So, how's that 'date coming along?

[Caesar]

Doing the flavor text. Took me a while to charge my imagination.

I eventually connected it to a creatibattery- That did the trick.

[Evergod41]

Pff, you still use creatibateries?! I charge my imagination through a series of wildly complex and tedious wire-less l.a.s.e.i. systems, that beam creativity straight into my brain-hole. And it's all powered by the work of stickfigures who slave all night and day, slaughtering each other to feed the furnace. Though I have been running low on them... might need to start a program...

[Digital Hellhound]

That's too expensive, and these new fancy creatigadgets are unstable. I tried using an Inspiration-Station a couple days ago and it wiped my brain. Had to buy a new one.

[Caesar]

I've got three reasons for using those, really. The first is that charging my batteries on your machine is cheap in costs of stick-man labor/food. The second is that, indeed, many of the creatigadgets are very unstable. The third would be that my bodily device that detects solid objects in a dark room did indeed that, with my creatigadget of ultimate doom.

Turned out my shins were tougher.

[Iituem]

Like many traditionalists, I find that crushed pixie juice mixed with a healthy dose of Minoan Horn serves best as a creativity supplement.  When unable to obtain such ingredients, though, I have to settle for Howard Taylor's BICHOK* method.

Hmm, interesting ideas, but I have always used a more radical method: I think for a bit and let the ideas come to me. Who needs fancy gadgets when the ideas are already there and happy to be used?

[Lordinquisitor]

Good technology isn`t the only thing you need. Remember to always install the latest drivers and patches.. and keep your brain clean. Many people forget to defragment their brain, resulting in less imagination.

Many things can cause a fragmented brain: Starting to write something, but aborting it or playing too much RL.

To defragment your brain follow these instructions:

1. Make a backup of your brain; E.g write important informations on a piece of paper.

2. Drink as much alcohol as you can stomach. Then drink more.

3. Punch your head against a wall until you black out.

4. Once, and if, you wake up again you won`t remember much. That is because the data in your brain has been rearranged.. You successfully defragmentated your brain!

HA!

WHAT IS THIS HERESY THAT YOU SPEAK!!! PLUCKING IDEAS OUT OF THIN AIR?! THAT IS INSANITY!!!

Glad someone read the pamflet on brain health...

They use stickcows and stickcorn. They drink stickmilk, and they eat stickcheese, stickcorn, and stickbeef.

He forgot to mention that you have to steer clear of fire for about two or three days.

Thin air? Of course not! Ideas are shy creatures, you merely need to master the knack of luring them out.

I like Ideas. Especially with honey. Baked in honey.
Caesar drools.


Edit: Summarizing flavor text.

[Digital Hellhound]

The land rejoices! An update is near!

[Evergod41]

"And there was much rejoicing."




"Yaaaaaay......."

[Iituem]

Completely unrelated to this, I just started playing Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri again, and am reminded of the sheer depth of the writing in that game.  And by depth, I mean the fact that you are constantly teased with a story that doesn't even play out on the level of the game you're playing at, but bubbles beneath the surface, perpetually keying you in to the very personal battles of the different leaders.

K, that's me done.
