Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong's Head Cantina - After Hours

Then I would change my name to Rear Admiral Floyd.

For those who don't know it, that's from Cow & Chicken.

Cow & Chicken are hilarious! I loved it when Cow tried to put out the building on fire with rapid utter squirts, that was great..

...Taz, who is now back behind the bar after a close escape from another thread, is heard to mutter: "cow and chicken" and "crudely drawn upstarts" in the same sentence. He goes on to mutter: "Might as well watch that Ren & Stimpy crap!"

Hey, look across the street! Is that the Cantina?
Wait a sec...
If that's the Cantina ... But I'm in the Cantina!
Hmmmm, time to put away the breakables before the boss hears about this.

I don't mean to nitpick (yeah, sure ), but shouldn't the ranks in the forum be Navy ranks instead of Army ? It is a space-navy game, after all.

Yeah, but the shrapnel forums aren't just for SEIV - your rank would apply on any of the other Shrapnel wargames forums, many of which are more traditional historical wargames.

Growltigga strides into the real cantina.

"Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears. I have come to ask for your support in the greatest battle of them all. A crime has occurred, a crime so heinous that it makes all of Dogscoff's predilections look positively tame. The future of your beloved cantina is at stake. A foe so foul is trying to cast confusion on you all, is trying to steal our way of life and relaxation, and is trying to usurp the FBWs.

We must take up arms to defend our right to enjoy this cantina. I ask each and every one of you to join me in this crusade, to defend the free world against plagiarism, to hold back the forces of chaos and dishonesty which threaten our very existence.

Why should you fight? I hear you ask. But think friends and comrades. Think of your lives and think of the future. This is the crux, the moment, the fulcrum. This is the time where you have the ability to change the future, to influence the way things will come to pass. Think of yourselves in the future, would you be proud knowing that at this critical moment, you chose to keep out of the fight and not defend that which we love, I ask you, can you hold yourself up to be men knowing that when the call came, you chose to submit to slavery by evil forces rather than defend your freedom?

The call to arms has come, my legions are marshalled in the car park, Barry is thirsting for blood, the enemy is across the road, will you join me this fight or cower craven behind the cantina bar? PS every warrior will get a free 10,000 mineral tab....

Growltigga pulls out his claymore, checks his blue and white warpaint and hoists up his kilt

FREEEEEDDDDDOOOOOMMMMMMMMM

[Fyron]

Actually GT, you are proving that there is no freedom. As soon as someone tries to make some competition, you set out to destroy him. If there truly were freedom here, he would be allowed to live in peace. But alas, GT is a power-mongering, tyrannical dictator.

[Growltigga]

Got it in one Imperator Fyron and remind me to make a note that when the revolution comes, you will be the first candidate to try out the scorpion pit

Actually, and to quote the phrase, there can be only one cantina, other bars can open where they like BUT there is only one Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill and Phongs HEad Cantina. The other one is pure plagiarism.. if it wants to call itself the Brewski Bar or whatever, then no problem but IT IS NOT YE NEW GALACTIC BAR AND GRILL & PHONGS HEAD CANTINA

In the real world, that would be called infringement of IP rights, passing off and a whole host of other legal points that get me quite excited and reaching for my calculator. As I cannot do that in the SEIV forum world, I must resort to marshalling my military might and laying siege to the place

I like scorpions.

More evidence of the oppression of freedom in this here place. Someone voices their opinion, and they get threatened with death. Very nice.

Ah, but you see, that is the Clone, and this is the After Hours.

And I know full well about copyright infringement, but you don't have a copyright of the Cantina.

[Growltigga]

and therefore it is a direct copy and therefore an infringement of the inherent intellectual property rights Gryphin and I have in the cantina. We will have moral copyright. It is also technically passing off under various European Directives and I can think of another couple of international regulations that apply. As I cannot prosecute in SEIV land, I resort to type and order my legions to destroy it.

As you like scorpions, I will ensure that when the revolution comes, you are the first to be tortured on the Rectal Wire Brush Reaming Machine.

And please dont come out of the closet by saying that you like that happening to you either!!

Could have tried asking him, you know. Wait, that would never even occur to a tyrranical dictator such as yourself.
