All I have to say about the chicken of bristol is, it tasted good with eleven different herbs and spices and eucalyptus. It held no fear for me, nothing will after the singing lessons...

Why do I suddenly want to change the tagline of this thread to "On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place."?

Changing the tagline is very very very close to heresy!

Everything is very close to heresy. The path of the righteous is narrow and slippery.

And difficult to climb while hanging upside down in a Eucalyptus tree. Only the truly devout make it to a height where they can plummet upon thier prey. |

I just wanted to share a moment from a recent game (three days ago) that I was playing in, that borught on a whole new tactic for the drop bear invasion.
A little back ground first. I'm playing a troll physical mage (god this character eats up karma) named Titan. First off, I've had this chracter for a good 8 years. He awakened somewhere along the way and lost all his cyber. He's done jobs for a couple of dragons and gotten hints of the past. After a while, hanging out with archeologists and historinas in BlackForest, having contacts in the A.F., all that good stuff, he's gotten a bit of an idea of what trolls used to be like. Eventually he got an axe with a dormant spirit of a troll skyraider in it (spirit trapping from ED), and the spirit started explaing the troll culture and skyraider sin general (this will be about Drop Bears eventually, promise). Titan has a ton of moeny (a bit over 10 million, just never quit running basically. I havne't played him much until recently). So he gest this idea and starts getting trolls together and buys 3 t-brids and modifies them and starts re-inventing skyraiders. Now Titan has an ungodly high bodt, and many levels in Mystic Armor. So I started joking about instead of dropping bombs, just dropping him out a t-bird into a building, armed with an assault cannon and minigun, and he would destroy it. Save a lot of money on bombs! Going on to say that they could do this with all the trolls! Better yet (here it comes, thanks for your patience!) drop in Drop Bears armed with assault cannons and miniguns! But theyr'e to small! I know ! Bio-engineer them to be bigger! Like troll big! Then they can tear in to stuff! No, waut, they're holding assault cannons and miniguns! I know1 Mutant Drop Bears with 4 arms! Then they can be dropped in a blow shit up and tear people apart! Mutant four armed Drop Bears with assault cannons and minigunS! It's PERFECT! Honestly I can't believe that this never came up at our weekly meetings. Thanks for listening. Please continue with your own rants now while I wipe up my frothing spittle. |

As a shocktrooper-platoon mutant 4-armed Ninja Drop Bears make sense. But for converting the unwashed masses and overseeing the conquered... uhm... converted countries, the normal cute-looking Drop Bears are much better.
We should handle the task of developing Sky Raider Drop Bears and 4armed Mutant Ninja Drop Bears to Oracle, our head of R&D. |

Good call. Divine inspiration is so hard to interpret into something cohesive sometimes. But that's what these meetings are for. :)

Every Elder has special skills ;) That's what differs us off the Brothers. Besides a true understanding and dedication to the DBC.

We did experiments with 4 armed Drop Bears earlier. We met two major problems: The 2 new arms created a serious coordination issue. Ninjaism and flipping out caused interesting knots. The second problem appeared when we tried the psychological effect of the new species. Children tended to call our deadly little death machine "Stitch" and found it to be "fluffy". We are still trying to work that out.
Sky Raider Drop Bears are worth a try... |

If it helps, these mutants were supposed to be wielding heavy artillery, not so much with the flipping. Perhaps we can use the D-factor (Disney factor of course) to our advantage....
If only they'd stop clawing faces off when we paint them blue... |

Hey, how come no one is on the M$ forums demanding why they named their game 'Shadowrun' without including drop bears? I'm tired of these half-assed attempts at replicating an ip. We should show them what for! No drop bears are just no fair!!

So shall we invade Microsoft HQ with Drop Bear Legions then? I volunteer the Dallas Legions for this job! Anyone with me? We shall invade the Shadowrun.com Forums and infect them with drop bear mania! |

excellent, excellent idea. Who should spearhead the new drop bear thread? I'm sure once we get the first few posts going and have a few plants 'convert' to our cause, the rest will follow. Then Piett and the other developers. Oh, very soon MS will be producing the first crimson skies drop mechwarrior bear game, packaged with vista and xbox. And we shall fall upon the world from their computer screens.

I think more subtle is a better way to go. JM Hardy's encouraging remarks give me hope that perhaps we can reach a wider audience by taking a milder approach. After all, if authors start slipping in Drop Bear references into the novels for all the world to dissiminate....
Hell, seems to work for the Humanis Policlub and tobacco industry :D |

We should start to become freelancer. Or convert Synner, AH and the others to our cause...
Does any of my loved Brothers & Elders have an idea? A special title for JM Hardy? |

I don't htink they like us. AH has only posted once on this thread. Maybe I'll try honing my drawing "skills" a bit more and see if I can get them to put a pic or two into a SB. Add in a little thing where if you blur your vision just right, the pic becomes a Drop Bear. |

I doubt that those you speak of are terribly hateful of those of the Drop Bear persuasion. It's more likely they give Drop Bears little thought. This is too bad, of course, as Drop Bears are a deathly serious matter. :D |

Drops of Corruption, p. 47, lines 17 & 18, first words of each line.

We lurk, we find "coincidental" items in our game fiction, we evangelize our cause. Why don't Synner and AH love us?
