Ah yes, that old saying... the water is polluted that the only safe way to drink was beer.

How much further back in time can the Roys go?

Depends, you busy?

Sometime about a year ago the "meet local women" spam in my spam folder changed to "meet senior women".
At least their research is on point.

fitzroybowiedog , how much longer is that InGen sponsorship?

Looks like it was Mobbs. That guy's an idiot. Thanks Fryer Tuck !

There's still a lot more lore where that came from.

When you come back for the away leg, we'll get the freshest and finest seafood ready for ya.

But I thought Senior Women was a Roys delight?

 

[Mobbs]

Okay so Fryer Tuck ... this indoor stadium thing. Is it something you as a team like, or should we put it down as fake news from 2011? Personally I still see these as suburban grounds and would like to keep some level of realism about it, but it's the call of the clubs, not mine. We already have teams with underground stadiums, and a stadiums "in the sky", which sound pretty stupid. An indoor stadium is not out of the question, but can it really be sustainable to have this in a city that's about the size of, say ... Geelong? For a domestic team? And in a mansion?

Get back to me with your call before I start development. The ground is currently just a ... ground :

And yeah the soil cuts off just behind it. This is all a veneer of dirt placed over ocean. I had built it much further, a few hundred blocks. But the crash ruined it.

You know you’ve really kicked the bucket when you start getting those ads on Facebook

I'd take senior women ads any day of the week, beats "hot corpses in your area await"

The way I see it, the House of Gumby makes sense when you consider that the ground was originally indoors, hence the House of Gumby. The Gumby patriarch was a Brain Specialist of much renown and was ahead of his time.

Of course things started to change when... limitations started to kick in. That's why a new idenity was sorted out as the Gumbanian people seeked out the fresh sea breeze and the wonderful views.

Dr Gumby threatened us. If the team moved to a larger outdoor venue, then the team couldn't call themselves the Gumbies. The leaders then decided to cut ties and took up the latest phenomenon that was sweeping the city of Sweet: Werewolf. Hence the Wolves were born.

Of course, seasons later, with the team lacking the same oomph from seasons past, and with fans more interested on a day out then getting behind the team, captain Noobz0r wanted to make peace with the new Gumby Patriarch, Professor Gumby.

As such, the old House of Gumby became an indoor training ground, equipped with state of the art training equipment.

The new "House of Gumby" (Or the Gumby Garden, I suppose) has its "main stand" over looking the sea side, making for one of the more scenic views in Sweet, especially with games played in the late afternoon (unfortunately, the sun is in the wrong direction, so there has been calls for sun rise games in Gumbania).

So to sum it up, I expect our new home ground to put emphasis on the seaside. Like what you have, though maybe with rhe wing facing the water. (Hey, if you want to keep ot that way, I can create some lore there.)

That old saying still applies today, especially where I live.

Best post in 4 weeks. The waterside near the ground is an anomaly ... that should be more terrain, and I'll eventually do that. But the other side of the road does face onto the ocean. So the existing ground can be converted to an indoor training venue (perhaps attached to a mansion), and a new ground can be built over the road.

Enlightening to learn about the reason for the temporary nickname change, too!

Cheers.

Yeah, it totally can. The Gumbies just had that extra bit about them rhat made them revolutionaries of their time, and it was reflected. At the very least, we are using the old ground to train and pay our respects to our heritage.

Glad to be of assistance. If you need anything else covered, do let me know!

So glad this is coming back! I hope the others have their material just as well covered! Can't wait!

 

[fitzroybowiedog]

Heh, small fry.

Which show are you going to star in?

I don't star. I run them.

Hmm. Sounds legit! What are your bank account details?

 

[Jivlain]

Unfortunately the Nigerarian authorities are cruelly blocking access to all my family's bank accounts, to secure release so we can get you your Waterproof Tactical Flashlight please send a cheque for CHF4000 so we can unfreeze the Swiss accounts and get you your tactical fleshlight. Once the accounts are cleared we will be happy to reimburse you the payment plus 10% of the account balance and you get to keep the device.
