Nidan1 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 But then again it may be....pay no attention to that last one. Rules are simple....if you're an SSN, just keep your mouth shut awhile and figure things out. If you are capable of that...then challenge someone of your own lowly ranking....if you can't realize how low that really is, then just SOD OFF. Don't come in here spouting like a beached whale, say something with panache, use the language as it was meant to be used, but refrain from expletives, and other verbage that would truly alert us to your lack of wit. Be always polite to the LADIES OF THE POOL, and do not incur their wrath. That said....just SOD OFF!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 Lovely morning.....left the thread last night to get out some turns....got distracted and didnt pop back in till now. Seems like a bit of a dust up has occurred, that to say the least... I'm not an Olde One , nor a long time regular, but I have been around for a couple of years, and I do have something to say.....it seems that we all have been on somewhat of a political and personal tight rope these last months. Now I don't claim to have the type of personal relationships that some of you have with each other, but I have played games and chatted with a lot of you for a couple of years, so I'll put in my two cents on that basis, if you don't like it, too bad, then mine will be the only post in here. Let's keep the politics and personal likes and dislikes out of here...save that for the GF if you must. We all have strong feelings about things, and sometimes find ourselves on opposite sides of issues....fine....thats what the ability to debate freely which our society gives us. I have always though that what is said in here, should always be taken with a grain of salt...if that is no longer true...then we should close up shop....if our feelings get hurt in here, then maybe we should suck it up for a time, and let it pass....if that's not possible, then take it off line. This Thread is open to anyone wanting to come in and deal with its unique nonsense, if their are personal issues between Pengersdon't air them here...work them out or don't...your choice, but please don't expose the rest of us to it. We all have our ideals about what this Thread should or should not be, but it is really only the collective typings of a bunch of folks with a common interest, and enjoyment of fun and wargaming. Personalities come and go, but the core of this Thread remains, regardless of who is posting at any one time. Let us not cause the demise of the MBT on account of perceived or otherwise emnities. But if that is the goal, then so be it. I am sure their are loads of posters on this Forum that would rejoice in our self-destruction.

**YK2** Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 *Picks herself up, brushes dust off and steps over debris* How the hell did Seanacoochie get in here? *Kick* I'll sort you out later.... I had a very restless night and would just like to point out I was NOT upset because someone forgot my birthday... Although I think that is now more than clear. Thanks to EVERYONE for all the mail and messages and of course Birthday wishes.... It took a hell of a lot of pushing, and lots of deliberation, but Nidan was good enough to start this NEW MBT... So... I'm not too proud to step in and say.... Nice place you got here... Now where the hell is that dalem got to... I need a drink. P.S. from you know who... SeanachaiBard: WELL SOMEONE COULD ADD THAT THE GNOME IS GOING FECKING NUTS NOT BEING ABLE TO POST! SeanachaiBard: And that he will return. And pour oil upon the waters. And then set it on fire. SeanachaiBard: And dance around it while it burns. SeanachaiBard: With, perhaps, a 'hey nonny nonny'. SeanachaiBard: I'm so tired I'm seeing Berlis and Pengs. Must sleep. Sleep well Steve....

Or perhaps it was just a bad dream. Serves me right for eating nachos and marmelade whilst watching a Tobe Hooper film fest before retiring for the evening.

rune Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Nidan1 , May I be the first to say "Shut up and taunt somebody, lad!" I won't be the last, but hey, I got the first in. May I suggest Boo ? You work and work to get someone a mortal enemy, and he gives up like that to get a wet....err.....pipe dream. Boo , you know know the girl from Alias IS married? Now, if Boo and you should decide to lock horns, I will send the latest version of the Kiwi scenario [down Mace , I hid the sheep]. Go back to your regularly scheduled taunting and AARs.

But if that is the goal, then so be it. I am sure their are loads of posters on this Forum that would rejoice in our self-destruction. Nidan Your post was well written and well said. I think you are correct that the MBT is a concept more than anything else. This concept is a beautiful thing and I would not be an agent in it's demise. That being said, I would like to add the following: 1) Seanachai You are one of the best posters on this Forum. Your wit and style are of the highest caliber. You are someone that is looked up to, by more than you would imagine. I would offer my hand in apology to you for some unkind remarks that were made. You are a human like the rest of us, and it was wrong of me to think otherwise. 2) Mr Peng I shall retain my new sig line as a reminder that this Forum is made up of human beings and that as human beings we will all make mistakes on occaisions. 3) YK2 Happy (belated) Birthday! Do not ever think of leaving this Thread. You have amply demonstrated the wit and laughter that are prerequisites to being here. You have nothing to prove to anyone. 4) Jow Shaw I would beg you to reconsider your decision and return to posting. Your Justicar is as vital to the Thread as the Olde Ones. You are the necessary foil of one trying to keep order in an orderless Thread and your frustration in dealing with it is one of the funniest themes of the Thread I have said my piece and will now return to "lurk status".

Jim Boggs Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 So I lied! I will leave you with the following: GAMEY UPDATES!!!! Boo The Blood Hamster fight continues, the rainy night air is filled with the delightful screams of retreating Boosters. In his favor, he has managed to blow up two houses in spectactular fashion. Did I mention they were empty? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Lurkur He is certainly well named. We are on turn 15 of 30 and just now are his troops coming into sight. My sleepy Italians are rousing themselves to administer an Italian *BOOT* to Lurk's slimey, limey buttocks. Joe Shaw Joe has entrenched at his starting location, smiling smugly to himself in his tactical brilliance. "But Joe", I says, "We're playing a Meeting Engagement" and of course to rune: What the he** were you thinking giving me a 155 FO with visibility of 60 meters???? Were you watching M*A*S*H? You believe that suicide is painless? Yours is a sick mind. But then what else is new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Abuse I get from a lackluster names like Nidan1 , what, were Nidan 2 and Nidan 3 already taken? Scenario will be mailed out once I get home. In the meantime, I suggest you play the Germans in it. Now you must wonder, did I give you the more powerful side, or perhaps, in a fit of pity for Boo , and trust me, Boo is as sorrowful as it gets, I gave you the weaker side? Is there a weaker side? These are all thoughts that a normal person would have, in your case, go with the pink frilly dress. Boo , look for the latest version this afternoon. May the scenario cause you both much pain...

rune Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Oh look, the Boggsy twins at the seashore. Sometimes real life is stranger then fiction. Maybe that is why he got the medal of honor for that night? However, I give you at least a little credit for knowing the name of the theme song to M*A*S*H. Nice to know you are keeping current with 70s TV shows. Is that all you get in your trailer park?

Aces_and_8's Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 What a grand and glorious day...by the way, a belated happy birthday YK2, hope the booze was flowin and many great presies were laid at your feet. Here's to a two day hangover *raises glass of locally procured rotgut* ...Today I got to visit my very good friends at the Traffic Management Office. In exactly one month all my trash will be Westward bound, followed by myself. 34 days folks, 34 days and I will be departing this hell-hole known as Frederick, MD winging my way to the great state of Calee-fourn-i-aaaaye. Maybe I will stop by the world's biggest ball of twine, maybe I will stop by the Fitzgerald Theater in St Paul to catch A Prairie Home Companion, maybe I will stop in Donner's Pass and regail my children with stories of cannabilism, feign an auto breakdown, and announce, "I'm sorry kids, but looks like you're the main course. No hard feelings, and dont worry, mom and I can always make more." The possibilities are limitless, except Ohio. Flat and featureless, much like Boo's brain, I think we will be skipping that state. Is it still a state, or has it reverted to territorial status? Its so hard to keep up with these things now-a-days. I get all warm and tingley just thinking about the upcoming road trip. Yes, the Aces' clan could be stopping soon at a town near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Boggsy , You weren't on a TV show that featured three women who couldn't act their way out of a paper bag, were you? Or was the character just named after you? However, if you are Germans, you might try USING THE TRP. I know this is a new and foreign concept for you, like tactics, or teaching Boo to use HQs as spotters for mortars, but I still hold hope for you. May I suggest going to the East side of your state, waiting for a riptide to go tubing? Let us know when you reach Europe... Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune You do realize that I'm playing the surrounded American force don't you? The ones, who in real life mostly got killed? You do realize that, don't you? Or are you even denser than the concrete headed ninny I took you for? Oh, and while I'm at it, thanks ever so for deciding what I will be playing in my next battle with Nidan. They don't keep you very busy out there at the work farm, do they? Let's see, I'm playing about a half dozen Rune scenarios right now, each of them...oh, how can I say this without seeming too critical...each of them just awful. And when I finish one of the little nightmares, thinking that the next one can't be any worse, that at some point, a little sliver of reality will pierce the fog of your Dali-esque mind set, I get another little addled gift from your mushroom soaked consciousness. (By the way, just between you, me and the hidden microphone, how many Sturm Tigers did you give Lars in our little sceanario? 12? 37?) Tell you what, CupCake. Do you ever play the game or do you just sit in your padded playpen churning out little meadow muffins for the rest of us to slip in? Howsabout if I send YOU a scenario to play test? How would that fit into the comfy little delirium you call home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Boo , Nope, being involved with getting a small stinky rodent to work, I don't have time to play, and the scenario I am working on may be the last for a while. [insert cheers here] Also being involved with an X project, my free time is also taken up by testing Joint Operations from Novalogic. Once in a while I get to join the Cess patrol and remind them what a real pilot is like.... and actually complete a mission and land with the gear intact. So, no, I don't get a lot of time to test right now, nor have I since CMBB went Alpha. The Madone is too fond of his whip. Now Moon is taking lessons from him too...
