I'm bolologically deprived. 2. My mother didn't raise me in an environment conducive to bolo. 3. My DNA prohibits me from playing bolo well. 4. My wife prohibits me from playing bolo well. 5. My hair prohibits me from playing bolo well. 6. My bolo skills prohibit me from playing bolo well. 7. I'm incompetent. 8. My lgm and I have differences over what he should be doing. 9. My lgm is usually on strike. 10. My lgm likes to parachute, and he won't listen to me when I tell him otherwise. 11. I was last in line when God gave out bolo skill. 12. If I didn't lose so much I'd be the best player on the planet. 13. My specialty is mines. (with apologies to sluggo) 14. I just hit on a killer strategy...let's just wall in their bases! 15. I almost beat santa once. But then he got a base. 16. The only reason I lost is that some guy was yelling at me in the lab, I haven't slept in three days, my keyboard stuck, my mouse is broken, and I just realized I'm wearing no pants. (with apologies to stimpy) 17. You just don't understand! By putting that wall there I force them to waste ammo to shoot it out, which depletes their ammo and slows them down when they drive over the rubble, forcing them to harvest trees and waste valuable time while we attack their pills! 18. The implied subconscious mechanisms of the static pillbox defense techniques result in passive implicative entropic decay of any sustainable resource based tactics, interrupting active primary assault maneuvers with repeated depletion of neccessary integral elements of aggression. (with apologies to Tempest) 19. I can take a pill in the same time my enemy can take 4 of my bases. 20. I'd sell my soul for an idea of why that green speck keeps chasing my tank. 21. My favorite map is CookMap1. ($10 says 1/2 of today's players don't get that one) 22. I've never lost an open game! 23. No fair! You took all the bases! 24. What's that red thing? 25. I've learned most of my techniques from Standard Autopilot. 26. I've perfected the hard-line. 27. I just want to play like Jolo. 28. WSRN is my favorite radio station. 29. How come I always ally with the best player? 30. Let's play a pill war this game. 31. Who is "santa"? 32. I rearranged the tank numbers on this map. 33. OK, let's pull the alliance trick...we leave alliance and then we both ally the other team! 34. You mean you can use WALLS to take pills?!?! 35. I've memorized Puppy Love's Strategy Guide. I'm really good. 36. If I had $1 for every builder I've killed, I'd owe myself a million dollars. 37. I'm a firm adherent to the Amoeboid strategy of bolo. 38. I'm a firm adherent to the Maze War school of bolo. 39. I'm firmly adhered to the ceiling. 40. Actually, I think maps with a lot of swamp add a unique and exciting new element to the game. 41. Oregon State University has the best bolo players. 42. Once you get all the pills, you win. 43. Guido taught me all I know. 44. No, no, no. Getting ammo is a waste of time. Just go for their trees. 45. There are only 4 of 'em. We can do a quadruple. (with apologies to Pokey) 46. You may have all of my bases, but the game isn't over until you take all my pills! 47. Well, my builder's walled in...I guess I should go kill some more neutral pills. 48. I play two-handed, plus the hand I use for the mouse. 49. I think that only bad players use autoslowdown. 50. |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ |~ -- Joseph Goodman...aka Hillbilly Bob...jgoodma1@cc.swarthmore.edu Editor and Publisher of The Dark Library, a magazine for 40K Editor of Forge, the Magazine of Miniatures Gaming My 40K Page: http://sccs.swarthmore.edu/~bigearl/war40K.html
