You did?
I think I talked to so many people that I got confused what my opinions were and what was other people's opinions.
I've updated my list of links again.
That list of links is maybe only 1/3 or less of what's actually in the hive.

I didn't add the Jamski issue though.... Maybe people want to listen to all the things he got up to.

Oh yeah I recently checked how many posts I've made in the Hive forum apparently 1 in every 9 is mine.
You can do a search of "Honghu" limited to the Hive forum.

Hey I almost forgot we got a couple of posts worth of pre-unity story done. It's in the embassy forum. It was short, but decent enough writing.

Hehe, that was me, right? I had other reasons to not wanting to trade with you, it had nothing to do with you being organized. Anyway, this reminds me how frustrating the game was -- due to the inactivity we never seemed to get anything done and I didn't have any official power myself. Even though I played quite a few turns at the end I was never the official turnplayer and always waited for someone to play the turn first.

Well initally it was
* looks like it isn't urgent
* looks like a good trade
* lets look for something better first
*10 years pass*
* I don't think that trade is a good idea
* nevermind the fact it's been 10 years since it was offered and the game has moved on.

I can't recall exactly anymore what you wrote, but didn't you say in the Rec Commons once that your attachment to honesty is partially a role you play in the social sphere?
Anyway, wouldn't it be MORE honest to simply admit NOT to be honest all the time, like with me saying I edited a few previous posts.
|
Well it's true, but if you also remember it's also about how we view ourselves. If you believe you're being honest and you act honestly how can you tell the difference between thinking your honest and actually being honest?

Hi Static Universe,
Thanks for the welcome party.
Hello Jamski.
Hi HongHu,
It's the weekend so Vev's not going to be in
his office.
Hi Octavian X,
Not sure how much you can spam, but I doubt
you'll get banned straight away. Probably they'll
just kill this thread.
Hi Frankychan,
Yep that was me, although I wasn't very bothered.
I think the guy that was getting chatted up by
another of your members, who was also a guy, was more
disturbed.
Hi Tassadar50000,
I thought the pretext for all you guys spamming was to
say hello to me in a indirect way. You better say hello
so your lawyer can make a good case when it comes to why
you weren't actually spamming.

So many good laughs.

A history of the Hive "Hello" thread
On the 13 of June 2003 a bright eyed bushy tailed newbie signed up to apolyton as Kody.
"Announce thyself so I can spam!", declared his friend on MSN.
Badgered by his friend Kody made his first post in the Hive forum.
Kody titled it "Spam thread", and put a direct paste of his friend's desire to spam into the post. Kody then heard a grumble behind him where his friend was sitting and then a rather terse explanation of why that post was inappropriate.
After being berated the post title was changed to hello and the message to.
quote:
I was planning on lurking for a while, mainly while I reading all the posts that have already occurred. Also because I didn't want to make a complete fool of myself in my ignorance.
But *censored* badgered me into saying hello.

However, it was too late, the damage had been done. In the 1 minute during which the original post was available the chairman had seen it and proceeded to make 5 posts within 2 minutes in response. The chairman did a split post berating Kody's friend for wanting a thread to spam in. This set the precedent and the thread was forever made into a spam thread. Over the next 24 hours over half the hive had made over 70 post of spam with frequent split posting to maximise post count.
When the hello thread had reached over 100 posts Jamski started threatening to shoot anyone that continued to post to it. This had the opposite affect that he intended. Posting actually increased as the hive asserted it's god given right to spam. Jamski worked his way up from normal font to size=5 font and bold in his efforts to kill the thread.
For a while after Jamski was captured for his house painting episode the activity in the hello thread died down. Until Googlie decided to post updates of Alinestra Covelia possibly joining the hive. The hello thread had gained a new purpose, a thread to have small talk. Many important issues were discussed in the hello thread such as; Alinestra Covelia joining the hive, getting to emperor, how to play the industry game, singing, dancing, Kody's unusually high movement rate, installing SMAX, editing other people posts wars, and what a large mass of spam the hello thread was.
Rokossovky was able to sum up the contents of the thread in one line.
quote:
My God, after finally reading this thread I've found that it REALLY is nothing but complete useless spam amazing insight into SMAX.
- Rokossovky |
At this time the hello thread is currently sitting at 248 posts and 1066 views.
This thread will hopefully not be as quite as bad as the original. It is hoped that this thread will be used to suck up all the random posts that Hive members usually generate and spare the Drones from being swamped by only vaguely ACDG posts.

Just some background on the hello thread, which was originally posted in CGN.
