growltigga, Your High Pontificateness,
My sweetheart says she plays the same way you "claim" you will be playing.

Sinapus, (if you ever visit the Cantina), our visitor asked me to say "Hi". She is from Houston / Friendswood.

Dear Gryphin, your sweetheart appears to much further down the path to redemption than you. This is strange given her Texan background but still laudable.

I will help both of you to reach nirvana, the way of yen buddism is a trial but the strong will succeed and will reach affinity with themselves.

To progress Dear Gryphin, send me your money. A cheque will be fine but I will also accept international money orders. Keep in mind that they say "Money is the root of all evil", I wil take that evil from you to leave you fresh and reborn. Think of how much less burdened you will feel if all th evil in your life is gone - I will take this evil to me instead

growltigga, Your High Pontificateness,
It is easy to understand how one like yourself who is lucky to have one woman in his life why you would be confused. My sweetheart is from Massachusetts, my other lover is visiting from Texas and challenges you to find one thing wrong with that hallowed place.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 
Dear Gryphin, it is obvious that the spirits of evil tarnish your soul. It is clear that you have stooped so low that there is no depravity too heinous that you will not partake in. Verily, it is true that you will do anything TO anything.

Your soul needs to be restored to innocence. Only by relieving yourself of the burden of evil will you be able to do this. Money is that evil, send to me and I will relieve you of it.

With regard to Texas, get thee behind me Satan for it is well known that Texans are living evidence that Native Americans fornicated with buffalo

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 
Dear Chicken Tigga Ma(r)sala:

Interesting appellation...in Texas we are noted for our barbeque and our executions...but either way you get roasted.

Btw, the buffalo were in the plains states which albeit a valid way to explain Oklahomans is not applicable to Texans.

Growltigga May 24th, 2002 06:07 PM

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 
Dear Gryphin.. you need to relieve yourself of your evils.. you are doing to this conversation what the sodomites did to one another.

It is written in the Book of Cyril that a certain sects of 'Okies' would marry buffalo, but it was their offspring which were banished from the plains and who migrated to the south of the United States. These 'Texans' took to sticking their heads up raccoon's bottoms and wearing them like hats, acting pompous, eating disgusting food and as to what they fornicated with, well, frankly anything that stood still long enough, albeit I do understand that moustaches, short sightedness and an affinity for line dancing were considered desired traits in their partners.

There is too much money in Texas, hence it is a cesspit of evil. They would do well to enlighten themselves and send this money to me.

Brother Uberteufel, anger like that is only bad for your karma and the tranquility of those around you. You should look deep inside yourself brother, look deep inside that fat, flabby, unattractive exterior and see the depth of the anger within you.

You will find dear Mephisto that the anger results from the person you are trying to be. Trying to emulate Michael Schenker is bad for you, trying to look like Helmut Kohl is bad for you - throw of these vices, send me you worldly wealth and I will help you regain some peace, harmony and normality in your life, at least as much normality as a German can reach.

Hey Tesco, yep, not only Friday nites, but most nites, I only get on late at night because, a. one of my 2 boys are usually on it, or 2, I'm watching my granddaughter... so i'm on late at night usually around 10-11p.

But I do have a question for ya, I've been reading the threads the the info on Mega Evil, Question, is it possible for 2 players, ai or human or combination to both be Mega E at the same time??? I would think that with everything that is currently in the game, that this could be a possiblity. Just curious

I'm on for awhile if you want to chat, then my son has the computer to practice for his upcoming counter strike clan match, sigh, I need another computer....

hope your feeling better

Dogscoff, I'm sorry I didn't answer your question, even tho it does resemble him, I actually took the photo from the avatar section on this forum, but I will ck your site for the info. tks

Terran C, Most profound apoligies for the Manhatten, GT is in charge of seeing that everyone is accomodated with a brewski when they drop in, However, seeing how he has apparently reformed and is now a preacher, We shall have to appoint someone else to take over this aspect of the Cantina. We shall endeavor to rectify the situation asap, I know what its like to look foreward to something and end up dry http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Capnq, tks to you and SJ for the info, I was curious to see if it was possible and what changes it might put into the game, it could be quite interesting if it could be done. SJ said something about using a negative number and seeing if that would work, I'm not comp literate so I will leave that up to you and the others who know what they are doing in these areas. I was just curious. tks again , PS, You are entitled to a free drink of your choice here at the Cantina along with Terran C and SJ for answering my question and Dogscoff for my failing to answer his, I shall see who is taking over the bar and advise them on your iou's. The tabs on me... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Tesco, I don't know about the 4 player since were trying to get the main game going, but I'll wait and see what everyone else wants to do. Hey, do you want to take over the Bar duties here in the Cantina since the Tigga has reformed himself and apparently doesn't indulge in these barbaric drinking rituals anymore http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Tesco &gt; Do you think the Leafs still have a shot? They need to win the next two which I think is possible (33%) considering they outplayed the Hurricanes in game 4 (minus the silliness near the end) and lost in overtime in the other two. They just need to finish off the chances they get.

Having lost my faith over the weekend and rediscovered sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, I was looking forward to getting the Fabulous Ferocious Felicitous Fantastic Fast-fingered Frenzied Fighting Furry Felines of the Growltigga Alliance over to Mephisto.

Unfortunately, the Tigga mainframe has expired, and my work laptop's CD-ROM has also shuffled off this mortal coil.

This kmeans I can't get my race to Esel this week, and as I am going to be out of the country for the rest of the week and on holiday next week, I am not going to be around to get my PC fixed.

Please can I ask every one's forgiveness for delaying the game and being a right royal pain up the jacksy.

Mac its called port forwarding.

I highly recommend that you pick up a router like the Linksys 4 port hub

Or something like that.

At least use the free Version of zone alarm.

But... before you set them up or decide to follow that path read up on them.

Also you can always ask any questions here or private message.

You might upset your kids if you lock down all the ports.

I would like to see the blue and white raise the silver. They will win game 6.

In regards to age, the bartender ususlly is very good at ages, if he feels that the person is under age, a substitue is issued with the same color, blend and a special secret concoction that even tastes like the real thing, therefore, we don't worry about age limits.....further, by law, a parent is allowed to give his underage off spring a brewski, therefore, since everyone in the Catina is Parentis Loco, we substitute for parents thus it is allowable, I hope this puts your mind at ease..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 
Saxon, your story about having a bet riding on the outcome of your PBW gives me an idea for PBW funding:

PBW could offer a bet holding and management service. They could encourage players to play PBW for money. All players cough up the ordained amount at the beginning of the game, and the PBW team hold on to it until the winner is decided. Since the game could go on for months and months, the PBW crew could invest the cash in a "safe" investment and make a few pennies interest on it in that time. At the end of the game, they would decide the winner and pay out all the cash (minus interest). Lots of games with lots of players betting moderate sums could make this a viable venture.

Thy could also run tournaments with spectators placing bets, and PBW allocating odds based on previous victories etc.

If you think I'm serious about all this, BTW, you need another drink.

Edit: Wrong name. *hic*
