Mk *GZG ECC XI 2008 Quote Board * *Friday Evening* Martin Connell: You don't want your miniatures to have "red eye" Unknown replier: But what if you're a Cylon? Keith: If they show up with a ship's cutter, you show up with a knifeâ¦That's the Tanoose way. Carl Shue: Or you remain the cabin boy nicknamed "Sue" Vince: Are you just doing drive-bys? Ken W: I came, I shot, there's no one left! Kevin Chase: We make purple look good. Scott: You see a gigantic tongue come out of the p-torp muzzle and go "phhhhtt!" Indy: Mike, give me your memory stick Mike Hudak: (reaches in pocket and fiddles a bit) â¦nope, that ain't gonna help you. Vince: Firing at Ken's cruiser. I'm firing at the big Wang! Scott: Hey! I have to be seen in this ship! Scott Kern: (after doing 1 pt with a p-torp) I guess that must be one of those ACME p-torps Keith F: He's not just a truck driver, HE'S A TEAMSTER! John Lerchey: Is he in range of your beam-2s? Tim: What beam-2s? Tomb: A 4? Ineffective fire! Your tires are spinning too fast to hit as you flee. *Saturday AM* WWSMD? (What Would Stuart Murray Do?) (on buttons seen at the con) Unknown: (while holding a Borg cube ship) â¦this needs some numbers on its sides Mark Kinsey: Big man! You beat a zombie on an initiative roll! Ron L: (rolls dice) Do I explode? Stuart: Noâ¦but that's not good. Unknown: You don't need to lean out of your car to light your cigarette Carl: (pointing at fighters) What's your all speeds? Vince: We are all 18, and barely legal! Indy: (to Jerry Acord and Mark Kinsey, who were closely examining the minis contest entries) Hey! Hey! Hey! You can't point at them! Jerry: Can we lick them? Indy: (pause) â¦Yes (and walks away, disturbed) Noam: I taught my son everything he knows Scott: Then what did you learn? Noam: To stay out of his way Steve B: You're all running from "Flaming Groovies" Stuart M: It's the flaming part I'm worried about *Saturday Afternoon/Evening* Carl S: Do I get raking fire if my steam tank cannon fires down the length of the Martian sky skiff? Tom Ball: We got 6 impulses done while you were in the bath and couldn't explain all the options to us. Stuart M: A claymore and flamethrowers?? Ken W: Marc, that was twisted. Marc G: Dude, I wrote rules for Battletech. I'm *expected* to be twisted! Steve B: So the gatling gun makes a major penetration of the Martian walker standing over the Highlanders. It's a catastrophic explosion, and a burning ring of debris rains down on the Highlanders and hitting the Martian flying mantis. It kills 3 and wounds 2 Highlanders. Tim P: So I can assume the Martian crew is dead. Steve: Well, yes. John Lerchey: My job is to misquote Noam (Phalon player): 3 more against the battlecruiser Kevin C (ESU battlecruiser commander): Which one? Noam: The usual Kevin: Ahh. Sport amongst you people, isn't it? Eddie: You didn't KILL it. You illuminated the scraps John: Are we seeing a threshold check? Eddie: No, you went straight to vaporize. Kevin C: We're sure the Phalons will recognize [the ESU] as the superior fleet because we have more consonants. Whereas [the NAC} surely have at least one Hawai'ian on board. Ron: (as Noam performs fleet maneuvers) I think he's got the NAC of it! Vince: What's he gonna shoot? He's gonna shoot his mouth off! John L: If he could shoot his mouth off we wouldn't have to listen to him anymore. Eddie: You realize that if you mount your class-2s, your gunner's gonna refuse to fire it⦠Eddie: (upon scoring 1 pt against a relatively undamaged NSL ship) Eat that, armor boy! Eddie: He pops like an overcooked chicken pot pie! Eddie: I will now knock the chrome off your bumper (rolls, misses) No, I will NOT knock the chrome off your bumper! Ed: My cruiser just went from "pristine" to "vapor cloud" Scott Bishop: The jump drive spins up Kevin Chase: whirrrRRR. All hamsters to your stations! All hamsters to your stations! Carl Shue (as Yerin rolls on the floor laughing): You know it's a great gaming convention â the women are rolling on the floor! *Sunday AM* Vince: Takeâ¦(rolls 6 dice)â¦absolutely nothing, and like it! Mike H: I've taken quite a bit from a grazer up my ass. Steve Barosi: New turn order: Plot, lay down threads, disentangle, move. Marc G: The enemy ship is out of command. It's venting incompetent officers. Damo: The *Kinugasa* fires everything at the *Canberra*. Steve B: You can't bear on the *Canberra*. Marc G: Not only do I have quite a lot of missiles â I have *intelligent* missiles! You know, the kind that have pilots. Indy: Is the *Canberra* on fire? Steve B: (rolls a d6) Shore 'nuff! Jerry C: I think you'd have a hard time finding anything left on that ship to burn. Kevin C: This is a great position for my fleet, other than that super guppy (pirate cruiser) that flies rings around me. Yerin: (lining up camera to shoot a spaceship mini) Move over, I want to take a picture of his back end. Ken Wang: (as the IJN flies RIGHT between 2 missile salvoes) It's good!!! Tim: Yeah, I rolledâ¦ummm⦠John L: You rolled crap. Tim: Thank you. Eddie Daub: How do pulse torpedoes work?
