comsolut -> Twas the night before (11/6/2013 9:58:32 PM)

Twas the night before computer World in Flames
When all through the land
Not a counter was stirring,
Not even a chit;
The computers were humming
By their internet connections,
In hopes Matrix would soon be there.
The wargamers were all snug in their beds,
While visions of world conquest danced in their heads;
And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long fall nap,
When out of the computer their arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the computer I flew like a flash,
Refreshed the screen and hit enter with a bash,
The monitor, on the table gave an eerie glow
To all the objects in the room,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a ……….(be creative and post your idea to complete this poem)

wife, who sees the price and kicks your rear.




Missouri_Rebel -> RE: Twas the night before (11/6/2013 11:28:53 PM)

She grumbles and moans
with rolling pin in hand
I say 'I married the wrong one
your sister would understand'

warspite1 -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 2:03:13 AM)

So you think you married the wrong sister?
Well let me tell you this, mister
I've always been a secret lover of wargames,
And they don't come any better than World In Flames.
You want to play? Well I'm just the same,
So don't just sit there, download the game.
But I promise you one thing, you're in for a helluva fight
Cos no one messes with Mrs Warspite.

I'm slim shady, yes I'm the real shady
All you other slim shadys are just imitating
So won't The Real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up? [:D]




Missouri_Rebel -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 2:38:02 AM)

If you ever do that again I will have you summarily executed on spot.

Have a nice day.[:)]

What? Just so I know, what are you to execute me for? Appalling poems or quoting Eminem?




Missouri_Rebel -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 2:41:05 AM)

Put this blindfold on and I'll tell you. That's a good lad.

Okay but can you leave a gap between ready-aim and fire? About 50 years should do the trick.




Missouri_Rebel -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 2:44:41 AM)

The latter of course. The poem shall be etched in stone though.

Wait for it


wait for it



For your tombstone! [/dramatic music]

Those Englishmen and their cunning ways. Had me agree to it because I couldn't understand him.

So you won't appreciate an Eminem track in my 20 Desert Island choices? [:D]




Missouri_Rebel -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 3:11:21 AM)

Its alright for you - you live in the US. Here in little old Englandsville I've got to go to work in a minute and concentrate on that stuff, knowing that people will be downloading the game before me [:@].




Missouri_Rebel -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 3:40:03 AM)

I awoke early to find SamuraiProgrammer eating the cookies and drinking the milk I set out. Paradise lost.




Titan -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 6:32:53 AM)

In NZ we are the first nation in the world to see each new day, ive seen the 7th come and about to go....its 8:30pm and no sign as yet?




willbowe -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 6:41:54 AM)

Titan, one of the mods said on another thread that noon Eastern US time is realistic if there aren't any hitches. So I'd say you'll be waiting till morning.




juntoalmar -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 6:50:05 AM)

Well, at least they have updated the product page with the release day!






Easo79 -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 8:30:12 AM)

Haha...I see a lot of people around getting nervous!

Today is the day!

You could have watched the 'A' teams at cricket. Oh forgot, it rained. Just as well, the openers would still have been in anyway[;)]




herulf -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 8:36:49 AM)

We're quite close...

Bad news is that the designer lives in Honolulu...you seem to be at the wrong side of the international date line [:'(]

(Well, as a matter of fact I doubt they use the Hawaiian time zone for the release)

Yes!!

Are you planning a 1229 reenactment?[:)]




herulf -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 8:50:13 AM)

No conquest of Mallorca this time [sm=innocent0009.gif]




juntoalmar -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 8:52:37 AM)

Yes we are very close, indeed!

Do you know if there is any WiF Yahoo!/Google group around ir our language? (spanish or catalan works for me).

It could be useful to get more people in Spain to play it, and thus more players available for online gaming in our time zone.


PD: By the way, I'm playing at the moment a 3R play and Hitler has just conquered Spain...






Joseignacio -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 9:41:24 AM)

In Spain there are quite a lot for the size of the country. Don-t think there will be problems to match games. But of course, all of us who speak english, which is 95 per cent of wiffers, have a lot more of avaliable players in our timezone.




Guillerdemon -> RE: Twas the night before (11/7/2013 5:27:00 PM)

Hi

Iam in spain too
If you want can play a match, Volunters for the spanish group?
