CC, The Lizards Beta Test & Team meet

by Lizzy Lowblow on Mar 2, 2008 12:13 PM PST

annetheFan, faith, JTDuck22, Lenny,. It is Game Day Baby!

The Jersey Contest is in "Beta Form". I don't know if it will count or not (still haven't read "The Darn Rules"). The Lizards need to play in it and Play like it counts (cause it may). The Lizards need to be familiar with the new format. The Lizards need to know who is dependable to enter the JC, at least. The new format has not let me see who has entered the contest or how they have predicted the results! If one of the Team knows how to do this, let your GM know.

Play it like it is. This is our future and the future of our children, possibly the Human Race. The original "Caricature" may become an early rendition of a "Master Artist", priceless in future generations. The original will be preserved, while replicas are waved in The Rose Garden on special occasions. This is what YOU are playing for, don't forget it and treat it as so.

Get your "Game Face" On. Here is mine;

This Game is a hard one to predict. They all are Hard. Get used to it and bring your "A Game".

We need to talk strategy as a Team. Do we all predict the same winner? These are crucial points and could devastate or reward us, big time. Do we cover our behinds, with a few opposing picks? I don't think so. We go all out for the WIN! We either Win or Die, together. So is Lizard Culture. All for One and One for All.

Please post your Lizard thoughts. Let's "Get It On".

GO LIZARDS!

Caricatures;

The Darn Rules

And a lil' travelin' music; Someday Baby
PS; The Commish has spokin'. This IS IT! It is "Now or Never". Good Luck. May the best Lizard win.

You do your points in Dave´s

jersey contest.

When Dave´s contest is finished, all teams must add their players´s results. The player with more points in the best team (both conditions) will win the caricature. If one player fails, he will be replaced by the same position player of the next team in order of appearance

If one player fails means...

he doesn´t participate in Dave´s contest. The player who replace him will multiply his presence.

But strategies are also a posibility

if you talk about them with your teammates before give your answers to the contest. Por example, you prepare different answers based in a previous agreement in the team to cover more possibilities and make more points...
There will be more caricatures, so you´ll have new opportunities.

WHAT!

In the early years of the 16th century, to combat the rising tide of religious unorthodoxy, the Pope gave Cardinal Ximinez of Spain leave to move without let or hindrance throughout the land, in a reign of violence, terror and torture that makes a smashing film. This was the Spanish Inquisition...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapman: Trouble at mill.
Cleveland: Oh no - what kind of trouble?
Chapman: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treadle.
Cleveland: Pardon?
Chapman: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treadle.
Cleveland: I don't understand what you're saying.
Chapman: [slightly irritatedly and with exaggeratedly clear accent] One of the cross beams has gone out askew on the treadle.
Cleveland: Well what on earth does that mean?
Chapman: I don't know - Mr Wentworth just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at the mill, that's all - I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

[JARRING CHORD]

[The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain [Palin] enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles [Jones] has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang [Gilliam] is just Cardinal Fang]

Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our four...no... Amongst our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

[The Inquisition exits]

Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

[JARRING CHORD]

[The cardinals burst in]

Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms - Oh damn!
[To Cardinal Biggles] I can't say it - you'll have to say it.
Biggles: What?
Ximinez: You'll have to say the bit about 'Our chief weapons are ...'
Biggles: [rather horrified]: I couldn't do that...

[Ximinez bundles the cardinals outside again]

Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

[JARRING CHORD]

[The cardinals enter]

Biggles: Er.... Nobody...um....
Ximinez: Expects...
Biggles: Expects... Nobody expects the...um...the Spanish...um...
Ximinez: Inquisition.
Biggles: I know, I know! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. In fact, those who do expect -
Ximinez: Our chief weapons are...
Biggles: Our chief weapons are...um...er...
Ximinez: Surprise...
Biggles: Surprise and --
Ximinez: Okay, stop. Stop. Stop there - stop there. Stop. Phew! Ah! ... our chief weapons are surprise...blah blah blah. Cardinal, read the charges.
Fang: You are hereby charged that you did on diverse dates commit heresy against the Holy Church. 'My old man said follow the--'
Biggles: That's enough.
[To Cleveland] Now, how do you plead?
Clevelnd: We're innocent.
Ximinez: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

[DIABOLICAL LAUGHTER]

Biggles: We'll soon change your mind about that!

[DIABOLICAL ACTING]

Ximinez: Fear, surprise, and a most ruthless-- [controls himself with a supreme effort] Ooooh! Now, Cardinal -- the rack!

[Biggles produces a plastic-coated dish-drying rack. Ximinez looks at it and clenches his teeth in an effort not to lose control. He hums heavily to cover his anger]

Ximinez: You....Right! Tie her down.

[Fang and Biggles make a pathetic attempt to tie her on to the drying rack]

Ximinez:Right! How do you plead?
Clevelnd: Innocent.
Ximinez: Ha! Right! Cardinal, give the rack [oh dear] give the rack a turn.

[Biggles stands their awkwardly and shrugs his shoulders]

Biggles: I....
Ximinez: [gritting his teeth] I know, I know you can't. I didn't want to say anything. I just wanted to try and ignore your crass mistake.
Biggles: I...
Ximinez: It makes it all seem so stupid.
Biggles: Shall I...?
Ximinez: No, just pretend for God's sake. Ha! Ha! Ha!

[Biggles turns an imaginary handle on the side of the dish-rack]

[Cut to them torturing a dear old lady, Marjorie Wilde]

Ximinez: Now, old woman -- you are accused of heresy on three counts -- heresy by thought, heresy by word, heresy by deed, and heresy by action -- four counts. Do you confess?
Wilde: I don't understand what I'm accused of.
Ximinez: Ha! Then we'll make you understand! Biggles! Fetch...THE CUSHIONS!

[JARRING CHORD]

[Biggles holds out two ordinary modern household cushions]

Biggles: Here they are, lord.
Ximinez: Now, old lady -- you have one last chance. Confess the heinous sin of heresy, reject the works of the ungodly -- two last chances. And you shall be free -- three last chances. You have three last chances, the nature of which I have divulged in my previous utterance.
Wilde: I don't know what you're talking about.
Ximinez: Right! If that's the way you want it -- Cardinal! Poke her with the soft cushions!

[Biggles carries out this rather pathetic torture]

Ximinez: Confess! Confess! Confess!
Biggles: It doesn't seem to be hurting her, lord.
Ximinez: Have you got all the stuffing up one end?
Biggles: Yes, lord.
Ximinez [angrily hurling away the cushions]: Hm! She is made of harder stuff! Cardinal Fang! Fetch...THE COMFY CHAIR!

[JARRING CHORD]

[Zoom into Fang's horrified face]

Fang [terrified]: The...Comfy Chair?

[Biggles pushes in a comfy chair -- a really plush one]

Ximinez: So you think you are strong because you can survive the soft cushions. Well, we shall see. Biggles! Put her in the Comfy Chair!

[They roughly push her into the Comfy Chair]

Ximinez [with a cruel leer]: Now -- you will stay in the Comfy Chair until lunch time, with only a cup of coffee at eleven. [aside, to Biggles] Is that really all it is?
Biggles: Yes, lord.
Ximinez: I see. I suppose we make it worse by shouting a lot, do we? Confess, woman. Confess! Confess! Confess! Confess
Biggles: I confess!
Ximinez: Not you!

Si Senor

I sent it though the optic cable, that goes under the Pacific Ocean, from here to Japan. How it gets from there to you? I don't know.

Thank you Alfredo for arranging all this fun and a prize. Give Paco a kiss from all the Lizards.

No postal adress in my hands.

Even your email adress I erased because an error.

Come on, go deep down the sea, repare that cable and send it again, oh Sandy.

I'll let you all know when it gets here.

If it is illegally taped or not. Does the Spanish Postal Service look for that kind of thing? Do they ride around in little carts, like over here. Huh, Huh? Do they?

Spanish Postal Service is vicious too

but all is legal in this case. Even if finally it isn´t legal, my lawyer will do it to seem legal.

NEXT CARICATURE CONTEST PRIZE:

ODEN WITH A MOHAWK.

Expected for the next week.

Presented 3 teams still stand in the contest. They do not need new announcement.

Opened window for changes only this week, only for managers and only to change players who needed substitution in contest for Brandon caricature. Changes musical announcement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl3vxEudif8&feature=related

New teams may be presented, under the darn rules, until 1 hour before the contest.

An announce will be posted.

In Dave we trust.

I see a setup!!!

We get a subsititution by faith (29 points) Team Lizzy gets a subsititution by bfan, 64 points! I call shenanigans!

Oh, well. Not many subs to chose from, i guess.

by Section323 on Mar 3, 2008 7:26 AM PST reply actions

Darn rules

If there is not error, substitutions have been made with the nex team player in same position, as in the darn rules. But you may claim under those rules also.

by amlmart1 on Mar 3, 2008 7:34 AM PST up reply actions

Nah, I think it's right

those darn rules.

by Section323 on Mar 3, 2008 9:57 AM PST up reply actions

You could appeal to Dave

but it wouldn't do any good, because I and my Highlanders would overrule him.

Effective substitutions are simply a sign of better coaching. Ask Nate.

So it is written, so let it be done.

I'm frequently right, but always certain

by jscot on Mar 3, 2008 10:36 AM PST up reply actions

Shoot

I wish I had read the substitution rules, but then I guess I couldn't have drafted just anyone. But of course I didn't know troutfan wouldn't play. Bad Manager! Sorry team! (No, the team is not sorry, I am saying I'm sorry to the team.)

And yes, I picked GS to win, that's what my numbers told me. I always go with flat stats, not my feelings or wishes. And I usually do fairly well (not any single game, but over the month. More that others drop off rather than me making a giant leap.) I made it to the finals last year. Final game in fact, losing to fromagnon.

fromagnon?

A cross between french "cromagnon et fromage"?. A Quebecois, peut etre?.

You jorga are damn good playing this game. As GM you have this week to use your pick to replace the player involved in past substitution.

Are you talking about prehistoric cheese

or a fart? "cromagnon et fromage". Translation please?

by annthefan on Mar 4, 2008 2:36 AM PST up reply actions

I let you choose it.

Because usually I have not idea of what I´m talking about or what does it means what I´m writting. It happens in Spanish, you can imagine in English or French.

That's his screen name

I have no idea where it came from. Perhaps he wears a 'fro (Afro) hairstyle? Or maybe he is From Agnon ... (sounds like a SciFi planet)

OK, I will draft DrawingJeremy to replace TroutFan. He is usually in contention (and will pick the opponent even if it hurts to do so.) However, like me he is also willing to sacrifice a jersey win for a Blazer win which, if the sacrifice is accepted by Fate, would jeopardize the team.

No need to apologize

With the new jersey contest, you can't see who's entered.
Also, you're the only one on our team who picked GS, so without you, we were doomed!

I admire your picks. In the old version, if I was undecided, I'd look to your entry. Darn, I can't copy off your paper anymore!

by Section323 on Mar 3, 2008 11:46 AM PST up reply actions

What the heck?

I was on a team and I didn't even know it! Now I think I am off the team. What should I have done? I am so confused.

by troutfan on Mar 3, 2008 8:11 PM PST reply actions

I feel so bad

My boyfriend told me I post too much. So I didn't participate for one game and now I feel sad. Can I redeeem myself in some way?

by troutfan on Mar 3, 2008 8:13 PM PST reply actions

Don't feel bad

it made the whole thing more exciting to have subs. Alfredo got to invoke all the rules.

So I vote for keeping you, but Jorga's our coach, so I'll defer to her. She's like Sarge! If she keeps you, all you have to do is play the jersey contest (tell your boyfriend you HAVE to play cause Alfredo may declare game day at any time!)

But you can ask to be waived, too, if you don't want the added pressure!

in re "troutfan". Me too.

by annthefan on Mar 4, 2008 2:37 AM PST up reply actions

Your boyfriend has to live with it

The swashbuckling, debonair, charming Alfredo has a higher claim on you. If he can't handle it, he needs to take a hike.

So it is written, so let it be done.

by jscot on Mar 4, 2008 4:47 AM PST up reply actions

Jorga replaced you. You can be now GM

if you draft 4 players plus yourself, each one in a position (PG, SG, F..). Then there will be 4 teams at least competing for a caricature of Oden with a Mohawk.

I replied to this earlier today

but my computer choked on it and I had to reboot.

Of course now I've forgotten what I said...

I am willing to rescind my drafting of Jeremy - I did that before seeing you had returned. I wasn't smart enough to call a team meeting like Lizzie did to let everyone know they had been drafted!

You tell your boyfriend that you can play here as much as you want - we need all the girl power we can get here! Do we know him??? If he objects to you posting ... well, you need a new boyfriend!

I'm ok

with Jeremy taking my place. I was honored to see my name. If I hadn't looked at this blog I wouldn't have know. Who makes these teams and how did everyone get picked? Was there another place I should have looked to get this info? I don't want to be a GM but if I see my name again on another team, I will step up and tell my boyfriend to step off. Ha, no! He just is tired of me rewinding the plays to catch up when I was typing. Can't blame him there.
