View Full Version : Citizen Group: The Knights of the Round Table
Vander Dec 10, 2003, 01:22 AM Alright men, let's get seated. What's that? No seats? Not invented? Right. Let's try to gather around that table over there, then. No table? Not invented, right? Right. Anyway, let's make a circle over here then. And yes, we have invented a circle.
My fellow knights...
What's that? We're not knights? No swords, knights, or horses? Well how about chivalry and gentlemanly conduct? No, not that either? Right.... Anyway, down to business:
WHO WE ARE:
We are the knights of the Round Table: A weak reference to Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail. The idea of the group is to have as much fun in the DG as possible and make it entertaining for those lurking. This is first and foremost a game. It is designed to be an entertaining, uh, thing.
Current List of Knights:
King Arthur, the Noble (Vander)
Lord Chief Minister Rik Meleet
Lord First Knight CivGeneral
Lord Wiseman Octavian X, the-almost-not-appearing-in-this-group
Governor Bevedere, the Wise (Plexus)
Sir Lancelot, the Brewmiester (Cyc)
Sir SaaM, the Best
Sir Fier Canadien, the French
Sir Sharkey, The Penguin
Sir Peri, the Mighty
- Master of all Spam- free spam
Sir Noldodan, the Suprised
Sir Inter32, the Sporting
Sir Terman of Gnee, the Bold
Sir Bootstoos, the Ambitious
- Who bravely censored the vicious stick man of Conventry
Sir Grandmaster the Rambling
- Put in charge of Castle Anthrax
Sir Sarevok, the Scary Avatar
Sir Civinator, the random
Sir RoddyVR, the Needy
Sir America444, the Impirialist
Sir gunning1, the Curt
Former knights, whom haven't posted here enough...
Squire Majic, the Young, but Wise
Squire Gawain the who (BCLG100)
Squire Dingens, the Pink (tossi)
Squire Charon, the Meek
(I'm King cuz I make the group. Lords will be exceptional members and Sirs/Madams will be normal members. Odds are, more titles will be made about whenever I feel like it.)
First order of business:
What else floats on water?
Cyc Dec 10, 2003, 01:37 AM Aye, Sire. Sign me to your list of names. I look forward to being a Knight of the Round Table. :thumbsup: Maybe one day I can say "Look, we have the Holy Hand Grenade.."

Gravy?
Majic Dec 10, 2003, 04:40 AM really small rocks?
well Im in, always wanned to ride(?) with the Knights of the round table.
~Sir Majic, the wise
Vander Dec 10, 2003, 06:33 AM Well, we hope to ride soon, anyway. We'll see who we are and how the research goes.
Peri Dec 10, 2003, 06:34 AM Can I join too please, please, please?
Is the answer a slice of lemon?
Rik Meleet Dec 10, 2003, 08:22 AM Wha' flows on 'ater ?
I remembah in me ol' days, when Rik was jus' a Rikky, growin up neah Loch Ness in Wee Bonny Scotlan' the'e we'e some 'nimals floatin' on 'ater.
They we'e called lucks, or pucks, or ducks or f- somethins. It canna be tha's wha's floatin' on 'ater?
If tisnt I canna tink of wha' floa's on 'ater. Or tmust be those pesky bugs tha' stingya anna makes you' skin go all red and bubbly and then the Shaman comes an' drains alloya blood and you feel empty foa days an' still yoa skinnis itchin'.
Pleas' tell Sir Rik whattit is, I canna sleep thinkin' 'bout it.
Vander Dec 10, 2003, 11:39 AM Yes, ducks float. Now, if we only had whichcraft invented. Then someone could be turned into a newt....
NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS:
Best way to deal with Robin's Minstrels (Once we invent music)
Peri Dec 10, 2003, 01:28 PM Mmmmm Minstrels. I suggest we pinch them and share them amongst the poor.
Noldodan Dec 10, 2003, 02:22 PM A funny citizen's group? I've never seen one of these before... Sign me up, and give me whatever adjective you wish.
Charon Dec 10, 2003, 03:08 PM Dear lords, the answer is quite clear.
The minstrels know tunes that clearly require the knowledge of the Musical Theory. Since we don't have that tech yet it's quite obvious they've been pushing the turn button- using the .sav files to predict the future.
As we all know, we do not tolerate cheating in this DG, I say we have reason enough to ban them.
As for Ser Robin, you stand accused of knowingly hiring such criminals, and you will be dealt with severly......Ser Robin?
Ser Robin?
Oooh, could I take his place?
Inter4 Dec 10, 2003, 03:49 PM Count me in, in this odd group.
Stuck_as_a_Mac Dec 10, 2003, 03:49 PM Sir SaaM, The Singer of the Diaphragm Alot reporting to duty.
Now, where should I put these ducks and this balance? It makes a very fair cop, you know. I also have some sequins for our vests and a Clark Gabel Impersination Guide. Spam, anyone?
Peri Dec 10, 2003, 05:17 PM Can I have some spam-free spam please.
Grandmaster Dec 10, 2003, 06:03 PM My good gentlemen, let me first of all bewarn you of the fabled Castle Anthrax, home to.... a bunch of attractive young women who will never let you leave the castle, as well a Grail-Shaped Beacon which will lead you into their clutches. You have been warned; avoid the Grail-Shaped Beacon at ALL COSTS...
Unless of course you'd like to spend all eternity with some 100 blondes and brunettes between the ages of 18 and 21 + 1/2....
Count me in as...
Trumpet noise
Sir Grandmaster the Rambling
PS: And about the minstrels.... I say we let them free at the Anarcho-Syndacist Commune, where they can live in their natural habitats with the other poor folk....
Vander Dec 10, 2003, 06:52 PM Wow, I take a nap, and the size of my humble (soon to be) knighthood doubles. SWEET! Er, uh, Very good. Indeed and all that lot.
Cyc Dec 11, 2003, 12:07 PM Now that we have a good amount of Kuhnigits, I mean knights, I propose we work on getting a means of transportation. Here I see two avenues of thought.
1. we can all go on an expedition to the tropics in search of coconuts. It's the right time of the year for that...
2. we can debate the possibilities of the sparrow's (African or European) ability to transport the cocnuts to us on their normal flight patterns. In which case we might as well just stay here and wait for them. It's a good time of the year to do that also. :D
Thoughts?
Vander Dec 11, 2003, 12:12 PM Now don't get too excited here, we don't even know where Africa or Europe is, or if we live there. So I thikn our best course of action will be into the jungle. Knights, what say you?
Cyc Dec 11, 2003, 01:24 PM Very true, m'Lord. (Sir Lancelot nods slowly and respectfully)
But you're trying to bring logic into our discussion. Is that appropriate? I say we debate the possibilities of the sparrow theory until we've exhausted all possibilities of the sparrow theory and can move onto other probable posssibilities that may or may not have just as much, if not more of a chance of convincing us that we should journey in the tropics.
(A loud voice from behind..."Get on with it!")
By the way, m'Lord, where is the Jungle?
CivGeneral Dec 11, 2003, 02:20 PM Hmm, this looks like fun. I am interested. I shall be known as the "Emperor's Hand and Commander of the Jade Commandos" :D
Vander Dec 11, 2003, 03:30 PM Yes, I suppose it would be nice if our world actually existed. Lacking a world really limits our ability to do, well, anything.
OOC: Once we get a game going, I want to get an IC story going in the RPG forum. We'll go on a quest for the holy grail.:king:
Wait, there is not RPG forum....
Peri Dec 11, 2003, 03:36 PM Why don't we go on a quest for the holy forum instead.
Stuck_as_a_Mac Dec 11, 2003, 04:51 PM The Quest for For the Holy Forum
Staring, among others, Sir Will-Not-Be-Appearing-In-This-Quest.
'Twas a floaty day in the non-existant void of Fanatasomething when the Knights or Something of the Round Table set of on a glorious quest! The quest for the Holy Forum! But they must beware! For there are many perils on the way, like ducks and fair cops and Marching Oboes and, heaven forbid, Dadaism! But, no one will expect it, along with other things. Any knights that die will be just resting and there will be awards given out at the end to see who is the Upper Class Knight of the Year.
Journey onwards,
Sir SaaM the Loud
Peri Dec 11, 2003, 05:41 PM I have heard that the Holy Forum is guarded by a fierce and malevolent creature called a Moderator. The Moderator is able to change its form and appear in many different guises. Its two main weapons are delete and edit.... and ban. Its three main weapons are really cool
Stuck_as_a_Mac Dec 11, 2003, 05:44 PM Sir Peri, are there any ways to defeat the really coolmoderator, that really nice guy? If there are, all Questers must know of it!
Peri Dec 11, 2003, 05:52 PM There is a legend that there is a list of rules outside the entrance to the Holy Forum. You cannot defeat the Moderator but they say that if you abide by the rules you may pass into the forum unharmed.
Cyc Dec 11, 2003, 06:07 PM Unarmed???? Bah!!! It's just a flesh wound....
Bootstoots Dec 11, 2003, 06:35 PM Double post.
Bootstoots Dec 11, 2003, 06:35 PM I would like to join this group, and I bring you one way, in fact, the only way, to defeat those really cool guys, the moderators. It involves careful worship and praise of the Almighty Great One, Thunderfall, the leader of the moderators. :worship:
TerminalMan90 Dec 11, 2003, 11:14 PM A happening crowd of un-rule-y gentlemen, I would join you. I be knownest as
Sir Terman of Gnee
I be not on a quest for chalice or to dispatch the cool guys but to locate a shrubbery.
Vander Dec 12, 2003, 12:49 AM A shrubbery, eh? Perchance we've invented that yet? Shrubbing.... Under what tech would that be?
Rik Meleet Dec 12, 2003, 02:55 AM The shrubbery-trade should be in a tech before currency. What about Mathematics ?
And those very nice, highly qualified moderators are always doing their best.
Peri Dec 12, 2003, 03:05 AM Is this shubbery you speak of a luxury or a bonus resource?
TerminalMan90 Dec 12, 2003, 10:28 AM Shrubbery is obtained advancement of horticulture. Isn't horticulture in C3C or something? Well, it should be. Somebody give me the number for Atari.
The QUEST for shrubberies is another thing entirely. It is ESPECIALLY difficult when they haven't been invented yet. The more fruitless and impossible the quest the more faith it requires to accomplish!
Ride on, my brothers, for I say unto yea, verilly, we quest for the holy shrubbery.
Vander Dec 12, 2003, 08:16 PM Perchance the shrubbery could be invented along with the hanging gardens? I suppose it is necessary to know shrubbering to make the hanging gardens.
TerminalMan90 Dec 13, 2003, 09:49 PM The Hanging Gardens, what ever that is, is an excelant place to start. I off to find the Shrubberies of the mystical land of Hanging Gardens. I suppose if they are hanging, I aught to be looking up in the sky.
Now, where did I leave my horse. Wait, I just remembered, horses haven't been invented yet either. A new quest! Quest for horses! I guess I'll just have to walk. Walking is ok. It's been invented.
Shoes, on the other hand...
Rik Meleet Dec 14, 2003, 04:21 PM So we are knights of the round table, currently lacking tables, chairs, horses, chivalry and shoes; on a quest for horses so we can quest for shrubberies. I'm glad that is now clear.
Let's make a list what we do have.
We have a circle. We have the holy handgranate. And if we get a tropical start we have coconuts.
Not a lot...
I'll talk to the sparrows. They might bring us our coconuts. Perhaps they know a nice little bunny that can aid our quest. With "bunnies" I don't mean the bunch of attractive young women, a.k.a. some 100 blondes and brunettes between the ages of 18 and 21 + 1/2 who will never let us leave the fabled Castle Anthrax. I mean rabbit, a source of food.
Vander Dec 14, 2003, 06:45 PM Do you suppose that swallows will fly around our starting area?
On another note, we need to rally AGAINST being the French! Those ingrates have called us silly pig- dogs in the past (future?) and have insulted our lineage for the last time!!
Cyc Dec 14, 2003, 11:12 PM Aye, m'Lord, not that I myself haven't started a day benefitting from a merciful swallow now and again, but I would venture to say that we would be more likely to have coconuts delivered to us by sparrows.
Vander Dec 17, 2003, 01:34 PM My fellow (future) Knights, it is a dark day indeed. For it appears that we will be the evil french as a civ. How will this effect us? I see a few options:
1.) We do not let it effect us. Just keep going as if we were the English.
2.) Gung ho for the French. Vivé France!
3.) Work outside of our nation. Act as if we were in a different nation, possibly against the French
I will withhold my opinion for the time being. I want to hear what you have to say.
Stuck_as_a_Mac Dec 17, 2003, 02:42 PM We change to zee French. Who says we cannot be the Cleeseian Order of Knights? We fart in YOUR general direction, our foes. Your leaders mothers were hamsters and you stink of Elderberries! Now, surrender, or we will taunt you, nay not a second, but a THIRD! time
Cyc Dec 17, 2003, 03:21 PM :lol: More fart jokes..who let that pink penguin in here anyways? Glad to hear you're not giving up Stuck.
Aye, m'Lord, I see your point. But don't give up hope, just yet. Please try to remember that The Round table was actually of French origin. I, Sir Lancelot, winner of the heart of Lady Guinevere, am French. We can co-exist in this environment even if it means that we, Knights of the Round Table, must become the taunters for this game. ;) I do not see a problem with hurling vile obsentities down upon the French (within reason of course). I say let us not change to the French, but be the re-occuring nightmare they dreamed up in the first place.
Majic Dec 17, 2003, 03:26 PM I say we should all take a nap, and then let the one who first wake up decide..
The young but wise has spoken
Rik Meleet Dec 17, 2003, 07:02 PM My nap starts soon. I'd probably the first to wake up.
Let's consider ourselves English knights of the round table, spying and infiltraing on the french civilization we are supposed to belong to (wink wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean?? ). Of course we've all sworn oaths of allegiance both to king Arthur and the Knights and do anything in our power to complete our quest.
Vander Dec 18, 2003, 02:37 AM Well, I say (drunkenly) that we should just go on as King Arthur and his knights. This is for fun/ RPG, so I don't see to much actual game interaction. That is just my opinion, so take it as you would a King's.
gunning1 Dec 18, 2003, 04:53 PM I'll join just for some fun this DG.
BCLG100 Dec 18, 2003, 06:18 PM id like to join as well if i can i can be sir Gawain if hes not already taken.
TerminalMan90 Dec 20, 2003, 02:49 PM It has been a while since I have seen the holy grail movie. I seem to remember a cow being catapulted. It is the English that catepult the cow at the French isn't it?
Surely cows have been invented, haven't they? We will have to wait for Mathematics until we can use them properly, but...
:crazyeye:
Cyc Dec 20, 2003, 03:13 PM Other way around, TM90. The French catapulted anything they could find not mailed down at King Arthur.
Fier Canadien Dec 20, 2003, 04:12 PM Hé, milord! I come from the very distant contrée of Kanada and I am willing to join you in your quest to find the, err..., do you have a quest, anyway?
My name, oui, wait a second, ..., for the moment, call me Sir Fier Canadien dit le François.
What, you don't understand? It'f fir fier canadien dit le franfoif. Better? Right...
Vander Dec 20, 2003, 09:56 PM Hmmm.... Fier Confuses the king....
Kingly Announcement: No French language shall be spoken (written) with out proper translation for your Lord!!
BCLG100 Dec 21, 2003, 03:26 AM also instead of neing the who, can i be the 'bold and fearless'
Vander Dec 21, 2003, 04:03 PM You shall be bold and fearless when you prove yourself in battle! (Whenever that is created...)
I pick titles mostly on a comical basis. If the title given is offensive, I'll cange it
BCLG100 Dec 21, 2003, 04:49 PM no please dont cange it, ;)
i didnt know mine was offensive, but my ancient avavtar should fit in perfectly with the whole knights thing
Vander Dec 29, 2003, 06:51 PM Kingly Announcement
I would like to congradulate those of us whom are/have winning elections:
- Rik Meleet, who shall be known as Chief Minister Rik Meleet
- CivGeneral, who shall be known as First Knight CivGeneral
Anyone who's election is in contention, I hope for you to win!
Sarevok Dec 29, 2003, 08:46 PM Can I join the party?
Octavian X Dec 29, 2003, 10:44 PM I shall join, as Sir Octavian, the-almost-not-appearing-in-this-group.
Ni!
Plexus Dec 30, 2003, 06:22 AM I shall be known as Sir Bevedere, the Wise.
Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-pikang-zoop-boing-goodem-zoo-owli-zhiv!
Edit: Spelling. ;)
tossi Dec 30, 2003, 01:02 PM This looks so funny ;)
I want to join as Sir Dingens, the Pink
You-Hou!
Sharkey Dec 30, 2003, 02:31 PM Sir Sharkey, The Penguin is here!
Fier Canadien Dec 30, 2003, 07:07 PM Nice group, my friends, but, do we have a quest? A goal? Anything?
Cyc Dec 30, 2003, 07:25 PM "But, of course!" Sir Lancelot, the Brave reaches for his sword to pull it from it sheath while making a declaration.."We will stike out on a quest for..."
Again he reaches for his sword.."We will stike out on a quest for..."
"Where the heck did I leave my sword?" ...and wanders off...
Xen Dec 30, 2003, 08:00 PM well, perhaps I'm just new, but if the position of the master of spam is availible, I would like- after all, in all the forums there isn no one with a higher post per day couht then I,a nd thus who could claim to be more divinelly chose to be the master of spam?
Civanator Dec 30, 2003, 08:32 PM Sir Civanator the Random is here!
I think we should let the swallows bring us the coconuts m'Lord. But why would an African Swallow migrate? And a European swallow is too small to carry a coconut... How about rocks?
Sharkey Dec 31, 2003, 11:05 AM We are here to find out what else floats on water!
Let's see, maybe swallows float on water, Spam probably floats on water, and if anybody says "Penguins float on water", I will personally cut thy throat.
~Sir Sharkey the Pink Penguin~

Hmmm, does my french wine float on water?
Well, only if I manage to build a bottle...
Vander Jan 04, 2004, 11:31 PM Good Sirs, it is now time to start thinking of actually placing our round table! shall we have our round table somewhere outside of the city? Here is a map to look at:
http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/DG4_BC4000_start.JPG
Rik Meleet Jan 05, 2004, 04:26 AM The table should be on a hilltop, outside the city, overlooking the river. What do you think on the hill SE of the river near the barb camp (for target practice)?
TerminalMan90 Jan 05, 2004, 10:21 AM We need somewhere that is protected from flying cows. Do the barbs have Mathematics yet?
Vander Jan 05, 2004, 12:48 PM If that camp has math, we shall take it. If not, the enemy will fear our cows!!
Rik Meleet Jan 05, 2004, 03:20 PM The jungle is good new to us; COCONUTS !! ;)
Fier Canadien Jan 05, 2004, 04:16 PM Originally posted by Rik Meleet
The jungle is good new to us; COCONUTS !! ;)
Hey, wait a second…
It floats!!!
Sharkey Jan 05, 2004, 05:59 PM Ummm... We are the French. Therefore we have the flying cows. I support Rik's idea, we can practice launching cows at barbs before we have real enemies.
Cyc Jan 05, 2004, 08:43 PM Ok, due East of the settlement on the hill by the river. We'll be close to the coconuts and have a great view and fresh water. (Whatever floats yer coconuts, FC. :D)
But let's not hurl cows at the Goodie Hut. That's a village. It may contain decent people like me and ....(Cyc faces in a different direction), like me and ....(shaking his head, he turns to the other knights)...oh, bloody 'ell...like me and you. :rolleyes:
Vander Jan 05, 2004, 11:37 PM But maybe that village is loaded with dirty English (French?) citizens? Perchance we may need to taunt them for a second time?
Sharkey Jan 14, 2004, 05:19 PM Are we awake?
Or is it nighttime?
CROWD: GET ON WITH IT!
Paalikles Jan 14, 2004, 05:28 PM Sir Paalikles, The Striped of GRRR is here
Gentlemen, are we the knights who say...niiiih?

Nay, I say. We are not Knights Who Say 'Ni!'. Nor are we nee to those naysayers (or Nisayers, whatever the case may be). ;) Nae, say I again. Let us know no Ni this night, or any other!
We are the Knights of the Round Table!
Vander Jan 19, 2004, 03:22 PM Brave sir knights, our scouts have reported sighting a nother tribe!! Now, they may or may not be the wicked french. But they have a tendancy to be very hairy and speak very crudely. I put on the table, *thunk* WAR PLANS! We don't know if they are french or not, so let's just be sure and destroy them!
Input?
Fier Canadien Jan 19, 2004, 04:52 PM Why destroy them? We could enslave them! Much more useful enslaved than dead.
Vander Jan 20, 2004, 02:26 AM Aye, but are we sure that they would be our slaves?
Paalikles Jan 20, 2004, 07:29 AM With the proper persuasion, of course ;)
Vander Jan 20, 2004, 02:46 PM Alright, it's decided then. We shall destroy that tribe over there!! Kill the men! Rape the treasures and pillage the women!!
gunning1 Jan 20, 2004, 08:40 PM And don't forget...France needs cows.

If I may interfere here:
As vegetarian I hereby demand no cows being used for food, nor for catapulting, unless they have parachutes.
Rik Meleet Jan 21, 2004, 11:33 AM I am a rock fan. No stones, boulders or rocks are to be catapulted either. Not even with parachutes.
Vander Jan 21, 2004, 02:04 PM We need rocks; they build cities. Therefore, we shall use them for cities. We are left with cows to catapult once our soothsayers figure out this "mathimatics" thing.
America444 Jan 21, 2004, 03:22 PM i wish to join the knights of the round table and by the way...

RoddyVR Jan 22, 2004, 10:00 AM I shall require an aplication form to this wholy order of round knights.
what? no aplication forms required? alright, then i offer my sword in service to this order of round knights! *pull out his sword and see to his embarrassment that its only a wooden club*.
um.... well, since i'm gonna be a night, would you mind giving me the gold needed to outfit me in gear befitted to my new station?
no? no gold? well, then i will from now on be know as Sir Roderick the Needy.
As soon as we discover Currency though, i would like to change my name to Sir Roderick the Borrower.
Vander Jan 23, 2004, 12:37 AM Well put, my friend!
RoddyVR Jan 27, 2004, 02:22 PM *this group needs a revival, or atleast a bump, lol*
I would like to announce that i have moved to Vo Mimbre and so will not be able participate in any round table events unless i am given some advance notice.
I have discovered that there is a lot of cattle around here, and have strting practicing bull riding. its not going very well. i think we need to find a more docile animal for mounts if we intend to become what is commonly considered (or will be when invented) knights.
The cows, unlike the bulls, seem to be ok with me sitting on them but they wont go anywhere, they just ignore my presence altogether.
what? oh, the blood on my head? that's ok, its congealed already. nasty bump the last time i got thro......jumped off.....ye.... a bull, man that one was a mean beast.
Vander Jan 27, 2004, 02:29 PM Well said, my friend. I do hope your local round table goes as well as this one has (Only Cit. Grp. still posting!)
TerminalMan90 Feb 03, 2004, 02:25 PM We have IRON!! Break out the swords, gentle Kights. We alas, do not yet have horses, or chivalry. I, however, was getting pretty tired of pulling the slivers I was getting from my wooden Sword! Let the Knights of the Round table arm themselves!
Get ye to, nay run to, your nearest black smithie

Vander Feb 03, 2004, 03:11 PM Fantastic work, good sir (future) knight! We now are one step closer to defend the great nation of Fanatica!
What say you, knights?
Rik Meleet Feb 03, 2004, 05:27 PM We can build harnasses, to protect our precious bodies from cow-tossing and rock-slinging. We have nails to hold our catapults together. We have horseshoes!.
Now we only need some animal to put these horeshoes on.
Will it work on cows ?
Cyc Feb 03, 2004, 06:16 PM You mean coconutshoes? The cows won't need shoes... they'll be traveling by air. :)
RoddyVR Feb 04, 2004, 10:02 AM *report from the Vo Mimbre chapter of the Knights of the Round Table.*
Cows make a HORRIBLE animal for riding. and i have the brain damage to prove it. the cows are too lazy, they wont move even when yelled at. and the bulls are too energetic, they wont stop jumping around even when sternly talked to.
i suggest that for now we only use the cow population as amunition for our catapults, and wait untill we have animals more suited for riding before moving another step towards our grand dream of being "historicaly accurate Knights".
on another note, swiming (my favorite activity here in Vo Mimbre) should not be tried while wearing one's Iron Sword. turns out that while being great instruments of death, the do NOT... i repeat, NOT.... make very good flotation devices, even AFTER a stern talking to.
As for the horseshoes, may i suggest plunging your sword into the ground, and then from a few yards away trying to throw the horseshoes onto the sword. this activity can provide lots of family friendly fun.

ah sounds interesting. well now that we have swords all we need are horses and a system of chivalry and the we will be true knights of the round table.
Vander Feb 04, 2004, 04:36 PM You know, gents. I've been thinking: I wonder if it is ok for us to be rude to women. You know, steal their chairs, make them work, slam doors unto them. You think we hurt their feelings? Further, perchance it is wrong of some of us to steal and lie and do "improper things"? Maybe a chivalrious code is in order...
On second thought, nah. The way we do it is much more fun!! Let's do this for a few more years then talk again.
Cyc Feb 04, 2004, 04:47 PM Aye, m'Lord. If we still can't carve a wheel from solid wood or find those darn horses running through our land, what's to make us think we know enough to be chivalrous. Let's have another round of ale instead! :beer:
Vander Feb 05, 2004, 02:48 PM Cyc, my good man, you are wise beyod your years. Cheers!!
Rik Meleet Feb 05, 2004, 05:04 PM Ale ? :confused: What is Ale ?
I know those pretty little purple berries called "Grapes" produce some of the finest wines, but I haven't heard of the wine-type "Ale" yet.
I know: it's GR-ale. The thing we are looking for; Our Quest.
But then, what's with the "another round" ?? Have we completed our Quest already ?
[party] [dance] :band: :bday: [dance] [party]
America444 Feb 06, 2004, 03:26 PM im sorry sir rik. i dont think we have completed our quest:( :cry:
but still, tell us, what is this ale?:confused:
Vander Feb 06, 2004, 06:31 PM Being that there is grain grown in our great despotic land, I can assure you that a Minister of Brewage (Spot available...) could perhaps mix some barley and hops to give us a fine brew....
Cyc Feb 09, 2004, 04:58 PM m'Lord, it is I, Sir Lancelot, the Brave. As you well know, I am now the Mayor of Montpellier and owner of Fanatican Winery. We make the finest wine in the region and have the facilities to expand into the area of a Brewery. With transport of the needed ingrediants to Montpellier, we can meet the requirements of establishing the Fanatican Brewery as part of our compound.
I hereby request the title of Brewmiester. As Minister of Brewage :), I shall make the finest beers in all the land. :thumbsup:
Vander Feb 10, 2004, 02:43 AM And ye shall be appointed!
Cyc Feb 15, 2004, 01:13 PM m'Lord! Good news! Your Brewmiester Sir Lancelot, the Brave, Minister of Brewage is pleased to announce the first celebration party at the Cyclone Brewery. Today we celebrate the official naming of Provincial borders by DaveShack, our IA Minister. All Knights of the Round Table, especially you, m'Lord are invited to stop by Montpellier and pound a few brewskies with us. Free BEER! :beer:
Vander Feb 15, 2004, 04:58 PM Sweet!! Er, I mean, Good show, man. Good show. Then it's settled. Our first quest will be to journey to Montpellier and drink. (Prove to us you've been there by posting.)
Cyc Feb 16, 2004, 09:49 PM Just a special note here to mark the successful completion of DGIV's King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Tables' first quest.
Duly sanctioned by the King himself, the quest entailed journeying to the Cyclone Brewery in Montpellier and drinking with the best of them, or besting with the drink of them, something to that effect...

All went well, the drink was plenty, the food was great, the music was dance-able, but the women were... elsewhere.. oh well, maybe next time. ;)
Thanks to all.
RoddyVR Feb 17, 2004, 08:20 AM " but the women were... elsewhere.. "
lol. having recieved word of this quest a little too late, i was unable to attend, but i will join my brothers in arms for the next portion of the quest.
heads of to the brewery in Montpellier to drink away his sorrow of missing the first official quest of the Knighthood.
Vander Feb 17, 2004, 05:43 PM Fear not, Roddy, for this is an on going quest. Think of it as a pilgrimage that every knight of our table shall under go!
RoddyVR Feb 19, 2004, 08:31 AM *stumbles out of the brewery, having drowned his sorrow of missing the first part of the quest*
"You...hic....mean i can st...hic...still quest the do?
Well then, for my knonor as a hight back.... hic .....into the chrewery i barge!!!"
Rik Meleet Feb 19, 2004, 12:27 PM Roddy: It's not chrewery; it's shrubbery. ni ni ni.
ArmPilot Mar 29, 2004, 11:33 AM Can i join. I want to be the Knights who says NI!!!! Errrr... something cool:crazyeye:
Vander Mar 30, 2004, 03:13 PM Well young sir, first ye need to prove ye strengthe in yon battle! (Points to direction of latest conflict)
Cyc May 12, 2004, 12:43 AM Bring out yer dead!...Bring out yer dead!.....
;) Quote from the movie.... :p :lol:
Bring out yer dead!...
Rik Meleet May 12, 2004, 07:27 AM Latest news: I've heard the Grail is located in Egypt. Let's ride out to Egypt and not leave 1 brick on top of eachother. The Grail will be found in Egypt !
Yeeeeeeeeeeehaa !
Furiey May 12, 2004, 12:04 PM And no distractions by any grail shaped beacons that may be spotted along the way...
Cyc May 12, 2004, 12:17 PM Egypt? Now there's a sobering thought. Not much beer in Egypt I fear. Speaking of which, do you think we'll see the French Foreign Legion while we're there? Their Cavalry might consist of Arabian Horses....Hmmm, maybe I could write a book about this epic adventure, I mean quest :blush: I could call it "One Thousand and One Arabian Knights". eh, maybe not.
Vander May 12, 2004, 05:21 PM I do say, gentlemen, we must go wherever the grail has been sighted!! To Egypt it is!
We're going to need to bring our own beer....
