Current Events: Dink Chat
Posted by WC on Sunday June 30th, at 04:14 PM
I have decided to do my own little thingy like Recondite and AskTal. This one will be a current events briefing about recent events in the dink community. I haven't decided if I'm going to do it twice a week, once a week, or as needed. Maybe I'll let people give me feedback and I will decide based on that.

Well, this post of the Current Events will feature the European Dink Chat held today at 20:00 GMT and 12:00 PST and the DethLord Scandal. View the comments to read more.

The Dink Chat started kind of slow with an average amount of people but as we went on more people came in, and things got interesting. Lots of details about upcoming d-mods were spilt and a game was played based on the knowledge of what you know about Dink Smallwood, and the community. Even though we were playing for a prize which was a sneak preview for a new d-mod, that really didn't matter, everyone was just having fun joking around and playing the game, even though it got pretty serious at points. Overall, it was a great event, everyone got along, had fun, and something’s (such as the DethLord scandal) got settled. I personally would like to apologize to anyone that was hurt in the events of this scandal and to let everyone know, things appear to be worked out. The board is clean, everyone amended their wounds, and DethLord is expected to get a warm welcome back. All is well. Lastly, I promised the logs of both chats would be posted, but #Dinksmallwood was dead, and someone forgot to log the other chat. Oh well, maybe this will be a bit of bait for people to show up next time.

redink1 here, I was able to log some of the chat, and I would've gotten more but the bloody Chat window doesn't store the entire chat in the textbox, only a small bit of the chat (like the second chunk below). I had to leave the chat early, so I didn't get anything about the contest. There was also this funky 'ok' thing going on, which I didn't understand at all, and the moderator must've thought I could type at like 1000 wpm, so I couldn't many any responses in at all (in the upcoming D-Mods part). Also, note how WC says HE is going to log the chat below, while he blames it on imacrazyguy above... hmm... Oh, and I got in the chat before it even started.
