Treeburst155 Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 This just in!! Adam Lloyd has agreed to participate. You may remember him as "Pillar" since he used to post under that name. He's been a part of the CM community for as long as I can remember. Welcome aboard, Adam! [ 06-16-2001: Message edited by: Treeburst155 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Hi Adam, There are no eliminations in this tournament. It's more like a mini-ladder that will eventually end. You will play one game against every other participant whether you win or lose. This tourney will be going on for a long time since everyone has to play so many games.

Claymore Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Aahh at last a chance to renew a tight gripped throttling of at least one notably scurrilous character. I must say that I was proud to be included in such a group of...shall we say...ill repute? Being perhaps a quasi-lurker in the CM forum I may not be known by some or have played others but I promise to leave my boot tracks across everyone on my way victory.

Treeburst155 Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 M. Dorosh, No, I won't be playing since I'm putting up the $50 bonus prize and will also be handling any disputes that might arise. I'll also be busy compiling a nice set of stats as the tourney progresses and posting them here. Things like total score, games played, average score per game, average score of opponents and whatever else I can come up with that might interest players. I've also got to make a bunch of maps. I've got 12 done right now. I'm afraid to figure out how many I'll need. I'll just keep plugging away at the maps while you guys are playing. Madmatt!! Do somefink!

It shows only that you are less than half a wit and more like a steaming pile of wit for you to come here and piss and moan and cry and golly gee and ghostificate about who killed who. You are probably an avid consumer of Bud Lite or Coors Lite or some other abortion "beer" or god forbid you think "white zinfandel" is a potable concoction. So instead of being a big horrid cry baby why don't you just have a nice warm cup of shut the hell up and go on with your idiot drooling and stop irritating your betters? My god but you ugly american teens and your foaming at the mouth really is just about too much to bear. Vlad the impaler had the right idea for dealing with your type. Oh, and if you are "feeling left out" why dont you just take a big goddam spike and smack it into your fat ugly head with a rubber mallet for god's sake. Or better yet, just get a willing adult to buy you some boone's farm apple wine and a .45 and blow your worhtless brains out? Just go away, spirit boy. You are worthles and weak and your pitious whining and faux chest thumping is giving us a headache. For the love of god will you please please please die of unnatural causes soon? Gah! ARE YOU STILL HERE? I will have to have a word or two with Berli about this. Die a lot now Peng edited to rid us of those effing emoticons. scum.

Treeburst155 Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Speaking of infantry only tourneys I'm seriously contemplating giving players the choice of using Panther 76 Rules with no mines, bunkers, pillboxes, or air allowed; OR the Recon Rules with light tanks allowed. The Recon Rules make for an interesting change of pace and infantry plays a larger role. I could even give players a 3rd option for their games with infantry and 81mm only, for a pure infantry fight. No vehicles or armor. Any feedback on this from participants would be appreciated. Do you guys want restrictions on your purchases? If so, I'm open to suggestions. Keep in mind these battles will be meeting engagements. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost358th Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 By George looks like I struck a nerve! Peng himself felt the need to address me and the threat of TH. Sorry if what I said hit a little to close to the mark. Yet I see that what I said does not ring hollow or you would not have dragged out the almighty Peng to unleash his barrage of insults. It is ok Peng, it is common knowledge that no high level of play goes on amongst the Poolers. Indeed, they really dont enjoy playing anymore as near as I can tell. You all live for your little Peng thread hurling insults and being witty. Infact it has become more important to be a witty and good insulter, then it has to be a good player. Run back to your thread. And tell yourselves again and again...We are so witty I am so good at insults I have a reoccuring thread named after me ! Yippee! Hide behind your insults and witicisms, do not venture forth from the safety of the Pool to actually play *tisk* a TCP game. I predict no poolers will show at the tourney, but I was not trying to reach the likes of them. It is obvious poolers don't actually PLAY CM.

Treeburst155 Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Ghost358th, Your #3 status on the TH ladder is very impressive. Perhaps you would like to take out some of your hostility and resentment at not being invited on me in a TH ladder game. (I am on the main ladder and the CAL ladder). After all, I'm the one that didn't invite you. I'm afraid I can only do PBEM since I can't free up a large block of time, but I'd sure like to see what kinda stuff the #3 ladder man has. Whaddaya say? Email me with a setup if you want to show me what ya got. PS Please don't hassle the People of Peng on my thread. You'll get it locked up. You see, the Cesspoolians aren't really responsible for their actions (and posts). You and I are, or we would be one of them. Treeburst155 out.

Treeburst155 Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Berlichtingen, My original thinking was to allow purchase restrictions to be worked out by the participants. This is spelled out in the invite letter. Nobody has really expressed any burning desire FOR restrictions. I just thought I might be doing the players a favor by shortening game negotiations with imposed purchase restrictions. So, I have two votes not to limit purchases. I'd love to hear from more of you on this. CapitalistDogInChina, My apologies to you, sir. I should have mentioned your accomplishments on the RD ladder when I announced you. I feel bad about neglecting to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Email from WineCape to Treeburst155: Please quote verbatim and post the following in my name on the Stars Invitational thread for me: Just mention that I am out of the country because of soccer duties (and have no Internet access except via my mobile) In response to Ghost's reply... Ghost, in all due respect, please read my very first post of this Invitational thread again. You will gather that by the usuage of the words 'stars' and 'invitational' we mean the following: 'Invitational' = Nothing special in itself. Just to differentiate from the first-come-first-serve variety. Impossible to invite those *we* want to honour if in the latter tourney form. 'Stars' = (again, note the quote marks) People/Forum goers that Treeburst155 and I regard (of course subjectively!) as OUR Stars. Just the fact that they ACCEPT our humble invite makes them STARS in our eyes. Nothing more nothing less. They were invited because they were either competent PBEM opponents, or because of contributions they made to the forum in general or to CM in specific, or because, even though they were so-so PBEM players, Treeburst155 and I thought that it will be an honour for US to invite them due to their decency and sportmanslike behaviour. In short, from all walks of the forum (Pengers included!) We would like these combatants to participate at a leisurely PBEM pace over several months with custom made maps. Granted, it is impossible to invite even ALL those Treeburst155 and I consider to be 'Stars', for whatever reason we, subjectively believe them to be Stars in our opinion -- and may I add that there are PLENTY here on the Forum to choose from. So please don't feel slighted just because you or anybody else has not come up in OUR subjective invitee list that we have drawn up to honour those that WE, again subjectively, believe have contributed to this Forum or to CM. As a matter of good faith, I personally extend an invite to you to participate in our small tourney. One Caveat: --- Your invitation is conditional based on how many people already invited choose to participate. We will accept no more than twenty. If we do not reach that number by Wednesday you will receive an invitation. The chances are very good that you would get in. ********* Ghost, do I have your confirmation of your willingness to participate then? ********* To all those that graciously -- and not so graciously, but still in good faith (The Pengers) -- agreed to play in our 'Stars' Invitational tourney so far, you have our sincerest GRATITUDE. Thank you. May the winner be *enriched* in CM tactics, wine as well as that omni-present factor..... FUN! Sincerely, Charl Theron Out of my country @ the moment!

The gentlemanly Winecape and Treeburst155, their tournament, and this thread, are in no way affiliated with (or excessively contaminated by) the Eternal Peng Challenge Thread. They were simply courteous enough to come by and invite our members to send forth some participants. As my father always said: Courtesy costs nothing. You might stop and consider that occassionaly. Do you a world of good when you grow up, and might save you some pain in the process. As for your contentions regarding Peng Challenge Thread members and playing CM; well, lad, children worry most about keeping score. Adults generally play for the enjoyment of the game. And what you see on the Peng Challenge Thread is a community (however odd) of people interacting firstly, and keeping score rather as an after thought. Now, I ask that the Peng Challenge Folk that wander in here read, rather than turning Winecape and Treebust's thread into a home away from home, and ignore Ghost538. People who spend a lot of time posturing and shouting their score, like most children, want attention. Doesn't matter if it's positive or negative attention, they just want it. Thanks to Winecape and Treeburst155 for their patience and gentlemanly behaviour. And remember, all, we have a homeland. Out here, we are guests. *this is a courteous way of stating 'is as thick as two short planks laid atop each other.'

Treeburst155 Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Yes, to finally understand the Mutha Beautiful Thread is an exhilarating experience. It took me months to get to the point where I said to myself, "Self, you know where these people are coming from now." Once The Pool is understood, it is easy to accept it's existence. Once you've accepted the Mutha Beautiful Thread you learn to love it, just like you love that cute little puppy that just crapped on your new carpet. Now I forgot what I was originally going to say here. Ah well.......... [ 06-17-2001: Message edited by: Treeburst155 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
