Sleuth Home - Message Boards - The Gumshoe Lounge

Apr-1-2008 13:54

A thread in a message board in a mystery game on the internet in the 21st century (i.e. reality) about everything and nothing. Just a place to hang out when the cases are done and the addiction still lingers.

Welcome! Some things you should know:
1. You can't wander off topic, there isn't one.
2. Fighting or bickering will not be tolerated, as per the Code of Conduct.

3. Even though YOU happen to be a dear sweet gentle lamb, if your sleuth persona wants to fight or bicker "in character", it's STILL fighting and bickering.
4. Polite and passive aggressive fighting and bickering is STILL...etc etc.
5. Feel free to converse, emote, ramble, post in 3rd person or spanglish, whatever suits your fancy. It's unhijackable!

Kids today all have "child protective services" programmed into the speed dial of their cell phones.

I'm afraid I have to agree, Sophie. And not only that, but they also know how to use and abuse the system. I'm not a pessimist, really, just have seen some of the little darlings in action.

UGH!

You blasphemers! I spent a LOT of time on Anything and Nothing *sniffle*

Hmm... is it possible to have 2 unhijackable threads? This one and the Anything and Nothing thread? One would wonder if they can co-exist.
