What's in Your Basement?

[silversnake4133]

Hey guys, quick n00b question for y'all. What is The Basement here on the Escapist and why is it such a foreboding place? I've seen a "basement" rp thread in a different forum category, so is that the same thing?

And as an answer to the question, I don't have a basement. I have a dank crawl space where the water softener to my house is.

Well, we keep "The Scary Thread" underneath the steps.

You'll need a hazmat suit to get it.

Other than that, don't look.

My actual basement is where I have live, strange things happen there. It's a walk out basement so I have a window and access to the backyard where I don't really go...

But the Escapist's basement is a place where even weirder things occur, avoid it at all costs, or take a Level 3 Hazard suite with you...

Common sense keeps me from venturing into that abyss, so I wouldn't know. That and the fact that I don't have a basement.

My basement is just like the Escapist basement. Filled with trolls that I am keeping hostage. >.> <.<

 

[FortheLegion]

Well I live in my Basement...

I don't have a basement as I live in a basement suite now![footnote]First year university, all on my own XD[/footnote]

Don't venture into The Basement. You will only find suffering, lolcats, trolls and many, many, many discarded bodies user accounts.

here's a hint...
Honestly I don't know I don't venture into that domain...

Seriously, The Basement is best left well alone.
I heard that's where The Red Guard and Escapist Staff[footnote]The blue and gold named guys if you didn't know[/footnote] hang out...they don't like people stealing their Angel Cakes, I'll tell you that now for nothing. I've seen the mess they make...not pretty at all, all the skin missing and...ew.

As for my houses basement, kitchen and living room.
Benefits of having a three story house, I guess.

I live in Florida, we don't have basements.

I don't think I've ever been inside a basement. My house in Texas doesn't have one, nor does my grandma's house here in Costa Rica.

Brown Recluse Spiders, weights, table hockey, old junk and the only heat source in the house that's still running.

Look up those spiders, though - you'll know why I don't go near them.

 

[strum4h]

Me, bed, computer, fridge. I call it the Living Room.

I'll heed your warning when I become adventurous.

Yeah, they're quite the problem if they bite you. But if they get too adventuresome with their web building you can always suck them up in the vacuum. Well, that's what I do anyway. :]

We don't have a basement, officially.

I dug out the bottom myself. I needed space to construct my world-domination death-ray. Soon, I will have the power to threaten entire countries! THE WORLD WILL BE MINE!

 

[Railgun88]

U know. I don't even know whats in the basement. What's there??

 

[Jimmyjames]

I live in the Alamo. There's no basement in the Alamo.

 

[Betancore]

We don't have one. Once I crawled under the house while it was being built, because I wanted to see what it was like. I encountered a spider, and never went back again. Fortunately, the entrance got bricked over. I hope the spider never made it out.

And I reckon with the Basement, we just fear what we don't know. Hmm.
