[Doug Dino]

DOug: can you post when DP's ship is hit, so we can all gang up on him?

yup, will do!!!

 

[Doug Dino]

Hope there is still room to say 'I'm in!'.

Yup, you're officially a three segment caterpillar nowz...

so with teach and vapian out, knowing they would effortlessly destroy you other caterpillars...
so that leaves... errr, some number...

 

[Doug Dino]

Thank you Mr DD I would love to play. Not sure how I will work in the timezone but I will give it a go.

won't matter, you'll have 'round 24 hours to pick a letter between A and P, followed by a number 1 to 16... piece a cake...

i'll see what we got for players tomorrow and we'll get this going, if we don't end up with 24 i'll shrink the board size a bit....

Oh my God, they killed Kenny!

"..."

If ya don't know it, Google it - and "get it".

 

[Strings]

No... we kilt DP

Hmmm... maybe Kat would like it if we "kilted" you, DP...

 

[Katdarling]

for those who may not know, this description is extremely accurate... The trouble with a REAL type trivia game is that it just becomes who can google the answer quickest.. I still can't believe that one guy got theTim Hortons question first post, that was nutz...

Poker would work, but that would be even more of a pm'ing back and forth behind the scenes type thing than our last black jack game.. so not so fun to spectate...

I want a game that I set up, but it's entirely up to your actions who wins...

SooOoo now, i'm thinking a massive game of Battle Ship.

Here are the ruleZ: so far...

I make a giant Battle Ship grid on the white board in my (for lack of a better name) office.. a 16 x 16 grid. A1 to P16

This will have to be a fixed number of players game so we'll have to do a head count first, but a 24 player cap...

I will lay out the grid with ships, each taking up three adjacent spaces either horizontally or vertically (no diagonal ships)..

I will PM each player their ships location.

Once a day (not sure on the time yet) i will say "FIRE". Each player will pick ONE spot on the grid to attack. So for example "E12"...

Before I say fire again, i will say what locations were hits, and what were misses...

I'm not sure if I will say WHO'S ship was hit or not... Still thinking on that...

I can't see any loopholes or what not, so let's call this thing a go....

Let the registration begin,

The first 24 people to post

"I want to Play"

are in the game.

SHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!

I will go on a Cruise with you.


Thanks for signing me up, Cap'n. I had not a klue about KattleShips or BattlePillarz, but thankfully and good naturedly, (ahem) DPL 'splained the game and the rules to me.
I shall bend those rules no doubt, but he'll bend 'em back for me,,, so no worries.

so that's 15, lookin for another 9...
or...if your on that list and no wantz to play, let me know...

Might I just say this can NOT take place without the Snake O' Blue or the D underscore J. I shall call them on the loudspeaker.

I'v done some home science'ing on this.. Our back door faces north, when i let the puppies out "do dog things"... black dog will ALWAYS go to the same area and will ALWAYS face me, so he's definitely a south poop'er... brown dog however, she don't play by the rules.. east, west, north, south, southwest.. all the same to her...

the big question is, does this theory apply to Kats?

Dunno, DD of BB. Not sure, so I'm gonna let that one slide.

No... we kilt DP

Hmmm... maybe Kat would like it if we "kilted" you, DP...

I had no idea the 22ish man was Scottish.....

 

[ThreeDJ16]

OK, I want to play! If there is room still. Man, you'll moved again and didn't tell me. Starting to think ya'll are trying to tell me sumpin'? Need to change the pond water?

And Kat, it was totally DPL's fault for blowing up your in box. Might say, he has already blown your battleship....lol. Ok, not gonna expand on that line anymore.

Can my battleship be a giant inflatable life like all parts included...........you sickos! I was gonna say rubber duckie.

 

[Kycap]

Ah har, finally found the new home !

Can an ally from over the pond in the UK play ?

I'm sure i could find a high powered gun to reach you lot.....

btw DD, I'm loving the new (ish) Boro tanks.

Nice to be back.

 

[BlueSnake]

OK, I want to play too, if there is still room.

 

[ThreeDJ16]

No....no room for you. Back of line. ....snooze you loose.

 

[DPLongo22]

Welcome back, Kycap!

And a. HUGE smile for the return of Snake and DJ. THANKS KAT!!!

I'd love to stick around but, sadly, I cannot.

I'll be watching for word of the game though, and know I've a friend or two who might keep me informed...

I shall, as some once said, be Bach.

Or something like that~~~~~

 

[Kycap]

Great to be back - Thanks DP.

I'm not even TOUCHING the email chain that has begun again, so I'm posting this here as my ONLY comment on the issue (and Kat, please forgive me).

After the initial, um, "emotions" wore down, she described us (you, Snake and me) as, and I quote:
"Three five-year old boys on a playground; making fun of each other, beating each other up, and laughing hysterically about it all."

Pretty accurate, right???

So if you think I DARE respond to any of what's going on right now (via another set of emails), y'all is crazy.

And this really is IT for me, at least for a while. The work-related tasks before me are quite daunting, and this may turn out to be my biggest challenge yet. In work, not life (not by a long shot).

Hopefully you will see me walking back in, through clearing smoke, in three-to-five days. Until then, behave yo'selves (HA!).



And Kat - where DO YOU FIND stuff like that "kilt" video? HYSTERICAL!!! Only you.

 

[DancingHeretik]

I want to play! Is it too late? Did I get in?

 

[Strings]

I have heard that song SO many times!

See... if I'm not at work or on the bike, I tend to be in a kilt
