Zarquon Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I just read a thread mentioning clown tanks in CM. I like the phrase. I like silly ideas. What about the Semi-Official CM Clown Tank Mod Contest? There are so many fevered modder minds out there, it would be a shame not to abuse this pool of creativity for a totally useless, silly and ridiculous means. Without a contest, the world might never see: </font>The Groucho Marx Anniversary Sherman </font>The Groucho Marx Anniversary Sherman</font>The Flower Power Wirbelwind</font>The Spanish Inquisition Tiger</font>The IBM Nashorn</font>The M8 Greyhound, Western Style</font>(insert silly tank here) </font>Now, we've seen Coca Cola Trucks before, so that one is out. As a prize, I'd be willing to donate, let's say, US $5 from my meager PayPal account to the winner, to be determined by popular vote in this forum after 4 weeks. $5 is merely the monetary equivalent of (click, click...) ~30 new CBMM vehicles. No real incentive, so if anyone else has cash to spend on something useless as this, please reply to this post. Jörg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarquon Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 C'mon people, the Grand Promised Prize is still at $5. We can't call this a contest unless we get some more people to waste money on this. A bottle of cheap gin, maybe? Who can tell what lunatic ideas are out there, waiting to be modded? The Royal Beefeater Wasp, The Completely Invisible Daimler (is this possible?), The Charlton Heston 250/8... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrewolf Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Anyone know if 'They' gonna provide the modder community with BMPs listing for all the in-game models cause this would help a lot. I am sure they have such list lying somewhere. [ September 11, 2002, 08:06 PM: Message edited by: Sabrewolf ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 As a Marx-ophile, I'd have to say that the Groucho Marx Sherman is a splendid idea. Makes me wish I was a modder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Originally posted by Zarquon: The Completely Invisible Daimler (is this possible?)Heh, easiest one, actually. Any modder could do you one in less than two minutes, if he knew which files. Pity I don't do vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarquon Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 1) I'd hate to see this thread become subverted by Marxism, but I just found that Marx was a Marxist himself - at least the FBI suspected him to be : The smoking Gun 2) Isn't it possible (or even obvious) that the Sherman Firefly was named after Rufus T. Firefly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarquon Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 Read it yourself : Duck Soup I like the scene where he appoints Chicolini Secretary of War. This alone adds a lot of credibility to the Sherman-Groucho-Firefly connection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
