REPAIR GUY orders COMPATIBLE TOILET and PAYS for OVERNIGHT DELIVERY.

"Now we just need that expert to fix the tile."

HISTORIAN tries to find SOURCE OF SOUND.

Well, I have bad news.

Throughout the Easter weekend, I have come to realize posting in this thread has become a chore. And obviously it was not devised as a chore, but a pleasant distraction. Through the weekend it has come so far that I have avoided reading the thread altogether, going "meh".

Adding to that, increasing demands on my time here on the board and elsewhere have made it significantly more difficult to actually put together coherent posts, and led to longer and longer delays between stuff happening.

So...I figure it's time to end it. I would propose an "indefinite postponement until inspiration hits again", but let's be honest here: only an incredibly small percentage of "suspended" STGODs actually see a continuation.

Darn.

Rats. I know how it goes, but. Well.

I hope that somewhere out there, in some dreamlike space-Valhalla, the lunacy goes on.

I'll always remember the AMATEUR ZERO-G FIGHTING, the MAD SCIENCE, the RANDOM CAPITALIZATION.

But what I'll mostly remember was the laughter. And the CACKLING.

Oh well, I was getting unfunny and all-business anyway.

Still though, it was a fun attempt. Perhaps part of the problem is too many random people joining in and needed to be kept track of (and the people that hang in once or twice and then disappear)?

Either way, thanks PeZook for the fun already provided.

I was simply running out of jokes

If we ever do anything remotely like that again, I will analyze the problems and try to come up with solutions.

Yes, humour is much more difficult to write than one would think. Or at least, for some people. I don't think like that.

Tell me though, what if someone else took over?

Huh. I didn't think anyone would want to

But sure, why not. It would be interesting to see.

P.S.

The CAPITALIZATION was not RANDOM.

Yeah, I would volunteer but definitely not now (and not sure that I would be the best candidate anyway: I think we would need someone with a better sense of humour). I have school-leaving exams in the next week and the weeks to come.

Still though, I don't want to let this die without at least trying to see whether we can keep it alive a little longer, we were just about to start making a serious business and all.

It had a good run. Given how much time I have kicking around right now, I would volunteer to keep it running, but I won't be able to start until this coming Sunday.

Also, I doubt I have PeZooks humorous writing skills. But I'll give it a go if people want this to continue.

Since it's semi-officially over now, I feel like now is the right time to ask: what direction did you originally see this going in? What did you figure that we might do?

Because I know from my own experience that those predictions are almost never close to what actually happens.

Was it based off of The Editing Room's abridged movie scripts?

Well, I envisioned it as an actual Let's Play, where a bunch of players who barely know anything about spaceflight would make decisions on what to do with the spaceplane and when.

And thus inevitably die in a fire

It turned out into more of an RPG.

Actually I based it on MUDs: I tried to keep the RANDOM CAPITALIZATION to NOUNS and ADJECTIVES like OLD MUDS did due to LIMITATIONS of DATA STORAGE.

It drifted a bit, yeah, but was never random

I'm actually quite surprised that when I asked if I could join, nobody started yelling at me

So, again, does somebody feel like taking over PeZook's place? Preferably someone who himself isn't a player or can remove himself as one.

Why would we do that?

Well, there was a thread a while back about SDN taking over the government of Tropico and setting up a new one. I completely missed the "theme" of a TGOD, and basically started spamming random stuff. Then Thanas got angry at me and I created basically a carbon copy of the thread on another board.

I would take it on, but it may be difficult to remove myself as a player, seeing how I'm the pilot and all.

I can give it a try, if you guys want me to.

Why would you need to remove yourself as a player? I mean, the... author?... of the thread controls several people already (the dog, Tropical Beauty, the hobo, the owners of Okhtosk).

For similar reasons as to why it's usually a bad sign that directors star in their own films: ego can easily come into play.

PeZook controls several characters, but they are more like NPCs rather than played characters.
