PTWDG II - Team "Cake or Death?"

[Arrian]

@ Theseus.

Also, you guys dont seem to have an ingame policy. Being an all out sarcastic joking making team is great and all, but what are you gonna do differently in game? Other teams have policies that affect game play.. are you guys gonna abandon a city for the hell of it? Declare war on your neighbors just to psych them out?

Well, we're definitely going to use Izzardisms for city names, in-team titles, units, military operations, etc.

We might be colonianist bastards if the opportunity arises. "Just sail 'round the world and stick a flag in!"

We're mostly in it to amuse ourselves, I think. Playing as the English, I doubt we're in it to "win."

Note: The Monty Python team might want to play as the English. We'll have to wait and see what they want. I'm sure something could be worked out - we could certainly be the Romans instead if we wanted.

The Pythons may want to be Romans, and play the Life of Brian role to death.

How about..
All our citizens must be happy at all times? (maybe more something for the Sunshine team though)

[Arrian]

Definitely more of a sunshine team thing, I think.

Our people may have to have a bit of an inferiority thing going...

"Tell me your dreams, kid"
"I want to be a space astronaut, go to outer space and discover things that have never been discovered!"
"Look, you're British, so scale it down a bit"
"Alright then, I want to work in a shoe shop, and discover shoes that have never been discovered, right at the back of the shop on the left."
"Look, you're British, so scale it down a bit"
"Alright, I wanna work in a sewer, then, and pile sewage on my head, and come to the surface and sell myself to an art galley"
"What the **** have you been smoking, 'eh?"

"I advise you to get a career, what can I say?"

[ThePlagueRat]

Nice thread indeed.
How do I become member of the 'cake or death?'

How do I become member of the 'cake or death?'

Just asking is usually good enough.

Of course, if you can provide an Izzard quote that makes me laugh that might smooth the wheels of the administrative system.

You get extra credit if it isn't from Dress to Kill, since that show is dominating our quote-a-thon so far.

If you ever come to the UK on holiday or business, Arrian, you're more than welcome to come round to my house and we can stay up all night watching the shows you've never seen, drinking beer and laughing our asses off!

Have you got the 'circle' video yet FP?

[FrustratedPoet]

Not yet. Everything I've heard about it makes it sounds really quite bad - apparently he spends a bit too much time lecturing about history and European integration (with less-than-accurate facts, it seems) and not enough time actually saying funny stuff. I'm hesitant to have my opinion of Eddie tarnished by watching an inferior performance.

I might have to get it eventually, though, there must be some good quotable stuff on there at least.

[FrustratedPoet]

Having said that, though, the first time I saw Dress to Kill I was very disappointed because I felt it wasn't as good as Definite Article or Glorious. It certainly improved greatly with subsequent viewings and is now my joint-second favourite.

I keep meaning to get "Live at the Ambassadors" too, which is his earliest recorded show I believe. I heard a few brief audio clips of it and they were excellent.

[alva]

That is a good show
i've seen the first 2 minutes of 'circle', and they are scary. Eddie and nylons

If anyone wants an Eddie avatar then here are some to choose from:
