I considered Paradise Lost, except I just don't have the time to read it from the beginning.

Won't want to say anything more until i gain immunity from any bannable crime from the local mod. They should REALLY give me that immunity because i have a LOT of dirt to spill. I swear to the western god!

Until then, this is all a SAD dream. You hear nothing. Nothing!

I'd like to invite the both of you to my house where I will disclose some irrelevant information which anyone can get access to (which I won't state for the record because then it will give our enemies the exact means to fight us).

You can then come back the next day and brief me on what I told you.

You mentioned Paradise Lost being too long. Diog made a recap for it at some point if you want to join in, linked in his OP. Or if you want to join #madgod on synirc you can get up to date on it pretty quick, at least the important bits. The recap itself is fairly lengthy but not amazingly so. The IRC is also the IRC for most other CYOAs going on, including the monster hunter one as well as Loel's game.

Come be a 10 foot tall black muscle wizard. It is good and cool.

If you haven't started reading PL it isn't a CYOA. It's a novel you read a bit at a time, and when you get to end you're allowed to help guide the next chapter. Or at least argue about the direction of the next chapter.

I don't have a lot of time to invest here, so I read and play along when I can; that's why I never put my name on the pilot list for PTN's Battletech fun.

Still, maybe I'll read the recap one of these days, after I get through all of Quints shenanigans.

"I need to speak with people and get back to you." Hang up on her, show her who's in charge. Total 80's power move. Now she knows who's in charge. She needs us more than we need her. Let's let her stew on it a little bit.

All of a sudden everyone's phones start going off simultaneously, yours included. A youtube video with over a million views posted just a few minutes ago is going viral.

quote:

In it you see a young urban man in rural Kentucky. Four cops show up to the scene. You hear lots of screaming from the officers through the dash cam, centered right on the youth. You hear lots of mention of them saying shots fired. The police point their weapons at the man who drops a pistol in his hand and begins to raise his arms in one motion. It all happens in just a second but one of the police gets worried and opens fire. Immediately the other three join in. Four police less than 10 yards away open fire emptying their entire pistols into the young man. You see small blotches of blood very very slowly leak out of the man from dozens of chunks of missing flesh and bullet holes,, almost congealed like jelly and moving slower than blood should ever move. A chunk of his cheek is just gone, yet no blood falls.

The man is still standing despite these holes in him. Two of the cops move in and throw cuffs on him and call an ambulance.

You hear the cops "Holy poo poo holy poo poo holy poo poo what happened?"

One of the cops starts sticking his finger in the bullet holes. The young man asks him to stop it.

The video ends

You fire off a tweet about how Law and Order will be restored in Kentucky no matter the cost.

"Jeremy, i need you to tell our NASA boys to get on this."

Jerry is getting too comfortable, gotta knock him down a peg.

Your phone rings and your secretary announces the caller.

"It's Michelle Bachelet"

"What are you wearing?"

Michelle laughs.

"You always were funny Mr. President."

Great, she wants something.

"I like your bass"

"I like some good bass too. I'll send you a crate."

"Why are you calling Michelle?"

She cuts to the chase and drops the act.

"I heard through the grapevine that you are still considering Europe's offer. I'd like to extend the same offer they did, but with one caveat: You'd effectively lead the charge. There are some concessions we'd want of course. Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Venezuela, and of course Chile would all require you to build a state of the art university as part of our cooperation. We would share any and every resource we could to assist you and you'd obviously have full access to our full academic and archaeological coalitions as well as anything discovered.

You could choose to run it day to day, ask us to run it with you getting all the credit, whatever you want."

What do you do?

A) Accept the offer, but add an addendum that you want to be given an official government position in each respective government.

B) I like their attitude better, they know their place. I love Chiles, eat there all the time. Let's go with it.

C) Reject it outright and let her make the counteroffer herself

D) Politely decline

E) Player choice

And, before you pitch me, consider this; from now on, I want every Miss Universe contestant from this coalition to come up here for a one year 'internship'. That's every year, I get the latest 'model', as it were."
