Anyway, because of size, I'll have to post it in two segments, so Lady and Sledge, don't get mad at me. Forum Wars Episode 2: The phpBB Wars About 2 years ago within the wires and cables of DSL, there lived a land of prosper and peace, spam and viruses. This mighty land was known to all as...The World Wide Web, or WWW for short. During this time, there lived a colony of peaceful going citizens within the Forum Land. These Forumers were known as the members of AC, hot-wired Big Wheelers hooked on the AC gas. These members of Forum Land roamed the World Wide Web for years. They ranted and orangekreiged under the watchful eyes of King Sledgstone and Queen Ladywriter. However, all was not peaceful in AC. You see, at this time, Their hosting provider was served by phpBB. Although they were a great provider, giving them sigs, avatars, and toast smilies, they were not giving enough bandwidth to handle the growing population of AC. More noobs were showing up every day, making AC overpopulated and too much for phpBB. So, in a desperate attempt to keep AC under control, Lord Ridic Ulous, the leader of phpBB, ordered the manufacture of BB Clones to handle this little problem. The BB Clones were trained to do one thing: ban troublemakers. That, unfortunately, was exactly what they did. They were banning noobs and active members by the minute, for petty reasons, such as their first double post or more than 5 smilies in one post. As such, the popularity of AC was decreasing, and the population of AC was on the edge of a knife. King Sledgstone and Queen Ladywriter knew their great kingdom would not last under the evil rule of Lord Ridic Ulous. What they wanted was freedom. What they feared was war. * * * However, their fear seemed imminent at the last Noblemen Council Meeting. As the admins and mods gathered around the Square Table, they discussed what to do. “It’s obvious what must be done!” explained Vincent. “We must go to war. It is AC’s only chance to survive!” “This is a Forum Land national crisis!” Dubird agreed. “If action is not taken, the kingdom of AC will fall. I fear it so.” “We must protect what we have loved for so long. We just can’t sit at our computers and let phpBB do this to us,” said Sabe. Both King Sledgstone and Queen Ladywriter knew what was going to happen: AC would be plunged into another war. That meant banned members, unfixable damage, and possible deletion from Forum Land. However, if they succeeded, they would once again be free. “Then it is settled then. We shall go to war with phpBB and end their tyranny,” King Sledgstone proclaimed. “We need to assemble an army of Schwartz warriors to go against the BB Clones,” Queen Ladywriter said. “Our fellow Noblemen, go into the Forums and find warriors fit to fight.” * * * And so, Vincent, Dubird, and Sabe set out to find warriors. The three original saviors of AC, DeathscytheX, Gundam-Ranger-X, and GundamFreakX, agreed to once again protect their homeland. However, all of them decided they would need more people for a battle such as this. So, they split into groups and picked different places to look. * * * “So, Vincent,” GRX asked, “what kind of people did you have in mind to protect AC?” “Well,” Vincent replied, as they searched the Rants and Raves/Issues section, “we need members who could put up a good fight.” “Well, we have plenty of members who could do that.” “No, I mean a really good fight. They won’t break away from the heat of the battle. They can fight to their last breath and still go on. They must be cunning, swift, fierce, and unstoppable.” As Vincent explained to GRX who they needed, they ran into the COBRA brothers and Strider Hiryu. “Vincent, are you thinking what I’m thinking?” “Oh yeah.” * * * DX and Dubird took a different path than Sabe and GRX. They went to the AC Photo Album. If they looked menacing, they had to be great warriors. “So, we need to find pictures of members. They must be menacing-looking or look like they are ready to fight,” Dubird explained. “Yeah, but who looks menacing?” As they searched the files, they found 2 people: Cabbit Girl and Saiel. “These are perfect,” DX replied. “Why?” Dubird asked, “Is it because Saiel is your lover?” “No, because they look ready to fight.” “You have to remember you love Saiel, and if she gets in danger, you might forget everything else and save her.” “She’ll be fine, Dubird.” “Fine,” Dubird sighed, “I guess we include her.” * * * Finally, Sabe and GFX searched the Random section. Almost everyone showed up in this section, so they were bound to find someone worthy. “See anyone yet?” GFX asked. “Nope, not yet,” Sabe said as he looked around. “Oh wait, look, there’s BlitzZ.” “Yeah, he’ll work. He’s great in the Role Playing section. We still need one more person, though.” As Sabe kept looking, he found CGRH-OneShotKill. “Hey, who’s that?” “Oh, that’s CGRH. He’s a friend of mine.” “Dude, that guy looks…abnormal. He looks like he’s about to kill someone.” “Oh, he always looks like that. Trust me.” “Hmm…maybe we should include him.” “Good idea. I’ll go talk to him.” * * * Later that day, at the castle of AC, the Noblemen returned with their warriors. As the new recruits saw how many members were assembled, they soon learned of how dangerous this was going to be. “Wow, there are a lot of people,” Strider Hiryu said. “Aw, sweet! They chose the COBRA brothers!” said Cabbit Girl. “So many people…what have I got myself into?” BlitzZ asked himself. The chatter continued to grow, and it was all the Noblemen could do to keep them calm. Finally, King Sledgstone and Queen Ladywriter came to quiet the crowd. “SILENCE!” Sledgstone yelled. With that, the room fell dead silent. All eyes were on the rulers of AC. Now they were about to receive what may be their last orders. “Now, everyone, you have all been assembled here for a very important reason. As you all may know, we have all been pressured by the horrible Lord Ridic Ulous and his horrible BB clones. He has made slaves of us all, and continues to ban members every day. Now the population of AC has reached a mere 200. We, Queen Ladywriter and I, have decided to go against phpBB and declare war. You, my dear members, have been chosen to be our Schwartz warriors. I won’t lie to you. Some of us may be banned in the battle. We may never our wonderful home or Forum Land again. However, if we are banned, we will be banned with honor. Of course, we will give you the option to leave. You don’t have to fight this battle.” “Why?” asked Strider Hiryu, “I came to fight some clones, kick some ass, and save AC. So, that’s what I’m going to do!” “Yeah! We’re in!” The COBRA brothers boomed. “Count me in!” Saiel cheered. Soon, everyone was yelling his or her acceptance. It seemed to the Noblemen, the Saviors, and the Rulers that they were all going to fight and give it their all for the sake of AC. “You in, too, CGRH?” GFX asked. “What do you think?” CGRH said. “Heh, I should’ve known. That’s why I picked you.” “All right then,” Sledge declared. “It’s settled. Our army of Schwartz warriors is ready. We will attack at dawn.” * * * Later that night, at the dinner table, the fellow Schwartz warriors were all sitting around together, enjoying what may be their last meal together or their last meal at all. They were all talking about something different, like how many he/she was going to kill, or others taking bets on who would get the highest number. Others were blabbing about receiving another trophy to add to their collection of prizes won from dead men killed by their own hands…which is fun, isn’t it? There were 2 people, however, having a different conversation amongst themselves in a more secluded spot. DX and Saiel, two great lovers from the world of AC, were having what may be their last conversation with each other. “You know I’m going to be worried about you when we’re there tomorrow,” DX said to her. “If that’s so,” she questioned, “then why did you let me come?” “I picked you because I knew you’d be all over my case or my corpse when I get back about not letting you come. Even though you look sexy when you’re angry, I don’t want you yelling after I had a tussle with a bunch of clones.” Our two lovers laughed together about the whole ordeal, each knowing in their heart that tonight may be their last. The hearts burned with the fear of losing the other. Love may never break, but the lovers do. “DX?” “Yes?” “Do one last thing for me…” With that, she reached for him and pressed her lips to his in a hot, passionate kiss that may be their last. It was only two minutes, but it seemed to last forever. “Oh, Saiel, if this is our last kiss, I’ll never forget it, even on the path to heaven.” “You better not, sweetie,” she said, giving him another kiss for good luck, and then heading to the dinner table.
