AE Kangaroo Court

[terje439]

Guess I will have to nominate....Myself [X(]
January -42, spot a Japanese CVL with some DDs SE of PH thinking it is one of two;
a trap or a raider that got too close to my searchplanes. Deciding that Nah, that is no trap so I sent out two US CVs to sink the raider. Did ofc run into KB.
June -42, spot a Jap CVL with some DDs between Colombo and Diego Garcia, thinking it is one of two;
a trap or a raider that got too close to my searchplanes. Deciding that Nah, that is no trap, so sent out all Brit flattops to sink the raider and ran into...Yup you guessed it, the KB.

Needless to say, I am somewhat short of Naval aerial power...

I don't know how blind, misguided, ignorant, overburdened or -plainforwardedly spoken- mentally retarded one can be called, but I (in my first ever GC and I have reached mid-April) sincerely managed to miss, to not notice, to simply fade out the now infamous "Show ships due upgrade" button when searching after those vessels in the countless ports of my vast Empire.......
Arrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!

Someone I knew routed the entire 4th IJA Inf Division, all of its transports, 6 DD, and 2 CA to Clark field before Bataan fell. One company of that division somehow managed to float on the burning wreckage of one barely floating AP back to Iba.

And he learned.....always check the routing of your forces to make sure you don't parade them in front of CD guns and mine fields.

[Arigoth]

That same person also learned to not always believe your pilots when they report carrier sinkings. Hold the medal ceremonies for a bit and make sure that those carriers stay sunk and don't surface somewhere you are not expecting them.

I just lost a replenishment CVE when the carriers it was to support left for Pearl and the replenishment task force continued to the meeting location {Sending them to a hex instead of using the meet task force routing}. 

[crsutton]

A person that I have a "passing" knowledge of once sent a critical reinforcement unit to a critical location on the fastest APs he could find. Except that those "fast" APs were way too large to unload in the critical destination hex and the package never got delivered.

Fresh off the presses for this one guys. I just told my GFU that AE was more important than her needing to get on facebook. I know its not a game playing mistake but glad she had to go to work.

Hope you have a comfortable couch.....

Don't have it yet it comes tom we just bought the house, and i just bought her patio furniture that she wanted as a peace offering. So far she hasn't said much about me playing it as long as i spend time with her also. I guess a written contract that i can play atleast an hour aday of ae is out of the question now.

My biggest 'error" is sending a very crippled ship to a far port, and then fogetting it is there, allowing it to sink in the harbor!!!

(Sure wish we could ressurect ships from shallow sinkings, like in real life!)

The Forum Community has yet to appoint a court and prosecutor, so in the meantime we must rely on Forum members to report abuses and violations whenever and wherever encountered.  To this point, most such reports have been self-made, but the time has come to vigilantly police the sanctity of the forum.

With this in mind, I would like to report a transgression by GreyJoy, who in his AAR today posted this:  "FWIW i remain fixed on the typical beauty from the 70s...thin, blonde and naturally hairy[8D]"

I've never heard a man exlaim a preference for "naturally hairy" women, so I think GreyJoy is in breach of universally recognized taste in the fairer sex.

In Cap Mandrakes AAR, I guess a scrotum is now a unit of measurement...hopefully I didn't read that wrong...[:D]

[Canoerebel]

Now that you mention it, CapMandrake is probably the chief candidate to remain on perpetual probation before the AE Kangaroo Court.  That guy is always skating on the edge....

P.S. Please don't provide more evidence in substantiation of your "unit of measurement" charge against Cap.

[jeffk3510]

I could read his stuff all day.  He is hilarious.

[jeffk3510]

I dont recall that it was him.  He asked if a scrote was a good or bad thing to be called... and then someone mentioned they found it rather hilarious ordering a scrotum of nuts at a bar....

[Canoerebel]

Please, somebody appoint an offical Kangaroo Court and prosecutor quickly!  We have a major outbreak of violations occuring in GreyJoy's AAR at this moment....my eyes!  My eyes!

[GreyJoy]

Oh com'on Your Honour! That cannot be persecuted!...it's just a matter of taste....somebody likes it hot, somebody cold, somebody likes it bald, somebody ....[:D]

I do love however the "scrotum" as a unit of measurement[:)]!!!!

[witpqs]

There might be someone who, in early '42, caught the three IJN CVLs and CVE up in the Aleutians and bushwhacked them good with four USN fleet carriers. Sinking three CVLs was good, but if the fourth USN carrier hadn't had all its air groups on training, maybe the IJN CVE would've been bagged too. At least that's the rumor (which I deny ever having heard or started). If it happened - and I say if - he never mentioned it to his opponent or put it in his AAR, so you can't prove a dang thing!

"You guys play with your pants on? "

Clear Kangaroo Court violation by John Dillworth in reply to comment in another thread that "AE is the most fun you can have with your pants on."

This was brought to my attention when I noticed a referee signaling "illegal use of hands."
