Yes, my avatar is by Orb. She said that it is one of her favorites and I love it. It came about because of our mutual interest in Alice: An Interactive Adventure. She and I, along with Kay wrote a walkthrough for the game, the only one that I know of. I was there at the beginning of FFC and am so glad that it continues as Tap-Repeatedly. I love all of Orb's art.

Helga! Yes the very possibly fevered creation of Jen and Orb. As I remember Helga was the muscle, right? Jen and Orb being the brains of the outfit and all about peace, love and understanding and the fearsome Helga the enforcer with the lead pipe. This Pheonix person I know not of. Perhaps she did the books?

As I recall from my Orientation Email, Phoenix was a share-all handle that people could use if they didn't want to write under their regular nicknames. [Image Can Not Be Found]

I swear that's what you wrote in my Welcome Aboard FFC email! My memory is a steel trap!

And sex on the laundry machine (same woman, different guy), and a giant cumstain on the guest bed I was to use (yuck! super yuck!) (same woman, yet another guy).


I remember you lot talking about that party when I first ventured into the Memorial Lounge & Bordello — I thought I'd stumbled into some sort of hedonistic romping party forum where that sort of thing was a regular occurence. Three guys in one night? Who the hell was she?

Oh and Scout, the original Discworld was probably the hardest adventure game me, Lew and my mum ever played. 'That doesn't work' is a phrase that will stay with us until our dying days. The puzzles involving L-Space were just crazy.

@Steerpike: More like a steel sieve [Image Can Not Be Found]

 

@Gregg: She came dressed as a cavegirl or viking or some such, a skimpy faux-fur thing. She only ever showed up that one time, and to this day nobody has any idea who she was.

Yeah, it's kind of amazing we didn't scare Gregg off early. Now he's inured to us.

But if you really wanted to know who she was it sounds like she left sufficent DNA behind in her fake furry wake.

Thanks for sharing your 'origin' stories guys, interesting stuff!
