Joe Shaw Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 As to the bolding of names, Berli has it ALMOST right. He is quite correct, and I have made it plain, that the decision to Bold or not is up to the individual. I encourage it as it shows respect for the CessPool. In MY case, I choose to Bold the names of Olde Ones (in fact, as you can see, I feel that the title Olde One itself should be bolded), Knights, Officials AND SQUIRES! It is my feeling that once a person has reached the rank of Squire they should be accorded SOME measure of respect for having attracted the notice of a Knight. Serfs are NOT bolded and SSNs are right out of course. In addition, it has long been a policy of mine to correctly spell the names of those whose names I bold. Exceptions to the rule, Berli and Peng mostly, are done through common usage. Have I mentioned that SSNs are right out? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanns Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Dear CMSplatter, Most of my posts to the 'Pool are from work where I am bereft of CM:BO. I can only process turns at home after I go to the bar and barring the presence of young ladies in my domicile. Squid Pro Timpani (or some other incomprehensible Latin legalese) you get you turns in order of your importance in life, e.g., et al, et cetera last! Since I have a real life and you rank (and are rank) below the mildew in my shower or the dust bunnies under the bed you're gonna have to wait ya git. Blubber like a baby with filled diapers in need of a good, swift kick to the head and I'll ignore you more. To my other erstwhile opponents rest easy that you'll get your turns before CMSputterer but after I get my bed fixed and the dirty clothes picked up. To my most noble and kind Liege, Sir Lars, uhh... turns being sent right away your lordship. Is there anything else I can do? Kick a few SSNs in the teeth or somefink? Figure out a way to draw and quarter Donkeydumb using hamsters? Hanns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shaw Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Hiram, dead serious lad, Nicorette Gum! Every time I quit I did it with the gum. Now mind to READ the instructions. The first time I tried it I figured, "HEY, I KNOW how chew gum." ... it was the WALKING and chewing that ... never mind. The point, you see, is that you should chew it UNTIL IT STARTS TO TINGLE, then you "Park" it (I'm not kidding, that's what the instructions say) in your cheek for a bit and then chew some more. If you don't, if you just munch down like it's Double Bubble or something ... it'll feel like it's eating a hole in your tongue. Highly recommended, and now it's in User Friendly Orange flavor they say. The other stuff was fairly foul and gave you a reason to STOP chewing the gum, at least that was my impression. Good luck, lad, it's worth it. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_Hiram Sedai Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Hiram’s Long Anticipated Game Updates Here is a bone for you festering knob tugging, teen ogling, Peng sickophants. I’m only playing two games against Cesspool inhabitants but they are quality games I tell ya!! Warm up your printer and get set to displace the pictures that your offspring created on your respective fridges. Here is why we play the game, boys and girls. Elvis His existence is a taunt to me. Every single time I read the word “dear” in a post, it heckles me. I do hope he has some spare plants around for me to pee in when I visit the King of South Philly abode during the Superbowl party. It would seem that I am automatically invited once more because he mistakenly let me into his place last year. Will he ever learn? Speaking of learning (I am Mister Segway!! Tremble before my incontinent verbosity) We are playing a cute little battle thingy via PBEM and I am purposely NOT doing all the things I used to do. It’s a struggle to not telegraph my moves and send my dudes piecemeal. He is Polish and defending while I am, uh….not Polish and attacking…sort of. I’m struggling not to do my patented Hiram Lemming Attack Pattern where I pick a point on the map and send one unit at a time until I have nothing left and then he threatens to take my girlfriend and my stereo. You’ll get my stereo over my cold, rotting, oddly hirsute corpse, Nissan Boy!! Anyway…he is probably winning because he is Elvis and I am not. Croda We are playing yet another one of his creations. This is not the traffic accident that Crodaburg is and for that I am grateful. He is German and defending while I am not German and not…uh defending. I know that deep within the bowls of his defense he is hiding some of those UberVolksSpankenLickenGrubers. They are 8 feet tall and can kill a Sherman by sneezing at it. Each of his platoons has 21 ubervolk per squad and his machine guns have approx 500 rounds. I could have sworn that one of his German dudes answered to the name of Andreas and that is what truly frightened me because there is no one more Uber than omniscient Andreas. Croda has already killed one of my Shermans because of a head cold that one of his ubermenschen has. Gesunheidt, ya bastige!! Edited because of fallacies derived from inherent fallibilities found in a primative clime.

Now if you really want to do me a favor, you can come over and b*tch-slap one of my tenants. Seems she decided last night was a good time to get drunk and beat up her children. For the rest of you lot (and Hanns, you’re welcome to hit them too), turns will go out after this situation has been resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
