Official Team Thread Roys Team Thread - Season 15 (2012)

[Broken]

I apologize for my trepidation, but from the way The Pants spoke of The Roys and the SFA altogether I assumed it was kind of like the Free Masons and I was awaiting permission to speak after some sordid hazing session.

Still poking through threads and getting the gist of it all at the moment and would be keen to join you guys simply as The Pants suggested so. If not, no worries, I tend to only hold grudges for 5-7 years at most.

Also I can't post on Wednesday mornings as I have a Tai Chi class.

Welcome Bender_, I expect to see at least one weekly reference to someone biting your shiny metal ass.

So basically it's about a bit of banter in a game day thread and keeping regular touch in your team's thread and the score is randomly created?

 

[Mobbs]

Dead on. It's a randomizes text sim, originally made for mates to sit around an old PC and scream/laugh at the screen through a haze of alcohol fumes and cigarette smoke. Now everyone sits and types stuff and feels really clever about every horrifically witless pun and 3yo-style unoriginal trashtalk put-down, filling threads with useless spam-infested rubbish with next to no reference to the original luck-driven game itself.

It's high art.

It's like coming home.

That sim is not random - it hates me.

Welcome to the nuthouse Bender

 

[Mobbs]

By the way Bender I'm the one who penned the sim which is why I'm such a grumpy bum about how it's used

You'll be happy to know I'm ridiculously computer illiterate (it took me 8 months to learn how to multiquote on BF) so I won't abuse it.

Wishing you and your family all the best Mobbs! Just saw your Facebook and that was very sad.

 

[Mobbs]

Yeah it's bloody depressing but we don't give up dude! One day we'll turn it around! Thanks

 

[Bender_]

So when will the official guernsey presentation ceremony be held?

 

[pantskyle]

Our carers will bring them to us.

 

[Bender_]

Our carers will bring them to us.

Before or after medicine o'clock?

 

[pantskyle]

After. That way we are sedated and won't complain about numbers.

 

[Mobbs]

As old people we reserve to complain about everything.

Edit: And to not make sense. "As old people we reserve the right to complain about everything."

 

[pantskyle]

lol classic Mobben.

 

[Freakie]

I'm reserved

 

[FattyLumpkin]

So when will the official guernsey presentation ceremony be held?

Jumpers still in the boot of my Morris Minor. I think killer is still in his
Will get 'em out when the season starts and not a moment before.

 

[pantskyle]

Nothing like the smell of mothballs in the morning.

 

[Broken]

Ditto, but genuine thanks.

 

[Mobbs]

to "Wonderwall" :

Hooray, it's a rainy Saturday and I'm watchin' what I came to watch.
Good grief, we're quite competitive, now we just have to lift another notch.
