"Emporor' Goerge Bush, back in elms rehab hatches a plot to add some protest to the CoE this year, the evil damm merchants wont supply prizes good enouph for the viewing audience to see the top racers, so we protest by loading a lorry full of 75000 pounds of hrr ammo and test our space program while the crowd yells TIMMAH

This was truly a spectacle. For a while, some of us thought you might actually land on us.

Watching X-man's BPU skip off the mountain tops was surreal. I'm not sure why he was the only one who got launched, but I'm glad itwasn't me :)

That was a good job Spank, but I am filing a formal protest because it said I missed gate 2 and I know I passed, flew thru it!!  :rolleyes:

EH??!!

All the usual players were in both the CoE events, 90% of whom can only dream about ever owning Heavy Lasers and Fire Engines!!!

What protest point am I not understanding here then?

Sorry- what point needs proving exactly?

That 1 single player has decided that he can't be bothered to play in 1 league this season, because a certain vehicle isn't offered as a prize for him to sell for $16 million!

And now another player is protesting at this by trying to blow up every other player in a CoE league race!

I am nearly done with all this greed, politics, and lunacy in a computer game.

1. Necro already tried this last season but couldnt seem to light his fuel tanker on fire (he forgot the matches I guess) so I just thought it was a copy-cat "I can do it better" attempt. Although it was funny to watch. Why didnt my car fly away? I was only about 10m farthur away than X was and i didnt even jiggle.

2. Greed... Odd I hear an echo... Someone else recently harped on this (not me, though I feel the same). Bravo Brun. The god have their toys and 15 copies of them, while we play with the usual "lesser peoples" equipment and have the same fun. Or at least Im having fun.

3. What IS the prize anyway? I CoE because I like CoE. Not for the prize. I look at the prize if I am near the end of the season and in positon to get one. because sometimes (often times actually) the 2nd place prize is better and I have to try to manipulate my scoring to lose just enough to get the prize I want. Ought to be a prizes loot screen. put the top 3 prizes in and let 1st pick, then 2nd and then 3rd. Maybe I want to place 1st but get that 3rd place item... Wait where have I heard "Prize Loot screen" Before

...Oh, yeah. SCAV that needs fixed and is being ignored without even a "Im not interested in fixing it" message to make us hush up for 3 months or so.

SAM look at our scav thread if you have time please? Many of us are either playing it or interested in playing it and the issues making it stupid are keeping some "want to" members from trying it. And keeping the rest of us "are" players from enjoying it to the extent that we could. (like how scouts dont gain scout skill from scouting... and gain skill only from town to town travels... but there is no reason for town to town travels due to the non-existance of user defined courier missions)

4. I forgot what the topic was.

oh yeah BOOM! that was amusing. lets do it again in GW. I like breaking big expensive toys or watching them get broke. (Unless they are mine. but most of my toys arent big or expensive)

Darth - you were robbed.  I (unintentionally) did the same thing with pistol ammo and had a greater area of effect.  220786 - turn 38+

i wasnt really blowing people up because of a real protestr, i dont care what some choose to do, i just thought it funny to blow someone up and was messing with lord foul in process, if you want those toys go earn them yerself like others before habve done, if you need help then come to coe with a plan off attack, and watch out for more exploding lorrys.

Still going on about that stupid Squad Car Brun??? seriously get over it, either save up your own 16 million, or try to earn one in COE. I for one am not available enough on Sundays to even consider a run in COE, so I bought one on the market. Spendy, yes and its the only one I will ever purchase, even if it is destroyed. Have fun out there!

We need an event where everyone has lorrys full of ammo armed with HFTs.  That would be some mayhem.

(OOC)

First this is a roleplaying area, next I was roleplaying my main driver Tim to say he was not going to race this season due to how weak the prize was compared to previous seasons. Darth decided to have fun with my characters comments and convert what he did with the lorry into a roleplaying protest about what my character said. It's not a real protest, it's role play.

In real life I've got a lot of stuff to do and decided to skip this season of CoE. But the be honest, the prize in this seasons CoE 3 is the weakest it's been since inception. That does not mean I'm trying to be greedy or have 15 of them, it was simply stating a fact in a roleplaying fashion to fit my main driving character Tim.

See you out there...

Thanks, LF... I was just reading through this trying to figure out how to slice and dice it to get the non-RP bits into an appropriate venue. Hopefully this little reminder will get things back into a ROLEPLAYING context.

The Bishop Albert Potter, rarely seen outside of the Chrome Religion Compound in Gateway, walks into Joe's, escorted by 15 of his first-string Confessors.

"Know this, all ye present; If the so-called "Lord" Foul believes himself to be above the common man, and cannot devote his precious time to suffering and pain, as required by the doctrine of the Chrome Religion, then let him remain as he is."

"We shall gladly claim what would be rightfully his, and consider it a most generous donation to The Church."

I was looking at those pics from 2013 CoE and 3 things crossed my mind (Other than a hunk of shrapnel)

(1) I see chat messages from both myself and my brother but I can’t remember which of those cars was mine or his...
(2) 2013? God how long have I been playing this game?
(3) some things... like Brun’s post about politics and greed in the game... never changed. The only thing that changes is who is the frustrated new player, and who is being accused of being a fat cat.

Oh, and (4) I need to get back into CoE

Back
