I find it very hard to understand the reasoning behind anything you say. For this reason I'm issuing a challenge to your puny little alliance: Set me as friendly, let me portal in to your realm, and then the round after we can fight it out... We can post the results of the combat to this list... Of course I don't expect to you to accept my challenge, but at least the world will see you for the yellow-belly that you truly are...

Quite true indeed. I believe we should continue to be veritable Emily Post Pirates, though our propensity for eating the quivering hearts and brains of our victims is, admittedly, an eyebrow-raiser. We do, however, *always* try to use the correct fork, or spoon, depending on the substance in question. Now about this little "Adolf" matter: please note this was an artifact from our insectile annoyances down south of Jaca, *not* a genuine Ershwinism. I refer to established USENET rules concerning Hitlerian references in discourse, and conclude that M.A.D. has officially lost the argument. (Though it appears they did, indeed, win the skirmish. It's clearly that Awesome Fireflash Power at work). We'll correct the situation shortly. In the meantime, we Pirates gleefully welcome the various threats, insults, recriminations, and verbal castigations of our victims and victims-to-be. Let's keep it creative, though. "Stinky" just doesn't cut it ;-) -Crimson Robes. ---------------------------------------------------------- From: Richard Bulajewski <richie@harare.iafrica.com> Subject: RE: ATL2: Reports Date: Fri, 12 Jan 1996 19:01:40 +-200 >Richard, > >Don't send your request to the players' list.

Now go away, sandwich man, you bother me. >Now about this little "Adolf" matter: please note this was an artifact from >our insectile annoyances down south of Jaca, *not* a genuine Ershwinism. Ah, but it was not us, your most crimsome-ness. We always sign our handiwork. Look for the M.A.D. label in all of our communication. BTW, did you mean for Emily to approve your "insectile" comment? Which type of insect did you have in mind? >I refer to established USENET rules concerning Hitlerian references in discourse, >and conclude that M.A.D. has officially lost the argument.

You should not send unprepared boys to fight in this war - Wildstorm is going to get his just des(s?)erts. First, the N.A.A. bloodied him and now we will finish the job. >In the meantime, we Pirates gleefully welcome the various threats, insults, >recriminations, and verbal castigations of our victims and victims-to-be. >Let's keep it creative, though. "Stinky" just doesn't cut it ;-) Personally, I think that the name "Adolf" and whatever connotations it might have does not fit you guys well enough.
