PS: I don't know how they fight against The Vanguard, but against AN they are not below average, they are downright useless for your alliance. And very useful for AN, giving us lots and lots of BPs and taking no city.
We've never had any intention of taking those cities. Why did you think we would? Because I told Argo I was clearing him out of 26? You think I 'have' to carry out the threat? Sorry buddy but I told him he'd need more birs and he didn't head the warning. I even gave him a deadline so you can't get fairer than that. As a promise is a promise (must be taken very seriously else we'd not know where we stood with each other) we cleared his city. Unfortunately, grabbing cheap BP from him and leaving his cities alone suits for now.
We make your guys stack ocean 26 and just laugh watching them pile up. We clear one of them now and again for BP. Argo has thousands of birs stuck protecting a few cities in O26 so logic dictates that there are either less biremes elsewhere or you've got cities producing biremes that you'd rather have as attack. Now do the math: Over 400 cities in O26 between us. Enough LS to clear his 6 cities many times over. If we want them we'll take them but for now we'll treat them as our play things because it makes us smile. Anyway, just to even the score up and so you guys have a chance of all getting in on a BP party I'm going to let you in on a little tip: We're going to clear some of Argonaughts cities of biremes again at some point over the weekend. There may even be some CS coming his way this time....or will there?
Now that's enough of the jokey stuff, let's straighten the serious matters out:
I will be asking Cactus immediately why he's harbouring me, although I would suspect that he's in the dark about it. In fact I'm also not sure who I'm being harboured from but if you're telling me I'm being harboured then I guess I'm a harboured player. When I do find the answers to these mysteries I'll be sure to update the thread. I'm still reeling from the fact that I contribute nothing to TP. I must confess that I thought I was a most-valuable member of the team. I'm positive that Cactus, once I've blown the lid on my being harboured, will look at the bigger picture and turf me out without haste.
I do feel rather proud that Robbyn is disappointed in me. Some of the best achievements in life come completely out of the blue. Unless I have a spectacular Friday it may well rank as the highlight of an otherwise dull week. I will however work on improving my levels of decency. You're not the first to comment on my lacking as you may well have guessed. In fact my very first recollection of somebody commenting was when I was 6 year old. I went and dropped my pants in a supermarket because I had an itch. Logic dictated at the time that my pants were getting in the way of successfully resolving the issue. My mum had also just bought me a snake belt (it was the 70's) and I needed very little reason to play with the fastener. I remember it was mainly blue with a red stripe. I did however manage to get rid of the itch before my mum gave me the mother of all wedgies in the chocolate isle. After that day I don't remember ever going back to that particular supermarket. I wonder sometimes just how much money my family spent each week and if it was my itch (and subsequent lack of business) that brought down the company as it went bust soon after.
I can't help but feel in the back of my mind that life would be more fun if we all dropped our pants more often but still the conservatives amongst us would only complain and you know what a pain they are to deal with. It's a good job they don't know I play Grep in my boxers whilst my dog licks my feet. I swear the less clothes I wear whilst playing the higher luck I have on attacks.
Anyhow, I am waffling, I guess we'll just continue to have a laugh, take the mickey out of the 'oh so serious' chaps and chap-esses and do as we please as long as we care to.
Notes: (
please only read the one directed at yourself)
Zeus: We knew he'd publish the messages. I saw this post the next morning and PM'd him to thank him for continuing the hilarity.
RHK: Thank you
Jorisva: You're right, I should get therapy immediately, but I won't as it would cost too much and my problems do not affect me directly in any discernible way.
Valael: Why should I change? I really don't see a reason but if you'd like to enlighten me I will give your ideas some consideration and then ignore you.
Jason: You can't help yourself...even after I cast favor like a loon on you in another world. And Jase, as Akaz has learnt this week, you cannot trust me an inch. For Christs sake even my tropical fish have learnt that I'm a shifty bugger. They have a memory of about 6 seconds but they still give me a sly 'we know your game' look when I walk in the room. I'm sure TV would be a lot stronger if I could get one of them a Grep account and let them join your team but unfortunately they keep getting the keyboard wet. Still, if another of you guys go inactive then perhaps we could give it a go?
Enemies: I must stress that sometimes I get luck 30% on an attack when I am fully clothed so please don't go automatically thinking the worst.
To all the 'older' English players: You may be curious as to which supermarket I bankrupted; it was a Fine Fayre.
For those not mentioned specifically above:
When Zeus and I are laughing like kids playing this game, well it was just so damn therapeutic. Who'd have thought that playing a war game could reduce you to tears of laughter? You guys should try it sometime. Go on think about it, when was the last time you wet yourself laughing at Grep? Never I'll bet.
