Roborat Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Game update. Yes, finally, the squire challenge with Ffoobbaarr stumbles to a close, finally. There are 6 turns left, I think, something like that, so if we really step up the pace we might actually finish this before the end of the month; but, somehow, I doubt it. Since I suspect I will lose this one, after that disasterous start, and to keep my perfect record intact, I shall have to find another way to get my kniggithood, lord knows my (missing in inaction) mentor certainly isn't helping. So how about it, any of you slime sniffing squires (SSS's ) wish to pad their stats and thereby give me the necessary 5 pool games?? I just need two more to qualify. Just meet me in back of the squire's lounge, where we can play out of the notice of the mossbacked kniggitt types. That way we can ignore that historical forces and tactics, grognard type silliness and just try and kill as many digital redshirts as possible. note to foobar: This game has been going since forever, the reason I don't come out is that my tanks have run out of bloody fuel, and the men's various rifles and smgs have rusted up solid through lack of use, and I think a family of badgers have taken up residence in the panzershreck, as the men are afraid to disturb it. So you just come in and get me, Mr. "I have some french tanks left and am not afraid to use them". We have plenty of rocks and pointed sticks to fend you off with. And one unit has managed to scrounge up a few bananas and nectarines, just to give you some tactical variety (and maybe a few bee stings). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Lorak point of order! If the wins and losses represent (as I suspect) Wins and Losses (call me crazy but I sense a connection there) then surely a WIN can only be scored if the person who didn't WIN (i.e. the one who had the LOSS) didn't WIN because of something the one who WON did. Right? Because, see, in our game Seanachai DIDN'T have a LOSS, but wait, cause see, it wasn't cause he was like this great military commander or something, I mean like we ALL know better than that right? No, cause, see, it was cause I DIDN'T WIN like I should have, for a lot of silly little reasons we don't have to get into right now for this point of order. SO, if Seanachai didn't actually, like, WIN, but instead I kinda like, I don't know, maybe I had like this LOSS ya know, then HE wouldn't get credit for a WIN cause, like, hello, he didn't WIN right? I mean I had a LOSS, okay fine, sure whatever, but it's not like HE had a WIN, cause really I like had the LOSS instead, see? So, like, whatdoyathink?

Your suffering is great. And it is long. Had I a conscience, I would have forced this fray to a conclusion 3 months ago. But in retrospect, when this bloody mess started, I had many things that I can no longer afford. But I do have Panache, Moxie, and a distaste for fair play. But again, where is Meeks? You will fall defending his name, and where is the dumbcough? Boy did you back the wrong horse... I almost mustered up some admiration for your stoic perseverence through all of this. But then you killed one of my Shermans. Now all I have for you is H.E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw: Loss, due to Seanachai's finally doing something approaching an intelligent use of armour, Shaw's early on decision to surrender the VLs to the forces of justice, and Seanachai's shameless taking advantage of Shaw's distractions in the Real World™ to rack up a win. Scribe it, Oh Lorak. It is a far, far better loss that Shaw has suffered, than he has suffered before; it is a far, far better rest he goes to, than he has ever known.

Seanachai Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 I have a simple question for Captain Foobar, rightly abused in song and story, and the Canadian digital vermin, Roborat, famed amongst pest control circles for his non-response to normal poisons: Are you two still playing the scenario, with map by Berli, in which every single freaking thing in sight, including the rocks, are on fire? In which I set up the units, naming all significant AFVs and such after established Cesspool members (including Berli, Peng, and Myself?). If you two are just now winding up that hideous nightmare (gosh, didn't we used to have fun taunting the newcomers in the old days? Those were days filled with our joyful banter, and pointed comments on how they did it during the Inquisition), then all I can say is: What the hell have you two been doing? My sister had a child quicker than you've completed that game! If it is the same game, I move that they not only be made Knights upon its completion, but that they get some sort of Cesspool Medal. Oh, and that we all stand around and point at them and laugh, and make disparaging comments about the intelligence of individuals that would actually play through one of Berli's cruel 'if you would cross the bridge of doom' scenarios.

Foobar Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 PenileItch: As my 6 yr old nephew has said to me time and time again.. "DUH!!!!" Yes every building is on fire. All the infantry have run off the map, do to the lack of cover. 95% of all afvs are disabled or shocked.Yes it did in fact start 9 months ago.

I realize you haven't gotten that far in your "English as a Second Language" course. Why not skip ahead a few chapters to see what exciting new usages await? I'm sure Mr. Patel won't mind.

The whole concept of "losing" just can't be tolerated anymore, nor should it be. Why the next thing you know, we'll have sincere, sensitive folks like Joe walking around feeling inadequate because they "lost" at CM. We can't have that in the 2001 Cesspool. We need a new term such as "Victory Challenged" to describe those who fail to accrue sufficient points in a game to be "Winning Advantaged". The touchy-feely Pool of the modern era should embrace the politically correct way to deal with Joe and others of his ilk. They aren't "losers"; they just look, talk, and act like them.

Lars Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Game Updates: Iskander Prefers rye whiskey (a very respectable second choice, no doubt took British kit). Has sent 600 pt. ME setup (or is that a set-up? who cares, set ‘em up again). Playing game with modified view one rule (i.e. one hand over the eye). We are stumbling about in the dark. Very appropriate for these regulations. Mouse Drinks gin (the lonely girl’s friend). Has finally rounded up his chittering Habi-Trail assault teams. The Bourbon-soaked lads have spotted vermin on the move, aerial spraying to begin real soon now. Now I must go find the aspirin, suffering from major dain bramage (have fun with that you twits).
