Haha, looks like Propagandhi did a song sorta about that game America's Army (or at least they use it on the lyrics page, heh.)

Good times
From their labels website, heh:
Three visibly aging trainables, clearly in the wrong line of work and quite seriously on the verge of suicide, make a recording of their private thoughts set to music for distribution to the general public. New laments, meditations and extrapolations from people who just cannot believe they have to be here.

Bravo! No shit, I DREAMED about stealing minatures and paints last night/this morning. Think it was a mini-dream while I snoozed before work, but I swear to goodness, I had this bizarre dream. It's pretty faded from memory, but went something like this: Some kind of game-store was having a parking lot "going outta business" sale, and either I worked there or my friends worked there. And I was totally trying to figure out how to steal some paints and minis so I can paint them and play. Don't remember if the dream mentioned the game you guys are playing specifically, but I assume it was about that. I remember I stole the minis alright, but was real nervous about trying to pocket a paint set (think a set of paints was $58 dollars lol, and I was like "no way!") Fighting with myself, I couldn't remember if I had an old set of minis paint from my ultra-brief stint of buying that stupid gillion dollar space marine set. Was a fuckin' funny dream. Think before I woke I had reluctantly decided to just take home the minis and at least prime them or something. Think I chickened out from snaggin' the paint set. what the fuck!
anyways, awesome presentaion mike!

Now that was impressive.
Very nice field report. I quite enjoyed the read. I also liked the narrative style. Motobyke, did you guys take photos after each turn for documentation for the graphics? That gets me fired up. Edit: It actually reminds me of the old GW White Dwarf battle reports back in the day.
I gotta do some more painting. I think I may get some in tomorrow since I have a day off. Rule!.

Where Mercenaries Dare to Tread
‘Sometimes the ends justify the means,’ said High Exemplar Kreoss, ‘we can not withstand the Communist Threat posed by Khador and their vodka powered jacks any longer! What is more interesting is why Axphixious is willing to unite with us. The hellish darkness arising from the Broken Coast does not normally suffer the living to remain so for long in their presence. Many of my own Flameguard are now in his employ after our recent victory over the warwitch Deneghra. I just hope that this gamble will be worth the price we pay with our souls... may Menoth protect us!’

Setup:
Using the terrain board made famous by GenCon SoCal 2005, Cryx and the Protectorate decided to take the temple side of the board because the forest and temple might offer some protection and a position from which to strike at the Vodka menace. The tall hill on the left side was also considered advantageous as a launching ground for the deliverers and Sunburst artillery. The faithful of Meningitis therefore assembled on the temple side, while the Iron Chef Ass Fixation occupied the forest area.
The Communist Threat, sporting an array of 5 heavy warjacks, fearless and nearly indestructible troopers spread evenly across the northern part of the board. Karchev the Terrible, a Juggernaught and a Marauder made for a solid left flank, whilst Sorscha, the Berserker, Devastator and Destroyer held the right side with the pikemen and Kovnik. Advance deployment of the widowmakers secured the west flank, and the Doom Reavers appeared in the centre of the sandy wash.
Turn 1
Alliance
The Iron Chef’s Scrap thralls marched forward, sacrificial lambs to the widowmaker’s fury. The rest of the Cryx army quickly scurried into the forest for cover, safe for the Pistolwraith, who was busy putting powder into his pistols. Lumbering Mechanithralls seemed ready to repulse any attack from the doom reavers, whose anti-magic abilities confounded Cryx’s attempts to damage them, whilst the Slayer and Asphyxious remained safe behind the lines.
Chanting the name of Menoth to themselves the Flameguard advanced, attempting to hold the pass between the temple ruins and the tall hill. They were supported by the Revenger and the Crusader on their right. Meanwhile the deliverers and the sunburst artillery hastened for the hill as fast as they could and the Repenter, unnoticed began a long flanking manoeuvre.
Khador
With a crash battle was joined as the Scrap thralls went up in a blaze of smoke. At the same time, Khador’s finest artillery rained down upon the Mechanithralls in front of it. Kommander Sorscha did not hesitate to use her magical energies to unleash the charge of the Devastator, which rumbled threateningly close to Menoth’s mindless, interrupting the entire plan of attack in the area. With it’s nigh impenetrable 25 armour, this behemoth was not to be moved, while the remaining troops advanced behind it.
Turn 2
Alliance
Cyrx continued to jockey for position, attempting to find the correct angle with which to apply it’s magicks against the Red foe. The forest continued to keep the valuable bone jacks safe from the widowmakers sniper shots, while the pistol wraith began a silent advance. The Iron Chef was generous with his blessing, granting extra powers to the Menoth flame guard, who felt their nails sharpen and horns grow out of their armour. Would the Great one forgive them for this blasphemy? Only time would tell. Unholy vapours arising from the ground on the western side of battlefield could not damage the heavy jacks and fearless infantry of the Khador army.
Crying the name of Menoth, the flameguard charged the Devastator, but even their combined efforts could not begin to damage this elephant’s hide. Even the help of the Revenger to their left could not help them. Reaching the top of the hill, the deliverer’s unleashed a hail of fire, which nevertheless could not damage the pikemen below them.
Khador
With a horrendous cry and crash of metal the Khadorian army unleashed its most fearsome weapons with full force. While the Devastator unexpectedly pushed the Revenger out of the way, the pikemen charged forward to attack the Flameguard, who in their eagerness to damage the Devastator had not formed their ranks and were gravely wounded. Watching their comrades fall, they nevertheless held firm. At the same time, the Destroyer, climbing a small hillock smashed the Sunburst artillery into dust with its massive gun, not allowing the unit to fire a single shot in the battle. Kovnik, revealing his mysterious axe-rifle and the Kommander herself began to pick of deliverers at their leisure. Meanwhile, the Berserker and the Doom Reavers moved into combat with the Mechanithralls, cutting through them without difficulty. One of the Doom Reavers in his enthusiasm attacked the Berserker next to him! Karchev the Terrible lived up to his name, towing heavy jacks into striking range and then unleashing them with a most horrible crashing of metal. Unfortunately for the Red Terror, Asphyxious’ bonejacks were too quick to be caught and the force of this attack was thwarted.
Turn 3
Alliance
It had been the darkest hour of the battle, but as it passed, the Alliance surged forth with its own counter-offensive. Determined to smash Karchev into the ground, Cryx applied all of its force to this end. The pistol wraith began with a volley, while the Stalker leapt forth, unleashing terrible damage, and Asphyxious, using all of his magical abilities summoned horrible parasites to inhabit the half-jack, half-warcaster which opposed him, bringing even the very fires of hell against his foe. Despite appalling wounds, Karchev refused to suffer even one system failure. Meanwhile the Mechanithralls struck back at the Berserker.
Still believing that force of numbers could overwhelm the Devastator, the Crusader charged in to lend its strength, while the Flameguard bravely battled back against the Iron Fangs. Moving through this commotion, Kreoss and his Devout ran over the hill in order to flank the jacks and attempt to attack Kommander Sorscha directly.
Khador
In what would be the turning point of the battle, suddenly the luck of the Vodka driven troops ran out. Karchov the terrible proved unable to flatten the Stalker, though he inflicted heavy damage upon it, while the Devout bodyguard leapt in front of Kreoss, protecting him from the missile fire of his foes. The Devout could not protect him from the mighty ‘Boundless charge’ of the Destroyer however, who pressed down upon the Menite Warcaster. Had Kommander Sorscha unleashed her feat at this moment, surely the battle would have been over, but this was not the will of Menoth. At the same moment, the Devastator pushed the Crusader backwards into the ruins of the temple. Perhaps it was this act of desecration which caused the change in the winds of fortune. The Flameguard was wiped out to a man, just retribution for gaining benefit from Cryxian magicks. While mortar fire continued to fall upon the unlucky Mechanithrall, the Berserker, losing interest in their slaughter turned it’s back upon them and made ready to charge the Revenger. A well placed attack brought the might jack to its knees. Meanwhile the Juggernaught slammed one of the bone thralls, throwing it clear across the forest, but in this fight the normally fragile bonejacks seemed unwilling to fall.

Yeah -- too long, and boring, with about an hour of really good scenes that are wasted in the mire.
XmasCon Battle Report
Mike and Dave Defeat came by for a game tonight and it was awesome. We played a king of the hill game which Dave pwned, followed by an epic 1000-point battle that actually didn't take that long -- about 3.5 hours. Dave fielded 1000 points of Khador and Mike and I were a team with 500 points each, me with Cryx and him with Protectorate. I'm not quite sure how such a situation would arise. For those of you who don't follow the game, this is basically the Pope teaming up with Satan to fight Stalin. I guess it could happen.
In the first few rounds things looked grim for Mike and I. I was holed up in a forest feeling useless and Mike had a big wall of warjacks and infantry coming at him. Our attacks were plinking off the big 'jacks doing almost nothing and it seemed completely hopeless. Around turn three things started coming together. I started unloading sneaky bastard tricks at Karchev, and over two turns managed to whittle him down and take him out (and his battlegroup). In turn four, Dave made a kind of a big tactical error with Sorscha where he forgot to use her feat before sending in a jack to charge Mike's caster. If he'd remembered, he had a good shot at killing or seriously weakening Mike's caster and the next couple of turns would have looked a lot different. Anyway, Mike put up a strong counteroffensive and killed Sorscha to win the game.
It was my first time fighting Khador and it was pretty interesting. You cannot take on those warjacks mano-a-mano and hope to survive. You need to be a bastard about trying to knock them down and getting around them to expose the warcasters. In fact, when Cryx is fighting Khador, I think the more small jacks you have the better. Some of those power attacks are really helpful in gumming up the big jacks, and the more arc nodes the better.
Anyway it was cool! I was really surprised that it went so quickly. It didn't take a lot longer than a 500-point game. It was sure cool to see all that metal on the tahle, too.

Xmas was pretty good. Fun with the family and the sort. Gifts and goodies. Oh yeah and a broken car. My car is immobile in a tow yard in some town called Mendota California. Hurray for Friday's traffic on the I-5 + rain. And I am sick. Uggg.
On the up side, I got to throw down with David's new warmachine army. Menoth. We played until 2am Christmas morning. It was a close one, but finally Magnus succumbed to his many injuries.
Boo, it is raining again

Paging Doctor Professor Janitor Michael Manders, Lately of Cambridge
WARMACHINE, either tomorrow (Monday) from 12-5 or Tuesday (Tuesday) in the evening. I have completely forgotten your home number! I even looked through all the entries of your last name in the phone book and none of the numbers rang a bell, and Enron didn't return my call, probably because Pat is holding him off the balcony while Dave feeds him deep-fried Hot Pockets and punches him in the stomach, and I don't want to call Eric right now 'cause he might be asleep 'cause he's sick, so I didn't call you tonight, but I'll try to tomorrow if you don't see and respond to this post, which seems likely. Do not fret for if I don't get a hold of you by noon tomorrow we can instead play Tuesday night!
I am at my parents' house which is the same number as always, you can call me there if you don't have my cell phone!
This has been a personal message from Ragnar Oeterson to Professor Doctor Janitor Michael Manders!

Merry Merry Christmas Y'all
Hey guys! Well merry Xmas, and here's hoping it was a good one for all, maybe even a totally crazy triple-Xmas with hazelnut syrup.
I made out pretty well this year as I got geeky gifts from both my girlfriend and sister! Huzzah! I got Serenity, Feast for Crows, a WARMACHINE Seether, and... this was a really cool surprise... the Game of Thrones RPG. For those of you who haven't seen it is a real beaut. A mammoth, gorgeous, full-color d20 conversion. It's also got this nice matte color that it just fun to touch. I love it!
Other presents included an espresso maker, so it looks like this January's minis weekend will be fueled by caffeine as well as by necrotite and coal.
Hope everyone is doing well and I'll talk to y'all soon!

Merry New Year
So, here I am, 3.30 in the morning, Xmas morning, laying on Leslie's parent's couch because the plague that I have had for the past 5 days makes me cough at night still and I don't want to make Leslie have a poor nights sleep because that could lead to sickness. And apparently run on sentences. And sentence fragments. Anyhoo, Santa has been here already (I think I am laying on a stocking as I type), which reminded me to wish The Action Team a very merry holiday season, and I hope everyone experiences some delightful holiday magic amidst the family and capitalist obligations we all have. Cheers!
PS the game stuff is the first pile of stuff you see as you open the garage door. I think the terrain is in the box to the right of the boards. Enjoy!

Jorn, Myke, Denis
While you guys are kicking around the ole MB playing some Holiday Warmachine, feel free to come on over, and head into the garage to pick up boards and terrain if you wish. I got a 4'x4' grass board in 2'x2' pieces and a box of choice terrain that Denis and I made up. It's not alot, but it has served us well. So, feel free to pick it up, use it, abuse it, but please just drop it back off before you head out! Or leave it with Mike or Denis.
Coolio foolio's?
Are you home Mike? WTF? Or rather, FTW (the new WTF)?
While you guys are kicking around the ole MB playing some Holiday Warmachine, feel free to come on over, and head into the garage to pick up boards and terrain if you wish.

Dr. Action Plan Anderson
Here's what we're gonna do. Denis and I are going up thurday night/afternoon because Aaron took friday off, and we planned on having some debaucherous revelry thursday night. Then, after you are finished with work on friday, you catch a one way flight up, we pick you up in Oakland, then go to Endgame, buy some MORE Warmachine stuff, then go back to SF, and game the fucking fuck out of that pansy ass town and play the paint of the foil ball with hat miniatures.
Then we can all drive home on sunday, and still maintain the full use of Enron's day off. It looks like you can get a 1.30 flight out of LAX for $99 bucks. I'll pitch in $20 bucks to sweeten the deal if necessary. I'll be spending that much on gas alone!
Sound good?

Mykal: I feel for you. I think a number of us Actiony Action enablers are wily vets to the pains of long-term Involuntary unemployment. It sucks bad and their is not a lot I can tell you to make it better, but, just stick with it and eventually you will find what works for you. Just remember one important thing: do not become reclusive out of shame, guilt, anger, or any other unemployment angst... I found that the more I avoided interacting with people for various reasons the more I fostered negative thoughts. You need to let loose and give yourself some social time. Be patient and it will work out. That being said, Awesome that you are official. More educated then any of us heathens. BTW, mad props for the red cape. You guys are all like little baby Supermen. Ready to take on the evil geniuses of society.
fArt: Painting the Mini's is a lot of fun. I have enjoyed what little time I have had to invest in mini painting the past month. Tangent: Uggg, most of my players for Fantasy Hockey have been broken, tired, or otherwise unproductive. Grrrr...
jA-eL: When are we going to see your nasty-burger eatin', magic-bullet sucking pretty mug? Will you be in the states for long. Give us some dates bro. Gamin' has not been the same with out Ice-lee.

Congratulations on finally making it official Myke! Don't worry too much about your job situation. God knows a lot of us have been through extended periods of unemployments (COUGHCOUGH JonEricJaelEnronDenisRyan... damn... Rudy and Art are the only ones who've been consistently employed since college). Even if you end up as Janitor Motorbyke, well, you'll always have a place in The Action Team!
SO speaking of camaraderie and togetherness, I hope you guys can make it up in Jan. for Warmachine Weekend. One thing I will say is don't come up unless you are seriously ready to a) play some games b) eat some delicious food. I am fucking serious as stone-cold fuck.
Also I wanted to test the waters for two things this coming week:
1. Anybody up for the annual Christmas Eve Poopathon? Basically every Christmas Eve afternoon (from about 3:00-5:30, usually) I go with some friends to a couple bars in downtown Hermosa and have a couple o' beers, play some foosball, maybe even smoke a cigarette? WHO KNOWS! Anyway anybody who has some free time that day is free to come by. Always a good time.
2. Also, anybody up for some gaming on Monday or Tuesday? I know Aeryk and Enron are going to be busy... BOO... but there's no reason the rest of us can't get together. I hear that Dave guy has a couple of miniatures now too, I'm gonna call him up as well.
Oh and by the way, glad to see you're being pulled in by the gravitational force of miniatures Art. Pick yourself up a starter set and get thee hence to San Francisco. Aaron and I'll show you how to roll the dice!

Dr. Priest Michael Motorbike, 2nd level!
Hey art, how would I reach you for some beer and Hard crock, when i'm in vegas?
Last night I had the worst burger. I made it myself. Ground beef is not readily available, so I had this slab of mystery beef of unknown portion in the fridge that the helper found in the market. Great, so I thought I'd cut it up and ground it with my dormates Magic Bullet (tm). Blended that shit good and fried it up. Well, the meat was extremely tough and stringy to begin with, but the magic bullet didn't grind the beef fully. So I was gnawing on the chunky burger. Also there were some uncleaned tendons in there which made it just so much more chewable.
On the other hand, the greasy fresh fries were not so bad by comparison!
Ah... livin in the philippines. I'm gonna miss it when i'm in SF.

Congrats, again. Here's to making lots of mon-ay and earning prestige and fame. =)

Regarding miniatures, gaming and whatnot.. I think I might pick up some paints and miniatures just to do it. I miss the process and fun of painting, even if I can't play teh games. I have a month off of school starting today, so that'll hopefully lend itself a little bit towards some "me" time.

Regarding Fantasy Hockney: Guys, I'm sorry. I just got lucky with the draft. =/

Dr Motorbyke is now official
Just in case you wanted to know what a silly twat I looked like on my graduation day. It was fun. I will miss Cambridge. I'm hoping that I have a job after this, I've some interviews at a conference after Christmas, but it's not looking good really. Its stressful and I can't believe that I never seem to have any time to do anything else. GenCon SoCal seems like a distant dream to me. Yeah, that's why I never post or anything. Will you guys still like me if I have to give it all up and not be Professor Football anymore?
Elrock, I'd be up for going up for that weekend but I can't leave on Thursday -- must teach on Friday morning (10-11am). Hopefully we can work it out, otherwise I'll have to sit here being sad.

If you guys haven't seen it, go run out and rent/buy/borrow Paradise Lost (1 and 2.) It's the documentaries about the West Mephis 3. www.wm3.org Shit is insane! Fuck the bible-belt inbreds of the world. Jesus.
Edit: Plus the soundtrack is all classic metallica. Gotta love it.
Jael! Good to hear from you man! Yeah, one day my AOL had some new name for me so I figured it's been so many years, they expired Lil Rudy I guess. Good luck with the pill slangin!

A word of advice
Do not use old primer. I had three cans of primer from the El Segundo days. Two of them were partially used. If you have cans that were used some 4 years prior and then you bust them out again, you will be disappointed. What resulted was a couple of my minitures had extra chunky primer. Kind of like the old Floquil days for those of you that used that crap from the Paul Frieler days. I guess the nozzles had some shit in them. The unused can worked fine. Moral of the story. Pay the $10 bucks and be happy.

SF Con '06
Damn. FOr some reason the whole Dennis quiting the of his new promotional position is just too funny. Dennis if you go through with it, wow. A story for the grand kids I should think.
I am slowly working on my mini's. I had forgotten how dreadfully slow I am when painting, but I have been happy with the way things have been turning out.
I look forward to throwing down gloves with someone other than Jorn. Not that he isnt fun to play, but variety is the spice of life and so far I have had a steady monogamous relationship with Jorn. I need to get some more experience, sleeze around a bit. I say the more the better.

No Reason SF-Con '06
So, the plan is to invade SF for a no reason con, other than I need to get out of the house cause Leslie is having an all weekend baby shower with her friends! Man, what a rube. My house is being invaded by the ladies all weekend, and there are 3 of them sleeping in my bed, and what do I do? Leave to hang out with boys. Good thing I'm married, cause I don't got a players bone in my body....
My plan is to leave thursday night (Jan 12th), and return Sunday /afternoon/night (Jan 15th). Is anybody with me?!?! Warmachine all weekend! Maybe some pizza and some beer!
Talked to fARTichoke last night, and if he can swing it he might make it up, which would be sweet. If Denis goes through with the most punk rock move of his life by accepting a promotion at work, and then quitting the day he starts, he will be in! If Mike ever checks this blog again, or returns from England (which is where I think he is), Mike is in. If Rudy wants to play Warmachine, he is in!
All I ask is that everyone pitch in some cash for the gas-guzzler!
Okay. I have 13 miniatures to paint by that weekend. Vlad, 3 Widowmakers, 3 Greylord Ternions, mortar gunner, mortar crew, Reinholdt, a Devastator, a Manhunter, and Kommandant Irusk.
I will post regular updates.
Also, I am compiling all of the interesting War College stuff from the link that Jon posted into a manual for all to read. It is really a fine read. Good stuff!

Yeah! that'd be superb!
Downtown is the place to go if ur a local and you know the joints. I doubt there's anymore penny slots. We gotta come up with some rowdy nicknames in case we finish in the top 10 (final table) and bring some accessories to boot. I was thinking we'd stick to the low buyin tourneys, becuz well, it's nice to take other peoples money BUT.... (fiddles with the odds chart)
I'll be in vegas from the 22nd eve, to the 25th morn. Let me know if you are available on one of the two days 23rd, 24th.
EDIT: This is a total beginning to a chevy chase movie

Oddly enough, since moving back to Vegas I haven't gotten out to a casino to play live poker. I've played online a bit, but due to time and life-responsibilities I just haven't been able to get out and get it done for real. Maybe I could talk the wife into a night out with ya, and we could go hit some tables and take some poor old downtown people's mon-ay? That'd be fun! Maybe hit the 'shoe or Fitz' or something.
There's always dime craps as well, as I recall. Hard to beat that.
Good times.
What day(s) will you be here?

Sounds great Avon,
I'm there, whenever that things going, going. My ex girlfriend will be in texas, so i doubt she'll be attending, seeing that we broke up anyhow... /sob as usual, I'll be the only odd one out that is not a couple attending this event, so if you guys don't mind having a mid-aged bachelor in your midst, I'm good! well... maybe me and francis can be friends just for the party and make it a roman party. /cry
Rome series is awesome! I wished there's more fighting. One of these days they should make a miniseries more on combat and combat. I'm sure there'd be a good audience for it.
We can probably find something to do besides golf and warcrack. These kids hasn't invited us into the treehouse, so we'll just have to do something cooler! do you play the texas hold em tourneys? maybe we could do some low buyin pokerin then!

Haha. Yeah, Cryx are tricky li'l guys. That game was my first try with the Iron Chef Asphyxious and he is just an amazing bastard. He would kill dwarves, grab their souls for focus, then use his super-cheap "now I move 10" away through walls and terrain" spell. Enron couldn't really get him, but in the end it didn't matter because I couldn't stop him from getting away with the trezor. Anyway it was fun but we really need to rewrite the rules for the Treasure scenario to make it quicker.
Anyway. So yeah, warcasters are balls rad, but they're not really intended to be the guys out in the thick of things. I usually find that when I am fighting with my warcaster, I am about to lose. For the most part you want to keep them just close enough to make their spells useful and give focus to the warjacks. There are certain guys who might be exceptions. The Butcher seems like one and so does Vladimir.
I recommend cherry-picking scenarios from the Escalation campaign. Look them over and possibly adjust them for 500 pts (although most scenarios would probably be OK with 750). The first Khador-Cygnar scenario has Khador defending a guard tower, and if Cygnar doesn't capture it after 8 turns you start rolling for the arrival of Khador's reinforcements (and thus the end of the game). Maybe 6 turns would be more appropriate for a 500 pt game.
Anyway even though the campaign as it stands is sort of cumbersome and unrealistically long I think there's a lot of good stuff to be mined from it.

Ja _El
Aimey and I are having a few people over. I think Jon and Janice will be attending as well. If you are in town come join us try and finish the beer of death. If you are around we should bust out some games too.
War casters can be tough to kill if the player uses them conservatively. Nearly everytime mine has been killed is when I take a risk with them. Although sometimes you need to. Some are better at avoiding death than others. Cryx seems to have a lot of good defensive characteristic for their casters.

Fun Fun Fun
ELzar: Jon and I had similar experiences in the begining, but that has changed since they. We tend to be a lot more reserved with our casters and only use them directly in combat if they are able to use a some sort of trickery to get out of trouble fast. Read: Cryx Bastards. Or they will get used in dire, I gotta do this or die scinarios. The last game I played with Jorn for 500 points, I killed every guy on the board while has caster danced around like a little bitch. Cryx is slippery. In the end I did not kill his caster and left the board with the objective. Our game lasted nearly four hours. A bit of gritty battle and a little bit of inexpierence on both our parts with new jacks/casters/units etc...
More on this later

i'll cry if i want to
1) I'm late for this party, again! and with risk of sounding like a complete noob, (U dumb N**B!), I remember having the toughest time killing jons spellcaster. I had all three warjacks alive and his spellcaster just mopped up a few of my warjacks before I was able to finally take him down. Now, has the game changed or you guys found some new rules?
2) let's get it on! in vegas! do you play golf?

Warmachine and You
Played a quickie with Denis this weekend, it ended poorly for everyone's favorite hottie, Sorcha. She was unceremoniously shot 8 times in the back while on the ground by some gutless long-gunners while she was recovering from a passing eathquake. Which brings up my next question about Warmachine and you.
Denis and I play our games to the death of the warcaster, and the games seem to end rather shortly, and without any other troops really getting in the mix at all. We both like to see what the casters can do, but it seems the first person to move the caster into a position to really be used effectively, they are counterattacked and smeared across the earth.
While it is fun, it leaves somewhat of a empty feeling when it is all done and said, at least for me. We have these kick ass mini's and all this firepower and brute strength on the board, and it comes down to who moves their caster out from behind the wall of steel first.
Is this your experience, too? Of course, this will all change when we start to play scenarios, and if we ever use two casters. I didn't really follow either game played at GenCon so I don't know how it worked out there.
Either way, it is fun, and I am still addicted, I was just wondering if there Denis and I were missing something, since we only play each other.

Some stupid kid
now ownzorz "Lil Rudy" on AOL and AIM. I guess i still had it in my system and for some odd reason i thought it was rudy. He was just full of sugar and spice as all pre-teen 10 year olds are these days and can't spell worth a dime.
sooooo... i've made my decision, and i'm importing a bunch of vitamins to the philippines. Its my first order, so i hope it'll pan out. Investment is always risky, and I wish there was 100% chance that I know exactly if I'll be able to sell any of it. But either i'll be extremely healthy with 5 years supply of multi vitamins or not! Of course if I'm stuck with 5 years of multis, i will gladly ensure my fellow AT team members health as well!
I'll be back on the 21st and so i will call whoever is in town and up for gaming. Actually I'll be in Las vegas with my mom but, i'll be back by end of year. Any new years parties invites????

sooooo... i've made my decision, and i'm importing a bunch of vitamins to the philippines. Its my first order, so i hope it'll pan out. Investment is always risky, and I wish there was 100% chance that I know exactly if I'll be able to sell any of it. But either i'll be extremely healthy with 5 years supply of multi vitamins or not! Of course if I'm stuck with 5 years of multis, i will gladly ensure my fellow AT team members health as well!
I'll be back on the 21st and so i will call whoever is in town and up for gaming. Actually I'll be in Las vegas with my mom but, i'll be back by end of year. Any new years parties invites????

Wait -- I thought Dave Chappelle went nutz and there's no more show? Did he get it back together? Or is this just some stuff that they filmed before his meltdown? (Ie, when he went nutz.)
Jael -- one more thing about SoCal Gencon, perhaps the most important and saddest thing -- NO ASIAN PORN STARS. Sorry buddy.
PS Fremont is still full of crazy horny chicks -- pretty much overrun by this time -- who will play hero to Fremont now?

That's an annoying hot dog!
Normally I'd sleep until 9:30 or so but this morning I woke up as 7:30 and thought, "I'd fired up as fuck to prime some miniatures!" So that's what I'm gonna do! I have these huge bags under my eyes, too, it's aweomse ( <-- British spelling).
Update! Eric, I forgot to mention -- you were right about the Rick James episode of the Chapelle Show. That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in years. I wish I had two extra hands, so I could give four thumbs up!

Just wanted to drop a quick line. I see the WOW fever has swept back. Check out this add-on website curse-gaming.com. Can't believe after a year, WOW is still the top 2 searches on the yahoo google search engine under the game category. Chicks in wow? Hot chicks?... I dunno.
Sorry to hear your having so much virus problems with your computer rude. We have trend micro as a virus scanner for the company, but honestly I think there's still a few undetected viruses in my computer that the program hasn't picked up. I'm thinking of switching to Norton.
As for factory life, recently I moved, after experiencing a break-in to the house, to the factory complex. It's more secure, I get a pre-modern room instead of a pre-historic house, and there is running elec, water, cable access, dsl and limited other occupants! So considering it's in the philippines, it's a high tech dormatory. My roomates are the best part. Next door, is two guys from malay, one of whom is the owner of magnatron factory for a type of semicon paste screen applicator thingamabob, drinks a lot of whisky and walks around the house with a big beer belly, and the other guy is outgoing, scuba diving, cave exploring, outdoor type. No one here is a gamer, however. It's a rare trait so i haven't done much gaming. My building mates are quite characters and it's interesting to find out stuff about malaysia and they have never been to the US. I always thought EVERYONE must have been or seen the US. MUST. So wrong, it's such a funny notion.

there was not enough so cal convention coverage.

Wow Rude, 12 worms and trojans? One for every month of the year! I hereby appoint you The Action Team's official Internet Security Expert. Maybe you could load a different virus onto your system every day of December leading up to Christmas. It would be an advent calendar of infection!
I love Rocky Road ice cream. Every time I eat a bowl of it I am immediately tempted to eat another.
Enron and I fortified ourselves with pizza (Extreme Pizza!) and delicious beer and went to it with his new Merc army yesterday. All in all a good showing by the new guy. Although I trounced him my first game, when we called the second game on time things were very even, with I would say the advantage leading towards him! Anyway we're talking about building some terrain come the new year! My dream of building a 30mm scale reproduction of Edwardian London may soon be realized!
Edited to remove language. Because nobody expects to read bad language on the Internet!

yeah the trend micro scanner is the one I used initially to find all the crap on my computer. Would also help if I didn't download random torrents. And after d/ling them, when I go to execute them, nothing happens. Yup! I'm sure I infected the hell outta myself that way a few times. Oh well! Comp is CLEAN as all shit now, so time to rebuild!
Norton sucks anyway.
You can get better (and free) complete system scans through Trend Micro's free online scanner. That and Spybot Search & Destroy (also free) together will kill about 98% of the shit you can pick up. You can take it up to 99.9% by getting your hands on the (free free free) CWShredder application. Those three things combined have only failed to completely clean any system I've gone into in very very rare circumstances.
And, they don't imbed themselves into every orifice of your computer, causing rectal bleeding and ass herpes when you try to remove them (like Norton).

Ok, well I guess the 1st techs i talked to about my computer were right. Shit got nutty again last night, and so I finally ran a current virus scan (havent renewed norton in over a year) and yikes, had 12 worms and trojans and other nasty shit. Tried fixing them but it just got worse and worse. SO, had the fun time of reinstalling everything again. Went out and bought the latest Norton also. I think I went too nuts with bittorrent stuff - ugh, I'm dumb. Well, guess you gotta get bit in the ass once in awhile!

I wish I had some kind of secret weapon or knowledge base from which to draw that I could point to and explain my fantasy hockney domination. Unfortunately, all I've done to date is replace the players that were on IR or otherwise dead for the season with players off of the free agent list that first week.. and then just made sure I've got my active guys plugged in for any given day. It's really quite mindless. Kind of like those keychain digital "pet" gadgets from a few years ago? Every once in a while you hit a few buttons to make sure it's got food or some shit, and forget about it the rest of the time.
Sorry, I know that's got to be absolutely infuriating for you hockney fanatics.. lol.. speaking of.. I think I'm due to go activate some players for the next week or so.

Piss on the Tech Support
Those DSL/Cable Modem support groups suck. They never get it right and seem to cause more problems then solve. On a few occasions they have asked me to perform the most boneheaded things. Maybe if they paid those people more than $9.50 an hour they might get better results. Sorry to hear about the Drive wipe. On the otherhand, it is nice to do that from time to time to clear out all the crud that builds up.
I enjoyed A Feast for Crows but I will have to admit I was bummed not getting to read about a number of the plot lines. Also, I just could not get into the Iron Island threads, especially in the begining.
David is rabid about War Machine. He has called me the past couple of days asking me about my progress and telling about his. Good to see him move from WoW crack to War Machine crack.
Brilliant: Mr.T once punched Chuck Norris at the exact moment he roundhouse kicked Mr.T in the chest. the result was the 80's. and On all 3428 instances it occured, when Mr. T and Chuck Norris both 'deflower' the same woman, the resulting spermal battles have caused the woman's uterus to explode in a flurry of pity and roundhouse kicks.
Damnit Art: You nearly have a perfect score in Fantasy. Fucker. Mean while my guys have been masturbating the past few days. Grrrrr...
You guys don't grow shit; plus, if I tore your legs off, you would look like snowmen.

So, after reinstalling windows xp like 3 times this week (with a full drive wipe, etc) and going through hardcore internet withdrawls, I finally got so fed up and called my isp again. Last time I had talked to the techs there, they said "it's something on your end! run norton or something." I did, and found nothing. Gave it one more go tonight, did a million things over the phone with this tech, finally, last thing he asked me to do was unplug my phone from the wall and just plug the modem direct avoiding the splitter.
...
Little piece of shit radio shack splitter i've had for like 3 years must of died over the weekend, and that was the cause of all my comp problems. No virus or spyware. Didn't need to wipe my drive. I'm happy and pissed and just glad it's all over. Was sorta nice to take a break from the comp, but baby i'm back now! You missed me internet! And at least I got to wipe the shit outta my drive and start clean - haven't done that since i got the comp couple of years ago.
Art! That shit was hilarious! Gonna email that to some friends.

Hehe,I've got a pic up at that site. Hint: Server Twisting Nether
Man- killed my computer. Actually, purposely wiped my drive before I realized I can't find the proper os disks. fuck. gonna go search my shit hole again.
ADDED: While im at a somewhat working computer (my dads) yeah, wow is very fun! i had actually caught the hunter fever and had/have a orc hunter on Lightinghoof (rp-pvp the only way to go dude!) but alas he floats alone helpless at the crossroads at the ripe ol' age of 27. They've buffed the hell outta hunters and we are HELLISH in the battleground. Also, i got into taming the leet pets (my hunter had the pink flamingo -dead- "The Rake" fasest pet you can get till the mid 30s and the ultimate pet, HUMAR, a black lion. Lvl 23 elite in the barrens who's on a 12-24 hour spawn time. Camped his spawn location for like 5 hours, (was reading Feast o Crows) and fell asleep. Woke the next morning and just logged on to see if he was there and WHALA! Got that mo-fo!)
Finished Feast for Turkey Dinners the other night,and eh, it was good. Kind of half-assed and fake cause George RR Martin's little explantion at the back of the book doesn't make up for it being not a full book. I liked it cuz i like the world and characters and story etc, but seriously, aside from a couple of little plot advancements, just a whole lotta bullshit name dropping and teasing. Ah well - next one better make up for this one BIG TIMESZ!
RRRAAAWWWK!

Remember when most of our posts were about WoW? Well, here I go again.
- Finally finished Deadmines. It was fun! After having group meltdown 3 times in a row with a bunch of jarks, the 4th group was teh shitz! So fun! Last time I was there was with Rudy, when we thought we could do it by ourselves. Disaster!
- Have you seen this site? Weird. I gather 3 things from this site. 1) People post their honest to god pictures of themselves. 2) Some people post pictures that are NOT of themselves, but instead of hot women. 3) Maybe some WoW players are hot women.
I'm tempted to post myself as a strange sort of craving for uber-nerdiness factor level increase.
Okay. I like other stuff too, but man, I caught the WoW fever again! Me likey priests! It's like my total opposite alter-ego: Everyone likes having a priest around and they are useful! Whereas no one like having me around, and I am a waste of precious oxygen.

Ai dios mio! Sigues jugando WoW? Que lastima! Pero no te preocupes, hice un "hunter." Y como siempre se llama Kasiopaeia. Ella solamente es 8vo nivel, por eso voy a jugar mas.
(heh heh, Babel Fish makes me sound Russian)
Yes Jon! Green stuff is the indeed the shit. Just ask any of the lovingly sculpted effigies of ex-girlfriends lining my bookshelves...er Space Marine conversions... yeah, Space Marines.
Did I get demoted? That's Triple X Xtreme, son. Hooowa! Gotta fly high with the big boys if you don't wanna suck jet fumes. Hoowa!

I <3 Green Stuff
This shit is awesome. It's made gluing fiddly pieces together a lot easier and I don't feel as reliant on zip kicker, which I detest the smell of and also am convinced is extremely toxic. Also I'm finally making progress on gluing together my mammoth elephant-man and thanks to the green shite it no longer has huge holes where you can see through one side of the miniature to the other. Yay!
Glad to hear you got some more use out of WoW Aeryk, way to lose you fuckin' Sulu, that's not how Double X Xtreme and Top Gun would've rolled but whatever some guys are just born to lose lol noob
Top > Gun >> Flyin' Hi!

The Weekend By The Numbers
0 - Games won by Eric. Also, the number of miniatures I painted.
1 - Games played of ASL (won by Enron).
2 - Games of World of Warcrack played by Eric and Heather. Eric lost as both the Rogue and Mage combo (in PvP combat), and as Warrior and Shaman combo (Heather beat the boss after I lost to him the round before!). Heather was the warrior/paladin the first game and the paladin/hunter the second, fyi.
3 - AM/PM coffee's consumed.
4 - Number of Warcasters I have for Khador. I still have yet to play an official game of Warmachine that consists of more than Denis and I squaring off across a 2'x2' board with no terrain. Go figure.
10 - Dice included in the new Khador dice tin by Gale Force 9 games, which was picked up this weekend by me along with a Platoon Transport Bag, Commandant Irusk, and Vladimir, the Dark Prince.
14 - Level of my new Priest character in WoW. Kirin Tor server if anyone wants to join me. His name is Brothersimon.... a perfect compliment to my level 11 Night Elf Rogue, Ro....
34,453 - Calories consumed this weekend eating turkey fixin's, pie, pizza, beer, eggs, bacon, Islands Hawaiian Burger, Back Home at Lahina chop steak and spam musubi's, and more pie.

The unbeatable 'O'
Man that Art guy is an ass. Geez. Well, I can say it is pretty frustrating that someone who does not follow hockey has been a force to be reckoned with in the league. Bass. On the otherhand it gives us something to achieve.
Rude: The George R.R. Martin experience was brief. By that time he had been signing books for the better half of two hours and the line behind us was still building, so he didnt have much time to chat. He did seem nice and didnt have a problem with us taking a photo. He seemed gracious when I gave him a compliment. His signed note was cool, "Winter is coming". He definately did not look as bad as that picture on SA. He seemed slimmer, much less sickly, generally jovial.

Assholo-mio:
I am sorry Art. I meant that post to be more tounge-and-cheek (well, at least the second part of it for sure) and as I re-read it, I sounded more like a complete dick. It was really venomous, and I didn't mean it to be like that. 1,000 pardons... please forgive.
On a less serious note, I am leaving in a couple of minutes to run a 5-k called the Turkey Trot. Usually I would rather go to the dentist than run at all, but the good people at Jefferson Middle School saw fit to sign me up for something I will undoubtedly hate and will suck at. I will be sore very very soon. :(
Have a good Thanksgiving one and all!

Before that brilliant picture is lost in the flame-war over hockey, I gotta say that shit really WOWed me last night! It is a classic - can't believe you guys refrenced that pic from SA - so good. Was he cool or was it a real quick "hi how ya doin buh-bye."?
Got that game 'The Movies" so gonna become a famous machinima director someday. Maybe they have college courses for that.
Finally caught the season finale to ROME and fucking-a, what a great great great show! Wow. George RR MArtin calliber WOW at that! Spoilers: Cesar gets stabbed a shit load of times. But mans, they managed to show cesar and pompeii defeating the gauls all the way up to his stabbage in the senate in 12 shows. And it never really felt that rushed. Really highly recommended show for y'all! LIMPBIZKIT YALL!

I understand how the points/ranking system works.
What I have no grasp on (for lack of functional up to date hockey knowledge) is when I am presented with more active players for a given position than I have slots for, and should be basing my decision, in part, to start/bench a given player based on his match up against his opponent that particular night.
So, yes.. there are indeed matchups to consider. Matchups that I posess zero working knowledge on. I'm sorry I made you upset, but I think your anger/frustration is misplaced and without a legitimate foundation.

I swore I wasn't going to post on this...
but, Art... oh my God. You still don't understand the hockey league? Dude, there ARE no match ups! We are all playing against each other! We are scoring points based on the rankings in the categories!
Please, please, please read the rules that are on Yahoo! fantasy sports page. I wouldn't be so annoyed except that for two reasons: 1) I feel like Eric and I have sufficently explained this many times, and 2) YOU ARE FUCKING WINNING! If you are going to kick my ass at something, I want you to know why!

Jorn and Enron...
...have the only picture that will matter to you. Wait until you see it!
And True Dungeon sucked so bad that some of us are going to write nice, detailed, action-suggestive, positive, constructive emails to the people who run the whole thing letting them know just how lame and disappointing it was. We WANT it to be good, we really do, but there is no denying it, they just didn't try this year.
It was teh shitz.
Warmachine Fever
To aid our new obsession with Warmachine, I give you Warmth. It is a kick ass army selector program, that can export to .pdf that has damage boxes and stuff written right in! Fun to while away the hours trying to find the perfect mix of troops vs. points!

I wanna come play too =(
If for nothing else, to bear witness to the 500 point aluminum-foil army. With hats.
Off topic: I can't believe I'm kicking all of your asses in fantasy hockey and I have no frigging idea what I'm doing. Although, I did just find the "ranks" sorter.. which seems to at least give me an idea of who has been doing what lately and over the entirety of the season. But, I'm still lost on match-ups and whatnot.
Hey, good news: I just found out that I'm getting close to 100% in all my classes. Yay for straight A's.. I think I'm going to treat myself to a snow cone.
Oi, bad news: My video card crapped out on me. Thankfully, it's one of them BFG thangies that comes with a lifetime warranty. So, I guess that's sort of good news, but I'd rather not have to deal with the whole mail-it-there, mail-it-back shiz. At least I kept my ancient ti-4200 card around.. so the computer is at least up and running, just without teh powwwwah of the 6800GT.
Oi, dats my leg: I miss the troll song.
Oi, dats my team: Fucking waste of a season. We've lost three games by a SINGLE PLAY. That close to being in first place. Three plays. Fuck. Instead, we're all but mathematically eliminated.

Hello gentlemen! Enron I hear you like to bringing paints? Fantastical!
Oh yeah so anyway.
I land at orange county airport (SNA) tomorrow night at 9:35 post-meridian. I will be bearing miniatures, clothes, Nofriendo DS, and not much else! SNA!
Are you guys planning a Trader Joe's run or anything? If you are I would be much obliged if you could pick me up some ham or turkey or some shit, and some bread, and some cheese, and maybe some oranges, and maybe some sody pop? Maybe mustard could be in effect? And any random snacks that you think I might like? From TJs I really like chips, also salsa! And the white cheddar popcorn! And fuck it, some two-buck Chuck for when Myke rebuffs my advances and the nights feel cold!
SNA!

Elzar the Gozarian
DaveDefeat is MIA at the moment. I left a message on his VM and hopefully he will give me a heads up on his situation.
I come in tonight to LA. I will be ready whenever to go down south on Thursday. I am not sure if I will need a ride, I will find out what the truck Dave is doing.
Ry: Did you actually grill filet on the Foreman? Man that would be some, "smooth white trash, thinkin' he's living the high life". Miller baby. Come visit us at the D&D tavern Fugger! You love the OC. I know you do.
Myke, Elzar, Pump, Jorn: I am bringing paints. Asshole! Sweet. I wont have primer though. We need to get a primer booth set up. Maybe under the sheets in our room.
Yes, have some.

Roll Call!
GenCon is upon us! Now is the time for the who, what, when, how, and why of the con weekend.
This is what I know:
Me: Probably leaving mid-day on thursday with Mike and Denis in tow. Though that might change based on when Enron and Jorn arrive in town.
Denis: Riding with me midday thursday.
Mike: Riding with me midday thursday, unless we need another driver with some trunk space for Jorn and Enron, and then Mike may need to drive too.
Enron: Don't know when you are coming to town. Need a ride? Is DaveDefeat coming too?
Jorn: I think you are coming to town thursday night, right?
Ruday: coming/not coming saturday night. Maybe.
Ryan: Totally coming down on saturday with his George Foreman Filet Mignon Griller.
Jael: Viva cable sales!
Art: Go Raiders!
So as you can see, there is still some stuff to work out.

Well hey, I know painting stuff is pretty bulky to move around... but if you wanted to bring it that'd be cool with me! I'll definitely have some more work to do! It would be ESPECIALLY awesome if we primed miniatures in the bathroom, with the door closed and everybody in the room.
In other painting news, I finally got tired of fighting that shitty Citadel detail brush and chopped its shit off. I hope it enjoys its new life as a petite drybrush more than its old one. I also hope it serves as an example to its cousin, Citadel fine detail brush, who is also starting to give me some bullshit. Meanwhile, I was at Michaels (Michaels the store, not Michaels Andersons) and saw what appeared to be many fine detail brushes for less than half the cost of a Citadel brush. Corporate megalopoly wins again!
While I'm a-bloggin', do any of you guys want to buy my Gameboy Advance SP? It's in a stunning red color and is in great shape! Includes charger and I'll throw in some headphones to sweeten the deal! $45 cheap!

Oops
I meant:
"http://www.theactionteam.org/blog.html"
That will work.
And I wasn't planning on bringing painting stuff to the con, but that would be pretty nerdy goodness, and it would make Enron paint his entire army before the con ends cause he would have no excuse to do otherwise. No eating, sleeping, or gaming for Enron! Paint now! Asshole!

Well, that link didn't work for me, but if I search for blog under the google on the phone, I can get to a workable blogger.com. From there, sign in, get to the blog page, then 'view blog" and see AT with pics 'n all! Pretty cool! Haven't figured out how to bookmark a page yet (other than on the tmobile site.)
Yeah, my deal went somethin like, here's 100 cash and there, i've got a new phone and 100 credit to my account. ((think they can give X amount $$$ for a "referal cred" etc...)
So was shady goodness!
Yeah, will bring stuff to the con - not sure when/how often I can visit you guys. Work work work /cry!

Rudy, point your phone browser to "www.theactionteam.org/blog.html". Most phones have problems displaying IFRAMES (which I use for some reason), so rather than dealing with the frame, and the whole page, just link directly to the blog frame. Try it! You'll like it!
BTW I wanna check yer phone out, I was thinking about picking one of those up. And all the better if you know someone that might know of some that fell off the back of a truck *nudge, nudge* *wink, wink*
Also, I wanna pick up one of your CD's at the con! Bring em!
I was in FL this past weekend for my dad's wedding. Florida sucks. Particularly the place we were. Richy rich, ultra-elite, old person golf cart town island. Ugh. The reception was at a house next to the Dell CEO if that means anything to you you. I felt so dirty being there, I needed a nice wirebrush and bleach bath. Oh, and flying home, the flight was 4:40minutes, and probably 4 hours of that was through turbulence.
Fuck that.
Trying to get sent some ASL starter kit #3 playtest rules and scenarios for the weekend. We'll see!

Basically, there are no cell phone games that are worth it. Even if there are one or two, I have no idea how to get them. The way to do it would be to grab the java files and install them, which you would do either by cable loading them from a PC, which is a pain in the butt, or just using your phone's browser to grab a file off a server somewhere.
But really it's not worth it. The only games I've played that are much good are some of the Gameloft ones, and Doom RPG looks good. But they cost like six bucks. I'd just buy 'em.
I bought myself a DS and so far I am hopelessly addicted to Metroid Pinball. I also bought the new Castlevania but so far I haven't even launched it yet. The thing about Pinball is that it is really hard. Just hard enough that I want to keep beating my head against it. I love it!!!
Painting tonight, I'm fired up.

MotoModders.net
Looks like you can do all kinds of cool shit like put yer own mp3s for ringers, games, skins, whatever on these phones, but the shit don't seem that easy. Will give it another looksy with a clear mind.

In response to the comment, "iii) Point out to Aaron that I was at Kubla, which was NOT two years ago.". That was M. Anders, not, Dr. Wolly Mammoth Mummy Vagina Grave Robber (sorry forgot to use your full endearment name in the previous post). You graduated to a new name remember?
I will field my 3 point one man Army thank you very much. Whitey Snakebitey will kill all y'all asses.
Bill O'Reilly of Fox News to San Francisco on election day after SF Voted to oppose military recruitment in public schools and to ban handgun ownership in the city:
"Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead," O'Reilly went on. "And if al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead."
What an Asshat
And speaking of those conservative f-nuts, this is a sorry state of affairs as reported by Dan Savage of Savage Love:
STRAIGHT RIGHTS UPDATE: As I mentioned a few months ago, a vaccine for two of the most common strains of HPV, the virus that causes genital warts, is currently moving through the federal approval process. HPV can also cause cervical cancer in women, and the cancers caused by the virus kill 4,000 American women every year. Who could possibly be against the introduction of a vaccine—one that has proven 100 percent effective in clinical tests!—that will save thousands of women’s lives every year? Those “culture of life” assfucks, that’s who.
“A new vaccine that protects against cervical cancer has set up a clash between health advocates [and] social conservatives who say immunizing teenagers could encourage sexual activity,” the Washington Post reported last week. Doctors want teenage girls to receive the vaccine as a matter of routine when they hit puberty, something the religious right opposes. “Because the vaccine protects against a sexually transmitted virus, many conservatives oppose making it mandatory, citing fears that it could send a subtle message condoning sexual activity before marriage… ‘I’ve talked to some who have said, “This is going to sabotage our abstinence message,”’ said Gene Rudd, associate executive director of the Christian Medical and Dental Associations.” (To his credit, Rudd said he would want his daughters vaccinated.)
Brilliant is all I can say. Where do they find these people?

Jesus Fuck! You both have 500-pt armies? Brilliant! Well, I will definitely be flaunting a lot of bare pewter then. That's great! Enron and I have so far only played 350 point games. Hobbiton, it's on!
Ryan it'd be great to see you again, your visits always portend a fun time at the con, or a boring one -- I forget!

Whore machine
Convention Time, Convention Time, time for fun filled dayzzzz! Looking forward to it very much and trying to clear the decks of work. Aeryk, I owe you a game or two of Whoremachine before the con so we can get the rules back into our heads.
Btw Jon - Elsore and myself have 500 point armies - both are (or will be) completely painted and ready to go. Dennis will have 500 points of aluminium foil and Enron will STILL be dithering over whether or not to get an army. Ryan's army is too cool for us to show up, but he can borrow mine if he wants to play you.
I've also got a little Con wish-list - in no particular order.
b) Reveal my secret Con Project (hope I finish it!)
w) Play lots of WarMachine
2) Play as the priest (2nd Level) in True Dungeon.
IV) Buy dice
1st) Bug Aaron until he buys a Warmachine army (and paints it) - "I'm feelin' it."
iii) Point out to Aaron that I was at Kubla, which was NOT two years ago.
z) shed the nickname Dr. Vagina (I studied ARCHAeology, not Gynaecology!)
5) Drinkies at teh pub!
-) ASL Lovin'
q) Be assigned to read the rules of a new game which we'll never play.
%) Take some NEW action team action photos

My feet hurt
Ry-Aught: You should swing by the Con. You have not made a cameo in quite some time. Two years? Your lack of faith has led the Gods of Cons to write you off as a lost soul. A choices that has you destined for a trip to Hades whilst listening to Styx's greatest hits on heavy rotation. Once an attendee, always an attendee. So let it be done.
Rude: Next weekend. Th-Su.

Yeah, I gotta finish my armies too! Do you guys all just have the box sets? I will probably bring down my Cygnar and Cryx box sets (all painted! well the warcasters aren't done and kinda suck) and maybe the unit I have for each army as well? I WOULD just bring one army, but I HAVE TO bring extra because it seems NOT EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN! Le sigh! Anyway I should be able to get the trenchers painted up and then maybe I can get my zombie fuckars painted too! I am fired up for the man-jo-bot action!
Do you SoCal guys have any terrain to bring with you?
Here's My List!
1. Play Warmachine with all members of the Action Team!
2. Buy at least one fun-looking game that will turn out to be a total bust!
3. Introduce everybody to Prankston "Pranks" Pranser, wrasslin' illusionist extraordinaire!
4. Eat lots of sandwiches (it's PoorCon again for me I'm afraid)!
5. Hopefully not still be sick!
6. Watch some TV!
7. Steal more of Enron's grody orange toothpaste!
Don't cry... better days ahead!

WoW, still can't let it go. Not much Action in a Team of one though. An expansion is coming out. Two new races, one being Blood Elves! Sweet sweet elves...
Ok, I've decided that for Warmachine I'll be exclusively using crumpled pieces of aluminum foil with festive little hats. That's me being all avant-garde and shit.
Gen Con to dos (in no particular order)
- Avoid any and all Banjo-Man Combat action
- Get mistaken for an elf
- Challenge the mother superior to a knife fight for leadership of the nun gang
- Get me some sweet sweet LARP love
- Make a True Dungeon DM cry by insisting to use Blossom in the game
- Purchase my body weight in miniatures
- Vote for Pedro
- Getting all gothy and sulking in the corner for the whole weekend

GenCon and Counting!
The time approaches!!!
Got the pre-reg "Assault Atop Castle Greyhawk" tickets (friday 2.24 -4.24pm), got my badge, and got my fire on!
This is the last weekend for everyone to finish off (or start from scratch..I'm looking at you Denis *wink*) their Warmachine fighting men and women, so get to it! I have two pikemen left, and I am finished! How does everyone else stand?
My Top 8 GenCon List of Things I Wanna Do and Play
1) Get loaded in the D&D Tavern, located conveniently enough in our very hotel!
2) Play some Old-School D&D dungeon crawling goodness.
3) Warmachine!
4) Play ASL with Enron. I don't believe I have ever played a chit game with him, though he has tried to get me to play with him for YEARS, and I was too much of a whiny bitch to do it in the past.
5) Play ASL with everyone!
6) Try to get the same room as before so we can make wall to wall rollaway beds.
7) Play more ASL, D&D and Warmachine!
8) True Dungeon!
Now, everyone else write one!

VASL
Enron, Art, and Mike (and maybe even Jon, considering he has played ASL with more than everyone!): Go here, and download VASL.
Then go here, and download the scenario setups for ASLSK.
Then go here and download all the boards for ASLSK.
Then either get your Skype up and running, or call my cell phone and tell me when you wanna play, and we can type through the program.
I got the rules, which are really not that bad, and we can get some wargamin' on over teh net! You can also save the game state at anytime so it is easy to pick up for a turn or two here and there.
Do it!
BTW: Does anyone else play the "Yeah, Bush TOTALLY died on that hit, nah, not that one, not that one, DAMN!!! Broke his neck on that one! Game" using the fine Bush Ragdoll link? Man, I have been playing it for hours it seems....
It's actually rather cathartic.
EDIT: And this again 'cause it's funny!!! (sometimes slow to preload)

That IS a sweet hat. I wish I had one for Enron to wear.
Sleep-wise, I've found that I like getting up early now. If I wake up at 7:30 on a weekend, I'm stoked because that means I have more time to enjoy my precious day off. I can't sleep in the way I used to but I just don't mind.
What I do mind is taking forever to get over being sick... man it used to take me a few days to shake off a cold. Now it's like going on a nice long vacation, a vacation of sickness. I've had this thing for a week and it keeps getting better, then worse, then worse, then better. Blagh!

Sleep
Do any of you find it harder and harder to sleep in anymore? After 6:30 this morning I just rolled around frustrated I couldn't sleep. Booo....
Keep your self entertained and relieve stress. Check out the Bush Rag Doll site.

Ohhhh shit! You're all fucked now! Meet Prankston Pranser, 1st level gnome illusionist! He'll cast Nystul's Undetectable Aura on his magical gnome cock and use it to bone yo momma on the sly! He enjoys going into the dungeon, finding treasure, fighting a monster, and boning yo momma on the sly. He wears leather armor with armor spikes added to it and when he runs out of spells, it's grapplin' time! With a 16 Constitution he's got enough stamina to last the whole fight or the whole night! His alignment is "fuck you."
Excited about this dungeon crawlin' campaign!

Man, I thought even today "Mmm.. Aaron's birthday is coming up soon" Completely failing to realize that it's November 4th already. Jesus. Happy birthday you old fahhhrt.
Eric, to be honest.. we've got a nice mortgage rate as an "owner occupied" dwelling which means that refinancing and/or selling it right this second just wouldn't be prudent. If I was still living up in Washington, I'd be buying up as many four unit complexes as I could, with the intent of consolodating into a 12-24 unit as property values continue to climb. But, so much for that idea. Heh.
It's still something I'd like to do in the future, however. Especially as the housing bubble will be crapping out in the next 4-5 years.. it'd be a very good window of opportunity to get in just before that blows out.

When Did You Turn 31?!?
I thought your birthday was in December.
Yeah, Art have you thought about selling your place in WA and moving your cash elsewhere, maybe into a du/4/8/12-plex somewhere? Or are you guys happy with the rent you are recieving and it would be too much of a pain in the keister to deal with selling the place with baby/school/job/Vegas?
Curious is all.

I am old. 31, D'oh.
O Rugs & Elzar : I suppose I didnt answer the main question did I. Mostly because I am not sure. I mean, I have learned quite a bit. Yet, I am far removed from a lot of the action so I am not sure how much I am missing. I have to imagine the worst parts are hidden from my view of the process. SO I guess at this point I would say I do not know enough. Or more to the point, I know enough now to be dangerous.
Pump: I like the cut of your Jib.

Dude.. Aaron is on a ROLL. LOL.
Property Management III
I, too, have quite a bit of experience working with property managers and whatnot through my years as a commerial insurance guy. It's a highly lucrative business, especially if you can grab some mid-range property in a growth area. Depending on how deeply you are leveraged, you can very often see positive cash flow immediately on an existing property acquisition. I, too, am looking towards such an investment for the future. Of course, with the stock market being what it is these days, and interest rates being what they are.. so is everyone else. When interest rates go back up and people get cozy with stock investments again, the real estate market won't be so cut throat or volatile.
BTW, Aaron.. you didn't answer the most important of Eric's questions, me thinks. =)
