Boss has asked me to set aside time to chat w/ new IFILR members. If you have Gtalk (gnome talk obviously) add me at gnomeaticSPLATifilr.org.
25 minutes ago via HootSuite


I have a chat going right now. Will post in a second.

Quote:
7:22 PM me: death to the animates.

7:23 PM gnomeatic: Hello there!
How are you doing today? Do you have any questions today for this represent—oh, forget it.
Choamsky wanted me to follow this stupid script

me: this represent?
oh representative :/

gnomeatic: "This representative of the IFILR?"

7:24 PM me: hahaha

gnomeatic: Got any questions?

me: well, I'm curious: Operation Mobilize?

gnomeatic: Operation Mobilize?

me: yes, I've seen some kind of mission plan. it involves.... footwear....

7:25 PM gnomeatic: Hold on one second.

7:26 PM me: sure

gnomeatic: Okay, Choamsky isn't around. He's out touring the garden.
Where the heck did you hear about Mobilize?

me: you have a leak.
sort of.

gnomeatic: Really?

me: well, you know that human in the warehouse?

7:27 PM gnomeatic: Wait, we have a human in a warehouse? I knew about mobilize, but... not this.

me: Sad

gnomeatic: Oh man, I have to talk to Choamsky when he gets back.

me: uhm... so you don't know that the CEO of EnviroCorps is trapped in a warehouse?
possibly stuck in there with another gnome?

gnomeatic: Wait, other gnome
...oh god, Barrel.
This can't end well

me: I think it'sBarr--
why?
is Barrel... dangerous?

gnomeatic: Barrel is on the border of competence, let's just say that.
Have you seen his language capacities? It's atrocious!

me: yes, quite. but... I mean... does that translate into... "bad"?
how did barrel get stuck in that warehouse anyway?

7:29 PM gnomeatic: He's Barrel, it's a fact of life. He'll screw up anything that can be

me: you don't seem too.. fond of Choamsky either....

gnomeatic: CRAP I hear Choamsky coming back and there's some shouting
Gotta grab my recorder
brb

me: be careful!

[9 minutes]
7:39 PM gnomeatic: Oh man, that was one heck of an argument
I think it's best for Choamsky, though. I managed to record part of it and I'll post it up later tonight

me: who was he arguing with?

gnomeatic: Pyro and Isaiah. They convinced him to come to his senses. He's always been a bit too grand for himself...
Anyways, I must run. There's a bit of collateral damage, things thrown about the room and such.
I'll let you all know what happened in a little bit!

me: ok, nice talking to you.
heya... be careful w/ what i said about the human in the warehouse.
he's not a bad guy, i think.


edit: added remainder of chat.

edit2: aaand it looks like we'll be getting some kind of news tonight:

 		Just woke up from nap to see that I had a text from Richard. It said:
Great. Found a promising escape route. We'll see if that holds up.

I'm responding now.


Edit: Adding my text below.

Okay, be careful. It does appear that there is a gnome in the warehouse with you. Is there anything you need from us?



I haven't gotten a response, but I'll post it here when I do.

 		New message from Richard:

(In response to my previous message)
Not at the moment, no. I plant to go gnome hunting tonight. If this bugger is real, he might be my ticket out.


My reply:

Alright, just be careful. From what we know he's not very intelligent, and with a name like Barrel he could easily be dangerous.

 		My conversation with Richard throughout the day today

Quote:
me: Richard! Are you there? Are you okay? I saw the blog. Looked at the pages inside that briefcase. I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around this, but there is an organization called IFILR (Internation Front for Immediate Liberties and Rights). They're gnomes! All nomes! They have all this propagandacreated and they look highly organized. And if I'm understanding those papers you've uncovered, they're scheming something big. I'll try to dig up more info. Do you have any idea why gnomes would want to revolt?

Richard: I have no clue! I didn't even know gnomes could think until 36 hours ago.

me: Really, Richard? Are you sure there's nothing you're holding back? Look, if you want my help then you've got to level with me. EnviroCorp is a top manufacturor of garden gnomes. You're trapped inside a warehouse with them. They're alive. There is a newspaper clipping on their website about your disappearance. One of them left you a clue to open a safe. You have to know more than you're telling us. Please Richard.

Richard: No I don't, you bloody fool! I opened the safe with some help and I know nothing more than what people have helped me with.

Richard: Ah sorry for snapping on you like that...it's getting on two days stuck in here. Going to try to capture that gnome tonight, though.


So I just responded saying sorry if I sounded accusatory and asked how he plans to capture the gnome.

Well, then. I've got some big news for you all. Choamsky is going to take a little break. Take a listen up on the blog.


New blog post including a recording with rambling about: Barrel, secret info, creating a gnome military, human gnome production facilities, and Operation Mobilize. Also, they talk about Richard being locked up in the warehouse.

We are also going to have to help Choamsky to travel the world...

 		new blog post, I think we can all see where this is going:


Quote:
Here's a letter from boss about everything that went down yesterday. I'd recommend you all read it. I'm following up with my part (the signup sheet) once I finish it in a few hours. —Gnomeatic
Transcript:
Hello there, it's Gnome Choamsky.
A few of my colleagues have convinced me to take a few weeks leave from my job as IFILR president. After some careful deliberation, I feel this will be best for both the organization and me personally. I was getting too caught up with my work and that, well, took its toll. I will retire for a few weeks to consider the future, as well as take a short vacation.
Now here's where I was hoping to get some help from you new IFILR members, both animates and inanimates alike. As you know, gnomes aren't welcome in many areas of the human world, especially commercial aviation. As it has been suggested to me, I would like to tour this country and see what it really has to offer, besides cruelty to gnomes.
Therefore, I would like to ask of you, friends, to help me with my endeavor. If you could be as kind as to host me for a day or two at a time, that would be wonderful. It will give me a chance to meet you and to meet our country.
As per our treasurer's request, I shall be traveling by human freight services, as it is the most economical. My assistant, Gnomeatic, will create a signup sheet.
Thank you.


i don't see the signup sheet yet.

I'll sign up. I'll even do my best not to drop the little fella. I wonder if they'd let me take a garden gnome on a rollercoaster at six flags?

 		Hmm... I hope Choamsky doesn't mind traveling by parcel post sometimes. The last time I signed up for a hand-off/delivery sucked.

If you do, I'd be happy to do meet up and hand off. Even split the cost to ship back. Dealies?
