Wow! I just noticed my 3rd year here at Shrapnel is coming up soon. I cannot believe it has been that long!

Edit: Post 1000.

Yeah I know. I just wanted post and replies 1000 for myself. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif I'm greedy! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif Someone else can have 1024.

[NullAshton]

Hehe...

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Wow, less that 140 posts to go until I make Captain..... and with my rate of posting - I do NOT pad - that shouldn't be that long.....

Whaddaya say guys, why don't we make a wager? I say I'll make Captain within 1 week = 7 days. Anyone wanna join in? And what are we betting for?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

"STS-51, this is Houston Mission Control. Countdown has been initiated. T minus 19 and counting. Initiate main engine sequence."

"Houston Mission Control, this is STS-51. Initiating main engine sequence... now. Engine burn OK. She's ready to go. Counting down."

"STS-51, this is Houston Mission Control. Nearing launch. And guys, give 'em your best up there."

[NullAshton]

Stop post padding.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Not padding! Simply joining in the countdown, and providing an actual scene for the countdown. When we reach 1024, STS-51 will launch to do..... what exactly?

And I didn't violate the rule of "no more than two posts in a row by the same user", did I?

[NullAshton]

STOP PADDING!

[NullAshton]

Of course, a little post padding never hurt anyone...

[Will]

Sheesh, I go away for class for ONLY AN HOUR and you people push it from 980something to 1010...

Obsessed, anyone? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

I WAS NOT PADDING YOU MORON!!!!! I WAS SIMPLY EXPLAINING!!!!! That's it, you're OFF the list for eligible commanders of the Hut forces! It doesn't matter how much ships you bring in! Start your own restaurant if you wanna be commander of ANY food joint's military!

(Speaking of which, we could use a fast food joint around here..... with only a Bar & Grill and a Take-Out whose origins are unknown (as most take-outs are clearly chinese, or indonesian, or japanese, or thai, or whatever, and this is not specified for the Won-Ton) we could use a fast food joint..... Or a pub! A pub'd be great!)

[NullAshton]

I did that to increase amount of posts, no offense http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[NullAshton]

Yes, we're obsessed.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Are we there yet?

[NullAshton]

Nope.

[NullAshton]

Just pull in a chair and wait.

[David E. Gervais]

You know this is going to be a big week, with the "Shocking News" and this thread reaching it's goal of 1024 posts. Yup, we sure live in interesting times.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

..there you go, yet another post closer to #1024.

[NullAshton]

Yup.

[kerensky]

Well, I leave the forum for a day and have something like 160 posts to make up for in this thread...

[Combat Wombat]

[NullAshton]

Woohoo! The 1K reply!

[Combat Wombat]

1024

[NullAshton]

Crap.

[NullAshton]

Wait nm! WOOHOO I GOT 1024 REPLY!

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

.....0! Yay!

And to have my thread mentioned here..... well, thanks David!

[kerensky]

So now what do we do??????????

[NullAshton]

I'm happy. I got the 1024th reply. I was first in the race!

[kerensky]

yes, and it gives you yet another reason to post pad. Now to mention it, it gives me a reason too...

[NullAshton]

Yes, it does.

[David E. Gervais]

It's not winning that counts. It's the fun you have along the way.


Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Renegade 13]

Check it out...4 posts made at 1:09 PM this afternoon (4.5 hours ago for those of you not in the Pacific timezone). Weird...

[Combat Wombat]

Everyone should really check out my updated website at http://www.secenter.org/

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Why, oh why, did they cancel the Buzz Lightyear cartoon?

* This post was made without the slightest clue what was in the last 70+ posts, cause I'm not going to read all those.

[Kamog]

I need to get more exercise; I'm starting to get out of shape... /threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Well..... Let's just go on forever, have a lot of fun along the way, and get lots and lots of promotions fully attributable to this thread.....

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

And come to think of it, this place is an excellent way for a new forum user who has been in many games over the past few years to get some quick promotions to reflect the fact that he is NOT totally new to the game.....

[Combat Wombat]

I've updated my site even more http://www.secenter.org/

[NullAshton]

So are we still going to post pad?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Of course! Why not?

[NullAshton]

Because its a cheap way to raise your post count?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Because it's fun.

Not hogging Shrapnel servers I mean, but it's fun to be able to post here about just about ANYTHING without having to start your own new thread.....

[NullAshton]

So we're just going to flood this with messages?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Yes.



And erm..... NA, is it me or are approx. 70 or 80 of the last 100 posts on the SEIV forum us two, usually fighting each other? And of the last 200 or so posts, 140-160 are ours?

[NullAshton]

We're just so good at posting.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Aren't we, no?

And now the Race to 1M posts e.g. 1024x1024 posts..... think we're gonna make it before 2025?

[NullAshton]

Perhaps.

[NullAshton]

Perhaps not.

Only time will tell.

[Caduceus]

You two need a hobby.

[NullAshton]

I computer model in LightWave.

[NullAshton]

New race. The race to 10,000 views!!!

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

I have at least several hobbies:

-This thread.
-The Won-Ton.
-Other threads.
-Creating Capship.
-Creating Realism.
-Emperor: Battle for Dune.

Oh, you meant REAL hobbies? Well, I go to school in between the time I spend on the forums sometimes..... Oh and I sleep and eat sometimes as well.

[RudyHuxtable]

I still don't have 200 posts at this point, so I think this thread is false advertising! I'm MAD! MAD I SAY!

Or do I just mean crazy?

MAD! CRAZY!

/me picks nose

[NullAshton]

You need to get that post count up, people will respect you for it.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

You should post here more often, Sir.

[RudyHuxtable]

What would I talk about? I mean, maybe a detailed analysis of Henry V's battle strategy at Agincourt? Or a comprehensive description of the interactions between the Assyrians and the Babylonians?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Anything! SEIV! Nonsense!

Just increase your post count by replying to someone in short sentences!

(oh and I don;t know if you know Sir, but there's a rule: no poster may post more than two times in a row.)

[narf poit chez BOOM]

If your nose is kinda runny,
And it's feelin' kinda funny,
Well, it'snot!

[NullAshton]

Just talk about the topic.

[dmm]

Wow, I only have 631 posts!
Guess that explains my low rank: publish or perish.
That stinks; I come here to escape RL.
I suggest assigning rank on the following _fair_ basis:
1) I get to be a General.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

[RudyHuxtable]

OKay, the topic is the race to 1,000 posts, nay to post infinity...

Then this is my next post.

Since we know Narf has pooh on the brain (his OWN words), we can only deduce that, in a Coddleston pie, is Pooh.

Bake at 475, mince, serve and enjoy!

Bon Appetit!

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

As you might know, the Hut is planning an attack on the B&G soon. We would welcome any additional forces being supplied by other people's militaries.

[David E. Gervais]

Thread name change due to popular demand.. (I don't know where 'popular' is hiding, but I'm sure he's lurking somewhere in the shadows.)

Muahahahahaha, Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

This is an official request.

We would like to gather strength for the upcoming war. Anyone with leftover fleets and other military materiel please put your unnecessary military units under the command of the Hut Higher Command Echelons. Anyone who does so will be rewarded with free drinks at the Hut for the rest of their life. For immortals (such as Malfador and David), this means free drinks for 1000 years.

We thank you for your attention.

This.

Yes.

[Kamog]

I have to go see the dentist tomorrow for a checkup. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
I don't like going to the dentist because I'm scared that he'll find some problem.

You know, how come if you crack a tooth or get a cavity it can never heal naturally? You have to get it fixed by artificial means by sticking metal or ceramic or something to it. I mean, if you break your arm, it will eventually heal, but why can't a tooth heal? We think that humans are at the top of the evolutionary ladder but some animals are able to regenerate all sorts of body parts and recover from major injuries that will permanently cripple a human. You cut a starfish in half and each half will grow into a new starfish. Crabs can regrow missing limbs. Sharks can regrow new teeth. How come humans can't do that?

[RudyHuxtable]

That's a VERY good question. Bones in your body heal no problem, but for some reason teeth are a one shot deal. Good luck. Isn't that thing about Starfish an urban legend?

I will say this, though. My mother knew a guy who had all of his teeth knocked out and he had a third, THIRD set of teeth underneath, so you never know. Maybe you've got a gem waiting under there for you.

200th Post!

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Read that thing about starfish in a science book in elementary. *shrug*

[Suicide Junkie]

Bones do heal cracks and breaks, but they don't regrow large pieces.

[tesco samoa]

Is this the race to 1k what happened

[narf poit chez BOOM]

1k was too small.

[NullAshton]

We reached it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Probably why it was too small.

[NullAshton]

I reached it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

RudyHuxtable said:

Not an urban legend. In fact, there is a law in the Chesapeake Bay region about not cutting up starfish because people would cut a starfish into four to five pieces to kill it (starfish are a natural enemy of oysters, an endangered species here). What would happen was that instead of killing one starfish, five new ones would grow from the body pieces.

This sounds like a great idea for a SciFi story. Hmmm........

[NullAshton]

The starfish people!

[kerensky]

Now would they be undefeatable or should they have some hidden weakness???

[NullAshton]

Stab em in the brain http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Yeah and...

[kerensky]

You know spam can be quite usefull.

[NullAshton]

Yes. Yes it can. Some people think it's tasty.

[kerensky]

Yes you can fry it, eat it in a snadwhich, eat it cold, and fix it a half dozen others ways.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[NullAshton]

Spam isn't good on your computer however.

[kerensky]

I find it quite amusing at times... Like when they want me to refinance my house that I don't own... Or get free money..

[NullAshton]

Hehe...

[NullAshton]

I got one saying that I had some bank account which I didn't have.

Must go now, my SE game is calling me. Unfortunately, my personall pc doesn't have internet but has SE on it.

Bye!

[RudyHuxtable]

Spam is good. Spam is tasty. I will add Spam to the menu at the Hut!

[Jack Simth]

Hey! The name changed!

[NullAshton]

Spam is good!

Need a spork to eat it with, though.

Monty Python Spam Song

Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings wearing horned helmets. Whenever the word "spam" is repeated, they begin singing and/or chanting. A man and his wife enter. The man is played by Eric Idle, the wife is played by Graham Chapman (in drag), and the waitress is played by Terry Jones, also in drag.
Man: You sit here, dear.
Wife: All right.
Man: Morning!
Waitress: Morning!
Man: Well, what've you got?
Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam;
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam...
Waitress: ...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam...
Vikings: Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam!
Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.
Wife: Have you got anything without spam?
Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Wife: I don't want ANY spam!
Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?
Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!
Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam... (Crescendo through next few lines...)
Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?
Waitress: Urgghh!
Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam!
Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up!
Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam.
Wife: I don't like spam!
Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam beaked beans spam spam spam and spam!
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off.
Man: Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then?
Waitress: You mean spam spam spam spam spam spam... (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words)
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam!

And that was just obscene. All that spam.

[NullAshton]

Hehe, sorry about that 200 page spam...

[RudyHuxtable]

Excessive. Simply excessive.

[Kamog]

There seems to a lot of people moving to Alberta recently.
One of my oldest friends is moving there in a couple of weeks,
and one of my coworkers will be going to live in Calgary
within a month or two. Their reasoning is that taxes are
lower than in British Columbia here, housing is cheaper, and
there are more jobs available. I might consider doing the
same thing if I ever get fired or decide to quit my current
job... I really don't see any downside to doing so, except
it's cold in the winter, which really isn't a big deal unless
you spend a lot of time outside.

[RudyHuxtable]

Kamog, I love you, but that post changed the topic from Spam. Shame on you.

[NullAshton]

So 200 page spam is out of the question?

[RudyHuxtable]

Well, I love Spam as much as the next guy, but I can only have so much before needing an antacid.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Eeeugh. Spam is NOT good. I abhorr all foods for which animals were killed. You ask me, then why do I spend so much time at the Won-Ton? Well, as you might recall, I only ordered two cups of tEEE, Phong blend, and an extra-strong Galactic Core, so I'm sticking with my principles.

[RudyHuxtable]

Strategia, you do not need to eat the meat-like mush.

I only ask that you crush our enemies at the B&G with weapons that turn people and animals into that meat-like mush.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

On it, Sir.

Oh, I believe the first fleet of Super Star Destroyers has just dropped out of hyperspeed and is awaiting orders.

ATTACK!!!!!

[RudyHuxtable]

Why has the title of the thread been changed to imply that Spam is bad? This is not true. Spam, in large quantities is a nono, I agree. But bad by and large? Come now...

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Because Spam IS bad.

[NullAshton]

But spam is good!

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Spam is bad. Most DEFINITELY for your computer. If you stick a blob of Spam (the best word to describe it) in your CD drive, your entire PC gives out on you.

[NullAshton]

Meh. Spam isn't good for your computer...

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Spam isn't good for your HEALTH. Physical AND mental.

[NullAshton]

Maybe. We need a new topic.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

A few options:

Bears
FBWs
BWII
FBWs
Growltigga (and his recent demise)
FBWs
Canned vegetables
FBWs

Oh, and perhaps FBWs.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Update Report.

Recent Combat Acquisitions and Destructions:

-Half the B&G is gone.
-Mr. Tigga is dead.
-The highrise office building from where the B&G was controlled has been vaporised by a high-powered Battlecruiser ion beam.
-RD is in custody.
-AZ is..... well, MIA. We haven't heard from him yet.
-The Angel of Death is aligned with AZ and therefore she has not fought yet.
-Approx.45% of the city is reduced to rubble by plasma bombs.

End update report.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

We will soon be in posession of the deed to the B&G.

[NullAshton]

Let's hope we didn't vaporize it.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

What, the deed or the B&G? We can do wthout the B&G building, the Hiigaran fleet's production capabilities will have it standing again in no time, but the deed..... well, we need that.

[NullAshton]

What if we vaporize the deed by accident?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Then we vaporize the vaporizer..... unless it's you, me or Rudy of course.

[NullAshton]

Ah. Of course. Lets vaporize the deed anyway, then use our team of lawyers to get another deed for the land.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

I know something else; let's soak the deed in Inkvine fluid, then ignite it.

Yes people, the attack forces from Caladan, Giedi Prime, Draconis IV and Arrakis have arrived!

[NullAshton]

Cool. Some of my own COMCA's will join the fleet, just as long as capship mod starts working http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Woohoo! Less than ten posts to go!

Captain.

I mean, who ever heard of a Lieutenant being Joint Chief?

Oh, sorry NA.....

[NullAshton]

Feh, this title is meaningless. Just shows how many posts you've made...

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

So WHAT?!? I like it!

edit: updated all the way to Baseship and Light/Med/Heavy carriers

edit2: updated, now includes transports

[NullAshton]

Lol, 3D ASCII art?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

No, it meant that he didn't care about the graphics and wouldn't mind using 2D ASCII art shipsets.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

and with this (the ASCII Coalition) the thread of this topic has been changed again.

You don't know it, but I'm behind ALL topic changes in this thread up to now.....



Th3 3v1l h4xx0r 5tr1k35 4941n!

[NullAshton]

No you're not.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

You THINK I'm not, but in fact I am. In fact, I am a powerful energy being from another dimension and I can hack the servers AND people's minds without problem, so all topic changes you see were me, inside the servers, posing as a sent data pakcet from a user.....

[NullAshton]

Right...

[narf poit chez BOOM]

StrategiaInUltima is a mindless drone!

And according to him, he said so! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[NullAshton]

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!

[RudyHuxtable]

I'm me. And I'm you. Trust me.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

And I'm Rudy.

[Rathar]

La

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

And I'm you too.

I posed as "you" for that.

[Randallw]

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I'm Schizophrenic,
and so am I. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

No you're not schizophrenic, you're a subjugate part of ME.

Prepare for a time-delayed attack of paranoia.

[Randallw]

No paranoia for me, I just took my medication.

[NullAshton]

Okay, we're off topic. The land at the Bar & Grill has been glassed. We just nuked a porta-bar that Raging Deadstar placed down... We probally need to send out our forces in a search pattern for the remaining survivors.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Yes. I think it's time to relax again, get back to normal state.

And btw, has NOBODY noticed by hints at BWI and BWII? BWI: The Great War, the Drench War? Hello?

[NullAshton]

What happens to the bacteria?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

They're filtered out by the biofilter. I just saw an episode of Voyager and the idea for the scene just sprang to mind.

And does NOBODY get it?!?!?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

erm.....

-BWI: The Drench War
-[]WI: The Trench War

Get it?

[NullAshton]

Not really...

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

I give up.....

WWI: The Trench War
BWI: The Drench War

Get it now?

(note: the denominator The Great War can be applied to both)

[NullAshton]

Kind of...

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Oh forget it.

[NullAshton]

Back to spam!

[RudyHuxtable]

That was the strangest line of conversation I've ever seen.

Yes, let's talk about Spam again.

[NullAshton]

I saw a picture of spam in a CD rom drive once...

[RudyHuxtable]

I saw Spam in my mouth once.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

I saw tins of Spam in a Greek supermarket once.

They didn't call it spam though.

[NullAshton]

Here, we call spam mystery meat.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Here the official name of "Spam" (the pinkish blob, not the electronic commercials for credit cards, penis enlargements and 18+ sites) is "Smek". Just about sums it up don't you think?

I call Spam "what happens when you click on a spam message for a penis enlargement and actually USE the pills/device/whatever without safety precautions such as a concrete shell around you d**k". But I just made that up.

Mystery meat hmmm..... appropriately named, for the first part, but are you sure it actually IS meat?

[NullAshton]

Okay, mystery something...

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Mystery something-that-does-splat-when-it-hits-the-ground-from-whichever-altitude-you-drop-it-and-stays-in-one-piece-even-though-it's-supposed-to-explode-into-a-lot-of-disgusting-little-kirby-like-pinkish-blobs

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Geesh is there NOONE online then?!?

[NullAshton]

Sorry, had to go to sleep.

[Kamog]

What is the Scroll Lock key on the keyboard for?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I just realised I have no clue what it's for. I know what all the other system keys are for, but not that one.

It doesn't seem to prevent me from scrolling.

[Caduceus]

Here's what I found:
http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mscrolllock.html

[Caduceus]

Although we have a use at my house for the scroll lock key, it is used to switch between two computers sharing the same monitor, keyboard and mouse... A KVM switch IIRC.

[David E. Gervais]

I just had to change 2 letters in the thread title to make it more 'believable'. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Strategia prepares to post a reply, when suddenly a maffioso with a tommygun bursts into the room and fires several rounds right through Strategia's chest.

Exit wounds.

edit: used the wrong smileys, is corrected now

[kerensky]

Huh????

Anyways, I finally found my way back to the forums after a very long week at work.

[kerensky]

Come to think of it, I don't think I've been online all week.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

DEG always does that automatically at the end of every one of his posts, he calls them "exit wounds". He tried putting it in his sig, but he typed it anyway (sheer habit, almost basic instinct, cannot be stopped, somebody restrain him before he's going to turn this forum into a place of Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif messages). He said it was too painful, the double exit wound.

[EaX]

i use it to scroll on excel without using the scroll bars, not very usefull.....

[David E. Gervais]

Well, Cheers! is an apropriate sign-off since everyone here knows my name. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

/me carefully examines several tomatoes before selecting the most rotten, then tosses it in DEG's exact direction at great speed.

[David E. Gervais]

/me sees the incomming mass of rotton tomatoes and wishes I had not worn my white pants, white shirt and white jacket today. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

the orange emoticon doesn't work, you get http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gifrange:

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

We are dying out people..... remember the days when there were new posts at a good rate? And why is Alneyan so quiet lately? He's online often, but I've rarely seen new posts by him lately.....

[NullAshton]

I have to sleep every now and then...

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

No you don't. Not when I say you can't.

[NullAshton]

I have to have sleep! Otherwise I start seeing floating numbers above people.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

So what? Hey, you're number 23, aren't you? You've got it floating above your head.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

You're slowing down Ashton.

[NullAshton]

You posted 2 times in a few minutes.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Thats cuz Ive got a lot of threads open at the same time and switch between then rapidly

[NullAshton]

Ah... I don't do that. I have a life.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Me2 but I just spend a lot of time on the forums.

Oh you mean a life outside of the computer?

[NullAshton]

No, a life elsewhere on the computer.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Oooooooooooh..... Well I play a lot of Homeworld2.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

You're slowing down..... Again

[NullAshton]

I don't care.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

I do.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Of the list of posts, 11 out of the top 17 (excluding stickys) are mine.

[NullAshton]

No topic time!

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

[NullAshton]

WILL YOU STOP THAT!

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Noo.....

[NullAshton]

Yeeeeeees...

[narf poit chez BOOM]

/me hands out two tennis rackets and a tennis ball.

[NullAshton]

Ashton starts attacking Narf with the tennis rackets.

StrategiaInUltima, you start throwing the tennis ball at him.

[Kamog]

Time to do my taxes again... /threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

/me squishes Ashton into a goey paste.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Strategia slices the tennis ball into two parts and puts the Ashton goo inside it, then closes it. He then goes on to take the two tennis rackets into one hand and thwacks the ball at mind-boggling speeds at the tiny mouse with the massive hammer. (Yes, somebody's read HHGTTG - a lot of times)

The ball hits the ground where the mouse stood when the ball got its forward motion, but the mouse jumped back two inched to antagonize the twin-tennis-racket-wielding Joint Chief. The ball hits the ground, and explodes. Ashton goo is propelled everywhere, and crawls rapidly towards the tiny furry white creature. It covers the creature, and a human form appears as the squealing gets louder.

When all the life force is transferred from Narf back to Ashton, Ashton stands firmly and healthily atop a smoking scorchmark, which was once a small furrry white creature with a giant hammer.

And they lived happily ever after - well, except Narf of course.

[NullAshton]

That was weird.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Yeah, having your body reconstituted from a Narf's life energy is generally perceived as a weird experience.

[NullAshton]

NullAshton burps up Narf's hammer.

Anyone want this?
