<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Son, we live in a world where the cream rises to the top, and milk clumps like you sink to the bottom only to get scraped out of the jug later on by some fat milkmaid wearing your daddy's shirt.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Actually there's a school of thought which states that any bureaucracy is very much like a cesspool, in that the really big chunks rise to the top. Apropos of nothing at all of course.

MadBot, and how many, pray tell, have YOU assimilated. Now don't give me any pretentious arguments about "influence" or "touched the lives of" (and for God's sake let's just stay away from the subject of touching entirely) but rather tell me in how many POSTS on this board YOU have used the words "You are assimilated" or something of that nature? Hmmmm? In reviewing your pathetic posting stats I see a grand total of a paltry dozen or so posts so the number best not exceed that. Now compare that to the tally racked up by our esteemed CM Borg. You may now slink away with tail tucked between legs. Oh, and I don't want to hear about some presumed posts made by someone else that you will CLAIM as your own. Next thing you'll be claiming that all of MadMatts posts are yours.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>The CMBorg has been assimulated. BWAHAHAHAAA<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> SACRILEGE! ... That some wet behind the ears, upstart, johnny come lately whippersnapper should DARE to make the comment quoted above ... it is not to be endured. The CM Borg, my good man, has PAID HIS DUES, he has gone out of his way to assimilate dozens, nay hundreds into the CM collective. While there has been the odd lapse now and then, he has been most diligent in his duties. You sir, presume too much!

This is probably old news to some of you but,
Lest we forget ...
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>We have learned from Hasbro that the multiplayer element in B-17 II: The Mighty Eighth, has been removed from the final product. Due to time restraints and their wish to have the product released this year, it was decided to remove it from the simulation. There are no plans to include multiplayer in a future patch. B-17 II is due to be released late November. This news was originally surfaced in an article on Games Domain by Mike Smith<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> And this is the sort of thing that happens when "The Big Guys" get their hands on a product. I have several friends who were very eager for this product, they had even joined squadrons dedicated to playing multiplayer. Then this. Thanks to Steve and Charles for staying the course and doing it right.

I read and enjoyed it tremendously. I've also read the other books that Coyle wrote and liked them as well. I seem to recall seeing that someone was working on some Team Yankee scenarios but a quick search didn't bring up anything.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>But conciliation is out-of-character with my Cesspool persona, to which I must now return, that being the real me...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Do drop by though, Mark IV has some very nice skirts ... get it ... Mark IV ... skirts? Just an example of the out-of-control hilarity to be found in the 'pool.
It should be noted though, that many of us who frequent the 'pool DO have persona's and they are not to be taken seriously ... yeah right, like THAT'll ever happen.

I blame Peng too, I'm not sure what for but I think it has something to do with hamsters.
Joe

Was I the only one to notice the Borg's smilie? Or did I miss it earlier. In any case, very nice Borg, well done.

No dumb hamster ever won a war by dying for their nest, they won it by making the other poor dumb hamster die for his nest.JOe

I'm sorry but I will need that in the form of a question.

Sept. 16, 19:49 GMT ... And The Crowd Will Go Wild! ... or not. The important thing is that Andreas NOT win.

You had to edit a crummy five line post? And no "whereas" or "party of the first part" either, I'm so proud of you.
The race goes not to the swift nor the battle to the strong ... no wait, the battle goes not to ... uh ... screw it. Hope your other AC enjoys life without it's TC.
It's tough to taunt when the facts are all against you.

Quite right Kingfish. My basic rule of thumb is that if I feel uncomfortable about doing something, it's verging on being gamey. However, it's become clear to me that there will be no resolution on the gamey issue. BTS will continue to do the best they can to disallow/discourage gamey tactics. Barring that it's up to you to play people who play with "your" style.

You want to play rough Kunzler, fine, I'll have you know that my 6th grade teacher had a brother-in-law who was a camerman on the old Ben Casey TV show. {Yeah I know but it was the best I had} ... Zooks huh? And Steve NEVER hears about it? Hmmm.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Will begging help?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> No, I was thinking of something a BIT more substantial, perhaps a Panther offerring a clean flank shot while it's turret is pointing the wrong way? And we don't need to get litigators involved, they tend to think in such black and white terms, like "blackmail" for example, I think "negotiation" is a much better term don't you?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Hey Joe, remember *snip*? And I did not even have tanks at the beginning and still beat you around the map with your guns and Panthers and whatnot... Gee that was fun...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Actually that was fun, and pretty damn tense right up till the end {sigh}. But I learned from that that CM models armor against infantry very well in most cases. Not that I applied any of that knowledge in our LAST battle

Quite correct MB (sorry but I can't bring myself to use the complete nickname) you posted a simple request for a PBEM game and got some snide comments as a result. Not too cool. You must, however, be aware of the fact that your nickname is BOUND to cause some of that. Now you can choose any name you like (within reason) but don't be too surprised when it causes ... comment.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Especially since once yer tanks are blown, it's Game Over.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Are you kidding? That's when the fun starts. Now mind you I'd rather have tanks than not, but just because you've lost your armor is NO reason to pack it in.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Is it possible that the full moon is coming? The board seems a bit strange these days...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> There does seem to be SOMETHING going around doesn't there ... after all, when the Peng thread represents a haven of normalcy, there's something wrong.

BTS...How about a new CM2 dev. board?
