Robinette's 500 CC Party

PostPosted: Sun Feb 22, 2009 4:54 pm

That's right... Robinette has begun to plan for a Monumental CC 500 party...


Please do not confuse this with the recent Daytona 500, which finished way short,
Rest assured, the Robinette 500 will go the distance, I will not abort...

481 games are logged in the record book,
with another 13 in progress, if you were to look...

so this monumental 500th game is soon to be,
do the math and it will happen in just 6 games, you see.



This has given me pause to reflect on these 3 years past...
ahhhhhh, the memories... and how they last...

I think of the many friendships I've made at this place,
which puts a big smile on my cute face...

I've even made an enemy or two here...
but they are arse's, to which i sneer...




Friends would often drag me into maps i did not know,
so when it was my turn, i would play... well, ever so slow...

6 player standard is where i want to be
To which they say, 'Join our triples game, you'll see'



I peek in the forums, just to see...
should i inject humor, or let them be?

How do i say it, so that they'll have a clue?
I know, I'll post a pic or two,
that's what i'll do...



In under 200 games, i wanted to be the 1st one,
I was almost to 3000, and then this too would be done...

He did it just days before me, that fellow named NUKE,
to this day, I keep telling myself that it was just a fluke.

So i had to settle for being number 2,
But at least i'm that much better than YOU...



Seeking higher skilled opponents became a focus of mine,
so we started the Super Elite, which satisfied me just fine...

but we did not let in very many cc brothers,
which upset JR immensely, along with many others.



Up the scoreboard I continued to climb,
Eventually the 4th spot, I claimed as mine...

Players now were standing in line, for it was me they wanted to play,
celebrity status suddenly now didn't seem so gay



And then it all fell apart, reminding me of Myrtle the Turtle, it did,
into the mud did i fall, down to those 2nd page scores, i do not kid...

Consecutive losses did not stop till they numbered Twenty three,
Had i had a stroke i wondered, as those 15 weeks went without glee...



Back to the Classic, i recall the great pain
of those white little circle thingies which caused such a strain...

To freemium i did go, out of protest a week for each day,
as a punishment for the fix that had such a delay...

No longer a map, but stripped to shapes and artists by name,
after a great anguish, I decided i'd stay, afterall, the play really IS the same...



So this is my story, brief and true...
maybe it's pathetic, but take a look at you,

For you have taken all of this time
to have read these many words of mine,

In closing you should know, that i will be very happy on this day,
if you would simply tell me this prose made you smile, that's all you have to say.

If Conquer Club ever needs an ambassador to another website, I think you, Robinette, would be a perfect fit. :)

As i sit here and relax on this beautiful night,
I am pondering just how to do this thing right...

Five games I've decided it will be,
by invitation only, from who else but me...

A game that includes quality players is obvious enough,
but these are in consecutive order, as I discovered them in the rough...

Sadly some have left this place,
but well just go down the list to the next face...

zawbanjito was the 1st i discovered,
................and oh so full of wit was he... 53 games we did share, 13 to me, to zaw went 12.

maniacmath17 was the next that i found,
................the 1st on this list to be #1... 40 games we played, 7 for me, & 10 to MM.

RL_Orange was the 3rd great player for me to meet,
................a whopping 100 games we've shared, but we've each won only 13

Pedronicus, this stroppy bastard is the 4th for me to discover,
................49 games i have shared with this EastEnder... 11 for me, 8 for Pete

NUKE, whom i raced to 3000, was the 5th great player...
................25 games we played, 3 victories for me, and 4 for the NUKE

poo-maker is the next in this great line, and later he too went to #1...
................we played just 18 games, 4 for me, & 3 to poo

comic boy is the 7th i found, and he is another who became #1...
................we played just 20... i won 2, comic took 9 (damn, that's not even funny)

So this is how this 1st game will be...
Game 4338610 for all to see...


EDIT...

I am happy to say, that on this map,
the game has ended, it fell right in my lap...

Six score and nine points did i gain,
for which my opponents did suffer the pain...

Eleven rounds we did go,
my pulse rate, not once did it slow...

Oh so happy am I,
I feel i could fly :mrgreen:

Classic win # 114

robin,

if your poem is original it is marvelously clever and creative.
even if you had to alter an existing poem it is great

steve

oh robinette, our always so intellectual girl of cc,
I hope you can clearly see
that you are a very loved person here,
someone with who it is to easy to bear,
I have had the honour of being in nine of your games,
all with other very cool and quality names.
I noticed you in GD because of your wit,
when I saw you posted somewhere I'd just relax and sit
and read an interesting peice of text,
I just couldn't wait till you'd post next,
maybe a little exaggeration is being used
but certainly not abused
cause you deserve this to say the least
let that darn game number 500 be a feast!!

it's a wonderful skill to craft with the pen...
i'll be starting a new game in just a while,
for the five best responses, all without vile...
