A SLACK Tale: The Return

Postby DezNutz » Thu Jul 22, 2021 6:19 pm

Ahoy Mateys!

It has been a while since our last tale and me find it fitting that a I bring yee up to current.

Unlike befor', the names of those in this tale have been changed to protect no one and have been done so solely for the entertainment value.

And so I continue....

Days, weeks, and months slowly passed and the quibble between Les Tres Griefers and the BBC had drawn to a close. The Tavern regulars sat around making small talk and drinking rum. On occasion, a few notable encounters occurred within the Tavern.

Thunderless, even though encouraged by the Tavern regulars, refused to plunder his pirate wench who left him alone or even try to wear big boy pants. Thunderless also went pirate numerous times. Most of these were short lived with him returning to a be a servant to a crown in return for stipend payouts. His longest bout as a Pirate is his most recent run of about week so far. There is a tavern pool on how long it lasts. The previous pool was cancelled, because no one would bet that he would stop being Thunderless.

Team Griefers, led by NotAnAmateur, mounted an assault on the Spanish Treasury making off with Billions in gold coin. UnloadsThem and his motley crew of stipend suckers chose to run to the nation of Madagascar. It was rumored that they couldn't stop sending love letters and poems to Dr. Testy and was better to abandon ship. JerseyGirlX attempted to talk smack and argued against what had happened, but that only just singled herself out. Those that targeted the Spainish Treasury left to Albania after the Treasury ran dry.

The Aquanut Haters of JerseyGirlX, TooManyVowels, Thunderless, and ManyNamesMcGee (formerly LostinTime) would get together every so often and get into some banter with the Aquanut. The discussions would start out interestingly and peaceful enough, but unsurprisingly, would end the same with each side calling each other psycho, stalkers, and/or liars. The regulars sat in the corner of the Tavern and waited for an orgy to break out in the middle of the tavern, but to no avail.

TaggedEveryWhere sported some spiffy posters throughout the Tavern. ManyNamesMcGee went on a rager when he discovered that one of the posters was of his shanty and horse and wagon, doxing himself to everyone in SLACK. There was also speculation that TaggedEveryWhere sent ManyNamesMcGee's stepmom a letter via messenger pigeon saying Hi, but this couldn't be proven. Crying to the tavern managers commenced. Dr. Testy, Siberian Husky, SoullessDane, and Elvira met in the Tavern's Office, initially determined that the originating issue was not an issue and acting on unproven information against someone the complainer had issue with was outside of their responsibility and should be deferred to the owner. Further complaining ensued. Dr. Testy eventually grew tired of ManyNamesMcGee complaining and his baiting attempts in telling Dr. Testy how to manage the tavern, so to keep it all fair, both ManyNamesMcGee and TaggedEveryWhere were booted from the Tavern for a week. TaggedEveryWhere and his witty posters were sorely missed by the normal crowd in the tavern.

Not long after TaggedEveryWhere and ManyNamesMcGee were allowed to return to the tavern an enigma appeared in the Tavern.

Rageshan The Quitter had returned.

Wasting no time, Rageshan spouted out a diatribe attacking TaggedEveryWhere and The Aquanut. Some banter incurred and Rageshan left the Tavern as quickly as she appeared, but not before telling Dr. Testy that she never said she was quitting.

The Tavern was in an uproar.

"How can this be, ManyNamesMcGee? You and Spam said she was quitting."

"Rageshan told me she was quitting, I have the letters showing so!"

"She's a liar!!"

ManyNamesMcGee and Thunderless quickly jumped to defend their mistress.

The Tavern was a ruckus of discussion and rum.


Will Rageshan return as a regular to the Tavern? Will Thunderless finally wear big boy pants? Will ManyNamesMcGee cure his self-identified mental deficiency?

Wait! WHAT?

Oh that's a story for another time. Or you can come join us in SLACK and find out for yourself.

Until then....


Dr. Testy

Hmm.....

Did your sense of humor die?

The forums have been pretty descent for a while. SLACK is a good outlet to vent and just shoot the shit. Yeah stupid shit happens from time to time but it isn't constant. The above shenanigans happened over a period of 5 months and not all of the activity occuring in SLACK. Nothing wrong with mentioning some of the shenanigans to entertain the masses about some of the times the regulars had in SLACK.

It's a correlation to you changing your name a dozen times.

LOL that is because no one is active in the forums anymore.

only 3 threads posted on in the last 2 weeks in the forums.

Been so long since anyone posted in the tavern discussion that the threads dont even show. All you see is "Latest tavern discussion: No recent posts found. Inspire a new discussion"
