status quo.........

the sticks are going crazy!!!!!!!!!!
because we are keeping them in a location that is surrounded by many civilians, the noise is making people very suspicios. Today we dicided that they will have to be transported to a different location. hopefully they will cooperate, because the orders given to the transport team are to kill with no mercy, should they try to pull something in the middle of the transport. But dont worry just yet, they are being moved under the highest levels of security and as of right now they are safe, but still making tooooo much freaken sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and oh yeh, how are you doin with gettin our 299 million?

Day 4: MOESticks held hostage
 

I am very disturbed at the photograph of what could possibly be MOEstick remains that was posted a few days ago. Even if we had the ransom to pay, how do we know that the green powder shown in that photograph is not the remains of a hostage?

Please prove to us that the original MOEsticks that were lifted from their happy home are alive, well, and making noise. If you send some of the powder, we can perform a DNA match to confirm.

Just for your information, we have the CSI team canvassing the Tunkhannock gymnasium for clues about the abduction. We will continue to negotiate until we have proof that the MOEsticks are in good health.

Another way you can prove this to us is to record today's news (to verify the date) and concurrently record the sound of the MOEsticks doing their thing. Team #365 can pick out the true sound of MOEsticks being slapped together over all imitations.

Please let us know the sticks are alive and healthy.

wait just one second...
 

Those aren't REAL moe sticks! they're imposters! i think this is just a façade just to make us turn green with anger and disgust. but, if they are infact MOE sticks MIA, then may god have mercy on your soul... That's cruel and unusual.

This is silly. MOE sticks are annoying, yes, but flaunting their destruction on this board is stupid. Sticknapper, give us a break, and stop being lame.

I believe time is running down. I recommend that the MOE sticks be released very soon, and if not you are telling us that you will endure the consequences of your actions. Now I know that the sticks are very annoying, but they are our trademark. The object at a FIRST competition is to make noise, and that is what the sticks are for. You are supposed lose your hearing little by little at each competition. We use the sticks for cheering, and we want to let people know that we are cheering, for us and for them. They may reduce hearing a little if not wearing ear protection, but they have a lot of good in them. They help identify our team, just like every other team has something that defines their team. To destroy them, destroys us, and hinders our ability to cheer. Every team should have something that they can have to help define their team. For us, it's our sticks and bandanas. So you see, the sticks may be annoying at times, but they liven us up, and get others around us clapping right along. They are the center piece of MOE, and to destroy them would be to destroy us, and the take a little piece out of the excitement of a FIRST competition.

*sniffle* *sniffle* ... now how can you hold those poor little moe sticks hostage after that? there must be some good in you. maybe we can make a deal. one of thoes moe sticks needs to be checked for termites. just let it go, give it to the propper authorities, and everything will be fine. if it dies (and it will if termites get to it), then nothing will be held back in going after you. you don't want that, you seem to be a reasonable fellow. so just hand over one of the moe sticks, and we can talk about your demands later.

Stephen, wandaring hostage negotiater

May the force be with you, MOE sticks!

dont worry, the moe sticks arent powder just yet. they are being prepared for transport to a new location

OH NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i regret to inform you, moe negotiator, that there may be a slight problem..............

maybe you should consider collecting the ransom money a little faster....every bite hurts - so i think we can bot agree that i would be more than fair to make the ransom now only 200 million.

I find it hard to believe that termites can bite through MOE sticks. But anyway, do you really think that we can come up with 200 mil? How about you consider just giving up. We are willing to ignore all of the events of the past few days, if you agree to give up and release the sticks. If you hurt them or fail to agree with our negotiations, unfortunatley, there will be consequences for your actions, and those are consequences that nobody would want to face. I leave you one thought....... those MOE sticks have friends...

This must be the craziest thread I have ever read.
And I'll say this, please let the MOE sticks be safe and just hand them over already.

I do not know which team the MOE stick Napper is from
however I do know of another team that has a pair of MOE sticks, they do not know how they got them. I willl try to shake a photo out of the offending team to prove it. They are a real sick crowd this team. They are not willing to set up a neogtiation. They aren't interested in money. They are intent on keeping them and that is their only goal.

many teams have MOE sticks, and they are actually much-wanted momentos, but teams that want to burn the sticks are different. As long as this other team doesn't hurt them, then it's all good.

I think I do. :)

Do tell...hehe
