LOG OF "FOUNDERS' DAY" EVENT 9/27/2008
Charter Park(#65RLJ)
Although a generic park for the most part, the charter of
Spindizzy is illustrated here, for all to read.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
>From We, the furs of DreamTime to those of Toons Furr & Fluff, Greetings.
We present this beginning to you in the spirit of our mutual endeavour:
The exploration and sharing of creativity and imagination in a world to
which the limitations of our 'Real Lives' are unknown. It is in such
communities as these that together we may find a means of expressing our
hopes, our dreams, and all those beautiful and rich inventions of the
soul too often stifled beneath grim reality. We wish you many happy
years of fantastic stories, improbable inventions, and plain old
silliness. We charge you to take the lessons and joys of this dream
world and with them, make the real world a better place:
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Our love and best wishes to you all.
Morning clouds dot the cyan sky. The sun is not clearly visible. Call it 8 am, 'solar' time.

Jaxen hugs you!
Skyler says, "Well, actually, I don't know, having just gotten here. :)"
Austin says, "Clearly, we're quite impressionable."

Andreas nods.
Shoe goes home.

BunnyHugger looks curiously at Shizuka, but falls quiet to listen.
Morticon [OOC] I suggest people keep public conversations to a minimum during the ceremonies. But you can whisper and page. :)

Dragonfly buzzes it's wings.
Portia lilts, "As you may recall during the elections for Mayor, I made a point of wanting to develop special holidays for Spindizzians to come together in good well, wishes, and celebration.

Austin says, "Well, again, thank you."
Offipso perks his ears.
Offipso says, "Wow."
You whisper, "Sorry, but please keep it to whispers or pages, kinda a speech with the event going on right now" to Offipso.
Austin says, "It was, as we've been saying, a decade ago that many of the people who had been on and had been making so raucous the rejuvenated muck Toons, Furr, and Fluff, staggered out in shock and dismay at the crashing and destruction of that place. It wasn't at all clear in those early moments what should be done and whether we should even try to rebuild again."
Zoie clicks her digital recorder once and clicks it back on for the next speech.
Offipso whispers, "Offipso perks his ears. "Whoops. Thanks. *grin*"" to you.
Jackpot is glommed down and swept away by a plastic hippopotamus mouth.
Jackpot has left.
PatchO'Black wanders out of the shadows.
PatchO'Black has arrived.
Austin says, "But, I suppose before we could really think about whether we could come to love a new place, Findra and Skyler and several people who aren't around anymore had started out with a new database and got our wizards --- nearly the same people who are still wizards, remarkably --- and core players together to start building a new place."
You whisper, "a speech is going on sweetie *as she puts two fingers to her lips, a digital recorder in her other hand as she records the speech" to PatchO'Black.
Roofus_roo wanders out of the shadows.
Findra smiles and wiggles her tail.
Austin says, "Over the first few days we started thinking of what to rebuild, what to presere, what to do completely differently, and we kept finding that nearly everyone who had been with us wanted to be part in building this new place."
B.J. nods.
Austin says, "Within about two weeks we'd had a dozen or more people connecting regularly, building, socializing, forming plots and planning events, and trying to locate all the people who'd been scattered. We were still finding people who knew Toons, Furr, and Fluff had crashed, but not that it had been resurrected, years later."
Austin says, "We'd had an idea of a preliminary construction period and then set a Grand Opening date for sometime in October, although we were busy enough working on the place that we set that off a bit, and then a bit longer, and a bit longer still. We started to form new traditions, like the Christmas Tree, and new muck customs and experiments, and somehow never quite got around to the proper Grand Opening."
Nigel whispers, "So technically we could still stage a Grand Opening...?" a bit too loud and gets elbowed in the ribs by someone.
Findra snickers.
Shiro giggles.
Nyni giggles, then climbs atop Roofus's head to listen.
Austin says, "At some point it became moot. We are, in a way, all the founders: what we do and what we share and what we inspire will come to influence us for as long as we are. It has been observed many times that becoming a Spindizzy regular tends to make a person more intently, more distinctly themselves, and I believe that reflects how we are all in the process yet of re-creating ourselves and each other."
Flossi wanders out of the shadows.
Austin says, "On this anniversary I hope we can ask everyone to think again of the loveliness and the dreams which the charter speaks of, and to bring into action the community that inspires us."
Austin says, "Thank you."
Austin settles down on all fours.
Leowulf applauds.
Portia claps and climbs back up to the stage,"Thank you Austin."
Roofus_roo yaays.
PatchO'Black applaudes.
Austin smiles and hops off stage.
( a loud applause and cheers greet the end of the speech )
BunnyHugger holds her forelegs out to embrace Austin.
Shiro smiles as he applaudes and his tail wags lightly.
Flossi exclaims, "Huzzah!"
Mischa says, "Yaaaay!"
Zoie clicks off her recorder and clicks again for the next speaker
Findra grins and wiggles at Austin. :)
Portia lilts, "That was a very moving and informative history of the founding of this great place."
Cress stands on tiptoe to see through the crowd while she applauds.
Austin grins and squeezes BunnyHugger. "Thank you."
Skyler claps. "Thank you, Austin."
Leslie giggles.
BunnyHugger kisses Austin's muzzle and then turns her attention back forward.
Portia lilts, "Now, I'd like you all to sit back and enjoy the presentation that Morticon has prepared to commemorate this fine occasion. Please keep all of your comments and discussions to a bare minimum as it may interfere with the presentation. Thank you. "
Beltrami nodnods.
Morticon gets up, and hops up to the stage.
Portia moves off the stage and take a seat.
Morticon says, "I can't really top the speech given by Austin, and he's right really.. we're all founders. This day is not to honor any small, particular group of people. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if no one actually names who the founders actually are. But those out there, you know who you are, even if you're not currently connected."
DavDragon has arrived.
Morticon says, "Anyway... in place of the fireworks that I didn't do this year, I decided to make an experimental presentation. Note that it's experimental, and try not to take it too seriously. It's about 12 'slides', so 6 minutes. I'll let you know before I paste one out, and when it's displaying, please try and keep quiet until it has fully displayed, and then you're welcome to comment before the next slide begins. It's on manual, so I'll try and wait until the commentary has more or less stopped."
Morticon says, "Before we start, make sure you have color on! @set me=C and then type 'colortest' to doublecheck."
Flag set.
Color Test!
Morticon says, "And without further adeiu...."
Morticon pastes the next slide....

B.J. says, "...A beach ball?"
Jimun is now glad he set up his client to preserve color codes in the logfiles.
Nyni o.o, "It's a Beholder!... I think."
Morticon says, "And to answer that question...."

Offipso says, "It's the giant spider eyeball from SimCity 2000! *ducks*"
Flossi exclaims, "@WHO is Number One?"
Nigel says, "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
Shiro giggles as his tail wags.
Morticon says, "Or maybe from Giant Robo."
Wind-Dancer says, "It's Sauron."
Nyni hides bheinds Findra.
BunnyHugger says, "Saurian?"
Morticon says, "Or the Eye of Austin."

Jimun hides behind Nyni!
Mischa says, "The Eye of Argon!"
Morticon pastes the next screen.....
BunnyHugger mumbles "Perhaps ... ... ... it hasn't tried ... ... to me ...", to Findra.
DavDragon says, "#1 is apparently Amalfi"
Royce churrs, "It's an orb from the Manhunter games! I wonder if anyone else ever played those..."
Don't be silly!

Morticon says, "A little cheesy.... and yes, it was nonsensical! So, I guess I should get on to the real part of the presentation."
Nigel says, "They say that the lady of the lake now lives in a fountain somewhere...."
Findra grins.
Jimun has played Manhunter!
( a few confused sounds and snickers come from the crowd )
Morticon says, "It looks kinda like the fountain, if you step back 200 feet."
Findra whistles, "You have to watch out for the fountain's weather balloons, though."
Royce oohs at Jimun. "I'm sorry."
Than oooohs, and claps!
Morticon pastes the next screen....

Portia giggles at that.
Leowulf snickers.
Findra gigglesqueaks.
B.J. chuckles. "Well - it turned out there was no need to panic after all."
Morticon says, "He actually did say something like that, as the databae was ripped out from under us."
BunnyHugger pets Austin.
Cress grins...
Tzolkin hehs.
BunnyHugger says, "He was right, wasn't he?"
PatchO'Black goes over and hugs Austin. Have you hugged your local coati today?
Morticon says, "Soon we could only use the in-server pose command."
Morticon says, "Very."
Morticon says, "And the server wasn't struck my lightning, though it might as well have been."
Morticon pastes the next screen....
Austin says, "It sounds a great deal like me."
A small muck gave us a starting database from which to build...

Morticon says, "And yes, our mail software is 12 years old."
B.J. says, "Hey, if it ain't broke..."
Findra whistles, "There's not much in a default database, no."
Offipso feels a bit nostalgic, even though he never knew any of this. :)
Morticon grins, "it kinda is broke, but not broke enough."
Royce assumes this is going to be put in the paper? It's really not working out for him here.
B.J. says, "Good enough. :>"
Morticon says, "I think we got bonus programs not in the default database, so it was a little better than scratch."
Royce churrs, "The main thing seems to work just fine to me."
Morticon nods at Royce. "I can work with the videographer to get screenshots, I think.

Morticon says, "It did. :)"

Wind-Dancer grins and noses back.

Portia closes her eyes and thinks to herself.
Tzolkin mewws.. remembers people.
Zen wanders out of the shadows.
Holmes has disconnected.
Morticon pastes the next screen, after giving people a moment to reflect....
...and look forward to what the future brings! The future of SpinDizzy
is in your hands (or paws)!

In a page-pose to you, Gilead hugs!
Shizuka has connected.
Flossi's paws appear to be rooting underneath the server for something.
You page-pose, "Zoie puts two fingers to your lips as a presentation is going on at the charter park" to Gilead.
Morticon pastes the next screen.....
You page, "founder's day event" to Gilead.

Tzolkin giggles.
Jimun yays. ^^
Portia claps and yays for Fireworks. They make everything better!
Gilead wanders out of the shadows.
Gilead nuzzles!
Shiro chuckles.
Leowulf says, "OOOH, Ahhhh. *grin*"

Findra squeaks and grins toothily. Yay! :)
Cress ooohs...she stares up at the screen, wide-eyed.
Jimun applauds with his upper paws!
( grins and laughter erupt at the fireworks and then great applause as "fin" appears" )
Portia claps for the presentation and stands back up to take the stage once more.
Findra whistles, "You missed off the 'dra', though. :)"
B.J. chuckles.
Roofus_roo claps.
Holmes says, "Thank you. That was... moderately edifying."
Lou vittervits.
Leowulf snickers, and claps.
Skyler says, "Thank you, Morticon!"
Cadge-Tuesday chitterflicks.
Flossi looks up at the fireworks, while she continues to root around under the server.
Morticon snickers. "I've been cheating the past few years, using an ascii-art program. Some of it is pre-built fonts, some of that is clip art that it comes with, and other is from me. And that's all there is! An interesting experiment I'll try and improve upon for whenever I do another one of these."
Leowulf says, "OK, now I have GOT to get dim colors turned up somehow."
Findra whistles, "Thank you! That was very well done, Morticon!"
Beltrami grins! She claps and she bows to Morticon.
Wind-Dancer claps :)
Portia lilts, "Thank you, Morticon. This was truely enjoyable."
Morticon says, "But I have to color it manually. It can take a while."
Portia seems very very proud of her walllaby.
Gilead smiles.
Austin says, "Thank you, Morticon."
Morticon grins and is in the shadows! Can you see him?
Andreas applauds.
Leslie giggles!
Than yays!!! "Thankie lots Unka Morti!!"
DavDragon murrrrrms? curiously after watching the whole slide show
Gilead chirps, "Wouldn't it be easier to just infect us all with a virus that takes out the cone cells in the eyes of species that have them?"
Crash smiles as he applauds "Quite impressive"
Morticon says, "Yes."
DavDragon says, "..I wish an old dragon muck would have ressurected like SpinDizzy did"
B.J. says, "Old dragon Muck? Which one?"
Shiro growls, "It was a nice event, but I should go to bed soon."
Shiro yawns.
Nigel mmmns, "Alfandria?"
Zen squeeks and hmms... and nuzzles around... <3
Jimun hugs a Zen.
DavDragon nods to Nigel
Shizuka hmphs under Morticon. "... It looked impressive."
Morticon sits back down at Shizuka.
DavDragon says, "B.J. it was Alfandria"
Morticon grins.
Andreas hugs Shiro.
Gilead chirps, "Fierceness and Firebreathing?"
Shizuka oofs!
DavDragon misses that place deeply.. over a decade of dragon's work
Andreas yips, "Come along honey."
Andreas is glommed down and swept away by a plastic hippopotamus mouth.
Andreas has left.
Shiro goes home.
Shiro has left.
Gilead chirps, "That's like a few minutes in human years."
B.J. nods... "I had a character there for a little while. I remember because it was the first time anyone ever 'glomp'ed me and I had no idea what that meant. I thought someone was trying to swallow me whole."
DavDragon says, "we had a dragon statue there that actually kept real life obituaries of dragonkin who passed away"
Beltrami blinks and nods to DavDragon?
Gilead glomps B.J.!
BunnyHugger giggles.
Skyler says, "You mean that's not what it means? ;)"
Nigel says, "The Alt.fan.dragons Muck. W--er, they used to also have a chat room, but--oh, we should hush, yes?"
Portia lilts, "Thank you all for attending this celebration of Founder's Day and I look forward to seeing what we can all come up with for next year. I hope you all enjoyed tonight's presentation. Thank you and good night.
