Tomorrow is the important day for me, Senegal is playing. I hope that the Turks play to their usual standard, not having made a World Cup since 1954. Once we get by them, it is only a few short steps past Brazil and then defeating South Korea in the final. Ahh, the dreams are alive.

[tesco samoa]

Eee and wistle

that's my vote....

[tesco samoa]

I need a replacement player for the small universe game

The player will play the Draconian Empire

[Gryphin]

Ok, since nobody will vote for the Gerital one, (just to bust the kittys baggies)
I vote for:
The Fluffy Bunnie Cafe
Or:
The Bait and Banter Bar

[Atrocities]

An observation: Star Wars II Attack Of The Clones is faltering at the box office. Not many poeple are singing its prase, and even less are willing to give it a thumbs up.

First a simple question... How many times did you see Star Wars I Phantom Menace in the theater?

A fact: I saw SWE1 PM something on the order of 5 times in the theater. I found that I actually enjoyed it better than EP2 AotC. In talking to people, many of whom hated Ep 1, I have discovered that no one has seen Ep2 a second time yet. Not one person. By this same time after Ep 1 PM had been released, people had seen it 2 or 3 times.

A thought: Perhaps Ep1 was just so new that everyone wanted to see it after a 20 year drout. Or Episode II stinks and people are totally uninterested in it.

I have only seen AotC once, and have no plans on seeing it again any time soon.

they both sucked http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif

Sorry AT.

Imagine Lucas made Blade Runner.

[DavidG]

Haven't seen Ep 2 but Ep 1 suffered from the same flaw as most modern action and sci fi films. Lame story, No character developement, really cool FX. I think they spend a billion dollars on special effects and get the best script writers they can for a case of beer and a pizza.

If Germany hadn't already beaten you I would throw in a word of support for Germany v USA http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif .

ahh, I'm glad to see everyone dropping in and indulging themselves with some good old brewskis or two, "bartender bring me a ice cold brewski, and a small pizza, yells mac, as he puts out his gryphin pizza traps, (portable rose bushes) chains the pizza box to the table, puts up his feet, leans back and relaxs, sigh, will miss this old place, he thinks to himself as he contemplates the move to a new location. At least the fluffy bunnies are coming with us, Sigh, he sips his brew and remineces about all the shananigans that took place here over the Last several months, sigh........ Maybe it'll become an historical landmark he thinks to himself,

Hmmmm, Taz has volunteered for bartender, I wonder how good he is at keeping tracks of who's tabs are whose.......and Rollo, appears to be enjoying himself as well.... will the new place be as interesting, will it be exciting, will the story continue.......... only time will tell

Rollo wakes up from a little slumber. Wakes up. smells pizza. sees mac. sharpens his axe...

(btw, I am on gamesnet.net #se4 right now)

[Rollo]

Rollo walks over to macs table. trying to hide his grat axe behind jis back he puts on an innocent smile: "hey mac, can you spare a slice?"

[Rollo]

Hmm, mac obviously left his table unattented. Rollo swings his axe and break the chain that ties the pizza box to macs table. Rollo takes the box and walks over to his table. "hmm, better take care of this before gryphin tries to swipe it..". Rollo starts munching.

(damn, now iam hungry)

[mac5732]

Mac comes back to his table after using the cantina's facitlities, what the...., hmmmm, mac mutters to himself, he quickly looks around trying to locate the gryphin, he sees Rollo over at a cornor table munching on something, probably a calzone, waves, then continues to look for the gryphin, he cks the rose bushes, nothing broken, no blood, hmmmm, The gryphin's not a round, that diabolicol pizza napper, probably outside somewhere eating my pizza.... Mac calls over a fluffie bunnie and orders another brewski and small pizza.. not this time he mumbles to himself, when the pizza arrives, he quickly looks around, then pulls out 2 bottles and puts Tescos hot sauce on half and Puke's sauce on the other half, then he sits back sipping his brew, ok gryphin, lets see how well you like digesting this pizza, he contemplates smiling to himself.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

steps into the cantinna, sees the tempting pizza, notes the sause on it, walks inocently up to mac

interesting first half. Our telecast changed from tsn to cbc. We have different sportcasters telling the game. Man there horrible. Sounds like The two Ronnies minus the humour and good writting. I want to mute it but the Koreans fans have great chants

[TerranC]

Well, at least we can accept this defeat with dignity and leave with good acomplishments:

1. actually won a game
2. got up to the semi finals
3. took down Spain, Portugal, Italy (And no, we didn't influence or bribe any of the refs.)
4. got further than japan
5. brought millions of dollars into the economy.

The defeat is just a wee shame.

[Chardo Mon]

Ho Mon, long time away... Now what was going on??? Hmmph, I'll just ask the Fluffy Bunny Waitress. I think she'll like to get into a nice chat, and she'll really like the tip after getting me a pint O Guiness from the tap, with another behind it....

{{So FBW, anything happening here while I was gone? :::innocent, cuddly smile::: ummm... hmmmm... uh,hu yup, OH! Wow! Really??? Ohhhhh oooohh hmmmm... Really? Excellent! WaHoo!! ROFL.. yes OK, more?? Hehehehe AAAaahehehehe. Those boys!!!!! Please stop, Stop! First another pint then more story please FBW, yes of course keep the tip.

Confession

Some good Irish humour for you (even if you're not Irish). Enjoy!

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have not been to confession for six
months. On top of that, I've been with a loose woman." The priest sighs.
"Is that you, Tommy O'Shaughnessy?" "Yes, Father, 'tis I." "And who might
be the woman you were with?" "I shan't be tellin' you, Father. It would
ruin her reputation." "Well, Tommy, I'm bound to find out sooner or later,
so you may as well tell me now. Was it Brenda O'Malley?" "I cannot say."
"Was it Patricia Fitzgerald?" "I'll never tell." "Was it Bridget
O'Shanter?" "I'm sorry, but I'll not name her." "Was it Cathy O'Dell?"
"My lips are sealed." "Was it Fiona Mallory, then? "Please, Father, I
cannot tell you." The priest sighs in frustration. "You're a steadfast
lad, Tommy O'Shaughnessy, and I admire that but, you've sinned, and you
must atone. Be off with you now." Tommy walks back to his pew. His
friend, Sean, slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?"

"Five more good leads", says Tommy.

GrowlTigga has asked me to let everyone know that he will be off the air for several days...

just some ideas Mac

[Chardo Mon]

Of the top names, The EEE & Whistle is my favorite. I like to get away from that US term Bar & Grill. Makes me think the patrons are belived to be to slow to know what the establishment is for.

I don't know what the Whistle is for. I'll just ask the first time I stop in, may help break the ice.

[dogscoff]

In olde days in Britain, drinking vessels in pubs would have a small whistle built into the handle. When you needed more beer, you'd "whistle for it" That's where the term comes from. Also "wet your whistle"

Not that that's why I picked the "EEE and whistle". It just has a nice pub sound to it=-)

[TerranC]

The EEE and whistle sounds familiar.
Nice and warm, has that rusty ethereal character with it.

Of course, I just go to a pub named Ship and Anchor so...

[tesco samoa]

Hey Mac I joined another small map game called
A shattered peace.

So if you want to fight it out.... I will see you there.

P.S. This invite is to all who read this thread.

[Atrocities]

Don't you just hate how a good day can turn into a bad day instantly? I hate it. I absolutely f***ing hate it.

All it takes is one person getting mad about the dumbest thing, and poof, game over. Put on the pout face and start the yelling screaming match.

Like I said, I hate it. That is why we must all expect our days to be bad from the get go. That way when they turn to ****, we won't be surprised.

Nothing good Last, everything bad does. Does this depress you? It does me.

Sorry, I had to vent.... women

[Atrocities]

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Thanks. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[mac5732]

I'm similiar to Tesco, (thats scary), I try to live every day as it might be my Last, Yes sometimes the arguments and yelling are going to happen and its depressing, especially afterwords, but one must live with that as part of life's obstacles. The main thing is to be careful in what you say so you don't regret it afterword. Remember words can hurt and once said can never be taken back. Its hard when this happens, but you must learn to live with it, if you don't, then you are making it harder on yourself. Sometimes, what I do, when I want to yell or give a barb back, is bite my tongue and just walk into another room and mumble to myself, this doesn't always make you feel good, but sometimes is the best thing to do. However, I am not always successful and then the regret will set in, but I try very hard. I'm basically easy going and this does help and I try not to let it get to me.... I don't know if this helps, but, always try to have a good day, you never know when it might be your Last and then its to late and what's been said or done is out of reach.

good luck and like Tesco said, have a good day..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

It's a surprise

[tesco samoa]

Not I my friend. I enjoy every day. Occasionaly Tesco must cry ( like when Ray Bourque raised the cup Last year ) but most days Tesco's motto is F*&^ it two s**&^ in a bucket. and be very polite to everyone. And if I get mad, i go quiet and think out exactly what I am going to say so there is only a responce and not insults etc...

People need time to adjust to that style but it works ( so far )

I just figure in the day to day activities of life there is nothing to worry about. Because the bad stuff will jump out of nowhere and you will have to deal with them then.

And have a good investment plan.

[tesco samoa]

And....

I hope today is a good day for you.

[Growltigga]

Right, camera pans from outside left over battered cantina building. Camera pans back and shows mighty tigga, albeit battered, bleeding and very broke striding purposefully up to the main entrance

camera down shows inside the cantina, door is forcefully kicked open, and tigga strides in, looking herioc, powerful (and battered, bleeding and broke), fluffy bunny waitresses take one look at Tigga, look back at Saxon and Gryphin and run over to crouch at tigga's feet declaiming "how nice it is for a real man to be back etc".

Tiggas say hello to everybody and gives everybody present of dried squid, save for fluffy bunny waitresses who get a good time.

Phew, the Last month has been hectic, expensive but incredible. My hat goes off to South Korea and Japan for setting out and running and amazing world cup. It has been brilliant. I always promised myself I would go to the first world cup I could afford to. I cant afford it (this month has cost me about £12K) but it was brilliant. England's performance was excellent and overall, I am happy

At least we were beaten by the team that is most likely to win the whole tournament.. sorry Esel and Rollo, Germany I feel have had an easier run than most to this stage (Saudi Arabia, an underperforming Cameroon, a plucky talented Ireland, South Korea (not THAT good) USA?) - England had to face Nigeria, Argentina and Denmark? not quite the same!

Either eway, Sunday's match is going to be a good one

You north americans should really get behind your team.. you have some good players, some good tactics and a real team spirit.. you also have some of the most jingoistic supporters I have ever seen as well as a couple of the most arrogant players I have ever seen (someone hit Landon Donovan), but overall, well done

The laughing side of all this is that I am currently laid up home and on strict orders not to get out of bed.. unfortunately, my pc is downstairs and I can only get on it when the Swamp Thing is out of the house - she is currently getting her hair (or warts) done so I have this brief window of opportunity.. for those interested, I had a rupture whilst travelling which led to internal bleeding, chucking up blood and all sorts of nasties so I am currently lieing here with 8 stitches in mt side after what the doctor describes as "keyhole surgery". "Keyhole?" my arse, I thought keyholes were small and this doctor obviously has a house with a fist sized lock on the front door - I am waiting to get well and then will visit him with trusty swiss army knife and knitting yarn to show him what 'bumhole surgery" is

US soccer is a big question mark. We need to send more of our players to play full time in Europe...like the rest of the damned world.

Perhaps we already do. I don't have the slightest idea. Took me all of the previous world cup to figure out what results in a corner kick.

And we need soccer riots...how can your team win without them?

[Growltigga]

(Grendel is off having her scales varnished)

Tigga finally stops howling after Dogscoff has patted him on the incision. Whilst Dogscoff is in the loo, Tigga calls Acme Medical Supplies and gets them to airdrop (a la Bugs Bunny or Roadrunner) a large syringe full of Serum X, that famed highly powered chili based laxative.

When Dogscoff returns from eating poos, Tigga persuades one of the Fluffy Bunny Waitresses to, ahem, divert Dogscoff's attention and whilst El Scoffo is dribbling at the Kylie-esque "Cant Get you Out of My Head" dance going on in front of him (Kylie wrote that for Growltigga by the way), Tigga proceeds to inject him with Serum X.

Syringe is (safely and responsibly) disposed off, TIgga sits backs, watches El Scoffo beaming like a dribbling Dorset yokel and waits for the rumbling to begin..

It doesn't take long and with a frrenzied scream and sprint to the loo, we have ERUCTATION!!!!

Having moved all available cash to an off-shore tax haven, Tigga eyes the Cantina and cannot help but feel a teardrop swell in the corner of his eye... "It was fun whilst it Lasted" thinks the Mighty Cat "but all good things must come to an end"..

Luckily the Great Kat has planned for this very moment, little known to the other denizens of the bar, Tigga has buried 50 tons of TNT in the large vat of dogpoo outside the back of the Canitna and unless Dogscoff has really been eating lots of the chilli, there should be enough left to really raise the roof... failing which, there is also Tigga's own strategic defence platform in geosynchronous orbit over the Cantina and surely a combined bLast of gamma and x-ray lasers should be enough to kick off a suitable insurance claim?.. failing which, Mac has been steadily drinking nitroglycerine since he came to the bar and all we would need to do iss turn off his pacer

Hello Mac, thought I'd take you up on the offer and stop in for some pizza. "Put that on Tescos tab my dear, Mac said I could". Have to pass on the brew as I'm just taking a break from work. I must admit my mind is halfway home already though, where TDM-Modpack is eagerly awaiting installation.
After that is done I'm hoping the AI will do more than declare war and send 2 Frigates after my 4 DD's!
I'm going to eat and run, and avoid the desert table, since I'm thinking you might be up to no good with what you're thinking about those pies! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

(Grendel is off terrorising the Kingdom of the Geats (or is that Danes?))

what is it about everybody here and pizzas? they are possibly one of the most boring types of food known to man and Dominos and these mass-market multiples are the worst offenders of the lot...

I think we should make a stand for real pub food, Ploughman's Lunch, Beef Casserole with Pickled Walnuts, Argentine Asada, Pig Roast, Pheasant and Chesnuts, Pork Scratchings, Chicken Itchings, Fish 'n' Chips, Irish Stew in a Basket, Scampi in a bun.. you know, that sort of thing

Gt, I understand you travel quite a bit, but you apparently don't stray much from the beaten path if you believe that pizza is boring. Yes a steady diet of Domioes mass-market Version of the magical pie would get very tedious. But Pizza is also the height of self-expression. In the hands of a master chef it is more of an art than a food.

Mac stops in for his morning coffee & donut, sits down at his favorite table, puts in his order with one of the fluffy bunnies, and leans back. hmmm, quiet morning, StarJack stopped in, Mac waves, tells him to put it on Tescos tab, but if its full just to use Saxon's tab, Mac looks around, eyes the pie table with un-remorseful anticipation, sees GT sitting in the cornor singing to himself while he polishes some new type of barreled contraption, also it appears there's a large pile of cream pies on his table, now what is that old Kat up to now....he wonders??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif , Mac reads the latest on the new name poll, the sports page where he sees Brazil as the new World Cup Champ, Poor Mephisto, have send him my condolances and a Pie or two http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif . His thoughts are interrupted by a engine sounding noise, now what the heck, he looks around and notices the noise is coming from GT, why the young Kat is Purring as he appears to be putting those pies into that barreld contraption.... hmmmmmm, Maybe its time to go to leave for now, Mac hurriedly drinks his coffee, downs his donut and walks out.(quite quickly)...

(camera pans to GT) "Oh what a beautiful Morning, My how its going to be a wonderful day, he sings to himself, a huge grin breaks out on his whiskered face.... to be continued.....

just some ideas Mac

[dogscoff]

Dogscoff looks up as Tigga loads his automatic splurge gun. Casually, he reaches under the table for a pLastic rain coat and umbrella. He dons the protective garments appropriately, cancels his food order and goes back to his beer.

[Growltigga]

(Grendel Last seen doing her famed "velociraptor eating cow" impression with a sticky bun)

GT checks the automatic fire sequencer on the Custard Pie Gauss Cannon and makes sure the loading hoppers are sufficiently stacked to handle 400 pies a second at maximum velocity

GT gets small cocktail umbrella from behind bar and gives this to Dogscoff to put over his beer, whilst thinking that he looks like that bloke out of the fish finger advert with the accordion...

GT then quietly walks round to all the staff and customers of the bar under the age of 50 and gets them to hide behind the waterproof sheeting GT has put over the bar area itself... GT then buys everybody a beer

Triggering the fire sequence, the gauss cannon turns on its automated mounting and the target lasing sights settle on Mac, who is quietly eating a stinky pizza and is farting quietly in the corner, having been persuaded NOT to leave the Cantina by the wiles of the 'Liz Hurley' fluffy bunny waitress lookalike holding a tube of anusol (like geritol but less sting)

With consensus from all bar denizens, GT pushes the firing stud and watches as Mac is hit by 1200 cream pies in just over 3 seconds....

Cue much hilarity, diverse alarums and exit stage left Growltigga, Mephisto, Saxon, Dogscoff and various other locals of the Cantina all having bladder problems)

I have eaten snake, dog, snail, tons of horrible looking sea-thingies, jellyfish, varieties of insects, alligator, frogs, camel, ortolan, lizard, giraffe, eland, ostrich, wildebeest, something that looked like dried bogies, sea urchins and something else that looked by poomtang/punani..

My personal philosophy is to eat anything that cannot get out of a bucket and to drink anything that can be made in a bucket, if only to try it once!!

I will eat pizza if the current Mrs GT has made it, as she does do it proper like, the only other type I enjoy is the old anchovy, jalapeno peppers and pineapple pizza

My favorite local pizza place does a number of "specialty" pizzas, including:

Ranch Steak Pizza - garlic sauce, steak (as in Philly cheesesteak sandwich), french fries, onions, provolone, mozzarrella, topped after cooking with buttermilk ranch dressing

Greek: white sauce, gyro meat (roasted lamb), tomatoes onions, feta cheese, mozzarella, provolone

Cheeseburger: hamburger, onion, cheddar, tomato sauce, optional bacon

Hawaiian: pineapple, ham, bacon, provolone, mozzarella

Other toppings available include capicolla, spinach, zucchini, broccoli, and artichokes.

[mac5732]

Poor Poor Mac yells the Liz Hurly Look a like fluffy bunny, what did that dastardly flea infested Tigga do to you, as she races over to help what appears to be a large ice cream cone. As she approaches, Mac wipes some of the cream pie from his eyes and sees her approaching, I've died and gone to heaven he immediatly thinks..., she starts wiping the oozing gooey mess from his abused body, Mac, like all good worshippers, looks at her with puppy dog eyes... sigh.... now this I can .... a strange and strangled scream rents the air, apparently coming from stage left where the Tigga made his hasty exit, Mac just grins and looks towards the door.... All the regulars just sit, they know not to investigate these types of sounds, however, Innocent Fyron, runs towards and then out the door,.. several minutes go by and then another more inhuman catwalling cry arises from outside the cantina, Enter poor Fyron, covered in Cream Pie filling from head to toe... One of the fluffy bunnies asks him what happened. "well when I went to see what that awful racket was, I found the Tigga, covered with cream pie filling matting his fur most extensivly.... In looking around, I found what appeared to be some type of trip wire across the doorway, this in turn led to a pully system attached to some weights which in turn were hooked up to an old fashion wash tub which appeared to have been filled with 2-300 cream
pies. The Tigga must have tripped the wire and was in turn splattered with the cream pies, nothing worse then seeing a grown tigga full of oozing, sticky, cream pie filling matting his fur from top to bottom. As he was wiping himself off, he saw some kind of picture on the bottom of one of the pie plates, since he had cream in his eyes and couldn't see to well, he asked me to see what it was...I looked at it and told him it appeared to be a picture of a male with what appeared to be a "Custer Hat" and a "Wooly Bear" on his lip dressed in cowhide boots with a sentance underneathe which stated "Compliments of the Gryphin Line Dancing Bakery"... Thats when the Tigga let out that hideous catwalling noise, When I tried to find out what was wrong he proceeded to pelt me with some of the cream pies that were still laying on the ground.... go figure,.. Fyron looked over at Mac who was laughing as he proceeded to clean himself off. "I had those pies special ordered, just for the tigga" he exclaimed..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Meanwhile, another fluffy bunny came into the cantina and said two trucks had pulled up and were unloading more cream pies for the cantina, when she asked who ordered them, the drivers told them the two men who hired them only told them to deliver it and something about abused Bar Tabs, when she asked who they were, they told her they didn't know just someone named Mephisto and another by the name of Tesco....

Oh and Fyron, pies......

to be continued

a very sticky Mac (but appreciates the Liz Hurley look like, sigh.....)

TerranC, I should make it clear that I have tried dog once (I thought it was like greasy stringy chicken if you must know) when in South Korea.

I do not make a habit of eating canine, I have always been uncomfortable with eating animals which lick their own genitalia, stick their noses up each others bottoms and eat poo. I am, afterall, a cat person. I prefer better stuffing on my roasts in any event.

What you Americans eat is dodgy!

That reminds me of the two Good Ol' Boys sitting in front of the gas station on Saturday afternoon. A dog walks down the street, sits down, and starts licking his own privates. BillyJoe turns to Bubba and says "I wish I could do that." Bubba says "That dog would bite you!"

Maybe it's time for an accreditted SEIV glossary. Who coined the term "Glass" in relation to wiping out planets? Is it SEIV specific or does it used in wargaming generally?


Still as GrowlTigga points out the size of my "sex drive", I now have a release for it.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Would that be release V1.0 or is it still in beta? Have you put it onto the upload forum?

Saxon staggers in, looking desperately for a reprieve from work and illness. Smells the stench of dog poo and rancid cream. Staggers back out.

Now that Tigga is almost well (physically at least) and able to play, it is time of another member of the Cantina to disappear. I have to go to Ghana for two weeks work. I will try to con a different laptop out of the IT guys, as the notebook I have will not run SEIV. The screen resolution will not put the entire thing on the screen.

[Gryphin]

dogscuff,
I didn't see it as "stealling", Probably my ego wanting the credit. I'm sure similar claims were made on the banks of the Nile while the Praymids were being built. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
As for glassing, we could start a thread on that. I first heard it used 25 plus years ago as a solution for the Mid East situation. The idea was to "glass" the area from Turky down to the Mid East and across North Africa to the Atlantic Ocean. A little radical for my taste.
None the less, it was egocentric of me to claim the "first use".
I'm probalby one of the most insecure people you will ever know of.

As for the Version of the release, for me it is V1.0 and I hope the final Version.
Beyond that would constitute more than you wanted to know.

Tesco is on holidays for two weeks. He might just live here. Does this place have a patio.

Oh look there it is. Tesco goes outside sits down and orders a nice rasberry wheat ale to cool down with and portobello burger with tossed greens on the side. Tesco pays his tab and starts a new one on saxon's tab.

Thanks Taz, didn't know how long these old bones of mine would hold out... Bartender bring the Taz anything he wants, (within reason that is http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) put it on my tab. After shaking Taz's hand/paw/extremity Mac looks over his favorite table which no longer exists, just a leg laying on the floor, he sighs, looks for a new table, sits down and has a fluffy bunny bring him a large box full of cream pies, opens up some papers with diagrams on them, and beginns making notes........, He looks up as Saxon enters and then leaves, hmmm, Bartender on 2nd thought, put Taz's bill on Saxon's tab he yells.....

[Growltigga]

"glassing" was used by both the British and American bomber command in WWII to describe the effect of the mass bombing attacks against German cities, not to be confused with the god-awful firebombing techniques used

my personal sci-fi favourite 'battle jargon' term is "vaping", as in "that ship got vaped" as in short for "vapourised" - I believe this came out of an excellent English comic I used to read called 2000AD (of Judge Dredd fame) and in particular, a story called "The Vacuumn Cleaners" about a bunch of spaceship fighter pilots - damn fine read...

Glazing is another term I've seen and heard used, mostly in Board Games over the years, somewhat in computer wargames..

Have your team play against SOME GOOD SIDES like Nigeria and Argentina and see how you do

Face it, the first real competition you faced in that tournament was not Ireland but was Brazil and you lost 2-0.

Yea, there were so many good teams out there: France, Portugal, Argentina, Italy, England. We could have learned a lot from them. Pity is, they never come as far as we did. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

"Glassing" refers to a nuke. After the test firing they found that the sand at the target range was molten into glas by the heat.

Tut tut tut. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif All this talk about "how 'my' team does = how good I am." Useless jabbering, oh but it is interesting enough for sure.

(Hat off to all the athletes.)

If the old obsteperous kat had no fear and some honor http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif , he would have uploaded his empire before I was forced to leave for more active grounds (ahh... am I making a permanent enemy here, or just saying what is so???? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif )

Actually, can I just endorse the Whistlestop Cafe and Brewery in Flagstaff AZ - excellent beer and tip top food and for an american bar, not bad at all

We do have some American beers here.

Anchor Steam Beer
Rolling Rock
Samual Adams
Cave Creek Chili Beer
etc... The Cantina prides itself on Micro beers and brews its own beer. The only problem is that it is all on tap. Rollo expressed concern over this issue due to the fact that he does not like the size of a pint but the size of 500ml.

So I have an announcement to make. Starting today the Cantina will begin to offer 500ml Rollo cans of Beer. What kinds well ask Rollo.

I perfer the size of the pint. Not too small not too large. Just right.

Tigga then points out to the Americans in the bar that they might as well just tip their horrible weak beer down the toilet and therefore cut out the middleman
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">*Dogscoff is struck by inspiration. He takes a crate of the free beer and disappears into the toilets. After twenty minutes or so he returns, offering the bottles around with the words "Free beer, brewed to American standards." Close examination reveals that the bottles appear to have been opened, emptied, refilled and then crudely resealed. The Americans in the bar are blithely swigging down the warm, yellowish liquid while everyone else simply watches and smiles...

And yes I know Fowler was transferred to leeds. Hence 6 names. And one to see if you would actually read the thing.

And what point are you trying to prove.

I see no benifit in making up that i support Liverpool.

[Growltigga]

that, because you are 3,000 miles away, you are not a real fan in the classic sense

It is like the strange Brits over here who love Amnerican Football

When do they get to a game? how do they follow all the gossip? what is the point? I have a friend who is a big supporter of a Bengal based kabaddi team? this guy is from France originally, how on earth can he support kabbaddi whe it not even shown on the tele here?

ahhh....

then i disagree. The Oshawa Lynx just don't cut it.

[Rollo]

wow, the cantina is pretty busy at the moment

re football: IIRC Germany came in second, England did as well as the USA. That is much as I have to say about that. I did not mean to disrespect the South Korean team. In fact I was a big fan of them and most of their matches were the most enjoyable to watch. The fact that they did better than most "great football nations" is sure to piss some people off, though (same goes for the US, btw).

re Ger-Eng 1-5: that was irrelevant and done on purpose to make sure England would qualify. so at least we'd someone to make fun of during the tournament after Holland didn't make it (hope i didn't open a can of worms here. if you wish to discuss Germany vs. Holland in regards to football, we'll need a new thread...)

* Rollo invites the Tigga over to his table to have a beer. Maybe we can at least agree that we don't like the French.

re 500ml cans: I prefer those only "to go". Any of the northern (Holsten, Becks, Jever) or danish (Faxe, Tuborg) brews will be fine. In the cantina I prefer from the tab of course. 500ml is just the perfect size. A pint is too small. If the imperial pint is bigger, that's better. one litre steins are too bavarian... and before you get any ideas: No, we don't wear "Lederhosen" in the North.

I am not going into any bar where Rollo, Mephisto and a bunch of other Germans are wearing leiderhosen.....

you got to the final by playing easy teams, by having a damn good goalkeeper to keep the poor teams out of your goal, end of story and the first real competition you hit roll you over

do you know, you Germans are amazing. You let us win 5-1 and staged the whole German nation turning into manic depressives etc just to get us to the world cup? awwww... you are so nice

I like the French by the way and refuse to be party to any Franco-Prusso/Germano antagonism. I am too busy offending the whole world to worry about any local partisanship!

I totally agree about our goalkeeper. But that is the point, you win the game if you score more than your opponent. You stated earlier that at least you scored one goal against Brazil. So friggin what? If you find comfort in that, that's fine. Just to remind you, Costa Rica scored two goals against them. So take it for it's worth.

The brillant master plan was, to give England illusions that they actually had a good team.

Disclaimer: if anybody takes this serious, it's their own fault. any typos and/or bad grammar was done on purpose for your entertainment.

[Mephisto]

You know, Rollo and I live north of the Main river so no lederhosen for both of us. You can wear one if you must, GT... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Regarding the 1-5: One summer day doesn't make a summer. Dare to compare the victories total, do you? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

And don't forget, you only love the french for 2 reasons: Their girls and for Paris as it prevented the current Ms. GT from joining you in Japan...

[Rollo]

Mephisto is totally right, lederhosen are just too silly looking.

[Growltigga]

Rollo and Mephisto,

First, the 5-1 is in response to years of sarcasm and snidy remarks by the Germans to the English... you had a great team in the 80's and early 90's but with Voller and Klinsmann retiring? nuff said

You have to realise that like Spain and Portugal (and to a certain extent France for years and Italy for the Last few) England have been perennial underperformers relying on a few aging stars... but we are now getting to stage of having a young talented team and a great coach and to quote the song, "the only way is up (baby)"

We can argue this all year.. you boys got an easier ride than most to get to where they did in the World Cup, simple fact and say compared to what South Korea had to go through, no comparison.

Re the French, I like the girls, the people, the cities and the cuisine, I like the country and I like their 'bugger the rest of you' attitude.. I like the Germans, the Dutch, the Belgians, the Luxembourgeoise and infact I dont think I dislike anybody - EXCEPT LINE DANCERS OF COURSE

Why am I arguing with two north germans who no doubt look like Helmut Kohl chewing hot chillis
I didnt like Mrs GT in Paris, the credit card bill covering the first half of her trip has arrived and I almost burst my stitches

I love you too Mehpisto and have always felt that you are probably the Cantina lurker who most needs a big wet kiss on the bottom

Are you not impressed by my fortitude? with 8 stitches just above my groin and a welt the size of a bratwurst, I have now done 41 hours with no sleep and am heading into another night of frenzied negotiation

What a complete and utter foxtrot uniform life is

The good news is that Kylie Minogue has sent me a telegram saying that she loves me, wants only me and wants to share her €45 million fortune with me and me alone.. the bad news is that I am obviously hallucinating through lack of sleep as I am convinced that Mila Jojovich was helping me draft a particularily tricky subordination on insolvency clause

the real good news is that my empire is loaded - yes, that's right folks, its bottom-kicking time, let's rock and roll and make sure that role playing is the order of the day.. Mac, act like an incontinent old fool (dont get sterotyped), Rollo - act like a teutonic nutter, Gryphin - act like a sexually demented middle aged line dancer, Fyron - act spotty, Saxon - just ry to act normal alright?

Mac is enjoying the sun on the patio with Tesco, He hear's caterwalling coming from inside the cantina, he gets up strolls over to the window and peaks in, there is the Tigga strutting around holding his side and mumbling about brewskis slandering good old american beer, now thats just plain un-colonial attacking brewskis like that, aahhh the chance is to good to give up, Mac walks over, loads up his new Ionic, sidewinder, cream pie Kat seeker missle, he walks back over to the window, sets the auto Kat finder, aims, FIRES, the missle tears thru the cantina, strikes and envelopes the Tigga in a horrendous glob of pie filling, Tigga tries to say something but appears to be filled with cream filling.... Laughing, Mac orders some good old Amercian Beer for everyone, the fluffy bunnies race outside and open the New Beer Truck, that Mac ordered, after he saw the toilet caper escapade, Mac cks the seals on the beer, pours some in a glass, yep the real stuff, hands out free brewskis to Gil Hamilton and the rest of the cantina members, and they all sit back and watch the Tigga trying to un-mat the sticky, gooey, oozing cream covering his voracious anatamy. What a sight......

tigga if you cannot remember your empire password just withdraw from the game and rejoin it. that way you can make sure you know the passwords. i will approve you right away.

[Fyron]

Fyron - act spotty

Eh? What's that mean?

[Growltigga]

writhing in disgust at the horrible buweiser flavour cream pie filling Mac has covered him in, Tigga curses quietly to himself and watches as Mac and the rest of the redneck Coors-swilling good ol' boys strut out onto the patio and turn on their ghettobLaster packed full of crappy Bruce Springsteen and John Cougar Mellencamp songs... Tigga realises that only he stands between the force of Chaos manifested by sweaty crappy beer swilling rednecks in pickup trucks and civilisation as we know it.

"Huzzah" thinks our gallant cat "said oiks are on the patio, in fact right on top of the 2 tons of semtex I buried earlier and right in trajectory to the antihick patriot missile battery I rigged up on the surrounding hills" - in order to save life as we know it, he pulls out detonator and explodes the mine... and then watches in delight as the hicks are shot up into the air and then shot down by the missiles

"Bloody marvellous" thinks the cat as the fluffy bunnies vigourouly towel him down

[TerranC]

"Mac and the Rest" "Rednecks" "Drink" only "Coors"

Now replace:

Mac and the Rest = *Insert Nationality*-Canadian
Rednecks = Anybody affliated with the PC Party
Drink = Chug
Coors = Molson Canadian

Capice?

[Gil Hamilton]

A throaty rumble, hardly noticed at first, but quickly gaining volume fills the air in the Cantina. (The observant will recognize the sweet sound of a Chevy 350 with tuned and cherried exhaust.)

The engine sound subsides, and, after a brief pause, Gil Hamilton glides into the building and heads for the bar. Quietly trailing behind him, at one pace, the hover platform tirelessly bears its large load shrouded with what appears to be a red, white and blue silk covering.

As he reaches the bar, Gil turns with an exaggerated flourish, whips the cover off the crate of Killian's Red on the hover platform and proclaims, "Free AMERICAN beer for any who would like to remember or learn what it is to be American or who would just like to toss one down in fellowship. The rest of you can suck plasma!"

(Mac as he flies thru the air above the cantina), ahhh what a view, just breathtaking, Mac looks down, pulls out his mono-spy-glass, looks down towards the ground, he spies what appears to be a very large glob of frosting outside the cantina, hmmm that looks like the dastardly Tigga, yep that's him alright, Mac smiles to himself, he pulls the ripcord of his new highly classified, thin, light weight parachute, which was concealed under his shirt. The chute opens and Mac looks at his brewski which he still had in his hand http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif , guzzles the Last of it, looks down, pulls on his cords a little more to the left, aaahhhh just right, Mac is know directly over the Tigga Cone... Mac aims the bottle, little left, inch right, there, BOTTLE AWAY.....
camera pans to outside the cantina, focuses on the Tigga Cream Puff, just as the Surly Kat begins to wash himself off he is struck by a falling object from the sky, down goes the Tigga, flat as a pancake, out like a light ...... Oh is he going to have a headache in when he gets up......
meanwhile, Mac gently comes back to earth after a beautiful trip into the atmosphere... Lovely, just lovely up there, ahhh what sights one sees,, he smiles to himself...... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Taz-in-Space]

Taz (watching from a safe location across the street) notices a man in a cap peeping into the cantina. Said man then produces a peculiar weapon, aims it into the cantina and fires.

Taz waits to see result and is not disappointed
when man (and friends) goes sailing up into the air...Taz didn't even know they could fly!

Taz continues to watch as something falls on a very messy feline.

Be interesting to see what happens next...
{note to self - get larger popcorn container and
bigger beer keg}

[Growltigga]

Mac settles back to earth just as the patriot anti-incontinence missile, which lost its lock on said old timer due to his sudden braking velocity due to chute opening, regains lock and rushes oin for impact....

We have a direct hit and, in true slapstick fashion, all that is left of Mac is apair of gently smoking boots and a charred colostomy bag..

Tigga then looks at the other cantina patrons (save for the rednecks who are now drifting clouds of good ol' smoke) and wonders when the pack of velociraptors he ordered from "Gnashers-R-US" are going to arrive.

He also wonders what Tigg-Scoff PLC's first quarterly results will be for selling carbonated alcohol enhanced urine to the Americans will be, things are looking up

[Gil Hamilton]

Thankful for his prior preparations, Gil turns off the Holo-Projector on his watch, and and continues with his "special" electrical modifications to the Cantina's urinals. Knowing that ALL cats must squat to releive themselves, he grins a smile observers of it might call evil.

He checks with the flat-bed's AI, sees all systems are fine- the new screens held- and codes the next orders. From the distance Gil hears the three marching bands are right on time. Souza tunes converging on the Cantina from three directions; that ought to "please" those Anglophiles!

[Growltigga]

the lorry arrives and Growltigga watches in delight as the cage of snarling vicious velociraptors (who have only been fed 1 pot of natural yoghurt a day for the Last month) are delivered to the pack of the cantina...

Tigga lets them loose and watches in beautific amazement as 3 marching bands become purina dino-kibbles..

Tigga then opens the back door of the cantina, ushers the still hungry reptilian blood-gnashers into the cantina (having evacuated all the fluffy bunny waitresses to his secure batchelor pad of course) and watches through the window as the denizens (excluding business partner dogscoff who has been forwarned and airlifted to safety) of the Cantina are horribly disembowelled, shredded and then eaten with a little hollandaise sauce....

BUUURRRRRRRPPPPPPPPP

PS Tigga should make it clear that because Tigga has now been up for over 48 hours (with only about 2 hours of cat naps in that time), he is already so dazed that the effect of Mac's poncy American beer bottle dropping on his noggin is completely nullifed...

PPS Tigga then realises that Gil Hamilton has been using a cunning holographic field to avoid patriots, semtex and velociraptors - GT orders his tame SD platform to fire an electron burst which nullifies said holographic field and whilst Gil is standing outside the cantina looking confused, Growltigga whistles for "Rover" and suddenly a 90 foot tall spinosaurus comes charging out of nowhere and scoffs Gil, just like the bloke got munched at the beginning of Jurassic Park III.

[dogscoff]

Dogscoff leans back in his executive leather chair, enjoying the amazing panoramic view from his office on the top floor of the monolithic Tigg-scoff breweries office building. In the distance, he can just about make out the Cantina beneath the network of missile trails and plumes of smoke. He asks his personal assistant (an ex-fluffy bunny waitress, now more profitably employed and attired in a classic sexy- secretary suit.) for some binoculars, and she smiles seductively as she hands them to him.

With the binoculars Dogscoff can more clearly see the carnage going on in the cantina. There appears to some very heavy weaponry in use, and a swarm of what look like dinosaurs runing amok. "That building can't take much more of this kind of abuse" he thinks to himself, as he sips his whisky. With his new executive lifestyle, Dogscoff considers that it's time to move on to a classier drinking establishment, or at the very least level this one and rebuild it, preferably out of something designed to withstand a direct nuclear strike.

His finger hovers over the controls to the orbital weapons satelite, which even now is moving into position above the cantina, eager to unleash it's awesome payload. His personal assistant pauses from her latest duty to look imploringly up into his eyes, but to no avail. He presses the button marked "Kerboom!", and closes the office blinds.

Thinking back to the days I first instigated repartee with some bloke from Europe who mentioned the number of forum posters (on each side of the Atlantic), and said we should have an “across the pond” contest.

the camera pans back across a bLasted, charred landscape and the mushroom cloud rising above the burst of actinic fire that is all that remains of one of the galaxy's finest watering holes....

Over at Tig-Scoff PLC's offices, the door to the President's office is rudely kicked open by a pinstriped, stylishishly suited Growltigga. The Kat looks at Scoffo sitting in his executive chair and then looks at the personal fluffy bunny assistant cowering by El Scoffo. Growltigga clicks his fingers and the poor girl comes running over to crouch at his feet.

Growltigga lights a large cigar, clicks his fingers a second time and a horde of corporate lawyers, accountants from PricewaterhouseCooopers and muscly bodyguards comes up behind him...
"This" says the Great Kat to El Scoffo, "is what is called a corporate takeover".....

The camera pans back again and focuses on a small figure with concrete boots on being chucked off a bridge by 2 snazzily dressed chaps wearing fedoras, with a splash, El Scoffo disappears under the waves, never to return

[Growltigga]

Having slaughtered all other denizens of the Cantina, and having successfully removed Dogscoff from the helm of Tigg-a PLC (formerly known as Tigg-Scoff PLC), Growltigga breathes a great sigh of relief.

Gryphin materialises next to him and together, they share a nice bottle of chilled Lindemans Bin 63, with some tasteful canapes and appropriate nibbles.

Standing on the roof of Tigg-a PLC's head office, lord of all they survey, Gryphin and Growltigga realise that their cunning plan to take over the world has worked.

It is theirs.

And lo, verily it is foretold that a new cantina will arise from the ashes liketh unto spring flowers after rain, that said cantina will be a place of peace and tranquility, of grand cuisine, pleasant company and decent ale, and any peasant drinking crappy American beer will have done to them what God did'eth unto the sodomites, and if they then mess with the fluffy bunny waitresses (who have been practicing their samba'ing on copacabana beach and getting tans) they will have done to them what the sodomites did to one another...

A new future is to be born
