Good to hear, I had feared some had bravely fallen dealing with the elves. Give the word and I will lend the might of my droptankers who will smite our enemies with a righteous furor.

Disturbing news!

There's a line, "But their numbers have dropped..." I'm not sure how to take that.

NO! We must attack the fires with Ares Cascades!

Just the type of lethargic response one would expect from a bunch of rodent worshippers.

Hah, foolish keebler, you fell for our disinformation campaign! While the fires destroyed the food of regular koalas, making them more willing to join our ranks, we made it appear we were slowly trying to extinguish said fires! And you fell for it! You fool, hahahahaha! Now our secret plan is guaranteed success!

And they call elves 'Leafbiters' ...

Dear lord, this has got to be the longest running thread I have -EVER- seen. Infact I totally say that as a result, there really needs to be a whole shadowrun book specifically dedicated to the drop bear conspiracy. Or at the very least, a threats 3 book and an article about the dreaded drop bears.

Why if I had not stumbled across this thread. I too could have fallen vitcim to the dreaded drop bears!

I mean, just yesterday, I was walking in downtown Seattle. There'd been this thing on the newsa bout these wild creatuers breaking loose and, initailly I thought nothing of it, afterall I'm a runner! I can geek anything that looks at me crosseyed!...except for the drop bears. I'd never met one, but thankfully I had read this thread so knew what I had to do once I was finally confronted with the dreaded creatures!

Hang on.. I hear something...

Oh sweet.. no! NO! The eyes! Those baleful eyes! *thud* AAAARRRRGGGHHH

Do Dropbears perch in christmas trees?
Do Dropbears use small wrapped packages as bait for the unwary?
Do Dropbears make HoHoHo noises on the drop?
Do Dropbears wear red hats as disguise?

This just in!

Seattle residents are being warned to lock their doors, bar their windows, and start a fire in any chimney they may have. A recent shipment of Drop Bears ment for an animal testing lab has mysteriously been freed of their cages. These vampiric bears, have been sighted doning Santa suits and dropping down chimneys to attack the heads of the unweary.

Also in related news..

There is a drop bear above you..

Quit reading this to the viewers you iddiot!

RUN! NOW!

*drop bear lands on news anchor*

OH GOD! MY EYES! MY EYES! *screams and flails*

*Feed Cuts out*
*Notice pops up on screen*
We're sorry, but we appear to be experiencing technical difficulties. Please excuse us for the inconvinence. We will be returning you to your regularly sheduled programming as soon as the drop bears finish rampaging the city.

Wow, I do believe we're witnessing the results of Kesslan having read the entire thread.

Twice.

Welcome, Brother Kesslan!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_bear#External_links

Check the bottom of the page.

Kesslan, if you have read the entire thread as all good alcolytes are supposed to you would have seen that particular link before. You must be a spy for the Elf!! Die heretic!!

Yes, i have seen that link before, but the item at the bottom, I will point out. Is new.

(Suspicion turns to Magus)

Conven the tribunal!

I declare my fanaticism to the Holy Cause of the Drop Bear. I only state that link has been shown to the Holy Brethren already. It may be in a new location but it is the same informational pic and text.Would be Brother (acolyte ) Kesslan has already stated he has NOT read the entire thread at least once. Whereas Most of the Commanders and all the Elders have gone through this Holy Document at least twice.

I submit myself to the Tribunal.

*seven hours and 4 cases mountain dew later*

I have just read the entire drop bear conspiracy for the first time in one sitting.....

*looks over shoulder at the huddled group of drop bears chewing on eucalyptus leaves from backyard*

They showed up maybe three hours into it, about the time when my stack of empty cans began to form a temple in my living room. I think they dropped down my chimney while I was lost in the ninety one pages of the Holy Thread of Thump.

The black spots and the spinning are starting to fade now....I feel as though I just completed an ordeal, the grade 1 initiation into the tradition of the almighty ninja drop bear totem.

*bows before temple in living room*

I understand...I understand the eucalyptation....oh Holy Drop Bear, I am your follower...

Congrats. People must surely celebrate such a feat of endurance and willpower ... even in the pursuit of a less-than-savory cause.

So, how often do you think coyote shamans have friends that are drop bears? They seem like they would be a good team. A runner team of drop bears with a coyote shaman backing them up?

I assume the Coyote Shaman is just there to be cool right? I mean surely the all mighty drop bears do not need the Coyote Shaman around?

I tried working with Coyote shamen before I joined the dbc. Our plans never worked and I'm still paying off the account we had with the company that supplied all our equipment.

Coyote shamen are not neccessarily useful. An oblivious, impulsive coyote shaman is a walking distraction, but can not be counted on consistently directing meat-heads under the trees.

Some are more subtil than others.

And it's a lot of fun to cause trouble, have corpsec chase youinto that nice innocent grove of trees, then laugh your ass off as a hord of drop bears decends......

After a few requests and pointing out that while it's still SR related, the DP thread really has gone off from standard SR. And so it's been moved.

Noooo!!! The IE's confused you with their elven magic!!!

Nah, it was more like a general consensus. It had come up from a couple of differnet users, and seconded by "on high". If the Thread is worthy, it will surive. Be Strong Elder.

Now I understand: it's a test if the Holy Drop to weed out the weak. We will be strong, we will survive, we will win!

Victory is ours!

Through adversity, we grow

no, general consensus on the mod-ing end. It came up a few times, so i asked others, got a 2nd and 2rd opinion, and moved it.

Glad to know that you care BTW. Your concern touches the Conspiracy deeply.

It is not the sub-forum that makes the thread, it is the thread that makes the sub-forum. The DBC will live and thrive here as it has survived for over the last year and passed all those threads that once held the longest thread spot over it.

Yes! YES! WE MUST CRUSH THE OTHER THREADS!

They shall ALL come under the dominion of the drop bears!

MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAA!

Especially during Smarch.

NO THEY MOVED IT BLARGH I AM DEAD!!!

Meh, it just means the radio light will be dark more now.

Devil rats rule!

Please! Mmmmmm.. it's devilishly good.

Nothing like devil steaks washed down with drop beer. *Joins the shadowque*

I was beginning to panic, I couldn't find this thread in the Shadowrun forum because I recognize it by the smiley had to use the search function to find it.
