R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Yes, the word is Respect. We are not talking about a song that was written and released by Otis Redding in 1965. Or made famous by Aretha Franklin in 1967. And was recently listed as #5 on the Rolling Stone's chart "500 Greatest Songs of all time.

The word Respect means to hold in esteem. Someone mentioned this word to me this week. Which brought me to writing this post. Some of the young people today are not aware of what this word means.

We all need to show respect and appreciation to the Greers for creating this site, to Greg for working hard to see that we have fun games to play, to administration for their efforts to keep things running smoothly. Respect and appreciation go hand in hand.

But this is where I come in into the picture. As a volunteer helping to keep this site wonderful,I think the Mods need a lot of respect. We all work hard to make sure everyone is having fun. I can't count..... how many games I have had to restart, the nasty names I have been called, the phone calls put on hold because I am in the middle of a troll parade. The food that has turned cold also comes into my mind. And I am not complaining by any means. I chose to do this and I love it. The fun I have greatly outweighs the grief. I just want some of our new users to learn the word "respect" and to appreciate what we all have been given. A wonderful site, with wonderful people who care about everyone. So all you regulars out there who know this word, let's teach it to the new users. It will be interesting to see if they can learn.

Latest News

We welcome McCoyEVP back from his leave of absence. Ah, the Village is a happy place. Now if BJBinty would get back from her internet problems, everything would be perfect.

Below is a story written by Bdog2509 and edited by Skladzien. The truth comes out!!!!

The Survivors

Once upon a time, in the year 2020, there were a few lone survivors left known as "The Village". The Lagbeast had ruled the world for many, many years, and killed almost all of the Kongregate population's internet. These chosen few fought back and brought up an army to fight this monstrosity. For years they fought it, installing better internet all over the world, and upgrading servers all over the world. Slowly they destroyed this threat to humanity piece by piece, Reviving room by room, until they were stunned by discovering that it was remaining in the year 2029.

"What could be the problem?! The engineers said if we upgraded everyone to full speed internet this beast would be killed forever!" Commander McCoyEVP said. "That's what we thought! We must find the problem!" MeMe44 the warlord says to McCoyEVP. "Aha!" cries out captain Snoddy, "I may have found the problem, a troll population in AAA have been helping this beast. I have sliced these trolls to pieces, In fact you're eating them for lunch today!".
Just then RemoWilliams staggers up to Commander McCoyEVP with a report of the days lag, "Sir! *hic* We cannot figure this out, It's still lagging!*hic*". So McCoyEVP, MeMe44, and Snoddy take a trip to see VanillaDreaming. "Yes..I have found the problem!" Says VanillaDreaming looking up from a wall she used faerie powers to turn into a television. "See there? It's a single slow internet I have pinpointed to the village. Find this source, And save us all."
They continue to search, until one day.. "Sir!!!Sir!!!!!!!!" Snoddy yells out to McCoyEVP. "Yes?" He replies. "MeMe44 and I have found the problem!" He says, "The lagbeast is growing because of this last remaining person with 56k dial up internet.."McCoyEVP Shudders at the sound of the words 56k dial up. "Who is it?" He replies. "It..It's Bdog2509. We visited him in his cave...And he refuses to switch!!!!". They all stand there with a look on their face that can only be described as " :O ".
The end.

Poems by zodel.......

One of our new regulars writes poems and here is a sampling of his work.....................


One day, the sun will rise, and with it, so will you and i, from our slumber we will wake, my arms draped around your waist, the love we have will never die, and will rise just as the sun and skies.

With these wings, we shall soar, our grace reaching for the sun, which i shall pluck from the sky, just to see your lovely smile.

Through these hands, a friendship runs, bonds stronger than the blood, an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry, i hope this friendship never dies.

As we soar among the sky, the cloud begin to blacken, as we wonder why, they begin to yell, they scream, they fight, they fling us from our unholy flight, as we we plummet from the skys, our wings black bloody and torn, we ask ourselves, why has heaven cast us out of the sky?

From this slumber, we shall rise, the dreams hidden in our eyes, as you look upon my face, you see things are full of grace, as i see into your eyes, i see beauty of no size, as we kiss upon our lips, we see love is truly bliss.

If you call me, i shall come, being shadowed by the sun, its grace and mine is yours to take, drink it as you would, water from a lake, but beware of that grace, it is not all you must take, As well as grace, you must take, the heart of mine, its love to great.

New Mod In The Village

We would like to welcome RemoWilliams as the newest mod to be a fixture in The Village. He joins vanilla_dreaming, who drops in on a regular basis. So needless to say The Village is well covered with mod presence. The regulars are happy with this since they love The Village to be that calm, peaceful place to call home. We have a lot of fun in this room and Remo and vanilla add to those good times.

Hello Villagers....

Time goes by so fast, soon it will be three months since I became owner of this room. McCoyEVP remains away on his leave of absence. And vanilla_dreaming has joined us to help control the troll invasions. Life is good.
The regulars in this room have become even more like a family, and we welcome any newcomers to join us in our fun times.
I am still looking for some contributors for this blog. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Another Great Story

Pillaging The Village
by arthe


Meme, arthe and Vlad were chilling out in the Village telling stories when a strange figure appears in the distance. The group decides he is no threat and tell more stories. In a few minutes, the figure was standing in front of them. He yelled "Give me all of your money GHJGHJGJD!" towards Meme. She replied, "I have no money, but you can have this candy bar." The robber took the candy bar and redirected the same question to arthe. arthe replied "I have no money,but you can have this pillow...made of pickles!!!". The robber took the pillow then redirected the question yet again to Vlad who simply replied with a hard kick to the leg with a pair of steel tipped boots. The robber hobbled back to his own chatroom where he found an accomplice to his evil deeds to rob the village. They came back a few minutes later. Vlad suggested the Banhammer to which Meme shook her head. "I have a peaceful way of settling this." Meme, arthe and Vlad put their heads together and thought of a plan. Meme meekly replied to the robbers " Alas sir, we have no money but here take this bag of *cough* explosive *cough* candy." The robbers greedily took the bag of explosives. The next morning Meme, arthe and Vlad set out to find the greedy robbers. They found them in an alley huddled in a corner with a torn up bag and looks of regret. Meme pondered what to do, she took out her new Ban-o-matic which quickly vaporized the robbers from the Village and kongregate. Then Vlad suggested we mute them so as to prevent problems of them coming back. (What are the chances?) The End!

Hello Villagers.............

We are debuting a new feature " Story Time". Some of our residents are very talented and are presenting some of their work for you to enjoy!

Today our story is by VladTheEater

A Special Feature: Story Time

Once upon a time, there was a Meme.
She had just awoken and after eating a healthy, balanced breakfast she began to polish her Banhammer in case it was needed later in the day. It is said that those struck by the Banhammer aren't seen for days, weeks, or ever again! Now, she began her daily patrol to ensure peace in The Village when she noticed something peculiar! Off in the distance, barely visible against the hot sun in the sky, a figure began to approach. It was none other than Robot Dracula, immune to the harmful rays of the sun like normal Dracula! You see, Robot Dracula has built-in Sun-Deflectotron Nanotrons! And even though he didn't need them, he happened to be wearing bermuda shorts.Anyhow, he flies down from the sky and begins wreaking havoc on the poor Village. Now, this was not the first time Meme had clashed with Robot Dracula. She had thwarted him many times in the past. But this time, he had a secret weapon! He had spent the last year in isolation, secretly building a RoboMeMe44! RoboMeMe44 began her sudden and brutal attack. Yelling in all caps and spamming the channel with nonsense!
"GSDVGVSDGSDSF""FSHBFH SFGH" Only a hundred thousand times worse!
Well, Meme couldn't stand for this. She immediately began to protect The Village. She charged in at incredible speeds and swung her mystic Banhammer at RoboMeMe44 with such force that there would surely be nothing left! However, Robot Dracula had been prepared and RoboMeMe44 was equipped with something special: Banhammer Reversomatic Exoskeletal Resonators! So as Meme struck out, her mighty blow was reflected, knocking her backwards but still unharmed. Setting aside her Banhammer, Meme began to channel an ancient and secret spell. Stones began to rise from the ground, such was the power of this spell. And with a cry echoing through the heavens, her spell was unleashed! "SUMMON ADMIN!" Well, moments later, RoboMeMe44 was vaporized, leaving not a single bolt or screw behind! Meme glared at Robot Dracula."It's just you and me now..."Robot Dracula replied "G'BLEH!"Robot Dracula charged Meme before she could brace herself and knocked her flying back. Robot Dracula took the opportunity to charge Meme once again, this time planning on getting the deathblow! However, fortunate for Meme, she had been knocked back to where her mystical Banhammer lay! Picking up the Banhammer, Meme instantly struck out, colliding with Robot Dracula right as he was about to strike! Robot Dracula shattered into millions of pieces from the impact. The Village was safe... but for how long? Meme knew that Robot Dracula could reform but it would take time. Meme would be prepared for that day. Robot Dracula would never take The Village so long as she drew breath! THE END

The Village has Boundaries..........

This notice is to list the boundaries (rules) of The Village. We are not

discussing the size or the kind of walls that surround the perimeter.
We are talking about what is and what is not allowed in this township.
Your behavior in The Village will show new users how to act when

they are here.
Please mute when necessary, this keeps it peaceful. The Trolls are

looking for attention and will usually stop if not getting that attention.
As always we would like to have no swearing, you can get your point

across without bad language. Spam and caps lock are not something

we like to see in chat. And most of all we hate to see insults of any kind.

All the users in The Village should be our friends and we should not say

anything that might hurt their feelings.

We don't want ours hurt, do we?
We have set boundaries and there are consequences. This meaning that

if you step out of these boundaries there will be consequences.

You will be banned from The Village and Kong for a set period of time.
Oh noes, that means no game playing; no friendly chat!
Life can be fun in the Village, so join us ......

The Village Elders!!!

Vox populi

People of The Village, we value the voice of the people and the sentiments of the people.

The elders of the village invites bloggers and contributors for thevillageofkong blog. If you have the gift of the gab and the senility to write coherent thought, without vulgarity, we would like to hear from you.

You can contact any of the elders Meme44 or McCoyEVP or leave them a whisper. Send them a sample work and they will get back to you if your work is good.

In other news, the village is soon going to play host to a very important event. Keep watching this space for constant updates.

The Village Elders.

New Mayor

Hello.

Welcome to the Village. It is one of the best places in Kongregate. Located near a vortex and sandwiched on the other side by a van, this hideaway is the ideal place for you to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

In order to help you have a fun time , recently McCoyEVP who has some unavoidable commitments, has asked MeMe44 to take charge of The Village.

I am sure that the new mayor will make the Village and it's citizens a very happy and proud people.

Cheers
The Village Elder!
