- caseorganic: having lunch in manzinita at the coast
- * manimal teleports to manzinita
- caseorganic: hey manimal!
- caseorganic: thanks for visiting the coast!
- caseorganic: you can see many whales
- caseorganic: and curious people
- caseorganic: lots of dogs, too
- caseorganic: on your left you see a log cabin
- caseorganic: do you....
- caseorganic: enter the cabin
- caseorganic: head west
- manimal: caseorganic: head west
- manimal: I'm all about the beach
- caseorganic: you head west. the sky overhead is bright blue. there are waves crashing gently in front of you. you begin to walk on sand.
- caseorganic: do you...
- caseorganic: look down at the sand
- caseorganic: look to the horizon
- manimal: look to the horizon
- caseorganic: you see three ships on the horizon. one is heading straight toward you.
- caseorganic: do you...
- caseorganic: decide to swim towards it
- caseorganic: get out your rocket launcher and fire at it
- caseorganic: wave your arms to see if it will pick you up
- manimal: decide to swim towards it
- manimal: I hope the ship is serving lunch. :)
- caseorganic: you decide to swim towards the ship. as you get closer, you see many people aboard. it seems they are venture capitalists throwing a party
- caseorganic: do you....
- caseorganic: practice your elevator pitch
- manimal: lol
- caseorganic: pretend you are a vc from another country
- caseorganic: try to sneak aboard disguised as a waiter
- manimal: practice your elevator pitch
- caseorganic: you practice your elevator pitch for a social network for walruses as you climb aboard the ship
- caseorganic: do you...
- caseorganic: talk to the nearest vc
- caseorganic: try to dry yourself off
- caseorganic: find food in the galley
- manimal: oh thats easy... find food in the galley
- tylergillies: ITS A TRAP!
- Loqi: OH HOW INTERESTING
- manimal: can't schmooze properly on an empty stomach
- manimal: i hope they have crab cakes
- caseorganic: you go to find food in the galley. on your right you see caviar, on your left you see endangered tiger meat.
- caseorganic: do you...
- caseorganic: go right
- caseorganic: go left
- caseorganic: leave the room in search of crab cakes
- manimal: go left... can't fill up on caviar and food in hand is better than maybe finding food later.
- manimal: I hope we're in international waters by now
- KodinLanewave: I'd smell for crab cakes
- caseorganic: you grab the endangered tiger meat and begin to chow down on it
- caseorganic: a venture capitalist approaches you on the left
- caseorganic: do you...
- caseorganic: strike up a conversation
- caseorganic: run away
- caseorganic: hit him over the head with the tiger meat and steal the crab cakes he has in his hand
- KodinLanewave: Ask capitalist where he got crab cakes.
- manimal: rofl... hit him over the head with the tiger meat and steal the crab cakes he has in his hand
- KodinLanewave: If he got the last ones do as per Manimal's gut reaction
- caseorganic: you hit the vc over the head with the tiger meat and steal his crab cakes. the vc makes a small squeal as he falls. a small container and a packet of business cards fall out of his pocket
- caseorganic: do you...
- caseorganic: examine the container and business cards
- caseorganic: pick up the container and business cards and search him for his wallet
- caseorganic: run away, ashamed of what you've done
- dael: pick up the container and business cards and search him for his wallet
- manimal: hmm... we're still in international waters right? pick up the container and business cards and search him for his wallet
- manimal: yea what dael said. :)
- dael: :D
- caseorganic: you added two items to your collection container.contain, and businesscards.biz
- caseorganic: you search the vc for his wallet and find it
- caseorganic: you added $250,000 to your account.
- manimal: look businesscards.biz
- manimal: :)
- dael: yay, let's buy a house!
- caseorganic: command not found. use cat to open file contents
- KodinLanewave: first thing I think is "buffer overflow"
- KodinLanewave: unless it's a plot device...
- manimal: cat businesscards.biz | grep email
- caseorganic: steve.jurvetson@dfj.com
- caseorganic: you open businesscards.biz - the contents read Steve Jurvetson
- caseorganic: Draper Fisher Jurvetson http://www.drapervc.com/
- caseorganic: Steve Jurvetson is beginning to wake up from the tiger meat attack
- caseorganic: do you...
- caseorganic: run away
- caseorganic: tell him you have his money
- caseorganic: give him an elevator pitch
- manimal: give him an elevator pitch - like any good entrepreneur, I believe my idea will overwhelm any other VC instincts :)
- KodinLanewave: ROFL
- manimal: if it isn't insane, you shouldn't be doing it right?
- caseorganic: you decide to give him an elevator pitch
- KodinLanewave: manimal: fair enough
- manimal: open... open.... open....
- caseorganic: you pitch steve jervetson
- caseorganic: he gets angry and tries to punch you in the face
- caseorganic: do you...
