    Ahh.. Roborat.

    It is nice to see the Dawn of Hope raise head in a squire...before I step on it.

    First Slapdragon.... Umm, he has showed up before.. and like this time I give him a couple days, before he leaves again. Really not worth my trouble to change a page for a grog passing in the night.

    As for you... Lets see.

    Posting and contributing to the thread.

    I have you posting to the Cesspool the following days (yes, I have no life).

    10/12

    almost 2 months pass...

    12/01

    Then you cut it in half to a month.

    1/05

    then you cut it in half again to 2 weeks

    1/16

    now again down to 1 week

    1/23

    now to a little less than a week

    1/29

    As you can see.. you are getting a lot better. But not quite there yet.

    As for games... 5 sounded like a good number. But you must have both games and presence.

    Terence,

    While I haven't bought Steel Beasts yet ( I just don't have the time for it right now)

    I would say the fun factor is great

    Realism is great.

    Game play is great.

    Graphics are not "FPS up to date"

    But the game Like Cm is a compleate package. You really get so engrossed in the game that you don't notice.

    If you haven't already, you owe it to yourself to download and try the demo. It really is a lot of fun.

    umm, busy week at home for the old Lorak.

    So If I owe anyone turns, and our setups, I will get those out this evening when I get home.

    Busy day in the Tome...lets get started.

    New Pictures up:

    Lawyer, Bauhaus, Jshandorf, Mace, Stevetherat

    Games:

    Peng-win /Goanna-loss

    PeterNZ-2wins /Hiram-2loses

    Elvis-win / germanboy-loss

    Peng-win / Berli-loss

    Babra-draw / Bastables-draw

    Elvis-win / Hiram-loss

    Stuka-win / Croda-loss

    OGSF-win / Speedy-loss

    Speedy-win / Jdmorse-loss

    Now For a little Squire/Knight news...

    I want to welcome Stuka into the Halls of Knighthood and give a nice "well Done" for his victory over the Croda.

    Now Over the weekend I have been giving the Squires a little thought. We all know that being a knight in the pool has nothing to do with playing ability. I also noticed that a lot of the people that are very active in the pool.. both with games and with posting are regulated to squire status. We also know that the wannabe then squire section was originaly started as a place to put people until it was decided they would stay and continue to be produtive members of our society.

    So... I have decided that from this day forward. Squires will be squires until they have proven the are here for good. Test are pretty simple really.

    1) They have to be active in the thread.

    2) Must complete 5 games with other pool members.

    I think that by reaching both those goals we have pretty much weeded the lone posters in the night out.

    With that being said. The following people have proven themselves worthy of becoming full members of the pool.

    Stuka

    Mace

    Croda

    Bastables

    Speedy

    Jshandorf

    PeterNZ

    Kitty

    Though you disagree whether or not they are all useless gits... They have at least proven that they are here posting and playing.

    Now..New Squire postings.

    Does your background 'hide' you?

    Iggi,

    No offense but have you really thought about what you are asking?

    That every single enemy unit has to check for LOS on every one of your troops, vehicle/men, then the program has to take into account every unit that has LOS to every single unit and decide not only if it is in LOS, what kind of cover, terrain, stance, but then what backdrop is behind every one of your units considering the LOS angles from all units with LOS to it.

    Would be sweet if it could happen.

    But it is a bit much I think.

    Ahh yes,

    Thank you Meeks,

    By the way the Crape Myrtles wanted me to let everyone know that this is the time to remove the dead flower sections and prune them to promote new growth this summer.

    {sigh}

    It really is no use to taunt you Lawyer. I knew that as soon as I found out you were from North Carolina. Growing up here numbs you to any insult one can fling at you. Hell look at the national news sometimes.

    If there is a story about NC on there I know it will be:

    1)"Man shoots at planes by airport" Hell next thing I knew this UFO was scaring my best coon dog, So I just had to shoot at it.

    2)tornado, flood, ect..

    picture.....Nice woman in a nightgown around 4pm, holding a marlboro in one hand, a chained Rot in the other, balancing a baby on one hip, while 4 others peer through the torn screen door of her single wide.

    "hell me and the babies had just turned on that there Jerry show to see my sister and he ex. When all sud'en like, butch, my dog here starts barking like a deer's in the garbage...."

    Sad really.. what can one really say to offend one from our state?

    More insane babbling from the Lorak.

    Todays lesson concerns Discordia.

    = The POEE Baptismal Rite =

    This Mysteree Rite is not required for initiation, but it is offered by many POEE Priests to proselytes who desire a formal ceremony.

    1) The Priests and four Brothers are arranged in a pentagon with the Initiate in the center facing the Priests. If possible, the Brothers on the immediate right and left of the Priest should be Deacons. The Initiate must be totally naked, to demonstrate that he is truly a human being and not something else in disguise like a cabbage or something.

    2) All persons in the audience and the pentagon, excepting the Priest, assume a squatting position and return to a standing position. This is repeated four more times. This dance is symbolic of the humility of we Erisians.

    3) The Priest begins: I, (complete Holy Name, with Mystical Titles, and degrees, designations, offices, etc.), Ordained Priest of the Paratheo-anametamystikhood of Eris Esoteric, with the Authority invested at me by the High Priest of It, Office of the Polyfather, The House of the Rising Podge, POEE Head Temple; Do herewith Require of Ye:

    ARE YE A HUMAN BEING AND NOT A CABBAGE OR SOMETHING?

    The Initiate answers YES.

    THAT'S TOO BAD. DO YE WISH TO BETTER THYSELF?

    The Initiate answers YES.

    HOW STUPID. ARE YE WILLING TO BECOME PHILOSOPHICALLY ILLUMINIZED?

    He answers YES.

    VERY FUNNY. WILL YE DEDICATE YESELF TO THE HOLEY ERISIAN MOVEMENT?

    The Initiate answers PROBABLY.

    THEN SWEAR YE THE FOLLOWING AFTER ME:

    (The Priest here leads the Initiate in a recital of THE ERISIAN AFFIRMATION.)

    The Priest continues: THEN I DO HERE PROCLAIM YE POEE DISCIPLE (name), LEGIONNAIRE OF THE LEGION OF DYNAMIC DISCORD. HAIL ERIS! HAIL HAIL! HAIL YES!

    4) All present rejoice grandly. The new Brother opens a large jug of wine and offers it to all who are present.

    5) The Ceremony generally degenerates.

    Mord says that Omar says that we are all unicorns anyway.

    DO NOT PULL ON YELLOW TIP

    3. And though Omar did bid of the Collector of Garbage, in words that were both sweet and bitter, to surrender back the cigar box containing the cards designated by the Angel as The Honest Book of Truth, the Collector was to him as one who might be smitten deaf, saying only: 'Gainst the rules, y'know

    Lawyer,

    I laugh at you sir.

    So you think I am related to Hoss. Well..so be it.

    I tried to save you further insult by showing my wife on the site.

    But I am forced to remind you that the Cowboy always gets the girl.

    Oh, one of both of us.. Since I know you'll assume I'm lying.

    I had prepared an insult for you also.. But I believe what is posted above is enough.

    Bugger. As soon as the lesions on my corneas heal, Lorak, I'm driving out to 'Horrible Southern Land' and slapping you with a trout until yours ears bleed.

    Why Seanachai, Being beat with a dead animal is almost considered foreplay 'round these parts.

    Hell I'll even wear my clean overalls and shine my boots for a good trout beating.
