Joseph Porta Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Eh...Just wondered, can anyone give me a short resume of the 'Peng - public challenge' thread ? Something that gathers 2600+ posts has got to be interesting... I am NOT going to read through all of them though !! How did this start ? Who's winning ?

BFCElvis Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Joey, Your best bet is to start on the last page of the thread and keep going back pages from there. It won't take you too long to figure out whats going on. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Aitken Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 I can't take the time to read through Speedy's post, so can someone tell me what it's all about? Thanks for your help.

Joseph Porta Posted October 4, 2000 Author Share Posted October 4, 2000 David - It is a thread asking what goes on in another thread. If you like, I can open another thread to discuss this thread about the other thread, but I fear this might get confusing Maybe if we write bigger letters you can read through the entire post ?

PawBroon Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Oy Scottish Cartoonist! The merry tone of your post was lost on those one... If someone could post a thread about that particular point. Then maybe it could be locked since some perverts are thrieving on reading those. Now D, get back to your graph pad and cook us them funnies. ------------------ Will you trade your Peng for a box of Seanachai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 Wow, someone who actually sounds vaguely interested in what I do. Maybe I won't kill myself after all. Since this is a pointless thread, I'll take the opportunity to point out that everybody should buy Radiohead's latest record immediately.

Guest Pillar Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 I'm telling you, soon we'll have an entire division of labour revolving around the Peng thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorak Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 We all ready have a division of labor...sort of. Peng...Well.. His job is being Peng, and fighting off the smiley hordes that try to bring a ray of light into our darkened dwelling. Seanachai... Hum, I guess his job is to try to belong to every country at once, and keep us enthralled by his story telling. (Keeps us occupied and out of the forum proper) Hamster/Meeks...I really have no idea of his purpose. Basically he acts as a target when we get together and need to lash out and hit someone with a brick. Berli... Master of darkness and all things evil (if you have ever had the misfortune of playing on one of his maps you truly know hell). Mark IV... His job is to actually bring a little knowledge into the pool. You can sometimes see him taking part in threads that are actually useful. Germanboy...He seems to be the best player in the pool, (not that that says anything). Also acts as an axis spy in England. David Aitkin... While as far as I know not actually playing anyone in the pool... He does provide comic relief in pictures. Joe Shaw... Psychological warfare captain, Mormon wives. nuff said. Moriarty... other than a cool name, a nice fellow who PBEM's giving others a chance to win. Elvis... Has seen Peng in real life. nuff said Pawbroon... everyone's club needs a French man to make fun of. Chupacabra.. Resident goat sucker Goanna/Joanna...jury still out on this one. Bauhaus...Same as above, I believe they PBEM to see who gets the skirt this week. Hakko Ichiu... hamster x. Heads up our rodent genetics research lab. GI Tom... The Git is kind of quite, but speaks volumes on the field of battle. jdmorse...Seems to know a bit about law. So we keep him in there as our public service. And Me Lorak... I'm just an idiot in search of a village. Seem to double as a scribe, by sorting through the garbage err. Rhetorical wit of the thread, and tallying wins, loses, games in progress ect. Special thanks to Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh of Altan. For showing us that even in the darkest reaches of this pool there is still beauty in this world. Lastly but well... least. Our misbegotten children. The Squires who joust for our amusement. They're only goal in life to become one of us. So the general public too can loathe them. Thank you for your time.

Lorak Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 question. Feel free to flame. Why does that thread bother people so much? Do people believe we don't take CM seriously enough? Considering a lot of us have been playing CM about a year now, Are active in the CMMC, Hell even two of the writers for the CMMC/CPX newsletter are in our thread. I can't see this argument. All of us there are very serious about CM. What is wrong with us thinking that CM should be fun too? When you consider the number of games that come out of there, we have also saved the board about 100 "looking for PBEM" threads also. I just don't understand the loathing people have for us, when all it is, is one thread listed out of about 10,000 that you don't even have to click on. Really I'm looking for an honest answer. Why do people think we are so bad?

Seriously, the 'Pool is for CM PBEM junkies through and through. We take our games seriously, whip 'em up with some rhetoric, and laugh about whatever we can. Most of us got our $50 worth out of this sucker before the game was even released, and we can hardly believe the luck, that we don't have to keep dropping quarters to have this much fun. Every so often some cop tries to scatter the kids pitching pennies behind the gas station (during school hours, no less), but we just form back up and start more games. So as we say in the Cesspool... ...nah, fuggedaboutit. just for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to block a thread I don't want to see anymore?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well Wincey, you could always burn your eyes out with a hot poker. If that is too dramatic, you could try looking away quickly if you think the thread might appear. A rather haphazard approach would be to not click on the thread. Of course, these are not the only avenues of self-censorship available to you. Try browsing the forum with your monitor turned off. Very effective. OberGrupenStompinFeuhrer PS: Lorak, I think the Peng thread totally sucks because anyone who contributes to a thread over 2300 posts long is probably enjoying themselves - and most likely without permission or in an approved manner. How can you possibly be serious about CM when you are so obviously enjoying yourself? That's one of those thingies, you know, a moronic-ox or somefink.

Member B: No, YOU'RE lame and I can kick YOUR ass. Now, repeat 1300 times <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well, perhaps shorn of the literary references to everything from popular fiction, to norse sagas, to Dumas; stripped of the merry name-calling and gratuitous insults, taunts, ripostes, and humorous caricatures; and finally, ignoring the panáche and élan of the posters who represent a sometimes vulgar, sometimes posing, but always wonderfully receptive gang of enthusiasts who've built a community of PBEMers, I guess that might be an otherwise pointless characterization of the Thread. The Cliff Notes version rarely touches on anything truly significant about a thing, but does try to make it accessible to those who want to get on reading People magazine and watching Big Brother. ------------------ After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared.

Its jealousy, pure n simple, you want to come play with the big boys, but are afraid of what we might say to you, what personal observations we may make of you and what fun we may make of those funny little things you do with yourself when you thinks theres no-one looking..... Entering the cesspool is a risky business young quince, the odds are against you but the rewards are great, well no, not really but anyway...oh fuggit...I'm bored with you, just go do what OGSF says.

Hiram Sedai Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 The people who post in the Peng thread are not "bad" people. I have sat at their feet and listened to many many tales of their battles. I have cleaned their armor, sharpened their swords, and have mucked out their stables. They don't tip me or even say nice things to me, but they don't kick me. (much) One day, I hope to grow up and be just like them. "I may look like this now, but I'm drinking milk."
