David Aitken Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 The next time I see someone on this forum accusing another of comparing apples to oranges, there is going to be fruit juice spilt on the carpet. BTS could probably encapsulate the spirit of the discussions surrounding the game by calling their next release CM3: Apples and Oranges (settle which is best once and for all!)...

The scenario, for those who weren't aware of it, is simply a faceoff between German and American 240mm FOs (about 15 on each side) on a smallish map in heavy fog. The goal of the scenario is for either player to capture the sole VF in the centre of the map, while surviving the maelstrom of large-calibre artillery fire. It was developed with a few things in mind: XX) for a cheap laugh (yes it was a big joke), and Pi) to test the mettle of that SSN, Gustav, who wouldn't take no for an answer in his continuing attempt to challenge me in combat (imagine, a Kniggit expected to play a SSN, what's the MBT coming to). Gustav has not been seen since I foisted my little piece of evilness off to him. Better yet, it's an offense to Panzer Leader's intelligence (ie, not that offensive). Hence, I believe I should be awarded some recognition for this fine achievement. Mace PS Stop talking about SHEEP...It's stirring up strange feelings in me!

von shrad Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 There must be some kind of loophole that allows the admiration of sheep so we can clean this whole mess up quickly and rather painlessly. However, there must be some kind of statute that forbids topic's that will arouse Joe Shaw and Lawyer into making replies in full. Think of the horror of these two kicking around their Banker/Attorney *mumbo-jumbo for 5 pages. It would look worse than Tokyo ravaged by none less than Godzilla vs. Mothra on LSD. I forbid (can I do that to a Knight?) any more of this imploding behavior. Could you imagine the fee's involved? All lost during a bad investment! *Mumbo-Jumbo {slng.} 1.

Panzer Leader Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 SO it was YOU you wretch! Now the pieces fall into place... Incidentally I took up the the gits little challenge due solely to the fact that he is an Alaskan fisherman. I think we all (and Mace especially) will be happy to know that this game will assuredly run him off. Look, all I'm saying is that the games should be fun to play, that's all. They can be crazy, stupid, ahistorical, whatever. But games that are just GO-GO-GO-GO are not worth playing. Crodaburg now THERE'S a game for SSNs. 60 turns of pathetic, hair-rending, futility. What makes it all the more great/horrible, is the amount of WORK you have to go to to lose. Incidntally, I will give a mini-DAR for my game of Crodaburg I'm playing Martyr (anyone remember HIM??) and we are half way through this atrocity and I just finished numbering turn 103. Maybe a bit of overkill, but, well, at least its something... Bad Mace! Bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Leader Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Berlichtingen, if I was a kinder man I would apologize profusely for my error, and if I was a humble man I would point out my shock at receiving this scenario from a senior knight such as yourself after seeing the excellent scenarios at the Cauldron. If I was a remorseful man, I would bow my head in shame at falsely accusing you of creating a crap-fest scenario (thanks again Mace!) and finally, if I was a contrite man I would ask, as a favor, that I be blessed with one of your superb scenarios in order that I might cast my eyes on perfection and offer my Alaskan friend a real scenario. However, being a bastid and a GIT, I only offer you a quiet SOD OFF!. Oh, and same to you, Mensch! Ahem, uh Joe Shaw, I may have a case for you. False accusations galore!

Seanachai Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Berlichtingen: Oh yeah, that's me, the soul of fairness. This village has too many idiots<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I believe, Berli, that Shaw is actually making a valid point, in that the claim of being 'unfairly persecuted' by the Prince of Darkness, is like claiming that 'Peng validated their existence', or some such. I mean, how can a Being dedicated to the temptation, corruption, destruction and ultimate punishment of mortals be found to be 'unfairly persecuting' them? The lad (not Ole Foul Joe, the other lad, Panzer Leader) simply didn't think things through. Mind, he's shown a singular lack of ability in that direction. I may treasure him as a former Squire, but I'm still seeing a doctor about the tendon damage I endured from the repeated beatings I was forced to administer. Now the pillock says he's going off to become a Born Again Virgin. Makes me shudder, and I've read dozens and dozens of posts from Rommel22, Colonel Dead_Marsh, and Fieldmarshall, so I know what the true face of idiocy looks like. Panzer Leader, lad, don't stop at merely not playing CMBO any more. To truly prepare yourself for the pleasures to come, fast, spend hours on your knees on stone floors, and scourge yourself. When you stop doing these things, the pleasure you will feel playing CMBB will probably immediately rip you free of this existence, and send you into the afterlife. Mind, when you get there, try explaining to Berli's henchmen that you're being 'unfairly persecuted' when they jab a boar spear up your arse and march you to the hottest part of the pit. Even the damned need a good laugh now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
