How about we all use are massive skills and intelligence to attempt to contact everyone missing from Snarkpit between now and New Years Day to see if we can get one massive get together between now and then?

I figure that between IRC, ICQ, MSN, E-Mail, Word of mouth and a whole slough of different methods we should be able to get ahold of nearly everyone left alive.

It would be nice to see Scary Jeff, Gollum, WildCard, Dietz and all the rest here in this thread saying "Hello"

Send the link to this thread to anyone and everyone you know to come here for a hopefully long awaited gabfest.

You mean 5th perhaps?

This is a legitimate thread. Its not a "setup" for anything, or anyone. :rolleyes:

What I meant was: this is the perfect time for Orph to come back.

I think its a good idea. I hope you don't think I was trying to undercut it.

Sorry, I am a bit touchy on that subject still. I suppose the hour I spent crying on Reno's shoulder last night didn't cure me of it yet.

Perhaps someone has a better shoulder I can borrow tonight?

It would show a little more faith to allow us to decide your value. I admit, many of us are about as useful as a bedpan with a hole in the end. I for one do not see many completely useless members.

Hi there gringos! Seems like a nice idea to inject a bit of community festive spirit into the Pit. I'll be around a lot more as of the 22nd - i'm heading home from sunny (and rioty) Australia due to lack of cash and car :razz:

Let's see who else surfaces for this. We should even invite progamer777 as a gesture of goodwill.

Actually, scratch that last idea :razz:

Edit: and hey, making a map would seem like a good idea. I'll finish one eventually, I swear. For now I just hold sway over that vastly underused server, pfft.

We should get Rugal back, or whoever that angry bastard guy we banned 8 or so times was... That would be funny :biggrin:

Just to say to all you abandonee's, I don't map, but I'm still here- your excuses are poor!

Rugal was an evil, evil man that constantly tried to sabotage the pit. We kept banning him but he kept re-registering and abusing everyone.

He made more of a fool of himself than anything else, and I'm a poet- yes, I do know it. :razz:

As for obtaining MSN's french toast, you should notice at the bottom of everyones post is an msn icon- you can add people with that.
