Jbrase:  YEAH!!!  By the way, dude, get back on WoW, we have a battle in 5 minutes.
Wormyguy:  I can't, my mom is making me do laundry.

Didn't you quit?

What do you mean?  I took a break from the forum for a few months just after New Years, but I never said I wasn't coming back.

What did you eat thread

Teddy: I had rye bread again
Lief: barf
Teddy: What, it is good.
Mechaman: You eat like a poor peasant!
Teddy: I am a poor peasant!
Kal: Did you eat your trencher again?
Teddy: Of course! The greasy trencher chunks are the best!
Polnut: Oh teddy...

Teddy: Good fellow!?  Would you like to join me with a voluntary militia to fight off the King's tyrannic forces?
Mechaman: That sounds like a bloody good idea mate!  Let's do it for the hell of it!
Teddy: Heh, really?  I didn't expect that.
Mechaman: I am always down for sticking it to authority, especially if it's some monarchistic English Protestant arsehole thousands of miles away.

Two Years Later:
After capture
Teddy: I would humbly ask that you Redcoats who have captured this militia unit please spare them and my second in command, for they were only following orders.  It was my clumsy judgement, my unfitness of mind that led them to this.  Please spare my dear friend and our troops, for they were led astray by my lazy command.
Mechaman: Damn it all to hell Theodore!  We joined together we will die together!  The cause of freedom, no matter how fought in vain it should be, is a sacrifice for all!  We led these men in defeat, together, for a cause worthy of dying for!  I shall stand with you in the blame.....and the punishment.
Teddy: Meh, how about we meet at the tavern after this and get some rum?
Mechaman: Oh you mean after we are executed?  What a great idea!

lol, at least the one I did is realistic. I have never in my life played WoW, where you on the other hand have indeed been an a**hole, and have then been told to go f**k yourself as a result.

Anwho:

opebo: You people in The Bad Place don't know what you're talking about, you're new country isn't free at all. We are much freer in Thailand. *As opebo is being drug off to be executed after being turned in for saying something disrespecful about the king.

And Dave's response was to ban him.  Therefore, my offer to resign was no longer necessary.  Mission accomplished, I say. 

Kudos for taking the time out of your busy schedule to search for that, though.  I never knew my history garnered so much interest to you.

lol, at least the one I did is realistic. I have never in my life played WoW

Dude, the skit was set in 2020.  There's still plenty of time for you to start.

where you on the other hand have indeed been an a**hole, and have then been told to go f**k yourself as a result.

Such hostility!  Truth be told, I don't think I've ever interacted with you before.  In fact, I have only ever paid as much attention to your posts as they truly deserve.  So feel free to put my name on your Enemies List if you like, but I'm afraid I don't have any lists at all to add your forgettable name to.  Sorry.

My appologies if that came off as hostile, lets remember I am not the one who told you to go f**k yourself. I was just noting that my post was based on what happend already, yours was based on your wrong assumptions made about me.

Please guys, take this bitchfest somewhere else alright?

If you are going to bash the hell out of each other try being more witty and less "haha look at the wanking noob WoW player hurr durr!"

Thread Title (started by Al) - Should Rochambeau DITH?

Al - Well?

Rochambeau - This is a stupid poll. BTW, what does DITH mean?

Dallasfan65 - "Die in the Holocaust."

Rochambeau - What the heck did I ever do to you?

Al - I am merely expressing the popular rage in a slightly strange way. You know, I've had telegrams asking why you've not been banned yet.

Teddy: Ah my friend, lets sign up to fight for king and country!
Mechaman: Uh, dude, the king is raping our country, we need to fight for freedom!
Teddy: Bah, freedom is over-rated, these lawbreakers need to be punished
Mechaman: You are insane, Theodore!

Ten years later
Teddy: I'd humbly ask that you give the defendant the maximum possible penalty
Mechaman: WHAT! You are the prosecutor! But you fought for the redcoats!
Teddy: The defendant will be silent, and shall not break the law
Mechaman: Damn it all to hell Theodore! You are an ugly backstabbing fascist.
Teddy: ORDER IN THE COURT! I am not Ugly
Judge: How about you let ME do the judge business, Theodore?

Ah yes, some of my proudest work in that thread. 

[Mechaman]

1925:

Mechaman: Alright, I've started a new timeline based on Charles O'Conor winning the Democratic Nomination in 1872.
Vazdul: I can tell this is going to be great.

1926:

Einzige: Mecha, this work is truly genius.  I hope you continue on with this timeline so we could possibly see how far Bourbon Democracy will go under President O'Conor.
Mechaman: Alright, I should have an update up for next month's newsletter.  It should be really entertaining I believe.

1927:

Kalwejt: Where's the update you lazy bastard?
Mechaman: Sorry I'm really busy and stuff and I can't concentrate on updating my timelines.

1928:

Cathcon: I'm just wondering if Mechaman ever updates his timelines.
Vazdul: Oh he's a great writer, but he's also one of the most lazy gentlemen in this newsletter association when it comes to regular TL updates.

1930:

Antonio: Excuse me Mecha but it's been like four years since you last sent an update for your O'Conor timeline.
Mechaman: Well alright.  I'll try to get one update a month if everything goes right.

1954:

Mechaman: Finally an update is up.  I hope you guys enjoy it.
Cathcon: I waited 28 years for this, I only hope you can finish this timeline soon before you die from liver cancer.
Mechaman: It's all in a day's work Cathy.

1968:

Mechaman: "And then President David Walsh formally signed a treaty of good feelings with Chamberlain, a historic occasion for both American and the United Kingdom."  Holy hell, I actually finished a timeline!  I never did that before!
Cathcon: About time.  I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this work but Kalwejt has been oddly silent.
Antonio: My god, you guys don't know?
Vazdul: What good fellow?
Antonio: Kalwejt passed away five months ago.  Liver cancer.
What-if writers: NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I decided to introduce a new infraction system. At first, the poster will have his finger cut off. Then, by a next moderation, an entire hand. After having all limbs cut off, Nym will decide whether to let him go free or decapitate.

RooseveltRevivalist (ModernDemocrat1950):   The spectrum just seems so much further right wing than it used to.  The president's a bloodthirsty warmonger and is completely out of touch with regular people.  The Democratic Party's coalition that dominated power since Roosevelt's time is collapsing: just look at those midterm victories by the GOP!  I think I'm going to support Nixon, he'll be a better bet for the left than Humphrey.

Smid: Yes, but Whitlam is ruining the country as a whole, all he needs to do to save our democracy and our country is call an election.
Polnut: What, Labor winning twice in three years doesn't count?
Smid: Not when the country and liberal parties are the natural government. Failing to pass supply is a defacto passage of a vote of no confidence. Under Westminster conventions, if the Prime Minister does not enjoy the confidence of the House, he must either step aside for Fraser, or advise the Governor-General to call an election. It is Whitlam, not Fraser, who is destroying Australian democracy.
Polnut: You note that under Westminster conventions, if the Prime Minister does not enjoy the confidence of the House, he must step aside or call an election, but you neglect to mention that the government is formed in the House, not the Senate, and that the Prime Minister actually does enjoy the confidence of the House - it's the Senate where he has been denied the numbers to pass the Appropriation Bill.
