CC, The Lizards Beta Test & Team meet

Flight_jacket_moz_sm_tiny by Lizzy Lowblow on

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.

I'm on a team!

I am amazed and honored that someone picked me to play on their team.  It's a new experience.  I shall go out there and play to the best of my abilities.  Although I'm rather sick right now, so please excuse my poor performance.

Commish, Alfredo, amlmart1
Is this IT?

Is it Game Day Baby?

Is this Beta Contest "The One", for the Caricature?

Are you sweating?

Inquiring mind want to know. You have five plus hours to decide. Americans pay "Big Bucks" for these kind of decisions. The longer you wait, the harder it is. Know what I mean?

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

"You, my friend, are an enigma" (einman77)

by amlmart1 on Mar 2, 2008 4:17 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

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!

Something that serious Spaniards
found difficult to tolerate, especilly in regard to three matters that are sacred: protocol, religion and womens, lizards included. Did I tell you that if you call a woman "lagarta" -lizard- in Spanish means what people called here "a woman of happy life" or a "immoral woman"?. I like you my lizard been that woman.

I tried but Dave's link
