Hmph.

I have pondered this idea for some time, and since the bboard has degraded into 'Buffy Reviews' and Chaser9's posting of...well, whatever the hell that was above...I will attempt to bring some sense adventure/excitement to this decaying, elderly bboard. So, I dare ask to you, my audience of students:

How many of you know of Rragnarok?

Yes...that's what I thought.

For those of you who are not enlightened in the realm of Norse Mythology, it is what most Christians would equate to the 'Apocalypse'. End Times. Death of the World.

The day Exec and VirtualDimension get 'sweet lovin' without the aide of the rest of the species in the animal kingdom.

Whatever you call it, according to the myth, Rragnarok is the day that the Gods Die. The destruction of the world as a result of a final conflict between the Norse Gods and Loki's army(mostly of consisting of him, his offspring, minions of the Norse 'Hel' and the half-breed frost giants).

Basically, everyone dies in a bloody Battle Royale, thus ending all grudges, stories, etc.

Where am I going with this? Well, unless you are the aforementioned posters above, I think you may have an idea of what I am driving at.

That's right, kids. I want to make an endtimes tale for this bboard. Only, I want a sort of---I have no idea what the proper name for it is so for lack of a better term, we'll call it--- "A Group Project".

I want us to end this world. And more importantly, I wish to read each of you kill yourselves, (in the literary sense that is)

If any of you give a rat's ass, I will post the start tale entitled 'Vance454 the Volsung', which lays the plans, sides, and background for the end-all-be-all tale.

If you wish to be a part, let me know. If you don't...do whatever the hell you wish, 'it ain't no nevermind to me'.

At any rate, this tale will be a more encompassing ballad than anything I have done. (Mainly because this one will reach a conclusion that I do not see, nor will I personally create) It will involve all of you, and it will bring about all of your deaths. However you want them.

What are the rules? Who knows. All I ask is that you keep within the realm (if you should undertake the literary challenge here) of just killling one person in your chapter. And that person is YOU.

Plain and simple. You write your own grandiose or mediocre finale in the play that is Rrganarok.

As for length, style, and all that junk. Whatever. I don't really care HOW you kill yourself, or how you depict it. If you screw up something, someone else will clean up your damn mess. And sides in the battle? Enh. Just take a sec to learn some Norse Mythology and you'll figure out who will be Odin (God) and who will be Loki(The Devil for those of you who need black and white). Once you learn those, you'll see which side you land on...and the most appropriate death for you.

Make sense?

....let's try to breathe some life into this board, as you slowly strangle out the life of yourself in the tale.

Sounds awesome, Z! I mean, as much of a shame it is that I can't write myself beheading a certain old-timer, it sounds like a lot of fun nonetheless. I'm already coming up with millions of ideas for my own death. (I'm currently leaning towards autoerotic asphyxiation during an über-lovin session... or an über-sexeng, one of the two.) WOOHOO!

By the way, dark...

Since there's no real better place to post this, here are a couple snippets from the upcoming Episode I was telling you about. Hope I did these guys justice!

*****

· O'Malley: "Aye, by the luck o' the Irish, I'm O'Malley, the token Irish superhero. If I dinnae have tae be such a drunken son of a bitch, all 'e women would love me Lucky Charms! I can disguise myself in any job ye can do dead drunk!"
· Sesamee: "Oh no... falling into trance... PAINFULLY... whining... about... degree... of... pain... AAAAARGH!!! ... ARGH-ARGH-AAAAARGH!!!"
· Chin: "I am Chin... Cantonese ninja and usa' of Ancient A'ts of the Orient."
· Minerva: "Minerva think Nicolas kind of cute. Minerva like sex DIRTY LIKE CAPITALIST PIG and kill many men during GLORIOUS ORGASM OF THE COMMUNIST PEOPLES!"

I'm all for this action. Is Necrophilia allowed? I want my corpse to get laid. Y'know, sorta like a christening into the realm beyond.

CoolSlider -- nice to see you again, dark!

Count me in

As one of the few people around here who know what RagnaRok is without an explanation how can I resist.

So I can't kill anyone else eh?
Hmm, now I need to decide who get's the honor of offing "The Hunter"
I've got an idea, and since my Ego allows me to see myself as either the Thor or Tyr of the board, well it'll be fun.

Also I like how you mention Loki as "The Devil for those who need Black & White"
Considering he was a pretty cool guy in the mythology.

ANyway, is there gonna be any mention of the 'after Ragnarok' from Norse Mythology, or is this simply the end?

This is better than I had expected.

I have superb writers undertaking this endeavor. I am sure that with the five of us...er four, if cappy is not partaking...we will create some truly fantastical and gruesome endings to people's lives here.

About the killing of others. Hell...screw it. You want to kill someone else, be my guest. It seems that we're on our own any damn way, so...

Kill whomever you wish, just as long as you take the plunge at the end of your chapter/tale. That's all I ask.

Although I have to say that 'vance454' has everyone in it, so if you are going to pull a Gacy, try to make the body count high.

I will post the story Monday. It's weird, but with your prospective skill levels, you should not have any trouble taking the lead and doing what you'd like.

I am confident that this will be, at the very least, fun.

And if I didn't have another bout of raging nightmares to follow me into my dreams, I'd be going to bed supremely happy.

This team is going to definately clear some ground together.

Look at me, I'm getting all weepy eyed.
--------------------
S,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHaAAAAA!!!
You never cease to amaze me, man! You crack me up. And Chin is the greatest super hero ALIVE.

Your talents are always a must, and this story would have been a bunch of nonsense without your expertise.

Am I ass kissing? Not if what I say is true. And it is.

This is our chance to finally practice a little thing called the "Art of Fighting without Fighting". Let's see how effective such an art can be.

Hell, if it worked for Bruce Lee...

---------------------
Cool,

Thanks, man. It's good to be back...even if it is just for this little thing.

I'm anxious to see whose life you extinguish and how. It will definately be a good read.

By the way, how've you been?

Necromancy? Work it, if that's what floats the boat.

----------------------
Hunter,

Excellent. Our first project together. I had a feeling you might have some knowledge of Ragnarok. Which is why I had hoped you'd partake in this little literary adventure. Plus, I've always wondered what kind of damage we could achieve together if the opportunity ever arose.

Let's make this interesting.

But I have to know...who were you planning to knock off?

Loki was indeed, one of the best Gods. Although I have always been partial to Balder. Yeah, I know...go figure.
-----------------------
Cappy,

Vengence is best. Try it now, with this tale.

Mercy against those who have wronged you is for the weak...and the dull.
-----------------------

Anyone else still interested in joining...AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE...consider this a personal invitation.

...the only fly in the ointment is that I'm not going to have much writing time for the next couple weeks. If that's not a problem and this is going to last longer than that, count me in! We already know how much I like to kill off board members.

I'll write ...

I was thinking about joining you in this project, but I'm not sure if my writing ability is up to the level needed to pull it off. When do you have to know for sure? I'll keep thinking about it. Let me know when the due date is.
