rleete Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Hey, dalem, don't blame me. I was just quoting the Bard, and you know how verbose he can get. Never just uses one word when he can type a dozen to say the exact same thing. You'd think he was under the same contract as Charles Dickens. But your point is well taken, as that does seem to get to the root of the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriarty Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I, too, am playing Leeo, but contrary to some of the assertions made here, I have found him to be polite and very considerate in his e-mails and tactically correct in his selection and use of forces. Almost, dare I say, groglike in the precision and effectiveness that he brings to the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeo Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Damnit Moriarty, I told you I would take you to task for calling me sportsmanlike. Send in the Cromwells, damn you, and let's do the dance 'o armored death in the fog. I didn't want to do this, but I'm afraid I'll have to call you a "fair" and "upstanding" opponent yourself! How do you like them apples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Uber General Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 This calls for a new tourney - a challenge to push gameyness to new heights. 2000pt QB's, players may pick anything, from any nationality. The AAR's would be gold, pure gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeo Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Sir Uber General, Your Sig is a hoot. A down-right, spotted-owl-in-a-beaten-barrel hoot. I'm a grogly man and I'm ok, I find fine facts, and I post all day. I look in books, I peruse sites, I go to the lib-ra-ry. I'd like to play all gamey, but it's not my cup 'o tea. I'm a groggly ma...

Sir Uber General Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Leeo, you are too kind. I just cant make it sound right when I read it back... but you get the picture Who's up for the Gamey-Nation-Tourney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGSF Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I played a long time CM friend (non-Pooler) in a couple of games, one where we each selected 256 units (anything of anything) and another where we each had 10,000 points to spend. Meeting engagements. Basically they turned into him with a stadium full of 14" artillery spotters, and me with a Detroit load of King Tigers. That naval artillery will do yer every time!

So, here's to ya, Leeo! Glad to offer some educational info to this debate. BTW, Croda is a Leeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goanna Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Actually, I think Croda and Leeo or some other carefully selected pair of "Natural Killers" (do a search now, there's a good lad) should be required to do an AAR like this periodically to smoke out the recto-cranial inversionaries so that they can be properly identified, classified, studied for things like chronic daily intake of lead, then summarily beaten with the brick until they stop quivering, sent to Coventry and had someone around to collect any and all computer hardware available at their domicile. My bet is that ICS is really just Losername posting under a new ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
