A Plea for Humanitarian Aid




In early June of 1999, a small and petty man turned the world of gaming satire websites upside down with his remarkably unfunny approach to comedy, an approach which could only lead to bloodshed.  Before reading this ugly tale, you may wish to familiarize yourselves with the participants in this horrid drama...

Kevin Murphy
Editor in Chief of the Mushroom, a gaming site which satirizes the gaming industry by publishing unfunny articles and fake interviews that leave you scratching your head.  Insists he did not steal everything in his layout from the Onion.  Also publishes dating advice which never works and expounds on how good it is to be a professional, serious writer.

National Game Review
A casual, occasionally funny gaming satire site that came into conflict with the forces of Kevin Murphy.  NGR is quite hysterical when one uses the Mushroom as a humor benchmark.  NOTE:  The preceding statement may seem unduly harsh, when one considers that CNET is quite hysterical by the same benchmark.

Old Man Murray
God of gaming satire.

Seanbaby
God of pop culture.

Lum the Mad
God of ranting about UO and whatever else seems annoying.

Musashi
Cheesy webmaster who really wished he were more like the preceding people.

Dethbot
Insane person who frequented Musashi's board.  His mania drove him to attack the Mushroom single-handedly.  His combat sim acumen made him lethal.  His experiences made him a cripple afterwards, unable to function in society.
