Seanachai Posted January 14, 2001 Share Posted January 14, 2001 I sat in the plaza and drank strong coffee, laced with Irish whiskey. The steam would rise off the cup and you could smell the peatfields. I thought about the fight, when I had faced Andreas as men will face each other when the time comes to fight. He was strong, but I was the stonger. We had fought long, but in the end I had won. I was filled with a terrible sadness. There was an emptiness to victory that I had not expected. She sat across the table from me, and asked "What are you thinking about?". I took a sip of my coffee, and felt the whiskey rise into my head. "I am thinking about what men must do." "You men are filled with such foolishness," she said. I thought about how right she was, and yet how wrong. I knew that men will fight for all the worst reasons, but I could not deny the happiness I felt over defeating the Germanboy. "Perhaps you are right." "What shall we do today?" she asked, all clean, bright words without the ambiguity of combat. "We will eat oysters at the cafe, and drink strong, good white wine." I told her. But my mind was filled with thoughts of the fight. I knew that I would have to face the Germanboy again, for it was not a fair fight. When I stood, wiping blood from my eyes, he looked at me, and told me "You win now. But the balance in an Attack under v1.05 is too heavy in favour of the attacker. I had no armour, not even assault guns, to stiffen my infantry defense." I knew we must meet again, must resolve this between us. I sipped my coffee again. "And what shall we do later?" she said with a happy smile. "There are things I must do. I will ask Andreas for a setup." "Oh, you men and your games." "It is what we do." "And what about your old Peng Challenge Thread?" she said. "Later I will post there. Lorak must know that I beat Germanboy. Peng is back. There are newcomers with no sense of what honour requires." I drained my coffee, and signaled for another cup. Life is like a glass of good whiskey in a bad bar, I thought. It would be a good day. I thought about what troops I would choose to face Andreas. Lorak, you daft bugger, I don't remember if you acknowledged the fact that Andreas admitted losing to me. Please note my win, his loss, if you have not already done so. ------------------ Tremble, tyrants and you perfidious opprobrium of all the parties, Tremblez! your parricidal projects finally will receive their prices!

Seanachai Posted January 14, 2001 Share Posted January 14, 2001 Well. Here we are, as usual, seperating the wheat from the chaff, as it were. Meeks, less of it. Lighten up, my most favoured Inquisitor. Choose your targets, Lad, and bear down a little less. Stevetherat, a lovely appelative, to be sure, but you must add fiber to your diet, laddie; you're overly concerned with the act of defecation. We need to remove the concept that just showing up here and posting repeatedly is the same as having anything to say. I worked construction with alcoholic criminals who could turn a nicer phrase than some of what I've seen posted recently. Squatters Rights is a concept that will only travel so far in the Peng Challenge Thread. Now, mind you, the welcoming/testing attitude of members like Morse (jd), and such, while democratic, can be overdone. I've seen some extremely useless posts here recently, and simply don't wish to see vulgar idiocy rewarded in some sort of Vacuum of Honour. The Peng Challenge Thread, whatever its stewardship, is one of the vilest places on earth, but it is Not Without Honour. Anyone who wishes to wallow endlessly in their own feces, and display it to others, is not Peng Challenge Thread material. Honour, gentleman and ladies, is not foregone by posting here. Expletives are a form of emphasis that should be used sparingly, not as a form of punctuation, nor a form of childish amusement, nor as a substitute for wit. No attempt to restrict the freedom of speech here, but I wish the children to have a model for taunting, not another place to pick up foul habits of speech. If you wish to mock me for this, and disagree, email me, and I'll let your worthless ass know in no uncertain terms just how unpleasant I can make myself if you think I'm being a prig. We are, after all, actually the very best the Combat Mission Board can offer, loosely disguised as the worst. I am no Fool! So get on board, or somefink! ------------------ Tremble, tyrants and you perfidious opprobrium of all the parties, Tremblez! your parricidal projects finally will receive their prices!

The spelling, grammar, and general coherence of your written communications seem to be slipping lately. The name change might be related as well-- you can't actually type "jdmorse" yourself without several typos. Maybe you're just posting more when away from work (if you really call sucking blood from people "work", though it might be slightly better described as "depravity"). Anyway, if you're any good at what you do you can probably afford another secretary to type your posts for the forum when you're at home. If you're not, then you ought to just go walk in front of a fast-moving bus. Then again, it could be that meeks brought the brick back and whacked you upside the head with it and hit the verbal coherence region of your brain. ------------------ Slayer of the Original Cesspool Thread.

Seanachai Posted January 14, 2001 Share Posted January 14, 2001 And, in my final post of this night, let me welcome back my French brother, PawBroon. I acknowledge your encouragement that I sod off, and in fact, get buggered. It is a relief so strong to see that you post here again. Now that the French have returned, I can relax and resume my search to find a good English translation of 'The Three Musketeers', my copy of which has gone missing, doubtless because I once again (for the fourth time) gave it away to a friend in the hopes that this time I would find a really good translation when I replaced it. I note with some interest, hope, and even enthusiasim that there are new editions of 'Twenty Years After', 'the Vicomte de Bragelonne', and 'Louise de la Vallière' available on the American book market. The latter two have not been available other than as weird special order volumes from obscure publishing houses at great expense during most of my adult life, which puts it out there a bit, and the fact that there are now paperback versions easily available gives me hope for publishing in America, although I haven't had a chance to check out the translations as yet.

Thank you! I just like to add for the benefit of MarkIV, is that my life isn't yet that bad that I have to go counting how many posts someone else has made...that would be truly sad!

As for my two games posted... what can I really say? I started out well against the evil Berli. We traded shots... then the hammer of God fell upon my troops!(210mm). I can only assume that God was trying to smite Berli and his evilness. Sadly due to horrible inaccuracy of the weapon. It hit me by mistake. OGSF.... Once again decided to buy his veteran hamsters.Game started in a nice damp fog filled village. I move forward on the right, my platoon gets slaughterd. But what is this? SMG squads? ok.. will keep that in mind. SO I send a flanking move out to the left... platoon gets slaughtered. Umm.. flame throwers in the fog. From here on out I just decided to forget about being clever. I changed my tactics to just kicking OGSF's verteran's asses. Now to thier credit. His men fought well. We managed to go all the way to the end of the battle. But it is the little things you remember... OGSF's last squad, totaly surrounded and out gunned. So my men decide to rush the position in order to overwhelm the veteran... but sadly... the war was all ready over for these men. When we got there, they were already balled up crying and cursing OGSF's name under thier trench coats. Thier spirits did seem to lighten a little as we led OGSF away, beating him with a frozen Hagis. Lorak the loathed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremble starts, slowly at first but builds to a crescendo then suddenly stops. Colour flushes back on cheeks suddenly as whole internal organ complement is ejected into trouser legs. Holding on to waistband, he turns and sloshes as speedily as possible over the horizon, with an occasional black lung and red kidney loosening itself from his elesticated trouser legs.

OK, I am closing this one up. I refuse to let this thread become the one that is the first go reach the 200 mark, so better to nip this one in the bud.
