GUN room>
Spur
Oksy, we need to come up with ideas for stories.
Pasha Naini
Ok, this room is for like discusing changes and BS like that for the paper itself....I don't know how to enter an actual hallway so I made the next best thing...a room...ANyway, when the hallway comes, I say we use this room for "voting" on stuff...Is that OK with everybody else?
Roya
It is most certainly Ola Kala with me...
Spur
Joint effort. I just called Fireside, left mail asking for articles. Plus, I offered to give anyone in the nation a copyu if they wanted, through the BBS system, so they can print it and distribute it rfreely. If we could get this nationwide, wow!
Spur
Okay, what hall is hidden off of this room, anyways?
James T Kirk
OKay, the hall's there.
Spur
SDo we still want this room then?
Pasha Naini
Well, Isis mentioned something about an underground Video Catalog at the library that students didn't have acess to...Either video or books...I'm thinking of what I want to write about still...
James T Kirk
Okay, I Can copy a max of 300 pages per month. And the toner is taken care of, All we need to get is the paper. How many pages do you think it'll be? And how many copys of the paper will we need?
Monty
i can copy unlimited, i am a ta and know my teachers acess code
Scorpion
I kinda know what I want to write about...
James T Kirk
Hay Scorp, I've got a graphics programe that'll make really nice looking papers, I'm gunna put a save file here, D/l it and see if your programe will take it, okay? I know the chances of that are real slim, btu who knows.
James T Kirk
Okay, this is now a dir room, You can u/l stories here if ya want. And you can view any of um online with ".lt" at the prompt.
Italian Stallion
Just how many ways are there to getr here?
Italian Stallion
fucker
Spur
double fucker, with nuts and a cherry on top.
Pasha Naini
Well ok, then, lets all get out shit together and start writing some articles!
Roya
Hey...I've got an article in the works...probablly get it done tonight...I don't know....Lot's of homework...
Spur
I would write if I had an idea.
James T Kirk
same with me, I'm not good at writing. Roya, when ya get it writen, u/l it in this room as an askii file.
James T Kirk
Yea, me too. Hay Roya, when ya get it done u/l it here okay?
Shane
ok folks, if you ask me, GUN sounds kinda lame... I think for the title page, the first three letters shouldn't be stressed... just simple black print on white page, like a BEER can. GENERIC UNDERGROUND NEWSPAPER.
Spur
Yeah, tha's cool.
Pasha Naini
Ya, I think that's better..GUN makes it sound like we're all gun users or something...It could be just me..I guess it is....
Roya
I think that's a good idea.. It'd sound kinda weird if it were just plain GUN...
Roya
Hey! I just thought of another possible name for the paper....How about......
THE UNDERGROUND.......?
Shane
but it's just so NEAT.
Spur
Uhh.
Roya
Oh...well...just a suggestion...I'm fine with the name both ways....
Shane
NO GUN. just plain "Generic Underground Newspaper".
Scorpion
sounds good to me
Scorpion
Why is the GUN room in the maintaince hall?
Isis
everything is in the maintaince hall.
Pasha Naini
How about "Alternative Outlook"?
Shane
hey, I like that... better than gun.
with the lights out, it's less dangerous
here we are now, ENTERTAIN US!!
I feel stupid, and contagious
here we are now, ENTERTAIN US!!
a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
yay.... yay....
I'm worse at what I do best
and for this gift I feel blessed
I found it hard, it was hard to find,
oh well, whatever, NEVERMIND.
so what if one verse is mixed with another?
Zied
so, well I here, okay well I could give you guys the numberous articles i have writen for avant guard eh? but they are long, are we gonna just put em up?
Monty
i can give you nothing, but my brother wrote for the avant-guard, which mind you is one fucking word, but he might write something, if i pay him
Italian Stallion
que esta avant-guard va?
Italian Stallion
is this going to be the official room for this magazine...you guys need to get more organized here...and maybe this is someplace you shouldn't let yerself get off of the subject.
Gun is too 2nd amendment....alternative outlook is kinda cool but it lacks origianility...the original "generic, undergound, magazine idea is good but it won't go good with "gun" (ratt-tatt) (no audin, a mac 10 is not a computer, its resembles an uzi except it kicks more, fires fewer shots, is not as "user friendly"(so you understand) but its also more powerful (bigger caliber weapon)...
(btw-it illegal here now cause I think they're all automatic)
dudes...come up with a topic base....or at least an attitude.
I don't have any suggestions as far as titles...but in my opinion you should search for a title more thoroughly.
Spur
I still like F/O"F/O". Generic, short, easy to remember, distinctive. And yes, we can't have a bunch of essays, we need ATTITUDE. Either right wing fundamentalist crap bullshit or leftwing radical anarchist articles. Probably it'd be cool if we had both in the same newspaper.
Roya
Ok...well...if you wanna not use my stupid article...that's fine with me....I'll try to make 'em more opinionated next time.....Actually, that's what I started out doing...but it sort of fell from there....If somone wants to change mine around...they are certainly welcome...
James T Kirk
I know a MAC 10 isn't a computer. But, we just need more articals, all we have is Roya's. If we get a bunch of um, then we can just weed out the bad ones.
Shane
we would have both in the same paper... I vary from right wing to left wing... I move that we make the name of the paper a simple F/O (without an explanation... people WILL understand. actually, I suppose you could say this a second, since spur said so first... so, do we take a vote on it?
as for attitude, I will write some of my stuff with the intention of pissing people off... if you ask me, there's no better way to get a paper off the ground.
I also move that we keep everything in the paper anon, unless requested otherwise by the author...
James T Kirk
Good idea. I'm just putting the stories in the paper like thay come in the files, no editing.
Isis
I've been having trouble resurching my topic. BTW, it would probably be best to write all these things annonimously (once they are printed) and just have everyone's name in the back as people to contact.
Shane
if we plan on writing things that will make people mad, anon is definitely suggested... I don't think any of us wants to be in that jim quigg situation..
James T Kirk
I think we shuld use handles.
Spur
Hopefully, I'll be gettin replies from the net sometime soon...
Pasha Naini
Anonimity will gurantee us freedom from the administration as well...Oh yeah,this kid I wrote a message to in GERMANY sez his friends are doing the same thing at his school, so I said that if he wanted to to write up some of the articles for us....But don't DEPEND on him....It takes like 5 days to hear back from people on the other side of the planet...
Roya
I like the idea of using the Handles in our newspaper...
James T Kirk
yea, there not well known outside the "Modeming Culture". (haha)
Pasha Naini
How about NO names? THat way, nobody cares...They read what they want without biasing the articles...
Shane
I agree... handles aren't a good idea.
cyrus aman
COOL. I think I'll just send in my Sexism at Bob's Ice Cream article (Bree Oatman didn't want it in "too incomplete").
Spur
That's cool.
Zied
it's also cool that bree didn't want it, but that's another story.

Comments: fuck you
Zied
shit guys, text files are too fucked up, I'm just gonna post 'em in my own little room okay?
Italian Stallion
if you use handles don't use a modeming handles.... use a "author" handle...and you would want to keep them the same for e4very issue(obviously) and if you want more anon then jsut put "the authors" in a section called "contributors" and add everyojne involved there..(printer, editor, authors, money donors) that way everyone gets credit and no one get's mlamed and no one can be traced to a certain article (except internally, which is why they're called "internal affairs").....
maybe you should set up a seperate board for the magazine? that way the author and modem handles can be the same there but not be connected to this board? you could make it like a "secret" board, accesible only by those who know how to get there from this board? just an idea. (it would alow for better organiziation and easier handling of "paper related things like text files and bulletins...etc) agian...just an idea.
alos...if ou want ot make it both "left, and right" you should have columns doing pro-con type stuff..that always works well..its the one thing the outlook is actually kinda interesting with....but that should not be the whole volume of hte paper...it could be the basis for it..but you'll need alot mre...)
Italian Stallion
(geez.. I got another call and had to type that whole thing twice..word for word...)
James T Kirk
I've been thinking of setting up a sub-board. I could put up one for The paper, I could use a menu based thing with nice file areas. and make it accessable from a Group-Only room on this board.
Italian Stallion
you have at least on "yea" vote here.
Roya
Good idea....Also...I was just thinking about the paper, and realized that even if we don't have any names of handles or anything, SOMEBODY still has to actually HAND the papers out to anybody that wants one....So...how are we going to solve this problem?
James T Kirk
Hmm, that could be a problem. Well, I'll get started on the board, anyone have any suggestions on the program to use?
James T Kirk
Althow, WILDCAT! is out...
Chris Serface
Let's just do a brainstorm session one of these days, then we can answer these questions and many more
Zied
don't worry about handing 'em out, avant guard paved the way for us.
Spur
Fuck, I'll ahnd em all out if you want
Roya
Well...I'll hand them out too...but it's just that if were going to be anonymos, then...well...I don't know, it won't be that anonymons...
Pasha Naini
Ok, I didn't want to tell anybody this, cause it was going to be a suprise, but NEAT BBS is going to run under Cyberlink....Maybe, if you want, you could use that...?
Shane
I had a hunch about that.... it will be cool. we could form a couple of message bases there dealing with the paper. I for one will be happy to see neat bbs back... even if it does tie up the line longer.
Italian Stallion
just put little stacks of the mag around..people will pick them up...matter a..nevermind
Italian Stallion
just put little stacks of the mag around...people will pick them up.
Spur
I've had several replies from the net. Only one specific, a guy who's gonna write about how stupid the motor voter bill is, but another guy in college who had a underground newspaper called Bullsheets while he was in HS, now he's majoring in journalism, and two other dudes, all of which will want a copy of the newspaper when it's done. I can maybe even convince them to distribute it in their area when they've got a copy. One guy offered to give me a copy of a underground newspaper he and his friends have been working on, we can maybe get some articles from there.
Pasha Naini
I'm not sure though...Its up to Lucas...He has the BBS (35 disks) at his house...
James T Kirk
I'd be glad to run it. Can it be run as a door? How big is this bbs??
Shane
NEAT. hey, SUPPORT THE MOTOR VOTER BILL. that guy who opposes it is a freak.
Spur
Who cares. I wanna get an article from him anyways and see what he says. We'll accept fundamentalist christian new right shit too won't we? It'll make it more interesting/
Zied
what the fuck is the motor voter bill anyway?
Zied
roya what the hell was that supposed to be? well basicly I've got a couple of things to say about it, first it reads like a story for a 4th grader, second it's really anonying, third if you can barely get us to read it, dream on about someone reading the paper trying to get through it, and finally it has no point no plot and why did the spell have no effect?
Spur
Zied, yer a geek, you're too critical.
Roya
Zied.....(I've got that You-look-like-a-complete-idiot-face on right now)... First of all...I wanted it to be read like a 4th grader to make it appear on the outside of how simple in may appear...second...It's SUPPOSED to be annoying...Just to bug YOU.....Third...If people don't want to take the time to read this, then that's their problem....and FOURTH.....You idiot are too dumb to see the reason they say that it had no effect on them whatsoevr....Think about it for a minute....PARPALYZED thumbs? Zied...what would you be doing now, if you had PARALYZED thumbs? ?? ??? Now...don't tell me you still don't get it......And thank you for making me waste half my moringe trying to type this stupid message...
Roya
I'm still thinking of something to write about too...I have an idea...Why don't we make something like the Free Association room, except sorta like brainstorm for ideas? Just an idea... Um...I was just wondering, who's going to pay for the paper?
