Growltigga strides into the real cantina.
"Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears. I have come to ask for your support in the greatest battle of them all. A crime has occurred, a crime so heinous that it makes all of Dogscoff's predilections look positively tame. The future of your beloved cantina is at stake. A foe so foul is trying to cast confusion on you all, is trying to steal our way of life and relaxation, and is trying to usurp the FBWs. We must take up arms to defend our right to enjoy this cantina. I ask each and every one of you to join me in this crusade, to defend the free world against plagiarism, to hold back the forces of chaos and dishonesty which threaten our very existence. Why should you fight? I hear you ask. But think friends and comrades. Think of your lives and think of the future. This is the crux, the moment, the fulcrum. This is the time where you have the ability to change the future, to influence the way things will come to pass. Think of yourselves in the future, would you be proud knowing that at this critical moment, you chose to keep out of the fight and not defend that which we love, I ask you, can you hold yourself up to be men knowing that when the call came, you chose to submit to slavery by evil forces rather than defend your freedom? The call to arms has come, my legions are marshalled in the car park, Barry is thirsting for blood, the enemy is across the road, will you join me this fight or cower craven behind the cantina bar? PS every warrior will get a free 10,000 mineral tab.... Growltigga pulls out his claymore, checks his blue and white warpaint and hoists up his kilt FREEEEEDDDDDOOOOOMMMMMMMMM |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Actually GT, you are proving that there is no freedom. As soon as someone tries to make some competition, you set out to destroy him. If there truly were freedom here, he would be allowed to live in peace. But alas, GT is a power-mongering, tyrannical dictator. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Got it in one Imperator Fyron and remind me to make a note that when the revolution comes, you will be the first candidate to try out the scorpion pit
Actually, and to quote the phrase, there can be only one cantina, other bars can open where they like BUT there is only one Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill and Phongs HEad Cantina. The other one is pure plagiarism.. if it wants to call itself the Brewski Bar or whatever, then no problem but IT IS NOT YE NEW GALACTIC BAR AND GRILL & PHONGS HEAD CANTINA In the real world, that would be called infringement of IP rights, passing off and a whole host of other legal points that get me quite excited and reaching for my calculator. As I cannot do that in the SEIV forum world, I must resort to marshalling my military might and laying siege to the place [ October 31, 2002, 09:30: Message edited by: Growltigga ] |

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
and therefore it is a direct copy and therefore an infringement of the inherent intellectual property rights Gryphin and I have in the cantina. We will have moral copyright. It is also technically passing off under various European Directives and I can think of another couple of international regulations that apply. As I cannot prosecute in SEIV land, I resort to type and order my legions to destroy it.
As you like scorpions, I will ensure that when the revolution comes, you are the first to be tortured on the Rectal Wire Brush Reaming Machine. And please dont come out of the closet by saying that you like that happening to you either!! [ October 31, 2002, 09:37: Message edited by: Growltigga ] |

"Two wrongs do not make a right" is a bit of a generalisation dont you think? I suspect you need to analyse each and every situation on a case by case basis.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
I have steared clear of this thread thus far because I have seen no need to say anything, but I cannot let this rampant and blatent missinformation continue to go unnoticed.
Lawyers are not EVIL because of their knowledge or expertise, lawyers are EVIL because they in league with the lawn gnomes, which as we all know, run starbucks and work in Microsoft's mailroom. Ultimately, as all people who took kindergarten advanced political science and its effects on legos know, the upper class of gnome society is primarily not lawn gnomes at all, but ducks in silly masks. And of course as anyone who has spent any time studying Pokemon and sixties B-movies knows, the ducks are attempting to control our minds through the use of tin foil and cheese, which is why you should never have these two products in your house, especially not while the hair dryer is running, because as we all know the hair dryers are beaming Marx's manufesto (groucho's, not karl's [that bastard stole my watch!]) into our toes when we sleep. And if you people would just take the time to read a little, maybe pick up a copy of How to make Grandma Murth's Five Alarm Chilli you would know that the toaster is just an innocent bystander in this whole affair and you would stop hitting the poor toaster with a golf club because that is just mean! So in conclusion, buy new eye toner, it may make you blind, but damn will your eyes look good! |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
ZeroAdunn, please post to the cantina more often. That is exactly the sort of deranged rambling that we just love in this cantina.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Wow! Hold it GT!! You're no spawn of Satan, you're just a plain and simple tyrannic dicator. Nothing special.
Sorry, what I meant was that to be a LAWYERS is evil. They are the spawn of something far worse than Satan (who's not such a bad guy as everybody thinks he is), lawyers are the brainchild of economics. I HATE ECONOMY!! Alas, it's necessary evil. You can't live with it, but you can't live without it. |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Timstone, I may be missing something in the Dutch/English transalatiuon but why do you hate ECONOMY, do you mean you hate capitalism?
You have to remember that lawyers are one of the oldest professions. In Ancient Greece/Ancient Rome, they were employed as arbiters on behalf of the common people to counterbalance the authority of the state, and to aid the democratic process by ensuring that anybody had access to a appropriate advice. That is what happens now, say you are caught doing something nefarious in Kleigat Pampercity, who is going to stop the police doing what the hell they want with you and breaking all sorts of laws. The answer is your inaliable right to appoint a lawyer, their purpose is to speak for you and to ensure that your constitutional rights are not abused. It is all about balance. The real reason why people dont like lawyers is becasue they have to use them when something bad is happening. People are already in a poor situation and having to pay for advice is just something else that adds to their woes (it is strange how many people DONT MIND paying their lawyers' fees when they get the result they want).. I am a corporate lawyer so I get a bad name as people think I am responsible for all the woes on teh global stock markets etc. They actually seem to forget that I act for banks that are lending money to companies to acquire other companies. Generally, this means that the workforce keep their jobs and dont get laid off, that the company has the funds to prosper and grow and that more people get jobs. It is capitalism and certain elements of capitalism are despicable, but at the end of the day it is one of the few economic systems that ACTUALLY WORKS... Feudalism didn't, communism didn't, you may not like it but capitalism generally does work |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
*Dogscoff is standing by the bar, when he sees a big lever labelled "narrator".
Never saw that before, I wonder what it does... He pulls the lever. I deep, disembodied voice rolls across the room, and everyone stops to listen, wondering just where it's coming from. "...and so began the Cantina Wars. The battle lines were drawn, and forces rallied to each side. Brother was pitted against brother, Bill Gates clone against Bill Gates clone, mongoose against mongoose and Taz against a cardboard cut-out of Taz in one of the most brutal, vicious, bloody and downright wierd campaigns ever fought..." |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Dogscoff, sorry me old muckajee but the FBW's and mongoose are all on our side.
The battle lines are drawn, the dreaded silence before the clash has occurred, and I am disturbed to see that my call to arms has not resulted in any mass enrollment to the cause, but simply triggered Fyron to spark a daft argument when he should be doing his homework, ZeroAdunn to start gibbering insanely about bad hair and lawn gnomes and Gryphin to start contemplating if he can find a virgin the Massachussetts area (faint hope).. I am disturbed at this lack of support for homocidal dictators |

Timstone, have a slight reality check, lawyers are not wealthy, the real fat cats are the business and entrepeneurs (but you cannt generally moan at the latter, after all they take the risks).
The real professional fat cats are the accountants, generally, accountants earn far more than lawyers, far far more indeed |

I agree with Fyron and I also agree with Dogscoff (and cant resist a bit of Pythonism either).
Supreme executive power must derive from a mandate of the masses, and not from some farsical aquatic ceremony bestowing kingship on one individual. The point about feudalism is correct, and one major point about feudalistic societies on a historical basis is that when the codex of laws extends to provide what we would describe as inalienable constitutional rights for the normal person, you generally find that this is the overriding force that leads to the gradual installation of a democratic society. I am pleased to say that historically, lawyers have always assisted this by being the profession that speaks up for the masses. If you live in a feudalistic society, my advice is dont revolt, simply instruct a really good firm of lawyers |
