"Eoin, we've had some complaints about you hogging all of the Arcade high scores - it's not exactly a fun competitive environment when the same mutant gaming addict wins everything, is it?" James droned, giving Iceman a reprimanding look.
"I can't help it, I'm just too good," a modest man replied, "perhaps we could give them some new games?" he suggested.
"I'm tired of placating these fools with games! I had dreams of starting the world's first reality television poker series! But will I ever get that?" he snapped, randomly permabanning ithinkiloveyoutoo! "No! Because all these morons care about is pub quizzes and Yahtzee! Well I've had it!"
Eoin was a little bit mortified as James deadministrated (I don't care if this is a neologism, it'll do) himself and made Eoin co-admin. Mark was oddly nonchalant about the whole affair, and Kaz would only find out in 4 months anyway.
"Find your own games, you jackass!" he cackled and took up residency in the music section, forming a rival musical elite to Shaun with a heavy emphasis on the Pink Floyd catelogue, "all in all you're just another dick in the wall!"

'Well that was a rather crude pun,' Eoin observed, 'and one that few of the younger members will get...' he shrugged and suddenly realised his newfound duties. He went to the admin panel when he noticed a PM from arista.

The forum had drastically changed appearance - and even more worryingly, so had the world outside. Beyond Eoin's window he could notice dark red clouds forming overhead; a distant roar of thunder added to this ominous tone. A loud, resonant voice echoed around the world.

"So, Eoin. You sexy Young spunk. You want to Win the tibb Arcade yes?
Bring It On."

All of TiBB suddenly began to lock members' accounts - the most popular and active users, not to mention the more quirky ones that would provide ample writing material - but this went relatively unnoticed. With the worldwide broadcast, membership rapidly shot up, each new member eager to find out what on Earth was going on. Before Eoin could begin to merge these 98 new threads in 34 different languages, he was sucked into the screen - before being pounced on by Scott.

"Oh my! " Scott cooed, before putting his slutty tendencies to rest. "Eoin," he announced in a gravelly voice, "TiBB needs you."
"Yes," a small pink toadstool confirmed before taking to Scott's side. "Arista has set you some challenges and games to fight through in order to save us all!" MeMyselfandI announced.
"Am I high?" Eoin stammered, before MeMyselfandI slapped him.
"Get a hold of yourself!" the surprisingly strong mushroom yelled, briefly changing gender and swelling to 10 times its size, "you'll first have to complete...Stuper Mario Bros.!

A distant 8-bit track could be heard...
