BurbolGii, you scrumm brockett. A deal's a deal, but I give you more time. No tell nobody about goat, please. Secret tight with me, as always. You now need to get back to work on that refactor delay. Captain may need it when we reach Uull IV to stock up on gollotium. If you need me, I'll be in my quarters practicing for the eight-prong gargle competition.

In the spirit of open-source, I'm pretty sure all the images available on the net are there for the taking. If by chance you glean one that isn't, simply take it down and offer up a humble apology to the fellow bitcoiner.
True. However, I'm just kind of lazy. So I'm hoping that while I'm writing someone has an awesome picture that they want to share and posts it here. Saves me time, and they get to have a mention on my blog. I mean I have almost 6 people a day looking at it, how could anyone pass that up? Bear in mind that once you double your viewership, you'll have to pay more for bandwidth. May I suggest having future subscribers pre-pay for content. I've heard it's all the rage. ~Bruno K~

My guess is that there's something going on behind the scenes for them to even consider putting this out there. Chances are good that this course of action is meant to protect them more than it is to protect their clients. Probably playing the numbers game, knowing that only a certain amount of individuals will jump through the hoop.

I just registered Boi'gaaf
No, you registered Boi qaaf, with a Q LMAO I'm just a GQ type of guy, I suppose. BTW, Boi'qaaf is pronounced the way it is spelled. Updating Post #2 now. Thanks, Psy, for the whitelisted. Feel free to scratch my character's chin anytime.

You guys are good! I just registered Boi'qaaf https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=71107 and should be whitelisted soon. I'll figure out the voting aspect later, for a new account negates the 500+ post count rule, but maybe it's not needed. Hopefully you both go the same route putting your title/position and avatar in your profile.

This is Bruno (will confirm in a sec by replying to post). I created this account mainly for the sole purpose as a character to interact in this game: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=121306.0If I don't get out ASAP, I will fire up Nikki the Bitch and raise all kinds of hell provided, of course, theymos didn't permanently ban her (which I think he did). ~Bruno~ Don't know the guy! Probably just wants out to perpetuate some scam. Your call, though. ~Bruno~

Captain Eer-ahn Or-el, what is our next disno? Warp Engineer Ifseg Arkaz confirms all... WTF, it looks like we have a problem, Captain. Should I adjust the... Boi'qaaf Genius idea (I think): We should register our new IDs, using them to only play this game. The mods can fairly quickly whitelist the new account names, thus giving them something to do. ;D

I vote to name the ship the "BAS Satoshi". For the captain, I nominate myself (caffeinewriter). For the mission, I vote that we're on an economic expansion mission. I suggest for voting, you +1 each idea individually by quote. E.g. For the mission, I vote that we're on an economic expansion mission. +1 I vote to name the ship the "BAS Satoshi". +1 +1 I'll +1 both suggestions, but to play this well, present everything while in character. E.g. (without quotes) "As captain of BAS Satoshi on this economic expansion mission, I hereby confine you, Boi'qaaf, to quarters until..."
And don't forget to sign your post with your new character name. I see you added more, Eiran Or'll Boi'qaaf

Another planet we can scratch off the list, Captain. Boi'qaaf If a player wants to take on the roll as the captain, he can do so, but will only be recognized as such after receiving three +1 votes by Full Members (500+ post count) of this forum, whereupon will be registered in Post #2 of this thread.

- Name of ship: BAS Satoshi
- Captain: Eiran Or'll
- The Pleaser: Boi'qaaf
- Warp Engineer: Ifseg Arkaz
- Leader of the SHARDEN: DARQIST HEMT
- Retard Genius: BurbolGii
BAS Satoshi and her crew are on an economic expansion mission. Access to 1A1zP1 is limited to only one entity among the crew, and his/her identity has been unknown among the rest of the crew since BAS Satoshi took flight about 3 Earth years ago. Try to refrain from connecting this game to what we know about Bitcoin in RL, as well as not depending too much on Star Trek when introducing sci-fi terminology.
Put asides in code brackets.
Get a new user account to play the game (option, but would make it a better gaming experience), which can be whitelisted easily, or be really creative and not let anybody know who you are by registering the normal/long way.

NOTE: The name of this thread will be changed to 'We're on the starship____________' once a name has been picked, or simply titled '_______' (the name of the ship). Anybody can play, but don't refer to yourself as your real name or pseudonym, along with leaving all your RL personalities and biases behind. For instance, I will be known as Boi'qaaf (zero Google results), far removed from the personalities of Phinnaeus Gage, Bruno, Al the Alpaca, etc., and may ally with Atlas, Josh, or Zhou Tong's character. Try to pick a name that's not currently indexed by Google, and always sign your post with your character's name. The only outside role I will be performing is maintaining this thread, making sure the rules, albeit few, are being abided. Any suggestions or questions can be asked of me via PM. The game only exist on this forum thread, but members can interact outside in RL, joining alliances, maybe, to better or sabotage the experience. Unless otherwise revealed by consensus (a vote--explained in a sec), assume the ship we're on is in outer space on a yet to be defined mission. The only thing taking place on this ship that resembles anything we currently relate to the Bitcoin realm is the use of Bitcoin itself possibly a means of conducting commerce on the ship, unless a consensus dictates another yet to be known purpose, e.g., mining, returning the protocol to The Protector, etc. To start off, we'll name the ship, first by garnering suggestions and using only +1's as votes. All that is needed is three +1's by full members (500+ post counts), and the ship will be named. It can always be changed later with another vote after 24 hours (Earth) have passed and using the same criteria. Same is true as to the size of the ship, number of crew, defence capabilities, mission, etc., but these attributes may not need a vote if ejected into the game by a player, and accepted as fact during the course of dialog. Example: Player 1: We need to resupply our pantries at the next GL planet, otherwise we're going to have 300 hungry people eyeing each other. Player 2: 300 people on board, and nobody knows the answer to... Player 3: Twins! Just what we needed. Now we have 302 clueless souls on this tin can heading to who-knows-where. When voting (+1), please add other content to your post to further the game along, and always sign with your character name. Please put any aside comments or questions (if you don't want to PM me with them) inside code brackets to not disrupt the playing of the game. Feel free to use Star Trek as your inspiration, but try to interact here as if that franchise was never conceived. Same true for other well-known sci-fi realms. I will update this OP when the need arises. I will reserve Post #2 for only facts related to this game (e.g., name of ship, races aboard, mission, etc.) Boi'qaaf

I now see that it's far removed from my idea. Thanks for the update, Mr. Coffee Bunn.

I have to admit that logansryche's doing a fine job here and may have a new calling; namely, providing 30 minute updates of world news that effect bitcoiners. There's a US presidential election currently slated for next Tuesday. I hope logansryche is able to provide the same service starting when the first polls open to the last one closes, including Obama's concession speech.

Is this the beginning of the end for PayPal? No. Paypal has billions of dollars to higher the talent they need. Apple is going threw a restructuring of their executives, does this imply the beginning of the end for Apple. Not likely.
To suggest that Paypal's restructuring is going to lead to the demise of Paypal is a logical fallacy. Just because A causes B and B causes C doesn't mean that A causes C.
Papypal will soon end because they don't know how to treat their customers. Better solutions like DWOLLA are arising. It's only a matter of us choosing to do what's right. To me, in a sense, it's like the civil rights movement. No longer will we sit in the back of Paypal's bus, a new day has come. Let us all rise up and boycott their asses until they dive into bankruptcy. Amen. Birmingham, here we come!

Right now, I want to say fourth or fifth week of November, but lots of little issues have cropped up, pushing the shipping date out a bit here and there. To be on the safe side, I would estimate... ...the fifth or sixth week of November.

The website has been removed.
He's gone.
That would be totally unacceptable if he decides to play it like that. Time to put a team together then?
