Been wanting to say that since I first discovered the CMBO board.....

And let me be the first to whine, so when is CMx2 coming out?

I would also like to recommend

The tradition dealing with new CM offerings. When you first open up CMAK go with a default setting QB as the first battle.

I can remember both my CMBO and CMBB first QBs with great clarity and delight. (lost both)

That might be your tradition, mine is to play the first scenario on the list. QBs against the AI are for wimps ;) .

Then how come I always lose! :confused:

The CMBB QB gave me 3 L6 Italian tanks and a green platoon against a T-34 with a green platoon - but it was a heck of a good fight.

First scenario on the list? Certainly the sign of a mindless sheeple following the dictates of the running class!

BTW, I most indignantly protest the mention of Death three times in the heading of this thread with not a word about Famine! This media bias has got to stop!

I like to think the reason I always lose the initial QB with a new CM product is due to the fact that Madmatt, Charles and the rest of the cabal secretly hate me.

They arrange to sent me a special disk with a preloaded QB that they know I cannot beat.

Devilish are these evil doers, evil to core, worse than a bus load of constipated Mormon Apaches with a need to gather up some hair.

No, no and again, no. There's nothing at all secret about their hatred of you. It's jolly well right out in the open, you great, jug-eared buffoon.
They've even commissioned a series of "Gawd, don't you just hate that drooling imbecile, Hans" commemorative plates.
Buy your set now. They can only become more valuable.

Anyway, my very evanescence lends me a certain delicate and wistful beauty, don't you think? Imagine all those people gathering to commemorate my passing and reminiscing about the "good old days" when they were starving. They'll never reminisce about the good old days when they were dead.

What, I DO NOT DROOL, it's a medical condition connected with my left sinus and that small parasitic worm I picked up in Africa.

As to the rest of it, death is always mentioned before famine...just what kinda people do you think we are? We are not your immediate family, we have couth and act in a deeboner way.

So take that and reflect on what Rousseau's evil brother wrote about the slack savage - it might, just might, apply to you.

All mortals find their way to you, and as your faithful servant I am honored to shepherd as many of them your way as I do. Indeed, absent my efforts in preparing the crops, Pestilence would reap a smaller harvest on your behalf. Now if we are to maintain a smooth working relationship and continue snuffing these yokels at a pleasant rate, a little more appreciation on your part would be useful and welcome.

Pestilence Yes, although I do have an excellent prophet, I feel that both you and I are not getting the support, no the adulation we deserve out in the sticks. War gets all those flashy gadgets like Panzers and H-Bombs that people love so much. But what do you and I get? I get babies with distended bellies and shriveled up old folks collapsing in the dust and you get pus and maggot-infested rotting flesh. What kinds of images are those?

I tell you, I've been thinking we should hire a consultant and rethink our whole campaign. Develop a program that will catch the public's eye and make them look forward to starving and coming down with ebola. I think a full page ad toward the front of the New Yorker would do wonders for us. Sort of like those "Think Different" ads Apple was running a few years back. We should get some world famous celebs photographed in the last stages of malnutrition or leprosy. Hmmm, I wonder if Twiggy is busy...

Bless Cabron66. He couldn't have chosen four better horsemen if he actually had a sense of humour.

Can you imagine how tedious the joke would have become if he'd chosen, say Slapdragon? Oh, that's right. Slappy doesn't bother with Grog issues anymore, being too busy teaching the little children about how 'The Real World' works. You know: guns, law-enforcement, politics, the sound of one sheriff's deputy droning on endlessly...

You're all second rate horse jockies compared to the real menace of our time. That's right I'm talking the Mold Encrusted, Ant Infested,
Pus Pouch Carrying, Head Maggot himself.

Seanachai could spend an hour alone with each of your four horsemen and emerge as fresh as a daisy.

One hour alone with Goodale in his basement
would render him incapable of uttering more than one syllable grunts. (Although that could possibly be looked upon as an improvement over some of the stuff he does post).

The Surgeon General has determined that extended exposure (more than a minute) to MasterGoodale has harmful side effects. The exposure doesn't actually kill you, but you may want to kill yourself to end it. :eek: :D

But these make sense.

By all that is holy and righteous (which excludes the BBC), no fear is greater than the fear of the unknown. Let us examine these so-called Horsemen.

Pestilence-counter with bug spray
War-counter with full media coverage
Famine-counter with McDonalds
Death-counter with Ted Williams' Son

Goodale-counter with ????????????

Even that Carbone fella avoided him like the plague he is. He never threatened to take one of Goodale's posts (and Lawdy, there have been a ton that would be worthy) to the moderators.

And that would mean he owes his worthless existance to my good friend Pestilence. Perhaps Famine, being the kidder that he is, will starve the leper to Death so that Goodale has no purpose in existance what-so-ever. Then there are Goodale's happy (or are those silly grins a sign of idiocy?) followers. That is another story

Much as the inquisitive scientist loves to observe a volcano on the verge of an eruption or a storm-chaser willingly drives towards a tornado, so we watch, in wonder, at what Goodale will spew forth in his next eruption.

Although this is more in War's department, perhaps he won't object in this instance if I suggest that there should be a really neat N-bomb test coming up that you really ought to check out. Since there is some question over the actual yield, I think you should get really, really close. You wouldn't want to miss anything now would you, hmmmm?

I'm after thinking that all your recent remarks are like those of a girl, or certain boys, that want to be treated roughly by the objects of their unsteady and uncertain affections, but do not have the courage to admit it.

If you want to trade insults, taunts, and words with me, you little lamb, you'd best go on over to the Peng Challenge Thread and take more than some Master Goodale inspired bit of courage with you, you mincing bit of muddled manhood.
