<----- Check it out! I'm a "?...!" Cool!

Anyway, thanks for your kind words! Of course I will update if the SP wants to respond. Again, this may be so left field that the PMs may just ignore it (I would Wink

) But if they've got the gumption to run with the idea, it would be cool, I think. And if it turns into an axon-like grind, I take full responsibility. Laughing

But I think it would be a VERY cool plot twist, at the very least.

But thanks especially, to dragonrider for saying it's the kind of poetic stuff the SP would love... I was hoping for that effect!

-DM

edit: Oh man, I was only "?...!" for a little bit... now I'm entrenched. Oh well..

look at it this way, we're not 'competing armies', we're 2 different task forces united under the same goal, they're going to work on the "Melissa problem' and we'll be handling the "sleeping princess situation"

now this will require memo's, and meetings, and proactive team initiative, DM, fast-track an action item on that... uh... paradigm

(sorry, i work in an office, i hear that crap all day Rolling Eyes

)

i'm still of the mind that we need to unite the two together.... i think the Melissa team REALLY has to say that they've gathered intel and warn her about the Flea, try to convince her that he's the real threat and not the SP

for the SP, we need ranks like "valiant knight" and "loyal paladin"

Hey DM, that is the coolest idea I've seen yet! And I totally agree with you and Coffee... knights vs. hi-tech, it'd be just like Star Wars!!

I'm gonna hafta whip something up and send it to the SP too, as soon as I get the chance (at work right now Sad

).

Awesome idea!

EDIT: Holy axon, I'm "Decorated" now? Looks like I've been spending WAY too much time here. LOL!

Possible Slogans:

*Knight takes Queen. Rolling Eyes

*The Princess isn't sleeping anymore. Are YOU? Wink

*I've got an iron for a hand, and I'm proud of it! Twisted Evil

Man, this is fun!!!

like i said above about the "competition", we're really just 2 teams working for the same thing
thebruce said it himself in this thread:
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6672&start=15
the melissa team is composed of SPIES pretending to be Mel's crew... the last thing we want is for the Queen and Princess to get into an all-out brawl... i can only imagine the effects that would have

(with a name like CoffeeJedi, i guess i have to be a knight, huh?)
(daboking, you should get a pic of strong bad dressed as "the bee, like... from nature" from Halloween 2002)

CoffeeJedi, I'm only going to really take this as far as the PMs want to let out the rope. It's just a suggestion for a cool plot twist, but it's TOTALLY up to the PMs, and I'll be just as happy to be a sideline sitter waiting to see what Mel has her crew do... but I figured why not try for greatness, right? So... can I count you in as a honor knight? Or maybe you would prefer something less "notable." You could be a squiremaster, if you prefer, of course... Wink

Hey, sign me up. After Melissa decidedly ignored Boston for most of the axon hunting, I'm happy to just get more involved than I have been.

Though a point: sometimes the greatest villains are ones we can sympathize with--even if the Queen or the Princess ends up being a "bad guy", I think that in understanding the motivations of the both parties, they could not really be "evil" (at least, not the way they stand now). We understand that the Queen is lost and lonely, and the Princess is sad enough to develop Perdita's tragic story.
