway, just sign in. Oh, and just so you know: the good me is at Joanna's, armed with a plasma blaster. Be careful.

Okay, today's the day. I suggest we all check in here before we go on the mission - say, on the hour. Once we are all here, at the appointed time, I will post a "here I go" message. You guys will have to keep refreshing this forum to see that message. As soon as you see it, go the doughnut forum (please post it here, Affy). I should have already posted (I will wait a bit before posting, but not much). If not, keep refreshing that forum until you see my post. Then, go to it. Affy will have to keep refreshing that forum until he sees all of our posts, then he can strike! Afterwards, we all have to get away - I intend to bound down the mountain and lose myself in the forest. I will keep refreshing the forum until I see Affy is done, then I will post my get-away post.

No wonder we are partners! Symulposting 2 hours early!

Just been to the doughnut thread - it is a long one. Remember that you can add ?latest=1 to the address to have it take you to the most recent group of posts.

http://www.h2g2.com/F26840?thread=59861&latest=1 Happy now? :-)

I was happy before. Just thought I'd remind the other guys in case they didn't remember.

*Checks something resembling an official timer*

According to my watch, we've got about nineteen minutes. So, we just have to waste time. The good me is there with Ghostbusting equipment (there's been some ghost donuts around the stall lately), so as soon as you jump in, break the plasma blaster before he tries to shoot you with it.

*Sits back, waiting for Ice and Grey to make themselves known*

So. Have you spent any time Beta Testing yet, GL?

Not yet - how about you?

Since I am the first in the doughnut stall, should I break Affy's blaster?

*Walks in from a small preperation time of a day and a half*

Hello, hello. I've bben out getting ready, all my augmentations and things have been underused and I needed to make sure they were still running correctly and be able to tweak them if they weren't. Also I've been creating all of my various bindings I'll be needing, mostly duct tape with a good solid handkercheif for the gag. As we speak I am writing my entry so that I can post it moments after Garius does his stuff.

I am ready...

I've already written mine, too. I just added a bit about biting Affy's blaster. LOL

Good! Good! Make sure that the other me can't shoot us! IF he tries to pick up a weapon, make sure he doesn't! Also, don't forget that we are representing STUMPED, so be as dramatic, theatrical, and impressive as possible!

*Picks up a STUMPED calling card that he can drop at the scene of the crime*

Granted, Affy will complain that this is an illegal breach of forum continuity, but hey, we're the bad guys!

(BTW, yes, I have done the Beta Testing, reported several of the easier to notice bugs, and got a new copy of the game from Stefano.)

Roughly nine minutes to go, people. Ice, are you here?

Someone just made a comment about it being perfectly safe at the doughnut stand. LOL.

Where are you, Ice?

*Checks a watch*

Fifteen seconds. As soon as Ice shows, get moving, GL.

Symlpost!

*Listens, hoping to hear sounds of Ice approaching*

How long should we give him before we go anyway. He may be waiting at the doughnut stand, or something.

I just checked the donut stand and didn't see any sign of Ice

Let's check a "Who's Online" thing. If he's online, GL, tell us that you're going. He's bound to notice eventually, and we should be able to handle things without him in case he became delayed due to problems beyond his control. That means that, if he doesn't show up, I want you...

*Points at GL*

To sniff out the S30 recipe/sample, and I want you...

*Points at Grey*

To handle Joanna *and* all of the other customers. Here's another snowzar.

I meant lurking, waiting for our posts.
