I was within a hair of turning it into a draw, but I don't think that's a boast that will get me very far... Still, Bauhaus, irritating little homunculus that he is, played a good game. He played steady, he played cagey. He only did one completely bizarre and foolish thing (charged a platoon into a platoon under cover, and lost them almost to a man), and for the rest displayed relatively sound tactics and forethought. Since then, of course, the PS2 use has rotted what brain he had, and our rematch shall result in such a staggering loss for him that he will have to sell the bloody playstation to pay for rebuilding his personality through therapy.

He came in and actually insulted all sorts of people, briefly, to be sure, but personally. I like the personal touch. It says, 'I hate you enough to specifically call you a useless toad', and 'You're not just individuals to me, you're individuals I loathe'. That's lovely. I shall endeavour to return to leading young minds into the darkness (remember that here in the 'Pool we are in the Dreamtime, and our journeys bring into being new worlds...), just as soon as the people who were foolish enough to hire me accept the fact that I have no clue, and stop making demands and using odd phrases like 'value added results', and 'proactive empowerment through technological application to employee projects'. ------------------ Tremble, tyrants and you perfidious opprobrium of all the parties, Tremblez! your parricidal projects finally will receive their prices!

To my long-suffering PBEM opponents (all of whom are Peng Challenge Threaders). My apologies for my temporary disappearance and lack of returns. I was out of town for the last 4 days, and my mass email to opponents never cleared my hard drive. I haven't even had a chance to get caught up on the 'Pool, yet.

I had not thought even as vile an individual as Bauhaus would actually involve themselves with this form of entertainment, the gaming equivalent of crack. Bauhaus, my lad, using those hideous playstation machines lowers your intelligence, and, like buying a red sportscar or having an affair with a 22 year old in your office, is the sign of a midlife crisis. A sad, disturbing attempt to recapture youth that everyone else is snickering about behind your back(and, while not as expensive as either of the other two, it is also nowhere near as much fun, either). Now, Bauhaus, how sad that Berli had to be the one to tell us this. You should be reaching out to the rest of us for help yourself, instead of forcing him to do an intervention on you. Wake up, lad, and take a hard look before you become the laugingstock of more than just the Peng Challenge Thread. Because they are laughing, Bauhaus.

Well, been busy, away for a few days. Just got caught up. Everyone playing nicely together? Yes? That's lovely. Here, I saw a post by Meeks, I'm sorry I wasn't around. I miss Meeks, I truly do. I hope he returns to us soon. Merry Christmas Elijah. Mensch has done his best to keep lunatic drivel alive, but it just doesn't have the same bite. Hiram, I'm sorry the thing didn't work out with Audrey. A nice young man like you, I thought that if you got a little...kitty cat, it might make all the difference in the world. You didn't try singing your own compositions to her, did you? Buy a dog, Hiram. Real men own dogs. Doesn't everyone just love this new megalomania thing from Lorak? I know I do. And him arguing with Berli, as well. It's brilliant, truly. And, as we head into the Holiday season and on to a new year, let us never forget one of the tenents of the Peng Challenge Thread: We against all others. No one comes in here, with or without a warrant, for one of our own.

My apologies to all for our recent dificulties with Mensch. We have been assiduously applying the Brick, but it's like trying to fine-tune a television set with a blindfold on. Each whack just seems to send his madness off in a new direction. Currently we are doing a 'mapping' project in an attempt to determine which zone of Mensch's brain is responsible for what sort of drivel. This involves striking him sharply in different places, then recording the gibberish and behaviours. So far no place he's been hit has resulted in anything like what most of us might regard as 'normal' behaviour. It may well be there is no such place in Mensch's neural structure. We've also discovered that Mensch's primary confidante, who he's spent hours discussing his mental deterioration with, is 'Frieda', the neighbours dachshund. We are currently working with a 'pet aura reader' to decipher Frieda's knowledge of Mensch. Now, that may sound like flaky idiocy, but consider that the alternative is what Mensch has been posting of late, and 'pet aura reading' doesn't sound that bizarre. What we've gotten so far is that Frieda would prefer being used for medical experimentation to having Mensch speak to her anymore, when asked about him, the first strong impression received from her is 'distemper alert', and that if the pills intended for Mensch hadn't sapped her will, she would have already emigrated to Argentina to escape him. ------------------ Tremble, tyrants and you perfidious opprobrium of all the parties, Tremblez! your parricidal projects finally will receive their prices!

For one thing, several people have tried discussing mortars with you (Los's post springs to the fore). You've ignored them and continued to say you want things to be done differently, according to a perception of mortar use that isn't particularly accurate. People have also pointed out that there are extremely good reasons why indirect fire will not function well in the game, because of game engine mechanics. Again, you've ignored this point and continued to argue that things should be changed. This also ignores the fact that the game is completed. The change you propose would involve a reworking far beyond patching or tweaking. Finally, this issue has been discussed many, many times before, at great length, and very intelligently. You might wish to read some of those threads, rather than continuing to post that you want things to be changed that are simply not going to be changed. If you have received some brusque responses here, you might consider that your own posts have largely ignored or dismissed the responses made to you, so to some extent you're reaping what you've sown. ------------------ Tremble, tyrants and you perfidious opprobrium of all the parties, Tremblez! your parricidal projects finally will receive their prices!
