10 years bitches

[baptizemyself]

Ladies (and gents). This weekend marks our 10 year anniversary as a game. And we shouldn't let that pass unnoticed. We need to do something group wise.

I was thinking we should party old school. Thread hopping. Putting all our actions in *stars*. Pretending like we have NO FUCKING CLUE what we are doing. Just like when we first started XD

But out that is just one suggestion. If you have something better, go ahead and suggest! 

10 years of RP.

10 years of crack.

10 years of emergency potatoes and deep fried paradoxes.

10 years of fun.

10 years of friends.

Posts to bring all the chaos the bar can bring.

Watching squid telenovelas on tv.

Being pulled in by the demon karaoke machine.

Music from the jukebox that tries to compete.

Lake party!

Bring in all the hilarious cracky plots we can; body swapping, critter plot, gender swapping mints, IMDB flu, amnesia, whatever we can think of.

The fun version of the Allpocalypse.

Oh man that sounds awesome XD

[never_shall_yield]

This has my vote. Lets do everything! :D

Oh my god. That means February's my decade Milliversary, what the fuck.

I am super into the idea of a lake party!

One of the things we could have would be another baseball game -- Sunshine was just suggesting it to Teja, see the link!

What makes you think I have a clue even now? :)

Now pardon me while I wax eloquent...

We've outlasted almost every TV show on the air back then. We've moved from desktop computers and monitors to tablets with more computing power than the desktops, and better graphics than the monitors. We've graduated, or gotten new jobs, or moved, or fallen in love. Sometimes, we've faced pain and loss, but the game has been here to help distract, and the players have been here to help us cope.

10 years ago, this was just a game. A lark. Now? Well, it's still just a game. But it's also kind of like home to me. The threads at ridiculous hours with people in Australia, the crackchats about every possible topic - I know more about British and Irish politics now that I would otherwise, for example, the friendships that matter...I was surprised when I started making friends from the game, and now I can't imagine not having you in my life.

Wow.

Yeah, this has been the most consistent place in my life for that time (I don't reach ten until March, mind). Back when I started I was still at school, and we had dial-up internet. It's pretty much the main basis of my social life given I move jobs every four months.

Long may it last!

I'll run the karaoke machine!

... I mean that. I was considering doing it this weekend anyway!

[bjornwilde]

I am one the fence about who I should have get caught by the karaoke machine, Jessica Drew or Hank McCoy. Jess loves karaoke on principle and Hank could use the crack.

TEN YEARS...

It's hard to believe.

For those of you who want to see a true "beginning of the game" mess of a thread, check out this one. This was done without AIM to coordinate - no one was really using AIM for group chat or planning. We communicated through ooc comments in tags and there were SO many deleted posts and thread fragments because we'd reply to tags and things happened so fast that you'd reply in the wrong place.

Just... SO MUCH CHAOS AND FUN.

I am in. Although I'll be on vacation... I'll make something happen.

[sdelmonte]

What's kind of amazing is how quickly some of the conventions of play were in place by the time I joined just two months into the game.

[vivien]

It didn't take long, for sure. All the flailing was kind of super fun and exhilarating, but having plans and slowtime is awesome, too.

[never_shall_yield]

OH MY GOD, so much nostalgia. And I didn't even join until a year later - but I read so many of those old threads, and there are so many names in that one. Lucifer! Tonks! Gabriel! Jeez. I can't believe it's been so long.

TEN MORE YEARS

And I have no idea what I'm doing as it is, so I will have NO PROBLEM with your suggestion!

I think I might bring in Ziggy Stardust for the occasion. He can present the bar with a dressing-up box for AUs. :DDDD

[sunbaked_baker]

BODY-SWITCHING CURRY. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[minkhollow]

We need to revisit Haiku Day again this year. I'll try to remember to toss Apollo in for it.

Happy belated birthday, Bar! And thank you for the lake party post!
