Hey Eskie, I''m huntin'' Wabbitsees!

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Lest people forget the story, Tawakalanasisboombahstan lost the war. Remember the one I did, Mustang and Esq won albeit the world was changed a bit.

Indy - I was "hunkering down" during the events you mentioned, as neither Tawakalnistan or Mustantopia were allies of Esquilaxitavia. Surely you must appreciate the wisdom of letting more powerful foes fight between themselves before an under-rabbit comes out to pick up the pieces .

ID - Bah, you'd drink nail varnish if someone put a small paper umbrella in it!

that'll be revisionist alternative timeline stuff then. We're still here you know, no drunken "Hidden Kingdoms" (although I'm still peeeved that he has his own country in Nepal or wherever it it is) no lucre-loving bloodsuckers, no lily-livered wabbitsees; just a nice straightforward Islamic "Peoples" Republic with no funny stuff going on.

that's a very fair point by the way; where exactly was flopsy mopsy fluffy tail when it was all going on? In fact, where does he go to whenever anything is going on? anything to say in your own defence, Wabbit?

I think that my post above speaks for itself; let the strong fight the strong I say! Besides, maintaining the highest quality standards for Esquilaxitavian GB is a time-consuming job. Who will administrate the GB factories if not me? In any case, there were some... complications. Strange plagues occasionally sweep through Esquilaxitavia and lay the people low. No doubt chemical attacks from the evil ruler of Tawakalnistan.

Indeed. I was struck with a disease called "Influenza" one the day exactly before Iwas going to pledge my allegiance to The Harely One, keeping me out of the picture for some time. The attributed cause to the disease was later confirmed as a sideeffect of the chemical "Agent Orange". It seems our foe in Tawakalnasand is using Vietnam-era tech.

oh no, nothing so sophisticated; just some carrots from the 1950s infected with mixed-up-me-toe-sees, or "white death" as your leader's kith and kin refer to it.

I ran one of your leaders' relatives over on the A53 last night, made a nice bump and splat on front of Hilux. didn't need to use the DSHK .50 to finish him off, it was a clean kill.

Queried the HorseBunny:


Indy - If I remember correctly, wasn't the weak-minded Mullah of Tawakalnistan brainwashed an co-opted by the puppet forces of "Aunty"? *Shakes head* The Rabbit-God would never be party to such shenanigans!


Yes. Indeed. I'd forgotten those little "postcards" from the insane asylum. All that cheap alcohol had addled his brains and the Caribbean sun fried the rest.

Not much in the way of fun stuff could go on in a wasteland. At least the Tawakalni proscription against both men and women appearing in public without burkha is understandable. Wouldn't want outsiders to be able to see and document how dismally depressed that the population has become.

ah yes, "fun." it distracts the people from contemplating their pious obligations. The Tawakalnistan Ministry of Virtue makes sure that people concentrate their minds on what's important, not frivolous irrelevancies. The same Ministry is also tasked with making sure that outsiders don't bring their strange new ideas in to corrupt the people's harmonious contemplation of said piety. We don't want strnagers coming in with new ideas and new roads <shudder> what do local people want with new roads disrupting our local way of life?

He has a point. Those muddy dirt tracks and water-filled bomb craters add a certain amount of ambiance to Tawakalnistan. They hark back to a time when things were simpler; agricultural and barter economies, twenty lashes in town squares for minor infractions, and beggars on every street corner. Ah yes, good old Tawakalnistan! It hasn't changed much, but that's the way they like it!

You forgot the twice daily collection of corpses ... the rhythmic call:

"Bring out your dead! ...... Bring outcher dedddddd!"

Post Mon Aug 14, 2006 7:08 pm

This thing is still going?

Post Mon Aug 14, 2006 7:36 pm

Indy - Indeed. It is amazing just how many "dead" people end up being shoved in carts as a consequence of their radical ideologies in Tawakalnistan. Do you remember what happended to that guy who proposed placing flagstones on the town's streets in order to avoid overly-fatiguing carriage horses? He should have known better, poor guy. *Shakes head sorrowfully*

Wolfy - No, this hread died some time ago; this is just air escaping. *Rolls eyes*

Erm...akshly...sorry Esqui, that was me..."Hic-ssss". That diet of raw rabbit and fizzy GB's I recently aquired in the course of my dealings with the Tawaklanistanian embassy are causing a little indegstion. Shoore you'll understand. "Blurhg-sss, 'scuse-ay-moi"

ginger beer causes stomach ulcers too, it's a scientificalcullay provened factoid. it's one of the many reasons that it's forbidden in Tawakalnistan, quite apart from it's alcohol-related content denied by the Furry Long-Ears.

Post Tue Aug 15, 2006 2:06 pm


it's forbidden in Tawakalnistan
"Hic-ssss-blurgh!" No wonder your embassy sold it so cheap.

No worries, in typically blinkered fashion I do not hold our ally Tawakalnastan, its' leaders or followers responsible for selling me, how you say... "dodgy gear". I blame the Esquilaxians for allowing Tawakalnastan to capture it and thus be in a position to poison my people with it (at bargain prices).

After we all flush our systems out with some Jemeson we shall resume our mindless task of forcing the collapse of the Esquilaxian government and its' false gods...ish.
