Hey Peter,
Have
you downloaded 1.02 yet? It is pretty neat to be able to draw arrows on the map. I also believe from the read me, that you will be able to import your own maps later.

Ahh...
A little song for the aussies on thier special day.
*****************************
"Forgotten Years"
Few of the sins of the father
Are visited upon the son
Hearts have been hard
Hands have been clenched into fists too long
Our sons need never be soldiers
Our daughters will never need guns
These are the years between
These are the years that were hard fought and won
Contracts torn at the edges
Old signatures stained with tears
Seasons of war and grace
These should not be forgotten years
Still it aches like tetanus
It reeks of politics
How many dreams remain?
This is a feeling too strong to contain
CHORUS
The hardest years, the darkest years
The roarin' years, the fallen years
These should not be forgotten years
The hardest years, the wildest years
The desperate and divided years
We will remember
These should not be forgotten years
Our shoreline was never invaded
Our country was never in flames
This is the calm we breathe
This is a feeling too strong to contain
Still it aches like tetanus
It reeks of politics
Signatures stained with tears
Who can remember, we've got to remember
The hardest years, the darkest years
Forsaking aching breaking years
The time 'n' tested heaeartbreak years
These should not be forgotten years
The blinded years, the binded years
The desperate and divided years
These should not be forgotten years
Remember

Well Guy w/gun,
I think you saw what a well brought off ambush can be capable of. Especialy since it was at night and you walked right into them.

Just a heads up.

by germanboy:
Lorak is currently experiencing the pain of being killed by the Irish Guards. Die-a-lot now.
Pardon me sir. But what game are you playing?
Herr Lorak....has destroyed approx 20 or so tanks and vehicles?
Herr Germanboy... has umm... died a lot.. Oh yes, and shot up 1 platoon of my infantry, 2 AT guns, and a MG team.
Interesting....
**NOTE**
My e-mail is down right now. In fact if any of you are sending any mail to a road runner address in north carolina, it is most likely down.
They are working on the problem, but haven't got an ETA on when it will be up.

chrisl,
Ok, so your a geek. Granted I really didn't think anyone here would know of the Masquarade from the RPG, or the live action troops in most towns. Hell I knew know of you could read, so that throws out all of the books too. (they are very good I might add).
But I did figure that you guys might be geeky enough to have bought the computer RPG that came out last year.

lol Kitty,
Well done. Well done indeed.

They are the exact same as regular Grenadiers. The "volks" was added late in the war to bolster moral in "the peoples" army.
They are not to be confused with the volkstrum. The home guard made up of old men and children.

Pretty funny really. I get called a geek for bringing it up as a short snippet. But behold,
Berli knows of it.
PeterNZ knows of it.
Chrisl knows of it.
Seems there are a lot of geeks on this board.
Oh and in case you were wondering Madmatt is a Gangrel.
LMAO

LOL,
I'm sorry Kitty. Let me see if I can find a couple of links real quick...
This site gives some information. If nothing else you can read about the 7 major clans.

Well Oh dark one, I Guess you would be one to know.
Kitty,
Please accept my apology at having offended your lineage. I considerd the others in the pool of being to low to even be noticed by the great clan.

Now why wouldn't I have guessd that the devil knew of the masquerade...
But Venture? Why would you think Kitty was a Venture? She comes of as normal, not stuck up at all. She also seems to fit in with todays culture. No not venture at all.
She does present, with her art, a bit of the toreador, but her arse-kicking ways seem to knock that one out. Not quite crude enough to be Brujah, but her wardrobe seems to fit. I still say Assamite, quite, non-boasting, deadly.

LMAO... This coming from someone who said to themselves:
"gee golly, them englishman sure are swell, I wish I could be so fortunate to be called a limey one day..."
and then packed up and moved to London to make your dreams come true. I can only assume that it had something to do with the NZ women being so lovely that you couldn't handle it. So you ran to a woman more your speed.. like Margret Thatcher.
yep, nothing in london but moles and trolls.

PeterNZ...
As much as I loath to admit that other people are right, even more than I loath myself, I have to agree with you.
Granted I gave Kitty to the brujah thinking she would be a member of the camarilla. But with your post I am not too sure.
I would hazard to say that she could be a member of the sabbat.....
Or better yet. I see her as an Assamite.
Really no matter, I would grant her a dwelling in my domain.

Alrighty,
Lets see what the old Tome update holds today.
First, new pictures of:
Elvis,Hiram,Mensch,Pawbroon,Babra,Mark IV,
and David.
For game updates.... All I can say is that I am disapointed in you lot. (even more so than normal.) Kitty has advised me that her record was about as right as mace's sex life.
Seems several of you, have been holding back on letting us know Kitty has scratched your eyes out.
Kitty-win
Stuka-loss
Kitty- 2 wins
Mace- 2 loses
Kitty-win
Mensch-loss
Mensch-win
Kitty-loss
Kitty-draw
Berli-draw
As for Kitty... I would have to place her as a Brujah justicar. If any of you uneducated dolts even know what that is I'll be surprised.
Now for more teachings from the Lorak. When the french king and his puppet pope decided to sell out the templars and murder them for a few coins, he sold his country out for eternity. Notice that since that day France has not become, nor will ever become anything. Sadly for the King, the majority of the templars made thier escape taking the riches with them. They fled to Ireland, Scotland, Germany, ect... Afterwords the Templars (who had actualy started the "banking" process, by loaning money to other lords and kings), setteled down unknown in Sweeden. There, they took thier riches and founded the great banking kingdom. The only thing they really changed was thier red cross on a white standard, to a white cross on a red standard....
Just a little something to think about.

However, Henri makes a very good point. Please do not idolize anyone in the Peng Challenge Thread (except for Lorak, who is expecting it).
Damn skippy! Now that I have placed my god like image in the tome, I expect....nay DEMAND, some damn idols and graven worship take place!
Now drop to your knees and kiss the ring.
NO! Not that one you twits! my big toe ring, with the nice wool boot sock lint stuck in it.

Umm.. Pretty much true. Believe it our not I have a nice sarcastic streak, and yes, I actualy go around telling people how great I am. Sadly, The seem to think that is a joke also. As for the picture... If I was vain I'd change it. Personaly, I think it makes me look like I am retaining water.

Germanboy,
You are indeed correct that "Siuil a ruin" is about the Wild Geese going to france, Believe it was written in the 17th century.
Some other "Wild Geese" out takes...to futher the enlightenment of the pool.
War-Battered Dogs we are,
Fighters in every clime;
Fillers of trench and of grave,
Mockers bemocked by time.
War dogs hungry and grey,
Gnawing a naked bone,
Fighters in every clime-
Every cause but our own
--Emily Lawless
"The Wild Geese shall return, and we'll welcome them home
So active, so armed, so flighty,
A flock was ne'er know to this island to come
Since the days of Prince Fionn the mighty.
They will waste and destroy,
Overturn and o'erthrow,
They'll accomplish whate'er may in man be!
Just heaven they will bring
Devastation and woe
On the host of the tyrannous Seaghan Buidhe"
ahh... lovely lads the Geese.

Umm, nice post Kitty.
Sadly I feel that the carnal cravings you have aroused in these digenerates, has eroded some of the Glorious Lorak's teachings.
So with out further adue:
Teachings from the Lorak
I have taught for many years now the necessity for developing our capabilities for Compassion and Forgiveness. Now, you are going to find out why…no matter what comes towards you, turn not from the Light that the Father-Mother God in you knows that it is…turn not, for the path is open now for you to create the consequence of the future reality .
We are all artists painting a divine landscape, and the canvas is clean and the palette is new. It is as if we have had, in many instances, the cataracts removed from our eyes. At first it will be slightly uncomfortable this new display of the Light…almost blinding, because we are not accustomed to looking directly into the Light. It will be, to many of us, as though the journey has changed in nature. We will start to realize that we have already arrived. Only the circumstance of our unexpected arrival or awakening are to be adjusted. And to this, expect much drama, for we are thespians all upon this stage of dreams.
Now, reality is to be intensified as well. Many of us might wake up to find that we are in fact surrounded by those who do not really wish to interact with us to our best desires. Also, we might expect to find that circumstances have shifted suddenly, and irreversibly... It is the circumstance of your chosen attitudes that are creating the magnet that has so long held you to old and no longer useful energies, patterns, habits. Now suddenly you will find yourself in circumstances where these old patterns of reality no longer apply for you….
You will see the falsity, and the hypocrisy of many people during this part of the change. Work on your compassion, and forgiveness energy...…allow and be willful, being a spiritual and Peaceful person never meant to be wishy washy…and beige…..No, quite the opposite. It is time for you to make changes, own up to it and make it your obligation to own the new dream. Just pick up your feet... "It's time to go"…as was said once long ago in a Pink Floyd song. You can change no one. It is not your right, nor your privilege. That is their own responsibility.
For many of us, we are going to become aware of a feeling as though we are on the other side of a veil. Things will appear as though they are the same, yet everything will be different. You will realize quickly that almost every detail of the picture has been worked, so to speak…..Much of this is due to the awakening to the subtle body, and the access to awareness that the merging, at least a certain degree of it, has been accomplished..... that you have arrived…and now must act in a different manner…like learning to walk all over again.
As you reach the moment of realization, and you no longer need the lesson, things will go from you; you will be released. This will, in some circumstances, happen quite suddenly, as if someone just turned on a switch. One minute you're are sitting waiting for your apple pie and in the next you will be sitting there going…"Apple Pie, I detest Apple pie. Peach!! I distinctly ordered peach"….
Understand that there is still polarity upon this plane. And that on one hand you will be experiencing and witnessing these seemingly miraculous changes, and the complete washing away of pain and conflict…whilst on the other side of the field of vision the conflict will actually be increasing. Remember the key word here "Everything" will Intensify…: You might be headed right toward an outcome and Wham!! The rug will seemingly be pulled out from under you. That is because either you were headed in the wrong direction, or your efforts were so great that you changed the outcome entirely, so the circumstances altered. Wham!! Just like that. Hang in there, and remember that this is a dream…..Don't lose your sense of direction and you will come around and reestablish your new route to the already emotionally chosen destination point you made in your heart….. Develop fluid flexibility. Expect change…..after all it is natural….
Remember you are much more than hu-man; you are a spiritual being having a Hu-man experience…..It is not the other way around…only monkeys see it that way….So fess up -- which are you? There is no fooling Mother-Father-God…and when God plays games with reality…heads up…..Master control has just been overridden. You, me, everyone on this plane has a contract. We all came in with a chosen role to play out in the Hu-man Drama. Now it is time to bring the beef to the table. Nothing can alter that; there is no avoidance…not this time. Regarding Past Karma, you are released …..but New Karma ........ You must learn to be aware of what you are doing. This is either self-taught through experience or the intensity of the experience will be turned up a bit, so for many of us the game is about to shift into advanced Dungeons and Dragons….
Ahh.. much better now. I believe I have them confused enough to forget the hooters !
