A much more exciting announcement for the universe!!!

[limbimtimwim]

You probably want to sit down for this one folks. As you are no doubt aware, this universe has grown considerably over the years and has become a fantastic resource for all sentient beings. And some sub sentient ones like Finn. From organised wars, technical theft, new enemies & STDs, to heated debate. It's been a fantastic life and we should all take our hats off to God, Xenu, Vishnu, Rangi and Papa, Gaea etc etc.

However, the cost and resources required to run what has become the universe today is astronomical and here's where it gets exciting. Over the past few months, the gods and I have been negotiating a commercial arrangement for me to purchase the univserse. Now before you start freaking out, the gods will still own the universe gist and general 'vibe' of things and will continue to be involved with the universe.

So what changes can we expect? While this is still under negotiation, I want to make it very clear that I don't want to mess with a winning formula, so no major changes for some time until you've had your say. To communicate with your god, have massed prayer and then make sacrifices to him/her/it.

There are some initial transparent changes we would like to make that will enhance your user experience. As some of you may know, I run a few companies, one of which is in the universe business. We do hosting, development, content and all sorts of dimensional stuff (Got a cool 36.5 dimension universe I show all my customers!!!) with universes. We plan to migrate the site to our more common 2 dimensional universe which is easier to administrate. From here we plan to expand the functionality making this a feature rich universe. In addition, while your historical sacrificial help has been greatly appreciated, further sacrifices will need to be made. Virgins especially. Lots of virgins. Your gods hunger for virgins.

We'll keep you posted with progress. Well that's all for now so get back to work!

I favour chartreuse myself... a delicate shade...

I'm not getting involved in this. The last time I tried to create a universe it all went horribly wrong and I ended up having to do a complete reformat and reinstall. And I'm betting that God has no idea where he put the CD key after he created this one. (I really did y'know. I clicked on the button marked "Create Universe". Big mistake)

[Kendog]

Drinking on a Monday night?

[Madness]

You going to re-instate Pluto?

[Hitcher]

I hope that this universe-creating thing isn't some sort of joint venture with Microsoft?


Cheat: Tick both poll boxes.

[limbimtimwim]

You going to re-instate Pluto?Bring us virgins and whatever you want, we can do.

[Madness]

Bring us virgins and whatever you want, we can do.

It's slim pickings 'roind here Bro!

[Colapop]

Virgins? You can have Disco Dan...

You left out Mr Poo's [the god of beer....also know as the beer fairy in auckland]


your chances of recieving you last 10 beers is rapidly diminishing!!

[Virago]

Can you confirm at this stage that the answer is still 42????

[Colapop]

I want to know why the poll = 120%?? Ye gods, messing with my head...

[Ixion]

No. It's 47.25 now. You forgot to allow for GST (Godly Service Tax)

[Hitcher]

I want to know why the poll = 120%?? Ye gods, messing with my head...

I'll give you a clue: you can tick both boxes...

Now you do the math.

[McJim]

. I clicked on the button marked "Create Universe". Big mistake

Bet you shat yourself when all you got was a Big Bang! :rofl:

[McJim]

Virgins? You can have Disco Dan...

The gods need USEABLE virgins...not eternal virgins.

[Curious_AJ]

how relevant to my life!!

[Ixion]

I want to know why the poll = 120%?? Ye gods, messing with my head...

It's a rounding error. Don't worry about it. It means you get 20% more universe for the same money. AND you can get Flybuy points with that.

[skelstar]

This guy is by far the funniest person (to me) on this forum. Period.

I'd like to continue my role in this Universe.

[Colapop]

Can I trade my wibble for cheese?

User guides would be useful.
(Including the virgins as some of us have forgotten how that ritual goes.)

And I thought they were giving away Air parsecs...

Frank Sinatra likes Jupiter and Mars... Fly me to the moo...

[Grub]

I humbly submit my poor insignificant personage as your new Minister of Truth, Free Speech and Information.

I had considered the post of Minister of the Interior but I have explored many interiors and now wish for something a little more .... edgy?

[ZeroIndex]

this almost deserves to be put in the pointless dribble... it's just like that one about KB getting sold...

[mstriumph]

.... leave cowpoos OUT of this ...........

[Swoop]

I hope you have your universe backed up on disc somewhere.

[TerminalAddict]

what you really need is a sys admin/universe whore

I know just the guy ;)

[MSTRS]

Where does this leave poor old Albert and his Theory?

[Ixion]

I hope you have your universe backed up on disc somewhere.

It's backed up in L-space. Somewhere. For variable (and erratic) values of somewhere. Retrieval may be interesting. Provide plenty of bananas.

Ooooooook - Go the Librarian.

[Eurodave]

Speaking of virgins..... this whole thread is 'virgin' on the ridiculous !!

[Colapop]

Did anyone get baby photo's of the universe? They're always good to show round... now that it's getting on... When was the oil last changed?

[WRT]

Ooooooook - Go the Librarian.

Librarians rule, Ook?

We have Bill Gates in KB????

Welcome sir...

[Ixion]

Well, y'know I guess we'd all have to agree that the egg and cress sandwich method of creating a universe doesn't really produce such good results . After all, that's how we ended up with this present mess.

And since God's always keen to move with the times, I guess He decided that a modern day electronic approach was called for (after a few lessons from the grandkids next time they're over). Sadly, the result was worse than the egg and cress sandwich. Some thing just can't be computerised.
