Up with me! Thu Nov 4 14:06:43 2671 Radio KORE: [Barf]: Perfect! https://coremud.org/koreweb.log Thu Nov 4 15:15:12 2671 Radio KORE: [Barf]: Edgar's Pub: EVERYBODY'S A WINNER!!!! Thu Nov 4 15:29:12 2671 Radio KORE: [Barf]: Don't be a Smart Alec; visit Alec's Lizon shop today! Thu Nov 4 15:36:40 2671 [Barf]: Another log test.... Thu Nov 4 15:48:45 2671 [Barf]: Did somebody say "Happy Hour at Edgar's"? Thu Nov 4 17:18:33 2671 [Barf]: Call-in lines are open! Thu Nov 4 17:19:06 2671 [Random Company Official]: Barf sucks Thu Nov 4 17:21:38 2671 [Barf]: Nope. Too busy drinking, my uppidy friend! Thu Nov 4 17:22:24 2671 [Dusty]: Dusty here, inviting Random Company Official to go fornicate themselves with an Odra male in heat. Thu Nov 4 17:23:03 2671 [Barf]: That.... could become rather painful. We all know that Odra have 4 arms. What ELSE do they have multiples of, hmmm??? Thu Nov 4 17:27:31 2671 [Barf]: Rando... f it. Let's call him RCO for short. He/she/it/they/them get no Blackjack machine. Thu Nov 4 17:27:56 2671 [Barf]: Keeping track of these pronouns is quite exhausing. RCO is just "turd". Thu Nov 4 17:29:34 2671 [Barf]: In other news, an election happened recently on Earth. The outcome? Core's miners say wholeheartedly "WHO CARES?!? As long as The Company provides credits for mining, we'll keep on mining." Thu Nov 4 17:29:55 2671 [Barf]: Now that's the spirit! Long live The Company! The Company is your friend! Thu Nov 4 17:30:34 2671 [Mick]: You paid shill!!!! Better watch your back.... Thu Nov 4 17:31:13 2671 [Barf]: Nope I'm an unpaid volunteer. No hush money slipped under the table to me. At least not that you know about! Thu Nov 4 17:31:30 2671 [Random Company Official]: Who are you calling a paid Shill, somebody stole my job! Thu Nov 4 17:31:50 2671 [Random Company Official]: I'm the only paid shill around here Thu Nov 4 17:32:17 2671 [Mick]: I wasn't talking to you, paid Company monkey. I was addressing the moron behind the station's mic. Thu Nov 4 17:32:38 2671 [Barf]: Now now. Plenty of credits here on this colony to go around for everyone! Thu Nov 4 17:32:54 2671 [Random Company Official]: Down with Mick! Thu Nov 4 17:33:08 2671 [Mick]: Down with YOU! Thu Nov 4 17:33:22 2671 [Barf]: Things are getting heated up here on the airwaves, folks! I'm pouring myself a refill! Thu Nov 4 17:35:09 2671 [Random Company Official]: You are right, there's room for more than one paid company monkey around here, have fun barf, Mick's your problem now.... Thu Nov 4 17:35:27 2671 [Barf]: Earlier today a holovid girl spammed my comm unit. cc'd at least 20 other miners. All the sudden I'm getting these "reply to all" messages asking "WHO IS THIS?" and "STOP TEXTING ME, I'M JUST x YEARS OLD." I'm reminded of when I worked in the corporate world.... Thu Nov 4 17:36:26 2671 [Barf]: One former co-worker, and I do mean former, gave an equisite f-you on his final day on the job. He had already turned in his 2-week notice, blah blah blah. Thu Nov 4 17:37:02 2671 [Barf]: A stupid "virus" was spreading around the comms at the time. Thu Nov 4 17:37:24 2671 [Barf]: Someone replies to all and says "STOP REPLYING TO ALL!!!!" Thu Nov 4 17:37:57 2671 [Barf]: So this bozo on his last day had the last laugh. Replied to all with simply "how do I stop replying to all?" Chef's kiss. Thu Nov 4 17:40:27 2671 [Mick]: My last day on the job in an office setting played out a little different. Mining is sooooo much better. I set my own hours and get paid immediately when clocking out. Thu Nov 4 17:40:52 2671 [Mick]: We knew layoffs were coming and there would be a 20% haircut at corporate. Thu Nov 4 17:41:49 2671 [Mick]: Being a team lead at the time, I suspected I would be counted in the 20%. At the time I was likely the highest-paid member on my team. Thu Nov 4 17:42:54 2671 [Mick]: So I had a device queued up with the "sad trombone" sound clip. You all know the one. "waaaah waaaah" Thu Nov 4 17:44:03 2671 [Mick]: Sure enough, my VP shows up at my desk, which he never did because I ran my team how I saw fit. I clicked "Play". My team heard. Thu Nov 4 17:44:36 2671 [Barf]: But what happened next, Mick? Did the VP actually lay you off? Thu Nov 4 17:45:21 2671 [Mick]: Sure did. But I don't care. Got paid severance and then got this here mining gig. Thu Nov 4 17:45:45 2671 [Barf]: My dear listeners, that right there is a happy end to a story! Thu Nov 4 17:48:29 2671 [Legoean]: Hey Mick & Barf what do you think of the new mining policy banning litterboxs from the shaft? Thu Nov 4 17:49:27 2671 [Barf]: Well just now I yelled at my cat to get off the transmission booth's control panel. I don't think cats would be happy in the mines. Thu Nov 4 17:51:01 2671 [Mick]: Not so fast, buster! Those mines.... all of that dust. Its a natural litter box to be sure! Thu Nov 4 17:51:45 2671 [Barf]: But Mick, there's a flaw in your logic. Thu Nov 4 17:52:23 2671 [Barf]: A litter box can be filled with PUDDING. We need to keep VP Steve's needs in mind. Thu Nov 4 17:53:53 2671 [Legoean]: follow up question, would it be possible to add restroom facilities for people in place of the litterboxes? some of these holes sure are deep and we could really use the relief. Thu Nov 4 17:53:56 2671 [Mick]: Dude. I just know you ordered one of those little tubs for kids from Earth, and you fill it with pudding. Thu Nov 4 17:54:48 2671 [Barf]: I did. And I just roooooooll around in it, just for the giggles. Thu Nov 4 17:56:22 2671 [Barf]: Legoean I would need to consult with Company management. Of course, as an unpaid volunteer I have no cloud whatsoever. For now I'd say: turn around for your privacy, unzip, and let your freak flag fly! Thu Nov 4 17:57:03 2671 [Barf]: Unless its #2. Then you need to go back to your apartment and do that in private. Because.... ewww. Thu Nov 4 17:57:40 2671 [Barf]: The Company loves us, but not so much to install port-a-poopies in each mine shaft. Thu Nov 4 17:58:24 2671 [Legoean]: Thanks for the advice Mick & Barf you guys are my favorate show! Bye! Thu Nov 4 17:58:39 2671 [Mick]: Stop eating solids!!!! Problem solved. I exist purely on gravy. Thu Nov 4 17:59:57 2671 [Barf]: An interesting take, Mick. I heard VP Grey exists on the tears of people trying to figure out what's happening to The Company's payroll. Thu Nov 4 18:00:31 2671 [Mick]: And I heard your mom.... Thu Nov 4 18:00:33 2671 [Barf]: Censored. Thu Nov 4 19:11:21 2671 [Mick]: "The Camptown Lady"? Mr. Mine Foreman, I don't believe I know that song. Thu Nov 4 19:11:40 2671 [Barf]: Oh knock it off, you! Quoting an ancient film that cannot be produced today. Thu Nov 4 19:12:38 2671 [Mick]: "Barfy-Barf sang that song. Do-dah. Do-dah." Thu Nov 4 19:12:56 2671 [Barf]: That's it. I'm swapping out this drill with a grapping hook. I'm coming for you. Thu Nov 4 19:13:18 2671 [Mick]: Bring it, homechicken!!! Thu Nov 4 19:15:46 2671 [Barf]: More information on the slur "homechicken" may come when more miners are tuning in. Barf is signing out for the night. Time for Barf to play the slots! Thu Nov 4 19:17:07 2671 [Mick]: STEVE IS SKIMMING THE SLOT MACHINE PROFITS! You all know what to say.... DOOOOOWN WITH STEVE! Thu Nov 4 19:17:30 2671 [Barf]: Abe Lincoln disapproves. =|:}( Thu Nov 4 19:18:00 2671 [Random Company Official]: Alright, you caught me Thu Nov 4 19:18:50 2671 [Barf]: RCO minus 1 Jasmine point for you. Thu Nov 4 19:41:40 2671 [Dusty]: Did you say Abe Lincoln or Hey Blinkin? Thu Nov 4 19:42:56 2671 [Mick]: I think we can agree upon "Let's Go Stefan!" clap clap clap. =|:}) Thu Nov 4 19:44:09 2671 [Barf]: ....and we're going to Mars, and then we're going to Jupiter, and then we're going to Pluto. YEEEEEARRRRR!!!! Thu Nov 4 19:44:41 2671 [Mick]: You forgot about the Odra homeworld. Thu Nov 4 19:44:53 2671 [Barf]: I'm not finished yet!!!!! Thu Nov 4 19:45:13 2671 [Barf]: (I still have booze left) Thu Nov 4 21:04:41 2671 [Mick]: I played through the Mass Effect videos so I know how this ends! DOWN WITH STEVE! Thu Nov 4 21:05:28 2671 [Barf]: Now now. Let's not be hasty. Thu Nov 4 21:06:05 2671 [Mick]: F you Treebeard!!!! And Let's Go Brandon. Thu Nov 4 21:06:51 2671 [Barf]: Brute squad: we might have a little revolt happening here. Inspect. Thu Nov 4 21:07:33 2671 [Mick]: That's what I've talking about! I have rights! I hav....

Sat Nov 6 11:10:40 2671 [Legoean]: Maybe we should pay the Odra to keep us safe instead of The Company. I for one welcome our new alien overlords. Sat Nov 6 11:11:03 2671 [Dusty]: Whoa, dude!

Actually, down with ALL of YOU. Sat Nov 6 15:34:30 2671 [Legoean]: Hey barf, I have a question for your guest. Are all Odra bloodthirsty monsters bent on reclaiming lost territory from The Company, or just this perticular sect? Sat Nov 6 15:35:02 2671 [Hassr]: We want your ORE! Your blood is just a bonus..... Sat Nov 6 15:35:14 2671 [Hassr]: Actually we want your blood too. Sat Nov 6 15:35:49 2671 [Barf]: I'll do what I can to constrain him. Steve's fuzzy handcuffs only go so far. Sat Nov 6 15:36:21 2671 [Random Company Official]: so thats where they went Sat Nov 6 15:36:42 2671 [Barf]: Oh no, not this guy again. Sat Nov 6 15:37:00 2671 [Legoean]: Follow up question, why do the Odra rely on ancient bladed weapons of war? I'm sure any suffiecently advanced species would opt for Plasma or Ion based weapons. Are you still a stone age species? Sat Nov 6 15:37:55 2671 [Hassr]: F you!!!! We use Plasma! LOOK at our weapons next time! Stupid Grey re-skinned our old weapons. Sat Nov 6 15:38:23 2671 [Barf]: The VP is unavailable for questioning at this time. Sat Nov 6 15:38:28 2671 [Random Company Official]: Those plasma blades hurt Sat Nov 6 15:40:11 2671 [Barf]: Bear with me. I need to recollect a story to tell.

Admiral stop grabbing the microphone from me. Sat Nov 6 15:42:21 2671 [Hassr]: F YOU!!!!! This peon is making me angry! Sat Nov 6 15:42:51 2671 [Barf]: I think this station might need to be family-friendly. Sat Nov 6 15:43:10 2671 [Legoean]: Oh sure you have some big guns on that ship of yours... but your gunners are so squishy it's like your not even trying. Sat Nov 6 15:43:31 2671 [Hassr]: NO! We're not friendly when our ROVERS ARE USING YOUR GUTS TO GREASE OUR GEARS!!! Sat Nov 6 15:47:11 2671 [Legoean]: Your Excellency, if you ask me your superiors know you are lacking in the 'invasion' department. Compensating for your failures by cursing only proves their point. Why don't you lay down your arms, all of them, and lets have a nice chat about peace. Odra command obviously wants you dead, so join us. Sat Nov 6 15:58:24 2671 [Hassr]: If you start quoting the original Ghostbusters I'm blasting off and nuking this rock from space! Its the only way to be sure.

Maybe I'll cut off one arm at a time untill he gives me the cordinates of your homeworld. Sat Nov 6 16:13:29 2671 [Hassr]: Ok even I'm a dick but I find the shroom advice to Steve a bad idea. Sat Nov 6 16:14:02 2671 [Legoean]: Okay, we have some common ground there... Sat Nov 6 16:16:16 2671 [Legoean]: ooopse, he caught me stealing a trinket, had to put him down Admiral. I can't wait for your next clone. Sat Nov 6 16:17:29 2671 [Hassr]: This bastage isn't using his real voice!!! A-hole!!!! Sat Nov 6 16:24:21 2671 [Hassr]: No freedom for you!!!!

This cannot be a Company conspiracy, because The Company is our friend and loves us. Fri Nov 19 14:07:42 2671 [Axax]: Switching over to Social Media news, KORE is hearing vague reports about a "redhead brigade". Fri Nov 19 14:08:17 2671 [Axax]: It has been suggested that the ringleader might be Gr- Fri Nov 19 14:08:42 2671 [Grey]: Transmission interrupted. Sorry folks Fri Nov 19 14:10:12 2671 [Axax]: It would seem station power has been restored. Enjoying the show, folks? Visit https://coremud.org/koreweb.log for the complete station transcript! Fri Nov 19 14:12:08 2671 [Axax]: Last bit of news for this afternoon: Down with Steve! Fri Nov 19 14:12:31 2671 [Mick]: Dooooooown with Steve!!!! Fri Nov 19 14:15:08 2671 [Axax]: Oh lookie! 2PM Earth standard time on a Friday. Time to pour a drink Fri Nov 19 14:15:51 2671 [Axax]: PSA: Folks, don't drink and mine. You might lose a limb that way. Fri Nov 19 14:16:38 2671 [Dusty]: Don't drink and mine, kids. Do all of your drinking first, /THEN/ go mining! Fri Nov 19 14:16:58 2671 [Grey]: Turn in a full satchel and The Company does not care. Bottoms up, buddy. Fri Nov 19 14:20:35 2671 [Dusty]: If that funky mawg is back in the booth, fire off an ad or two! Fri Nov 19 14:27:13 2671 [Advertisement]: . Fri Nov 19 14:27:18 2671 [Advertisement]: Does the thought of back breaking labor make you cringe? Do you dread going into the mines for another three hours? If so, be sure to get loaded at the Drunken Heptosquid before your shift. Remember, we're 90 days accident free, it's time to break that trend. Fri Nov 19 14:28:04 2671 [Axax]: Sorry I've been slacking off. Needed to top off my vodka screwdriver Fri Nov 19 14:28:52 2671 [Axax]: I remember taking a trip and stayed at this popular hotel on Mars Fri Nov 19 14:29:22 2671 [Axax]: I stroll over to the bar and asked if they had any specials for the night. Fri Nov 19 14:29:46 2671 [Axax]: They responded "Would you like to try 'The Grey'?" Fri Nov 19 14:29:55 2671 [Axax]: I'm like, um what? Fri Nov 19 14:31:11 2671 [Axax]: They're like, "well there was this guy named Grey who stayed here so often we named his favorite drink after him. We even put a special code for it in our system so he didn't have to give his room # anymore. It was just 'Grey'. The front desk knew where to charge it." Fri Nov 19 14:31:31 2671 [Axax]: And I'm "OK, what's in this Grey beverage?" Fri Nov 19 14:31:47 2671 [Axax]: Staff: "No no, its 'The Grey'." Fri Nov 19 14:32:02 2671 [Axax]: Ooooo-kay. So what's in it? Fri Nov 19 14:33:07 2671 [Axax]: Staff: "One or two shots of vodka, depending upon Grey's rage meter. Top it off with unflavored soda water, and add a few splashes of lime juice." Fri Nov 19 14:33:13 2671 [Axax]: Me: I want one. Fri Nov 19 14:34:19 2671 [Mick]: Do they come in pints? Fri Nov 19 14:34:35 2671 [Axax]: No, hobbit. Hotel bars are not that generous. Fri Nov 19 14:34:59 2671 [Mick]: Dammit. Fri Nov 19 14:35:57 2671 [Grey]: True story. My bartender cried and hugged me when I told her I was checking out for the last time and returning to Core. Fri Nov 19 14:36:38 2671 [Grey]: Tip your helpers well. They work hard for little in return. Fri Nov 19 14:37:43 2671 [Dusty]: Sounds like some advice for Core as well... Fri Nov 19 14:43:59 2671 [Grey]: I'll get my tip when Jasmine returns from travel. Fri Nov 19 14:44:21 2671 [Grey]: Wait, Steve is travelling too. If.... oh there will be Hell to pay. Fri Nov 19 14:44:57 2671 [Axax]: So um, folks. Be sure to tip your shopkeepers if they make custom gear for you, OK? Fri Nov 19 14:46:25 2671 [Dusty]: I know that new Lizon fellow appreciates tips. Fri Nov 19 14:56:39 2671 [Axax]: So folks, be smart. Don't shop S-Mart. Shop at Smart Alec's Fri Nov 19 15:04:45 2671 [Axax]: New report just arrived. Apparently the infamous Delta shift has achieved their daily ore quota. Well done, Delta! Fri Nov 19 15:09:52 2671 [Axax]: It has also been reported there is a ruckus in one of the mines. Fri Nov 19 15:10:18 2671 [Mick]: Could you describe the nature of the ruckus? Fri Nov 19 15:10:34 2671 [Axax]: What is this, The Breakfast Club?!? Fri Nov 19 15:12:03 2671 [Dirun]: Well, rumor has it somebody imitated a person with limitations, and Steve's wife was unhappy. Blood and gore splattered all over the mine shaft walls. Fri Nov 19 15:12:43 2671 [Mick]: Dogs and cats. Living together. MASS HYSTERIA. Fri Nov 19 15:12:58 2671 [Axax]: OK people. Settle down. We'll sort this out. Fri Nov 19 15:17:35 2671 [Axax]: On the one hand, we want Steve to answer for his crimes. On the other, the moment his boot touches Core soil, he has immunity as a Vice President here just as Grey. Its a touch-and-go situation. Fri Nov 19 15:18:32 2671 [Axax]: Maybe we should have a poll? Who says Steve should safely return to Core? 1 = yes, 0 = fat no. Call in your vote NOW! Fri Nov 19 15:19:00 2671 [Mick]: 0. Steve sucks. Down with Steve. Fri Nov 19 15:19:30 2671 [Grey]: 1. Yes that is a surprise coming from me. But Steve sponsored some valuable equipment. Fri Nov 19 15:19:45 2671 [Axax]: Folks, we are tied!!!!! Need more of you to weigh in Fri Nov 19 15:39:12 2671 [Dusty]: 1. We need our precious scapegoat! Fri Nov 19 15:47:07 2671 [Axax]: Folks we are now at 2 pro-Steve, 1 anti-Steve Fri Nov 19 16:00:05 2671 [Axax]: In other news, it is rumored that our long lost Vice President Nigel is living somewhere.... in an environment tent, down by a lava river. Fri Nov 19 16:01:22 2671 [Mick]: My bet is his feet got injured by stepping on Legos, and he's too embarrassed to admit it. Fri Nov 19 16:01:28 2671 [Dusty]: I miss that dude. He was pretty solid. Fri Nov 19 16:01:54 2671 [Dirun]: I want more Nigel snacks! Like, he needs to make.... Scooby Snacks. Fri Nov 19 16:17:32 2671 [Axax]: Folks, it looks like things are about to get crazy this weekend. Fri Nov 19 16:19:10 2671 [Axax]: Next week features the traditional Thanksgiving dinner in some countries on Earth. Of course here on Core, we are thankful every day for The Company. But call in if there is something you are thankful for in particular. Fri Nov 19 16:19:34 2671 [Mick]: I'm thankful for boobies!!!!! Fri Nov 19 16:20:11 2671 [Axax]: I'm.... not sure if anybody could argue with that. Anybody else? Fri Nov 19 16:21:30 2671 [Grey]: Tawny. Don't tell Jasmine. Fri Nov 19 16:22:34 2671 [Dirun]: If Steve were here, he'd say WEEEEEED. Fri Nov 19 16:46:00 2671 [Axax]: Double ore bonus weekend is here! Miners, head to your mines. Sat Nov 20 01:11:06 2671 [Axax]: Late-night quiz time, folks! Sat Nov 20 01:12:24 2671 [Axax]: Q: How many circus clowns are needed to swap out a powercell in Steve's wife's refinery shop? Sat Nov 20 01:12:43 2671 [Axax]: A: THAT'S NOT FUNNY. Sat Nov 20 15:10:45 2671 [Axax]: News flash, folks. Grey is taking a brief shopping trip offworld. EVERYBODY PANIC!!! Sat Nov 20 16:19:38 2671 [Axax]: News update: Grey has returned from offworld. Be at ease. And remember, The Company is your best friend! Sat Nov 20 16:23:11 2671 [Grey]: Ya know what I miss the most about Earth? Fresh squeezed orange juice. I just ran out of the frozen stuff and need to put in a shipment order for more. Sat Nov 20 16:23:53 2671 [Axax]: Wha.... wait a minute. You can get ORANGE JUICE? Delivered to HERE? Sat Nov 20 16:24:18 2671 [Grey]: That's a perk of being VP. Sat Nov 20 16:25:29 2671 [Grey]: Steve, on the other hand. He spends his spare credits on certain leafy plants. Sat Nov 20 16:25:31 2671 [Axax]: Say no more!!!! Sat Nov 20 16:26:10 2671 [Mick]: No more. Sat Nov 20 16:26:25 2671 [Axax]: No, that's an expression. Not a literal command. Sat Nov 20 16:27:13 2671 [Mick]: But you said, say no more. So I said no more. But be that way. Sat Nov 20 16:28:09 2671 [Grey]: You two keep arguing. I'm cracking open this fine bottle of rum I just picked up from offworld. Sat Nov 20 16:28:38 2671 [Axax]: Oh no. Bad things are about to happen.... Sat Nov 20 16:35:34 2671 [Random Company Official]: Hey, I don't spend a dime on my leafy stuff, I smuggled seeds here for that, thankfully I have VP Immunity. No my money gets spent on importing maple syrup for my breakfast. Sat Nov 20 16:36:36 2671 [Dusty]: We need better grow operations, dude. Sat Nov 20 16:37:01 2671 [Random Company Official]: speak for yourself, I've got an entire dome and distribution system Sat Nov 20 16:38:09 2671 [Random Company Official]: Apparently Tawny loves my product Sat Nov 20 16:38:29 2671 [Dusty]: Yeah, but you've got more resources, "Random Company Official". Sat Nov 20 16:39:57 2671 [Random Company Official]: yep, to be fair I'm on like my fifth company contract in a row, in fact I'm now on a no-cancellation "indefinite term of service", so y'all are stuck with me Sat Nov 20 16:40:52 2671 [Random Company Official]: its not like anybody ever actually makes it back after their fourth year, I've never seen it happen. Sat Nov 20 16:43:24 2671 [Dusty]: Too much fun here, man! Sat Nov 20 16:44:44 2671 [Random Company Official]: especially when you have a dome full of sticky icky Sat Nov 20 19:07:08 2671 [Axax]: Remember folks! If you're not wandering in the outside wilderness from time to time, take your vitamin D! The artificial lighting inside the domes don't stimulate our skin enough to produce vitamin D naturally. Sat Nov 20 19:10:25 2671 [Dusty]: We really should change that, man. Sat Nov 20 19:13:16 2671 [Axax]: I've been told it would be too costly with respect to new lighting equipment, labor, and ongoing power expense to replace all of the lights with the fancy-smanshy vitamin D lights. Having workers acquire their own vitamin D supplements is apparently the cheaper optionn. Sat Nov 20 19:13:58 2671 [Random Company Official]: Why bother, when you die of depression we just re-clone you, you can't escape Sat Nov 20 19:14:24 2671 [Random Company Official]: Why do you think the company supplements the food, its cheaper.
