It may be a tradition that's shared by the Commonwealth Countries? Regardless, to all those Vets that fought for their respective countries, this day is to remember your sacrifices. Mace

But that's not the reason I'm here! Some non-cesspoolean has questioned our honour (that we have none is irrelevant, it is still being questioned)! It is time to once again rally and defend our fine traditions. Meeting place is: http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/012496.html act now (oh, and bring a cut lunch)! Mace

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Spook: It's actually quite straightforward in its formulation. I assume that all here are acquainted with the following function: y = 1 / x x = the number of outstanding issues or unresolved complaints that the grogs will have with a wargame y = the number of NEW issues that grognards will throw in, with the expectation that the wargame can be revised to accomodate these next.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Very good, B+, but it's much more mathematically correct to say that y is inversely proportion to x. Once that is stated, the formula correctly becomes y = c/x where c is a constant which can be determined by studying the relationship between the two variables y and x. The good thing about a constant is that you can give it any title. Any suggestions welcomed (the "B*ll**** factor" comes to mind)! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>OK, this is starting to get boring to many of you, I suppose. You may now proceed to the Peng cesspool thread to watch how some people's "remarkable" wit & ribaldry is eclipsed by their epic inability to get a life. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> No I enjoyed it! I look forward to your treatise on Quantum Mechanical interactions between cesspool matter and the causual impact these have on cesspoolean occupants and their ability to process CMBO PBEM turns! Now excuse me, I have a life to get! Mace

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by von shrad: I can't wait for that wail in CM2! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The wail of a Ju87 is fine! However, the wail of an defeated CMBO PBEM opponent is much more enjoyable! Mace

Then again, you could always go out and buy a tank sim like Panzer Elite or Steel Beasts! Mace

Some CC5 vagrants have wandered into the house and upset the inhabitants by asking for a handout (of a decent tactical level wargame)! Peterneter New Zealander, since you've been remiss and stirred up the homeless, you can gather them up and kick them out! Otherwise, we can either skitch Kitty on them (go for the throat, Kitty), or we can get Joe Shaw to tell them about his CMBO exploits!

I for one will download, play and enjoy (as I always do with the Wild Bill Wilder product). But please note, Wild Bill, your reference to "gentlemen" confused me no end! Mace PS If you ever have room for another Aussie, I'll be quite happy to assist (why I can even help keep Mr Rock in line)

Religion is unimportant. A person's sex is relatively unimportant, and even nationality or sexual preference(s) of a minor consideration (seanachai, tsk, tsk - you forgot sexual pervisity/preferences).

We all know why! You have to have some intelligence to appreciate and enjoy the brilliance that is CMBO. I'm surprised that some of the frequent "grognard" writers to PCGAMER have the nonce to put a sentence together! Mace

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Seanachai: Stop That! I went over to that horrible place because Peng asked me to, and I didn't understand what was going on; I thought he'd sent me over to a CMers BBS. Do not go taunt the CC people, it does not promote wargaming brotherhood. Worse, they start coming over here. Now, there's plenty of people to insult right here at home. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> What's the difference between being insulted by a CMer and CC5er? Absolutely Nothing! Let them come, let them insult, we'll just treat the poster with the same level of distaste and contempt that we reserve for our fellow CMers anyhow! Mace btw, I agree with Seanachai....terrible, terrible place!

In answer to your first question: No, I'm a public servant, I don't work for a living! But Jeff did employ me, yes! second question: I doubt it! First, I have numerous CMBO PBEM turns to process. Second, I have a wife who likes handing out chores (that dont get done, refer First reason), and third, IMHO a horse is something you put hay in one end, and extract Sh*t from the other. Occassionaly, the horse likes to run around an oval because it's otherwise bored sh*tless by a meaningless existance (much like our wonderful Seanachai), dreaming of a life it could of had if it was given hands rather than hoofs, and the intelligence to process a decent CMBO PBEM turn!

In Australia, with postage, CMBO is a tad more expensive than an off-the-shelf computer game. But as CMBO is about 100 times more enjoyable and entertaining. It is money well spent!!!!!! I'm definitely going to buy the rest of the series, regardless of cost! Mace
