Smiley posting Pillock! Read THIS and mend your foolish ways.

The CessPool page has just exceeded its data transfer allocation. Life is good.

I would not presume to argue with one who once said: "I will accept the next ten challenges made to me" and offered NO requirements at all. I only ask that you, Berli accept that my intentions are most foul in this matter. You will not be disappointed in the end.

Well actually yes, I could have sent you a setup the moment you arrived. If you want to play in the 'Pool though, you must be able to stand the stench. Go ahead now, take the putrid air deeply into your lungs . . . It's okay if you lose your lunch . . . Breath deeply . . . Still want a game? Alrighty then. I'll say this much in your favor: You played that game straight through even though you were losing (unlike some of the cowardly twits around here). Setup sent.

{begins to brood and weep over this sorry situation} Woe is me.

Milady, you place me in a pickle here, for I am under strict orders to honor the Ladies of the 'Pool, and would do so in any event. I must, however, point out the error of your claim. Simply put: Bards never lie. If you were to read again the posts of the Übergnome regarding this matter, you would most certainly realize that you are sorely mistaken.

Poor old Joe. Poor, poor Joe. Poor, old, forgetful Joe. Since your memory is so bad, I'll help you out: Seanachai was extremely careful about getting all the paperwork in order and checked everything out with the then truant Justicar, who had been off pouting on another board. You do remember who the Justicar is don't you, Joe? Good! Well, this silly fellow, the Justicar tried like the dickens to prevent me from becoming a Squire, but came around eventually after a soundly written taunt. Now, if you wish to speak of failed Squires: What the %$#@! happened to Hanns???

{stands at castle gate, smugly picking his teeth} That'll show the little pip-squeak! ...what's this? He's back: It's SSN (Scum Sucking Newbie). That'd be your title, bucko! I am a Squarehead! No no no, scratch that. I am a... umm.. err.. JUST LOOK AT MY PROFILE, YOU NINNY!!! Now, about that game. I've played you once already. Have you forgotten? It was last July. If you'll be so kind as to post the result here, I'll gladly send you a setup. HOP TO IT!!!

Dear Yeknodathon, I seem to have misjudged you. Donkeys are reputed to be intelligent by four-legged standards. What went wrong in your case? Our game is a Meeting Engagement. If you want any chance at a win, you must at least attempt to capture the flags. Instead you have been skulking about for over a dozen turns near your setup area. Since you refuse to come out and fight, my gamey paras are more than willing to take the fight to your location. You have these choices: 59- Fight the good fight. Yek- Skulk around like you have been doing. noda- Withdraw all your forces off-map. thon- Surrender. Appendectomy- Failure to return files is not an option. Have a wonderful day, Sledge

Shall I smudge my sword by mauling this minnow? Nah... a swift kick is easier. Look here, kiddo; this is not the wannabe challenge thread, this is the <big>Peng Challenge Thread</big>. We have rules and standards. Follow them or SOD OFF. [edited because it made me vomit too] [ February 28, 2002, 12:04 PM: Message edited by: Sledge59 ]

BAH! I was having such fun making you pay dearly for every inch of that scary little forest. I'm liking Berli's design more and more as you continue to squirm.

Ah! A questioning glance... and from a Lady too!!! Ahem. It's quite simple really. You get one post per press of the 'add reply' button. {bows} Happy to be of service, M'Lady. {extends bow further, falling into a heap}

All right already! Can’t a lazy squire ever get any sleep around here? Okay, okay… I’ll take care of this riff-raff for you. {Draws rusty, broken sword from soiled scabbard and slowly advances} Where are they? I’LL MAKE MINCEMEAT OUT OF YOU VARMINTS! {Trips over own foot} Look there… I’ve skinned my knee. Some puny SSN will PAY for this! Hey you! Private Wanker. You’ve paraded your ignorance by obtusely posting on the MBT and by failing to acknowledge the main purpose of the place. What exactly are you doing here if you don’t want a game? Do you want to know the Donkey? That might have been arranged, but now it appears that even he doesn’t like you. If you DO want a game, you must PAY ATTENTION and reread the rules, then post like you have an inkling of what they mean, idjit. [ February 25, 2002, 01:31 AM: Message edited by: Sledge59 ]

Good show, Mace... or is it blue boy? [ February 23, 2002, 09:07 PM: Message edited by: Sledge59 ]

Bury him up to the neck & pour honey on his head before releasing the army ants.

...nose, and then refried to a crackly...

Lawyer, If you want to play around with CMMOS, just back up your bitmap folder. If you have a burner, put it on a CDRW disk. Hard drives do fail occasionally!

Absolutely! Even if you go for maximum historical accuracy, the game is still an abstraction; it's all gamey. In spite of this, CM is on the cutting edge of accuracy and realism.

Yes. Good AI scenarios are always fun to play. Even a well balanced QB setup with hefty bonuses for the AI is worthwhile.

Ya think?</font>

Hello there Boohoo. You seem to have your tongue firmly planted in the cheek. Here's a question for you: If a grognard farts in the forest will anyone care? I'm a bit of a mathematical midget, but it would seem that 2 pickup points would give 2 possible points of origin. GPS apparently needs 3 points for an accurate result. The same is true for earthquake epicenter calculations. What gives?

Aww hell, Seanachai. Somebody's got to play the fool around here. We all take a turn at it some time or another... like that fellow who started the "Nice and Courteous Peng Challenge Thread". Remember him? Anyhow, thanks fer yer comments. I'd hate for Joe to keep calling me a latch key squire. I'll put on a funny nose and glasses and go visit Mr BigMistake now.

We came We saw We beat each other to a pulp We didn't win or lose... We barely played the game Final score: CM I had it sooo easy player 39 Sledge Against tremendous odds 59 40 DRAW 'Twas a nasty little scenario. We had no Tigers, just some wimpy Mark IV's. There were no rangefinding microphones on our SMG's. We couldn't see anything in the fog until those over-armed punks fired. It wasn't easy to challenge that flag in the alloted time, but it got done.

Just ironing out the ironies for you pal. Just ironing out the ironies.

Hey Croda, I'm playing him to. He's gone completely over the edge this time with an utterly gamey killer-bee swarm attack on the only weak portion of my brilliant defense. It doesn't matter that the computer picked his stuff, he must have voodoo dolls of us all. Let's go TP his house... That'll show him not to mess with us!
