Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

My good GT, yes I am most jealous of your apparent chance of untold research with such compelling partners in a radically explicit game of twister. If by chance you are afforded another opportunity to imbib yourself in this form of artistic expression, it would be most fortunate if you would at least think of this poor old soul during the most explosive parts to the tune of at least explaining to the young things in question, that I'm thinking of them and wishing that I to could enjoy their creative activity. It would also be nice, to at least obtain some scientific evidence for these old worn out eyes to embrace and dream of bygone days..sigh http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Gryphin, I too like your new handle it has pizzzaaasss. In regards to line dancing, I thought that was outlawed throughout the universe because of its most barbaric ritual overtones, let alone its consequences on our young people of today.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

ps. is our pbw game up and running yet, does anyone know, I received notice to upload before 17th, just want to make sure its still down before i try again....

'ello all. thought that id pop my head in here for a moment to interject some of my wiseassery regarding The High Gryphin's new handle. When not imbibing intoxicating substances, do you simply revert back to 'Gryphin?'

edit: excelent, the forum upgrades allow my user-rating to show up! im a little confused as to why its so high though.

GT, Gryphin would have you know, you are too young and a kat to know about the The Gryphin Position or Circle the Wagons.
Besides, beings that slaughter line dancers should never be allowed the pleasures of TGP or CTW.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Hi Puke, good to see your still around, sober or not http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif wondered what happened to you, thought maybe you tried some more home made sauce http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I agree, nothing like a good bruski now and then, even tho I prefer Canadian Club,
good to see you back

ChardoMOn, we have started a game, however due to mechanical failure during the server move, the data files apparently became possessed. (I still think the mechanical junk piles have their own essance and do this to us on purpose), In regards to joining, you will have to contact Mephisto since he's the host.. I have no problem since we only just started but he has the final say...

Since we do have 2 new players and your fine game is going down the hill at the moment I would like to suggest to restart the game with vanilla 1.67. What do you think? I need votes from everybody on this.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

yes on the vote

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Its ok with me, we weren't that far into it to make a difference, so starting a new fresh game should be no problem....(unless the mechanical essance once again connives to interfer once more)

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

And K-M make the game auto roll on 48 or 72 hours and join the game.

That way you will have the time to play the game when the turns get to be an hour long.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Restart works for me. Remember to talk nicely to the computers. They have feelliings also. You might consider sending them a care package of "chips" wrapped up in a nice "Ribbon" cable. That should give their drives a nice hard boot.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Saxon has been ill, something probably related to scientific research. And it was not research with fillies; he has branched out into the human species and will leave the gnus alone for at least a week. Saxon still has a sore throat, sneezes and a foul temper. Saxon does not mind starting the game again, though he is likely to rename his ships Hankie, Kleenex and Antihistamine.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Restart is acceptable to me, if a little annoying because I was cunning poised to employ the Godzilla tactic to good effect. Straight vanilla 1.67 with no bells or whistles is wonderschon with me.

Saxon, sorry to hear you are ill, if it is any consolation, I also have the sniffles and are becoming good friends with Dr Beechams

Mac, stop being a dirty old perv, one might be invited to the sort of paeties where cloths get removed but taking a video of the whole sheboogle is not acceptable

Puke, welcome back - good to hear your wise words and dulcet tones again

LOL, ROFL - too right my man, too right - my problem is explaining to Mrs GT why Kylie Minogue is an appropriate addiction

Can I suggest a new start date of: May 1

"Errr, ground control to Gryphin, come in Gryphin - Houston, we have a problem" - being facetious aside, I do not know if we can start the game on May 1 given that it is already May 20 - do you mean June 1? awww... we need to start before that, I was just getting ready to give Tesco Samoa the kicking he so rightly deserves!

"The Phong's Head Cantina May Dey"

Possible, very possible but I think we leave the game name to Mephisto and trust to his sense of humour to come up with an appropriate title for the game - at least you are not suggesting something involving kicking the stuffing out of tiggas!!

I am so sorry you will not have a chance to go bleetting up on poor defenceless tesco.

Um, Gryphin to Earth, The Tigga Alliance, and patrons of the ' Phongs Head Cantinna, We have recalibrated our internal cronometers and are now in sync with the rest of the quadrant.

Star date: May 22, 2002?

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Drats, how did you know?

Oh, easy really, just been having these weird premonitions where I realised that the whole galaxy would probably be ganging up on me to administer a long awaited and much humiliating thrashing... on the other hand, I have also had premonitions of doing an MTV video with Jennifer Lopez and both of these cant be true

poor defenceless tesco

My backside that Tesco is defenceless - you know what these damn Canadians are like - they swan about making you think they are lovable members of the Sierra Club and then next moment, they are laughing their heads off whilst a bear is ripping your leg off, a moose is trying to give you mouth to mouth rescucitation (sic!) and a raccoon is playing marbles with your happy sacks

Next thing you know they are playing Alanis Morrisette at you at top volume!!

in sync

I didn't know you liked boybands. Are you a bit of a Backstreet Boys fan as well - I can just see you going through the moves!! <wry grin - think of the image>

May 22, 2002

This is a joke right?

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

"in sync", have to admit I can only infer who they are or what you meen. I have never heard of the phrase 'boy band' or the band.
I will admit one of my recent visions other than teaching you good manners and to respect for your elders it to spend some qualty time with Samatha Fox.

No, I think 5/22/2002 is an good star date.

Gryphin - I am shocked that you are feeling so old and geriatric that you feel you need to show me some manners - please feel free to do so as I am always up for a laugh http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Sam Fox? hmmm, a little bit passe maybe, did you know that she a born again Christian nowadays? I always had you down more as a Sheryl Crow/Anastazia or Milla Jojovich type myself

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

"did you know that she a born again Christian nowadays?"
WOW!
My sweetheart has 3 of her CDs and the hots for her. This is going to be a rude awakening.

It is not a matter of feelling a need to teach you some manners. It is a desire. One I will realize.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Yep, that is the complete truth and I personally think that Sam Fox looks the better for it - she now have a nice curvy mature figure rather than the feeling as before that she had enough puppy fat for a litter of rottweilers

A desire to teach me some manners......hmmm..... me thinks this is how the entire international challenge started...... I said it before and I will say it again, "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough'

PS this grudge match is getting out of hand - I suggest a PBW game with you, me , Saxon and Mac, no bells and whistles, 3 planets and a small galaxy -Last one standing gets to be called "Ace", "Skipper" or "Tigerballs" by the other 3 to reflect his strategic and tactical genius

Saxon, sorry to hear your under the weather, you better start watching that night life over there, expecially since they don't have electricity. makes you wonder what they do all night.....apparently you need some rest, maybe a vacation to Canada or England...On 2nd thought, from what GT has stated the nite life is even more strenuous then Kenya, go to Canada, there you just have the mooses to worry about just ask Tesco.

I thought that somewhere back in the forum, discussion went one that in the new Version that the defender would be random as to who moves, shoots first especially at wormholes. I looked but couldn't find it, BUT does anyone one know if that was incorporated into the patches? Reason I ask, in my current game, I'm always the one who moves/shoots lst when going thru wormhole or defending one.

Sorry but the Home Office has just declared Saxon an undesirable and therefore not welcome in England - he will have to sneak through the Channel Tunnel with everybody else if he wants to come here.. oohh that was a bit radical and controversial!!

I will still be laughing when I cut your head off and stick it where the sun don't shine

Finger lickin' good

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

GT, it must have been the fire I remembered, I know they have problems with people trying to get thru the tunnel from those holding areas which has caused them a heap of trouble.

I wouldn't mind dancing with her or Liz H. either one would probably set my ticker off just being with them...... sigh one can only hope and dream.

Well Saxon could still try a sneak in on a fishing boat, this way he wouldn't have to take those meds because the aroma of the salty air and the fish would most definitly open his sinuses which would enable him to enjoy a fast recovery. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

On a serious note:
Can I suggest a new start date of:
May 1? It is an easy to remember date and has the double entre of "May Day, MAy Day, May Day". Seems apropriate.

Also I'll take you up on the BBQ and Brewskis next time I'm in Toronto. Same goes for me, anyone, if your ever in the Cleveland area, let me know and stop in for a few or whatever..

A restart of the "Galactic Bash" with the same parameters as before.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Nope, these damn frogs are frothing on their leashes - it is definately a case of letting them slip before they go off and maim and destroy etc

To all players of the Galactic Bash - we want to settle this machoistic posturing nonsense once and for all so because the main game has gone and kyboshed on us, what we want to do is resurrect that game (with all 7 of us - roleplay city) and then have a private 4 way small/medium galaxy gut fest with the main ponces from the Cantina to duke it out
