I think that we need a listing of ranks. How many elders do we have by now anyways? And I think we can stop considering Jray deposed. Kage hasn't showed his heretic face around here in a while . chicken *snicker*. I declare the coup succesful!

so..... no replaced zoo signs yet?

BTW, in my game , I'm going to meet Rhonabwy soon. Bringing a drop bear as a gift. Do you think HMHVV makes them spicy?

I can officially, and I mean this, consider all of you complete and total lunies. Here is your gold plated dikoted ally spirit manafested as an Ares Viper silvergun. Plus the collectable plate, mounting rack, and underoos.

score!

You are going to FEED a Drop Bear to a filthy lizard???

maybe..... depends on if he wants to eat it. But he collects para's , just like my character (but bigger scale hehe). So I doubt it. I was just curios about the spicy really. You know, 'case I ever become a ghoul or something infected.

You are a para collector? Well, then why don't you just add Rhonabwy to your collection? That would be something to brag with.

'cause he's bigger than my house is. And his magic rating is bigger than mine too. And so are other things.... like his nose.

Excuses! I think you are lacking true dedication to the cause of paracritter-collecting! Just imagine how everyone would envy your collection of great dragons...

Possibly you could even beat the greatest dragon collector of all times: Verjigorm.

YAY! I am no longer deposed! HMHVV spiked beers for all!

I do think the sacrafice of a brave and noble drop bear warrior would be acceptable, if we thought it possible of creating the greatest weapon of all: a drop dragon.

Nothing is safe when the bureaucracy gets it hands on it.

hip-hip-hurrah for HMHVV spiked beers.

I wonder if any outback bushmen could tell us if Drop Bears are spicy or does the HMHVV in their veins make them a little chewy?

With enough ketchup, every animal tastes delicious.

Oracle: First off, my collection so far includes:
4 hellhounds
2 cereburus hounds
2 cockatirce
1 Eastern Gargoyle (soon to be 4 once I liberate some from the "zoo")
3 Pheonix
1 free spirit (sorta)
4 imps (improsoned in expendable foci trapped in a ward. suckers)
and a sasqautch lady that thinks I'm cute. although she's not really in the 'collection'

no animals from Oz yet, but to make up for it, we named out GMC Banshee the Bunyip, and our recently acquired Panzer the Drop Panzer.

Oh yeah, and Oracle, I think your dedication thus far is at least enough for the rank of Neophyte. That's your first step on the way to Zealot! keep up the good work!

Current Elders (as best I can tell): Plain White Socks
Hyzmarca

Pending approval upon arrival of photographic evidence of updating 'koala' exhibit
Neophyte Oracle

For some reason I thought Nezumi was nominated as well, but could'nt find it.

And of course, there's out Illustrios (meaning shiny) leader Jray Joker.

I move for Grinder's dedication to warrant a nomination to Elder as well.

And three cheers for ousting the despot!

Hip - Hip - Drop Beer!
x3 (too lazy to type)

yeah, but Gyro hasn't posted since, except once or twice. Perhaps a unique title , like 'the Provider" for providing a beginning. Or maybe just 'The Gyro', being a rank unto himself.

*g* The GM of my new SR4 group just allowed me to play a Drop Bear Shaman. ^^

I'll get my stats posted for mine tomorrow. Ideas for DropBear totem?

Shamanic: regular elemental spirits and Spirits of Beast for summoning

Benefits: +1 illusion spells. +1 to attack from higher ground

Disadvantage: Must attack from suprise. -2 to magic tests in head on combat.

interesting, if a bit unfulfilling

True prophets are dead. At least most of them.

You wish

If you do your stunt at the weekend, we should grant a special Drop Bear squad, maybe someone can come up with a good name?
So you won't be only Elder, but also "Master Of Desaster" or sth.

Hope that makes sense (at least a little?)...

Friends, I bring bad news! Both the National Zoo and the Maryland Zoo at Baltimore lack exhibits of both Drop Bears AND their more mundane cousins, koalas!!

This may be more difficult than I imagined. I may have to go out of state.

The reason is the very expensive diet. Eukalptus isn't native to our climates. My problem could be a different one: It is possible that the bears aren't in their normal area but indoors - where they can't be seen. But I'll check that up on sunday. I never give up. Not in missions of such importance.

Let us pontificate on the moral superiority of defenstration. One of the favorite ways for drop bears to get to their victims without being seen is to live in the turrets of castles, and when their spotter sees a victim (I.E. tourists are favorite, Igor-types next) going near the tower the launcher tosses the drop bear out the window to land on the victim with surprise intact! The more gothic a castle, the more places for drop bears to hide - which is why Europe will be infested with them more readily than other places.

A variant of this is, of course, the skyscraper defensetrator. A long plummet results in a more gooey landing - favorite for older drop bears who need to gum their food. These are common in all major cities, but especially in cities with extremely tall buildings, such as New York, Tokyo and Toronto.

Who knows what the drop bear variant in amazonia is, however...the amount of hiding places in THAT forest is unbelievable.

.....

Why did I just read the whole strip again? My brain hurts.

Brothers, I will now start my dangerous mission.

I am a fool, having posted so late. The only reasonable answer is to throw myself upon my drop bear.

Friends, I have learned a disturbing and wonderful fact. Beer kills. Therefore, I propose we arm our Drop Bear soldiers wth beer guns.

All I can say is....amazing.
You folks are all damn spiffy.

If I had anywhere to go tomorrow, I would dress up as a Drop Bear to celebrate.

Brethren! Unplanned-for things happened during my expedition to the zoo. Please just take a look at this!

Oracle should be granted the special title Wild Drop Bear Colony Special Investigator, setting up his own task-force - and supported by my German Albino Ninja Drop Bear platoon.

Roos Rool!

Great googly moogly!! It is good to see that the drop bears are preparing to retake their homeland. Good job, Oracle.

Brother Oracle's report is disturbing. It means the Roo's got the jump on the invasion of Hannover. We need to send Beer Gun toting Drop Bear Ninja Commando reinforcements there to deal with this pesky Roo problem. Good to know there's plenty of Eucalyptus already there. Our troops can travel light.

Are the Roo's showing up anyplace else?

Maybe we can use the unsuspecting Roo's to lure tourists under trees. Make use of our enemy.

Speak not of the heathen bobcats in our presence!

Actually, now that I have giant zombie Drop bears thanks to my good friend D'Compose, I'm working on something new.

I call it Drop Gear Rex. Essentially, it is a walking tank with a giant rail gun. When complete, it will be able to launch a fragmenting shell containing bultiple Drop Bear warheads against any target on the Earths. What's more, because it is a gun rather than a rocket, it technically doesn't violate any anti-ballistic missile treaties.

tisoz: slow night?

I'm working on a nifty drawring (yes drawring, not drawing ) with my shaman and his ninja drop bears, but no scanner. Anyone in Utah with a scanner by chance?

BTW, delivered the drop bear to Rhanoabwy. He was just tickled pink (ever seen a dragon change colors?). So now I'm geting together my own collection in character. My shaman already has a awakened critter version of Control Pack that he uses with his hell hounds. So Ninja drop bears are the next logical step.
