The Elder Cave

Post by Bear »

The Elder Cave... Because every good forum needs a place where the elder forumites can plot world domination, plot how to keep the noobs down, generally arse about, kick back and relax and watch over the community in style.

Soo, pull up a wing-back comfy rock chair, bring in your national/favourite snack and drink, grab a place by the fire and fight over who gets the higher membership number when we form the commitee. :D

Being English and proud, I bring crumpets and Marmite, lashings of Tetley tea, and because I'm stealing it... Lots of Baileys :twisted:

Just watch out for the KGB (Kodiak Guard Bears) at the door...

Flaming pitchforks and elder robes will be issued once your security deposit clears.

*drags up a worn easy chair*

*brushes KGB fluff off hands*

Bear, next time, better guards please. :lol:

Well, let's see, Germany is not that wel-known for its cuisine... So I just brought some kegs of icecold Weizenbier.

So, we should be setting an Agenda. One of the first points, just so that we can show our elitist *bling*, is to make some rules who is allowed into the Elder Cave. Well, I guess it's too late to kick Bear out, so he stays. But, yes, rules?? Number of posts?? Time since registering?? Or do we add lurking time too, i.e. when did we start reading Ma3??

It's up for discussion.

Going by numbers of posts alone, I think Bear gets to be supreme vile megalomaniac dictator. :twisted:

Edit: Fittingly, this was my post #200!!! That's a decent number, I'd say.

Edit #2: I'll have some of that Bailey's on the rocks, s'il vous plait.

Aww.. damnit.. do you know how hard it is to import Kodiak bears over here at this time of year? I knew I should have told them to maul smart alecs on sight.

And yes... far too late to kick me out, Its my cave afterall :D. As the official highest poster without spamming, and already having had the robes made in my size, I'll gladly accept the title and possition of Supreme Vile Meglomanic Dictator of The Elder Cave.

Note, first order of business is to think up a set of titles that aren't such a mouthfull, and a set of possitions to give people... I think Don can go with Grand High Smart Alec.

Second Order, once we get the Grand council assemble we'll decide if its number of posts, plus time registered, + or - geek points and if we like the person or not :D

Third Order... Quickly think of suitably impressive titles for Giz and Dave so they don't kick our asses...

Fourth Order... Baileys on Ice for all! :D

Heyy, some of us aren't legal.
When will we know if we qualify for the Elder Cave?
I could contribute... biting teenage sarcasm.

Well, lesson learned. Good idea, actually. Let's me keep my position, hehe! :twisted:

All hail the SVMDotEC!!!!

On another note. Does anyone have more posts with spamming?? I don't think so...

I... like it!! :evil:

Actually, that post should have gone to Pneu or DnE, but seeing as they're late for the meeting. :P

Well, seems the # of posts precendent lies by at max > 200 (otherwise I would be shown to the door), but clearly we need to reduce it a bit, otherwise we'd be a small Elder Cave. But for the Grand Council, maybe...

Aish, in the Elder Cave, your RL age counts less than the dust motes whirling toward the ceiling in the updraft of smoky tallow candles...

You started the Nerdy Vices thread, that alone makes you eligible, I'd say. :geek:

Though admittance into the Grand council still needs to be discussed :P

That works, and she does have the youth vote on her side which could be usefull to our schemes... I say she's in.

For now.. Muhahaha. And Yes.. All hail me! And nope. So no giving the rest ideas...

Well the mud and jelly for the wrestling pits on order, so you guys can all fight that out later.

Well we can give them a nice pair of plush seats just off to the side of the Grand Council.... I think we can work on an admitance basis of Geek points + general contribution over time for admitance, and over 200 post for the Grand Council right now.

So, I'm nearing 300 and contribute greatly to the comic relief of most threads. I say you guys need a jester. I say I like pointy hats. And shoes with bells. Like Richard Cory. Wait, that didn't end right...

Well, you for sure are part of the Grand Council, no question. Pneu too, and Retiarius, for his Elder Geek cred alone.

But jester... Hmm... I had someone else in mind... :lol:

The SVMDotEC has spoken. Welcome, Aish!! Hm, you could be the Grand Council's lawyer, seeing that your word is law. ;)

Trust an Englishman to throw jelly into the mudpit.

Okay, we need to go hunt. Does this board have stats somewhere?

Evil Overlord list FTW! Though that isn't even on the list. Sounds good, though.

Hey, stop being spammy to catch up with my post count! lol. We can demote you to cabana boy to Pneu for that...

Oh yeah, Pneu and Retiarius are in once they turn up and pay for the monogrammed robes.

And are you pondering who I'm pondering for jester? lol

And since I'm bored with quote trees already... lol

Its only 3 years if she moves to England since the legal drinking is 18 here.

The jelly isn't going in the mud pit, it depends on what mood were in as to what you can all fight over possitions in. Jelly or Mud, or other medium of preferance...

For stats... click the members button on the top bar, that works.

And well, the list needs revising since its not been touched for years.

Robes? Nah, I go clad in the green! Which means I use my superhuman powers to force noobs into paying for them. Would you like to buy a tulip? Muahaha. :twisted:

Hm, need to pay for my monogrammed robes to. *here*

We are probably pondering the same person, yes... :D

Here in Germany... Hm... Actually, it's a bit indecipherable. There's a limit for discerning between low-alcohol drinks (beer, wine, champagne) and hard stuff. The low stuff you get if you're 16 and older, the hard stuff, 18. But I'm not sure where Bailey's falls.

The thought of wrestling in jelly is somehow enticing... *mind wanders off into perverse directions*

Member link!! w00t!! WHAT??? I'm at #4, even in front of Giz herself!! Jeez... The Grand Council is pretty small then, seems only Pneu has not looked in (at the time I started this post).

Edit: Okay, Pneu is in! :mrgreen:

Sorry I was late for the meeting... I was too busy challenging a greivous insult to my nature... nay, to my very name! Who ever heard of a Dirty 'n Evil individual being a White Paladin - hrmph!

I may not qualify for the sheer post quantity, but between my snarky comments and tendency towards hockey fights I have the perfect role I'd like to nominate myself for. I can be the guard to the cave. I can taunt the noobs while I lean on my Ronnie Hextall goalie stick. (Yes, I actually own one. If you know who that is, I might actually let you admire it.) And we can keep the Kodiaks around when they come to - I'm good with pets. ;)

Oh, Bailey's on ice! Excellent choice. Mind you, I'll have to install a tap that serves Bass Ale if I'm to frequent the Cave. Good stuff.
