Log started: 6/11/02 3:35:40 AM Upper Nile The Nile River is the second longest stretch of river on the planet, and the only one to flow upstream instead of down. A natural wonder to the Ancient Egyptians, and an attraction to extraterrestial life whom visited the Egyptians unknown numbers of times pre-BC. The Nile itself was a source of life to farmers by flooding their crops. The adjacent side was the land of the dead, where Egyptians 'Ka's' traveled after death. A few modern farms still dot the edges of this massive river, using high-tech methods to irrigate their crops. Sideshow [RM] [#4560 Tp] Factories!

I know he's going to read this eventually, so, Doc, just act surprised. :) So far we've decided there will be a party, and each Robot Master attending should have a personal gift for Dad. Bright Man is in charge of organizing the party, so if you want to help, contact him. I assume, if there's nothing else going on, the party will be Father's Day or the day after. Maybe the day before? Furthermore, we want to have a big RM-esque present for the old man. Contact me with any ideas, and I'll check with Enker to see if they're viable. He'll, in turn, check with the Admin. Thanks to everyone who was at the meeting and for your ideas, Whirr, Gyro Man $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ Robot Master $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 12/44 Posted Author Object Update Mon Jun 10 Bass ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bass appears on screen, location, uh.. well, there's a lot of welding going on in the background, and other construction tasks. A set of five Neo Joes walk by, each dressed as something different; a construction worker, a policeman, a native American.. you get the idea. "As of whatever the bloody hell time it is, the Quint Blimp is officially completed and ready for service. It'll be stored here in the old Citadel Ruins in Egypt until I call on its.. /brilliance/.. heh.. to assist in the next phase of my plan to crush the capitalist Repliforce. Or maybe that's just the INCREDIBLY ANNOYING REPLIFORCE BASE IN KUWAIT, IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT!" The camera's rocked back as Bass all but unhinges his own jaw to let loose that scream. In the background, the lifesize cut-out of Ballade is wheeled by, its head duct-taped back into place since the Force Leader's last.. tantrum.. over Rock's new clothing line. "Anyway, the low-orbit base is halfway to completion. It'll be done and up and orbiting near the end of the month, give or take a few days. Once it's launched, the army's moving." "Even as I speak, since I know you're ALL listening so DAMN intently, I'm putting the band back together for a little march on Kuwait that should make even Vile blush with envy. Ha! The Gateway Pylons are secretly detaching generic patrol routes and teleporting them deep into Egypt. With no opposing satellites marring the sky -- and I'm STILL making sure of THAT personally - it'll more than likely go unnoticed. There's no more than ten thousand grouped at any one location, so even if they sneak something through, well.. who REALLY gives a DAMN?" "I'm going to crush them like ants with my giant joe hammer. If we had a Hammer Man, not only would he be rapping insane lyrics, but he'd be green with envy! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" "In the meantime, get off your asses and GET BACK TO WORK, YOU LAZY SONS OF --" Oh, lucky viewers, static just came up.

What does that mean? That means that other than getting a couple medals (go team go), we're going to be allowed to raid once again. However, I'd suggest you all keep the following firmly in mind, since we'll be enforcing it pretty harshly. And before anyone asks, Denebola has already given his consent to this, so by all means, play nice. * If you raid, you will post about it within 24 hours of completing the raid. Forewarning would be nice, but it is a fact that most raids transpire at the drop of a hat. * Raiding is not to return to the same frequency as before; there will be no 3 raids a day, 7 days a week. I'll be damned if things return back to those days. If you want to run a raid, get it cleared by someone in charge. That way, we can make sure that there aren't too many raids run. Let me paint a more clear picture, however; if a proper report is failed to be posted about a raid, those involved will be barred from raids for a fortnight. If too many raids are run, those involved will be kept from raids for a month. Sounds harsh? It's meant to be. Like I said, I'll be damned if I let things return to the way they used to be. And really, it's pretty easy to avoid any of these penalties; just remember to bbpost, and make certain the faction isn't raiding too often. I'll be looking to the squad leaders to assist in this. A bit of added OOC responsibility will do a world of good for the faction as a whole. This is meant to sound harsh, but it's pretty simple to avoid any of the repercussions of letting things sink to how they used to be. Raid for a purpose, post about it, but make sure there aren't too many raids going on. If a figure is needed, think of something along the lines of 2 raids per 3 days. Sound a bit stretched? Maybe it is. Keep in mind, that minor scenes involving 2-4 people max (as in, 1-2 from each side) isn't too bad and probably won't count towards the grand total. That's not encouragement to go creating a hundred little raids, but they can certainly be better accommodating. And post about those, too. At the end of the day, it's really simple. Don't raid as often as we used to, post about it. Avoid getting yourself banned, because as much as I dislike the idea of barring people from certain RP aspects, it is something I will do if things get out of hand. Keep them in hand. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ Robot Master $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 12/47 Posted Author OOC: New +motd, Chat Freq Mon Jun 10 Bass ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out +motd for details. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ Robot Master $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 12/48 Posted Author OOC: Oh, and..
