Slapdragon Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 My gawd, I cannot believe it. Here I am enjoying the debate by various Pengers over my entry, when here comes a poltroon (sorry Paw-Boom, I know that is what I usually call you) British virgin with a 7th grade education (sorry, those three descriptives are synonyms but I am rushed to type this before I take my lie detector test) sticking his 4 post self into the mutha beautiful thread. And I think, I thought these guys had standards. Well strike that, I knew the thread did not have standards, Shaw is a member, but I thought there was a health code or somefink that was maintained here, cause I never saw Lewis about. Now I say to myself, if this guy gets in, so will every Finn and Aussie with a 120 word vocabulary and a book on World War Two, followed by a flood of Frenchmen (a word that is full of contrast) and finally ending by oblivion. Now, knowing you have no standards, I will show some of the honor of nobles that my clan is famed for, demonstrated by my great great great great uncle's final words when shot by his own troops in the battle of the wilderness, which I cannot recall right now but are inscribed on some family ornament or other in my father's den. I will not enter as a Serf of course, but I will accept Squireness, and I will not demand a certian knight, but will accept the choice of the gentled-man threaders. Realizing that during the day I will be mild mannered Squire Steve, but by night I put on my wife's yoga tights and sail out into the main thread as Slapdragon, slayer of idiots. There, that was quite a nice speach. Much nicer than that other thread crasher and his Idiotic Drivel . . . . . . . Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

And what is that big ugly hiding behind the roadblock? (No, I know it isn't MrSpkr's sister). No time for a longer post. I spent too much time reading long-winded posts of dubious merit.

Joe <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Joe, you're overlooking one vital factor: How does this affect me? I know you're old and slow and things of that nature, but try to remember that the key issue here is whether or not I get a Squire, something I heartily sort of think would be kind of okay sometimes. Slappy (may I call you Frank?) has shown some moxie, some pepsi, and indeed even some dropsy when dealing with the tripe smokers of the "my millimeter's bigger than your millimeter" threads. Sure it's easy to pick on the small-brained and large-egoed, and sure Frank is good at that, and sure we don't care, but again, thinking of it in terms of my personal needs, I say he will be fine in here, because most importantly of all, he can be ignored just as easily as any other SSN. We now return you to your originally-scheduled program, already in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it appears those standards are slipping, I mean, after all, looks like they are about to make you a Squire no less, and not an inch of grovelling coming from your way........ I agree with Joe Shaw on this one, has the verbose Knightttttty Sir Pemble gone soft or what? After the truly magnificent attempt to waylay PL from ever becoming a squire, (he suffered big time) to the extent, you even had me feeling sorry for the guy, I mean.... come on, wakey wakey you lot, Slapdragon is laughing at you. Yep, he is, he is sitting back there thinking to himself, "Boy, that sure was easy, a few long winded posts, a little bit of mud slinging here and there and I'm in. And now, like Joe points out, the guy is even making demands. I say make him weep, make him crawl on his hands and knees just like PL did before he becomes a squire, make him WANT to become a squire so much that he might (with any luck) start wearing his wifes Yoga Tights over his head, and not just at night either. BAH nothing but a SSN high on his own saliva....... yep......the old way was the best way...... Long live the Peng Thread, Mother of all Threads. Failing that, Cya all in Hell.

Joe Shaw Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 Okay gang, the Justicariate of the Peng Challenge Thread is going to step in here and HOPEFULLY you clowns will start the new thread properly. 1. ONLY Knights ... no damned Squires or SSNs may submit thread titles. 2. Include PENG and CHALLENGE in the title. 3. Post some GOOD rules, we're getting tired of having these SSNs wander in without guidance. I would propose a new thread myself but I believe in allowing others to learn by doing.

MrSpkr Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 And now for something completely different-- UPDATES! Berli and I are struggling over a treelined roadside inn (sort of a pre-revolutionary Ramada without all the red trim) for no apparent reason. I rush my Allied/American forces forward, he mows them down. He moves his gamey Fallschirmjagermeisters laterally, and I drop artillery on them. All in all, a bloody little stalemate. Lawyer apparently got some special favors at the last sidebar. His entire right flank, save a few tired, ragged GI's, blew up (unfortunately, not all at once, which would have been prettier, but blown up in any event). To compensate, he has had the audacity to blow up all my forces on MY right flank. I think a mistrial may be in order. Joe Shaw apparently never told his troops about the dangers of playing with matches. In our bomb-em-all-and-let-God-sort-it-out-fest, he has managed to set fire to two different buildings he occupies. He is also losing ground to my FRENCH untertruppen. He claims that he fights in the style of Jackson at Chancellorsville -- I guess that means he runs around a lot, then dies in the end. Marlow owes me a turn. We are in the end game phase, and I am demonstrating to the pathetic remnants of his British soldiers the clear superiority of German tactics -- along with the fun one can have with flamethrowers and fallschirmjagers. shandorf and I are playing the 'Hitdorf on the Rhine' scenario. He has over a company of veteran Ami paratroops with 105mm arty support. I have about two platoons of regular heer and some conscript sicherung, plus three Mark IV sardine cans. HE is preparing for a gamey last minute flag rush -- I have positioned my tanks to make him pay for it. Oh, for the days of CM:BB, when the game will extend if the flag changes control on the last turn. He has also refused to comment about our game or even write a single word in any of his turn files in over a month, which, I suppose, is confirmation of the old adage, every dark cloud has a silver lining. Leeeo and I continue to run around in the dark -- I think the game is almost over, though. It is an evil little scenario involving a river, swamps, a big forest, and lots of rain. He is sneaky. I am dying a lot, and can't do much to prevent his win now. Speedbump is the anti-leeo. We are playing a scenario involving lots of conscript infantry against a few brave Canucks. He is now trying to see if his men can run away from me faster than my tanks can catch up to him. I put my money on the tanks. Goanna has finally revealed his infantry purchases. Being a polite sort of chap, I have ordered my Wasps to start campfires for his men while my British soldiers advance to greet them, well, warmly. Wildman barely won our little gambit. He lost four of his five armored assets (Hellcats, I believe). Unfortunately, he outfitted one of his tanks with the ultragamey x-ray-HEAT ammunition, allowing him to fire THROUGH buildings to hit enemy tanks. Cheapo bastiche. LORAK, scribe thusly: Wildman: cheating shooting-through-walls tactical WIN MrSpkr: valiant defensive LOSS The rest of you are nothing more than cheap winos who sniff after you wipe. {edited because I forgot about my game with Elvis, who is, of course, utterly forgettable in his own right. We have just set up to playtest a scenario. We started a week ago, but, as he HATES turn numbering, and I HATE not using my PBEM organizer program (which requires numbered files), his file was been overlooked (rather like Elvis himself). I just happened to slip on his greasey banana peel of a file while taking out the trash, and thought I would mention it. Apparently, I am attacking his puny little village with half an Allied armor division. He is defending with ten grumpy old men with fishing poles and ice-picks. Should be fun.} [ 09-26-2001: Message edited by: MrSpkr ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedOrDead Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 Dim, uneducated, and unenlightened by anything approximating to a comprehensible set of rules, my amoeba-like brain does at least recognise the general concept of a challenge. The best way to make me SOD OFF (by far the best result for everybody, including me) would be to humiliate me so thoroughly upon the field of battle (verbal humiliation I am too dim to understand) that I dare not show my face ever again.
