Post by: Guest on 2002-08-22T14:53:03-05:00 (Thursday)
I bought the games just like you told me. Now just tell me what to do with it. Who should I give it to. BTW the price was $43 bucks!

Email the treasurer and set up a time to make the transfer sometime next week.  Thanks again for picking those up for us.  I can't wait to put them to use.

How do you get 20 copies of Quake III for $40? :-?  Or is that a question that you would rather not answer.

It's just forty dollars and a right kidney.  The left kidney will get you Duke Nukem instead, and we didn't want that.

Actually we had some excellent shoppers looking out for CAOS.  Now we should be able to have some inexpensive legal LAN gaming.

New for you or new for CAOS?

Lately, CAOS has been striving to keep our events as legal as we possibly can.  Sometimes this limits what we can do.  The last thing we need as an organization is to get in trouble with the University or worse, with the copyright police.

I know, I know. It just there people out there that have illegal copies of Q3A. I don't. I paid around $50 for my copy when it first came out. I played Q3A on the with a bunch of ppl, and I know that most of them do not have legal copies, so 20 legal copies for a singul lan game is something that I have not seen here at SIUE. That's what I was refering to.

Hmm...  I think i'm going to completely avoid getting involved in this thread.   :-D  Anyway, it's cool you were able to get so many copies at a cheap price like that.  Bravo.

I don't want to make anyone mad or discourage anyone from making posts in the forum.  I just thought I saw a little irony and pointed it out.

Okay, any more abuse and I will lock this thread. There will be no name caling in these forums. At least not on my watch. No having outlawed name calling, threads will be locked when there is name calling. So threads will be a safe place, since there will be no name calling. People that say something on purpose to make someone mad, like name calling, is called a "Troll". I looked that up on the offical internet definition site. Since I looked it up, I know that it is in fact a "Troll". Since name calling is a part of "Trolling", there will be no "Trolling" on these forums, either. Now that "Trolling" is outlawed, all threads that contain "Trolls" will be warned, then lock if it continues.

What movie did I base that "repeating" on?

Oh, I certainly didn't mind being called a "chicken"- especially from "Anonymous".  The massive doses or irony in that post actually kinda made my day.  :)

Oh, and I'm bad at movie quotes.

You're right. I just want to say that message, and I figured I'd add a little humor to it.

BTW, repeating is based on the movie "Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail". The repeating is from the part explaining how to use the "Holy Handgrenade". I couldn't remember how it was done, but I think I captured the essence of it.

Hmmm. Now all I need to do is work on my spelling.  :-)

Title: munkies....

Yer munkies! , All of ya!

Edit : Whoops...this was supposed to be a response to the Quake 3 copies thread  :-D
Title: Re:
Post by: Ryan Lintker on 2002-08-30T13:57:48-05:00 (Friday)
Now I thought that there was going to be no more name calling on this board. :-D  (I'm just giving "Admin" a hard time here.)

Of course maybe it isn't name calling seeing as I don't know what munkies are.  Can anybody enlighten me?

Post by: Michael Kennedy on 2002-09-02T01:55:14-05:00 (Monday)
Man, I've been called a "chicken" and a "munkie" and my only posts had to do with staying out of the threads that discussed "illegal software".  Which I appear to suck at, BTW...

Pop Quiz: Anyone know where the icon for this post comes from?  I believe I recognize it and I'm wondering if anyone else does...   :-D
