Lars Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Almost forgot, The forces of Papa Kahn have been soundly defeated. The gamey sod had SMG squads and Halftracks backed up by Tigers and Jagdpanzer IV's, all hiding behind or in buildings. I had a couple of T-34's and a company of Ivans. He never had a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH Not so fast there AussieJeff {Joe looks around frantically for a loophole, ANY loophole} ... uh, OH right, not so fast there AussieJeff, exactly WHAT were the requirements for Knighthood? I mean normally it's up the Knight to proclaim the requirements, but in YOUR case it would likely be something akin to "Say Lenakonrad ... seen my second best spurs anywhere?". In YOUR case, of course, that would be equivilant to sending someone on a search for the Holy Grail. Actually in HIS case it would probably be the same. SO ... what EXACTLY was the task you set for him ... chapter and verse, lad, full details and all that. Can't have slipshod paperwork you know. Whew! That was close ... with luck he'll forget all about this Knighthood for lenakonrad while he's trying to figure out how to "slipshod" something. Joe Bloody stickler for fine details.. *whips a beautiful gold inlaid Handy Dandy Handbook out of his Book Of Rites holster* AHEM!! *coff* "AussieJeff's Pilot Guide On How To Become A Fully Fledged Kaniggett" Chapter 34: "Special Tasks/Requirements" Verse xiv: Whomesoever shall be Quire unto the Great Sir Aussiejeff shall be required to undertake the following onerous rites of passage: *Lemme check here what I've marked off and noted ...* {hut!} Wade naked through the pool while standing on your head reciting "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" *CHECK* Damned fine recital too. Couldn't understand a word... {g whizz} Declare your utter Faithfulness, for all to see. This MUST annoy the Justicar or no points will be awarded. Double *CHECK*. Well done lad! The steam is STILL rising from his fudge-encrusted ears! {item the second} Read "The Origination Of The Pool Species" by Imag Nome backwards. *CHECK* Has also promised to one day make a movie of "How The Cesspool Was One" complete with miming of obscene gestures - whatever that means. Extra point three of a bonus point. {33 1/3} Bring me the head of no lesser Pooligan than a fellow Squire on a pointy stick *DOUBLECHECK* In fact has gone one better than Quire and delivered Sir Nidan1's empty brainbox on said pointy stick with accompanying plate of SourKraut sidedressing. Top marks, lad!! TESTE RESULTS: Passed with flying colour {white}! Dated: 19 March In The Year Of Our Lord 2003 Signed: Sir Aussiejeff, Liege. Crikey, Joe. I reckon that's more than enough PRIMA FACIE evidence. Now, be a good chap or I'll have to send in the UN to inspect your premises for MISSING TURNS GODAMMIT!!!! AJ ..tap, tap..

Joe Shaw Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 ONE GAME! ONE FREAKING GAME! That's IT? MY Squires are required, and indeed it was the original requirement for ALL Squires, to complete FIVE (5) CessPool games before we raised someone to Knight. Well it just won't do lad, it won't do at all. Let's see a task with some teeth to it, something that will PROVE his worth to the Knights of the CessPool ... as IF ... I see a series of games played with CessPoolers, win or lose doesn't matter of course, it's the thought that counts after all. And he must play as the Dutch in a show of nationalism.

Joe You BLIND AS A BAT IDIOT Joe!!! Let me refer you BACK to page 6 of this thread, to the 4th post from the bottom, and thence to para 2 of that post WHERE I STATE UNEQUIVOCABLY AND UNEDITED THAT SQUIRE LENAKONRAD HAS COMPLETED MORE THAN FIVE GAMES AGAINST MEMBERS OF THE CESSPOOL COGNISENTI. WHICH IS A DAMNED SIGHT MORE GAMES THAN YOU'VE PLAYED IN THE LAST X FRICKIN YEARS IF YOUR CURRENT NON-RATE OF TURNAROUND CAN BE BELIEVED!!!! SHEESH!! Seanachai, I blame YOU for this madness. Your well meaning sing-song has inadvertently confused the poor Justicar and sent him into a bloody incipient tailspin!! So cut the crap already Joe!! That's my LAST offer, or you can have MY ruddy sword back. And it won't be where the sun shines, sunshine. *GRRRRRUMMMMMBBBLLLEEEE* Sir Flamin' MadderThanHellAgain AJ PS: Damned Beaurocrats suck!

Joe Shaw Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Now, now AussieJeff no need to get your knickers in a knot you know. I simply want to be absolutely certain that ALL the T's are crossed and the I's dotted. You certainly wouldn't want ANY tinge of doubt to attend lenakonrad's elevation to Knight would you? So ... with that in mind ... perhaps just answering a few simple questions will put my mind at ease on the subject: {ahem} With whom were the games played? CessPool games, after all, must be played against CessPoolers, SSNs don't count as I'm sure you'll agree. What were the dates of the games? Games played PRIOR to his elevation to Squire are CLEARLY not going to count as I'm sure you'll agree. In what manner, specifically, did he engage in gamey play during each of these games? We OBVIOUSLY can't have a Knight who refuses to indulge in gamey play as I'm sure you'll agree. Where are the AARs of the games played? It is by the AARs that we judge an applicant and we really need to review them for completness and style of taunting as I'm sure you'll agree. There ... hardly a moment's work and it's done eh AussieJeff? While it's true that I'm called the Cudgel of the CessPool it has never been my intention to deny the Knighthood to any TRUE Squire.

Gaylord Focker Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Gamey Updates Lars- locked in a game of deadly bumper cars, my heroic quad .50 on tracks holds the hill while destroying everythnig in sight. Nothing else of note to meantion...yes thats it...oh wait, send a turn! Vadr- He may have had an array of T-34's mixed with light tanks, but my brave light German and Czech tanks brawled at long range in what i turned into a battle of atrition with no winnner....the result was a draw, it apears he is not yet the "master". Nidan1- His scared remenents of his defends lay wounded, hungry and huddled together enough of them have perished for nothing in the battle to leave room for many seats between them, as the lead of the brave attacker fills the air with no mercy or end in sight. Vinokonrad- The fight is on as he squanders his artillary for all to mock,while his army cowers in their hiding places, i have much ground to cover so send out a turn!

Boo Radley Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 My AAR with Aussie Jeff On the battlefront, here. Where are you, AJ??? Are you hiding in the trees? And eating cans of peas? Are you acting like a tease? I will smite you down with ease! We are over here, you Pillock! Resting calmly on a hillock, Just a little closer, Boo.. Then we'll be rid of you. You rumble around in the night I know you want a good fight But I'll be where you expect me least. As you face west, I'll come east. Ha! I know your crazy tricks, Mr Boo, coz' I've seen you monkeying in the zoo, You drive me absolutely bonkers playing 'marbles' with your conkers And your fascination dabbling with your poo. Your tanks are milling all around The position noted by their sound. Look behind you, what do you see? A T-34 and in the hatch is me! Oh no it's not, you fib the most, my men all know that you're a ghost, A figment of your feeble mind, Into the dust your tanks we'll grrrrind. I know your kind, you cricket grog! But googlies won't help you in the fog. For when you feel that fateful tap, I'll knock your silly arse clean off the map! But Boo, you know I'm fair and just You suffer bad from battle lust, Come closer now, I hear your breath, Let Kitties help speed you to death..... Tiger, Tiger in the night. Oh, what a fearsome thing to fight. But I'm not scared and will not flee, For you can't hit what you can't see. Oh, silly Boo - you big, fat git. You think the "night" will stop a hit? My Tigers with their INFRA RED will kill your tankers - dead, dead, DEAD! First contact made! Now watch me fade. Your Panther fires a round that misses I wave "Bye-bye" and blow him kisses. Ach! Tin can schpied at 30 metre, Mein Panzer cannot miss zis cheater? But vot ist zis? Zum krazy bug, make gun dig dirt? Oh, vot der fug!!! Asleep at the switch, were you Fritz? Or were you busy "takink der sh*tz"? You run around, arms akimbo, I'll not leave you long in limbo. Ach! My boys get such a fright! To see the Russkie's "see" at night, Far better than a panthers bino's?? I'll toss this crap and join the wino's... A little secret, I'll have you know And no, don't worry, your tanks don't glow. My men have dined on carrot latkes And drank a bunch of carrot vodkas. Tap, tap - I'm here you gamey rabbit My men are blind - they have a habit It's one that you would never shirk It rhymes with mass debate you jerk! Oooh, you sound so testy Where normally, you're zesty Don't find fault with the Game's many twists, Go find yourself some Optometrists! I'm lost for words - what can I say, The tank "bug" bites again... you blame my eyes for worthless play but you should try MY men! Oh, give it a rest! I ran a test. Your tanks can fight. Even at night! Well waddya know, Boo runs a test to see if Russkies see the best, The findings moot, you see dear reader, My cunning krauts just blast the bleeder! Oh, Jeff is happy That now he finds His optics aint crappy, His men aint blind He fires a shot that kills my tank But I'm the one that he should thank. Thhhhhhhhpppppt! Oh, Comrade Booski! Over here!! Can't you see you silly dear? The tables turned, The worm has too, And now I'm hunting poor, scared, Boo! Alas, weak armor has my number. Even against an opponent who couldn't play dumber. You're ahead, 4 to 2, Though I still have more tanks than you. Oh fie, oh woe, my muse is dead, there ain't more poetry in my head, Boo's gamey tactics gave him a win A hollow victory .. 'tis a sin. Oh fie, oh woe! His use of FOG to gain advantage, what a DOG! With HONOUR, I accept defeat, Till WIN I SHALL ere next we meet.. Your surrender is empty like your head What do you surrender? Your tanks are dead! All that's left is to tally the score, For of your Panthers, there are no more. THE LAST POST: Your "victory" tainted by tactics most foul, I suspect you are bothered by bugs in your bowel, I smell something fishy, oh wait, it's your breath! Be assured Little Boo, next game YOU visit death! THE VERY LAST POST: Oh stiffen your backbone And grow a spleen. It's ONLY a Major Victory EIGHTY ONE TO NINETEEN! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
