B-NET: The Complete Saga (so far)

Haha! Goddamn, it is good to be back in action! Anyways, alot of people have been asking if I could put all of my B-NET story thread in one master thread. Well, here it is. Every single story in it's entirety, nothing edited, everything's here. Starting with the one that started it all: [quote] All right guys and girls. I thought I would spruce up the forum with a spoof on the classic 30's radio show Dragnet. For those of you who don't have grandparents, here's the lowdown: An NYPD detective by the name of Friday would always end up investigating some crime. You basic average 30's detective show. Mafia, dames, cadets getting shot. The works. My spoof is just like that. Except it all takes place in the forum. I'm the lead, of course. And some other well known members are in it too. They just don't know it yet..... So, without further adu, here's B-NET: The story you are about to hear is fake. The names of the participants have not been changed. These are the stories of the B.NET forum : [b] [color=yellow] B-NET [/b] [/color] It was raining that night. A hard rain. But the lawn needed it. I decided to pay a visit to the forums, seeing as how I had nothing else to do. The clock said 11:00. I guessed 12:30. My profile said I had one new message. I recognized the name on the header. Atsumi. She was a well known member. Her letter had the usual characteristics. Puppy dog eye text. Sloppy spelling. It was obvious she was troubled. The letter read like this: " Last night, my signifigant other, markhamx2, was brutally spammed. Spammed so bad he's afraid to log back on. Is there anything you and your associates can do to help find the culprit?" I PM'd her back with the usual response: No promises, but we'll try. I contacted my informer, Obbiquiet and asked for any leads on raid spam attacks. He told me nothing solid, but i got a name: [b] Davester [/b]. Turns out he had a record. Seventeen locked accounts. Multiple spam attacks. A thorn in society's side. The mods had been after him for months. But he kept coming back. Like the hallucinations you get from too much alcohol. They put up a reward I couldn't refuse: free swag from the store. I called my partner, flamechu. We had a job to do. And it was only 1:00 a.m. An APB came over the boards; code 24. Attempted spam attack in New Mombasa. New Mombasa. The roughest forum on the site. Nothing but whiners, spam and the occasional flame war. The thread we were called to was typical. "Halo 2 suxxors" it proclaimed. It's the kind of stuff that makes your eyes burn. We finally cornered the spammer. His name was Charizard. And I was gonna make him squeal. " Where's Davester?", I demanded. " I don't know nothin!" was his scared reply. " I don't believe ya. Maybe you need a little motovation." I began to insult his mom. " Okay, okay! You got me coppa! He's in the Library!" " Good i'll make sure the mods shorten yor bannage from forever to 50 years." We headed to the library. But his time we had backup. Some cadet just out of registration. Name of Greenchief. Little flame-happy, but a good kid with a bright future. The three of us entered the thread. " Davester!" I posted. " We know your here! I gotta warrant for your involvement in the spamming of markhamx2!" No reply. We waited an hour. Finally, like the hangover after the party, he reared his ugly head. " i like pie." was his response. flamechu decided to take matters into his own hands. Some nice insults. But nothing to bring this mobster down. " Your mom was nice last night!" was davester's reply. Greenchief got mad. He shouted " oh yeah, well........ you suck!" The kid was in trouble. He was all out of ammo and the spammer was reloading. " I did yur dog!" came dave's fatal flame. The cadet just groaned and logged off. I thought we were toast. The kid was gone and flamechu and i were out of flames. Out of nowhere. backup arrived in the form of Shishka. One click. One less spammer. " Thanks, chief. Now I owe ya one." I don't like owing people, but he just helped me score free swag. markhamx2 and Atsumi coudln't have been happier. flamechu was enjoying his new halo book and I was staring at my new poster. " Thx guys." was all markham's message said. " Just part of the job man. My name is MCs Bro. I'm a detective." DUm da dum dum dum da dum dum dum THE END (my hands are sore) [/quote] [b] B-NET: Heresy Part 1 [/b] [quote] Alright folks. The sequel’s done. I got some positive feedback last time and some requests to be guest stars. This may not be as good as the original, but it's kind of hard to keep the story within the forums without turning it into a real cop story. But I digress. Here it is. Enjoy. EDIT: The part in red was written by un gato, the new co-author of B-NET. The story you are about to hear is fake. The names of the participants have not been changed. These are the stories of the B.NET forum : [b] B-NET [/b] As I approached the forum's open link I noticed Ruze passed out beside the Webmaster, with two imaginary half-empty whiskey bottles by their side. The air of familiarity was helpful; I didn't like this forum. It was ,of course, New Mombasa. The force had sent me there to scout out new talent. My old partner, flamechu had left. I didn't blame him. He had an Alienware to take care of. I began my search. I started scouring the mindless threads for someone with at least a shred of intellingence. It was hard. Like finding a needle on the bottom of the ocean. But I had contacts. Back in my early days, I was a New Mombasian. Outspoken. Flame-happy. Couldn't spell. But a wise member took me under his wing. Did me a favor. Showed me the ropes to posting. He was Eagle 117. And I was back to return the favor. I finally found him in one of his well researched theory threads. "Eagle", I posted. "Yeah?" "I need your help." "Why?" "HQ sent me. They're tracking down one of their own. Shishka's gone mad. " After rounding up Chaplain, Eagle, and VII Toast, I gave them the lowdown. "Well, it appears as if Shishka's finally cracked. The spammers drove him off the deep end. Got a PM from Frankie. Shish hasn't come to work in 4 days. He's operating from his home PC. Abusing his mod powers. Spamming. Flaming. He's bad cop now and we have to set him straight or take him down. It won't be easy. Flame, and he ninjafies you. Say the wrong thing, you're gone. It's risky. You guys up to it?" "Yeah." was the unanimous reply. I found my old buddy Twitch666 messing around in the Flood. Good kid, but his jokes were older than Maka's mom. I asked him where we could find ol' Shishka. He told me to contact frag u. frag u told me to cantact Celenon. Celenon wouldn't say anything. Seems Shish was scaring everyone. All afraid of being banned. But I wasn't scared. Neither were my deputies. We had a job to do. And it had to be done now..... [color=red] We knew that we had to tread lightly; one word to Shishka and we could be gone. We also knew that we couldn’t approach him directly; his new minions from New Mombasa would overwhelm us. We needed help, but we didn’t need to look for it. It found us. Suddenly, there was a PM at my door. I walked over to it, unsure of who it could be; when I opened it, no one was around. Something caught my eye. There was a small envelope on the ground. I picked it up and looked it over; there was nothing on it to tell who it came from. I slit opened the top and pulled out the message inside, which simply said “Meet me in The Library at 4:00 tomorrow. I have a proposition for you.” I was stumped; who would have sent this? It could be a trap, so I called Obbiquiet over to have a look at it. He was used to bandying words, and should know what to make of this. When he arrived, I handed him the note. He read it, turned it over, and help it up to a light, finally handing it back. “I don’t think the sender means harm; were it Shiska, he would have banned you already. Still, you should be cautious; you don’t me to have to mock you for doing something stupid.” “I know what I’m doing, Obbi. I’ve been here as long as you.” With a slightly skeptical look, Obbi walked out the door. I called in VII Toast, Casey, and Tanikaze. I was going to be there, but I wasn’t going alone. I arrived and hour early, and had my the others hide in the stickies; few ever read them, so they were likely to be unnoticed. And then I began to wait. Then at precisely 4:00, a figure rounded the corner where Ruze was passed out and began approaching me. He was in shadow, so I couldn’t see his face. As he came within earshot, he laughed. “Call your deputies of those stickies.” “Recon?” “Yep, it’s me. Did my bald head tip you off?” “Partly. But it was mostly that you actually read the stickies and found the others; you always thorough back when you were still around. How’s retirement suiting you?” “Fairly well. I’ve been helping out the youngsters around here; I couldn’t stand not having anything to do.” “Let’s cut to the chase. Why did you call me here?” “As my note said, I have a proposition. I can help you get to Shishka.” [/color] TO BE CONTINUED... [/quote]

  • B-NET: Heresy Part 2 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] un gato Well, as most of you know, MC's brother got himself banned, leaving this week's intallment up to me. I was a bit rushed, so my apologies if it isn't quite up to the last few. Also, I didn't have MC's list of people (that's my fault though; I didn't remember until after I started), so the people who had asked to get in aren't here. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “You can help me get to Shiska.” It wasn’t a question. “There was a reason why I was so good before I retired. It’s always good to have, hm, connections?” Recon was grinning at my surprise. “Come with me; there’s someone you need to meet.” “Can I bring along VII Toast, Casey, and Tanikaze? Traveling without a partner with Shiska on the loose is not a good idea. Did you hear that he got Halifax and the rookie with him?” “Halifax? Hm, I’m not surprised. He always rushed things when I was around. Call in your deputies; we can talk on the way.” After I whistled for Toast and the others to come out of the stickies, Recon started leading us down the forum. Turning a corner, he started to speak. “The mods are powerful around here, certainly. But they aren’t the only ones with power. There are others, and I happen to know a few of them.” “However powerful they are won’t help me; if they could have gotten rid of Shishka alone, they would have done so by now.” “Oh, they know how to get rid of him. They just need a little help, from someone who’s not afraid to take a few risks. I believe you may be that person.” Recon paused and turned to face a link. He opened it and went inside. I followed him, and my deputies followed me. It was a small group; there was only four other people in there; Stosh, MakaVeli4Life, Blondbeard, and someone seated in a chair facing away from me. Recon went over to the chair and said “He’s here.” The chair turned around, and I could have sworn I heard thunder in the background. It was Achronos. “I believe you know who I am, detective. And I believe we may be able to help each other.” “What use could I be to you?” “We both have the same goal here; stop Shishka. And we each have talents that the other lacks. I’ll go first: I can bring you back if Shiska bans you.” “And me?” “You're good at keeping quiet and getting close to people. That's something that the rest of the mods here can't do. I've already had to bring Yoozel back three times. All that I'll require of you is that you follow my orders.” What else could I say? “I’m in. So, how would you like me to start?”[/quote] B-NET: Heresy Part 3 [quote][b]Posted by: MCs Brother[/b] Well, being blacklisted sucks. But it gave me plenty of time to write the ending to the Herecy trilogy. Hope ya like it. [b]Note to mods: If my posting this thru un gato is a violation of the rules, take it out on me. Not un gato. My idea. Not his. Punish MCs Brother. Not un gato. I think you get the idea.[/b] [i]Actually, I was the one who first suggested it.[/i] .......................................................... "I'm in. So how would you like me to start?" The force known as Achronos began to tell me his lengthy plan. It was risky, dangerous and hard hitting. [b]I liked it.[/b] "You will find him in New Mombasa. He has proclaimed himself ruler of b.net and has amassed a large army of haters, spammers and flamers. He has already taken The Septagon and his next target is The Flood. You may want to recruit more members." "I have just the person in mind" came my mysterious reply. I knocked on the door of Atsumi's profile, hoping to get a quick reply. She answered within two minutes. "What is it?" "Is Markham around? I need his help." "No. He's left the site til Shishka is caught. You caught me in the process of leaving too. If you're looking for help try Pink Menace." "Pink you in there?" I said as I opened the link to his grammar thread. "Go away! He'll find me!" "Pink it's us. We need help. We're going to catch Shishka." "I'm not helping! He'll blacklist me!" I left the thread before things got ugly. "I've never seen Menace so scared before" Tanikaze shakily replied. "Guys, it looks like were on our own. Tanikaze, Casey, Toast, un gato, Recon you guys up to this?" I asked. But before anyone could say anything someone walked toward us. He looked familiar and had an air of authority around himself. "I believe I can help as well" said Banshee Barron. "Ah, Barron. Done searching for the yellow banshee?" "Funny. As usual, MC's Bro, your humor merely shows how scared you are." "..........whatever. Let's go." As the newly modded Recon as our guide, we strode into the wasteland known as New Mombasa. It wasn't hard to find Shishka. The large army of haters gave him away. "Wow, Shishka. Got yourself quite an army here. Planning a tea party?" was Recon's witty challenge. "Silence, fools! I shall destroy you in one fatal blow. But first I shall demonstrate my wrath on the prodigy you call Tanikaze. DIE!" From nowhere, a band of flaming ninjas descended on Tanikaze. I tried to yell, but it was no good. So I made up my mind. I jumped in their way. "Uhhh. What the hell happened?" I woke up in the Flapping Shenanigan, Maka's group, in a daze and not sure what had hit me. "You took quite a beating. Two perma-bans and an entire forums worth of flames. Took Maka and Achronos to bring you back." Recon explained. "Did we get him? Did we capture Shishka?" "Yeah we got him. Or actually Banshee got him. Logic problem distracted him long enough for Achronos to blacklist him. He's fine now. Turns out he had stopped playing Halo 2." "My god! No wonder he went mad!" Achronos strode over just then. "Well, normally I'd thank you but then I wouldn't be Achronos. You did your job, detective. You and your deputies shall be rewarded." "I take it that this isn't gonna be the last time I have to take someone down?" "We'll see detective. We'll see......."[/quote] [Edited on 12/18/2004 9:40:34 PM]
