Balderdash PBEM

Arnelos · August 22, 2003, 04:38

Since the thread where things about this PBEM is posted doesn't have all of the information about the game and is intermixed with other junk, I figured giving it its own organizational thread was a good idea.

As for the organization and rules I know of thusfar...

I need an e-mail address for Beta and I need to know where to (or whom to) submit my votes for which map to play.

Thank You

Can't help you on Beta, Im not near my address book.

GhengisFarb™ · August 25, 2003, 09:31

Sheesh, How many pre Game threads are we gonna have, this makes three already.

I don't think Beta has an email anymore. Ever since Vox departed for Lego he hasn't posted very much, if at all.

UnOrthOdOx · August 25, 2003, 16:36

Well if the idiot who started the game would have taken time to let everyone know he started a thread in the PBEM forum, perhaps poor Arnelos here would not have felt the need to start yet another one.

Yet one more pathetic attempt by the Guals to sew confusion amongst the other nations.

GhengisFarb™ · August 25, 2003, 17:38

Not only did I post that the thread was started. I also posted a link in the post. I then pm'd all the players about the thread AND pm'd the players a link to the thread.

Short of walking to your house, turning on your computer, and showing you how to move your computer illiterate mouse how to click a link I think I did all I could to get you on the right track.

I see our people's are going to be mortal enemies in this game................

Instead of a TruthOmeter it became a Reader'sDigestCondensedVersionOmeter.

I suspect operator error. UnOrthO has never shown much technical ability...............

Your pathetic attempts to forge the TruthOmeter are getting more and more pathetic...............

badams52 · August 26, 2003, 00:10

nm, after reading your posts again, I think GF understood the hidden message.

I should have known better than to trust in such a thing as 'Science'. A mistake that will become painfully clear to the Gauls when I allow Taku Shanskan to guide my hand and rid the earth of such an unholy presence.

As I said, this is all just another pathetic attempt from the worthless mind of GhengisFarb to sew dissention amongst the rank and file of the other nations in this game. Little does he realize that with each passing lie, he hammers another nail into his own coffin.

BTW, did you pass them on, and how do you rank the saves?

ZargonX · August 26, 2003, 15:36

I believe Beta has them right now, and as far as I know, he is in absentia.

I actually sent two to you, I figured since you were on the Roleplay team you wouldn't be that quick on the uptake and probably needed two pms.

GodKing · August 26, 2003, 17:15

Do not badmouth RP you heretic. Infidel. Worthless wife of a sow. We, the arabs, fully support the members of RP in their crushing defeat of the self cursed GoW and their lackies ND.

I did get the PM's just couldn't do much with them as poly was down so much.

UnOrthOdOx · August 26, 2003, 23:25

Oh so GF did bother to send out a FEW PM's. Guess that lets me know exactly how high GF has me on his list if he intended to ignore me...

Was there some confusion as to that? I sent you the SAVE, was that too complicated for you to decipher?

Beta · August 28, 2003, 22:44

I'm baaaaack!

Sorry for the absence guys. It was forced. Uploading pictures (no GF, not those type), I was going to use in a pictoral essay, of sorts. But I guess they are really cracking down on this kind of thing, and I got caught.

So- sorry again about the delay. I needed to get into Poly to get Darekill's e-mail. The saves are now with him.

My votes are:

First choice - game # 1
Second - game #4
Third - game #2
Fourth - game #3

Beta · August 28, 2003, 22:45

And I do have a question - does this mean I do not get the Greek UU?

Probably not bozo, as you do not even have the Greeks.

Wow... he's trash-talking HIMSELF already!

Darekill · August 29, 2003, 01:52

Hallo ihr Säcke!
So einen riesigen Misthaufen an Spielständen habe ich ja noch nie gesehen!
Einfach nur Schrott!
Na ja meine Wahl wäre in der Reihenfolge:
Spiel 1
Spiel 4
Spiel 3
Spiel 2

Ach ja noch ein wort zur Organisation. Das ist das letzte ich habe ja nichtmal die E-mail von GodKing oder wie der Depp heißt.
Dieser lausige Atlanter Beta hat mir den Müll wenigstens zumailen können weil ich so weise war ihm meine Adresse zuzuschicken.

Translation: (Try to do it for yourself and you find out it is actually a little bit more friendly than the original

)

Hi Friends.
I have never seen such a nice collection of saves.
Just fantastic.
My choice would be in that order:
game #1
game #4
game #3
game #2

Oh and one word concerning the organisation. It's top just that I miss the e-mail adress of GodKing or like this wise man is called to whom I have to send the saves.

the honorable atlantean Beta was able to send me the saves because i droped him a PM...

Like I said try to translate it for yourself and you'll see that I sound a little bit more like Balderdash in the original

vondrack · August 29, 2003, 03:11

That's hilarious, Darekill!

Actually - I think this would help with some of the current isses here in the ptwdg. You can only trash talk yourself.

Yes - a bit schizophrenic maybe, but then according to that Crystal Clear article in SPIN awhile back, I'm not all 'there' anyway.

(Glad to see she was 'interviewing' someone else this time. Uno, is this your doing by the way.)

UnOrthOdOx · August 29, 2003, 14:06

I don't post anonymously. Never have, never will.

I have a decent lead as to the source, but it was not me.

GodKing · August 29, 2003, 14:36

DK pm'ed me for my email I pm'ed it to him. So I expect to get the save shortly. I will need zargonX's email shortly...... guess I better send him a pm.

Darekill · August 29, 2003, 15:34

good idea God king!
You already got mail
