A New EB Tavern

[Ibrahim]

I don't claim to know your source (the elf), but he sounds like a dope

well, lets wait and see.

*stumbles in shellshocked, and mumbles something, then writes it down on a piece of paper. It reads, 'caipirinha please.'*

I just witnessed market failure in my Cabal game economy. The economy on all 3 servers is headed into hyperinflation and meltdown. o.O It's getting a bit too uncomfortably real. Lucky the inflation doesn't apply to all prices across the board, only high level equipment and upgraders. I'm still comfortably cushioned. o.O

*gulps down the caipirinha*

[Hooahguy]

wow- i think pez needs a boost and a caipirinha.
here you go pez!
*gives pez a boost and a caipirinha*

[General Appo]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! On sunday I have a football match starting 9.00 PM, so I´ll have to be there 7.45 PM. What kinda twisted evil madman could possibly decide that a match should be held at such an devilishly early time?

[russia almighty]

To TPC,


Good God, how the people bitch over at MEA about your posts,makes me wonder how the fuck they will survive university and having only five days to produce a 10 page paper.

[Ibrahim]

new tribe found!!

[russia almighty]

^ten years, they will have bartered fire arms, and will send people to those groups that inform the world about tribal groups.

Well, I'm turning 18 now, the local elections are tomorrow. Gonna vote, not really enthusiastic, I just want to say I have voted, because in 4 years I don't think I'm going to do it again, nor in 8 years, nor.... Voting doesn't matter anymore.

[General Appo]

That´s a great attidtude. If you spread your ideas enough, eventually so few people will vote that your vote will actually matter! Brilliant idea, I must say.

[pezhetairoi]

That's better than in Singapore, where votes don't matter because no one votes anyway, because most places, it's a walkover simply because no one could see the point/be bothered to contest the elections against the ruling dictat-- I mean, party.

[Ayce]

Well, we do have enough people to vote for, but regardless of who wins, the same people (98% at least) benefit from it, without much being done, but anything has to be better than the Videanu - PD-L administration.

Vote or DIE!

[Ibrahim]

turd sandwich for president 2004! that's rich. vote or die mother-#@&$&er!

any ways, that reminds me of a opinion paper i wrote for honors government, that was to comment on the democratic convention in Texas. put it this way: if it was meant to be a college style essay (rather than just an opinion), I would have flunked it, because of how admittedly rude and sarcastic I was.... teacher found it to be accurate though, so I got an A (though he later told me that I need to cut down on how biting I was)

now to find it...
EDIT: here are some excerpts:
"The new chairman took to the stand, and gave his thanks, babbling on about how he vowed not to repeat the 2000 election, and thus have a good nghts sleep. then th most senior member also spoke. load of A@#-she kept saying that we must elect official because they must elevate the democratic party-notice no mention of country. Non of them did-at least that I heard...then it was on to the main event.."

"Williams (the chairman) said that 10 resolutions were proposed for deliberation, and then began to read out the rules: title were to be read, then the resolutions voted on. He was immediately assailed by the others, who demanded that the full rules be read, all 2 pages per resolution average. the motion was nominated (why nominated I have no clue-just vote for it) and approved. Then several poeple to the left side of the room, apparently a group of Hicks, spoke out, demanding a resolution to simpify the resolution-at which a group of more democrats retorted, saying, that they needed to pass a resolution that banned poeple from voting who can't get the English used..."

"resolution 2: reforming the the nomination process, whereby the Caucus and convension would be scrapped. this caused an uproar. One man, a ruddy person standing to the right-center of the room, spoke for it. Mr Lang and an old rickety lady spoke out against it. the old lady was particularily vocal."

"resolution 4: use of the winner take all system: 1/2 the assembly asked it be dropped, saying it was like the caucus dropping, but that turned out to be incorrect (duh?). After a short, sharp debate (again ruddy guy vs. Rickety lady), it was shot down..."

in the statistics epilogue: "many were poorly, or plainly dressed, sme even looked like street urchins or bums, sporting unkept beards and hair. Many were clearly uneducated, idealistic, or just plain not republican. The meeting was disorganized, and it was hard to listen to anything they said." also: "4-Opinianation: too high... many were argumentative, over emotional, or just plain F%$&*ing stupid-looked like a congregation of southern bptist ministers orr snake handlers or something of that order. 5-Party discipline: they have discipline?"

[pezhetairoi]

Did you ACTUALLY write 'F%$&*ing' in your opinion paper? o.O

[johnhughthom]

No offence Ibrahim but I wouldn't describe that as biting.To me biting is critical and embarassing to to the subject without stooping to blatant insults. The piece reads like a teenager trying to see what he can get away with, reminds me of some of my GCSE coursework actually...

[Hooahguy]

Did you ACTUALLY write 'F%$&*ing' in your opinion paper? o.O

i think he did

[Ibrahim]

i think he did

actually, what you see is what you get...the word wasn't written on it, but one could tell what was there.

oh it might help that I wrote it at 2 in the morning, so a more accurate epithet is " a work by a teenager writing at 2 in the morening, who hated remembering this embarrasing convention"

oh and most of it (5 pages), was not all that abad. just those 4 or 5 sentances..the biting was about how when only 219 poeple could vote, they counted 266 votes in the election for the chairman. plus a few other

[V.T. Marvin]

*An tired, unshaved, and noticably drunken man appears at the bar:

Hey guys, you would not believe what happened to me... *blah*I have been locked up in the old tavern... Sitting in the wine cellar all the time... *glup* ...all the damned time drinking the bloody wine! WINE EVERYWHERE !!! Pretty crazy, I can tell ya´.... Anyway, that guy Ibrahim came and draw me out of that damned hole...

Hey,bartender - beer for everybody!

And a special one for Ibrahim:

Thank you!

*He drinks his pint in a single sip and falls down on the floor while passing away...

[Ibrahim]

I don't drink-I'm here for conversation and their 1940 coke (best year it was made)

[TruePraetorian]

*Pulls out a gladius and breaks every 1940 coke in the tavern*

Been gone for two months and I see that the prohibition period is over eh?

[The Celtic Viking]

Are weapons allowed in the tavern? Like, is it ok if I bring in my Tiger Is and Tiger IIs for personal protection? Can I have Stukas ready to take off if that dirty Praetorian ever tries to take out his "gladius" again? I mean, while I have no problem with people going around naked and all - in fact, you'll find me as the frontmost supporter of that culture - but when someone dips his awkwardly named sausage in vintage coke, I say he's stepped way out of line! I want my white stuff protected, and putting up a sign saying "please don't dip your dilly-willy here" is obviously not enough!

[General Appo]

To answer that, first let me qoute myself from the second page of this very thread:

"Guys, as was agreed upon in the old tavern there is no fighting allowed. Any overtly violent behavior will result in the immiediate removal of said person. Now, games are of course allowed, but please make sure the recipitent is also playing the game before you attempt to incapacitate him.
Oh, and if you see me lying half-dead drunk in a corner with a whisky bottle showed up my arse, don´t think it´s free killing time, Big Brother is always watching you, and Big Brothers minions (no, not in that way!) are always ready to ink poison you."

And then let me qoute myself from page 16 of this very thread:

"No Tommyguns, all weaons are banned. Unless you´re singing The Clash "Tommy Gun" of course, but even then a guitarr is prefered. For those who remember, this started after some people began killing each other with AK-47´s, Claymores and the like. After this there was a ban on all weapons not existing in EB´s timeperiod, but then some people started using Rhompaia´s and the like instead, and so all weapons were banned.
Some people have instead armed themselves with extra ink-full pens, in the hopes of causing ink poisoning in their victims. Therefore all pens apart from the special pens made at the Arcani Order´s HQ in the Aventine are banned from the Tavern, and these pens can only be bought after attaining permision from the Arcani Order´s Grand Master (yours truly).
There, a brief history of the use of weapons in the Cantina. I mean Tavern. Damn!"

I´m thinking that one day I´ll compile a great list of rules that all must obey, and the spam-post the list on every page.

All right, "General", but say if I came with this squareishly shaped, fat lady-friend with the Pinnochio-syndrome, and we come as a couple, to drink quitely, as I hear that law obiding citizens often do. All is well until some sick pervert (I'm looking at you, Ibrahim!) tries to grab her under her skirt, and finds that she's made up of an unusual amount of metal for a human being. If we would then assume that miss Katzenartig, as she's called, would be mistakenly identified as a tank clad with a skirt (as people intolerant of "big boned" people have a tendency to do), and I as a result was unfairly removed from the tavern, is there some way that I could appeal against the decision? Is there some jurisdictional process that will sort out mistakes like this, or am I screwed the second the punishment falls?

[Hooahguy]

TruePraetorian has a +.60 cent tax on everything he buys today, b/c he brought a weapon into the tavern.
that goes for everyone!

[Hooahguy]

hehe- my 100th post in this tavern!
