An ethical deliemna has presented itself and pains me. An ethical problem is to a lawyer is of course akin to the proverbial wooden stake through Berli's heart, if he had one. So I shall put it to my fellow kniggits, squires and floaters to advise and counsel my course of action. To play or not, that is the question.
Seems CreepshowChuckie# has sent me a challenge and a set up. To recap, he showed up in the pool today and said <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>I haven't had the experience of a good whooping yet and I thought maybe one of you cesspoolers could give me one. I've been informed by the outside world that the really good CM players dwell in
here... So somebody send me a setup. checksix224@aol.com Hurry up! My fingers are itching!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Appropriate responses warnings and omens were cast his way along with aspersions, entrails and floatie things.His response: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>But what if it turns out that I'm the greatest CM player there ever was, and it takes me well over three years to learn that because it takes nearly that long to find a game against one of la creme de la creme? Come on. Play a game with me, and either I'll find out I'm the greatest CM player there ever was or you'll get a nice ego boost. Most likely the former.
STRONG LANGUAGE:...butt-head.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Mr. 6 then screwed up his mighty cranium and came up with <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>JD, that checkpatootee comment was too much. You really pushed me over the edge. I'm sure that you are a yellow-belly coward of the worst kind, so I must put it on the public record that my challenge is in your inbox at this moment.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> and so it is, having received a set up this evening.
The Considerations; 1) he used caps on my nick and 2) he called me "a yellow-belly coward of the worst kind" Oh that smarted. Wonder if he knew I am a lawyer so he was probably complimenting me. 3) He seems as thick as meekie's brick, rather uninspired but has a certain loathful persistence. Kind of like scabies. 4) Meeks seemed to like him, but he doesn't have him trying to dog hump his leg. 5) He avoided lawyer cliche's
We have standards and procedures, but then we let in Croda, Hiram and Marlow....
So what say the assembled multitudes. Play him or flay him?

Goanna:
I use both mac managers. the CM MacMod (boplinger's) works with open windows and cursor drop & drag. It is my initial choice to install new mods. Select drag and drop. Then skip thru to see what they look like. It is a bit faster because it does less.
The Mac CM ModManager (aikidorat's) uses folders. Fine in it's way but as a mac user from way back, dragging and dropping icons is ingrained. The MCM3 handles more advanced features. Also allows sound installation (CM MacMod doesn't) and is elegant to restore or copy out picts from the graphics.
I find I use both depending on situation and between them takes care of what is needed.
Most mods have jpg files in with them. Both managers allow previewing of the individual bmp's although CM MacMod is faster at this. Some sites, notably Kump's http://www.gkump.com/cm/ has comparisons. CMHQ has screen shots of vetted mods.
I HIGHLY reccomend Deanco's gunmetal interface mod http://mapage.cybercable.fr/deanco/ It replaces the buttons and symbols at the page bottom. Also the various flag mods for more historically accurate display, ie swastika.
Waiting on my isp to restore email. Parameter's are correct. I already talked to rune. He'll do a map. I trust you not to look, but then I am a lawyer, so better come up with my retainer to enforce my loyalty

checkpatotee indeed. No Bold italics for you . May I draw your attention to something my good friend Marlow posted that he claims I wrote, but Alzheimers and all prevents my authenticating it.
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Please read the following advice originally posted by jd long long ago in a Cesspool far far away:
...As for the general "I taunt you all, give me a game", I am afraid you ceberal cortex will be unable to handle the depth of our ennui as far as you are concerned.As Gertrude Stein observed about Oakland that there is no there, there applies equally well to you. I have fondness for youngsters such as your self, and as a simple country lawyer,let me give you some advice. Pick out a victim as a pride of lions does, concentrating on the weak, except Hiram, he doesn't count. Then wade in as a berserker, a rampage of invectitude and bilious spew that splatter the walls and on lookers. Use some interesting language. The lingua franca of the pool is transcendant in it's vitupertude, allusion and if possible alliteration. [no sing songs though]
Like a zen penitent seeking admission to the temple thru the ordeal of tangaryo, so you must be driven from the pool and we shall judge your mettle.
So in the words of another immortal, BUGGER OFF
JD, scum sucking esq.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>and as Lorak, Sage of Sages also pointed out to you from his great compassion <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Thats right you stupid tart. Being good at CM has no bearing on one's status or inclusion into the pool. You either have the ability to throw out clever insults and insane literary references... or you don't.
You... (whatever the hell a check6) have neither. You have shown no taunting ability. You have made no cleaver references to obscure books or works of art. You my friend are about as usefull as the piece of toliet paper stuck in some fat wino's arse.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Now it seems to me that the denizens of this place, in their infinite capacity took pity on your pathetic attempts to raise your noise above the surface. Look at how you repay our kindness. This then is your bane, your heartfelt taunt that rips the bowels of earth asunder and upon her shattered visage is etched the pain of the ages, and I quote <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> I'm sure that you are a yellow-belly coward of the worst kind,<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Oh my cut to the quick I am, Fain would I swoon, a touch sir, a palpable touch. I am killed [exeunt to applause] So go away son you bother me, I am not even honored you picked me, quite the opposite "Oh will not some one remove this bane for me?"

Joanna Mac user from 1985 and I believe my credentials and CV are appropriate.
Mods YES. Get both of the CM MacMod managers. They make handling the mods a snap. As for the mods, I hardly have any original textures left. Vehicles, terrain, uniforms all changed. If it has a mod available I have changed it, some several times. I use a iMac Dvd and have no slowing or CPU hit with high res, so except for grass I have high res if available.
Main decsion these days is whether to use subdued textures. They are cooler and darker. Frankly I prefer the brighter regular look. It's personal I suppose.
But load those puppies up. As we get our game going I'll be happy to run down what I have.
Cheers

Yo Grenouille Faced Boy I look forward to finishing my filleting of you poor troops. Now I figure you owe me a turn, if not or if it went into the boullibasse, let me know and I will dispatch it and you forthwith tout de suite.
Lizardbutt expect a setup per our previous arrangement. Hell if I remember the conditions so since I am a lawyer I'll cheat and screw you and send ya the bill.
And a fine Howdy Do dee to our femme fatales Kittywithclaws and the always bewitching Emma Now remember, no lace or manners, yer with the scrungiest misbegoten fools who ever crossed cyber space, it's nice to have both of you back in the neighborhood.

I call down shuning on checkpatootee until or unless he can figure out what is going on here. His feelings or sense of fairness (ha!) seem outranged. So let's ignore and shun, this means you Hiram, no more playing with stray kittens, Audrey wouldn't like it.

Sorry Babs, ya cain't get here from he. Check my info, wrong corner of the country (although used to spend August in New Hampshire in the 60's - yes i am THAT old ya punk! )
As for a set up, well that can be provided since I am always on the lookout for fresh victims (and it'll drive our lookey-loos crazy when they can't figure out how to get a game with a pool member)
Sheesh and that last batch were positively ... polite..... shudder

My heavens it must be old home week or the pool reunion. Kitty starts posting, even YK2 chimes in, and meekly the deranged reappears as well. Now if ole sean can rouse himself from the stupor he's probably drunk himself into (must be a dame, it's always a dame) it'll seem like old times. Well not really, not with the youngsters running around whining.... but as our bard would say...
Roight, who's for a bit of sing-song then?
Oh and meekslyodieo ya tuberous scab, it's time to resume your topplement. I believe you owe me a turn....or do I get to claim victory over your very "french' nature. Whining running out on a game is abhorred so I wish to dispatch you finally to the nether realms that spawned you. So give it up boyo, send the turn.

M Bates:
As noted above the new graphics 13 will overwrite what you have stored in your current one, which is where a bunch of winter stuff wound up. If you already modified it, or have the "new explosions" of some time ago, no need to exchange. Also the MacMod managers available at CMHQ also will handle transferring them. Bottom line, if you installed those more graphic explosions, nothing else to do. Otherwise use resedit or the managers to transfer the picts from one to the other

Both wrong, although loathed and despised is nice. It is sad, just sad to see a former paragon of the pool try to recapture the glorys of the past. Sort of like Kiss, Aerosmith or Ozzie Osborn all rolled into one. A bit more difficult squeezing into the old spandex eh meeksies? Shoot, these yung'uns are laughing at you boy. I remember the Meeks of old, when we wondered what the hell you were up too, but even those days days are gone.
Look over there, see Hiram? You remember him? Followed you out of the pool as if you were some Joseph Smith wannabe. Founding the new Jerusalem you were. Course only he went with you. Now he rocks in the corners with Eagle fixations and that old dead cat he keeps hanging on too, whispering Audrey? to anyone who passes.
So welcome back you old codger, be sure to put your teeth in the glass by your rocker and be prepared to regale the passers by with you woeful profundities

kerist Meeks is back. Take that frickin polar bear outside and pop a cap...failed us he did. I'd say welcome back but of course I loathe the sheer you of you. Now where were we? Oh yes I believe you were froggy glue beneath my feet ya moron.
Perhaps I should expect as much from a schiasmatic heretical lunatic as yourself. May I remind the newer poolettes that Herr mensch was only keeping the pool title of crazy warm for Meek hamsters. Well, Meeks old sod, are we up to it? Nah , who cares, better to live out our Tennesse Williams deleriction and embrace our faded glory (Stella!!) like that poor wanker Hiram and his cat, no doubt up on the roof as we speak.

Re: unauthorized fraternization with non cesspudlians
Sirs:
It has been brought to my attention that of late there has been some inappropriate and mistaken interaction with certain unnamed vistors to our little word. Please be advised that there are procedures and protocols to be followed. Might I suggest that a better course of action might be to simply not respond to those who may appear from time to time but are unwilling to seek entrance as a postulant to our coterie?
So at the risk of stating the obvious, please take your little interactions elsewhere. jsffffffffff has shared his experience. We may take it as we will. MB has followed (that's a mark against jsf, mind you) let's not make him feel welcome. He didn't exactly dazzle the last time he intruded.So please ignore such tripe and stop getting the rugs dirty from the mess "out there". Jsffffffff, you got what you deserved. Pick you associates more carefully, like us fer instance! Man you are screwed either way!!!!!!!!!

On other fronts....
The ritual welcoming scourging and flagellation (followed by entombment) has been applied to our dear Egyptian colleague, nincompoop Mr. Anubis has learned that the tannis leaves he sought do not grow well in the colder climes of northern Europe. He further learned that he can't manage armor worth squat, that a Stuart beats a lynx but that is about it. Lets put it this way, his crews managed to cause more damage and vexation than his generalship. Unfortunetly, because of said vexacious behavior, certain unavoidable war crimes were committed. War is hell. So Lorak Scribe of the pool, please inscibe:
jd-win
ninjis-loss
As to our southern cousins, I am in the process of hunting down the broken and scattered units that Macedintheface has. I beleive he has run through about 50 Chaffee's and my KT supply is depleted as well. However, the victory conditions have been acheieved so only minor partisan activity is possible. I suppose that we could see the "gamey tactic" of 45 bailed crews massing for a banzai charge of a KT parked on the Victory Location. Could be interesting. Spudy is giving better game, but he has rushed infantry into a number of locations that house my rifle squads, only to suffer from combined fire. Brave but futile. A true general, of WWI.
Sasquatch hasn't been seen in a few days, after having my Hetzer of death resurrected and shooting up his rear areas. His attack seems to be losing momentun. A recent intercept once decoded reveals I didn't realize you had so many men over there. Sean, the bodies piling up in front of my guns should be a clue, old bean.
As to others, well either it's too early, I don't care or my Alzheimer's has kicked in.

THE BLOODY PENG CHALLENGE THREAD: ESCAPE FROM DOWNUNDER
in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
Posted
To my dear Chuckletpatootee:
Sir, and I use the term loosely. As you may know if you are following the postings of this board, I am having a bit of indecision about accepting your challenge. Now I do not mind playing newcomers to the Mutha Beautiful thread. I played Croda and Hiram and Marlow when they first showed up. Croda of course had a mean and spiteful streak, the give no quarter and spit in the cats eye type of swagger. Of course he couldn't play worth a damn but there was an underlying viciousness that warmed my heart. Hiram had a sweetness and politeness and doggedness that neverfailed to gladden our surroundings. Kind of like Norman Bates. There is a beautiful inner psychotic Hiram, just waiting to be let out. (frankly I think he is probably one of the most depraved here.) Marlow approached with a nice set literary piece, a clever set of bon mots that harkened to echo his name and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Each in their way caught my eye (sit down Bauhaus) and they have, as has everyone established distinct persona here in our little world. Is it fair? No. Is it friendly? No. Is it incestuous and depraved? Most assuredly and we like it like that.
Now you show up and demand a game, then go challenge me with "you're a yellow bellied sapsucker" Since you are new you may not realize that professionally I am a lawyer (that's why my grammar, spelling, typing and syntax are screwed because that's the job for my secretary) So perhaps you can appreciate why your insult leaves me singularly unmoved. Both Lorak, I and others have suggested that at least some semblance of forms be followed.
There is another side that is rarely spoken of. You see, in our way we are somewhat (or totally) outcasts on the larger board. Oh we venture out and occasionally have to chase down an escapee, but this pool, this cess, is generally home. You have been here for all of a day. To enter the pool means to stay. As has been mentioned, while cm constitutes a common bond, playing games is not all there is to pool membership. There is a fraternite to pool life. The willingness to taunt in the thread, to share victory and defeat, and the obvious cheating by the people beating me, with the others. There is a commitment in other words that goes with being here. How do we know that after the orgiastic excitement and paroxysm of the game, that you will not respect us in the morning and steal off like a thief in the night.
So I am looking for that commitment and a certain willingness to swagger in and make a mark. Who is check6, other than a reference to watching out for PeterSheepshagger or Macey (actually a wise practice we all do)?
I have selected my units and have renumbered the file. It is ready to go. But I do feel a little put out as I had earlier mentioned that the number of games I have going is getting up there. So here's the deal my little chucklet. I'll play you BUT first there are some conditions.
You need to decide if you are in it for the long hall. I enjoy the people here (not really actually I loathe them). I also do not want you to be a one time chuckie either. So I want to see you around a bit. Insult a few others, enter into the spirit or fumes, whatever. Do a little research on who we are and where we came from. Then I'd like to see one mother frickin post that tears me a new one. Now not of the crude, base or "your mother wears combat boots" variety. Literary references and innuendo get you extra style points. words and how we use them matter. Construction of a roman a clef ditty, or just clever slinging of words will impress.
You do that, you'll get your game in the near future. If you feel it is too onerous or why should you have to comply, well that'll tell me your heart wasn't in it and you are some little flash in the pan punk looking to be able to tell his steady girlfriend of 15 yrs (who you finally got enough nerve to hold her hand lst week) say Gee I splashed in the cesspool, aren't i kewl. In a word a mere poseur and dabbler. Do that and we will welcome you, fail and you weren't worth meeks' drool.
Time will tell
