Treeburst155 Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Germanboy, Gamey crap?! Me? I don't need 6 Pershings to crush you. A few squads and 27 jeeps for recon will suffice. You have nothing to worry about. I wouldn't waste my time or yours with gamey crap even though your whole life is probably a waste. MarkIV, Are you as mediocre as your handle implies? Once I tar and feather Spermygirl I'm coming after you. I find you especially loathsome. At least Germanboy has the guts to take on the unknown.

It is a great, weighty, purple-headed, dog-legged sort of thing. Respect it, and you need not fear it. As to mediocrity, I aspire to be only as great as that which was proven in abundance on three continents in skillful hands. You, apparently, aspire to be a puff of smoke.

I wonder, have the eldil of Thulcandra got you so far into their grasp? Unfortunate, but what can one expect in this sad age? But, I must to the matter. The sorrow I feel is from your sad, misguided action of dragging the horrid world that is beyond Festung Pengopa into the darkness that is our home. We all venture out into the land of Grogs and wogs, but we assume masks there, hiding what we are to pass amongst the 'danes for a while; sometimes to guide and sometimes to lead astray. But all of us, Squires, Knights and even you, are gently enwrapped by the gauzy muslin of Peng that keeps us just a little separate and them just a tad distant. What we say there and what we say here are as different as between wandering down Rush Street drunk and quietly contemplating the Pieta. No action, no word, no gesture on the Outside reaches back to us here. In our home we are what we are, to paraphrase an extremely important trio. So: hold me to what my Beyond-the-Peng-Thread post said? Sure, Lorak. And, why not also mention what I said in the meeting at 1030 today about Sealy Mattress Company and their Marketing Deparment. One is as relevant as the other. Peng is Peng and Board is Board and Life is Life ... never shall they meet. I thought to have you apologize for your heretical actions, but that would be like Mace excusing his cigarette smoke to the sheep afterwards. So, your file will be along shortly, and the map will be flat, barren and scortched under a blistering sun, like our spirits beneath the gaze of PENG.

BFCElvis Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 I have received a file from MarkIV. All I have to say is that it is about time.

And Marlow....yes you did beat me. You are one of the lucky few. You caught me in a weak moment (oh sure ..rub it in that the weak moment lasted a month.

But when Penger's speak of other penger's anywhere...it is fair game. I look forward to playing you.

Loderunner Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Shoot! I just posted a new comment section! Anyhow, I'm new. I read about this game in Knights of the Dinner Table (GREAT humor comic based on roleplaying- mainly D and D- rivals Fineous Fingers). Picked this group because of the volume and off the wall posts. Played the demo, and I'm hooked. Waited all my life for a game like this to come out. Thank God I'm still in my early 30s. If I was 70, I'd destroy the computer with a brick and curse God for the irony. TRYING not to offend anyone, one post reads: "A Penger tends to suffer from excess intelligence, over-education, and complete frustration because these things are not enough to enable him to beat the rest of us in CM." OK- My thoughts- anyone smart enough to follow WWII history and be addictive to complex games of strategy (so as to not buy the cheat book- instead, they buy a book on tank combat written by a German veteran, and put it next to the other 100 books they own in similar subjects)- is probably within the top 5 percent of any USA IQ test. All the posts I've read seem to indicate intelligent, educated, well read people. But the slams are MERCILESS! My take on that is: everyone here knows that they're pretty damn smart, in one way or another. When one person of this calibre gets slammed by another, it's the ultimate insult. Eventually, one person pretends to be Einstein, proclaiming the other as the village idiot. My favorite posts are the truly funny ones. You all know what they are. The funny thing about these posts: people try to slam the posters of the funny posts once in a while, as well. I noticed quite a few of you quote obscure sources (I'm trying to sound smart- really, I am) My favorite quote (listed on my Yahoo ID from a long time ago): "Gentlemen! You can't fight in here! This is the War Room!" -Dr Strangelove, or, How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb P.S.- Aragorn would like the game more if there were +4 magical 88s (Behold- the gun that was broken!) P.S.S.- I've played the demo- should be expecting the game Monday! I can't wait! I've spent about 300 dollars so far on Advanced Squad Leader modules, rules, and issues of The General, all of which I'll probably never use. However, I can transform some of these scenarios into actual form. Damn, we live in the ultimate age! If Beethoven was alive today, he wouldn't have written anything! In fact, he'd be yelling, "I'm alive! Christ! Dig me up!" Tom- Dammm the spell check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wildman Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Loadrunner, As the welcome mat we call Seanachai has not yet arrived to take you by the hand and lead you around the place, allow me to give you a few suggestions. First, while I completely understand why you would obviously be in awe of such intelligent and well-spoken individuals like ourselves, never...never..ever tell us that. Second, the Pool is here to find your next victim, goad him unmercifully into a rage and then kill him in copious amounts when you battle. As has been said many times before, single out someone in the crowd. Verbally abuse him about the head and shoulders until he (or she) is forced to recognize you and feels the need to make you Die-a-Lot. Prepared to be ignored, spat upon, and generally used in violent and nasty ways. If you persevere and answer in kind, you may eventually, eventually be tolerated. If you post once or twice and then vacate the area then we know you have neither the mental agility nor the internal fortitude to lounge in the Cess. Now either sack up or SOD OFF!!! -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark IV Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Originally posted by Loderunner: Anyhow, I'm new. Duh. I read about this game in... Yah, we picked it up off a passing Chessie System boxcar, spray-painted in livin culuh. If I was 70, I'd destroy the computer with a brick and curse God for the irony. Only good line. TRYING not to offend anyone... You're kidding, right? OK- My thoughts... CHOP. Load, ya seem to have some vocabulary, though it runs to the obsequious, but speaking personally I like and deserve that. But fut the whuck. You don't MEAN to be OFFENSIVE? Then what the HELL are you doing HERE? There are lots of places to not be offensive. There are lots of places where you can not smoke, not sell illegally modified sporting goods, and not exceed the posted speed limit. There are actually hundreds of places where you can not feign a scottish accent. None of them are HERE. Some of us probably share your interests, your passions, your history, but we don't really give a rodent's posterior, nor a treeburst in a windstorm, we want some BILE, some GRUDGE, some 'TUDE!

Seanachai Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Sigh. It took me even longer to find the Thread this time, and I was only out of town for 2 days. Fortunately the Mad One always leaves a trail of breadcrumbs to the new home. Thanks, jd, for restarting the Thread, but why can none of you grasp the fact that the Thread must have 'Peng Challenge' in it? Peng could not possibly be in Paradise. But the Peng Challenge Thread could go there. Tedious place, really. Paradise, I mean. After all, how do you know it's the best there is just because you can't think of anything better? All that aside, although I haven't really got caught up on the new Thread, why are you doing a stage production of the Lord of the Rings? That strikes me as unusually bizarre, even for this place. Frankly, if the Peng Challenge Thread members are going to put on a show, it should probably be something like "Marat/Sade" (to give it it's short name), or something by Brecht&Weil. I mean, the members here could probably do well with 'The Threepenny Opera', or 'the City of Mahagony'. Still, from what I've read so far, either some nutter's come to the Thread, or one of you is practicing lines for a stage play. Confess, lads, who's playing the part of Aragorn? Ah, well. I shall endeavour tomorrow to get caught up on the Thread. Tonight I concentrated on getting turns out to avoid hard words thrown at me by Berli, and Goanna, and other demanding chums. I'm sure a few more pages of reading will sort out who's playing which character. Is Bauhaus going to play Gollum, or is Moriarity? Seems to me this Thread is going to have a hell of a time coming up with people who can play the noble characters. Really, lads, go with something else. I mean, think of the fun we could all have doing Weil sing-songs (that even sounds right for this place), gleefully inserting our fellows names into the songs! peng was all present and bauhaus was there and shaw he was up for promotion not that the Army gave a bugger who they were when they fronted some heathen commotion the troops live under the cannon's thunder from Sin to Kootch Bey-Har moving from place to place when they come face to face with a different breed of fellow whose skins are black or yellow they quick as winking chop them into Beefsteak, TarTar! mark iv found his whiskey too warm and meeks found the weather too balmy but berli took them both by the arm said, boys, don't ever disappoint the army the troops live under the cannon's thunder from Sin to Kootch Bey-Har moving from place to place when they come face to face with a different breed of fellow whose skins are black or yellow they quick as winking chop them into Beefsteak, TarTar! lorak's a write-off and croda is dead and jd was shot for looting but young men's blood goes on being red and the Army still goes on a-head Re-cruiting. the troops live under the cannon's thunder from Sin to Kootch Bey-Har moving from place to place when they come face to face with a different breed of fellow whose skin is black or yellow they quick as winking chop them into Beefsteak, TarTar! ------------------ Tremble, tyrants and you perfidious opprobrium of all the parties, Tremblez! your parricidal projects finally will receive their prices!
