Reports have been flying in of a spat between new IT professional @Jason West and archaeology guru @Ann Tickwittee. The misdemeanor was reported on Friday, when Jason West was suffering from lack of sleep due to server issues in Accolade Tower (Yeah we've heard that excuse before in a @Deric Storm vs. @Lee Jordan case.) To relieve stress, West took a potato cannon out and fired it inside the Neutral Grounds cabin, even after being asked not to fire it by Ann. West reports feeling threatened by Ann who was holding a chisel. He drew his weapon and issued a halt command. Ann threatened to report Jason, weapons were taken, apologies were made and all of ACME is left wondering what indeed happened between the two. Rumor has it tensions are still high. We asked Ann for a comment, to which she stated, "I don't believe in violence, especially to the degree that firearms are intended." Is suspension for both agents in the air? The Bay Gull will bring you more as the story progresses.[hr][/hr][fieldset=Dear Abby|100] "Dear Abby, How you're like fur hats? We're works great together! I'm mostly single! Call me.

Not a place for you to write in search for a girl. Normally, that would be where I would end this letter, but I am, unfortunately, paid per column; so here is advice:

It is the normal procedure to have a conversation with someone before you claim ‘we’re works great together!’. If that is really the case after the initial chat, then you can proceed to ask someone out. Also, it is advisable never to say ‘mostly single’. What does that mean? To me, it implies that you have a girlfriend in your life, and so I would be entertainment until you were ready to move back to what made you ‘mostly’ single in the begin. That shows immaturity.

Lastly, please don’t call yourself a ‘great boyfriend’. You receive that title through time, actions, and maturity.
-Abby (@Rose)

By: @Pete Moss

ACME has a Marina! If you didn't know about this, now you do! The dock area that airfield staff uses to transport to and from ACME Airfield is a fully fuctional marina area with ship services and repair staff on hand for all your boating needs. Now, to facilitate more ACME employees, the Marina staff have opened a new 'Public Awareness Center' to spread the word. Go down there, get some coffee while you wait for a ferry, and find out what you've been missing.

Fun for the whole family![/fieldset]Paint Ball Classic - Spotted! ACME's professors and bosses having a paintball tournament. They might have used codenames but we cracked their secret. Mall Ninja (@Deric Storm), Angry Airman (@Eugene Grovington), Well Dressed Tyrant (@Chase Devineaux) and Flaming Princess (@Ivy Monaghan) - We heard eyes were poked and egos were bruised!

Kitchen Nightmares - Is ACME's reigning kitchen king @Eugene Grovington having issues with sharing his stove? Looks like it might lead to a fight with a certain new comer if someone fans the flames.

Subleting in the Dorms? - @Molly and @Colleen may be sharing their pad with more than one other gal pal. Our spies hear whisperings of another chick named Xena and occasionally one named Inara popping up in conversations. Could this mean trouble from the dorm cops?

Scene Stealer - Is nurse @Constance leaving ACME to pursue a career of music? Daily violin recitals have shown her more than capable. ACME Medical Center may be losing a key staff member soon.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
