Track Record (a letter to the readers)

Thanks in large part to Reogan this blog has been in business; posting every day so far since December 24th, 2009. Of course let's not forget Elphaba, who after finally making it through a tough first half full of blogger conspiracies has emerged as quite the contributer and practically replaced me in terms of commenting on everything Reogan posts. This is nice because it gives me a break to do other things, but I hope to return to the force I was before Elphaba's arrival. Then there's whatever his name is nowadays; apparently it's Quopar at the moment. After initially going through a few times of being an author and not being an author he's come back to post almost every week although I admit he's rarely on time. Hopefully he'll step it up again, but even I'm a bit impressed at the level he has brought it to thus far; so props to him. Now we come to me; the nearly invisible admin I've been over the last four months or so is sort of a metaphor for my posting as compared to Reogan. So I've decided to become involved a bit more if I can, I'm actually very tempted to hijack Thursday Thoughts, but it'll probably now be broken even a bit more between Reogan and I posting and then maybe an occasional song of the "week". I could also end up helping Reogan out on a few of his stories. I want to become more involved here and if you've got an idea for something you'd like to see from me please post it; keeping in mind this is me and I'm not Reogan. Speaking of which I finally tagged all my posts under my name so you can see all of my posts total. Hopefully this has served some use in informing you. I always appreciate valid input; see you around.

I didn't exactly see it as a conspiracy... well, okay, I sort of did when Reogan refused to tell me. But the method I used was actually fairly accurate. Yay! But now I am as informed as I really want to be. (Frankly, the inner workings of the other authors' minds are not something I want to contemplate for any length of time, even though I'm as crazy as y'all are.)

This was a cool thing to post, Met. Thanks!

Qupar said...

Actually, it's Qupar, and it's only changed twice. Once because I used to use my real name and another time because Figroth just sounded retarded. Unless you count Meta Knight, which was a while ago and I was not as creative as I am now, though I'm still not compared to some

Reogan said...

You have no idea how happy your return makes me.

I don't however know what you should do. All my ideas are 'Reogan' ideas, which I think is reasonable, considering who I am. There just not much help here.

Elphaba said...

Yeah, Qupar has a point. He only changed it twice, and it's stayed consistent now. But the comment was a little funny. :P (No offense, Qupar.)

Reogan said...

Three times. At least.

Met said...

"You have no idea how happy your return makes me."

Thank you :)

"I don't however know what you should do. All my ideas are 'Reogan' ideas, which I think is reasonable, considering who I am. There just not much help here."

Bring it on ner vod, I'll work with you as long as it doesn't involve communism. After all, "Reogan ideas" are why this blog is successful in a lot of ways.

Reogan said...

Heh. Successful.

Elphaba said...

Why do you laugh at the word "successful?" This blog is successful. Besides that, it kicks butt anyway! Yeah, RPS!!!!!! :P

Reogan said...

Sure it is.

Elphaba said...

Why would you think it isn't?

Reogan said...

I need readers to validate my existence. Get me some and I'll agree.

Elphaba said...

I tell people about the blog. Whether or not they choose to follow up on that is their decision. What do you want me to do, send an e-mail to all my friends saying, "Read this blog!"? (I have no idea how to work that out grammatically.)

Reogan said...

Good plan! Convince them to make it a chain email too.

I hope you include relatives in 'friends.'

Elphaba said...

Why not.

Elphaba said...

They'll probably ignore it, though.

Reogan said...

Send it twice a day or program a virus that will only refrain from destruction if they visit this site. Or both.

Elphaba said...

Um, no. I like my friends & family.

Reogan said...

What are you implying?



Think well before you respond.

Elphaba said...

While I won't deny that how you took my comment was hilarious, I didn't mean that! I meant I would never send my family and friends a computer virus. Plus the fact that some of my family members don't have computers.



Laugh or mock and you will be hurt.

Reogan said...

Family and friends are a virus. What's one more?

Elphaba said...

I love my family and friends! They're not a virus, and I wouldn't want to send them one!

Reogan said...

Three falsehoods in two sentences. I'm so proud.

Elphaba said...

They are not falsehoods! Every part of that comment is true.

Reogan said...

You really should be a comedian.

Elphaba said...

And you should try being sane for a change, but we both know that neither of those things are going to happen, are they?

Reogan said...

True. You fail to be intentionally funny, and I will always see more than a mortal should.

Elphaba said...

You need severe psychological help.

Reogan said...

You need to quit lying.

Elphaba said...

Are you saying you're sane?

Reogan said...

I'd have to be crazy to say that.

Elphaba said...

True. However, realizing your insanity doesn't make you sane.

Reogan said...

Or does it?

Elphaba said...

No, it doesn't.

Reogan said...

Lie.

Elphaba said...

Nuh-uh.

Reogan said...

You have lost.

Elphaba said...

No, you have lost.

Reogan said...

You said "Nuh-uh." You lost.

Elphaba said...

Meh. That's okay.

Reogan said...

Grand.

Met said...

I love reading this...

"Family and friends are a virus. What's one more?"

Elphaba; you need to watch the Matrix. This sounds like Smith philosophy to me.

Reogan said...

By the way, Elphaba, where are the readers your emailing should have gained? You didn't fail in your duties, did you?

Elphaba said...

None of my family members have Google accounts, and I don't have most of their e-mail addresses either. Sorry!

Reogan said...

Then find them. People can comment anonymously. They needn't have Google accounts.

Elphaba said...

I'll e-mail my friends today. Better?

Reogan said...

What of the other virus?

Elphaba said...

I don't send viruses to people I like. End of discussion.

Reogan said...

I was referring to your family.

Elphaba said...

I like most of my family. The ones I don't, I don't have e-mail addresses for anyway, and I still wouldn't send them a virus.

Reogan said...

No, no, no. They are the virus I was referring to.

Elphaba said...

You are in DANGEROUS territory, Reogan. My family is NOT a virus. Watch yourself...

Reogan said...

You didn't seem to mind back on March 9th.

Elphaba said...

Love and like are separate.

Reogan said...

I was referring to 7:45 PM.

Elphaba said...

What? I still said they weren't a virus!

Reogan said...

With less conviction, though.

Elphaba said...

Not the point. You mess with my family, you mess with me. I am uber-protective of them all.

Reogan said...

So when I eradicate them you'll be less than pleased?
