DoT,

did you read the rest of the entries as well? Some interresting stuff

child of Thor · November 27, 2002, 20:11

From the sounds of it it looks like all the cutting edge space tech of choice was based on the CTP games!(Space Ladder etc)

So at least a few guys at NASA and in the scientific community were playing the game we like

Pedrunn · November 28, 2002, 00:10

I am real-life drunk now !

But I think we should join together and the programmers team to sue NASA, and with the money we could make CTP3!!!

hahaha

*Pedrunn asks Redbull more beer

Devil of Truth · November 28, 2002, 04:48

Gilgamensch, yeah, I read some of the other entries too. It’s ominous to think that the “final frontier” has become just another political gambit. I wonder if the boys at NASA remember the dinosaurs? If they try to prop up their dinosaur forever, a smaller faster, more efficient European or Japanese or Chinese or Russian or Frikfrakistani craft would send their beloved shuttle to the history books. When will they learn? Adapt or die.

Pedrunn, best idea I’ve heard. Let’s sue NASA. Apparently they have money to burn (excuse the pun). Hope for CTP3 lives again!

If anybody here had $20 million – would you sign up as a Russian space tourist?

Gilgamensch · November 28, 2002, 08:29

Sounds good for me, let's join together, sue the last penny out of them and make:

CTP III The Final Frontier

And DoT: Why no, if I would need to spend all my money on it

H Tower · November 30, 2002, 01:54

DoT, if you didn't like the poem, maybe you would care to share something interesting that would create interest in the thread, my poem certainly did that, you however haven't contribued much beyond whining

Quote:

one man at the window
one girl at the bar
saw that look of recognition
when they know just who you are
i seen you on the tv
i seen you on that show
you make the people crazy
and then you let them go

before the show we calm them
we sympathise, we care
and the hostile folk we keep apart
‘til the red light says ‘on air’
did you see our leather lovers
all tied up to the chair
did you catch those child molesters
no one else goes there

what a show, the barry williams show
what a show,
dysfunctional excess
is all it took for my success
the greater pain that they endure
the more you know the show will scored
it’s showtime

got the reputation of a surgeon
‘cos they cannot feel the cut
it looks so very simple
but it really is an art
they call our studio ‘the hospital’
making money from the sick
we let people be themselves
there is no other trick

‘my lover stole my girlfriend’
‘i keep beating up my ex’
‘i want to kill my neighbour’
‘my daughter’s selling sex’
‘my s/m lover hurt me’
‘my girl became a man’
‘i love my daughter’s rapist
‘my life’s gone down the pan’

what a show, the barry williams show
the barry williams show
dysfunctional excess
is all it took for my success
and when the punches start to fly
the ratings always read so high
it’s showtime

‘that girl has got no scruples’
not a wrinkle on her face
you would not believe the plot she conceived
so they’d let her take my place
well, no man is an island
no man is a sea
but this display of emotion
is all but drowning me

what a show, oh what a show
on my show, the barry williams show
it’s my show
what a show
dysfunctional excess
is all it took for my success

the best tv you’ve ever seen
where people say the things that they really mean
i hear my name, i hear them roar
for the one more time i take the floor
just one more barry williams show
we’re gonna take you where you want to go
it’s showtime

come on down
come on down

It's time for the Barry Williams Show!!!!

*APPLAUSE*

Actually H Tower – I did enjoy your poem...
Just looking to revive said interest in this thread...
And look...
It’s worked...
Another poem!

And in the spirit of Christmas (and whining), here’s my contribution:

T'was the night before Christmas
Old Santa was p*ssed
He cussed at the elves
And threw down his list

Miserable little brats
Ungrateful little jerks
I have a good mind
To scrap the whole works

I've busted my a**
For damn near a year
Instead of "Thanks Santa"
What do I hear?

The old lady b**ches
Cause I work late at night
The elves want more money
The reindeer all fight

Rudolph got drunk
And scr*wed all the maids
Donner is pregnant
And Vixen has AIDS

And just when I thought
That things would get better
Those a**holes from IRS
Sent me a letter

They say I owe taxes
If that ain't damn funny
Who the hell ever
Sent Santa Clause money?

And the kids these days
They all are the pits
They want the impossible
Those mean little sh*ts

I spent a whole year
Making wagons and sleds
Assembling dolls
Their arms, legs and heads

I made a ton of yo-yo's
No request for them
They want computers and robots
They think I'm IBM!

If you think that's bad
Just picture this
Try holding those brats
With their pants full of p*ss

They pull on my nose
They grab at my beard
And if I don't smile
Their moms think I'm weird

Flying through the air
Dodging the trees
Falling down chimneys
And skinning my knees

I'm quitting this job
There’s just no enjoyment
I'll sit on my fat a**
And draw unemployment

There's no Christmas this year
Now you know the reason
I found me a blonde and
I'm going south for the season

I'll laze in the sun
Into bed I'll get tucked
And those snotty nosed brats
Can all go get fu**ed

H Tower · December 3, 2002, 02:11

Old News!
The CtP2 Democracy Game is dying off, news reporters have finally hit upon a reason, nothing has happened recently and the pace of decision making has slowed to a crawl, some even say a standstill. This reporter is not sure the game will ever begin

Devil of Truth · December 3, 2002, 04:48

Analysis paralysis me thinks

. Things will probably speed up in the New Year.

I like your Yuletide Avatar H Tower.

H Tower · December 3, 2002, 11:44

i just remember early november when we thought we could begin playing in mid November, but we're still far away from starting

Pedrunn · December 3, 2002, 11:57

Not really! we have finish the article now. Just the way the game should be played is missing. The election for judge has started already. I give lees then two week to launch the game.

Gilgamensch · December 4, 2002, 02:31

That's what I hope !!!!!!!!!!

Let's also hope people will start to participate

Any participation would be good. On average our polls have about a 50% voter turnout! Can anybody think of a way to improve this?

Maybe we should include the right to free online porn for all Lumerians (only accessible AFTER voting.)

Gilgamensch · December 4, 2002, 05:21

DoT,

Not a good idea.........

I think you should read again the FAQ, this could cause some trouble...........Although doesn't sound like a bad idea

Or whe just need some showgirls on the stage.

But seriously: I hope, once we get started that people will be 'coming' back again

H Tower · December 5, 2002, 00:50

/me jumps up and down, very eager to get this game moving

Maquiladora · December 5, 2002, 00:54

If someone buys me enough drink ill get up and start dancing instead

(i love the way that little hat moves

)

H Tower · December 5, 2002, 01:44

/me orders a drink for maquiladora

Redbull! get him a Jack and Coke

Devil of Truth · December 5, 2002, 05:20

redbull, make that a double.

And Locutus should create a news item. Maybe "Maq dances for ratings!" or "The Maq attack!" or "The Maq wants you!" or "Maq-erana."

Pedrunn · December 5, 2002, 07:32

nice one DoT.

(cot rushes in and smashes the dukebox)
'I can't take the 'Hansons' anymore!', he gibbers before collapsing at the bar in a heap.

On a less theatrical note, i'd like to share this pic to honour DoT's poem(hope it works..).

This was a friend of mine in Lapland in November......sorry guys

Devil of Truth · December 5, 2002, 10:42

coT, thanks! That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen!

Pedrunn, what’s the beer like in Brazil?

Gilgamensch · December 6, 2002, 04:40

might sound like a stupid question:

I just realised there are some stats in the profiles, what do they mean????????

I haven't found anything in the faq or whatever....... anyone got a clue. I actually only foud it by mistake, when clicking on a 'wrong' link, instead I hit profile.

H Tower · December 6, 2002, 14:02

there are a bunch of threads about it in the community forum, ket me try and find them for you.
