-{Citizen}- Selreena: I hate chest colds. Coughing is for the birds.
-{Citizen}- Belrys: There's a bird flu joke in there somewhere
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: That was a cheep shot
-{Citizen}- Belrys: I hope you have room for Robitussin in your...budgiet?
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: I hope your nest joke is better.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: I can afford it, but I prefer a echinecea.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: Liquid form
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: All these puns are going to be of similarly low
            quality... birds of a feather flock together, you know.
-{Citizen}- Selreena ponders an idea suggestion.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: For what, new ploooomidge?
-{Citizen}- Belrys: Well, this could get aukward then
-{Citizen}- Selreena: Something that will aggitate possibly or make some
            laugh who recall this conversation.
-{Citizen}- Erisa: I think I'm going to just chicken out.  All my puns were
            poultry in comparison.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: I personally would cackle so hard, my coughing might
            actually be worth it aside from my friend Iris.
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: chicken
-{Citizen}- Selreena: I wondered who was going to bite that bait.
-{Citizen}- Selreena hugs Ysadri
-{Citizen}- Belrys: Oh stop grousing Selreena
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: That wasn't a very pheasant remark.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: I can't help who I am, Belrys.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: Just roll with it is my motto
-{Citizen}- Belrys: It was another pun
-{Citizen}- Belrys: Grouse?
-{Citizen}- Erisa: I spoke with a well quailified doctor who says all you
            need is bedrest.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: I'm one who rolls with jokes, even if it confuses.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: If it walks like a pun, swims like a pun, and quacks
            like a pun, it's a python.
-{Citizen}- Belrys: Really?  A bird conversation, and you go with python?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: And ducks.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav ducks.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: Is it duck hunting season yet?
-{Citizen}- Belrys: Rabbit season
-{Citizen}- Erisa: You have to stick to the theme.  That's like.. the
            cardinal rule of punnery.
-{Citizen}- Selreena snaps her fingers.
-{Citizen}- Selreena isn't a hunter.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Erisa, I'd love to talk turkey with you, but I really
            have to round off here at work.
-{Citizen}- Erisa: Okay, that one was a bit of ostrich
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Yeah, well, I can't complain. At least I have a nice
            quiet desk job, I don't have to be out hawking stuff
            door-to-door.
-{Citizen}- Erisa: But don't you feel pigeonholed in your tiny cubicle?
-{Citizen}- Yusif: I'm robin my eyes, but what emu seeing isn't getting any
            better. All these falcon puns are getting the bitty of me. Can
            you guys sparrow a bit of time to cut the gull damn puns down?
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: You're just egging him on, you know.
-{Citizen}- Belrys: It's not like we're committing some sort of murder.
            People naturally flock to puns.
-{Citizen}- Yusif: It's the nest best thing to doing it yourself. This
            sentence has dove in it.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: Quote the raven.
-{Citizen}- Ysadri crows at that joke
-{Citizen}- Erisa bonks Yusif on the head.
-{Citizen}- Slyndon: You should calm down a little you're acting like a
            bunch of boobies
-{Citizen}- Selreena: Honestly, Slyndon. I'm dying laughing. I had to get a
            bear three jokes into this.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: beer*
-{Citizen}- Slyndon: It was another pun :(
-{Citizen}- Selreena: No it really wasn't.
-{Citizen}- Selreena laughs
-{Citizen}- Selreena: Even my first comm
-{Citizen}- Selreena: ..ent wasn't intending for that, but it was funny how
            things worked out.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: And one has to love a shitty keyboard!
-{Citizen}- Selreena gives it a thumbs up.
-{Citizen}- Belrys: We'd better be careful, or the pun police will corvus
            up
-{Citizen}- Erisa winces in pain.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: Slyndon is just being the rooster in the room.
-{Citizen}- Selreena laughs
-{Citizen}- Selreena: Now that was Slyndon
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Finally off work, now I can afford to engage in flights
            of fantasy.
-{Citizen}- Belrys: Work...it's surely the albatross around our necks
-{Citizen}- Selreena: All I can say is I hope some of you flocking birds
            have seen the new Oz movie.
-{Citizen}- Belrys: But maybe you an a co worker could spare a peregrines.
            I'm sure we'd all feel bittern about that.
-{Citizen}- Selreena: It's great.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Yes, but it pays the bills, and if we're lucky, lets us
            put away a bit of a nest-egg.
-{Citizen}- Erisa imagines J Jonah Jamison, except instead of yelling, "Get
            me pictures of Spiderman!" he's yelling, "Get me more puns
            about birds!"
-{Citizen}- Belrys: We can certainly tern a phrase or two
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: And the gull-ible will swallow the lot
-{Citizen}- Selreena: Rosuav, the more you keep up with this, the more I
            believe you are REALLY a bird spotter.
-{Citizen}- Erisa: With a pell I can write all these down for later use.
-{Citizen}- Erisa: Pell being a type of parchment..
-{Citizen}- Erisa shuffles about uncomfortably
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Not really, nor a cruciverbalist... just a geek with a
            hankerin' fer language. And it's a bit of an achievement to
            keep the punstorm going this long. A feather in our collective
            cap.
-{Citizen}- Erisa: Beginning to feel a bit cooped up, though.  Might need
            to go outside to stretch my legs. Maybe chick the mail while
            I'm at it.
-{Citizen}- Belrys: I feel a bit of a tit, honestly, for all this mocking;
            Birds have thrown a wren ch in the works
-{Citizen}- Belrys: And to think that earlier Achtius was talking about his
            red-tail
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Huh. The bus I'm on has its ticket validators inactive.
            Only the second time that's happened all year. Free travel,
            what a lark!
-{Citizen}- Erisa: You just don't know what puns to do do you?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: No, I've kinda run out now, I don't think I can keep
            the audience en-raptored much longer.


-{Citizen}- Yelena: mongollon bbq...nom
Game Driver shouts: Ack!!!!!!
Someone tells you: I think the game is crashing.
Game Driver forced you to: quit
MudOS driver shouts: shutting down immediately.
%%% Disconnected from server.

-{Citizen}- Achtius: Soooo, what happened?
-{Citizen}- Marin: I think it was Tsarvald
-{Citizen}- Marin: just kidding!
-{Citizen}- Razok: ...I started chewing on the server's power cord... :(
-{Citizen}- Achtius: I think that Traxe's last bug report finally pushed
            the server over the brink.
-{Citizen}- Gesslar: actually
-{Citizen}- Gesslar:
            Xinefus says, "I didn't break it!"
            Leveth says, "I did"
            Leveth says, "Sold... nearly twenty bits of gold"
            Leveth shrugs

-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Oh by the way, Achtius. http://rosuav.com/1/?id=745
-{Citizen}- Achtius: One of my proudest moments.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav grins
-{Citizen}- Achtius: Ros, if you have logs by character I would love to see
            all of mine.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: http://rosuav.com/1/?search=achtius
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: That'll find any time your name comes up, whether it's
            you or not.
(long pause)
-{Citizen}- Rosuav thinks Achtius is now searching for other people too
-{Citizen}- Achtius: Duh!
-{Citizen}- Achtius: I can look up anyones logs with this! It is infinte
            power!
-{Citizen}- Rosuav grins
-{Citizen}- Achtius: I bet if I type Rosuav all the logs will display
            right?
-{Citizen}- Achtius: Search Rosuav rather.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav shakes his head no
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: It's text search
-{Citizen}- Achtius: But you aren't in all of them you are saying.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Correct.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Incidentally, there's a limit of 50 results for any
            search. If you have more than that, the excess get hidden
            behind a "More" link that gives titles only.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: So typing "rosuav" into the search box isn't all that
            useful.
-{Citizen}- Achtius: Whatever, I am reading about how fucking creepy you
            are right now. I don't have time for what is being said
            presently.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav grins, "Heh heh heh!"
-{Citizen}- Achtius: This is being logged isn't it.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: It... might not be.


-{Citizen}- Achtius: I don't think drinking lends iteslef well to
            reolplaeyaaing.
-{Citizen}- Selreena smirks in amusement
-{Citizen}- Jemme: drink up, it's Christmas.
-{Citizen}- Achtius: You have my posessions! Fucking rebots!
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Someone point Achtius to this when he's next sober.
            http://rosuav.com/1/?id=745
-{Citizen}- Rosuav is one of the rebots, I think
-{Citizen}- Achtius: You are a nerf Rosuav
-{Citizen}- Rosuav snickers


-{Citizen}- Marin: are there handhelds you can mud from?
-{Citizen}- Leshrak: yes
-{Citizen}- Leshrak: i use an HTC tilt 2, you can do it with pretty much
            any mobile running WM6, and I'm sure that someone has written
            an app for android
-{Citizen}- Leshrak: i wouldn't try to do it on an iphone with the screen
            keyboard though, that would be a pain in the ass
-{Citizen}- Jaheria: Now if somebody could write a mudprogram for my Nokia,
            I would be happy
-{Citizen}- Calan: There is an app for andraid, Armon uses it, and theres
            info about it on the forums
-{Citizen}- Marin: thanks will look that up
-{Citizen}- Valxe: Is there one for the Pre? I looked around and couldn't
            find one
-{Citizen}- Leshrak: make sure you get a phone with a full keyboard though
-{Citizen}- Tariyan: Jaheria, what do you have?
-{Citizen}- Leshrak: there's way too much shit to type in for a numpad or
            soft keyboard
-{Citizen}- Jaheria: Nokia E17
-{Citizen}- Saorise: Can you mud from an iphone
-{Citizen}- Saorise: please say no
-{Citizen}- Achtius: Yes, you can.
-{Citizen}- Saorise: ohdear.
-{Citizen}- Valxe: Can you MUD from a landline phone?
-{Citizen}- Leshrak: -{Citizen}- Leshrak: i wouldn't try to do it on an
            iphone with the screen keyboard though, that would be a pain in
            the ass
-{Citizen}- Saorise: LIKE I WAS PAYING ATTENTION
-{Citizen}- Calan: might be hard on an iphone with no slidey keyboard
-{Citizen}- Achtius: The new iPhone 4 converts MUD to full graphics.
-{Citizen}- Marin: so you think the tilt is easiest to type on?
-{Citizen}- Grythael: Can you MUD using morse code?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Valxe, you need to set up one-digit aliases for all
            commands
-{Citizen}- Guldor: Nokia E71 and E72 (and other noikia's ) have python
            ready for them.  YOu can load python and then run a python
            client to mud with (haven't don eit myself, my fingers are too
            large for the keyts! )
-{Citizen}- Valxe: Can you MUD on a stone slab?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Valxe, yes; it's a crude form of mortar or cement.
-{Citizen}- Valxe grins, "Heh heh heh!"
-{Citizen}- Saorise missed the joke?
-{Citizen}- Achtius: No Valxe, you can not.
-{Citizen}- Achtius: You can MUD from a potato connected to a car battery
            though.
-{Citizen}- Valxe: Maybe one day we'll be able to MUD from our brains.
-{Citizen}- Grythael: Then I'm fucked
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Never tried that one, Ach, do you have full color
            support?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: We are Threshers of Borg. You will be PK'd.
-{Citizen}- Achtius: Resistance to brain MUDding is futile.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: We are electrical engineers of borg. Resistance is
            futile if less than 1 ohm.
-{Citizen}- Leshrak: Man
-{Citizen}- Leshrak: that was so nerdy it hurt
-{Citizen}- Rosuav grins
-{Citizen}- Valxe: I dream in text a lot
-{Citizen}- Achtius: I think my IQ just jumped to infinite virgin.
-{Citizen}- Grythael: Guys, I need a mudclient. - "Okay, get me an avocado,
            a toothpick and a snorkle."
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: What do you need the snorkle for?
-{Citizen}- Valxe: Hahah
-{Citizen}- Grythael: I think Valxe got the reference :P
-{Citizen}- Alumsaye: Macgyver
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: What did he do with those things?
-{Citizen}- Tartun: I got the reference, but the fact that the avocado and
            the toothpick are reasonable tools for building a mudclient to
            Rosuav is funnier.


-{Citizen}- Marah: I want everyone to know that Achtius is the most quiet,
            introverted person I've ever met. Barely knew he was here.
-{Citizen}- Marah snickers
-{Citizen}- Morvinia: hurkle and Sans were like that, at least until they
            had a few cons under their belts.
-{Citizen}- Morvinia: Then they started coming out.
-{Citizen}- Marah: God help us if he comes out anymore. I think that would
            involve dropping trou
-{Citizen}- Morvinia: Give Achtius a couple more cons and a few more drinks
            and he'll be just fine.
-{Citizen}- Morvinia winks at Achtius
-{Citizen}- Isaviel: wait...
-{Citizen}- Isaviel: achtius is quiet????
-{Citizen}- Marah: Yep.
-{Citizen}- Isaviel boggles at the concept
-{Citizen}- Marah: Extremely.
-{Citizen}- Isaviel: he certain isn't IC
-{Citizen}- Isaviel sticks her tongue out at Achtius
-{Citizen}- Marah: I think he is just really shy IRL.
-{Citizen}- Isaviel: how cute
-{Citizen}- Kashata: that IS cute
-{Citizen}- Kashata: Ill cuddle him as soon as possible
-{Citizen}- Kashata bonks Marah on the head.
-{Citizen}- Morvinia giggles
-{Citizen}- Morvinia bonks Kashata on the head.
-{Citizen}- Marah: Yea, he is so mousy and everything. He doesn't really
            have a wife either. He made all that up. Don't believe anything
            Dal or Ari says either. Especially about his kid or anything,
            all lies.
-{Citizen}- Marah: ...and he never wrestles the computer away and talks
            about himself. This is REALLY Marah now. Grrrrrrrr.
-{Citizen}- Morvinia giggles
-{Citizen}- Marah: The five people huddled around this laptop bet that you
            are all baffled atm
-{Citizen}- Rosuav agrees wholeheartedly.
-{Citizen}- Morvinia pokes Marah in the tummy
-{Citizen}- Morvinia pokes the other five people around her too
-{Citizen}- Morvinia: Where are the cookies? Any left? Did you save me any?
-{Citizen}- Marah: and Morvi, no. No cookies left. Achtius ate the last
            one. Greedy SOB
-{Citizen}- Morvinia sniffles
-{Citizen}- Morvinia: They ate all the ones I had here too.
-{Citizen}- Morvinia: So who are the five people around you/
-{Citizen}- Morvinia: Rosuav, Achtius...
-{Citizen}- Marah: I have Rosuav, Rosuav's brother, Achtius and Achtius'
            wife. And an imaginary fifth person
-{Citizen}- Zana: well at least the imaginary 5th person garauntees 100%
            deniability...so I applaud that idea.
-{Citizen}- Morvinia waves at the brother and wife.
-{Citizen}- Morvinia: I'd say screw the imaginary fifth person, but
            Sanskrista is here for that, so no need.


-{Citizen}- Achtius: Sorry, its a client thing.
-{Citizen}- Achtius: The only way to clear its huge long log that slow
            everything down is to shut it down then re-open it.
-{Citizen}- Deokoria: Likely story.
-{Citizen}- Achtius: Okay, my char just likes to faint before going out on
            any expeditions, it calms his nervous bladder
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: What client has a log that slows it down?
-{Citizen}- Achtius: Atlantis
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: I'll remember that, thanks


-{Citizen}- Aristotle: in 7 more years, it will be possible for a Threshbaby to
            actually play Threshold. Think about that!
-{Citizen}- Aristotle: that's not long!
-{Citizen}- Aristotle: ok new contest
-{Citizen}- Aristotle: the first person to meet their spouse on Threshold, have
            a baby, and have that baby old enough to play Threshold, gets
            ...... the power to mute anyone on citizen for 30 minutes,
            unlimited use.
-{Citizen}- Aristotle: but only 1 person can be muted at a time
-{Citizen}- Achtius: Can the child be adopted?
-{Citizen}- Aristotle: nope
-{Citizen}- Aristotle: it has to be hatched
> time

   ---------------------------------------------------
   The current time and date in the realm of Threshold
   ---------------------------------------------------

        It is the 7th of Thawing in the year 316.
             It is the hour of the 9th toll.

   ---------------------------------------------------
-{Citizen}- Yelena: I met and married Grantref and we had twins..they just need
            to get 18
-{Citizen}- Yelena: If I win the contest, since I have twins..do I get two
            mutes at a time?
-{Citizen}- Yelena grins
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Ari, does the husband, the wife, or the child get this
            muting power?
