Lars Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Australia primed to be yanked into US Advantages of American statehood for Australia: *Access to the world's best higher education system – {God knows they need that}. THE RULES then, short and sweet: S) Go away. O) Go even further away. D) {***sigh***} If you’re still reading this, you’re still too close. But if you insist, PAY ATTENTION!, or go away. O) This is the Peng Challenge. Challenge someone SPECIFIC, just make sure it’s not Peng. Try a newbie SSN such as yourself, not a Knigget or an Old One. If you don’t know what a SSN, Knigget, or Old One is, go away. F) The key word being CHALLENGE, sound off like you have inherited a pair from someone other than your pet hamster. If you can’t manage this, go away. F) Do not sound off about your pair. Try to act like you have a modicum of wit, style and panache OR Half of a Brain. If you won’t keep this thought in your Half of a Brain, we will boot it to the other Half, and you will go away. !) If you have any questions at all, post absolutely NOTHING! We will get back to you at our earliest inconvenience. And go away (are you starting to see a trend here?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Radley Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 * Fielding teams in the US national basketball, baseball and gridiron competitions. The entertainment factor of just seeing an Aussie basketball team would alone be worth it. Not to mention that it would by default become the largest state, shutting up those snooty Alaskans and dropping Texas to a dismal third. No downside there.

Number of trailer parks? Hmmmm, little gadfly? Who does this one belong to, anyway? I know he shucked and jived his way out of becoming a squire to kornpone, thereby dodging one massive bullet, unfortunately, but does anyone claim responsibility now? Is he a stray?

Joe Shaw Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Was anyone else stupid enough to actually run that idiotic program that Geier sent to some of us?

Ah yes, one can always count on the good Radley to filter through the sewage to find the golden ring. Alas, I had hoped to be squired to someone from Ohio that had absolutely no comprehension or literary ability. Someone who on the IQ scale would register below belly-button lint. Someone whose postings gave the same emotion that comes from seeing your dog unload his Alpo on the carpet. Someone whose name rhymes with YOU Did it happen?

Joe Shaw Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I don't know, the more I think about this game the more I think that Geier may actually be onto something. Tired of click fest games, then Progress Quest is for you. Annoyed with having to micro-manage your characters, then Progress Quest is for you. Testy from trying to remember complicated rulesets, then Progress Quest is for you. Here's a segment of the rules: Game controls Progress Quest belongs to a new breed of "fire and forget" RPG's. There is no need to interact with Progress Quest at all; it will make progress with you or without you. You can quit Progress Quest by using the window close box, or by hitting <Alt>-<F4> (hold down the <Alt> key while hitting <F4>), but there is really little need to ever do so. Please note that your character will not make any progress except when Progress Quest is running. Your character will make no progress once you quit the program, until you start Progress Quest again. Keyboard quick reference Key Description Alt-F4 Exit Progress QuestAs you can see ... it's the PERFECT game for Australians.
