lumpenproletariat Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 The penguins, rather oblivious to the clear and present danger, followed the stout cigar smokers' directions. One penguin, by the name of Feathers McGraw, leaned to his closest waddling neighbour and whispered "Hey, I've heard of this OONAZ ka FON thing! - its when.......
The Portrait of Zool Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 ....The farwinkle gets confunkled with the derwhoppin." His neighbor looked at him in consternation, replying, "But what of the...
BelchFire Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 ...kitty? After all, you can't spell 'slaughter' without 'laughter'. Feathers Mcgraw pondered this rebuttal for a long moment, his eyes still following the meandering smoke, but then his attention was distracted by...
Gyrfalcon Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Posted October 19, 2005 Annnd... as of yesterday at midnight, the Roll Call is now over. Thank you to all who participated, please stand by for tallies of those who participated, and those who earned their weenies and double-weenies.
Gyrfalcon Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Posted October 21, 2005 Daryl trots in and looks around, then yerfs and yips to gather attention. When people have finally quieted down enough and regarded the fox with curiosity, he yaps and grins broadly and gesturing with his muzzle as Gyrfalcon walks in, a long scroll clutched in his hand. "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, the results have been tallied-" Gyrfalcon said. "And he near gave himself a headache tracking down and organizing everything." Daryl confided in a stage-yip, earning a glance of aggravation from the half-elf. "Anyway, before the fuzzball started adding his own opinion... the results have been tallied. Lists will be appended to the Role Call at the end of this announcement, but I'd like to congratulate the fifty-two people who participated in this Roll Call. To those forty-four people who earned their first Weenie... don't despair, for it'll be easy to make that disappear. And for the ninety people who earned their double-weenie... well, the same goes for you. In particular, thank you to Valka D'Ur and Starlight, honored guests who helped the Pen Roll Call. Otherwise, Initiate Kandara was granted a bye, as he was accepted only a few days before the end of the Roll Call." Gyrfalcon rolled open the top of his list and eyed the writing inside. "In percentages... of the 185 on the active membership roles, 27% responded to the roll call, 24% scored their first weenie, and 49% scored a second weenie. Before too many of you have heart attacks, most of these double-weenies come from our Initiates and Pages, and thus most likely from people who made an initial commitment to the Pen and then became busy elsewhere, found another writing community that suited them more, or became Initiates to better read the fine stories and poetry written here." Gyrfalcon coughed and took a sip of water from a water glass before continuing. "So, on to the point of this announcement. As in previous years, to earn off a Weenie award, simply write something new and creative, be it a short story or poetry, and in the sub-title indicate that the piece is for the purpose of removing your Weenie award. Once an Elder has a chance to read your work, you'll have your Weenie Award removed, as simple as that." "For those who have earned a double-weenie, with the exception of Doctor Evil, of course... They will be moved to the rolls of the Distant Wanderers, which will be split off the active membership roles and given its own section in the Lists of the Pen. Double-Weenies can have both Weenie rewards removed for the price of one creative piece, just the same as those with one Weenie. Otherwise, they just need to send me a Private Message to have them moved from the Distant Wanderers to the active membership list. Their normal rights attached to their rank and their title as Weenie will remain the same... mostly because I don't want to tack on ninety 'Double-'s to their Weenies." the half-elf explained, grinning with the last statement. Hm... otherwise, if anyone has questions, I'll be happy to answer them, here or via Private Message. Otherwise... here's the lists, names are listed in alphabetical order." the ranger finished, moving to the Roll Call board and tacking the list to it, letting the scroll roll down the wall to trail onto the floor.

Elvina Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 I have no idea what this whole 'weenie' thing is, or what all this is about. *drifts about confusedly...*
Sweetcherrie Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 *hugs Elvina warmly* This might be of help Not to worry, you're an honoured guest...not too much affected by it....though it would always be nice to welcome a new person in our midsts as initiate of course, so maybe apply? *hugs again and drifts off herself to do some posting*
DL_Snake Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) i wasn't aware of this i got a weenie!!! two even!! woohoo *runs around poking random people with his shiny weenie awards* nyahnyah Edited October 24, 2005 by DL_Snake
DL_Snake Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 W00T!! I log in and found out, to my utter delight, that I received a DOUBLE weenie award. *Look at his shiny awards lovingly* SO guess what, I got this wonderful idea, of making a Weenie Alumni!!! Anybody who won the award can be an alumnus (or alumna), and will be entitled to a free flow of drinks!!! *realizes midspeech that the weenie winners are mostly the ones who don't post regularly and swallows* So anybody interested to join this club? We even provide dental! *pours himself a stiff drink to calm his nerves* *taps tail nervously*
Sparhawk Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 soway, I haven't looked at The Pen for a while...I'll start checking things here again, maybe even make a post or two.
Gyrfalcon Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Posted December 31, 2005 *cough* Just a little late, Signe... don't worry, you're in good company. *grins* Anyway, any creative piece with a subtitle along the lines of 'buying off the weenie award' makes it go away. *grins*
Gyrfalcon Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Posted February 2, 2006 Sometime around September - Roll Call has been a yearly event, so far.
Salinye Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 To be honest, I don't even know if I was ever at the board between September and December. *sighs* Oh well, double weenie it is. :0) ~Salinye
Gyrfalcon Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Posted February 2, 2006 *cough* Well, I'm lazy, so double-weenies are just your regular weenies. Just give me a prod when you're more active, and you get removed from the Far Wanderer list in the room of lists. Coincidentally, one post takes care of all weenies you might have accumulated.
Rune Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 I'm a double weenie.. Does that mean I get two hot dogs instead of one at the pen carnival this year? Course I coulda been a Chiweenie and then we would all be in trouble.
Gyrfalcon Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Posted March 22, 2006 Well, if I'm running the hotdog stand, sure. *grins* Hm... that's a cute dog... hopefully nicer then the dachshunds it originates from.
