    3rd installment:


    So the next day, as beirut left the forum to do meaningless real life stuff, tosa and BKS stormed into action, deleting Beirut from the moderators post and forcing him into the entrance hall. Anyone who protested against this were forced into the same agonizing punishment. One such person who protested was the Stranger:

    " Hey BKS, why the hell did you get tosa to demote beirut to a junior member?? Is it cos you are jealous of him how no one calls him a girls name like Big Queen Santaphaxia??Or is it because he is by far a better moderator???" Pmed the stranger, with several highly threatining smilies

    [S]BQS[S/S] I mean BKS replied Bluntly" Why is any of your business boy??? you two are not very close are you?"

    To which the stranger replies " Yes we are close, for you see Beirut is my Mother i mean my Father"

    "Well go on join your daddy ,little boy or i will your ing head off!!!!"

    So as a result, The Stranger and Beirut were demoted to junior members and forced to saty in the entrance hall.

    However, caravel took pity on the father and son partnership, and got them both promoted to member, and were allowed to keep their awards and post count. He could not, regrettably, get them acess to the other forums.

    "well stranger," posted Beirut, " we better get used to answering questions about 'why cant i post in such or such a place' or 'how do i become a member' and to put up with n00bish introductions. But look on the bright side...theres a whole lot of n00bs here who cud benefit form fascinating lessons in !!!"

    Names, secret names

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The sorcerer Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, and his daughter, Miranda, have been stranded for twelve years on an island, after Prospero's jealous brother Antonio—helped by Alonso, the King of Naples—deposed him and set him adrift with the three-year-old Miranda. Prospero secretly sought the help of Gonzalo and their small and shoddy boat had secretly been upgraded to be more than sea worthy, it had been supplied with plenty of food and water, it had an excellent library and contained surviving material in case the boat capsized. Possessed of magic powers due to his great learning and prodigious library, Prospero is reluctantly served by a spirit, Ariel whom he had rescued from imprisonment in a tree. Ariel was trapped therein by the African witch Sycorax, who had been exiled to the island years before and died prior to Prospero's arrival; Prospero maintains Ariel's loyalty by repeatedly promising to release the "airy spirit" from servitude, but continually defers that promise to a future date, namely at the end of the play. The witch's son Caliban, a deformed monster and the only non-spiritual inhabitant before the arrival of Prospero, was initially adopted and raised by the Milanese sorcerer. He taught Prospero how to survive on the island, while Prospero and Miranda taught Caliban religion and their own language. Following Caliban's attempted rape of Miranda, he had been compelled by Prospero to serve as the sorcerer's slave, carrying wood and gathering pig nuts. In slavery Caliban has come to view Prospero as a usurper, and grown to resent both the magus and his daughter for what he believed to be their betrayal of his trust; Prospero and Miranda in turn view Caliban with contempt and disgust.

    The play opens as Prospero, having divined that his brother, Antonio, is on a ship passing close by the island (having returned from the nuptials of Alonso's daughter Claribel with the King of Tunis), has raised a storm (the tempest of the title) which causes the ship to run aground. Also on the ship are Antonio's friend and fellow conspirator, King Alonso, Alonso's brother Sebastian, Alonso's royal advisor Gonzalo, and Alonso's son, Ferdinand. Prospero, by his spells, contrives to separate the survivors of the wreck into several groups and Alonso and Ferdinand are separated, and believe one another dead.

    Three plots then alternate through the play. In one, Caliban falls in with Stephano and Trinculo, two drunken crew members, whom he believes to have come from the moon, and drunkenly attempts to raise a rebellion against Prospero (which ultimately fails). In another, Prospero works to establish a romantic relationship between Ferdinand and Miranda; the two fall immediately in love, but Prospero worries that "too light winning [may] make the prize light", and so compels Ferdinand to become his servant so that his affection for Miranda will be confirmed. He also decides that after his plan to exact vengeance on his betrayers has come to fruition, he will break and bury his staff, and "drown" his book of magic. In the third subplot, Antonio and Sebastian conspire to kill Alonso and his advisor Gonzalo, so that Sebastian can become King. They are thwarted by Ariel, at Prospero's command. Ariel appears to the three "men of sin" as a harpy, reprimanding them for their betrayal of Prospero. Alonso, Sebastian and Antonio are deeply affected while Gonzalo is unruffled. Prospero manipulates the course of his enemies' path through the island, drawing them closer and closer to him. In the conclusion, all the main characters are brought together before Prospero, who forgives Alonso (neglecting to mention his brother's betrayal of him or Sebastian's attempted betrayal of Alonso) and finally uses his magic to ensure that everyone returns to Italy. Everyone leaves the island apart from Caliban and Ariel who are both left to see who will be Prospero's successor of the island.

    Wooooo!!!
