I assume you mean the one by Michael Crichton and not the one by Arthur Conan Doyle, right?

Yes, I was referring to Michael Crichton's sequel to Jurassic Park, although I am a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work as well.

Being the adventurous type, I'm all for it. I've attended a similar convention before (but the community was older as were its members, it was smaller, and they were a lot less insane). It was great fun.

But I'd caution everyone that if we *do* meet anywhere, we would need a filled program of activities/sightseeing tours/excursions because otherwise we'll end up sitting in different corners of the room feeling bored, stupid and embarassed. And that'd be a waste.

Spiderweb cruise!

If we can list our AIM handles in our profile, I don't see how this would be any different.

My MSN handle is tyranicus@shadowvale.net, but I am rarely ever online.

Tyranicus -- Tyrannosaurus
There is a noted similarity between the two names. But the similarities run a little deeper than that. The large, lumbering Tyrannosaurus was king of the dinosaurs and the overweight Tyranicus is the ruler of the Spiderweb chats.

I'll be the first to admit that I could stand to lose a few pounds, but I object to being referred to as overweight. I'm on the border between healthy and overweight, actually. :P
Otherwise, it sounds good. :)

Edit: I refuse to admit that The Lost World was even a real movie. If you want a good story, read the book.
Edit2: So Megalosaurus was before Richard Owen's Iguanadons then? Hmmm... I guess it was. You learn something new every day.

It took longer than I originally thought it would, (reading 30-some chatlogs to edit for content takes a bit of time :P ) but the new and improved Spiderweb Chat Database is up here. It has many more chatlogs than before and now contains each log in both html and text format. I have also made a separate page for Blades chats. It can be found here. I have added two old Blades chats that I had never uploaded before for some reason. Blades chats are available in both formats as well.

DISCLAIMER: When I say that I edited these chats for content, I use the term edit in the loosest way possible. I am a firm believer in free speech and free expression. The only things I edit out are descriptions of illegal activities (e.g. software piracy) and severe attacks on members of this community. Anything else is fair play, so be warned that these chats certainly do not have a G rating.

More concerned about Premonition, FZ, BSC and also Rosycat. They've been gone for ages. Okay, Prem was here earlier this year.

Prem was on Polaris today, in fact.

I'm not sure what Salmon and Slarty are referring to, but I think that even the edited version of the chat is quite an interesting read.

When I played Baldur's Gate, I played it in a tunr-based style, actually. The game lets you change the settings to pause after each round.

The speed of the combat is based off D&D.

Don't forget The Last Saskatchewan Pirate by the Arrogant Worms.

I used to be a farmer and I made a livin' fine
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line
But times went by and though I tried the money wasn't there
And bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no
"Hire you now?" they always laughed, "We just let twenty go!"
The government they promised me a measly little sum
But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum
Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone
I'm going to be a pirate on the River Saskatchewan....
Arrrrrgh!

Cause it's a Heave! Ho! Hay! Ho! Comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a Ho! Hay! Hi! Hay! Farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

Well you'd think the local farmers would know that I'm at large
But just the other day I found an unprotected barge
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser
I rammed the ship and sank it and I stole their fertilizer
A bridge outside of Moosejaw spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are aquiver
'Cause they know that Tractor Jack is hiding in the bay
I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay

Cause it's a Heave! Ho! Hay! Ho! Comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a Ho! Hay! Hi! Hay! Farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

Well Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat
He'd follow on the shoreline but he didn't own a boat
But cutbacks were a comin' and the mountie lost his job
So now he's sailin' with me and we call him Salty Bob
A swingin' sword, a scull 'n' bones and pleasant company
I never pay my income tax and screw the G.S.T. (screw it!)
Prince Albert down to Saskatoon, the terror of the sea
If you want to reach the Co-op, boy, you gotta get by me!

Cause it's a Heave! Ho! Hay! Ho! Comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a Ho! Hay! Hi! Hay! Farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

Well pirate life's appealing but you don't just find it here
I've heard that in Alberta there's a band of buccaneers
They roam the Athabaska from Smith to Fort McKay
You're gonna lose your Stetson if you have to pass their way
Well winter is a comin' and a chill is in the breeze
My pirate days are over when the river starts to freeze
I'll be back in spring time, but now I have to go
I heard there's lots of plunderin' down in New Mexico

Cause it's a Heave! Ho! Hay! Ho! Comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a Ho! Hay! Hi! Hay! Farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

Sorry, but I prefer to use the html form because differing fonts and colors give each person their own touch. I use a silver background because the text all shows up on that. You design your site the way you want it, and leave me to design mine the way I want it. :P

I may at some point decide to upload both an html file and a text file for each chat. In fact that will probably be part of the site overhaul I have planned for either later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Pardon the double-post, but this is an update. Last night's chat is now available here. Reminder: Today's chat starts in 45 minutes from now.

Edit: Using HTML in an HTML-disabled forum doesn't quite get the job done. :P

But not to me.
Whoops, I forgot the Church of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow, and I don't really consider Cthulhuism to be a Spidweb church, but you're forgeting the Cult of Dikiyoba.
