Great news Peter!

There are over 213,920 (okay well a third of them are the Peng™ thread ) posts on the CM forums. And that's not the first BBS they had either. Something has kept all those people involved. The game is addictive, you'll never turn back. By the way, it is not available from stores or outlets. Only BTS. If you wonder why go to their site and read the BTS manifesto which will tell you alot about why this game is so good. Welcome

Ya know it's sad, just sad at what the nether realms have fallen to. I mean, here's Berli trying to hold on to the tawdry remenants of a long faded past that he is actually seeking the souls of the pools inhabitants? I mean think on it, is this a Kmart blue light special or what? Would any self respecting demonic spawn of Hades really want Cradfaced's or Stumpthegerbilfacedboy's or (shudder) Ikandoofus's soul? Pathetic. The son of the Prince of Darkness has turned into a 42nd street wino, pan-handling the passerbys. "Hey buddy, ya want a soul? Used only once by some guy who fancied himself a Celtic bard? check it out." Oh BTW Spawnette of Dusk, I sent it on Tues. or Weds, last...learn how to use "Get message" willya! So I guess I'll just have to send it again and this time try to stop impaling the ice cream cone on your forehead. ------------------ If frogs had uzi's, snakes woudn't mess with them so much. - Hiram [This message has been edited by jd (edited 03-02-2001).]

Well Chuppie's been getting out and doing a bit of socializing I see....... CHUPACABRA STRIKES AGAIN IN CHILE Chupacabras struck again last week at two locked henhouses in Lebu Alto, a farm village on the outskirts of the city of Concepcion, which is 300 kilometers (180 miles) south of Santiago de Chile, the national capital. According to the Chilean newspaper Diario El Sur, "The attacks occurred in two different locations, and in both, witnesses claim having seen a beast with similar characteristics. The attacks on the henhouses in the Lebu commune by an unknown being bolsters the existence of the mythic 'Chupacabras' in the area, more specifically in the province of Arauco." "In the early morning hours yesterday (Saturday, May 13, 2000) in the Lebu Alto section, two families claimed to have been victims of strange events which caused the deaths of 24 hens." "The event, confirmed by the Lebu Carabineros (Chile's national police--J.T.) took place at 4 a.m. on Saturday morning.when an unidentified resident heard a noise in her henhouse. Getting out of bed and going outside, she found that her dogs were calm--even fearful-- despite the fact that something was going on in the henhouse. As she approached the gate, she told police, she managed to see a rounded figure jump away from the chicken coop and go around the base of a nearby hill," the Cerro La Cruz. "Upon entering the henhouse, the witness confirmed that 17 of her 19 hens were dead with visible signs of tearing." "Shortly afterward, the chicken coop of a neighboring farm was also attacked, and another resident gave a similar account. At 8 a.m., the Carabineros were notified of these events. Police elements reported to the scene and verified the animals' deaths. The carcasses were collected and sent to Concepcion for further analysis." In its May 15, 2000 edition, Cronica, the other newspaper of Concepcion, made the claim that three Chupacabras had been captured by the Chilean army near a local copper mine and turned over to the custody of agents of the USA's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Cronica reported, "Radio Padahuel and (TV) Channel 13 transmitted news reports indicating that a family of strange creatures--possible 'Chupacabras'--had been found by military personnel in the vicinity of the Radomiro Tomic (copper) mine within the Second Region." "According to information provided by Radio Pudahuel, it was a female, a male and a cub--a story which has the ring of The X-Files around it--and were delivered to agents of the USA's FBI agency which arrived at Calama from Santiago (where the USA federal police have an office in their embassy) The creatures quietly would have been taken to the USA" "No further mention of the event was made, but police sources told Cronica that the capture of the specimens was real and that everything had transpired as was originally told" on Radio Pudahuel.

WussyLizard git, if your sever didn't bounce messages, maybe you'd have the turns earlier...... ...and in other news, the investigating committee into the mysterious "alleged victory" of IKanpander deepens as it has been revealed by sources close to the investigation that the aforementioned "uselsss wank" has failed, in response to the special prosecutor, Jake "the snake" Lawyer's subpoena, to turn over to the committee crucial evidence. Sources mention that the "so-called" AAR is vital for the committee to peruse as it will yield vital clues as to the forces Mr. 'pander had at his disposal in the recently concluded game. An investigator close to the investigation said,"everyone knows it is standard practice to return the AAR's. What's he hiding?" Mr Iskdoofus was unavailable for comment. Consideration is being given to file a writ of mandamus and seek an injunction before the circuit court, the Hon. Judge Lorak, presiding, to decertify, or hold in abeyance, the victory until the investigatory committee ompletes it's work. ------------------ If frogs had uzi's, snakes woudn't mess with them so much. - Hiram

Pale you ignorant slut. You pusillanimous pile of putrid pus. Obviously you have not got a clue, ya dim noggin, what the pool is or why it exists. Go to http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/016566.html and read the links there and maybe (although I doubt it since you don't seem to have enough cojones to make a chicken take notice) you will get the vaguest glimmer of why you aren't worth spitting on.....go away, and do something more entertaining like swallowing your tongue.

*spin mode on* Ahem, is this on? Attention, please. We wish to announce that the seminal game with Iskandoofus has been completed. Since he was new to the pool I took it upon myself to welcome him and let him feel he is a valued and able member. Thus, I had to let him win or we'd be stuck with WM and STR 's bickering. Plus it was in the fog, uphill, was trying out new defenses, he's a gamey bastard.... whatever. To save him from further heartache and to avoid his further embarrassment I surrendered voluntarily even though I am sure that if the game had been completed the results would have been a clear cut win for me. This way his self esteem is bolstered. I had a company and 2 tanks. IIRC he had 4 tank/td's plus armored cars, arty and at LEAST a company or more of troops. An investigation of initial points may have to launched as to whether this was a "fair" setup or a "setup" since Mister Isk sent the file, sight unknown. Oh did I say fog? Anyway, I didn't want to steal the boys thunder. He is so proud and thinks he has accomplished something. You, my opponents out there, know how hollow a victory over me is anyway. So when he comes by, boasting of his feat, give him a "huzzah" and "well done, lad" and let him bask in what pitiful accomplishments he does manage. A little lesson in that it is not in the actual winning but in the spin that the 'pool revolves. ------------------ If frogs had uzi's, snakes woudn't mess with them so much. - Hiram [This message has been edited by jd (edited 03-01-2001).]

Hmmmmmm Shopping trip = > $100+ New CD from BTS = $45 + shipping No brainer [This message has been edited by jd (edited 03-01-2001).]

Choke alot and die™ I hate when reality intrudes, course I can sublimate and punish Meeks. Done it before, will do it again. Meeks problem is that I do not have massive amounts of armor so my abilities are protected. BTW Chris/1 maybe we should let you try the Jerry side and see how you do? Hmmmmmmmm? [This message has been edited by jd (edited 02-28-2001).]

We see many new terrain mods coming forth, but many of them are the subdued or darker textures. However, some/many of us for either CPU or preference do not use them. There was an interesting marsh bmp the other day but when I tried it it looked putrid in the "regular" color enviroment It would be a nice thing, if possible if you consider doing 2 versions, subdued and regular. I do not know if this creates alot more work or not, but "for the rest of us" of allows us to use your work as well. Thanks for all of your work That little old Modslut™ jd

For interest, Portland is 60 miles from Mt Hood, a dormant volcano. Mt St Helens which blew in 1983 is aboout 60 miles north. Mt Adams at 12000 ft is another volcano I'd estimate at about 70 miles NE of Portland and Mt Rainier 14000 ft volcano is about 100 miles north. Get the picture I was in Spokane, Wn when St Helens came and visited (the winds were Westerly so ash went east), left about half inch of ash (shades of Pompeii..sky turned pitch black, street lights came on and the ash continued to drif down like snow. ------------------ If frogs had uzi's, snakes woudn't mess with them so much. - Hiram

Daveym Just a thought....noticed that you were in Washington DC, there are some others around here froom there....perhaps one or two of them might stand ya to a hotseat game or two, or too really depress ya to see what you are missing for a beer or four?
