    SPIN II: AKA: Beta, this is going too far!

    Man you guys are being boring. Time for someone to liven up this forum.



    Team Monkey Terrorism:

    http://www.duluthsuperior.com/mld/du...or/8586949.htm

    "It has a consistency of sludge and is dark brown to black in color"




    *snicker* sorry, couldn't resist...:

    http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/FE05Ad02.html

    "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey,"

    ( )



    Things going downhill in CoD:

    http://www.canada.com/saskatoon/star...2-13972737a0b5

    "To prevent them from running for city council, of course. Incumbent city councillors don't want to run against monkeys for fear the monkeys would win. It would only take six on council to form a monkey majority. This would threaten the status quo. And also the wallpaper in city council chambers.

    Couldn't happen, you say? Monkeys aren't intelligent enough to win municipal elections, you say?

    Maybe not. But they'd have my vote."



    Monkey POW's escape:

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,...1a4560,00.html

    "account for around 600 monkeys thought to be missing from a consignment imported from Africa."



    Team Monkey testing drugs on warriors:

    http://www.news-medical.net/view_article.asp?id=1073

    "long-term consumption of a diet rich in soy isoflavones can have marked influences on patterns of aggression and social behavior."

    I think all teams should declare war on Tabemono, that would make things more interesting. I mean who do they think they are building the pyramids as if they haven't got enough food already??

    And whats with staying in despo for sooooo long?
    Are we having fun yet?

    Team Monkey is waiting for contact with all teams before we start publishing our propaganda in the main forum.

    We requested permission to do it now, but got knocked back by a couple of teams.

    Actually, unless it was Python that still doesn't want you to do it, you're clear.

    I PM'd Beta a while ago (weeks) saying that CoD was fine with S.P.A.M. going forward, since the world map (and the ruins clearly evident on it) had made the rounds.

    The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

    I'm looking forward to it, UnO.

    Just to clarify, when I said "the world map has made the rounds" I meant the in-game maps trades, not the map you're working on to post here in the public forum.

    Perhaps the CoD puppet master will have better chance in getting us an OK from Python ?

    Or can we take DaveMcW's above response as official ?

    The following is the official response of the Republic of the Castle of Loimbard:

    Meh. We don't care.

    This has been the official response of the Republic of the Castle of Loimbard. Should any other matters come to our attention, from worker movement to attack orders, that is to be considered our official response.

    I'm looking forward to a bit of humor, truth be told.

    It was my understanding that the world map had been traded around in-game. If that's correct, I don't see why you can't post a map.

    I notice CoD's "army" isn't marked. Do you not fear our military might?! Fools!

    edit: wow that's an old map.

    This is not our Army. This is just a bunch of Herringman, Horsecarriers, Schrubberrythrowers and men with pointed sticks.
    Our Army consisting of only Elite and Veteran Woodcuters is still in our Homeland.
    Hey, if you knew what roughnecks those military guys are you wouldn't want to see them at home!
    Better they batter some Monkeywalls....

    Quite true.
    There are a lot of similarities between the two games.

    Unfortunately for Python, Team Monkey is better prepared than Roleplay.

    Monty Python Ministry of Public Annoucements Official News Release

    The Ministry of Public Annoucements, for fear of losing funding to the Ministry of Silly Walks, presents the following annoucement about famed composer Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern-schplenden-schlitter-crasscrenbon-fried-digger-dingle-dangle- dongle-dungle-burstein-von-knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz- ticolensic-grander-knotty-spelltinkle-grandlich-grumblemeyer- spelterwasser-kurstlich-himbleeisen-bahnwagen-gutenabend-bitte-ein- nurnburger-bratwustle- gernspurten-mitz-weimache-luber-hundsfut-gumberaber- shonedanker-kalbsfleisch-mittler-aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm.

    The Muhammad Al-Sahaf Team notes that while foreign powers may be hoping to invest in the works of a rumored musician known as "Bach", we have been investing in the superior music of a man known as "PDQ Bach". Soon, his music will be required listening throughout the known world.

    Um - and I assume that is the 'weak' Monkey army which killed 13 Python units the turn before (9 swords and 4 spears).
