Origins of Spa

[The Lady Shael]

It's a pretty short story actually...so I'll draw it out for as long as I can.

Basically in the beginnings of RWL, spam was a huge problem. Many members engaged in "post wars", which usually consisted of posting one-sentence posts at the same speed you guys currently post at in here. Our ulterior motive though was post count. Back then a higher post count meant veteran status (or so we thought).

Back then everyone also chatted on AIM, and RWL AIM chats were a regular thing. Once there were probably about 15 of us chatting away, and Retto mentioned he was thinking about adding a new forum dedicated solely to spam, which wouldn't raise your post count. He asked for name suggestions, and (a quick forum search shows that) TJ/Scarwake suggested "Spam Room 101", but due to a typo it came out as "Spa Room 101". Retto thought it was awesome and it was created minutes later.

The Spa Room was born.

You rang?

[SiegeMaster]

yes, yes i did

[Mr.Grimm]

WOOT! Spa will crush all!

[Ungatt Trunn II]

Mr. Grimm, your SSP building is becoming quite decrepit without your hooded agents to maintain it. I'm afraid my soldiers tried to turn it into a bar or something. I called it insubordination though and uhhh, had to flush it with nerve agents and radiation and such...

But it's clear now and if you're nice I'll even help you clean it up! 

[Mr.Grimm]

Blasted army grunts! I swear... I will make their families pay! I may come back one day just not yet. But don't worry. The SSP never left! Muhahahahahahahahahaha!!! *cough* Man, that is really hard on the throat!

Spa is awesome.

[Kyrolin Zenyar]

Three points for typos!

[Krowdon]

I made a typo once. I typed one thing, but I didnt pay attention, and it came out completely different. oops.

[Mr.Grimm]

It's lonely on top...

[Briar]

Then go to the bottom

[Mr.Grimm]

But the property value on the top is fantastic! I mean, think about it! Great views, easy access to the beach and downtown! It's a goldmine!
