Ahh, losers.
Just to advise you that I have been writing the game updates down. Sadly Yahoo in thier great wisdom is not allowing me to update anything this evening... so don't bug me.
Busy weekend, but I finally got all my turns out today. I hope the ugliness that are my tactics found you all well.
Now... quick question.
Since I am so into grog porn I bought a web cam today. Does anyone else here use one?
If so I could post a conference list on my site too.

No Elvis,
That is pretty much what I was saying.
Same as in football... the player to throw the second punch is the one that always gets flagged.
**note by throwing punches I don't mean personally. As I don't think anything was taken personally.**

Cripies,
Leave for a day, come back, get hit with a brick.
First point:
I really hope no hard feelings are shared by any in this latest fiasco.
Second Point:
I think both parties in this incident and several others in incidents in the past have gone a little overboard. Due to the spoty moderating of this thread ,(no offense to Matt or the others, just a lot of postings for them to monitor), I think this was a classic case of the second player throwing the punch getting caught. I even believe Kitty would admit to going way graphicaly overboard lately.
Third point:
Really I have none. I guess we just need to continue being civil.
As you all know Croda has started a forum up. I am wondering If it might be better to actualy move the Peng thread there?
I was thinking that the cesspool has evolved into a gaming club more than anything.
So We could look at Croda's More as the
"cesspool gaming forum"
Where...egads... there could be more than one thread.
We could have a taunting thread of course.
But also talk about other games, maybe even fight in some of those like steel Beasts, Have a squire thread for people wantig to join... ect..
Turn the Cesspool into something more than just taunting. I'd obviously link to it from my page.
This would also allow us to self moderate ourselves. Something we lack the ability to do here. But even if things get out of hand, It will not be on BTS's private forum.
You know we all have each others e-mail, so we could take this private, but i wanted to post my thoughts on the matter.
I'm not saying abandon this forum, just that it might be better to rearrange our posting habits.
Lorak the loathed.
ps. in case you missed it.
Croda's forum is here.

Cripes!
Just went to that thread...
Hell he even has Fionn posting in that thing now.
I wonder if talonsoft knows the horror they have unleashed upon themselves...
Ahh,, yes Peng thread has gone global...

Trooper,
I find it kind of historicaly funny that Ireland still has females in Front line positions.
I have several books on Irish history, and all of them expound the ability of Irish women in combat over the centuries. In fact when people came to invade them they made it a point to explain how dangerous the Irish women were. Haven't dug far enough back on The Celts in general, but have found several entrees of Celtic women swordmasters that run schools for training the men.
Just a bit of rambeling....

Just a suggestion,
After one of you Recieve the Mod and have it running...
Could one of you post a screen shot of it?

Now Matt..
There are lots of us here that have respect for you.... we just happen to keep it in a jar, burried in the backyard, behind the woodpile....
But we do have it!

Ahh... Moriarty,
I haven't even begun to show you how bad I can lose. You'll have futher proof shortly, as soon as the first movie, most likely.
Tome update:
Jshandorf-win
Germanboy-loss
Tis sad being the Lorak.. Seems I can not escape being hounded by Meeks on Matts chat server everynight before bed.
So I have agreed to give him a TCP/IP game this evening.
As a side bet...we have the following.
If I win: Meeks sends in a picture of him and his girl.
If Meeks wins: I have to place a war section on the cesspool site saying how much we hate the Krew and all the stupid gits that might end up there.
Seemed decent to me. But as I am an idiot... what do I know?
For my games....
Germanboy... Is still Dying, but he is doing it with style. In fact I may even decide to lose this one.
Moriarty... It seems that both of us are out to prove how bad we really are... How low can a Draw score be? 1-1?
Hakko....I'm really looking forward to this little map made by Germanboy. Oh, I'm sure I'll lose. But nice sceanery helps.
GiTom... Thanks just because I cheated and moved the flags, that I might win. Hogwash. I can lose no matter what.
Wilhammer... Not of the pool.. But he is beating my arse so bad, I just had to post it. Does Moriartys ego some good.
TTFN

Slappy,
yep you just submit the cease fire order alnog with your move. Then the opposing player either accepts or declines. If he also hits ceasefire the battle ends. If he doesn't... Oh well.
One thing to remember is that the Ceasefire hot key works as a toggle switch. So if you hit it again later, it actualy turns it off.
Best to let your foe know that you have entered a ceasefire request and let him write back stating that he accepted it or not.

*** Service announcment ***
Someone needs to consider starting a New Peng Thread soon. Seems we start causing the Forum problems now if we get over about 25-30 pages.
Figure we could take it upon ourselves to be our own moderators instead of waiting for the Mad one to lock us down.
Just a thought.

Quick little update until I can waste more time later.
There is a new group pic on page 4.
Peng, Elvis, and Hiram during a night of drinking... and um...you can guess.
The picture sent in was good. sadly it loses some detail in the cutting and re-sizing.
For My games:
Germanboy.... this game is still ugly, I believe it was a Rune creation, so what do you expect.
Hakko... Just getting started on this nice little map by Germanboy.Seems like it will be hell soon enough though.
GiTom... Due to a clerical error by his intelligence staff, has started his attack well short of the objectives.
Moriarty... Berli is just a low down sack of pig ****e. This has to be one of the most screwed up maps I have ever seen. It is so bad... that I might move Moriarty's and My Name back to the squire list.

I really have nothing important to say.
I just finished doing my set up for a nice game with Moriarty.
Now taken that this map was created by Berli.... I just had to pop in and tell Berli how much I hate him.
This is the damn, darkest, dankest, jigzaw map I've seen in a long long time.

Ahh So true Joe,
We accept pretty much everyone... Providing they understand what the are trying to join.
We enjoy taunting first and foremost. But it has to be clever and well done. It also needs to be at least in good taste. Well, as good as you would expect when telling someone what a low life git thier parents raised.
Obscure also works wonders, making crazy links to obscue poetry, literature, and or historical events is also a plus.
You see we get our kicks above the waistline sunshine.

Maj Bosco,
As for Tungsten use.. I really have no problem with the way it is modeled now. BTS has made tungsten a little less deadly, but has programed the units to use it more. It only makes sense for units to use what they have.
The whole point argument started with Players upset at the seemingly lopsided armor points avalible to the two sides when playing a combined force quick battle.
I'm a long time supporter of using what you have to the best of your ability. What most people wanted was just for both sides to be totally even.
After BTS chimed in and gave thier reasons for the what they did, and how they designed it. I really didn't mind to much. Just a matter of knowing what you are going to have to work with and changing tactics acordingly.
As for side and battle preference. I prefer the Germans, but I am usually the allies in 75% of my games. I play almost soley PBEM games, but plan on playing TCP/IP when time premits. I prefer double blind scenarioes. But QB's are the norm.
I hope this topic doesn't degrade to a flame fest. I honestly believe that it hard at first because the change hit people flat footed. Personaly, while at first hitting the german player where he notices it most (in the armor). I think with the added infantry it balances out. In my games as the Germans, it has forced me to play diffrent and learn to really use infantry forces correctly.
Just my .02

PENG I TAKE YOUR CHALLANGE TO GERMANY!!
in Combat Mission Archive #3 (2001)
Posted
Herr Poolers,
To show that I kan kut and paste as well as the next.
so for a more german feel... 99luftballons{sheesh}
I give you Rammstein:
Wer zu Lebzeit gut auf Erden
wird nach dem Tod ein Engel werden
den Blick gen Himmel fragst Du dann
warum man sie nicht sehen kann
Erst wenn die Wolken schlafen gehen
kann man uns am Himmel sehen
wir haben angst und sind allein
Gott wieb ich will kein Engel sein
Sie leben hinterm Sonneschein
getrennt von uns unendlich weit
sie müssen sich an Sterne krallen
damit sie nicht vom Himmel fallen
Erst wenn die Wolken schlafen gehen
kann man uns am Himmel sehen
wir haben angst und sind allein
Gott wieb ich will kein Engel sein
Erst wenn die Wolken schlafen gehen
kann man uns am Himmel sehen
wir haben angst und sind allein
Gott wieb ich will kein Engel sein
