"Gory Import of a Nuclear Wedgy"

[Krill]

Hey FP, where have you been? I hope you're holdinng up alright?

[FrustratedPoet]

I'm fine thanks. Not much time to post these days, but I've spent a little time reading threads in the Gathering Storm forum. It's glad to see that the team has been guided so skillyfully by so many committed people for such a long period of time. It's a pity in some ways that the game has ended like it has, but everyone who's worked on the team has a lot to be proud of, and I hope some good memories too.

For me the highlight was one of the early chat sessions of the game when we began the Voxian war and got a Great Leader with one of the first attacks. Good times!

Hey, good to see you FP!!!

Yeah, that was a good evening.

[vmxa1]

In the end I think most will feel the game was well played (by us) and worth doing.

Apparently I've just invented this word, courtesy of a typo. I think it's real keeper, though. There's a certain ring to "skillyfully" that "skillfully" just doesn't have.

[notyoueither]

Could proper spelling be a source of frustration?

Good to see you delurk, fp.

Yo, FP!! Good to see you, and Vel as well.

"Skillyfully"... the GS team motto, and why this has been worthwhile after all.

So, I think I'd like to smack MZ a bit and hoist him on his own petard. Anybody have a problem if I post the following, or something like it, in the GS Propaganda thread?

NGoW'd!!!

So, that clears things up a bit, for me at least.

B.I.T.C.H, which I had previously interpreted as "Would you like some grated parmesan with your game-over fettucine", really turns out to mean that NGoW'd has the wit, witticism, intelligence, and overall class of Ashton Kutcher.

Hmmm... makes sense to me. I feel better now.

Comparing someone to Ashton Kutcher in those categories is hitting below the belt...

I'd prefer it if we kept to official team statements rather than having it become individual conversations at this point. I don't think there's a problem with needling the opposition, but only if it's poking fun at us in the same breath too. Otherwise we'll end up with flaming going on I think.

An article about the show NGoW'd, and how GS was set up in it, could be fun... though I must admit to having never seen punk'd and have little idea what goes on in the show.

How' bout something a bit less inflammatory:

So, that clears things up a bit, for me at least.

B.I.T.C.H, which I had previously interpreted as "Would you like some grated parmesan with your game-over fettucine", really turns out to mean that GoW plus ND equals NGoW'd, which equals...

Ashton Kutcher.

And that's how GS got nailed.

Hmmm... makes sense to me. I feel better now.

[Aeson]

I'm open to any suggestions about what the official GS statements should be, but feel very strongly we should keep to official team statements rather than getting involved in more personal conversations.

[vmxa1]

I am not even reading the public stuff, so it is easy. But I think th eless we say the better we look.

It is very hard to look slick with any type of retort, when you are about to lose.

[Theseus]

Oh, okay.

Thought it might b fun.
