Ex-Mmoff Ex-Flee Ex-Stadium now Japresnik is here.

Your comm unit relays a message from Shel, "Join us Now for Meet and Greet featuring Japresnik!!! Duff Modem Pub, loc 251!!! See you there!!"

Devor says, "excuse any typing mistakes we turned the superbowl into a drinking game"

Shel says, "Thank you all for coming tonight, our guest this evening is Japresnik"

Urissa applauds

Devor is ready

Wirebreak claps between notes.

Japresnik stands and calms the crowd

Urissa calms down

Japresnik says, "Hello all:-)"

Shel asks, "Tell us Japresnik, when did you first come to fed?"

Japresnik laughs

"i started in september of 1996", says Japresnik.

"back on aol", says Japresnik.

Japresnik wonders if he is supposed to ellaborate more

Shel blushes

"sorry", says Shel.

"Did you have the same name as you do now?", asks Shel.

"oh, no, i started on aol fed as mmoff39624", says Japresnik.

"made it hard to get hauling contracts, very hard to type", says Japresnik.

Shel grins

Shel remembers some of those really long names

"when fed moved to ibgames.net i messed up and lost that character name", says Japresnik.

"oh, that's too bad", says Shel.

Shel asks, "so you made another?"

Japresnik says, "well i got assigned the name Flee, same character just different name"

Fancy asks, "Why assigned, instead of another name of your choosing?"

Furgas says, "touchdown"

Japresnik says, "the zmud program i had used it as a default setting the first time i logged on"

Japresnik does the Super Bowl Shuffle

"and i couldnt get it changed", says Japresnik.

with a broken hallelujah Galinfenner has appeared with a shimmer of teleportation effect.

Galinfenner says, "Hi, sorry I'm late."

Galinfenner says, "I'm the designated cook on weekends"

Japresnik chuckles

Devor didn't get any food

Shel says, "Japresnik was just telling us that when fed moved to web he lost his orignal character"

"and was assigned another name", says Shel.

Shel asks, "by... zmud?"

"correct", says Japresnik.

Japresnik says, "and my error in logging in for the first time"

Fancy wonders if someone logged this from the start.

Shel asks, "so your second character was your main one for awhile then?"

Japresnik thinks it has been riveting

"yes, I remaimed Flee, Duke of Stadium for many years,until about 2 years ago", says Japresnik.

Shel asks, "and then what happened?"

Japresnik says, "i created this character many years ago as a monument to a great friend that left fed"

Devor vaguely remmebers stadium

Japresnik says, "i got too busy with real life to play much"

Shel asks, "was that their name?"

Shel asks, "Japresnik?"

Japresnik says, "yes his name was japreZnik"

Shel nods

Anseladams has just appeared.

"Do you remember who helped you out when you were young?", asks Shel.

Anseladams burps and grumbles

Japresnik says, "yes, japreznik was very, very helpful, along with Aldva and haralon"

"and of course Dawn", says Japresnik.

Devor exclaims, "mistikdawn!!"

Shel asks, "Dawn?"

Galinfenner smiles

Japresnik says, "yes mistikdawn, Longstrider helped me also become Duke"

Devor exclaims, "longstrider!!!"

Shel smiles

Shel remembers Longstrider

Devor gets excited and pays more attention

Galinfenner smiles, "ahh.. the Backdraft duchy"

"Galileo451, JTmoonau, etc", says Japresnik.

"Byron", says Galinfenner.

Shel grins

Japresnik says, "yes Stadium was in Backdraft for quite some time"

Chryys says, "good heavens you guys are making me cry"

"MBA!", shouts Shel.

Shel blushes

"mba!!", exclaims Devor.

Japresnik laughs

Shel says, "Flying"

Japresnik says, "galileo had facs on Stadium"

Shel grew up in those Duchy's

"JT and I did the puzzle many times together", says Japresnik.

Shel smiles

Galinfenner grins

"And I think MBA gave birth to "TAWOOM", which generated "MOOWAT", as I recall.", says Fancy.

"he even took part in my so-called wedding", says Japresnik.

"or the ensuing trial at least", says Japresnik.

Shel winks and says, "other way around"

Hook asks, "Moowat's who said dat?"

Japresnik passes out ale as everyone watches the final seconds of the game

Galinfenner says, "So Shel has go afk for a bit. I"m taking over"

Galinfenner grins evilly

Japresnik says, "ut oh"

Japresnik cringes

"Japres, did you have any relationships back then?", asks Galinfenner.

Hook says, "omg, what have I walked into, lol"

"oh a couple here and there, one got clear to the alter", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner exclaims, "yes!"

Japresnik says, "and another got that far"

Galinfenner jumps up and down

Japresnik does the Super Bowl Shuffle

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLlll excuse me", says Devor.

Furgas throws ale across room

Galinfenner says, "ok"

Galinfenner grins

Furgas grumbles

"never got that far, opps, distracted", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner has bought you a Samuel Adams!

Japresnik takes his Sam Adam's and takes a swig

Galinfenner asks, "so never married?"

Japresnik says, "nope, had an adopted son,but that was about it"

Galinfenner asks, "who was this adopted son?"

"Wrkincaid", says Japresnik.

"really? LOL wow", says Galinfenner.

Galinfenner asks, "so you were Backdraft through and through eh?"

Shayla says, "I don't think I even want to know waht I missed"

"yes", says Japresnik.

"I walked into a GF takin over for Shel while AFC does the SB an if your not a programmer what the hell does that mean", says Hook.

Furgas says, "leave to the carolina panthars to lose the nfc the title"

"ack", says Shayla.

Galinfenner grins

"Did you leave and come back? Or have you been around since those days?", asks Galinfenner.

"i played up until about 2 to 3 years ago, came back active last december, Stadium gone", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner nods

"Japresnik and Haralawn still here", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner asks, "Where do you hang out these days?"

"Crater and Allegro when I have time", says Japresnik.

"have no desire to advance any further these days", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner asks, "why not?"

"i dont have the time to put into rebuilding a Duchy", says Japresnik.

Hook sharpens his roasting stick

Galinfenner nods

Galinfenner says, "that takes time"

"is more fun to hang out sometimes", says Galinfenner.

Hook sharpens his roasting stick some more

"do you have any embarrassing moments you can share with us?", asks Galinfenner.

Japresnik wonders why Hook is sharpening his stick

"oh embarassing, not really, but interesting perhaps", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner grins

Hook really sharpens his stick now

Galinfenner says, "OK, I'll settle for intresting"

Galinfenner looks at Hook

"maybe Hook can prod some embarrassing moments out of you :P", says Galinfenner.

Japresnik says, "as i mentioned before i made it to the alter once long ago"

Fancy remembers Japresnik telling him about the significance of the Journey BigGroat announcement in the Earth terminus as one of those interesting items.

[There's a chunk of capture missing, during which Japresnik told everyone how he caught his intended bride cheating on him.]

"i think sweet something or another", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner chcukles

Galinfenner chuckles even

Japresnik says, "i imagine an alt of hers might be here now, wouldnt that be fitting"

"so tell us what happened.", says Galinfenner.

Japresnik says, "so the night before wasnt much time to turn a wedding gone bad into a federation event"

Furgas says, "i had one of those"

Galinfenner asks, "how did you catch her?"

Japresnik says, "we set up to turn the wedding of the year into a trial of infidelity"

Japresnik says, "one of my duchymates told me"

Galinfenner says, "oh"

Japresnik says, "so we went through the wedding as planned from the start"

Galinfenner nods

"then when the Judge asked if any here objects to this marriage....", says Japresnik.

"all heck broke loose and it turned into a trial of my bride", says Japresnik.

Wirebreak asks, "objections?"

Galinfenner chuckles

Japresnik says, "yes, you know when the judge asks if anyone here has any objections to these 2 getting married...."

Japresnik says, "we had someone stand up"

Japresnik says, "all on the qt, mind you"

Wilde exclaims, "the nerve!"

"of me?", asks Japresnik.

Wilde says, "oh, no the objector"

Wilde says, "sorry"

"it was set up", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner grins

Galinfenner says, "Ja found out his intended was err... promiscuous"

Galinfenner says, "the night before the wedding"

Japresnik says, "our judge to marry us, Tbar, decided of course to hold a trial of infidelity"

Wilde says, "oh I see"

"and i had to step up and represent my bride of course", says Japresnik.

"during the trial.", says Japresnik.

"really? wow", says Galinfenner.

Galinfenner says, "chivalrous of you"

Japresnik says, "i think wetkiss4u was the prosecutor i think"

Wirebreak wonders if there is a log of this anywhere.

Galinfenner grins

"oh good grief", says Chryys.

Japresnik says, "tbar picked the jury of course"

Pico says, "ahhh yes"

"and we had the jury rigged, there was only about 6-8 of us that knew what was going on", says Japresnik.

Devor says, "lol"

Japresnik says, "tbar was a complete hoot"

Japresnik says, "the crowd of near 70 were completely stunned"

Wirebreak says, "70? yikes"

Fancy whistles.

"maybe not that many, but Flee was a very popular character back then with the backdraft ties and such", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner nods

Wilde grins, "Back in the days of 'ol.... "

Galinfenner grins

"so the trial ended and she was expelled from the duchy and then i ended up on earth in court a few days later", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner asks, "for what?"

Japresnik says, "needless to say she was very, very mad, and wanted revenge somehow"

Galinfenner smiles

Japresnik says, "she didnt know it was coming"

"what did she do?", Wirebreak asks.

Galinfenner nods

"of course i agreed to the trial", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner asks, "why?"

Japresnik says, "i think she sued me for my character name or something like that, the Duchy"

Wirebreak laughs.

"ahh", says Galinfenner.

"knew the judge that was to be presiding", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner chuckles

Japresnik says, "think I had to make a public appology and pay her 1 groat in severance pay"

Wilde laughs

"now that trial got ugly, but fun", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner grins

"how many people showed up for that one?", asks Galinfenner.

Japresnik says, "oh i would say prolly about the same, maybe a few less"

"she had many friends in fed back then too", says Japresnik.

Fancy wonders if the Chronicle had that trial in its news...

Galinfenner nods

Japresnik says, "i think it was made the fednews"

Wirebreak thinks he is going to go through some back issues.

Galinfenner chuckles

Galinfenner asks, "did you remain on speaking terms with the lass?"

"it was Flee and SweetAngel i think", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner says, "ahh"

Japresnik says, "oh no, that was outta the question"

"mmm", says Galinfenner.

Wirebreak asks, "do you know around when this happened?"

Galinfenner says, "Don't remember Sweetangel"

"she thought she was going to be married for real", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner nods

"she thought i was stading up for her by being her attourney", says Japresnik.

"oh, when was that", says Japresnik.

Hook thinks he's burnin that new 56k modem up

"maybe 98 or 99", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner chuckles

Japresnik says, "i think i have the log on my old puter actually"

Wirebreak wants a copy!

Japresnik says, "it turned very wicked, not everyone on the jury knew what was happening"

"rofl", says Galinfenner.

"just enough to make sure we knew the outcome before the wedding started", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner grins

Galinfenner asks, "Have you seen her since?"

Japresnik says, "tbar changed his mood from "Marrying the Lovely Couple""

Japresnik says, "to "The Hang Judge""

Galinfenner rolls

"i saw from time to time in fed for a couple months, i had to hang low for awhile after that", says Japresnik.

""Hanging Judge"", says Japresnik.

"I guess you might say that SweetAngel turned out to be neither.", says Fancy.

Devor grins broadly

Galinfenner chuckles and nods

Hook chuckles too

Galinfenner asks, "OK, so Japres, what keeps you coming back to Fed?"

Japresnik says, "oh, times like this, brings back fun memories and many players that played then are still around now"

"just different names", says Japresnik.

Hook wants to know too?:)

Galinfenner smiles and nods

Galinfenner asks, "What would you change about Fed if you could?"

Japresnik says, "i see many of them now"

Japresnik says, "i would put back in the jp puzzle without question"

Galinfenner smiles

Chryys jumps up and cheers loudly

Galinfenner asks, "anything else?"

Japresnik says, "that really brought all ranks together and kept them together for years"

Japresnik ponders

Hook applaudes too

"make it free", says Japresnik.

Japresnik chuckles

Galinfenner grins

Fancy grins.

Wilde exclaims, "Woot!!"

Galinfenner asks, "what advice do you have for new players?"

Hook applaudes more

Pico asks, "There are new players??"

Japresnik says, "that is a tough one"

"once in awhile", says Galinfenner with a wink.

Japresnik says, "spend time having fun, dont haul all the time, stir things up once in awhile"

Galinfenner smiles, "Good answer"

Galinfenner looks at the audience

"Anyone have a question?", asks Galinfenner.

Japresnik listens to the sound of crickets chirping quietly in the corner.

Fancy nods and raises a paw.

Galinfenner asks, "Fancy?"

Japresnik listens

Hook says, "get em Fancy"

Japresnik cringes about a sweetangel in the crowd

Wilde pets her cricket.

Fancy asks, "You once told me about the significance of the Journeyman BigGroat announcement in the Earth terminus. Would you mind telling it again for all on the record?"

"ah yes, funny story", says Japresnik.

Wirebreak can't wait to hear this.

"my 3rd planet is dragtown, po haralawn, an ex friend of mine that DD and came back as BigGroat", says Japresnik.

"he got his planet one night and i think he had been partying in rl", says Japresnik.

Japresnik says, "so i talked him into naming his planet BigGroatyBalls"

"and he did", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner smirks

Wilde exclaims, "I remember that!"

Wirebreak laughs.

Japresnik says, "we were on Backdraft with Aldva and the crew"

"and i recall Aldva saying "BigGroat have you lost your marbles"", says Japresnik.

Galinfenner laughs

Japresnik hands BigGroat his marbles back.

Wilde rolls on the floor, laughing so hard, barely missing the cricket

"and a couple weeks later, that announcement shows up", says Japresnik.

Fancy thinks his planet may have been his marbles.

"LOL that' s funny", says Galinfenner.

Wilde laughs.

Japresnik does the Super Bowl Shuffle

Japresnik is swept away as the cleaning droid picks him up.

Galinfenner grins

Galinfenner asks, "Anyone else have a question?"

Japresnik turns up his collar at the cold reception of the Meet-N-Greet

Japresnik laughs

"Ok", says Galinfenner.

Pico says, "hmmm"

Wilde grabs her cricket and puts him back in his cage.

"opps wrong key", says Japresnik.

"Thanks for coming Japres", says Galinfenner.

"It was a great meet", smiles Galinfenner.

"thanks for coming all, this was fun", says Japresnik.

Fancy smiles and applauds.

Urissa applauds

Japresnik chuckles

"Next time our guest will be Aramil", says Galinfenner.

Devor cheers

Wilde claps loudly and whistles.

Galinfenner exclaims, "Thank you all for coming !"

Hook applaudes an smiles

Galinfenner says, "oh"

"good Meet and Greet, Japresnik", smiles Urissa.

Wirebreak pokes Galin.

Galinfenner says, "I am retiring from hosting Meet and Greet"

Devor says, "we love it when there is dirt"

Devor asks, "whAT??"

"say it isn't so", says Devor.

Galinfenner smiles, "Starting the next Meet, Wirebreak is taking over duties as host"

Galinfenner nods

"i'm far to inebriated to take this news well", says Devor.

Japresnik says, "Wire will do a good job too."

Urissa cheers for Wire

Wirebreak grins.

Japresnik applauds

"Well, I'll come in and make sure Wire does a good job", says Galinfenner with a wink.

"Woohoo!!!", exclaims Wilde.

"well we are all proud of wire and realize he is up to the task but galin...... how come?", asks Devor.

"you should know I will Galin", Wirebreak says.

Galinfenner grins

"though I could never live up to your legacy", Wirebreak says.

"Well, I have trouble being here on time", says Galinfenner.
