You've never sent me a setup in which you bothered to tell me more than 1 out of 3 of the various parameters of the match. What goes around, comes around.

Seanachai Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Originally posted by Delaney: Thank-you for that gracious welcome, Persephone. It appears it is P.L. who needs the help of Seanachi.Welcome, gracious Lady. I've done what I could to help your husband, but he has been a great trial to me. I have championed him, by taking him as Squire. I've attempted to teach him, and direct anger from him by, for a time, amusingly re-naming him 'Mouse'. I've pounded him in private emails. I have remonstrated with him, both gently, and with more feeling, to be less of an aggressive lackwit, and more of a figure that will win the admiration of all. This process has been met, I might say, with mixed results. On the one hand, your husband is still given to almost unbelievably stupid flights of idiocy. On the other hand, even Berli said to me, a short while ago, 'That stupid little bastard is starting to grow on me. I think. I still don't like him much.' You are most welcome here, Delaney. If you desire to be a part of our strange little...community, please apply to Persephone, or YK2, for a companion in curious misery. Alternatively, seek the friendship of Yeknod. There's something so...solid, about a donkey. They may twitch the ear, and give you a phlegmatic look of occasional misery, but they won't let you down. While I much doubt you need any real defending, please be aware that not ONE, SINGLE, USELESS SWINE will give you any real trouble. We have rules, you see. Most of them are so much ****e, but a few are inviolable. If anyone annoys you, simply say so. Then let us know if you're the sort of woman who actually wants the ears, or the sort who feels it's enough to know they've been removed. Painfully. With a knife that's as sharp as the wit of Panzer Leader. You, if anyone, should understand how brutal that must be. Tell the truth. Is PL actually funny when you two are brightly conversing?

Joe Shaw Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 I would direct everyone to the following, which may well be the best thing Seanachai (a.k.a. He Who Has Promised A Setup But Has Failed To Deliver) has ever written ... mind that wouldn't be difficult since most of what he writes is just cutting and pasting of obscure Celtic songs: <a href="http://http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=23;t=003355" target="_blank"> Seanachai's Rationale</a> Berli, for example, took my carping about the game we're playing as an attempt to get out of the game and into another that would favor me. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's not whether you win or lose but how you place the blame, that's my motto. If you don't have an excuse then your inevitable defeat will be ... well, YOUR fault won't it? I'm currently in my Scenario mode in which I blame all losses on the unbalanced scenario. At some times I drift into a Gamey mode that blames the gamey tactics of my opponent and at others I will determine that the period simply doesn't favor either the Germans or the Russians ... depending upon whom I'm playing. But two things are paramount, BE CONSISTENT. Shifting from one excuse to another during the course of a game just shows that you can't make up your mind. Furthermore it can be confusing to switch so it's best to stay with one excuse for a given period of time. Second, BE CONSTANT. Just mentioning the excuse in passing once will hardly gain you any credibility, you must pound it home time after time. If nothing else it will annoy your opponent, and isn't that REALLY what it's all about?

Boo Radley Posted November 16, 2002 Author Share Posted November 16, 2002 I think hell must be a lot like sitting in a restaurant with a screaming kid right behind you. Either that, or having to listen to Aussie Jeff whine on and on because a couple of the eight dozen tanks he's pummeling you with have bogged down. It's a toss up.

Guest PondScum Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 The blockbuster SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER horror movie of the year: "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID ON HILL 312" Starring AussieJeff's red-shirt squads Scene 1: a trench on a hill. Red-shirt squad: "I know, I'll leave the trench!" Audience: "Nooo! I've seen this bit before! Don't leave the trench! You'll be cut down in seconds! DON'T LEAVE THE TRENCH!" Red-shirt squad: "Ok boys, let's gAARRRGGGGHHHH" Audience: "Ewwww messy, I think I'm gonna be sick" Scene 2: another trench on the hill. As before. Repeat until out of red-shirt squads, or until audience can't take it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
