Guff, damn, these Germans are too fast

Does your ego know no bounds? You should be more modest - I have seen howe you have changed the name of your homepage to 'Gryphin's Portal to Unbridled Delights'!

We are not changing the name of this thread to that I can tell you - how about 'Grumpy Gryphin's Garrulous Goosing Gaseous Gropefest'

Moose Kissing is relevant as there are plenty of Canadians on this site

Plasma Torpedoes - I have seen Anti-Matter Torps and Quantum Torps - never seen Plasma Torps - is this a reference to the hot air issuing from your backend?

Yep, the human zeppelin is still working here

I have found that a stiff upper lip isn't always what is called for but I see that you found your weapon and attacked with the mighty pen ... hope they are appropriately apologetic for being such louts as to have you show your "oh so happy to be here" face..for the $50k they so generously pay you for being an indentured servant.

I do tend to be a bit anti-establishment as of late... I apprecate a battle of wits but not with unarmed men.. which always leads me to speak with the janitor rather than the vice presidents.

mac make a directory in the seiv root directory and call it mod.

then place all the different mods in that directory..

Then in the root directory edit the path.txt file to point to the mod directories..

ie mod/tdm-modpack or what other directories there are...

and just edit this file to try different mods...

what was shipped 1.50 or 1.60 ???

Sorry GF, just picked this up - ahem... are you suggesting that ALL men are unarmed in the wits department or just the ones you have been scrapping with??

Dear Tiggles (reverting to previous non-acceptable nominclature)
I am suggesting... or stating if you would prefer that most men taken in the general sense of HUMAN KIND (of which I am assuming you are a member of, tigga or not ) which are in positions of power (supposed or real) are mostly blowing hot air to keep their egos, positions, or self-acceptance up to the over-inflated norm that is basic SOP.

Remind me, my dear solicitor, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif , to never offer any back up to you, as its true... tiggas eat their own.

Mac, you are too old to vote - calling this the G&G thread is a little too egocentric for my liking - something like 'La Cantina' idea from one of the other Shrapnel forums would be as jolly idea - given my heritage, can't we call it "The Olde Frog and Frigate" - any G&G action (what a horrible concept and can I make it clear I am talking about our upcoming game where apparently "Gryphin is going to blow me to smithereens with his plasma torpedoes") can be dealt with under a thread simple specified as the "International Challenge"

On a separate matter, some of you may be delighted to here that I have been granted a week off paid, a substantial rise in salary and terms and I am replacing my former line manager in that role. She has been moved to human resources. Huzzah

Now, the new problem is thar my wife is on a pensions conference in Edinburgh next week so I have been given permission by her-who-must-be-obeyed-at-all-costs to enjoy myself - gosh

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Cheers Gryph, one thing lawyers are good at generally (other than good at being the scum of the galaxy and a bane on humankind) is negotiation - actually, to be fair to my ultimate boss, he is a pretty cool dude and understands the fact that in the larger firms like mine, you have a differential between the fee-earners (ie the lawyers that do the work and bring in the money)and the admin and management personell - we have a problem that our admin/management side is so large that it is like the tail trying to wag the dog - my boss thinks I do a good job, I have some good clients and at the end of the day, if I leave, he loses fee income, if the manager leaves, he loses paying someone's salary - pity though cos Helena (the Claudia Schiffer lookalike) thinks I look like Shrek again now that she knows I am not going

IMPORTANT - Saxon, I am NOT now going to Raleigh next week as my boss is putting me on leave - I am trying to find out who is and where they are staying so that I can ask them if they can bring back your copy - my brother Steve may be in New York if that helps

On the forum front, I think we wind down the G&G thread - it is too egocentric, this thread is MADE by the contributions of all the people, not just you and me

I think the new general discussion forum is called 'Ye Olde Phong's Head' or something

I will set it up at exactly 16.00 my time (ie in 2 hours) so speak now or forever hold your peace

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

GT,
I agree with the "egocentric" part.
How about "Galactic Bar and Grill"

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Galactic Bar & Grill is good too, if a little north american for us europeans

OK, we have

Ye Olde Phong's Head

or

Galactic Bar & Grill

What do we change it too - ladies and gentlemen, place you bets and cast your votes now.

Tesco, as it is your thread, I think only you can change the name so please clock on at 12.00 UK time (6pm for you tonight??) and change to whatever choice has most votes

for us, I think Gryph casts 1 for 'Galactic Bar & Grill', I cast one for 'Ye Olde PHong's Head'

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Gryphin, I like that one, Maybe Tesco could just change the name on this thread instead of starting a new one.

1 vote Galactic Bar & Grill

Just because I am a liittllee bit older doesn't mean I have Finely Articulated Rectal Tremors as some have previously insinuated earlier within this thread, my wonderous years of fortitude have given me the insight into the meaning of life, so you see my mind is quite stable contrary to the aforementioned "unstable mind", besides my hearing aid works, I got new reading glasses, found my cane, both wrists work, and I still continue to admire bouncing grapefruits when afforded the chance. thus my vote should be counted, I'm not senile yet, at least I don't think so, hmmm, have to research that... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Being the perceptive folks you are, I thought you'd like this. Click on the

hard enough, you can see her ghost. I don't know about that, but check out
the picture hanging on the wall (it might take several seconds to display
the ghostly image), I bet it will come to you. Please be patient.

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

GrowlTigga,
Do the honnors, Start the threads in your name.
"International Challenge" is good for post directly related to the Galactic Conquest by th Eries of Gryphn
"Bull and BattleCrusier" or "Tea and Torp" for side banter and other culteral studies.
Hmm, "The Gryfin and Growler Saloon", (or some other variation on the spelling of Gryphin), woulnd not be bad and I think the others would like it.
For those who are wondering:a Growler is:
1 : one that growls
2 : a container (as a can or pitcher) for beer bought by the measure
3 : a small iceberg

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Ok Gryph, is it agreed that we start a new thread (which I think should be Gryff and GT neutral in its title) by way of a general discussion and 'beers round the bar sort of chap style' forum

when the game gets going, we can then kick off the international whomping session

ps didnt know that a growler - small iceberg? great

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Growl,
Yes, I expect the new threads to be ego neutral.

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

GT,
Congrats on your success at the office.
I should have known better than to worry.

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

I always think best in the morning.
How about "Frog and Frigate Galactic Gathering"
Or some variation you come up with.

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

M'Lady Frye, in regards to racing stripes upon my found cane, I have been thinking of joining a cane racing club as this would spice up my doterage and bring back the thrills of yesteryear, one of the requirements is that one must implore specific art work on one's candy cane style of transport. Alas, I'm do not enjoy the fortune of being gifted with the touch. Besides, I have trouble triming walls near the ceiling as the Mrs has brought to my attention on a number of occasions http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif however, one must try new things to increase one's awareness that surrounds him/her, so I may yet give it a go.

If you read the first two pages of any thread it will usually explain what the thread is about.
In this case GrowlTiagga and I ended up in a lot of off topic banter and were clogging up other threads. tesco started this one for the general purpose of banter and other off topic conversations. It is not specific to us, At the time it seemed reasonable to tesco to use our handles. We will soon start a new one with a more generic name proably reffereing to a "pub" or someting.
