"This one time...at SimuCon..."
Some great pics for SimuCon 2k3 can be found at http://keri.medei.com/gallery! Alixi took some awesome pics this year, and you can check them all out there.
Another year for SimuCon. This year, we held SimuCon from June 5-8, 2003 at the Sheraton Westport Lakeside Chalet in St. Louis, MO.
The festivities, however, started on June 4th, that Wednesday night. And it was the only night of the Con that was quote-free...meaning I gave everyone the night off from being quoted.
The fun started right at 12:01am on June 5th <WEG>.
Last year's disclaimer remains...What happens at Con stays at Con. However, this page, and any page on this website relating to any Simutronics-related convention, will be considered "In Con", and therefore subject to the same potential debauchery that you would see at Con. Expect language, insinuations, innuendo, and other various off-color subject matter. If you don't want to read it, then don't. 'Nuff said? Good.
Basically, I'm too lazy to take quotes and pics at the same time, so I decided that it'd be more fun for me to do the quotes, and more fun for you guys to do the pics! So if you have pics that you want to share with everyone, just let me know and I'll post a link on this page to your pics!
So, that being said....
To the QUOTES!
Seriously, though...all these quotes are in good fun. However, if you see something that you don't want up, let me know and I'll take it down.

The fact that the hotel had set up satellite bars all over the hotel to accomodate the mass amounts of alcohol we were consuming.
The fact that 3 days straight, I could get an alcoholic beverage in less than 2 minutes. But several times, I wanted a coke or a water and it took over 30 minutes to hunt down. (thanks, Serendepity!)

Eldreth's Infamous Death Rum!!!
Ello all,
Well, now that I've had some time to rest and recover some, tis time for
my annual after Simucon post. I suppose I should start out with the much asked
question, the recipe for Death-Rum that I used this year.
Bubbling Eldreth Death-Rum
Everclear . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .( 190 proof)
Bacardi 151 Rum . . . . . . . . . . . . . .( 151 proof)
Southern Comfort 100 . . . . . . . . . .( 100 proof)
Absolut Vodka 100 . . . . . . . . . . . . ( 100 proof)
99 Apples - Apple Schnapps . . . . . .( 99 proof)
99 Bananas - Banana Schnapps . . . ( 99 proof)
Tanqueray Dry Gin . . . . . . . . . . . .( 94.6 proof)
Goldschlager Cinnamon Schnapps . . ( 87 proof)
Tequila . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( 80 proof)
Midori . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( 42 proof)
Total average proof . . . . . . . . . . 104.26 proof
There you have it folks, that is everything I used to mix up my Death-Rum
this year. It is equal parts of everything on that list, so I find it easiest to
just buy a fifth of each and mix it all together. This mixes up a batch of 2
gallons. I've been tweaking this recipe for the past 3 year, and I am finally
happy with what I have. Since most everyone that tried it this year seems to
agree, I will no longer change the recipe again. There is only one thing that I
have left flexible, that being the type of whiskey I use.

This year, Prime stole the Plat Bunny (pic HERE) and held it for ransom. Herein are the original texts of both the ransom note and the reply. Kudos to Taru (click HERE for Taru's Imagestation site containing the original ransom note and more PICS!!!) for the original ransom text, and Carli for the reply (they were the ones that posted them on the boards). Without further adieu...The Plat Bunny Caper!
~~~~~
To the Infidel dogs of Gemstone Platinum!
Long have you oppressed the faithful followers of Gemstone Prime with your arrogant elitist snobbery and rhetoric and heresy.
We have your bunny! Your nearsighted and feeble leader is incapable and incompetent. He has led you astray from the truth of Koar.
We, the Prime Union of Self Serving Individualist Emancipation Societế, or P.U.S.S.I.E.S. if you will, demand the satisfaction of our conditions.
You capitalist dogs are already committing suicide upon the martini glasses of the local bar! Such disgraceful ways will not be tolerated and is blasphemous before the eyes of Koar.
To retrieve the bunny back in one piece, you must meet ALL of our demands listed below by 6:00pm on Saturday.
We demand the following?.
1.A large bottle of premium tequila, for the juice of agave cactus is the one true way! Koar be praised!
2.You must publicly apologize for your heresy and capitalist excesses on Radio Free Simu. Your broadcast will be monitored and the tequila MUST be visible. for your blasphemy cannot stand before the truth of Koar! You must also broadcast this letter aloud in it?s entirety. Koar be praised!
Should you prove yourself capable to meet these demands, further instructions will follow!
KOAR BE PRAISED!
Signed, the PUSSIES!
(compiments of Taru, who posted it on the boards)
~~~~~
TO THE UNWASHED MASSES THAT ARE BUT A FRINGE ELEMENT OF PRIME, aka THE P.U.S.S.I.E.S.
Never has anyone been oppressed! We have graciously embraced the enlightened few who have seen The Way and converted.
We have it on good authority that our Leader's virility is unquestioned, as is that of all our P.L.A.T. males. These baseless accusations stem from your jealousy of our ability to purchase the finer things in life while you swill cheap beer.
In response to your demands, WE WILL NOT NEGOTIATE with the misguided individuals who give a bad name to the upstanding citizens of Prime. So as a demonstration, the ransom that was demanded will be paid to any individuals who turn over the lunatic extremists, with a bonus to be paid for the safe return of the Bunny. As proof of out strong stance, anyone caught harboring Pussies will be flogged.
For those who think we are callous, please understand that the Bunny knew the risks and accepted them. If the Bunny fails to be returned home safe, he will be honored and missed.
Khaladon, Beloved Leader
Peoples Liberation Agains Terrorism, or P.L.A.T.
