International Teleplaying Forum for Civ3

great initials but i dont hold out much hope

Although you may not find it in a dictionary teleplaying is a perfectly good conflation on the greek root tele. And come to think of it if I made it up it can mean anything i want - so it means playing by email.

C.U.N.T.F.U.C.K. that's what I'd vote for. Looks cool in my signature.

Hmm, anarchist butcher Civ3 forum seems to be winning atm...

Do you lot think it's descriptive enough? Will people wonder just what kind of sick weirdos would call themselves the anarchist butchers? [eek]

FWIW, I am holding my vote back because I can't decide which I like the best, although CDZ has a nice ring to it. [hmm]

Hey, if you think it's not good, don't poll it. I think it's best to make a follow up run-off poll, with the two (or three, or four, or five, well, no just two) options that got the most votes.

Shabba, I suggested the anarchist butchers civ3 forum myself. ;)

They are all good, I am just (unusually) indecisive about it. [crazyeye]

And you know what, just to muddy the waters further (my speciality ;)) I say let's not have another bloody acronym... cdg, cfc, bah! too forgettable! We should have a name like "The [insert a single cool word here] Forum" and then we can be known by a word not an acronym. Hmmm, like Poly actually.

You should probably ignore this post btw. [tongue]

We could abreviate anarchist butcher to a. but. forum

Maybe someone can come up with a logo for that[fdevil]

I already have a macro set up in my mind to ignore posts that contain an author variable of Dr. Alimentado actually, it's the rule that comes after the one where I ignore anything that comes outta my wife's mouth in the 'only dogs can hear you now' frequency...

That's the frequency that asks you to do the dishes and change your son's diapers I assume...

I'd guess it's 'the get your arse away from that fucking computer NOW' request that gets that frequency

Nothing that brings a forum closer to being like 'Poly can possibly be a good thing http://www.counterglow.com/forum/images/smilies/bouncemaske.gif

far be it from me etc etc but an acronym is a word (eg norwich). Collections of letters are something else. (actually of course an acronym is a word that stands for other words, so what the good doctor says is true in essence, this is just me being pedantic)

So we want a word that is something that everyone likes? howzabout - The fellatio club? [:o], we've even got our own smiley (which presumably is a word that meli can hear - if not very often - he he)( and btw I would highly recommend this carrot approach to getting people off PCs)
