I would have thought, for sure, with the forum reboot the powers that be would have banned half of you tossers. Guess quality control isn't quite what it should be. Watcher, have you finished your third battle yet? Did you manage to challenge Nidan1? Are you following directions and instructions at all? I think sburke was totally wrong. I have complete faith that you could successfully pour piss out of a boot, just make sure you do it on someone else, and not one of us illustryou... illisstry... illustriynous... amazing members of House Rune. I do have an announcement to make. Panzermike was correct. Indonesian peanut sauce on French Fries is quite good. I whipped up a batch of home made Sambal Kacang, put it on some home fries with a touch of mayonaisse and some onions, outstanding.

Well then get to it and win a battle for once! *boot* The Justicar keeps cheating with gamy tactics like blowing up my T-34's so you have to hold up the house honor. *boot* As for Nidan1, he has been pestering me for a game, but I am too busy to update my CMBN to the latest version, so, maybe, if you are a Lucky Squire, he might contes.... counder... condemsan.... agree to have a game with you. Beware, he is a tricksy old bugger, don't trust him, not at all. He likes to hide in the woods with a knife in his teeth, throw it behind you to distract you, then roundhouse kick you in the back of the head. Unless he forgets what he was doing and just starts humming old broadway show tunes.

Stay out of our crawl spaces, you wouldn't like what you find there.....

I just bought the base CMBN game as an Xmas gift for my daughters boyfriend. He saw me playing CMRT and seemed interested. When I asked he said he would like to try it out. Hopefully he gets hooked and wants more. What do you guys see as the potential to keep wargaming like CM and similar games alive in the new generations of gamers? Do you think the popularity of twitch FPSes and crappy RTSes have doomed serious gaming or is there still a glimmer of hope?

Sounds like a task for that stellar Squire, Watcher. There's a good lad, do some research and find the other houses besides House Rune, the Shavian House, Croda, and JD Morse(?). Is that last one really a house? Anyway, do a bang up job of it and I will propose you be advanced to Kanigget. Oh My Gosh..... Dosomefink.com is still an active community..... I... I just have no words.

Squire Watcher, pay these heathen no mind, although fries with mayonaisse, onions, and peanut sauce sounds intriguing. Nothing quite says cuisine like a 3AM Vegas buffet. amirite? Anyway, the Justicar is away in Boise, or Dallas, or some other 3rd rate metropolis for the week. Maybe when he returns he can address the question of forming new houses. I do see the need, based on the number of old, debased, defunct houses here in the MBT.

As a completely objective evaluation can clearly not be gotten from any of you maroons, I have to say this can only be fairly judged by a certain gnome well known for his versifying and pontificating. Therefore, as creator of the Haiku-off, I say the results shall not be finally determined until Seanachai shows his rosy cheeks, curly toed shoes, and slightly misshapen cranium here in the Cesspool to judge the relative merits of the submissions. Foul Shavian House Ancient master with evil grin his last tooth shines forth

That's it then, a haiku-off. House Rune vs Shavian House

Aren't you busy crashing our brand new helicopter or something? I know you are used to getting your Thanksgiving meal from the microwave or the local Chinese takeout, luckily we are not all such barbarians. The lovely Mrs ng cavscout and I are brining a turkey overnight and I will be putting together a home made sausage and herb stuffing in the morning. Watcher, be a good Squire and compose a limerick or a haiku about the lowly Shavian House.

This kid has potential I tell you, potential!

Nidan1 and I just finished up a night assault battle with the glorious army of the workers and peasants assaulting a ridge, then across a river, and finally up and across another ridge mass to dislodge the fascist Hun from our sacred soil. It was quite the blood bath, but (as expected) the righteous socialist fury of the glorious Red Army was not to be denied. The fascist scum had been pushed back and encircled when they finally threw themselves on the mercy of my brave soldiers and surrendered unconditionally. We will see how they like the mercy of the Gulag. As Stalin (or was it Lenin?) said, "There is more to do in Siberia than count trees now". *quote courtesy of Solzhenitsyn in Gulag Archipelago, great book if you haven't read it yet* Maybe Nidan1 has an excuse for the poor performance of his lads?

Did you get paid to kill her or were you just angry?

Well done lad. In recognition of your actually sticking through and completing a scenario reaching a typically Shavian House level of gaminess, combined with your impressive display of scathing and amusing abuse, I have decided to promote you to the exalted rank of Squire to House Rune. You may immediately assume all titles, privileges, and duties associated with the rank.

Bah, I keep waiting for you to start making sense and have gotten used to disappointment, much like you shall have to if awaiting my surrender.

The boot should, ideally, come from your liege. Of course, if he isn't up to it, I'm sure someone will be along shortly to set things right.

He hears that a lot. Poor guy.

They will go well with the 4 burning PSW hulls your liege left scattered about our battlefield over the last few minutes. They will be dropped off soon by a House Rune recovery vehicle.

If Old Foul Joe, yeah, I know protocol, fine, Joe Shaw has the stamina to take on Mormon Wives 4 at a time at his advanced age, I say more power to him. As for you Yeknodathon (bolded but I know not why) , changing someone's words is dirty cricket what? Run along now lad, you nasty blighter, off to the fish and chips stand, cheerio, what what?

I will be leaving for the glorious Northern Woods later today Joe Shaw, that will give you plenty of time to contemplate the messages the Gods are trying to send to you in the eddys and shapes the breeze makes of the smoke from your burning vehicles. See kids, Joe Shaw is using his well trained and equipped German Reconnaissance troopers in the way so many manuever commanders before him have, by marking the lines of enemy contact with large smoke signals from their burning scout cars. The heaped bodies of their crews are just to make sure the visually impaired can trace the line by smell as well. After losing 3 PSW's in less than 30 seconds, I imagine his Pixeltruppen will be contemplating what sins they committed in a previous life as to have such horrendous Karma so as to be saddled with Joe Shaw as a leader. You know what they say about Joe Shaw "..." well, not much actually, nothing good anyway. As for Nidan1, the ridge line he tried so... well... insert random adverb here (valiantly isn't really the word, how about ineffectually?) to hold, it is currently being well fertilized with German corpses in preparation for being turned into the latest "Glorious Collective Farm" for the greater glory of the Workers and Peasants. Well done Watcher. See Joe Shaw, what would be a graduate level exercise for a member of a lesser house, ***cough, cough, Shavian House, cough, cough,*** is nothing but a minor task, to be completed in passing, as an afterthought, by the thoroughbreds of House Rune.

We have, however, seen plenty of Dribble, thanks to your presence oh great and venerable Justicar.

Quite the use of verbal imagery there Watcher. Really paints a picture of the quality the Shavian house represents. The unflickable boogie is especially apt. Given your ability with the pen, perhaps not quite as adept on the field if the AAR is to be believed, but one works with what one has, I do think I made a wise(ish) choice in selecting you as a Serf of House Rune. Your first task on the road to squireship is a discussion of the evolutionary mishaps, missteps, and mistakes leading to such moral and genetic anomalies as Yeknodathon and House Shaw. Do try and make a decent showing of it against sburke if you can manage it. We do have standards to uphold after all.

Untrue. Joe Shaw is a Zima kind of guy.

This lad Watcher shows some promise. Hard not to shine when compared to the dregs favored by the Shaving House, but still, not bad considering. Go get 'em lad, smite the dogs. I request rights of first refusal on this lowly SSN. I propose Watcher as Serf. If he does well in this battle and posts some excellent AAR' s we shall consider him for Squire in the House of Rune.

Probably the only two games you have ever won...

[serious]Thank you. I made a full recovery and returned to full duty 3 months after the incident. My health is actually just fine. There were no permanent physical effects from the wound and there have been no noticeable long term psychological issues. [ /serious] As for what I find cute, don't judge me. I have spent the last two years killing virtual zombies with Joe Shaw. That would twist anyone. He microwaves steaks for goodness sake.
