Can anyone here sing?

[dogscoff]

New verses welcome:

I am the very model of an SE4 obsessional,
I quantify resources in organic, rad and mineral,
I know the race descriptions both societal and historical,
From Abbidon to Xi-Chung Hive in order catagorical,

I'm very well acquainted too with races non-material,
I found the Eee consortium to be somewhat ethereal,
When they spoke to me Last night they said my growth was quite astonishing,
While the dangers of strange warp points they were carefully admonishing,

I find trade beneficial but my policies expansionist,
Force me to attack my allies and that tends to get them really pissed,
I'll slag their worlds until their score's comparitively fractional,
A state which is conducive to surrender unconditional,

I'll conquer other races for advantage technological,
This aggresive behaviour's nothing short of pathological,
I'll have to pay a price for all my unprovoked atrocities,
My domination always triggers M.E.E. eventually,

In mid game I start construction of the miners monolithical,
My research and economy soon verge upon the mythical,
After that it entertains me to the point of the hysterical,
To build artificial worlds both in the ring-shape and the spherical,

I dream at night of building my dominion galactical,
I play from dawn to sundown with an eagerness fanatical,
I bore my friends to tears with tales of empires astronomical,
I waste my time at work writing songs like this so comical,

I've a hundred player shipsets, some sublime and some ridiculous
I read Shrapnel forums daily, both on-topic threads and frivolous,
I've played all the mods from TDM to Pirates to Proportional,
I am the very model of an SE4 obsessional,

Someone is rolling over in their grave, laughing their A** off. Was that Rogers and Hamerstiend? And did you get permision?
Toooooooo Funny.

The original was "The modern Major General" from Pirates of Penzance. Gilbert & Sullivan, I think.

Here ya go

This is too funny dogscoff. Great idea. Here's one...

I've tried my hand at modding to increase the AI quality
Too make them more a challange and reduce their odd propensity
for sending ships to colonize the reaches of the galaxy
ignoring death and danger and defying rationality

They send their ships through damaging phenomena continually
ignoring warnings that their ships encountered mines there previously
The whys and wherfores of their thoughts is something of a mystery
So I suppose that for a challange I should Play By Webery!

Great job!!!!

Anything for "A Modders Heart" sung to the tune of "A British Tar" (imagining John Rhys-Davies in "Raiders")...
