ABR Discussion Thread XXVIII: Read it or Chris the celestial will set you on fire!

[kpenguin]

Can't... mibbit hates me

That's why I use chatzilla or IceChat.

[X2]

So how do I get Icechat to work?

[kpenguin]

You downloaded it,right?

[X2]

You downloaded it,right?

Duh...

[kpenguin]

Just /server irc.dalnet.net and then /join AvatarBattleRoyale

[X2]

It aint working man!

[kpenguin]

Tell me what you're doing and what happens when you do.

[X2]

Just never mind...

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Don't worry, we all have an archenemy.

Mine is Tiff.

*shoots an evil glare at Tiff*

You? My archenemy? Don't make me laugh.

You're a minor recurring villain at best.

*intercepts, taking the glare to the chest*

I... tried... You're safe now... Tiff...

My hero.

Exxcelent. Now, uh, I'm shooting Tiff. Better save her, DLB. Or Sean.

Did I set an orphanage on fire or something? Why are so many people after me?

Attention Abr'ers!

After much random banter, chatter and exchanging of links in the IRC. I, in my infinite wisdom had an idea which I passed around the Irc for opinions. And after much approval for my brilliant idea, I have decided to post it here in order to hear your ideas and comments.

Using a live video streaming site such as this one or similar we'd have a ABR movie night. One person (Me I guess?) would set up the channel and host the video/movies (which we have yet to select) and we would all watch said movies together.

Unlike Youtube or other normal streaming sites where one can pause, rewind or stop streams at our own individual conveniences. A live stream is one person playing the actual video, and everyone else watching it directly. Think of it like a webcam or a live online broadcast.

The details such as the time/date and our movie/show selection still needs to be worked out.

So post any suggestions, ideas and questions you have.

The idea has already seen quite a bit of positive responce. So I have pretty high hopes for the whole thing.

I already have the channel set up, all I need to do now is to get the right movies once the votes done with and we still need to figure out a good time for everyone.

Why was the IRC chanel set up .
Because I really can't be bothered to set it up and I feel like i'm missing a lot of stuff.

Too much spamming in the Discussion thread ?

[Calamity]

Too much spamming in the Discussion thread ?

Yes, this is the reason. We were buring through threds crazy fast and most of it was due to random banter, so the ABR IRC channel was born, as a countermeasure.

[CrimsonAngel]

TIFF! Dad took the computera few minutes after I started the castle game, send me the link again?

Also, I wouldn't mind seeing Bill an Ted's excellent/bogus adventure.

[X2]

If Back to the Future wins then I'll be joining. Because, tied with Evil Dead 2, it's my all time favourite movie.

[The Gremlin]

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or Star Wars Episode 1.
Also, I would prefer not to watch any scary movies. Raiders of the Lost Ark freaks me out. Sorry about that.
Finally, can this be on a Tuesday, at about 6:30? Only that's one of the few times I have a guaranteed free-for-all on the computer.

[kpenguin]

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Raiders of the Lost Ark

Consider that a vote.

Unfortunately, it was successful.
MURDERERS!

[Shades of Gray]

Woah... Shades... where have you been?

I...

I don't know.

We need to find a way to motivate the lazy writers. How bout we keep score?

Random Kill - 2 pts
Paperclip - 3 pts
Plot - 5 pts

Then at the end of a discussion thread we tally together the points and see who wins?

OR maybe we give people extra weight on their votes! For every 7 points, they count as one extra vote for any ABR vote, be it a true argument or what movie we watch.

I love it!

Although 7 seems like a strange number... let's make it 10.

Alright, sure. I made it seven because it had to be above 10. And this bonus lasts for the rest of the Discussion thread.
Of course, people can't be firebeavers and abuse this. Perhaps there should be a panel limit?
