Legends of the Spam....
PostPosted: Thu Jul 08, 2004 9:24 pm
For some it's coffee... others it's running up and down stairs that keeps them going. Me? Writing funny stories, duh! Anywho, I needed a small distraction to keep me going and I recall a funny story thread of a long time back in another forum... I've decided to bring it here with a CAA twist and your help...
So here's the deal:
Here are the rules:
1. This a funny ongoing story, that each person whom wishes to be involved adds a chapter. The story will be a comedy. Similar to the "Third Contest: Story!" thread.
2. Please follow the lead and similar style of the first Chapter.
P.S. You may write multiple chapters for the story! Just not in successive order. "not one after the other"
3. Each person to participate adds one chapter to the story at a time. A chapter being of at least... Oh I guess.. 300 words "give or take a few words ".
4. For the post to count as part of the story please put the following: the Chapter title and number. And optional: bold the forum member names.
5. Finally, please nobody take offense to anything or write something very offensive. This story is here to make you laugh. Just have fun, people! Ease up!
Get all that? Good.
Let's get to writin'!
Legends of the Spam
Chapter One: The Flood
*bangs his drink down onto the bar counter and slowly starts talking*
You may hear some speak of tales of ancient spammers. Giants among men that died out long before the civilized world. Several hundred posts a day was but a ripple in the ocean to them. Sounds horrible doesn't it?
But no need to fear, those ancient super-spammers were all captured and/or destroyed at the dawn of the second age, right? Wrong.
Some of them endured. The mighty spam king, UC Pseudonym the Sephiroth of countless postings and his three Acolytes, Volt, the blog bouncer, ShiroiHikari, the Mistress of the great avatar of Doom, and Straylight, the Master of M$ IE. (Please don’t hurt me you four Just having some fun.) Deep in the depths of forums long since forgotten they waited. Biding their time, practicing their art of spamming and gaining strength for what they deemed, "T3H F|00d". Or in forummite tongue, The Flood.
"Old fool. Go back to your dream world of falsehood and save us the displeasure of hearing your fairy tales", you might say, and I wouldn't blame ya! But I have proof! For you see, I was there, my friends. I was there, the day the strength of all the forummers was tested. It's how I lost... THIS. *turns around revealing eye-patch*
*gasps and whispers spread through the gathering of people*
On that fateful day, many long years ago, when The Flood struck. They spread their spam on thick, and entire forums were lost to The Flood's dark spamming powers. Our last remaining forces, including development, Ashley, oldphilosopher, shooraijin, Gypsy , Shatterheart, Lightbringer, and many other CAA members rallied and fought back against the Spam Lord. Yes, I was there too, a mere recruit… watching and barely surviving the battle. Our victory was near... but the power of the spam, could not be undone. Our great leader, development was struck down by UC. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that UC's own adversaries, Volt, Straylight, and ShiroiHikari realized the error of their ways and turned against him. With our combined forces, the Dark Lord was vanquished and cast into the shadows. Victory was bittersweet. Many a good forummers were deleted or became guests in that war that was later deemed, "Project Server Move".
*turns around and goes back to his cup of ale whilst everyone sits in stunned silence*
Yet, this wasn’t the end of the age of Spam… more to this story there is…. For the Dark Lord returned again shortly thereafter.
*he lifted his hand and pointed at a person sitting in the corner.. hiding in the cover of the shadow*
The one in the corner… they know the story better than I!
OOC: All right, folks! Your turn to continue the story!
