(11:11:41 PM) You have just entered room "bucketghosts."
(11:12:51 PM) S Astins Hacker has entered the room.
S Astins Hacker (11:13:18 PM): lol, Bucketghosts
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:13:56 PM): lol, all i could come up with for the moment
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:14:03 PM): gore's been invited for a few minutes now
S Astins Hacker (11:14:42 PM): He apparently didn't get it
(11:14:43 PM) GORE ILLA 117 has entered the room.
GORE ILLA 117 (11:14:46 PM): Whoa
S Astins Hacker (11:14:53 PM): HEYO
S Astins Hacker (11:15:15 PM): Golem, you should explain things so far, I think
S Astins Hacker (11:15:19 PM): You are good at explaining
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:15:21 PM): oh
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:15:22 PM): okay
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:15:22 PM): so
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:15:26 PM): we want an og about GHOSTS
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:15:45 PM): a realistic-ish og
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:15:47 PM): and fred, tyler, yami, and myself seems like a strong core for such an og
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:15:55 PM): the basic plot:
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:16:14 PM): fred's got a well-paid scientific-type job
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:16:30 PM): he wants to look into cloning ghosts for biological reasons or whatever hoohah works
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:16:35 PM): but of course no one believes in ghosts
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:16:42 PM): and it's kind of hard to find them
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:16:59 PM): basically, he can't do it on his own
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:17:07 PM): he tries to get his colleagues in on it, but can't
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:17:43 PM): he's just about to give up on it when he hears convenience store cashiers, played by tyler and yours truly, talking about ghosts
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:17:48 PM): and fred, being the mad scientist he is
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:18:03 PM): hires the convenience store cashiers to work for him as a part-time job on the side
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:18:20 PM): so it's about them running around to haunted houses and such looking for ghosts
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:18:26 PM): does uh, does that make sense
GORE ILLA 117 (11:19:09 PM): Oh yeah this chat's here
S Astins Hacker (11:19:59 PM): Yes it is
GORE ILLA 117 (11:20:01 PM): I can dog that
GORE ILLA 117 (11:20:08 PM): I can dig it too
S Astins Hacker (11:20:21 PM): You would play the Store Manager
S Astins Hacker (11:20:42 PM): And there would be subplots at the store to help break up the story so it won't be monotonous
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:21:50 PM): what kind though
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:21:53 PM): like haunty subplots
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:21:59 PM): or like we need to sell candy bars! subplots
S Astins Hacker (11:22:01 PM): Nah
S Astins Hacker (11:22:06 PM): Something to counteract
S Astins Hacker (11:22:13 PM): Maybe
S Astins Hacker (11:22:31 PM): It would generally be lighthearted subplots, I think
S Astins Hacker (11:23:10 PM): Everyday things like dealing with a customer who complains
S Astins Hacker (11:24:07 PM): Also, you could use the store as a meeting place for "mission statements" or something
GORE ILLA 117 (11:24:44 PM): The manager getting mad at Golem and Fred for going off on missions all the time ands avoding their work
S Astins Hacker (11:25:00 PM): Yeah, that could work too
S Astins Hacker (11:25:23 PM): Excuses like "Really long bathroom breaks"
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:28:37 PM): yeah, those lighthearted subplots sound good
S Astins Hacker (11:29:30 PM): And after a while, if the OG lasted as long (unlikely), we could incorporate even more every day life things into it
S Astins Hacker (11:29:39 PM): Like doctors appointments and such
S Astins Hacker (11:29:43 PM): maybe combine them
S Astins Hacker (11:29:46 PM): Go to the doctor
S Astins Hacker (11:29:57 PM): IT'S A HAUNTED OFFICE
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:30:24 PM): ooh
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:30:28 PM): that'd be cool
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:30:42 PM): turns out it's been the ghost that cured everyone who visits
GORE ILLA 117 (11:30:43 PM): Nice
S Astins Hacker (11:30:55 PM): Yeah that's good
S Astins Hacker (11:31:07 PM): So this would work well in an episodic format
S Astins Hacker (11:31:19 PM): Like a bunch of mini-OGs in one OG
S Astins Hacker (11:31:23 PM): I think, anyway
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:31:26 PM): maybe 15 posts an og?
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:31:32 PM): or each page would be a new plot
S Astins Hacker (11:31:41 PM): Don't give a limit
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:31:48 PM): just a guess
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:32:03 PM): you can get a feel for how long it should be
S Astins Hacker (11:32:05 PM): That might stretch something out too much, or might rush it too much
S Astins Hacker (11:32:22 PM): Yeah, I think you should keep in mind that it's going to be shorter
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:32:25 PM): i wrote every loophole post with the expectation of a case lasting 3-5 posts
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:32:38 PM): and it didn't really limit us but kept things in perspective
S Astins Hacker (11:32:42 PM): That does well, sure
S Astins Hacker (11:32:52 PM): Works for me
GORE ILLA 117 (11:33:55 PM): Yeah
GORE ILLA 117 (11:34:04 PM): I can feel a Loopholesque format
S Astins Hacker (11:36:32 PM): Here's an idea I like, though thanks to me, it may make things complicated
S Astins Hacker (11:36:58 PM): Discussing and working out the basic plot of each episode before we start actually posting it
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:37:10 PM): that could be good and bad
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:37:18 PM): it'd require regular communication which could gum up the works
S Astins Hacker (11:37:20 PM): Not doing dialogue or anything
S Astins Hacker (11:37:52 PM): hence, [20:36] S Astins Hacker: Here's an idea I like, though thanks to me, it may make things complicated
S Astins Hacker (11:38:08 PM): It's not necessary
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:38:14 PM): if we can, it'd help, yeah
S Astins Hacker (11:38:24 PM): maybe just do episodes like that whenever possible
S Astins Hacker (11:38:56 PM): Or
S Astins Hacker (11:40:33 PM): We could make a discussion topic to work out the plots in
S Astins Hacker (11:41:04 PM): And then when we have a full plot worked out, posting begins
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:41:27 PM): yeeeah
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:41:31 PM): a topic in the oger forum
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:41:37 PM): post your ghost og ideas here
S Astins Hacker (11:41:40 PM): Yeah
S Astins Hacker (11:41:55 PM): It would make it a slow moving OG
S Astins Hacker (11:41:59 PM): But better quality, IMO
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:42:17 PM): yeah
S Astins Hacker (11:45:26 PM): I think we're making some pretty awesome progress
S Astins Hacker (11:45:36 PM): this should be a good OG, I think (aka hope)
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:45:48 PM): it will be a good og
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:45:49 PM): if not a dead one
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:45:53 PM): it will be a ghost itself!
S Astins Hacker (11:46:23 PM): That is the curse of pretty much any OG I touch
S Astins Hacker (11:54:08 PM): Sooo
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:54:14 PM): sew
GORE ILLA 117 (11:54:16 PM): Sue
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:54:20 PM): think we can start it now or should we wait for yaumi
GORE ILLA 117 (11:54:56 PM): Do it
S Astins Hacker (11:54:56 PM): Completely forgot about Yami
S Astins Hacker (11:55:13 PM): I guess we could go ahead
(11:55:13 PM) yoshiyami has entered the room.
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:55:15 PM): =-O
S Astins Hacker (11:55:26 PM): Woo!
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:55:36 PM): we're thinking about an og where fred is a mad scientist
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:55:41 PM): he's trying to find ghosts so he can clone them
S Astins Hacker (11:55:56 PM): you could copy and paste
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:56:01 PM): his colleagues won't help him, but -- oh yeah
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:56:19 PM): he tries to get his colleagues in on it, but can't
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:56:27 PM): and he can't do it alone
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:56:28 PM): he's just about to give up on it when he hears convenience store cashiers, played by tyler and yours truly, talking about ghosts
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:56:48 PM): and fred, being the mad scientist he is, hires the convenience store cashiers to work for him as a part-time job on the side
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:56:53 PM): so it's about them running around to haunted houses and such looking for ghosts
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:56:58 PM): and possibly you being one of them
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:57:55 PM): an atheist theologian
S Astins Hacker (11:58:28 PM): Possibly a cynical about ghosts atheist Theologian
S Astins Hacker (11:58:38 PM): gotta go
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:58:41 PM): seeyaaa
(11:58:47 PM) S Astins Hacker has left the room.
Cheesetrooper 2 (11:59:19 PM): so yami, whaddaya think
yoshiyami (12:15:34 AM): post in FFOG3 instead
Cheesetrooper 2 (12:18:18 AM): :-X
Cheesetrooper 2 (12:18:24 AM): maybe i should read that
Cheesetrooper 2 (12:18:26 AM): what do you think

Nobody is interested, it would seem.

Except you. Hm, that's weird. Why would you be interested in something no one else is? Oh, that's right, it's because you're as esoteric as the word esoteric.

luv u

I kamehamay participate should this OG go into play. Kinoko could post, too >.> Then we'd need a character that's in a wheelchair and we could have the Real Ghostbusters :O

The wheelchair was from EXTREME Ghostbusters, which wasn't very good, from what little I remember. This is a story loosely based on the Ghostbusters films and cartoon. I say loosely because basically the only thing similar is that it starts with three people, and I got the idea from Ghostbusters nostalgia.

We were thinking about doing it episodically, a few posts per episode, and also discussing and coming up with the plot to each episode in this topic. It would make for a very slow-moving, but over-all much better quality OG, I think. Golem agrees, last I checked. If he would start posting some ideas for the first episode in here, we could get the ball rolling. What fun!

Oh, right right. the Real Ghostbusters was the good one that actually had the movie cast. Ironically, I never saw that one, only the Extreme Ghostbusters >.>

Wait, what? Why bring me into this?

Because I have a restraining order on Jed.

And you're our most profilic author.

That and you're our only active female author.

Wait, whaaaaaaaaaat?! Me, prolific?! And not just prolific... MOST prolific?!

Are you okay, Masa? :o

And what part would I play, Jed? :P

The woman. It makes more sense if you've seen Extreme Ghostbusters >.> The whole gimmick was that they were gonna be TOTALLY UNPREJUDICED! So, they had a white guy, a black guy, a hispanic guy, a woman, and a guy in a wheelchair. The formula for success. Only in the 90s could this be done >.>

Check it

I think I saw that show. Was that the show where the girl was like, extremely sensitive to ghosts/spirits and the like?

OH MAN I REMEMBER THAT SHOW NOW. LOL.

I dunno, probably >.> You remember the show better than I do ._.

Dohhh, sugar snaps. I totally forgots about this.

Anyway, I don't know if the origin story would be meaty enough for an entire episode. We should probably start with THE FIRST CASE or something.

Case 1: The Haunted Warehouse
Professor Buck and his two assisstants, who he met at a convenience store the other day, are now on the task of finding and researching ghosts. Their first lead from a poorly written newspaper article takes them to an abandoned warehouse. Is there really a ghost in here? What does Prof Buck plan to do, use a swab? Who knows?

How does that sound for episode 1? Also, I don't know what potential roles KoD and Kinoko would play. I guess, since Fred isn't here, we could replace Professor Fred Buck with either Jed Buck or Kinoko Buck. There's also the possibility of more assistants.

Also, Extreme Ghostbusters was okay, not bad I guess. I'd put it on par with the later Real Ghostbusters episodes.


someone found a sequel to "awesomeal"
