We don't want to bump her off, just THREATEN bumping her off so that he'll work.

What other obligations does BC have? Work? Maybe we can get him to multitask two of his obligations — work, women, winning at civ — and free more time total. Like play civ at work, or gf likes civ. or gf at work.

 

[choxorn]

I doubt his boss will fly with the first and/or the third, and the second? No. If there's one fact in life, it's that (most) girls and video games don't mix, for reasons I will never understand.

 

[502nd PIR]

Yeah. A real shame too.

Ironically, the truth is that I wrote many episodes of this series AT WORK.

The current problem with that being that my workload has forty-three-upled due to a new account that was added to our list. It's not too bad during the night, but now that half my shifts are during the day, I can go an entire shift without having a single free moment to write updates.

Well, actually the sleep deprivation has something to do with it as well.

I know I got here late but, I just started reading and the most recent episode is not showing for me. If anyone else had this problem, help would be appreciated.

Days since last update: 192

Geez, the time you're taking is rivaling that of Sima Qian in Vegetarian Vengeance! You could at least re-upload the Update 43 pics that were deleted a month ago by the hacker, couldn't you?

hear here!
from a drunken soul in need of relief!
save the planet, kill ourself!

 

[Rodent]

Phew! Read the entire story in 1 sitting, Absolutely Amazing Basketcase ! I Want more as well

 

[CIV D]

Can someone tell me what happened in that last episode?
I can't see it on my computer

 

[choxorn]

That's why you can't see them, and why no one else can see them either. They haven't existed since they were deleted by a hacker in March.

Basically, what happened was Basket attacked an American city, and then happened. It happened a second time when he attacked with Drasha's Tank, and we've been left with that cliffhanger for the past 455 days. This has probably been the greatest update gap in the history of Stories and Tales, surpassing even Sima Qian's 1-year breaks in Vegetarian Vengeance and the really long waits in Celtic Peacekeepers.

...

I just read all of his stories and they are brilliant! I know it's been another half-year but I still want to hold out hope that this will some day be completed...please.

 

[choxorn]

Damn it! I saw the post and was hoping for an update!

 

[FuzzyDoom]

I was expecting someone to say that...still, thanks for explaining the last update. I about exploded when the pictures weren't there...

 

[choxorn]

Yeah. I'm exploding anyway, cause it's been more than a year since Uploads and Downloads was Hacked, and he still hasn't re-uploaded the pictures.

And we've waited for an update for 2 years now, there's that too.

 

[FuzzyDoom]

You poor poor person. How do you go on living without the conclusion to this story?

BTW, I read the first page of your story and I liked it.

 

[choxorn]

Meh, you don't get exaggeration.

 

[Dumanios]

You could always make up a conclusion...

 

[Sashie VII]

How do you go on living without the conclusion to this story?

I believe you answered your own question almost immediately.

 

[templar_x]

hey bc, you want another voice telling you he read though all of that in one sitting?


well, not me.
it took me THREE WEEKS, using little pauses at work, setting bookmarks, when i read through one page after the other.

now i am naturally pi**ed that Episode 43 -- Spear of Destiny is lost... probably to another one of those mighty spears.

that´s one incredible story. but don´t you think you somehow OWE me to at least get this last episode back online? doesn´t it make us like... brothers... that you are the worst laggard POSTING that story and i am the worst laggard READING it

i am just fooling around, that was a great time with your story and characters so far.

[choxorn]

Spear of Destiny is gone because Uploads and Downloads was hacked waaayyy back in March 2008, and Basket's been too lazy to re-upload it (or write a new chapter).
