Round Table Weekly

[Omega_Destroyer]

I've been zinged and I love it!

[Vlad976]

Letting the inmates run the asylum I see...

[Kristo]

Oh, come on. Do you guys actually believe we would leave the real ModMobile with the keys just lying around like that?

[Kalah]

Pol has access...

[Ethric]

What's that about schmoozing a girl, there's time for that too?

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

Great one K

Though I think Paulus is ALOT more chatty than usual
Suddenly he became the big talker

[Thelonious]

What's that about schmoozing a girl, there's time for that too?

I think Kalah just makes time for that


BTW, good one Kalah

[Pol]

Pol: "I can dig this place."
OD: "Is that the ModMobile I see out there on the tarmac?"
Paulus: "Lemme see!"
Pol: "I guess that's what these keys are for..."

Whatever it is I probably had it. Here is mysterious pile of all things behind my computer. Although it still could be here...

[Kalah]

Studio Commentary: "We've got some news... and it's not good, folks. We go now to our reporter in the field, who is not in a field right now. He's right here in the building."

Reporter: "Yes, I'm currently making my way down to the bullpen, where Kalah is polishing the final draft of his final issue. Having not submitted any material for weeks, it hardly came as a surprise to us here in the office that the little weasel has decided to discontinue the series of RTW articles altogether."
Kalah: "Hah."
Reporter: "Mr. Kalah, why have you decided to..."
Kalah: "Hardly a surprise? You were shocked."
Reporter: "Well, not really. I was quick to call my broker and dump my stock options, but I don't think that constitutes a..."
Kalah: "All right, now you've moved past the point where I lost interest."
Reporter: "Well, why don't you tell us about your motives; why did you decide to stop writing?"
Kalah: "Got bored."
Reporter: "Wow, you nearly had me dazzled with that clever web of words."
Kalah: "I've been writing it for a while now, and I've run out of good ideas. Since I grew weary of waiting for one to pop into my head, I decided to move onto other things, like my thesis."
Reporter: "Which is about..."
Kalah: "International conflicts regarding Norway's ocean territories in the north, and what role the continental shelf has played in shaping the... I've passed the point where you lost interest, haven't I?"
Reporter: "Some time ago, yes."
Kalah: "Well, you'll have to excuse me, I've got some more typing to do."
Reporter: "What are you working on?"
Kalah: "Updating my CV."
Reporter: "Ah. Got any offers yet?"
Kalah: "You mean except for the offers from NASA, the Washington Post and the UN?"
Reporter: "Yes."
Kalah: "Nope."
Reporter: "Well, I'm sure something will turn up."
Kalah: "I'm sure."
Reporter: "So, this is the last of the RTW, is it? Nothing more planned?"
Kalah: "Well, yes. I might be persuaded to come up with some special feature articles from time to time – if the money's good enough... but I'm not committing to any deadlines again. The "weekly" is done with."
Reporter: "That was more or less a symbolic deadline anyway, wasn't it?"
Kalah: "Not at first. It got moved around a bit, but I planned on making weekly things. I guess sooner or later you get bored unless you don't have to sit down and write."
Reporter: "So you're not likely to finish that book you started either?"
Kalah: "I'm not talking about that. It'll jinx the project."
Reporter: "What would happen if you came up with a great idea for a new article, then?"
Kalah: "I'd stuff it in a drawer and save it for a special occasion like Christmas or Milla's birthday."
Reporter: "What if somebody else came up with a great idea and told you about it so you could write about it?"
Kalah: "I'd stuff it someplace else."
Reporter: "You're not into ghost writers?"
Kalah: "What are you insinuating!? I mean, I liked the guy, but I have absolutely no such..."
Reporter: "I mean other people writing for you. You know, ghosting."
Kalah: "Ah... well... *ahem* no, not really. I want to write my own stuff."
Reporter: "What was that you were going to say about..."
Kalah: "Say! That weather is really nice today, isn't it!"
Reporter: "It's two degrees above freezing, and it's snowing."
Kalah: "Yeees... Nice, ain't it."
Reporter: "So, let's get back to why I came down here, which was to see if I could sneak off with any cool trinkets from your desk after you left for good... did I say that out loud? I meant interview you about... er... a last couple of things."
Kalah: "Well, I'm just about done, so be quick."
Reporter: "There is a party of some sort planned, I hear?"
Kalah: "Yeah, it's a party celebrating either the announcement of the second H5 expansion or my departure."
Reporter: "You will not be here to cover the event?"
Kalah: "Nah. That's your job. I'm off to Tahiti."
Reporter: "Really?"
Kalah: "Well, really it's just the south cost of Norway, but that comes pretty close. Anything else?"
Reporter: "Just a couple more questions... um, what is your favourite colour?"
Kalah: "Blue. But you knew that."
Reporter: "What is the maximum load capacity of a European swallow?"
Kalah: "About 150 grams, but it depends on the swallow. Also, the weight will affect its range."
Reporter: "What's your next article going to be about?"
Kalah: "Not writing one."
Reporter: "If you were?"
Kalah: "The ridiculous cutscenes in Heroes 5."
Reporter: "Favourite tea?"
Kalah: "Mango."
Reporter: "Favourite cricket team?"
Kalah: "Don't have one."
Reporter: "But... what about your bat?"
Kalah: "That's just for killing people."
Reporter: "Football team then?"
Kalah: "The Spurs."
Reporter: "OK, I'm done."
Kalah: "So am I. Outta here."
Reporter: "You wanna come back to my place later?"
Kalah: "Yeh, sure."

Studio Commentary: "That's it, folks. If Kalah decides to write anything again, it'll be a surprise. And pay-per-view. Ta!"

[winterfate]

That's a shocker! Say it isn't so...
I hope you can finish your thesis soon...it seems to be sapping the life out of you.

I guess I'll have to do some interviews soon then...
(The Round Table should never be devoid of interviews ).

[ThunderTitan]

The "weekly" is done with."

Wait, this was supposed to be weekly? Since when?

[asandir]

since a long time ago, and supposed to be and is are two very different things

well, shame, cause they were amusing, but I guess that happens

so there are some allusions to you being "away" or "leaving" etc, are these veiled references or simply that you're too busy to post much?

[Ethric]

The "weekly" is done with."

Wait, this was supposed to be weekly? Since when?

He answered it himself right after

Anyway... you'll be back, just wait!

[asandir]

better than ever?

[winterfate]

I hope...this forum'll be kind of hollow without those weekly interviews .

[asandir]

It's quiet enough as it is around here at the moment

[[T]osHiro]

It was quite hollow somewhere in mid year 2006, I knew this will come. Anyway, hae a good rest from the reporting field.

[ThunderTitan]

He answered it himself right after

Oh, so it was weekly somewhere in his head...

[gravyluvr]

Anchor must have trouble lining up good interviews. His last interview was with some guy who used to post weekly things on the old board, but hasn't been around here much lately!



Next Interviews: [CH]GhostWriter, Marelt Ekiran, Serge, rakne fne, and Thunder77

[Elvin]

Too bad, I enjoyed them a lot. I guess Kalah likes to present only the best and sometimes circumstances do not allow that, not within reasonable timelines anyway.
