Well as I am not playing due to a conspiracy to remove the sponge from the lives of Victory players I thought I would tap Russ for the next game. Now thinking it would be a while before a new game starts I resigned myself to the fact there would be no Victory for about 4-6 months. Well peeps it seems V83, a normal game, will be upon us sooner rather than later, maybe as soon as this month so I have put my request in and Denmark shall be mine again.

Sign up losers, face the sponge if you dare. Murrrrraaaaghhhhhh!!!! Murrrrraaaghhhhhhh!!!! excited.gif excited.gif thumbup.gif

Is this it? sad.gif Not much of a turn out for Sponge stomping or is everyone too enthralled by the Sponge free V82.

See I knew it, everyone secretly fears the sponge. Only Portugal Paul and the unprouncable Irish leader have the guts to face me. Come on who else declares or is this game a game of Cowards.

Where are my old foes, Dark Monkey, Redarse, ScEaXtY. Even those long lost foes of years gone by like Desert Camel and Prediote are not here.

I know, its a game of NOOBS - Canon fodder for the Sponge Tank Brigade.

I wonder if my loyalist of Disciples is here - St M - Are you playing?

Well I am in command of "Spongistan" part of Bikini Bottom. What I mean to say is its a secret. Due to the misconception that I never survive past Turn 10 it is this governments policy to not tell anyone until T12ish. So keep guessing, throughout my posts I always give a clue.

And your nation is...... errm let me guess - Bolivia

But...... until turn 12 you out of money Bob. biggrin.gif How do you solve this problem? blink.gif

I am sorry Bob I'm not playing in this game. sad.gif My positions in general run a littlebit longer than yours. tongue.gif Four "Sponge free" Vics are wonderful and enough for me. In this game another player has to clean up Spongistan, maybe Predator alias Ghazi can help you. But you hae to expain him the right way. He sometimes get lost on his way to his enemies. biggrin.gif

Spongbob may have offended you at sometime or even booted you off a game more like it.
But what have I done.
Trans-Jordan and you make a weak team so if you want Portugal, Go for it.
You have no worries from me Trans-Jordan is a no-go zone for the Portuguese people we want Spain France Germany and the rest.

I second that emotion...... however I feel I must correct one inacuracy.

sad.gif Having looked over the historical records of Spongebobs conquests since my re-introduction to Victory some 10 games ago it would appear that not only have i found it difficult to remain in a game longer than 10 turns but also that I have never ever kicked anyone out of the game.

Let me recall history

#14 Denmark - European Game, some success and from what I can rember had a large chunk of Germany
#21 Ireland - European Game, company folded I think
#73 Norway - Forgot how to even enter orders and thus a swift defeat at the hands of Sweden
#74 Tunisia - Ganged upon by the bullys on my borders so lasted a short time
#75 Denmark - my beloved Denmark. Lasted until T19, lasted longer than Monk playing Sweden but no money to continue the fight. Two failed landings on a drop out was the final nail... Now whats next.
#76 USA - Was being beaten by Canada but he then dropped however the damage was already done, could not get into the fight so lasted until T20+ish
#77 DID NOT PLAY, too busy trying to make the last game work.
#78 Denmark - defeated by Monks lies and HPWs German tanks around turn 8
#79 Iceland - run out of money but stuck around till T19, actually had some success but Iceland is like the USA, impossible to run a sea fairing nation in my books, this games hard enough without ships.
#80 Trans Jordan - Betrayed by the monk and his un-holy alliance. No Fun At All.
#81 NOT PLAYING, lost the will to live and play Victory after the last game.
#82 NOT PLAYING, Someone stole Denmark my only choice.
#83 I'm Back with avengence.

Ok the record does not look good but who cares, its a game and its fun and lets face it without the likes of Spongebob and Portugal Paul your lives would be soooooo much duller. biggrin.gif

Hi Spongy
You are so right.
They take everything to heart!
It's not our fault they have no sense of humour.
Why would you stay in the game at all when you get trans-Jordon and you are a bit soft?
Petulant Paul of Portugal
the_dark_monk
Dear Spongy!

let me have a look:

We met each other the first time in 75. You told me I have to to offer you an alliance. This diplomatic strategy is well know as "ally or die" since this time. The effect of your dipomatic strategy is also well known. You lost xOdense and xCopenhagen at turn 5 to some visitors from Sweden. You only survived because Norway all my other TAs quit (I think this generates a little antipathy against rookies in my brain) and I do not like to wait until northern Russia starts to consume me.

Victory 78: I was unlucky: Germany was your neighbor and my friend, due to that I was not able to take my revenge directly. You are right, I planed your destruction and HP got you for breakfast with some little help from Sandy. I think it was turn 5 when you lost this war right?


Victory 80: I decided to invent my good side after your 78 disaster and include you into a five person alliance (a major error I will not do again). You are the only person I know who is able to destroy his army with in turn 4 all by himself. You ruined the game and you never followed any plan or agreement. You are crazy, you are a high risk for your TAs and the only possible diplomatic status between you and me in the future is war.

Please quit this game, never play it again, go and join Richard in his Super Nova game. I am sure he will be happy to consume you.

Michael alias the Monk

Spongy....

When I see what Michael writes .....he most definitely does not reward stupidity or ineptness . Neither do I . Please do not start Supernova...it will be way too complicated for you anyway . Why do you torture yourself in playing Victory! ? Don't you realize it is a lost cause....while I think your bombastic ramblings in the forums are a " interesting " source of amusement , the right strategy would be for you to be able to back up your words.....something which obviously is not happening . There are some nice computer games out there in which you can turn the difficulty level down......Pacman , maybe....or Space Invaders....

The Monk checks in! No mercy Spongy! angry.gif

I just realized there is no Sponge in Denmark where are you?
Spongebob
I thought you said you woz not playing, could not resist facing your Nemesis eh?

Anyway I just want to say I love your revisionist history on V80 - The plan as discussed was Monk and Sponge TA then you asked if i minded a few other joining the party, it seem I was the after thought not the others. I built up and invaded when told to as a loyal ally it just took a while to break the NAP and yes I got wiped out in one fell swoop due to a lack of intel from my so called allies. And forgive me when I say this but when so called allies start to use that other well know strategy - Do As We Tell You or Get Dumped I was left with a bitter taste in my mouth and without the will to continue in a game when I was treated with such contempt.

So in the words of my Great Great Grandfather - Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Now on with the war - I truely hope you are here in this game, I know you wont tell me who you play as I wont tell you but if it ever gets out then I am coming after you and no-one else. And if your so sure of yourself then you will not fear me and tell me your nation. Unless your Chicken Monk tongue.gif

Hehe , Michael....oh hell no , not even about to start playing Victory!....although it probably would be fun to hunt Sponges as a diversion , I think there are plenty in this game who will ensure plenty of housewives will be amply supplied with kitchen sponges to ensure that their kitchen counters and sinks will shine and sparkle from being wiped with the bodies of this spongy character...ya'll have fun and hunt this sponge down like the sponge he is....happy hunting

Ok...upon careful consideration.....and The Dark Monk's persuasive arguments , we have filled all the stand-by positions , and will make this game a massive sponge-hunt....we also are taking bets as to on which turn his spongyness will bite the big one.....I am thinking the middle of the first decade....happy hunting to all my friends , and will be looking forward to be in consultations to coordinate our moves...

Now where was I... Oh yes.... Shirley you can trawl through my old post and make a few comments about my death before turn 10, or the fact my mother ran off with THAT fish, or that Monk is a wierd sexual deviant and what he does is un-natural and a crime against god.

Come on Monk Puppet Im sure your master wont mind you having a thought of your own, throw me a bone here, give me something to work with.

I know your the love child of Scarecrow and Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz but a coupling of those two must have produced a brain cell if not a heart. sad.gif

I guess if you cant come up with anything useless to say then I will have to resort to the one thing I said I would never do and thats place you on ignore.

A poor child I may be but Im RICH in ideas, in life, in substance, in form.

May I quote from Hamlet (ok its Star Trek really)

"What a piece of work is Sponge? How noble in reason? How infinite in faculty, in form, in moving, how express and admirable. In action, how like an angel; in apprehension, how like a god..."

Thank You and Goodnight! excited.gif excited.gif thumbup.gif
