That... that was just beautiful, oh Speaker for the Chickens of Heaven! Truly remarkable words!

Although, I have to admit that an outside viewer, after reading this excerpt from the scrolls of truth, will immediately draw the conclusion that the members of GS have been using a bit too much incense in their temples.

What's with this thread...

Don't tell me we are going to have fun again with this game, are we.....

Shiber · June 15, 2003, 12:18

Btw... Herr Ralphus, that last picture WAS amazing!! I think I'm gonna make a desktop wallpaper out of it or something

civman2000 · June 15, 2003, 17:50

Herr Ralphus, I noticed that your descriptions of some of you artwork had some religious references. Would you be willing to elaborate on the religious beliefs of the Gathering Storm?

Daniel de la Civ, Priest of San Agustin and a Monk of the Abbey of San Bendito.

See? Now it reads "How to Cook For Four Voxians".

You missed some of the smaller words there, Mr. Shiber.

It reads: "How to Cook Sauces For Pouring Over Four Voxians."

The highest deity of the Gathering Storm is the Almighty Chicken, which is told to be blown in the Heaven by a gigantic storm yet before our times. An egg of the Almighty Chicken fell down on the World, right to the place known as Eye of the Storm. This egg brought the Spirit of the Chicken to the humble peasants of Stormia. They worked hard and went through many ages, some of which were good and let our people flourish, and some were bad and brought diseases and death to our peaceful citizens. All this is written down in the Book of the Storm, which is a part of the Scrolls of Truth, the most valuable possession of the People of Storm.

The text of the prophecy of the arrival of the armies of the Storm in North Estonia is told to be amazingly similar to the Revelation of Saint John the Divine, but this only shows, that this fellow John has stolen it out of our sacred scrolls.

The pictures of the battle were drawn by the Stormian artists Hans Holbein the Younger and Albrecht Dürer.

Although we can hear the Bells of Peace, yet another impression from the fierce battle. It shows a weapon, that had been kept secret so far, the Battle Chicken. It's enormous destructive power was unleashed near Inchon and Elipolis. Note the mastership of Stormian bio-engineering to increase the stableness of the chicken.

LOL!

I want to now become a card carrying member of the StormHawk Party. (Another LOL at the added "feature" to stabalize the chicken!

)

ManicStarSeed · June 16, 2003, 02:57

/me whistles, and a white StormDove flutters in...

Listen here..
You StormHawks are all the same. Pillage, Burn, Kill decimate....Bunch of chicken hawks, I swear

.

You know those pop points are people like you and me, well not quite, they do not even know what engineering is, but you get the drift....They are not just numbers on a screen. And you have such neat names for your precious "units" Pikemen and War chariots, We first called them plowcarts, then you Chicken Hawks take them , Put our children on them on and send them into battle. Giving their borthes pointy sticks to ward of armies of immortals. They die and do you blead? NO but families do....

Anyway, let me tell you... while you StormHawks were out galavanting, killing everones childern, We StormDoves have been hard at work making PEACE, you here me PEACE. Nothing final, mind you, but we are over earlier the misunderstandings that you sick depraved monsters thrive on. People are acting rational and gracious. HA. Go back yor your coops Chicken Hawks.

All we are saying is give peace a chance.
Mss,
StormDove

ManicStarSeed · June 16, 2003, 03:02

SPREAD THE LOVE.

Bring on the love

So GS has Engineering? You just told us it would take you 12 or more turns to get it? Why did you misrepresent you technological position?

rendelnep · June 16, 2003, 07:08

In legoland Mum is the word. We believe that long ago in the past the great Mother goddess stepped on some lego that the son had left on the floor. She tripped over, swore and n falling over created our land and probably the earth we haven't quite figured that one out yet so expect a civil war or something.
Anyway the first commandement sent s by the gods is that 'thou shall not leave large pile of lego that has been spread all over the floor

How to Cook Sauces For Pouring Over Four Voxians??

Modern cook books are weird...

Good one, really. I was expecting that you would answer with "How to Cook Forty Four Voxians", to which I would answer "How to Cook For Forty Four Voxians" and so on... But perhaps it's a good thing that this "dust war" is over, or else we might have ended up with "How to Cook with Flour For Four Hundred & Forty Four Voxians" and way beyond, or something.

Shiber · June 16, 2003, 07:22

We don't have Engineering, you misinterpreted MSS's comment.
You can verify that by checking the research cost of engineering (you will notice that it's still 100% of the total cost, which means that noone has this tech yet, though I understand that a number of civs are researching it).

Holy sh*t, Beta! I've never seen one with fingers!

Arrian · June 16, 2003, 11:21

I just *knew* somebody would get around to putting Chicken and Hawk together.

Well done, MSS.

Sir Ralph, that last picture does rock. Remarkably similar to our adventures in North Stormland. Alas, it appears the Doves have regained the momentum...

That was (maybe too) personal GF... people like you and me, you know Apolytonians.... you DO know what engineering is, right?

Anyway I was just trying to humanize it a bit.

You must like war, I can tell... Sooooo belligerent, you have room for love don'tca.....

GS Loves you
Enjoy

How dare you insult me you, warmonger!

As leader of the Mildly-Annoyed-Drizzle-Hawk faction of the StormHawk Party I find your comments completely without merit!

ManicStarSeed · June 16, 2003, 12:59

I'm touched that you care so much,, *sniff sniff*

Let go of the anger my friend

Breathe, Breath in the air
Don't be afraid to care

Yep, engineering is fun if you like building things. And I do... which is why I guess I am an engineer.

Theseus · June 16, 2003, 19:12

PEACE?? BLOODY PEACE??!!

+)(#*%)(%U+)(#*^%#$@_^)($

The Vox dogs have the temerity to ask this, having defiled our chicken farms with banana peels?? And to what masters do these dogs now heel, and what of their nefarious plans and consipiracies?

And now, my own countrymen set themselves out as Storm-lovey-doves, blowing kisses and laying rose petals at the ironshod feet of the transgressors!!

Does the StormHawk Party stand alone in protest of this foul mockery of diplomacy?

Foreign diplomats and rulers: Be warned. If we do indeed stand alone, nay, even if only I, Theseus, stand alone, garbed in the shreds of Stormian honor, our sovereignty and honor shall be avenged.

Our Stormtroopers shall range across North Stormia with conscience wide as hell, mowing like grass Vox' fresh fair virgins and flow'ring infants. Why, in a moment look to see the blind and bloody with foul hand defile the locks of their shrill-shrieking daughters; their fathers taken by the silver beards, and their most reverend heads dash'd to the walls; their naked infants spitted upon pikes, whiles the mad mothers with their howls confus'd do break the clouds!!!

There will be no peace; this I swear, by all the Chickens of Heaven.

Master Zen · June 16, 2003, 21:23

Ohhhh myyyyy Gooooood, Theseus and Sir Ralph this is the funniest thing I've read since the avatar wars!!
