Lars Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Iskander, I was wondering where you been. Still drinking the Thunderbird? I’d stick around to chat but the liquor store is about to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpkr Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Due to the demands of Real Life (pat. pending), turns will be very slow in forthcoming. If that frustrates you, then my Monday will have turned out a little better than I thought it would. Later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeo Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Let it be known that the force of myself, represnting all things that could be mistaken for good, have put the Sspank-down on he who is unworhty of consideration. Lorak, though lost in the wilderness you appear to be, scribe in the tome of destiny: Leeo: Supercalifragilistic, glorious and inevitable WIN. MrSpkr: expected and easily achieved LOSER. Ok, ok, I had a minor victory. A lot of river crossing, and sneaking, and killing of he who neglected to survey the map prior to set-up. He deserved to lose, and I'm glad to give it to him (now you can have at him, bahaus, but I'm afraid you get sloppy seconds this time 'round). I had hoped he'd have the cajones to post his humiliating loss himself, but, whatever. Rack it up!

Seanachai Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Ah, yes, caught up again. Caught up again, that is, in the glory that is the Peng Challenge Thread. Now, a few things need tidying up. Berli has already taken care of one, by, quite rightly, Knighting Foobar and Roborat. For one thing, and it bears repeating, although Berli has previously posted it, Capt. Foobar should, by many measures, be a Seniour Knight of the Pool. He showed up here in the very earliest pages of the very first incarnation of the Thread, and was only missed for Seniour Knight status because he was so sporadically apparent. Still, this Old One is happy to see those most patient and half-witted of Squires finally Knighted. On another point, this whole 'Ronin Squire' thing. While I very much appreciate the historical reference, and find it quite amusing on one level, yet we should acknowledge that the 'Ronin' Samurai occured mainly during times of interregnum, and such has not come to the Peng Challenge Thread. Therefore, like someone who's set out unsecured garbage cans and caused the neighbours to complain about the depredations of 'Ronin Raccoons', I feel I must take this Slapdragon situation in hand. Slapdragon, you are Squire to myself. While a Forum poster of acknowledged standing, you're happy time of anarchy is at an end. You will not have the luxury of answering to a benign mentor, like Shaw, but will have to satisfy me. Oh, I know what you are thinking: Seanachai has taken as Squire's the nice, the useless, and the utterly foolish. Well, lad, they were all newbies, now weren't they? And you, Slapdragon, are no true newbie, now are you? Toe the line, lad, for you will be held to the code of proper behaviour. No Squire has ever been renounced by a Knight of the Cesspool before. Don't make us start. First off, you will show the Justicar (useless, annoying bastard that he is, but a useless, annoying bastard above your station) the proper respect. You will ask him to review your elevation to Squire under the guidance of Seanachai, and say either yea or nay. You will do it with a certain respect, although the odd bit of abuse is not inappropriate, as long as you remember that you are scum. Now, I know that a proud Grognard like Slapdragon might find this sort of treatment hard to stomach. I can only say that if I layed every insult, every slight, and every moment of humiliation that I've received while posting on the Forum end to end, they wouldn't merely reach from me to himself, but right up his arse, as well. To appraise your's and Shaw's situation: One should not be envious of someone who has prospered by unjust deeds. Nor should he disdain someone who has fallen while adhering to the path of righteousness. -Imagawa Sadayo (1325-1420) Ideals of the Samurai Oh, and I want to know if Dalem is actually inhabiting a specific neighbourhood here in town, or staying at the Workhouse in Plymouth while completing his Rehab.

Roborat Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Well, isn't that just bloody perfect, We (me and the Capt F) finally finish the longest, vilest, and generally dumbest squire challenge in history, quite properly ending in a draw, mostly because neither of us had any units left. And what happens, do I get to bask in the approval and kudos of my peers... well, at least you bastards,... but nooooo!, all this happens when I am away for the weekend, blowing things up for real, and I miss all the fun. Isn't that just the perfect cap for the whole futile exercise. Although I do gratefully accept the honour of (finally) being kniggeted, next time, Berli boy could you at least clean the farging sword, I now have this strange greenish purple rash rapidly growing across my shoulders and heading south. And since it seems that nobody saw fit to brief you (Bauhaus..., nah, go for it, I'm in a good mood), the idea is to tap each shoulder, not take a full two-handed swing, Luckily I had my thermo-nuclear, plutonium insulted shoulder pads to protect me... shout from the sidelines, in cheesy oriental accent: and it's also a good thing he missed. My most treasured memory of that match was watching his Sherman oh so carefully advance up the street, when, just as he passed the edge of the building, it starts to track a seriously depleted squad to it's left, when it had one of my brave panzers (Mark IV, if memory serves)barrel about 3 feet from it's turret on the right. Watching the movie was priceless, I watched it over and over, laughing insanely (is there any other way?)each time, I am going to save that movie forever. I was positive that I was going to get a damaged main gun just from his external stores snagging on my barrel as his turret traversed 180 degrees away to track that brave squad. Fearing the worst, I expected to miss on the kill shot, due to the tanks being too close. But no, the fates smiled on me, granting me a rear turret kill, then I got to machine gun the surviving crew. It sort of made up for that Sherman 76 single-handedly roasting half my forces. The other highpoint to mention was the outstanding work by my Stug, brilliantly commanded by Peng, who managed to take out another Sherman after repeated frontal hits from about 50 metres, although I suspect the real reason was he finally passed out after shotguning too much Silent Sam and passed out, falling onto the gunner, who thereupon had his face mashed into the trigger, thus *finally* managing to fire the heretofore virgin gun. I am proud to say that we upheld the proud traditions of the pool, by using every gamey tactic in the book, and several more from the Cliff's notes. And I feel that a draw was a fitting conclusion, although I must admit I am a little disturbed by the destruction of the perfect win/loss record I had amassed so far. And, finally, what the expleteive deleted (as per the request of the the mighty bald-one-who-must-be-obeyed) is going one with this Slappy person?? First he steals my Ronin Squire tag. IDIOT!!!, To be a Ronin, you first have to have **LOST** your master, as I did when Meeks disappeared, not never had one in the first place. Although I still suspect that his hamster swarm ate him, they were looking awful fat and bloated the next day, and they soon started foaming at the mouth and finally died in a massive cannibalistic feeding frenzy, with the final hamster living somehow managing to eat itself, it was a truly disturbing thing to watch. I kept it quiet to avoid being reassigned to another one of you freaks. Then, to make things worse, if I am reading his barely coherent post correctly, he is challenging me to a match?? I don't think so, me boyo. I didn't spend a year forcing my poor computer to run that insult of a game to have my first Knight match to be against the likes of you. In conclusion, my thanks for the mighty honour that you have so graciously bestowed upon me. You like me, you really like me... (sorry, had a Sally Fields moment there), and I humbly and proudly accept the honour so bestowed. As befitting the traditions, I choose as my knightly coat of arms: a mighty gopher, snarling in defiance, as it is flattened beneath a tank track, upon a field of dandelions and snowflakes. Drinks for everybody!! Sir Roborat is buying (as he whips out a platinum ferretcard and throws it onto the bar. Strangely, the name is crudely scrawled onto a piece of tape in crayon, which appears to be covering the original name embossed on the card). Damn, noW I have to change my sig, oh well, for the last time: [ 10-02-2001: Message edited by: Roborat ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, tears shed in manly emotion from pride, frustration, sadness or, in the case of Bauhaus, lust are part and parcel of the fabric of the CessPool. I well recall my own misty eyes as I watched Agua Perdido, that fine example of a loyal and trustworthy squire, as he attempted to push me from the path of an onrushing fruit stand ... pity I turned just as he pushed and he instead fell under the wheels. And speaking of squires, may I petition the Olde Ones for a matter of personal privilege? My current loyal and trustworthy squire, Lars has completed the FIVE CessPool games required of a squire. Normally, of course, Lorak would have answered the trumpet long before and acknowledged his place within our ranks. As Lorak the Lost is ... well, lost I suppose, may I propose that the Olde Ones take upon themselves the elevation of Lars to the rank of Knight of the CessPool to which he is, without question, entitled. It would ... {sniff} ... it would be only the right ...{choke} ... you see Herr Oberst ...{sniffle} there are times, there are times. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
