Geier Posted July 27, 2001 Author Share Posted July 27, 2001 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by the bewildered and insecure Stuka: Wheres the rules?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Taken from the Dark Ages before Da Thread had a patron saint. Bill (or Peng) takes no responsibility for these rules and frankly (Frank, that is) does not care one iota if they aren't followed by persons who have been posting to Da Thread for a time longer than 500 years. From the keyboard of the Bard here it is: ALROIGHT, THEN! HEADS UP, MOUTHS CLOSED, AND LISTEN TO THE ORFICER, YOU LOT! The Rules of the Peng Challenge Thread are quite straightforward, really. Astonishingly simple, in fact, in a complex world. First off, no one here likes you, has any desire to know you, and, in fact, the entire sodding Universe doesn't give a stuff what you want or have to say. Go Away. Should you remain on despite the first rule, we next wish you to know that coming in, striking a pose, and challenging everyone in the Thread to a match will cause the wastelands to echo with laughter, and you will look like the stupid pillock you are. You will then be told to Go Away, more forcibly, and people will really begin to mean it. Pick someone out, preferably something as newly arrived and worthless as yourself, taunt and challenge it, and you might get a game. Next, you should sound off as though your wit, courage, and intelligence were not in question. In the vulgate, Sound Off As Though You've Got a Pair! I believe it is. Oh, and more than half a brain, please. If you sound off well, wittily, and with great force of person and humour, you may be accorded a measure of respect here, perhaps for the first time in your doubtless tawdry little life. It's something to look forward to. Finally, while sounding off, we'd like you to remember that this is the Peng Challenge Thread, not your local boozer where every vulgarity, expletive, and prejudicial slur are met by howls of laughter from halfwits who are only 15 minutes and 3 drinks away from spending the night in Detox. We have standards here, whether you can follow the concept or not, and if you ignore or trample them, you will not only be told to Go Away, you will Go Away, both from here, and hopefully the Forum in general.

After we went to all the trouble and expense of a trial over his giving out AUTOMATIC Knighthoods to any old outerboarder that happened to strike his fancy Seanachai is proposing that we grant Knighthood to Simonized Floss. Well it's just NOT ON! Did we fight the good fight against the outerboard scum just to allow some smooth talking grog to jump in and be elevated above his peers (they being SSNs just as he is)? Now granted the lad showed some promise and some moxie but WE WILL NOT ABANDON TRADITION!

The case of Seanachai was clearly different in that he posted HERE as well and disregarded standing CessPool rules. I'm as disgusted by Lorak's TONE as any in here, but there's really nothing to be done ... this time. Furthermore I must remind you that as Prosecutor and Protector of The One The True CessPool we are simple civil servants and work for a paltry amount unlike the pampered peacocks of Seanachai's former defense. Good thinking, though, lad. Now ... my hip waders have been depressingly dull lately, I think a good cleaning would do them a world of good so get to it lad. No, no, no, not with just a rag, I'm thinking of the spit shines that Agua Perdido used to give them. A good high gloss now, don't forget. And, oh, I'll need a full report, with screen shots on "Seanachai and the Outer Board" ... never can be TOO prepared you know. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpkr Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 (MrSpkr and MrsSpkr sit at the morning breakfast table. The children are obviously off doing whatever it is they do during the day, and the Spkrs are enjoying a moment of quiet. MrSpkr is perusing morning newspaper, The Cesspudlian Republican-Gazette. MrsSpkr is enjoying a breakfast pastry with some tea) MrsSpkr: "So what do you think, dear?" MrSpkr: "Hmm, about what?" MrsSpkr: (slightly exasperated) "A cruise, dear. What we've been talking about for the past twenty minutes. I swear you sometimes seem like you're in another world." MrSpkr: "Sorry. Well, I'm not sure we can afford it right now, that's the thing. . . (turns page in paper) Oh my word. Is that the best they can come up with?" MrsSpkr: (absently sipping tea) "What's that dear?" MrSpkr: "Some trash about a second rate B-movie actor as the patron of the new Peng Challenge thread?" MrsSpkr: "Who?" MrSpkr: "Bill Paxton." MrsSpkr: "Who?" MrSpkr: (louder) "Bill Paxton!" MrsSpkr: "Never heard of him. Who came up with the thread, anyway, dear?" MrSpkr: "Geier." MrsSpkr: "The Swede? There's you're problem, then. Never trust a Swede to do ANYTHING right, darling." MrSpkr: "You're right, dear. You're always right . . . (turning page in newspaper) Hello, what's this?" MrsSpkr: "What's what, dear?" MrSpkr: (reading from paper) "Seanachai was then quoted as saying, 'I say, we make the Ozzie bastard a Knight. Another prominent knight, Berlichtingen, agreed, stating, 'Let the punishment fit the crime." MrsSpkr: "Make who a knight, dear?" MrSpkr: "Some Aussie-sissy named Simone Fox or somesuch." MrsSpkr: "Has he met the requirements, five games, enduring the requisite amount of personal abuse, and such?" MrSpkr: "No, not at all. Just seems to have dropped in and made some personal attacks on Joe Shaw and David Aitken." MrsSpkr: "Those nasty little men? Serves them right, I say." MrSpkr: "Yes, quite, but that still doesn't give Seanachai the right to propose instant knighthood on this Simon chap." MrsSpkr[: (in a disappointed voice) "I suppose that means more litigation, doesn't it? More time away from home?" MrSpkr: "Yes, I'm afraid it does, but . . . well . . . hmm . . . here now, look at it this way -- more litigation means more billable hours; and possibly, if they go after Berlichtingen as well, two clients instead of one . . . which means double the additional billable hours . . . and that means a cruise is now WELL within our budget." MrsSpkr: "You mean it? Oh honey, you're the best." (rushing to his side) MrSpkr: "I know." (the couple begin kissing) fade to black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlow Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Due to the high level of flame wars, newbie bating, and just plain old nastiness on the Forum, I have decided to set a shining example by only posting nice and polite messages from here on out. By golly, if you can't say something nice about a person, don't say anything at all. With this new shiny happy philosophy in place, I give you Updates: Wildman I take full responsibility for the actions of the crew of the Mark IV that destroyed those three Shermans. You can be rest assured that they will be severely reprimanded for that unbecoming display of gunnery skill. I am quite devastated over the potential harm done to the self-esteem of the surviving members of those tank crews. JShandorf Oh, dear me. My men seem to be overrunning your positions. Sorry about that. I'll try to do a better job of running into your defensive fire this turn. MrSpkr I most humbly apologize for the actions of my men that may have frightened your poor Company mascot. Lawyer I feel very badly about beating the snot out of one of such noble standing in the community. I would really like to surrender the game to you now in order to spare you the humiliation of yet another defeat; however, I know that your sense of honor would not permit you to accept such a gesture. OGSF The final turn was sent last night. I am downright giddy in anticipation over the results of our gentlemanly duel. I hope that the outcome is to your satisfaction. Sorry about killing all your armor (or armour so as not to be Americanocentric). jd I am so glad that you are pleased with the utter destruction of my force. Glad to be of service. Nijis If I were not a gentleman, I would have to laugh at the ongoing destruction of your mechanized forces, but I am, so I won't. Speedy I knew you were worried about that Cromwell that was in a gun duel with my 251/9s. I can most happily report that I have ordered my men to only fire dud rounds at your tank, resulting in multiple hits and penetrations, but no actual damage to your fine fighting machine. SteveTheRat and PeterNZer I most eagerly anticipate the resumption of our contests so that I may witness your display of military prowness. If I have forgotten anyone, I most humbly apologize. Please do not feel that the omission is in any way a reflection of my esteem for you, but rather consider it to be due to my obviously defective memory. Have a nice day.

David Aitken Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Game Report Never mind my PBEMs, this is far more important. Both the Germans and the AI are gamey bastards. I gave the computer a defence with eight Panthers, and took eight Cromwells, four Daimlers and four Humbers for myself. I pulled every gamey trick in the book, decoying the slow German tanks with my fast vehicles, rolling up the enemy's flank, occupying VLs with bailed crews, throwing scout cars down roads at top speed to locate enemy tanks, and even using the Quad Damage and Teleportation cheats, and the AI still ripped me a new windpipe. I got a minor victory, but only because I had crews on the VLs, since there was one Panther left when the second-last and my last Cromwell killed each other. I think it's plainly obvious that the Germans were employing gamey übertanks with gamey superior optics and gamey thick armour in an attempt to win an underhand victory. Charles is obviously an übertank fan, as according to my experience he has programmed Allied tankers as spineless cowards who willfully abandon their comrades on sight of anything that looks vaguely like an enemy vehicle. Or maybe I just didn't fill out my points allocation. But I should be able to win anyway, I had more tanks! Fix or do somefink!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Aitken Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 As you can see, I was using BTS's stock 'pink Panther'. Evidently Steve is in on the ruse as well. Still, Tiger being Tiger, as opposed to, say, Churchill or Pershing, his mods would probably make the Germans even more über than they already are... ...which, of course, brings us back to the gamey mods debate! I may have the edge due to my low-res bitmaps, but if you use mods from an artist sympathetic to your side, you can redress the balance! It's all starting to come together!
