Now that I think of it, I remember seeing the day thursday somewhere...
There was no intention to pressure anybody on my part
btw, where's E_N, I kinda miss him

And from what nye said to begin with, if we do get in, what was said about us probably won't be all that interesting anyway.Originally posted by dejon
nye said it would be Thursday before anything was decided, and I believe that's "at the earliest".
I'm curious to know what they're saying about us. I guess we'll be able to see if we get in, and won't if we don't.

Is this like in Fight Club where an applicant must stand outside the door for 3 days without encouragement before he is authorized?
Honestly, it's freezing out here. Two days to go.

Er, no, not Fight Club - Dr Strangelove. I've no plans to see Fight Club.
While I agree with you (Dr Strangeglove is in my top 5) I think Paths of Glory is Kubrick's best.Originally posted by Cort Haus

Just to let you know.
From the Team List I read NYE is your leader, so why don't you poke him a little so he gets movin and clicks 'approve' some 14 times, eh?

Because he's conducting a lengthy process which involves asking people if they want certain members in his team.

I don't think poking NYE would make the process go any faster, since basically it involves (as we've been told) all current members. They just have to make sure that none of the existing members have a legitimate problem with the applicant.
Now that I think of it, we'll just have to do some massive poking (14 at least)

The polls have been posted by nye already 4 days ago and the result can be expected soon.
Glad to see you, Sir Ralph.

Darn, how good is when you know all people who are in the team(or rather - have applied)!

I do love Paths of Glory. I don't know if I could pick a favorite though. All his films are unforgettable.Originally posted by NicodaMax

It's nice to be able to discuss cinema while the pre-screening process and background checks proceed.
Maybe I should sanitize my avatar. A cigar smoking madman is hardly a role model. On the other hand, a madman trying to quit smoking is something to aspire to.

Please be patient, everyone. These polls started the moment our forum was created, but after nearly a year it's difficult to find all our old members and get them approved first, so they can poll. This is a bit too important to rush...

Not really called for, I think. We improved on that...

And I thought we were gonna let this **** lie. UnO, that's well in the past, back to the early part of the PTWDG. You *know* we changed later in that game. So why the potshot? Bored? Go write a story. You can probably even fit some more potshots into it.Originally posted by UnOrthOdOx
And to all you waiting to be allowed access, keep in mind how this feels for when you are in the team and Team X is waiting for you guys to poll on whether or not you should approve that tech trade.

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.
*Ahem* ... Please keep the personal trash talking out of this game. You want to say the Mercs will beat GS, go right ahead, but the direct personal or team-personal insults need to go. Now.

I apologize.
It was honestly not my intent to 'take a potshot'. I do understand how it could come across as that, however, to those who are sensitive to the subject.

I really don't think that UnO's comment was all that trashey. Then again I don't know the Hx of that game.
I do have to say that Snoopy369 is right. If we start bickering before even one turn is played it will be EoD all over again. I threw a lot of trash talk around in Eod and it turned from competitive jovial banter to ugly personal attacks very quickly. The game became poisoned and not fun. I want nothing to do with that in this game.
BTW Team Banana is about fun. Drive by fruitings, and fun.

UnO,
I generally defended you w/regard to your writing. I was *not* one of those who found fault with anything you wrote.
But I honestly don't see any other way to interpret your post above. And I'm surprised you can't see how it would be irritating. You have beaten this particular horse into glue, ok? WE GET IT.

no offense taken, UnO... all it shows is that sometimes innocent comments can be taken the wrong way. Believe me, our skins are tougher than this

Eh, just gotta beat me over the head on occasion.
We don't always realize what we say can be interpretted as on occasion. This is but human nature. I could call the 'go write a story' a little pot shotty as well if I really wanted to for instance. Really find it quite witty.
