Dude, don't even joke about that.

Indeed! But, in all fairness, CB has to joke about his opponents dying. The Fates have not been good to him in that regard, and it's a way to pad his victory count like he pads his post count.

USS Mike is correct on all counts. I've had three opponents shuffle off this mortal coil in PBEM games. I've had to start putting a clause in my games since then that I consider a mortal/corporeal 'withdrawal' to be tantamount to quitting the game. As us old folks start games that take 5 bleedin' years to play out, expect some to not be able to make it the distance.

Is there a correlation between playing you and 'shuffling off this mortal coil'? If so, could you start a game with a certain person?

Chickenboy, ever the optimist when selecting an opponent. Maybe he intentionally selects the old timers, and the sick.

For the right price, perhaps.

You guys are too much. Beat me to all my CB comments. One I still have is that I've begun to consider him the 'kiss of death' and have no desire to play against him.

Seems when he plays for keeps, he means it.

Oh yeah, and its good to hear that your esteemed opponent is alive and well.

I breathe a sigh of relief.

C'mon man. You should try it. Maybe you can cheat death-play a game and live to tell the tale*.

*Maybe, but probably not.

Did I survive our match only due to the aid, assistance, and protection of my partner, Steve?

This just in: The Grim Reaper has challenged CB to a game of WitP:AE. House rules to be determined by Beelzebub.
The Vegas bookies are backing CB.

My money is on CB. I think old Grim will be eventually done in by bleeding to death from the ears.

PDU on, but dead pilots come back 4 weeks later as zombies.

They lose half of all experience but gain a new skill, Zombie Attack (ZS), that causes random attacks on non-zombie friendly forces.

Zombie Kamikaze (ZK) is a separate skill that cannot be used until The Night of the Living Dead is seen by the pilot.

Zombie AntiAir (ZA) is where the zombie hurls body parts at approaching planes until ammo is exhausted.
Zombie pilots can only be killed by incendiary weapons or George Romero.
