Warspite,

Am I doing Alotta Poopo or Lago Poopo? Just need a tad refreshing here.

Alotta Poopo

WOW, Alotta Poopo is now number 5 on Google search. LOL.

[nate25]

That's good.

Maybe our game will sell billions of copies.

I'm going to research Alotta Poopo this weekend.

Time to get this game back on track.

Glad to hear it nate25. The game is now waaaaaaay behind schedule.

With the story of Alotta Poopo not being written up I could not write anymore code. That left HAL somewhat redundant and, in a fit of pique (whatever that is) he has decided to stop functioning. Despite my - and Mrs W's - best efforts, HAL simply refuses to compute the data fed into him, and is now talking of taking time out to find himself....

Perhaps if he had the story of the Lago Poopo rowers to work on he may agree to get back on line. We'll see.....

Sorry to hear this. Not sure where Parusski picked Hal up, but I've heard a lot of that model that went on deep-space runs were sold as surplus later, and were sometimes erratic (superiority complexes, depression, etc.).

It is already being much discussed, as Ambrose wrote just yesterday "The game is huge, it is beyond the imagination of mere mortals(and game companies). G7YBPW will surpass everything ever attempted in gaming history, or even human history. As the world's foremost person, I predict G7YBPW will sale somewhere between 2 and 3 billion copies, even at the rumored price of $299.99(which is in line with most Matrix Games)."

[nate25]

299.99 US is a bargain, really.

Let's hope Ambrose wasn't riding the wave of a BPB high and reverses himself later, with no recollection of what he wrote.

He's right though; G7YPBW is simply the best game ever.

nate25 please see post 591. The battle goes by different names in different countries. Lago Poopo is, as you know, where the main fighting took place (you will recall Basillos where the entire townsfolk were massacred thanks to the incompetence of your great
great grandad). But the fighting spread further south, as far as the village of Alota (where the Peruvian 4th Mechanised Armoured Corps fought a set-piece rearguard action against the might of the Brazilian Women's Institute who chased the Peruvians all the way back to the southern shore of the lake; hence the Peruvians know
the battle as Alota Poopo.

Will there be an optional rule to allow for not-having-screwdrivers-to-open-the-spare-ammunition-boxes?

[nate25]

I believe that depends on who made the ammo, but Warspite will have to say for sure.

I advocated just such a rule also, so let's hope warsh*t1 does the right thing.

[nate25]

Let's please keep this forum on point, which is G7YBPW. [8|]

Don't you have your own forum to play on? [>:]

Warspite1 (shakes head and chuckles to himself)

Zorch, Zorch, Zorch [:-]. The ammo boxes used by all sides during the G7YPBW were not screwed down. The metal boxes were sealed at the Acme Ammo factory and opened by the troops using giant tin-opener type devices.

[parusski]

Acme Ammo factory and opened by the troops using giant tin-opener type devices.

But you fail to understand that we need rules(RULES!) concerning what to do if troops are without "giant tin-openers".

[Zorch]

Whoa! You mean Wil E. Coyote was duped by Acme Mfg Co. into buying screwdrivers?

[nate25]

Paddington attached a pot-metal prying tool to all 6 sides of their crates.

I wonder why so little of their ammo was used. . .

Go figure.

[nate25]

I have go figured. Er. . Figgered it out.

Paddington was having a dispute with customs at the time. Somehting about an arms embargo.

Much of the ammo sat in warehouses until it was bought by the Italians in WWII.

LOL. I really have nothing to offer that could top that stor...er, explanation.

But not as strange as we band of weird Matrix Brothers who make "interesting" games and retell "amazing" historical 'tales'!
