The story of K.I.S.S

[Whomp]

I thought it might be good fun to tell a story of our game along the way. We have some mighty fine writers in this crew so I thought I'd throw it out there. One other thing we could do is invite Coinich or Vanadorn to be our official team historian/storyteller. Without the great storytelling in Mag 7+1 it would've been a really good SG. With the story it was a classic. Bugs and Bede.

What do you all think?

All for it

Sounds good to me. I think Coinich's been busy lately, though.

 

[soul_warrior]

great idea.
one of the GREATS would be highly desirable.
maybe ill take over the tale of Ave Joe....
see what happens....

I spoke with Coinich and his schedule is a little tight right now but he would be interested if we are patient. His story seems to be coming to a head as the Babylonians are in the process of routing the Mayans.

I received a PM from the great story teller Coinich. I think he will be joining Team K.I.S.S as our official storyteller!! For those of you who have not read World War I in 2051 it is probably the best story written by a CFCer IMO. I think Iroquois Plisken would concur.

Let the stories begin.

Hello all you idiots out there,

I bring you the warm and fraternal greetings of the Department of Historical Idiocy, of which I am the self-proclaimed chronicler of the history of the Celtic (we are Celts right?) peoples. I am pleased to be here, and grateful for the warm welcome. I will, over the next week or so - be trying to get a flavor for what's going on with all you idiots, and attempting to figure out how to chronicle the history of stupid decisions that have been made by the idiots in charge of this place. At this time I would not ask to be made a part of the turn process, but I may ask for some diplomatic duties, or a role in that environment, in the future. I have some perspective to give, based on what I've read.

Anyway - I'm here, and have been approved (thanks GA and Whomp).

Talk to you all later.

Coinich.

P.S. - Do I have my signature correct?

It is too long now. Please make it shorter that it doesn't exceed the 5 line-limit.

@Coinich
Good to have you aboard this ever growing ship of fools. I'm sure the history of the Celtic Idiots will be a terrific read

 

[gmaharriet]

Welcome, Coinich!!! Your reputation as a great writer precedes you, and I'm glad to get a chance to know you. I'm the grandma of all idiots...wisdom does not always come with age.

 

[Coinich]

Rik: Gracias amigo - fixed!

Dag: - This should be interesting to say the least

Harriet: A pleasure to meet you as well. I'm glad to be aboard this ship of fools... I mean idiots.

Coinich I feel we pulled quite a major coup getting you to tell our story. Take your time getting comfortable here. This is a great crew and as I've told many of them I wouldn't even trade them in for steam power.

I don't know where to start since each thread seems to have a life of it's own, as well as each of our posters. What do you expect from a bunch of anarchist idiots!

Here are a few threads I would recommend reading.
Diplomacy -- The human to human interaction goes here. This is not like talking to the AI! These guys are very unpredictable and in some cases volatile. You'll see our relationship with MIA and soon to be TNT (the bad guys already)
Beorn el Feared's summary thread --Capsulizes the important issues.
Tubby's geeks and numbers -- Amazing what Tubs comes up with. It's how we figured out the palace jump that was so controversial in the main thread.
Mapping the idiots-- A little about each of us.
Cartography Room--Where our best maps go.

Greetings Coinich!

If learning the nuances of our Idiodic culture escape you, one helpful trick I have observed in our group is to drink until it makes sense.

Welcome aboard.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Glad to see you've joined the Celtic side, Coinich!

Welcome!

 

[soul_warrior]

all hail prince Coinich of Arabia
welcome and Jah bless.

 

[Tubby Rower]

I'm humbled to be a part of a story that is written by the author of "World War I... in 2051 A.D.!?!?" Your creativity is amazing.

Welcome aboard

Hello all you idiots out there ... I I'm here, and have been approved (thanks GA and Whomp).
