SpacingOutMan Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Well that was anti-climatic. Nice announcement. There were lulz, question marks, and notably "what is going on here?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeternalis Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 [quote name='Bryne Farrior' date='18 March 2010 - 03:43 AM' timestamp='1268905395' post='2229161'] Silly me, expecting people to mean what they say. But actually, no amount of sarcasm saves your prior statement from making no sense. But enjoy your money..? [/quote] no, no, bryne! You see, he is LOSING money because of you.

Titus Pullo Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 [quote name='General Argent Doom' date='18 March 2010 - 04:40 AM' timestamp='1268901607' post='2229145'] Have I ever heard of a private message being used for a public announcement? Erm... no actually, I haven't :/ Perhaps you don't understand it because it has been delivered on a level above your intellect, ironic coming from an alliance called [b]The Brain[/b], wouldn't you say? Anyway, I wholeheartedly approve of this announcement and foresee the outcome will be revolutionary for [b]the Brain[/b] and I await an intelligent reply, so I'll be back in a week or so. [/quote] Next time you want to be condescending on the OWF, try to at least be consistent with the capitalization of your alliance's name. Then, you can start working on your composition.

Homura Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 [quote name='General Argent Doom' date='18 March 2010 - 09:40 AM' timestamp='1268901607' post='2229145'] Perhaps you don't understand it because it has been delivered on a level above your intellect, ironic coming from an alliance called The Brain, wouldn't you say? [/quote] No, it's clearly incoherent. You see, when most people make an announcement, they explain what has happened and what the outcome is. This is a collection of largely out of context chat snippets intermingled with directionless commentary and requests towards a specific individual to do something not clearly defined. Obviously a work of genius. And when I say genius, I mean somebody who didn't think this through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Enema Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 It really does make sense if you have a glimmering of the backstory. I don't know all that went on, but knowing Freelancer I'm sure there is someone out there breathing a sigh of relief that he's finally, for the 19393th time, deciding to give it up.

General Argent Doom Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 [quote name='Titus Pullo' date='19 March 2010 - 03:23 AM' timestamp='1268968984' post='2229894'] Next time you want to be condescending on the OWF, try to at least be consistent with the capitalization of your alliance's name. Then, you can start working on your composition. [/quote] First off, I don't consider my statement to be condescending, I was merely pointing out that if anyone does not understand the nature of this announcement, perhaps they should say nothing, find out what it means or ask what it means. What can I say? I don't suffer fools or sugar coat my words. Now seriously, you honestly decided to base your whole "composed" reply on my misuse of a capital T? What can I say, I type, I post. I don't sit for 5 minutes spell checking and going through the grammar with a fine tooth comb, just so I don't get corrected by someone who does because they can't think of anything else to say, that's just... you? Anyway, this announcement has a purpose that does not involve debate of this nature, plus I obviously wouldn't want to get in an argument with you judging by your signature quotes. And yes, yes that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very funny annoucment. I feel i must decline your offer as fun as it would be to see the results if i accepted. If Freelancer is really quiting this time [i]i'm sure he will still be with us in spirt.[/i][/quote] It's been an interesting time, the [URL=http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showuser=768]astrocytoma brain tumor[/URL] was telling tales of prophesy, when a turn for the worst and manic behavior stated appearing. Words such as CDC and [i]mandatory[/i] inoculations all of a sudden came spewing, last we've heard the best physicians & psychiatrists have been flown in from all over the globe, ( spared no expense ) to treat our tumor.

I read once Nostradamus suffered a similar affliction before his demise, hopefully the medical advancements we’ve gained over the ages can cure him, what fun would this place be without him trying to look up your skirt?
