37mm Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 People, hear yee, hear yee I am a faithful & honourable squire of my liege Boo Radley of the House of Morse. I know that many new faces browse through our cursed home, the cesspool They may be frightened nay horrified by the likes of dalem and shocked that we accept ‘lawyers’ like MrSpkr into our bosom… I say unto you… let fear not quench your curiousness Dive in for it is warmer hear than one would expect However before tresspassing be warned for there are rules to any place and this place is no exception… First and foremost I would like to say… Sod off Secondly and with much regret I beseech thee to… Sod off Thricely and with great relish I ask… why have thee not sodden off? Fourthly this is a place for challenges but not any challenge will do. Nay, we could all challenge each other to see who can, say, hit Lars the hardest or who can put up with stickypiss for the longest but these challenges will not do. Here the challenge must be in the form of a Combat Mission Fifthly the challenges must be made with wit, style, panache and at least a shred of dignity. It is strongly advised that ye act as if thy precious jewels are most humongous but ye must not necessarily say this directly. Sixthly though this is a place for challenges those challenges must preferably be amongst equals, as such a newbie or SSN must challenge someone suitably awful and do so with his or her address on display. A squire (unless he is of a particularly high potential like myself) must not challenge a Knight. All Knights must be respected, even more so if it is an olde one or the Justicar Seventhly it is not only a rule but considered very wise to show respect to the ladies of the pool for they are fickle and cruel beyond reason. However many mistakes have occurred especially with so many effete people around here so a handy bit of advice is 'if thee hear one who seems most powerful but confident enough to not brag about it then ye have probably met a lady' Eighthly and most importantly of all, ye must keep your petty bigotries outside these walls if ye have a problem with someone’s race*, creed, class or religion then you face a far worse fate than Coventry (which is our own place of punishment). Finally I ask ye all to provide entertainment to us all and to the olde ones & knights in particular… they are mostly ancient and very little brings them pleasure. As such try your best and soon you'll learn all the other countless minor rules, regulations & rituals (for full details call at joe.shaw@comcast.net) & ask thyself … “what is the worst that can happen?” PS The answer is of course “I could be asked to Sod off” PPS Alternatively you could be forced to communicate with Nidan1 but then again such communications usually end in his surrender so… * The exception is a race of people known as the Australians these can be mocked at will; it isn’t bigotry if it’s so obviously true… [ November 18, 2004, 08:01 AM: Message edited by: 37mm ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 To BOOT, or not to BOOT, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The squawking and aggravations of a outraged Justicar, Or to take flamethowers against a host of Squires, And by flaming, end them?

dalem Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 My thread titles are way better. Then again, I am the Master of Atomic Persiflage and the Lord High Hullabalooster of the MBT. Thanks for the compliment Mace, ya nong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpkr Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Can we replace him with an Arbiter? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37mm Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Ahh but Lars tis only to ask if we should impeach worthy of a BOOT for remember I never (never would dream of) actually proposed that we should do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Weasel words, but you're learning fast. However, a bit of advice. Before aiming at the Justicar, it's sorta traditional to stab your sponsor in the back first. I mean, really, he's probably sobbing quietly to himself right now. And will be for a long time I suppose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Boy, what a fun day this has been. Pouring rain, being too soon for class. Spending the better part of 4 hours pushing a button and turning a light switch on and off. Oh well at least I hadn't patched. For you see I had a dream..a vision in which I foresaw this problem. I saw more than that and I will be releasing my book of predictions, it will be available for €9,95 and you will buy it, it's predestined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shaw Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I repeat ... he's a Squire, Squires don't start threads, only KNIGHTS start threads ... Boo Radley this is YOUR fault ... as usual. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moraine Sedai Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 However, you shan't deny he's done a better job than most of late with the rules and all. Frightening, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croda Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Rules, shules. What happened to good old vitriol? 'Hate and be hated' was the Cesspool I once knew. Has everyone begun dressing like gnomes and singing campfire songs 'neath the old Willow tree? The New Peng Challenge Thread! If there's too much Combat in your Combat Mission, come here to lay on a comfy couch and whittle a walking stick. Daft buggers...you're even letting someone post currency in Euros! Any decent Penger knows that we only deal in Gold Bullion here. It's evident that this thread has been lacking true leadership of late. Someone may have to change that...

Boo Radley Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Ah, I remember my first Thread. Such a heady experience! There I was, newly made a Kanigget by M'Lud Croda. He looked at me with a twinkie* in his eye and said, "Screw this up and I'll stick the BOOT in so far your breath will smell like shoe polish." it was a long time before my mouth felt minty fresh again. Joe, I understand your distress and I take full responsibility for the actions of my Squire, 37mm, for is it not often said, "Birds of a feather are just a bunch of flockers"? And where would we be, any of us, if that were not true, eh? But the lad has such a fiery spirit and is so full of Moxie, Flopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter, that at times it seems best to give him his head. I know you would say, "On a platter!", Joe, but remember, we all were young once and we all cut capers and had larks and spent our fair share of time behind bars living in fear of THE MAN. You remember those times, don't you Joe? (*When it came to cake based snack foods, M'Lud's hand-eye coordination was literal and always amusing.)

Full responsibility he SAYS, but full responsibility he does not MEAN! A PROPER Liege Lord would see to it that CORRECTION was applied when errors were made. That's right Boo Radley I speak now of the ***BOOT***. Spare the rod and spoil the fishing, that's what I always say. Now if the error was YOUR'S ... in that you did not properly instruct young 37mm, then I fully expect, AS DOES THE BODY OF THE CESSPOOL, that you will STILL apply the ***BOOT*** as this will further instruct young 37mm that error is not tolerated ... even if it's YOUR error and HIS posterior. Failing that you MAY apply the ***BOOT*** to YOURSELF ... that could be worth a giggle or two. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiram Sedai Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 If Joe is giggling and Roo Badly has minty breath, has the world turned topsy turvy? I wonder if Berli will now sing some jolly sing songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalem Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Croda, always rest assured that my hate for you runs deep, runs fast, and runs true as a sharpened I-beam lanced straight through your wretched black heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I merely stated that seeing Boo try to give himself the ***BOOT would be WORTH a giggle ... those who choose to giggle, not that there's anything wrong with that, may giggle, others may not. Don't you have some glue fingerprints to apply to your tank? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakthrough Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 As a respected member of the CM community, I must caution you all not to panic over the 1.02 debacle. I say two player hot set play is the future of CM! Call out to your neighbor in the cardboard box next to yours and have him over for wine (Boones Farm Apple) and CMAK.
