Title: A Day in the HTC office
Post by: Furball on July 24, 2008, 01:26:42 PM
I wonder what they actually do on a daily basis in the HTC office?  I think we should make up a diary of events for a day... I will start: -

0900  Skuzzy arrives, turns on the lights, starts the coffee machine & starts reading the bbs.
0905  Pyro turns up with a big pile of books in Japanese and Russian about aircraft, sits down and quietly starts researching/translating.
0915  Superfly drives up, crashes into the sign outside in his pimpmobile, gets out, comes in the office and starts bragging about the hos he had last night and about how hungover he is.
0920   HiTech comes in with a big crate of bribe whiskey and calls a meeting saying that he has "decided" to introduce a new aircraft to AH...

Continue

0920  Skuzzy slaps Rollins with a Rule #7 violation for posting his willingness to punch a liger.  Rollins sees this and actually agrees with the assessment, vowing never again to view the BBS in the haze of an over the counter sleep aid.
0921  After polling the other HTC staff, Skuzzy arrives at the conclusion that this may be the first time in the history of the internets that someone has expressed a desire to defeat a liger in hand to hand combat.

1406 HT says: "Nah" and decide to go get lunch instead.  Waffle, upon seeing the food tangled in Skuzzy's white beard realises that he had already eaten all the food in the HTC fridge.  Lifting his head up from his desk after falling asleep, Superfly says he will go out and collect some "munchies".

1443--After grabbing a hot cup of coffee from the HTC break room, Waffle takes a day old piece of stale pizza from the breakroom
                  fridge and starts gnawing on it

1530    With a screech of tires outside, Superfly returns to the office.  On his travels to collect munchies he succeeds in buying some pringles, marshmellows and twinkies.  The HTC crew are most pleased.

1545    HT calls for a meeting and sits on his throne which is positioned beneath a massive portrait of himself, his minions bow down and sit on the floor.  HT says that following a generous, anonymous donation they will be developing the B-29 for AH.  They then group chant the 'Perkie Prayer'.

1010    Things are quite quiet at the HTC office, so they decide to go play AH under their shade accounts. HiTech logs in as 'Zoozoo', Super chooses his 'Hub' account, Skuzzy meanwhile has been deliberating between Lazs and Megadud - unable to decide between old and grouchy or young and annoying.  Pyro is googling information on "NOOK" for the new B-29 development.

Noticing that Pyro is not his normal self, Rosie excuses herself and heads to the HTC breakroom for some coffee.  Pyro feels an unexpected urge to head down the street to the Grapevine Newsstand and buy some pron.  Office Sexual Harrassment Trifecta now in play.

13:26  Pyro, having avoided contact with the others for a while decides on his course of action. He races down to the HTC bunker and launches three random 'auto-muted for typing F4U' missles into the server. Cmustard takes all three hits. Result.
 Not satisfied with his destruction, Pyro heads to the score servers and hits the button marked 'Random noob with 3 sorties to win fighter ranking'. Laughing quietly to himself pyro sneaks up to HT's office and waits for the flood of whines to start pouring in from the regular top rankers.
 But whats this? Skuzzy has already picked up the phone in the main office. Cursing under his breath, Pyro peeks into HT's office. A half empty bottle of whiskey sits on the table and HT is snoring happily.
 "Revenge shall be mine" snickers pyro as his plan begins to take shape.....

1400

HT calls the entire staff into his office after waking from his whiskey induced nap. they brainstorm on what to do. the staff, having been hitting the super secret stash that HT keeps for emergency, all decide that both LW arenas will now have the most annoying maps they can find. they change the coad so that despite the bish best efforts, the maps cannot be reset.

 they all return to their offices/cubicles after this fun meeting, to monitoor the BBS. they start a pool on how long till the first complaint comes up about it, and a pool on who will be the first one.

 HT secretly writes an invincibility coad for the SAAP guys, and gives the la's and spits, all unlimited ammo. chuckling evily, he heads out for a late lunch.
