  Clean up Forum for I-Con!

   • s******j@**.com
     26/03/1996 00:00:000 UTC

     It's traditional for I-Con guests to visit the Forum and sign their
     books

     during the weekend.

     Is the place in decent shape?

     Have the books written by notable guests been located and dusted off?

     Have any infestations of Magic(r) players been removed and their seats

     cleansed?

     Eat Pudding!

         Actually, surprisingly, the Forum is at an all-time high for
         cleanliness

         (at least, for this Forum). People actually come in to clean in the
         morning

         (NON shiftpeople!) and less people than seemingly ever leave crap
         around.

         Now, Magic players are a whole different story. I cannot possibly
         forecast

         the chaos that this true evil will wreak.

              Good news to hear. And I hope some trufans do bring authors
              down to see

              the 4M. It is literally one of the largest SF collections in
              the world.

              As for Magic card players being slobs, this is no surprise.
              Addicts of any

              sort tend to neglect themselves and their surroundings.
              Fortunatley, a cure

              for MtG may be near. Running a current through the ludensic
              lobe of the

              brain reduces the craving to play MtG by 90% in most addicts.
              Unfortunately,

              they also become bookkeepers. Other therapies include
              substitution of other

              games (such as "The Great Dalmuti" at first, then the "classic"
              version of

              "Illuminati," and eventually antique SPI wargames and
              "Diplomacy") and

              swift kicks in the groin whenever they start to play.
