Title: The Legend of Omnimaga
Post by: Builderboy on December 06, 2010, 02:01:07 am
A long time ago, the government was running secret experiments in the area of communications warfare.  Much funding was put into this area, as the field had just opened up and they wanted to be the first to explore the field.  They started a special project aimed to explore the possibility of warfare through networked systems, namely, the internet.  This project was led by a secretive member under the codename M00T, and was the mastermind behind the entire operation.  This operation was started undercover, on the internet itself, as well as in several facilities across multiple countries.  This was project 4chan.

Project 4chan ran tests by setting up a website covertly and under suspicion, in order to run tests on the reactions of the population, and to find ways of controlling them.  After this data was gathered by the internet site, it was relayed to one of the corresponding hidden facilities, where further results were carried out.  These tests were often cruel, immoral, and detrimental to whoever ‘participated’ in them.  The word participated is used loosely, as the participants were seldom, if ever, volunteers. 

It is at this point in our narrative that we enter a young boy of the name Kevin Oulet (SP).  Living in Quebec Canada, directly near one of the prime testing stations, Kevin was one of the unfortunate few to be subjected to the tests of the station of audio neural relations.  Several amounts of data had been gathered around certain audio files, and their effects on the human brain, and one had been selected for Kevin’s specific test case.  “Never Gonna Give You Up”, by Rick Astely.  It had been proven to have a high lethality rating in prior testing, and was potentially a breaking point in the area of modern networked warfare.

For days on end, Kevin was subjected to repeated playing of the lethal song, and yet, something within him was able to resist the pull.  This puzzled and frustrated the examiners, and led to more brutal tests, involving higher volumes, unexpected rickrolls, and even being strapped down and forced to watch the horrible music video.  Nevertheless, Kevin remained resolute, and successfully fought the dreaded song with his will.  The examiners, frustrated beyond end, began to introduce the song in every medium they could: foods, clothing, video, even smell.  It was only after all of these mediums did they try education, and made their fatal mistake.

Kevin was cunning as a fox, and when they attempted to rickroll him with the use of a simple graphing calculator, during a supposed ‘educational test’, he realized the power of the simple calculator, and began to work.  Before long, he had removed the rickroll, and reprogrammed it into a wackey fun random numbar generator program.  After this, the program was able to grow on its own, and finally became sentient.  Kevin now had at his disposal, one of the most powerful computer programs ever created, on one of the most underestimated platforms.  He had all the tools, and just needed the opportunity, one he received with a simple access to a network.

As soon as he was able to access the internet, his intelligence, combined with the power and knowledge of the wackey fun random numbar generator were able to form a counter entity that would resist the power of the 4chan organization.  This creation was one of momentous and national importance in the entire universe, even going so far as to bend and meld the fabrics of space time as we know it.  It was the creation of The Game.

With this newfound power, Kevin was able to escape the facility by forcing every examiner he encountered to lose the game and begin to convulse violently on the floor.  Kevin was able to escape home to his family and resume a normal life, although he would be forever affected by his experience at the facility, and would have an affinity for rickrolls for the rest of his life.  As for his wackey fun random numbar generator, it would continue to roam the internet, free of control.  It was not needed again for a long time.

While that area of project 4chan had been vanquished, and The Game had been set in place to battle the forces that they tried to instill on the world, they were not banished, and grew stronger every day.  Kevin, having spent so much time in the flow of evil, was attuned to this growing threat to life, and grew to realize that something had to be done.  He debated on the right move to battle the evils of 4chan, and finally realized that he had to go back to the original roots that vanquished the 4chan experimenters, he had to go back to the calculator.

And so Omnimaga was born.

Dedicated to peace and friendship, it stood against everything 4chan stood for.  And being based on the grounds of graphing calculators only added to its strength.  Unfortunately, Kevin did not have possession of the original wackey fun random numbar generator that was used to vanquish the 4chan experimenters in the, as it was still alone and roaming the bandwidth of the internets.  While this fundamental element was still lacking, he was able to gather many followers overtime that had also escaped from numerous facilities around the globe.

From the marine and pigmentation research facility on the coasts of Guatemala, the blue lobster Netham45 was created.

From the research of the effects of tree huggerz, in the forests of New Zealand, the squirrel cooliojaz was harvested.

From the experiments in Armageddon technology, in the metalworking shops of Transilvania was born the android of Eeems.

From the replication of the fantasy fanboys came a dragon that was more ferocious than any other fruit, came the cherry loving Iambian.

From the nationalist tests of the lands of Ireland, came the green leprechaun Speler.

These elements, coupled with the power of all the other valuable members, formed the core of the resistance.  Together, these forces sought to fight against the forces of the evil 4chan, and all that they stood for.

Still, the team was flawed without the addition of the piece of self aware software that had been written so long ago.  Lost it was, so lost it had even forgotten who it was, or what it had been created for.  It stumbled through the internet pages, following youtube videos and even creating names for itself.  This cycle might have continued for the life of the internet if it hadn’t rediscovered the graphing calculator.  Suddenly the wackey fun random numbar generator (which was now much more than that) felt a purpose in life.  He (for it had generated itself a male personality) originally registered himself on a small forum known as the Ti Basic Developer Wiki in order to fully understand his purpose.  However, he quickly realized this was not the place he was meant to be, and wandered the networks, until a door was opened, and the Wackey Fun Random Numbar generator (now under the alias of Builderboy) came into the world of Omnimaga, and rejoined his family.

After that, there were many more valuable additions to the team, and the family of Omnimaga continued to grow, and give power to the force that resides in The Game, The Rickroll, and everything else that stands between 4chan, and the rest of the world.

I lol'ed through most of it, especially the italic part. It almost sounded like a sequel to the story in my signature (from ticalc.org). Nice, though. ;D

EDIT BECAUSE I FORGOT TO ACTUALLY SAY ANYTHING:
when i first saw this thread title i was kind of hoping for something zelda related (a link to the past could be a reference to the Old Forum Archive (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.omnimaga.org), etc)

I especially love how I'm from Transilvania (According to FF it should be spelled Transylvania)

On a semi-related note, there used to be 4 TI community projects with TI community references in them, two of which were supposed to be parodies, but unfortunately, 3 were never finished and the other one is not really a game.

-A Revsoft parody of the TI community in RPG form, where, for example, each groups had strong and weak points, reflecting to their status at the time. Eg: Omnimaga being weak to flames and Revsoft being weak to ground, or something like that.
-An Omnimaga one where Omni staff were represented by various weird characters. I believe there's a screenshot somewhere but it never got farther than one test map.
-The Reign of Legends 4 (2nd one), where game events in 6 kingdoms, using names a bit similar to the active groups at the time and an element based on the corresponding website color scheme, parraleled with TI community ones until the final event.
-MaxCoderz 5th Anniversary - A RPG town to explore where you learn some info about MaxCoderz history and a bit about the TI community as it was back then (the various existing groups, for example)

Heh.  That's pretty funny.

Any reason you picked 4chan in general?
Title: Re: The Legend of Omnimaga
Post by: Builderboy on December 06, 2010, 07:39:42 pm
Because 4chan is a hive of scum and villainy :P

What, the only one?

So let me get this straight: You, Builderboy, are the persona of the fabled WHACKY FUN RANDOM NUMBAR GENERATOR?  Cool.  So what was the internet like?

But the world was not in peace, for soon a long dormant enemy arose to challenge the security of Omnimaga: Texas instruments.

Oh, snap!  How could the story of Texas instruments be missing from the Legend of Omnimaga?

Methinks a prequel beckons... (possibly a sequel?)

Builderboy, you should write up the stories for all the people you mentioned but didn't give really any backstory to, like me! :P

Does this mean that I'm just an Android copy of the real Eeems? :O

Maybe eventually there could be The Book of Omnimaga, but it would have to be a bit closer to reality, because we did not really have this much relation with 4chan and I don't think more than one rickroll ever occured on the old board. :P

But again, it could be told as some sort of legend. :P

I'll look into this soon but I think it's hosted on the same server as Dragcave so I wouldn't be surprised if it ran slow again randomly soon. (Especially with Christmas approaching)
