Sir Peng, I take your challenge to Lord Raglan

*spin mode on*

Ahem, is this on? Attention, please.

We wish to announce that the seminal game with Iskandoofus has been completed. Since he was new to the pool I took it upon myself to welcome him and let him feel he is a valued and able member. Thus, I had to let him win or we'd be stuck with WM and STR 's bickering. Plus it was in the fog, uphill, was trying out new defenses, he's a gamey bastard.... whatever. To save him from further heartache and to avoid his further embarrassment I surrendered voluntarily even though I am sure that if the game had been completed the results would have been a clear cut win for me. This way his self esteem is bolstered.

I had a company and 2 tanks. IIRC he had 4 tank/td's plus armored cars, arty and at LEAST a company or more of troops. An investigation of initial points may have to launched as to whether this was a "fair" setup or a "setup" since Mister Isk sent the file, sight unknown. Oh did I say fog?

Anyway, I didn't want to steal the boys thunder. He is so proud and thinks he has accomplished something. You, my opponents out there, know how hollow a victory over me is anyway. So when he comes by, boasting of his feat, give him a "huzzah" and "well done, lad" and let him bask in what pitiful accomplishments he does manage.

A little lesson in that it is not in the actual winning but in the spin that the 'pool revolves.

Hmmm, spinning, revolving, 'pool ... sounds like somebody went down the drain to me.

Added mensch to poolmod and in a stunningly grog-like move, included the reason for his behavior in the picture.

Berli callously destroyed a split squad in the middle of the street, and was quickly returned in kind by around seven squads and a tank. Can you say overwatch? I'm in the middle of the town, and all his troops are doing is RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY. I can only assume that he has lost his manhood somewhere on the other side of the map and is sending his troops to find it.

A view of the battle, no doubt, brought about by the large quantties of Ganj' you've been smokin'. The only attempt to accually take a victory location went up in smoke (flamethrowers will do that). To date, all VL flags are red, white and BLACK... no red, white and BLUE to be seen.

Ahh you festering gits, Nice to see you again.

Seanachai,

I am disrespecting you? My god man! That is almost a compliment in the pool. Sadly It is true that Several of you have challenged me to games as of late. (Yes, I still owe the Bard a beating). I've had several games outside of the pool pop-up lately and as I get some of those resolved, I be happy to wing some death your way.

Lorak the loathed

I get the feeling this is technically the real opponent finder thread, right? If so I'd like to play, please, thank you.

Joe Shaw · March 2, 2001

Ah I'm afraid you've gone beyond the Pale on that request.

This is the Peng Challenge Thread, the Mutha Beautiful Thread, The One The True CessPool. One does not come here to find opponents but rather to find taunts, vitrol and abuse. The playing of CM is nothing but a vehicle that allows us to call each other what we all richly deserve to be called. So, in short ... although for all I know you may be quite tall ... if you want a game ... go elsewhere. If you've a mind to enter the fray, be prepared for abuse and slander beyond your wildest dreams and, if you show that you've the mettle for the 'pool, you may get a game. Mind you it won't be much of a game since we are acknowledged CM losers, but it will be a game in the 'pool. So in the time honored tradition of the CessPool ...

Sound off like ya got a pair son! Insult someone.

Tremble, tyrants and you perfidious opprobrium of all the parties,

Tremblez! your parricidal projects finally will receive their prices!

But these sanguinary despots, But these accomplices of Berli,

All these tigers which, without pity, Bauhaus the centre of their mother!

We will enter the career When our elder is not there any more,

We will find there their dust And the trace of their virtues

Half a track, half a track,

Half a track onward,

All in the valley of Cess

Rode the six hundred.

"Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the grogs!" he said:

Into the valley of Cess

Rode the six hundred.

"Forward, the Light Brigade!"

Was there a man dismayed?

Not tho' the 'poolers knew

Someone had blundered:

Theirs was not to make reply,

Theirs was not to reason why,

Theirs was but to taunt and die:

Into the valley of Cess

Rode the six hundred.

Grogs to the right of them,

Snerts to the left of them,

Moderators in front of them

Volleyed and thunder'd;

Storm'd at with taunt and bile,

Boldly they lied with style,

Into the pit of Cess,

Into the rancid smell,

Rode the six hundred.

Flashed all their bums bare,

Flashed as they turned in air,

Taunting the posters there,

Charging an army, while

All the board wondered:

Plunging in the groggy smoke,

Right through the thread they broke;

Bauhaus and Lawyer

Reeled from the stinging-stroke

Shattered and sundered.

Then they rode back, but not--

Not the six hundred.

Refreshing monkeys to the right of them,

Newbies to the left of them,

Madmatt behind them

Volleyed and thundered;

Stormed at with lies and cess,

While Peng wore a girlie dress,

They that teased so well,

Came thro' the jaws of Cess,

Back from the monkey's mess,

All that was left of them,

Left of the six hundred.

When can their glory fade?

Oh, the wild taunts they made!

All the Board wondered.

Honor the lies they made!

Honor the Light Brigade,

Noble Six Hundred!

Pale · March 2, 2001

Ok, I can do that, maybe. Let's see, judging by the little pictures I can see you are all an ugly bunch, so why don't you try to redeem yourselves in my eyes with beautiful tactics in CMBO battle?
