I'm sorry everyone -- I was a bit more swamped yesterday with work then I'd ever thought imaginable. Anyways, I had tried to make a few posts in here the past few days, but my (new) computer's apparently being a bitch. I think the problem's solved though.

So, I haven't been active in a couple of days, but I think this should make up for my lost time.
Welcome to the club.
Rat- Part Two
This was truly excellent. I liked the storytelling in the beginning, and I loved how Ghost was... er... fearless. Exciting stuff.

I'm in favor of dropping the fifty post requirement... but I still have some reservations. I'm mostly with Fragment on this one. We're truly limiting the number of newer members we could be getting by having this rule -- now and then, we might be surprised to find that there are some truly intelligent new members around here.

Maybe the rule could be changed that instead of a 50 post requirement, we could have a probation time instead, where the person who requests to join could get kicked out if they mess up in any way.
Truthfully, I support this more than the above. It lets us have an official way of kicking people instead of accepting someone and kicking them later -- I'd feel like too much of a douche.
I'd say a week of active posting would be a good idea of what the requirement should be. But, I'm just throwing ideas out there.

Now for a truly awesome story, about Ghost being fearful... of something else... anyways, not my best work, but I felt I needed to write something.
Gaywad
"Everyone, listen up!" exclaimed Ghost, sneering as he tossed away his cigar. He stood on a table in the center of the room, with everyone else around him. "The Mafia is instituting a no gay policy. After Snype tried to... 'touch' Serf..."
Serf's body still sat in the corner, his brains blown out, and his gun still in his hand.
"He'll be cleaned up tomorrow," reassured Ghost quickly, diverting from his topic. "Anyways, we've decided that if anyone tries to be openly gay in the Mafia, they'll be shot. Understand?" Most people cheered, save Fragment and Snype, both of whom were closet homosexuals.
"B-but Ghost!" exclaimed Snype suddenly.
"STFU GAYWAD!" screamed a person no one had seen before, and the kid shot Snype in the balls. Snype fell over, in agony.
"New guy," whispered Tangent to Nomader, who only nodded. "Nice to meet 'cha," Tangent said a bit louder towards the new guy, and the new guy flashed a grin.
Fragment, now scared, started to run. But Triv was ready. "We have a fag running in the Northeast hallway!" exclaimed Triv, and everyone, fully armed, ran off save Triv who continued to watch his machine, Nomader who went off to the bar, and Tangent.
Tangent glanced around once, and then once more. Slowly he approached Triv, and whispered. "So... we on for tonight?" Triv only giggled.
Fin.
