Dueling thread

[Musashi]

As silly as this sounds, some of us here seem to get into a lot of fights of honor. In order to keep it from cluttering up other threads... (any more!), we will do duel here from now on. :D

[The Supreme Canuck]

Ah, good! *Sharpens swords and cleans pistols*

[Humphrey]

I will challenge anyone to a pistol fight!

[Musashi]

:x

I don't know what that one means, but it looks funny!

[The Supreme Canuck]

Musashi: It means angry.

Humphrey: Maybe in the morning...

[Humphrey]

yah, tired. beddy time for me now. *yawn*.


Pistol fight rules: A time is set according to the board time. The people will show up at that time and first one to post wins.

[Musashi]

Yeah Humphrey, your spelling has begun to get even worse! (haha, this is the right thread for that cuz them are fightin words!)

[nebularain]

Well, I guess this is one way to work your way up through the BABB ranks. :roll:

[Humphrey]

:-) Post cound doesn't matter. Its whats in them and the relationship b/t people. (but at the rate i am going, i will have to think of a new name soon) :o

[The Supreme Canuck]

Musashi! Duel's on! Pistols!

[Humphrey]

I would like to reform the Duling with pistols rule. After the two dulers agree on what time to duel, the first person to post after that time wins. If it is a tie, the first person to post wins. If someone posts early, It does not coun't. Only shots after the tim e given. (the 1 min mandatory posting wait on the board can be you reloading or re aiming).

So say two people decide to shoot at 5:00 board time (and remeber about different time zones, so adjust acordingly!!!). One person shoots at 4:59 and the next at 5:00. The 5:00 wins. If both shoot at 5:00, the firts to post wins. If one shotos at 5:59, and the next at 6:00, 5:59 wins. get it?

[The Supreme Canuck]

Simple enough...

[xbck1]

Would I have to put on my fencing stuff if it was that kind of duel? That'd get really hot. ;)

[The Supreme Canuck]

Not if it's a pistol fight. Good luck with a foil or an epee if the other guy has a gun. :o

[xbck1]

Uh, um... erm. :o Really good point. 8-[

[The Supreme Canuck]

Bring Kevlar and a helmet.


:o


And a gun. You'll need a gun.

[xbck1]

A big gun. Maybe one of those guns that the army is testing tht shoots sticky foam. I'd hate to kill any of you guys.

[The Supreme Canuck]

How about one of those taser grenade launchers. Those're fun! :o

[man on the moon]

i would take a cork-pop gun :D

[The Supreme Canuck]

Too dangerous.

<Motherly voice>

You'll put out your eye!

</Motherly voice>

[man on the moon]

without the string? please mommy? please?

------*thinks about it*-------

ok. how about a nerf gun with those foam ball thingies?

[Humphrey]

Super soaker?

[The Supreme Canuck]

Soak the nerf ball with water. Would that even fire?

[xbck1]

You know, my dad once had this water gun thing that could literally make your eye pop out if it got shot with it. Needless to say, it was powerful. :D

[xbck1]

Wasn't this thread about dueling originally? What ever happened to that?

[Humphrey]

Nobody has dueled yet. We have to wait for someone to get mad at someone else.

[xbck1]

From the way things are going, I don't think that'll happen soon. Not technically a bad thing, but it could still be entertaining.

[Humphrey]

well there are always practice duels. :-)

[Musashi]

I am really bad with punctuality, so I would probably lose all my duels! :-? Besides, I can't be mad at TSC, he's a Canadian, he can't help it! :D

[Musashi]

I see that the trecherous Humphrey has betrayed me! :x Well, then pick a time and we will settle this once and for all! (I am in the PST also known as GMT -7 hours)

[Musashi]

In case I am not around, someone PM me and I'll magically show up!

[man on the moon]

i'm assuming you're talking about how he went to the canadian...i'm still here if it helps!

[Musashi]

Yes, those canadians are tricky, but they make good fighters (well, the French Canadians like Laperrier anyway!). Us Americans have to stick together. And my mom is from Michagin, so I guess I am half Michiginianderian too! :D

[man on the moon]

Us Americans have to stick together. And my mom is from Michagin, so I guess I am half Michiginianderian too!:D

Michiginianderian. how the heck do you pronounce that? never realized i was such a...yeah. interesting. funny though. and original! got to give you kudos for being original.

there's something of a civil war in Michigan over whether it's Michiganian or Michigander. this is the first time i've ever heard Michi---yeah. what you said!

on the Canadian--at first i thought he was French...that would have made it easy. :P

he aint though...tough boogers those fur tradin Canucks...

[Humphrey]

O.K. Musashi! Lets go for it! how about 12:00 midnight Easterm. it is 8:47 P.M. here for me.

[Musashi]

Ah heck, I thought I was figthing that lousy TSC, but I'll take whatever I can get I guess! :D That would be 9PM for me, OK. (I cannot gaurauntee that I'll be here, with real life and stuff. My girlfriend has been feeling neglected lately :D )

[The Supreme Canuck]

Hey if he doesn't show up, can he still get shot?

[Musashi]

Yeah, if Humprhey doesn't show up, he will still get shot! :D

[The Supreme Canuck]

Oh! No problem then, carry on! :D

[Musashi]

I bet Humphrey has been using this time to sync his clock to the BABB clock down to the millisecond, just so he can't lose. :D

[The Supreme Canuck]

Maybe you should do the same... :D

[Musashi]

I gave it my best shot....heh, "shot", get it! :D

[Musashi]

He probably set up some kind of script to post exactly at the right time. Then he probably went to a movie or something, while I am stuck here waiting to get shot at!

[The Supreme Canuck]

Where is he anyway? 3 minutes to go...

[Musashi]

Bang!

[The Supreme Canuck]

Musashi wins!!!

Hey, where's Humphrey?

[Musashi]

Maybe I did the math wrong...

[The Supreme Canuck]

Nope, it's midnight EST.

[Musashi]

Know what would be even funnier? If you and I were supposed to duel! :D

[The Supreme Canuck]

Uh-oh. Did he adjust for daylight savings? The board doesn't...

[The Supreme Canuck]

Know what would be even funnier? If you and I were supposed to duel! :D

I thought about that for a second and actually went back to read who was supposed to duel... not me! :)

O.K. Musashi! Lets go for it! how about 12:00 midnight Easterm. it is 8:47 P.M. here for me.

Well, That's a 3 hour time difference between his time and what the board says in my time.

[The Supreme Canuck]

:o What the heck... I think Humphrey doesn't have his time set correctly. Boy will he be surprised when he finally shows up and reads this thread. :D

[Musashi]

And bang again, just in case.

[The Supreme Canuck]

Every hour, on the hour? :D


Gosh, I hope he's okay...

[Musashi]

Well, I wanted to make sure he wan't just one hour off (or I wasn't), and I'm struttin around all proud, and in he comes and down I go!

[The Supreme Canuck]

:-s Huh?

[Musashi]

I might have done the math wrong or in some other way made a mistake that would have meant that I showed up to the duel 1 hour early, and then, while I was gloating, he could have showed up at the proper time and shot me dead!


Rule addendum: All duel times shall be posted in GMT.

[The Supreme Canuck]

Good idea.

Still, he was the one who said 12:00 am EST. I'm in the same timezone as him. You took your shot at 12:00 where I am. You did the math correctly. I think he just wimped out... :P

*Runs*

[Musashi]

Humphrey, just so you know, I was aimin for your shootin hand, not to kill... :D

And, now you see why you shouldn't have switched to TSC's side!

[Humphrey]

*grumble* You know just my luck?! At 10:30 tonight my apartment complex's internet went down. It just got back on!!! Arrggg.... :evil:

I found out that some moronic idiotic bumbling DumbA** who deserves a...well you gfet the idea. Well i found out that this moron had hacked the bandwith of the apatrment complex (t-3) line and he was pirating 90% of the bandwith. Well to counter this, the complex shut down the internet untill they could find him. I doubt they did. :evil:

Well, to be fair you did win. I was planing on beating you, but arrgggg.....


Just my luck!!! [grumbles and stumbles off into the kitchen]...

[Musashi]

Well, if it makes you fell any better, I was getting kinda nervous. I was sure your absence was a plot. I even suspected that TSC was going to try to get me involved posting on another topic and make me miss the duel! I would offer to have a rematch, but I'd rather be friends! :D

[Humphrey]

me too. :-) thanks for not killing me slowly.

[Pinemarten]

I don't think it is worth dying for, so I shall again (humbly), admit defeat to the almighty Glom.

[Humphrey]

Musasi!: I call upon you to duel! You said Dueling words! (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=115294#115294)

Belt fed M60 Machine Guns at ten paces!

[xbck1]

Hee hee hee hee... Can I watch? :P

[Humphrey]

sure.

[The Supreme Canuck]

Rated "M" for mature.

[Musashi]

OK, but first you should know: I love Monty Python with an unholy passion. I was joking. I am bulletproof. Well, ok, not the last one. :D

[xbck1]

M for mature, PUH!!! I've played plenty of M rated games and seen gobs of R rated movies.

Besides, I'd just turn on the TV and go to ESPN and watch the live coverage. :D

[The Supreme Canuck]

BABB: Pay Per View!

[Humphrey]

Hey, i love monty python too! (they had some really fun computer games along with the funny movies. :-))

So why are we fighting?.....OH ya you called me somthing like stupid! So lets fight!

Um 12:30 a.m. Eastern time zone board time? (I would say your time zone, but don't know it.

[xbck1]

Two words: cable descrambler. Sucka!!

[Humphrey]

oh wait you are in California, so 3 hours minus. so 9:30 for you.

[Musashi]

Ok, I'm here..

http://digilander.iol.it/ilxnucleo/Emoticon/carro.gif

[The Supreme Canuck]

Humphrey: All times in GMT!

xbck1: [-X That's illegal. I just go to someone else's house and watch it there! :D

[Musashi]

Yeah Humphrey, didn't you get the memo!

[Musashi]

Oh and BTW Musashi, congrats on bad grad! :-? And moving to page 1!

[xbck1]

You get free popcorn here. :P

[xbck1]

Well, I do at any rate...

[Musashi]

:D

[The Supreme Canuck]

5 minutes to go folks!

[Musashi]

Where you at Humprhey... waiting for just the right time? Hahahah, we finally found a way to get you to stop posting...muwaahahahahaha! :D

[Humphrey]

me too
http://plaza.ufl.edu/sandler/images/metank.jpg

[The Supreme Canuck]

10 seconds to go.

[Humphrey]

rat-a-tat-tat-tat

[Musashi]

http://digilander.iol.it/ilxnucleo/Emoticon/Fiammante.gif

zzzzzaap!

[The Supreme Canuck]

Humphrey jumped the gun! (Pun intended)

Edited to remove idiocy.

[Humphrey]

dang early. rat-a-tat-tat-tat

[Musashi]

Hahahahaha. I win again!

[Musashi]

Nice tank pic BTW! :)

Too bad it did you no good!

I have my clock set just a little slow, like 1 or 2 seconds.

[Humphrey]

=D> =D> :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Dang. All because i jumped the gun a few second early. :-(

I bow to the worthy contender.

But hey, my tank was better than yours.

[The Supreme Canuck]

Here we go again! :roll:

[Musashi]

\:D/

[Humphrey]

Here we go again! :roll:

I never give up. I am like the black knight! It is only a flesh wound. No matter how badly i am beeten,. i have no pride to demolish, so i keep on coming at you.

[Humphrey]

I wan't to duel someone! I am sure we will find a reason sometime toonight!!! ;-)

[Musashi]

Do you spell badly just to goad someone into correcting you so you can duel them? :D

[Humphrey]

;-) nope, i just am that bad. :-)







Thats it, Its Deuling time!!! :evil:

To the Dueling thread! Oh wait, we are already here, so to the rules!!

How about Bazookas at 2 paces!

[Humphrey]

http://plaza.ufl.edu/sandler/images/bazookame.jpg

[Musashi]

That's a great pic. If I ever see a bazooka up close, that's exactly what I want it to look like, not loaded!

[Humphrey]

lol! That is right before my teamate (colt) loads it with armor piercing round. :-)

You will need a teamate for your bazooka. Choose carefully. Preferably one that will load it in backwords. :P

[Musashi]

Why would Colt pick a loosing team? If we are fighting from 2 meters, then I don't think I even need to load my bazooka, one round will do quite well at blowing us all up! :D

[Humphrey]

That is the secondary effect. Nobody knows who wins. :D

So, you up to it?

[Musashi]

Ok, how about at whatever hour this is and 35 minutes ( I got 8:20 now), so in about 15 minutes? or ten if you want.

[Musashi]

Or later. :D

[Humphrey]

sorry was having dinner. :-)

how about 12:00 a.m. for me, 9:00 p.m. for you. 4 gmt.

And you have to pick a helper. :-) just naming is fine.

[Musashi]

Ok, sounds good.

Um... man on the moon I choose y....wait. Since we are all going to bite it on this one, I pick TSC. I don't want to kill MOTM, he's been nice to me! :D

[The Supreme Canuck]

Hey!

Oh well, I've had a good run. But I'll only help on the condition we use a Canadian weapon:

http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lf/English/2_0_40.asp?uSubSection=40&uSection=2

Which should we use?

Ammunition:
FFV 551 HEAT - weight 3.2kg, range 700m
FFV 502 HEDP - weight 3.3kg, range 500m
TP 552 weight 3.2kg, range 700m (this is a non explosive round used for training)

[Musashi]

The Gustav! OK! Just don't stand in the blast! (Not that it's going to matter :D )

[The Supreme Canuck]

So. Which ammo type?

[Musashi]

I don't know, you pick, you're loading! :wink:

[The Supreme Canuck]

Alright, since range doesn't matter... we'll go with the FFV 502 HEDP. It's the biggest. :D

Hey, how's this work? When do I load? 11:59 EST?

[Musashi]

Load it now!!

[The Supreme Canuck]

Loading, loading, loading............. Done! Man that's a big round! :o

[Musashi]

:D

[Humphrey]

mines loaded. hehehehe.... i'm using high explisve incendiary. mmmuuahahahaha!

[Humphrey]

[The Supreme Canuck]

[The Supreme Canuck]

I was continually refreshing the screen. About 5-7 seconds. Olé! :P

[Humphrey]

Well you loose graciously, on the other hand......I WON For once. :-)

[Musashi]

mand is it just me or does this duel smack of hidden euphamisms?

hey... wait, I ... no... that's just not right! :D

[The Supreme Canuck]

Hey! Olé's are always in threes!

[Humphrey]

Olé!!!

[The Supreme Canuck]

Much better! See that it doesn't happen again... :)

[Musashi]

Give Humphrey a break, he's dead!

[Humphrey]

Sorry, the power of winning was going to my head for a second.

I will not do it again.


Olé!!

[Humphrey]

Give Humphrey a break, he's dead!

So are you!

[Musashi]

Olé! I had a bad feeling about that duel. I knew my winning streak wouldn't last, it's statistically impossible! :D

[The Supreme Canuck]

Olé!
