the wompus Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 [IMG]http://images.wikia.com/cybernations/images/c/cf/NewOPWarFlag.png[/IMG] [size="5"]It's time for OP to war again. A lot of potential targets were taken out of play through recent wars. Additionally, OP was obviously not chosen from the target pool when recent wars were declared. [/size] [IMG]http://findingapproval.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/scared-old-man.jpg[/IMG][size="5"](I would probably fear us as well if I were in other's shoes, so it's ok).[/size] [size="5"]Anyway, sometimes in this game choosing targets is not a simple process. In this instance you could even say 'we're in a pickle'. I'm always fascinated when phrases like that come up - I find myself looking things up all the time. (I've used them in DoW's in the past as well).[/size] [size="4"][QUOTE]Origin The earliest pickles were spicy sauces made to accompany meat dishes. Later, in the 16th century, the name pickle was also given to a mixture of spiced, salted vinegar that was used as a preservative. The word comes from the Dutch or Low German pekel, with the meaning of 'something piquant'. Later still, in the 17th century, the vegetables that were preserved, for example cucumbers and gherkins, also came to be called pickles. The 'in trouble' meaning of 'in a pickle' was an allusion to being as disoriented and mixed up as the stewed vegetables that made up pickles.[/QUOTE][/size] [IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-veCv4gDQ4A/TNITrj4sH9I/AAAAAAAAAAQ/Id0vcGAbDEo/s1600-R/pickle.jpg[/IMG] [size="5"]Our targets tonight were chosen at least to some degree by 'process of elimination'. According to wiki-pedia:[/size] [size="4"][QUOTE]Process of elimination is a method to identify an entity of interest among several ones by excluding all other entities.[/QUOTE][/size] [size="5"]More interestingly, according the the Urban Dictionary (an undisputedly fascinating place to find DoW fodder):[/size] [size="4"][QUOTE]Process of elimination: the sequence in which you remove your lover's clothes one piece at a time [/QUOTE][/size] [size="5"]That Urban Dictionary never ceases to amaze me! We would very much be using the first definition for our purposes. We currently have the highest ANS in the game - using that standard, I suppose there is no better target than the #2 highest ANS, the Flying Kiwis. But they needed some help - someone with lots of nukes - nukes that need to be used. Looking around, Hellas sure seems to have a lot of them. We want to see them use that 'launch button'![/size] [size="6"][color="#0000FF"]ORDO PARADOXIA[/color] hereby DECLARES WAR on [color="#FF0000"]The FLYING KIWIS[/color] and [color="#00BFFF"]HELLAS[/color].[/size] [size="5"]Should anyone care to 'cry' about this, here is a crying towel. No need to return it clean. We will wash it after you are done with it so it is ready for the next OP war.[/size] [IMG]http://www.exclusivelymahjongg.com/FINGTOW2.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
