Ali Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Santa didn't leave me without presents Thanks for all the organizers, sponsors and my fellow gamers who made this excellent tournament possible. See you all in CMBB... Cheers, Ali 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Boris has at last been heard from, bearing the sad tidings that he didn't get the last turn I sent him. Fate and I are trying to determine whether or not he's current on turns from me. Resent turns to both. Tero has apparently been abducted by aliens.

Holien Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 JK I think you will find that Tero is in fact an Elf and rather busy in Finland at the moment helping Santa to full fill his orders from all the kids around the world.

WineCape Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Roger. I have received both Ali and KR's e-mails wishing for a red wine in toto XMAS wish list. I'll send you my recommendation during this week gentlemen. Please remember that the wines will be send via snailmail (postage, i.e. 12 weeks transit), so it will be a very late XMAS gift for your brilliant efforts. The 6-box wine cartons will be insured, and you might pay some duties, if at all. I'll mark it as a "GIFT" anyway, so if the Postmaster had a nice cup of coffee in the morning come when the parcels arrive at his beloved Post Office, he might just let you receive the wines without filling in too much paper work. Await my reply gents! Congratulations again. KR, I thank you for your kind counter-offer of some Aussie great reds, but if you taste some SA wines and compare the brilliant pricing of SA wines, you might just find that the scales have tipped ever so slightly in favour of the SA vino.

John Kettler Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Boris and I appear to be back on track. Three turns to go! Fate got the turn I resent, but I'm unsure whether he sent one in reply. Why? I couldn't get Netscape to work today (crashes immediately), and AOL autocorrupts game files. It barely works either. Tero's still AWOL. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Boris and I mutually annihilated each other this turn in a concentrated slaughter the likes of which I've never seen before in CMBO. Sixty seconds of force vaporization! Am continuing the trend. Sent orders in my bloodbath against Fate. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Still more slaughter in the latest from Boris. Sent him the movie to see what he wants done next. He's way too close for my comfort. Fate and I have reduced each other to human chutney, but the fight goes on. The next turn will be important.

John Kettler Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 The battle against Boris is a done deal, in that final orders have been issued and sent. The final movie remains unseen, as does the butcher's bill. Am hoping Boris will send it back before departing for his two weeks of Florida vacation. Got something from Fate but will have to get Netscape to connect before I can see the latest iteration of exsanguination.

Treeburst155 Posted December 19, 2002 Author Share Posted December 19, 2002 How come I get this vivid mental image of John playing CM on a computer with a blood spattered monitor, keyboard, and mouse? Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Because it's a pretty accurate description of the virtual horror! The latest movie from Fate only enhances the ghastliness, so I sent it back. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Tero's reappeared! Evidently I didn't get the last turn he sent me a week ago. Go figure! Have resent him my last turn, and wonder of wonders, it actually went out on Netscape when I hit Send. This is the first time it's worked since November 8th.

John Kettler Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Netscape's not sending E-mail today, but I actually got the final movie and screen from Boris. Will send Game Report to Treeburst155, since Boris is now out of town. This marks the completion of my first game in the RoW II Finals. Still need to write the AAR, though. Fate and I have three turns left, and I issued orders for the next turn. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Tero and I are back on track at last. Watched a movie and issued orders. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 20, 2002 Author Share Posted December 20, 2002 It's good to see your opponents have not given up, John. Fight On!! Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Tero and I tore a strip from each other this turn. Sent him the movie as proof. Fate and I sent more good men to untimely deaths this turn, with more scheduled (his, I hope) for the next. If the seismic model is appropriate, something may be on the verge, for AOL crashed twice while sending a turn and Netscape took four tries to connect.

John Kettler Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Fate and I actually had a blood free turn. Cause? Mutual exhaustion! Sent him the restful movie. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 22, 2002 Author Share Posted December 22, 2002 No carnage?!?! It's against the tourney rules for units to become exhausted before dying. Fight on, I tell you, FIGHT ON!! Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Final orders issued in the macerator against Fate. Untold horrors ordered unleashed in the next turn against Tero. I fully expect I'll get similar presents in reply. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 I did quite well in the gift exchange. In fact, many of Tero's gift givers have permanently, er, departed. No final movie yet from Fate. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 22, 2002 Author Share Posted December 22, 2002 Macerators and horrors....that's more like it. Whew, I thought you were losing your fighting edge for awhile there, John. Fight On!! Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 No loss of fighting spirit, but combat resources are scarce, moreso since we shot each other up this turn. Also apparently scarce are basic math skills. This turn was the penultimate turn, not the previously reported ultimate turn. I get to sweat out yet another one. Nothing from Tero so far.

Fate Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 In the museum of the hard to believe, I'm finished all my games, including the Famed Defense of the Heavy Schnapps Plant. Kudos to John K. for perservering and maintaing a sense of humour during his connection dificulties. Treeburst, when John sends the results in, could you send me a copy of the results thus far? kirkcm@telus.net 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 The final turn against Fate has been played, but I have no idea a) what happened or who won. Maybe it'll all come into focus when I see the tally and map. What I saw was beyond weird, and that was after watching it twice.

Kanonier Reichmann Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Well John, it seems clear that Fate feels that you have lost since he's requesting you to send the results to Mike. It appears that "fate" has worked against you this time. What I'm particularly looking forward to are your typically vivid and comprehensive AAR's to follow. Regards Jim R.
