Come out, come out, wherever you are and meet the young programmer,
who fell from a star.
He fell from the sky, he fell very far and Kansas, he says,
is the name of the star.
Kansas, he says, is the name of the star.
He brings you good news. Or haven't you heard?
When he fell out of Kansas
A miracle occurred.

Hi, Here is TJ finally getting NIK to understand the new airmodel.

The question is, is he is nodding agreement or is his head just loose again.

If I were King of the Forum, Not queen, not duke, not prince.
My regal robes of the forum, would be satin, not cotton, not chintz.
I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl.
With a woof and a woof and a royal growl - woof.
As I'd click my heel, all the posters would kneel.
And the WITP players bow and the fanboys kowtow.
And the critics would take wing - If I - If I - were King!
That TJ would show respect to me.
And Ron S genuflect to me.
Though my mouse would lash, I would show compash
For every underling!
If I - If I - were King!
Just King!



TJ's new landcombat routine gets an early test.

Hi, Hmmm I think I'll wander over and vist my friend Bear. I bet he has cold beer. I'll get stuck playing Steelpanthers. (He likes to take a bunch of Tigers and squash my T-34's) But my infantry always carries the day.

Hi, I used to do a lot of musical adapations for the old Art of War forum. I like D Yankees it's a good source for parody and of course Gilbert and Sullivan. South Pacific has a few good ones. (Change Dames to games)

Quite a few in the first 3 or 4 pages of AAR with Dadman. (my oldest game )

I've been playing WITP forever, and I made the very first plan
I put the ships and the land units together
I am Mogami and I make the plans

I make the plans that make the whole world scared
I make the plans of operations and special things
I make the plans that make Dadman cry
I make the plans , I make the plans

My home lies deep within Mount Fuji
And I've got my own bomb proof bunker there
Now, when I look out through my periscope
I'm planning again, even though I've done 10,000 times already.

Oh my plans makes you dance
And give you no opening to take a chance
And I sent them by email so its now your move
terror fills your heart
Well, that's a real fine place to start
It's from me it's for you
It's from you, it's for me
It's a Pacific wide mass- a-cree


--------------------------------------------------------------------


Bomb drops on CV,
And torpedo hit on BB,
Bright orange flak bursts,
when on my ac their misses,
Black shiney bomb loads,
Tied below Val wings ,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .

Cream colored Tonies,
An' mining a strait,
Doormans flagship on fire',
An' I'm feeling great,
Night attacks that fly with the moon on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .

Chinese units in hexes,
With the supply lines cut,
Sonias and Anns and Mary divebombers,
encountering no enemy CAP,
And the terror that brings,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .

When the bombs miss,
When the odds suck,
When I'm feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad . . .

Bombs....hmmm CV...
Torpedos.......BB....
La dee da, la dee da,
La dee da, da,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .

When the bombs miss,
When the odds suck,
When I'm feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And little by little my heavy heart sings . . .

And then I don't feel so bad

Where is my turn?

I want something added to your design document TJ. You have to put in a system where all Mogami's opponents get to shock him if he gets too far away from his keyboard or takes too long returning turns. You can call it the Mogami Dog-Collar feature (MDC for short). He has 3297124 PBEM's going, so it will be considered a must have feature for most of the people that would buy the new game.

None of that Crown of Glory on Saturday stuff. :p

Oh wait. He likes Spam, I'll bet he likes electric shock treatments too...

Hmmm...maybe something that triggers a visit from his ex-wife... Nah, I'll leave it up to you. That way, if it doesn't work to improve turn turnaround, I'll get to whine, bitch, moan, and complain about how little thought you gave to the design and call you incompetent, lazy, etc.

Hi, From AAR Mogami-Mr Frag

In 1941 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Horii down to mighty Singapore
We took a little sushi and we took a little rice
And we caught the bloody British in the town of Kula Lumpar

We fired our guns and the British kept a'runnin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin' (faster)
On down the Malayan coast to the Gulf of Singapore

We looked down the river and we seed the British run
And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring (retreat)
We stood and laughed till our ears began to bleed

We fired our guns and the British kept a'runnin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin' (faster)
On down the Malayan coast to the Gulf of Singapore

Old Horii said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our rifles till we looked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till we seed their faces well
Then we opened up our Ariska guns and gave 'em ..Well....we...

...fired our guns and the British kept a'runnin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin' (faster)
On down the Malayan coast to the Gulf of Singapore

Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the tanks couldn't catch 'em
On down the Malayan coast to the Gulf of Singapore

We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind

We fired our guns and the British kept a'runnin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin' (faster)
On down the Malayan coast to the Gulf of Singapore

Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the tanks couldn't catch 'em
On down the Malayan coast to the Gulf of Singapore


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From same AAR after Mr Frag bragged about exploits of Ryujo


In December of nineteen forty-one the war had just begun
The Japanese had a tubby ship that had torpedo planes
The Ryujo was the tubbeist ship that ever sailed the seas
On her deck were torpedos as big as steers and bombs as big as trees

Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Repulse
And evry British seaman, he knew and understood
They had to sink the Ryujo, the terror of the sea
Stop those torpedos as big as steers and those bombs as big as trees

We'll find that Japanese Light Carrier thats makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Ryujo 'cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Ryujo we gotta cut her down

The Repulse found the Ryujo and on that fatal night
The Ryujo started burnin' fifteen miles away
We gotta sink the Ryujo was the battle sound
And when the smoke had cleared away
The Tubby little tug boat like Ryujo had went down

For six long days and weary nights they had tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people "Put ev'ry ship a-sail"
'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Ryujo to the bottom of the sea

We'll find that Japanese Light Carrier thats makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Ryujo 'cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Ryujo we gotta cut her down
