Saffronfan!
Glad you found your way here!
I see you've already met Mal-licious. She is the mistress of all she surveys (and she has a very high-powered telescope). 
We'll have to set up a full-scale tour of the treehouse for you some time. If you'd like, we can set aside a room for you.
But this is the main communal room. Over there is the pool table under which Ebo often hides. She's our leader. Against that wall is a pinball machine and the Whack-a-Mole machine that I modified to have plastic heads of Fox executives. That is our robot Sparky. Just ask him, and he'll perform simple tasks for you. There's the fully stocked bar, with Shw, our bartender. Here is a line of hammocks which can be swung for you, and a hanging chair or two. And against this other wall is our huge plasma TV in its brand-new entertainment center (thanks, Mai and ManiacNumberOne), on which we run firefly episodes day and night.
What else?
The corridors leading off in every direction go to the private rooms.
Someone talked about a hot-tub, but I haven't seen it yet.
At the foot of the tree is zoid, in his Bottom-of-the-tree pub. He is a philosopher.
Up on the roof is where The Grey Jedi lives. He can create technological marvels out of random piles of junk. Also, he has a trebuchet up there. *Whispers* Be nice to him, and he'll give you some Spam.
Uh, just wander around. Make yourself at home. Most folks around here are friendly. Sorry, but I can't introduce you to each and every one right now. Perhaps we need to compile a roster.
Here, have some Pepsimilk!
Oh, I almost forgot! Shw made us a flag!

*Ebo stirs from her nest under the pool table as she hears 'pepsimilk' being mentioned.*
Noooooooooo!!!!
*Taking a flying leap she knockes the cursed substance out of Saffron's hands.*
Whew, that was a close one. Pepsimilk is the devil. Avoid it like, um, something bad and to be avoided...
*Ebo scurries back under the table and begens to count her pop rocks before she realizes...*
Hey, we haven't had a war in a while. What do you say we have one little battle, just for old time sakes?

SaffronFan, what else do you need to know?
Right. Our past. Our history. It is... complicated.
Over time, we have lived in a succession of threads. But the threads are still out there if you are bored enough to track them down and read them.
Right now, we are in the "Faster Loading Treehouse" thread.
Before that, there was the "Not going to be depressed about the delay club" thread. That was when Ebo first moved us into the treehouse. During that time, we fought the Three Switches War with the "I know what the Three Switches do" thread.
SimonWho was a respected foe at that time, who decided to join us after Ebo bravely led us in suppressing the tyranny of the Three Switches.
Before THAT, we lived in the "Forgotten Not a Guy/Girl Clubhouse" thread. I think that only Ebo, Mal-licious, ThatWeirdGirl, Sparky, and myself are still around from then. My apologies if I have fogotten anyone. Man, did we have a wild party one Friday night! This thread was in the Talk Story Forum. The others that I mentioned have been in General Discussions.
There were other threads before that one, but they were before my time. Mal-licious and Ebo could possibly talk about them.
Anyway, that is who we are.

* The Real Me looks down at the broken bottle of Pepsimilk, and frowns. *
Sparky! A mop!
* The Real Me walks over to the pool table and looks underneath. *
Ebo, do you know how difficult it is to bring bottles of Pepsimilk all the way to this reality? I understand that you don't care for it, but...
* Sigh. *
Anyway, we should be careful about invading other threads. If we make ourselves too annoying, then Haken will be obliged to punish us. He might cut down the treehouse, or remove our super powers, or even *gulp* delete us.
Now the Three Switches... yes, that was a war that was just and proper. But otherwise, well, I don't know.

Alright fine, no wars.
Ok, so continuing were You left off with this clubhouse history thing. I'll start from the beging and move to where he left off.
Firstly, notice my sig please. Thats because I'm a girl, and people kept calling me he. So, i was complaing about this, and Mal found me and was like, "Same thing happens to me all the time!"
Then i was like, "Dude! We should make a club or something!" so I did. That would be the origonal "I am NOT a guy" thread. And we partied, and had fun, and made all the boys jealous. So they made their own clubhouse, the "I am NOT a girl" thread. Wars ensued. I beleve that there were thefts of plasma TV's, Cabana boys forced into slavery, and these threads might have had something to do with the formation of Statics (and others) harems. But i can't realy remember. We were all quite drunk at the time.
Time passed, and both threads fell into oblivion untill one day, like a gleaming, um, shiny thing, the "I am not a girl/guy clubhouse" was formed by Mal. This combined the warring fractions into one where the girls bossed the boys around (have you noticed how well we have You trained?). We also had gunhand fixing the roof...in a kilt, and i think that clubhouse also featured the debut performance of The Fireflies. (speaking of which, has anybody seen KGB lately).
Ahh, the fireflies, i wonder where they are now...especial that kick ass lead guitar player, what was her name? Oh right, that would be me.

And by "You" Ebo means "Me".
The Real Me, that is.
I built Sparky about halfway down the "Not a Guy/Girl" thread because all the cabana boys had run away. The ladies started to talk about eunuchs, you see.
Sometime after that was "The Fireflies" one and only performance. Not all of the twenty or so members of the band made it. In fact, only Ebo was performing, with ThatWeirdGirl, Sparky, myself, and some muppet as an audience.
That, and guacamole punch. Mmmmm...
*Whispers* By the way, I only pretend to be a subservient slave in order to protect these ladies from themselves.

You know I just hate when I have to leave the FLT for reality. I love being at work and saying "If you need me, I'll be in the tree house." and then spending half an hour pretending to be concentrating on some highly important task. I just dont' understand the strange looks I get.
Anyway, thanks for the welcome TRM. As for the sign thing I knew it was too simple of an idea to really work, but there has to be something to make guys easier to read. Oh well, I suppose that would take away all the fun of figuring it out on my own. I guess for now I will just have to be content with my Simon fantasies and on that note

SaffronFan looked sadly upon the remains of the broken pepsimilk bottle, and said. "I would have liked to try it." He shrugged. "Anyway, this club has an interesting history. I would never have thought a club could be started that way."

SaffronFan, fear ye not! I have a secret stash of PepsiMilk hidden in a padlocked cupboard in the bar, come get the key off me any time and help yourself. Just don't tell Ebo where I keep the key because I fear she'll throw my hidden supplies down to zoid at the bottom of the tree.. which could create an interesting moat effect.
RE: war. Since we have a flag, doesn't this mean we don't need to decalre war anymore. No other thread has a flag.. therefore they all belong to us. ;)
Bwahahahaha.. mine is an evil laugh.
I just noticed. I have no bunkmate.. anyone wanna share? I'm tidy & clean, I have no pets, but I'm a smoker.
Who from the threehouse has AOLIM? I keep meaning to make it to the shindigs but have only managed it once due to invasion of RL. My ID is shw2424 for them that wants it.
shw
