A rose by any other name will still prick you with its thorns.

A SS Arrow artillery tank by any other name will still leave craters the size of a smaller New England state on your 3 x 3 play area.

To be
or not to be.
That is the question.

To pog
or not to pog.
There is no question.

Where for art thou Romeo?

I am still doing dual target 2 AP Artillery damage after taking 4 clicks of damage on this midsummer's eve.


Why doest thou tempt me so?

Thanks for the Ether.

lol. By the way, it makes sense that it keeps it's damage. After all, it's still shooting the same missiles through it's whole existance right?

That sort of logic doesnt apply to clicky dials. Dials subsume ammo capacity, pilot training and doctrine, morale, damage taken, and a host of other factors into one dial. They couldve made the thing more balanced without violating "logic" but they didnt. So instead we have to tolerate these stupid things until they get around to nerfing the new units that undid their old arty nerf.

Alas, poor infantry. I knew them well.

Wiether 'tis nobler to in the mind to suffer the pricks and arrows of ignoble cheese,
Or to take up arms against it, and by that,
end them. To quit, to strategize, no more.

And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days
While pogging the crud out of everything.

Re: SS AIV Tank-

Oh! That this too too solid piece would melt, thaw, and resolve itself into a lump of charred plastic.

Frailty, thy name is not SS Arrow IV Artillery tank!

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Though art more murderous, and more powerful.
Rough winds still can't force your drift to stray,
And your minimum range hath all too short a distance:
Sometime too accurate the shell of Armor Piercing falls,
And often are our hopes for victory dimm'd...

-- great to see so many Shakespeare lovers here on the Realms :).

Once more into the breach dear friends! Cry havoc and let slip the pogs of war!

Cheese, the reason that I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage of so many players.


A Short Tragedy
Authored by Luftvier and William Shakespeare

Enter Arnis, Faisal, Melcien


Arnis My reactor is online. Charge, I will back thee.

Melcien Do you charge at me, Sir?

Faisal I do charge, Sir.

Melcien Do you charge at ME, Sir?

Faisal -Are the Realmsers on our side if I say ay?

Arnis -No

Faisal No Sir, I do not charge at you, Sir; but I do Charge, sir.

Arnis Do you Quarrel, Sir?

Melcien Quarrel, Sir? No Sir.

Faisal God g'godden sir....ah #### this Shakespeare ####.
(Charges at Melcien, deals 6 damage)

Melcien O happy Arnis, I am thy sheath; here Charge and let
me die.

(Arnis charges Melcien. Melcien is reduced to slag.)


Enter Warflail

Warflail O Heavens! O Highlander Players, see how our
Longbow bleeds!
Go hence and have more talk of this Sad Thing
None shall be pardon'd but all punished:
For never was there a tale of greater sadness
Than this of Charge, Faisal, and Arnis.

Exeunt omnes.

FINIS

luftvier that is something to remember.whoops almost forgot warflail would not care about tetro

Note- I just used Warflail in my little tragedy because he is one of the more vocal HL players. IT is NOT meant to be derogatory in anyway. Warflail is just high profile and known to most players on realms, hence the usage of his name. I figured the joke would be more highly accessible in that way.

Heh. Its pretty funny too. But where is my check for promotional likeness and such? ;)

When you start speaking in iambic pentameter all of the time, you'll get a check :p

How about Haiku? That doesnt make my head spin nearly as bad.
