Garganuta vs Karl7 Live in Vancouver BC

  • 22 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 12

    Well, game…. unresolved, I guess…

    Gargantua took off to home at the late hour, which was appropriate.  Of course he and his ally Kyle were convinced of an axis victory despite the fact Japan had no navy.  Germany had surrounded Moscow but were in no shape to take it.  The Allies were in for the kill on the Pacific side, no question. I am sure Gargantua will tell a different tale. So I will let pictures prove the argument.

    Lol at Karl, I can’t wait till he sobers up in the Am.

    Japan made 72, and just decimated the American fleet in an epic defence.

    America has ONE transport in the pacific capable of taking a territory, and ONE in Hawaii.

    Japan owns india, and until the current America turn, all money islands.  Japanese airforce is still 9-10 units, factories in Malaya, India, Kiangsu, none in danger, and pumping out units.

    Germany made an even 100 on its turn. And relegated Russia into Moscow, the Russians only built 3 units last turn. Germany placed 9 in Russia alone.  Germany has all NOs except Egypt.  Germany also captured the British complex in Persia and the allies have 0 hope of ever getting it back.  Russia has re-retreated its main stack to Moscow, and Stalingrad is a massive heap of German mech and tanks.  Air power is in the range of 15-2o units. Oh and the German conquest of china has also begun.

    Italy pulled in 21 last turn and has no naval opposition in the med or at Gibraltar.  And in fact will probably tak gib next turn. The American flleet in the area was recently destroyed, and the Italian fleet is strong.  Egypt has its own complex and has basically doubled down in itself with the loss of persia, but the situation in Egypt is dire for the allies if they don’t get help soon.

    America does have a strong land force in Tunisia, but progress is slow. 
    Of

    The allies have no fleet anywhere near Europe, and have made no European landings ever.  There is also 0 threat on Italian or Japanese capitals or factories. With a combined Axis income of 193, and the allies 170 (31uk + 19 on hand Russia + 10 china + 20Anzac + 90ish USA) the game is a forgone conclusion despite what Karl may try to bluff you.

    For three turns Karl talked big about how he was going to roll JapaN.  Sure doesn’t seem
    Like t! And Germany has all the time in the world to finish rolling Russia.

    We do get youngsters on this site, as YG has pointed out. But even if we did not, bad language is offensive to some people. Of course, being offensive may be the point.

    Curtmungus suggests that such people should “walk away”. If such language became common place I would certainly cease to participate in this website.

    Agreed… this used to be the one place in the world I could go to get away from all that.

    I agree too. This site was always pretty clean and members will let you know if your out of line.

    Guys, aren’t we going a bit far here?

    I mean we are talking about ONE F bomb that got dropped, from a user that posts highly entertaining content and who is clearly just here to have a good time with everyone and a laugh.

    All this sensitivity is making me uncomfortable.

    ha ha…. I knew Garg would post something like this… of course he forgot to mention that US was at 100, not 90 etc…

    The game is still set up, so if we need to continue it to see who is right there is the opportunity…  :evil:

    Also, looks like the game was already WON since Kreig checked with Larry and got a ruling that the UK dd in the Japanese fleet was legit…  Can’t believe Garg didn’t know that one… HA haa

    oh well, it was fun anyway!  :mrgreen:

    Hi Garg

    Curtmungus is welcome to have a good time here. That is all I am trying to do too.

    When I first asked politely that the word be deleted I did not make a big thing of it. It is so very easy to replace some letters with asterisks and such, while leaving the meaning clear. I am not sure why the request merited so little consideration.

    One small amendment by Curtmungus and we can all get back to having a laugh.

    Cheers

    AH, let Curt Mingas gnaw at his leather strap… he’s a wild man. I don’t think we can “correct” him.

    We should all be adhering to the guidelines, and it’s not a political correctness thing like I feel some will make it out to be, it’s a slippery slope issue where allowing one thing opens the door to other things. Today it’s F Bombs… tomorrow it’s… and yes, there are kids on this site, trust me.

    Karl - I formally request that you transition the map to TripleA.  Top of the UK Turn.

    I won’t have an evening to conclude things this week; but I am happy to decimate you if that’s your desire.

  • Liaison TripleA 11 10

    In the meantime,

    Let’s continue the discussion regarding Curtmungus and his crimes against humanity!

    I wonder how Curt would handle a formal trial?  I bet he would smash his way through the bench and throw the judge back into his own chamber; then declare his own Humungophate of leather and pain.  All crimes would be capital, and punished corporally.

    Blood would flow, muscle would grow, and nerds would OWE!

    Iron would seep from his veins, and his tears would burn the surface of the earth as he ever expanded his empire across the globe.

    Maybe if we just give Curtmungus TripleA, Give him axisandallies.org, the whole website! He’ll spare our lives!?

    Or maybe just a cookie and a timeout.

    I vote making him a moderator… at least he’s active, and I’ll be able to throw out as many F, N, C, AND J Bombs as I like. If the site is a wasteland without leadership anyway, lets just have anyone type whatever they want. AWESOME!!!


  • You know, even when I was a kid, I was bigger and stronger than most people around me.  They said I was a “bully” for pushing people around, and that made me sad. But I realize now that I was really just keeping people in line, getting them to act right and stop being dumb-wads.  If I hadn’t been there going-up-side the head on them, they’d just be fighting each other, picking on the defenseless, the fatherless and the poor. But for me, there would have been more violence, more pain, more horror.

    I try to live my life like that, using my power to protect others.  I guess i came here expecting a site full of hard-chomping war-Nerds throwing haymakers and sparing no one, that A&A.org was an all-against-all wasteland of a sort in need of some muscle to whip them into shape…… i guess I was wrong…

    Instead of my bench press and cooler full of Natty Ice, I guess I should’ve brought my cotton candy machine and popsicle cart complete with cow bell…

    Never in my life would I have thought that 1 F-bomb would bring a website supposedly dedicated to a war that killed millions to a screeching halt…

    When I made that post, did someone literally die?  Where do I send the flowers?


  • I forgot that it’s ok to drop F bombs at church, school, court, and anywhere else you prefer.

    I’m so sorry for my earlier post.

    Natty Ice?  Holy smokes!  You are strong if you can stomach that rotgut.

    The idea of beer right now makes my head spin after last night…  Kurt Mangis, I could’ve used you power last night.  Used your strength to crush those dice in your bare hands and throw the dust of victory in Gargantua’s eyes to confuse him…

    Otherwise, not sure if I am going to have time to get the game over to triple a. My wife may have my head if she finds out I am sinking more time into the game.

    Ya, I also apologize… didn’t mean to derail the topic, good game guys.

  • 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16

    Well I do not apologise for politely requesting a tiny amendment to replace the F word. It seems such a small request involving so little effort and absolutely no pain to make the change.

    But given the unwillingness to display even the slightest consideration I will do exactly as suggested and go elsewhere.
