Quite the opposite and subtlety doesn't come easy when you're... well, you know... Him. That guy. Satan. I've never been very fond of subtlety myself. More of the "screw the feints and the posturing, just rip 'is 'ead off" kinda guy. So I'm kinda symphonic err wossname sympathetic to the devil, in my own way.

Joe Shaw Posted April 9, 2001 Share Posted April 9, 2001 GAMEY is as GAMEY does! While that's not something my Mom used to say, it's certainly true. The problem, however, is that it's become OVERUSED. For example, back in the old days you had movie STARS ... and everyone knew that if you were a STAR you were at the pinnacle of your profession. But then someone noticed that if you were in films AT ALL that someone would call you a star! That wouldn't do, so some clown came up with SUPERSTAR! I present this small history lesson because I've become disturbed (well, not in THAT way ... okay in that way too, but that's not the point) by the over usage of the term GAMEY in this The One The True CessPool. While it's undeniable that jd eaked out a draw against me through the use of GAMEY, edge hugging tactics, and Mace won his game by GAMILY buying ahistorical tank mixes, and ... well, you get the idea ... anyway, it's getting so that everyone is labelled as GAMEY! Except for me, of course, and those that do are just being GAMEY. So, my friends (and GermanBoy), I say it's time to do one of two things (no Bauhaus THAT'S NOT one of them), either reserve the term GAMEY for the REAL Gamey Bastards (i.e. anyone who beats me ... I know, I know, that won't narrow the field too much) or come up with a term analogous to SUPERSTAR to identify them. It's getting so you can't tell the Gamey Bastards without a scorecard!

David Aitken Posted April 9, 2001 Author Share Posted April 9, 2001 News from the Front The "Front" being, of course, the latest MG Effectiveness thread. • Pillar thinks that experience has nothing to do with troops' ability to move in the face of machinegun fire. • I saw someone claim that machinegun crews should be able to move as fast as riflemen. PBEM Report Come to think of it, I haven't heard from Meeks lately. Looks like another resend job. Elvis is denying responsibility for his actions. Leeo and I have disentangled in the dark for the time being, and I am attempting to prevent my men from killing each other long enough to kick the remnants of his Sturmkompanie off the VL. I can't find Græmlin in the dictionary. Methinks the folks at UBB have nothing better to do than enhance the functionality of their smilies (ie. change the appearance and give them a new name, like... Windows XP).

armornut Posted April 9, 2001 Share Posted April 9, 2001 Dear Sir mace, I sit here board with nothing to do but read the drivel on the main board. I have cleaned the sheep(extra conditioner for that extra bounce you like), trimmed thier hooves, and marked each of the females with a pink ribbon and a bell(for ease of finding), as well as shined your boots, and cleaned the litter box. Would you be so gracious as to send me a game? I would love to learn at the hands of such a master(or something). Your humble and unworthy squire, Armornut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd Posted April 9, 2001 Share Posted April 9, 2001 It would seem that we are approaching the moment of truth......has our continuity, as a anarcho-syndicalist ater-ego been restored? Frankly I think the communal zeitgeist was more interesting when we were 40 pages into a single thread. This re-posting threads every 10 pages (or less) has no substance and casts a rather sad shadow of it's formerly pengish self. I haven't noticed words from on high. I hope anew, but hold no bets...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevetherat Posted April 9, 2001 Share Posted April 9, 2001 At bloody last! I've been going to my bookmarked forum page (without the ****e brickwork) for days and receiving the 'forum is offline for repairs' bollocks all that time. I decide to go back through the traditional route to get here: the homepage; discussion forums; et bloody cetera, and I find we've got a new pad. Well, someone's hung new wallpaper, at least. So, where was I? Nowhere, actually, because I've been in such a rage over the 'offline' business that my words have evapourated. No, there is one thing, but it's hardly a surprise. The game with Croda has ended on turn 60. The score? Yes, I was coming to that. Hold on to your hats; 92:8 to me. It's only fitting for one so blatently talented. There are thousands of other battles going on, and I'm sure you'l forgive me for forgetting you for a while, but I'm off to Scotland. Loch Lomond for Easter. Perfect. Well, it would be if I can stay away from that Scottish hoard of *ankers OHMYGOD and Dave 'the rave' Aitken. That's it. Please go forth and multiply.

David Aitken Posted April 10, 2001 Author Share Posted April 10, 2001 Last guy I heard of visiting Loch Lomond ended up with his arms and legs underwater, his torso on a rubbish tip and his head on a beach near Ayr.

BFCElvis Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 DavidYes it is true I am not taking resposibility for my alleged actions. A platoon knee deep in snow advanced on an enemy platoon that I knew was in position to get up close and personal shots on my boys running in the open snow. I remember thinking when I plotted the turn "ya don't want to go running into that mess until you've nicked him up a bit". I get the movie back and guess what my men are doing. I would like to formally charge David Ohmyaikenhead with cheating. He somehow was able to, thru telpathy is my guess right now, get into my head and cause me to do things I would never consider doing on my own (sit down bauhaus). That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Aitken Posted April 10, 2001 Author Share Posted April 10, 2001 Sorry Mr Elvish, the breathalyser indicates that you were in control of a copy of Combat Mission while several hundred times over the legal alcohol limit. Either that or Peng was in control of your copy of Combat Mission while you were several hundred times over the legal alcohol limit. That said, I must plead guilty on charges of gamily utilising sound tactics, using accurate mortar fire where the opposition could only fling shells randomly, knock out enemy AFVs with said artillery where the opposition could only button them, and press home the attack even after losing most of my armour where the opposition could only flounder, run around and take every opportunity to get killed in imaginative ways (the defence submits Exhibit A, the Humber shooting gallery).

dalem Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 "Ranking", "number", "newbie"... Everybody seems so concerned with trivial things like status and seniority. Perhaps you'd all relax if'n you had a respectable number, say, one below 691. Face! And PeterBeater, it's April now, so you no longer own my sig. If you want it back send me another setup.
