It has been the unofficial (yet incredibly amusing) practice to name these events with a movie spoof tagline. Well Craig Mercer gave us next years gem as he was packing his car to leave. While technically not a spoof on a movie line, we thought it was brilliant and oddly appropriate on so many levels. To that end I declare the name set and will see what we can do for some T-Shirts this time (or some other commemorative thingy). Thanks Craig!

That rules!

AWESOME !!!!
You almost owed me a new notebook.......
But I managed to get the tea in my lungs instead of on the computer. :o
But don't worry, I'm okay. ;) :D ;D

Finally, I knew you had lizard envy!! ;D You can slap all the paint on them you want, the beat down you get will still be the same. Go ahead and layer on the lipstick just the same...although I never had a Stygian ally before...hmmm, and team evil did rock hard....hmmm... !

LOL now I have visions of a tranny Stygain High Priestess played by the star of the crying game.

Yes, I like where your going with this.
We never did team play .....but who would dare fight us....Dave, archer???
and for the record
Yes I had Lizard envy...ever since I faced your army and said to myself "damn these lizards are kool"
-
We never did team play yet.....but who would dare fight us....Dave, archer???
Only someone with a profound sense of sado/masochism certainly. I'll bring the ass brand. ;)

You can goof off at Talamania with your friends when your chores are done.

Who would dare? Y'all know I would.... and if I can't get a team mate, I'll put you both down myself. Or get run over trying.
McGee.... you in?

1) Thanks Veez, my Star Wars humiliation is now complete... (see I can do it too.). :)
2) Archer...hmm...hmm...hmm...Steve, we have our b@$#*, I mean sucker :)
-
hey did anyone hear form Phill (dragaon)
I thought he was going to be there?
-
I can call him today. He also told me he would be there.
Vader says - "You should not have come back"
-
No, and I had Swampie stuff for him (still do).
-
1) Thanks Veez, my Star Wars humiliation is now complete... (see I can do it too.). :)
2) Archer...hmm...hmm...hmm...Steve, we have our b@$#*, I mean sucker :)
yes.....yes we do.
I can almost see his tears of defeat already.

Bah. If it's Chrono, no big. I'm not that good at it and know it.
-
I am saving starting now. I'll bring lots of Elves, maybe even painted in one color scheme (oooohhhhhhhhhh!!!)
And the Stygians shall perish under armored elven feet.
-
I MUST make every effort to make it! I need to show you all the power and might of the Brotherhood! I just got my minis from Mark, so i have ALOT of painting to do... Hopefully I will have something unique to field...right Thom :D

Damn Big Kahuna throw in a steak dinner and it sounds like a date - although I noticed you kept your challenge to the East Coast....got a fear of Midwest farmboys? :o ;D

Where exactly did you see any geographic qualification for that challenge? I SAY WHERE EXACTLY DID YOU SEE A GEOGRAPHIC QUALIFICATION TO MY CHALLENGE??? ;)
-
I apologize Thom - It was the Masherking who limited the choices ot East Coast - You merely agreed with his choices.
-
I didn't even see the limitation. If you want in, that's great. Want in on our side or Archers? ;D
-
Like any truly humble superstar I will patiently wait for your respective teams to contact my agent with lucrative offers ;D

So in, I'm out! Wait, I mean, hells yeah!
-

World of Warcraft? Is your brain so occupied with fantasies of defeating Haupt Kaptain McGee and his Capitol Mercenaries?
-
I think Craig Mercer's nephew Dylan will prolly kick everyone's butt in Chronopia if he shows next year. I start training now.

Then its a done deal. AS long as Uncle Sam does not have my hide on the weekend chosen this is a done deal.

oh no not me
its an OPEN CHALLANGE.
now if you excuse me theres a few d20s I need to file down

I meant in Warzone or chronopia.
Is your brain so occupied with the REAILTY of defeating Haupt Kaptain McGee and his Capitol Mercenaries?
corrected :P
more and more it looks like I need to get back to painting Warzone minis
-
I'll gladly take on Team Prime/Masher. I know I can beat Prime so the added challenge of Masherking might be what I need. :)
Prime did make a sacrifice to the dice gods (photographic evidence will be posted) after our game though so he could be dangerous next year.

I have yet to play Coil.

you will get him Next year unless he chooses to come this way again before then.
My goal next year to to play no one but those I've never played....
-
That's my goal every year. I can play the locals anytime.
-
I will work for food for anyone who needs Capital reinforcements
-
Dodge played some mean Capital this year Tim, you would be proud.
-
Prime,
I am proud. He updated me on the new Capital tactics when I first joined you guys up at The Rogue's Den.
I played Capital way back in first edition and added to it from watching him play. He is IMHO the better Capital player. Aoi Cobalt is pretty darn good also.
Nothing beats the Purple Shark two step beat down he gave when we played Capital versus Capital.
I am learning. Sorry -
"Now I am the master"
-
Never tell me the odds!
Was a good game vs prime.. just made some tactical mistakes. Next time! KAAAAAHHHNN!! (oops.. wrong movie!)
-
You'd have been thrilled, he had the Pegasus Scout Bikes running wild and the Grey Grey going for the backfield. Colby's Guards were in abundance and the HI and Turtles were holding the middle. Very cool. Maybe I will do a battle report (or Jeff can).
-
Masherking, Jibba, Dodge and AoiCobalt are on my list for next year. I'll have to give Josh another chance to regain his honour though. I don't think the win in the chariot race was enough compared to the two beatings in Chronopia and one in Warzone I've given him. :)
Topkick is also on the top of my list.
-

Hmm....
Might be time for some 75th Ranger action. Now where did I put that 1k list....
-
Not only did I destroy you in the Chariot Race, but I crossed the finish line!!! I'm still laughing at that race.
-

Capital against Capital...its the end of days!!! Or are you vying to see whose Capital reigns supreme?
-
With all the capital we (together) have, we could theoretically play the entire Capital Army versus the entire Capital Army. Or even the age old classic Army versus Navy. That would be cool. A capital throw down to see who can do the Capital two step best.
-
I'll bring the popcorn on the 16th. Army versus Navy.
-
2000pts Army (regulars welcome) versus 2000pts Navy (regulars welcome)
2-4 players are required.
Army comp rules in effect.
Sign up here for sides.
My first choice is 1000pts Navy
Dave to determine table/environment and special rules.
Any takers. No figures needed and can be provided.
Gotta be level 4 or above IMHO.
-

Heh.
he's got nothin' but punk-arse Turtles.

Uncle Same that weekend. I can *try* to arrange coming down that Saturday. Won't get there till 6 at the earliest.
and we'd have to start playing quick.

Heh.

Go turtles. They are nasty, but can be killed. I would suggest at a long range of course.
-
I can call him today. He also told me he would be there.
Vader says - "You should not have come back"
Forgot to call him. I will try again today.
Anyone else got a hold of him?
I will invite him down (remind him) to gaming night at Dave's.
-
*sigh* your starwars-fu is weak, young padawan. You lack focus.
I would have to agree on that statment for Thom... So sad.....At least maybe he can go target some wamprats in his T-16.....
-
"They're only two meters wide..."
-
Just like begger's canyon back home.
-
Is there a tenative date for T-4 yet? I will be there for this 1 no matter what happens.
-
I would guess the 14-16 or 21-23 May.
-
Is it in May, this year?
Yes, I know I'm the host, but I am just as much in the dark as the next.

What will work for the most people? Not sure what the tax schedule looks like for Thom etc. Deployments and work stops some people.
What weekends were you thinking about Dave?
I have to attend this year no matter what.
-
I believe may 9th is mothers day and the 31st is memorial day just to give a heads up.

Kinda cuts down the weekends avaialble in May to the 14-16 or 21-23.
What other weekends are avaialble? April or June?
Usually May works best for me. IMHO.
-
IMHO.
Yeah, as if there's anything humble about you!
-
You have beaten me enough to know that buddy.
My Capital are still smoking from the double flame para troopers you hit me with.
-
Well, it's the new year, and vacation time is getting put down where I work.
Has there been any decision about when Talamania IV will be?
Both May dates that have been put forth look good to me, and I'm eager to see all of you again for some great gaming.
-
It would be great to have you there again. Looking for a game again?
-
For me 21-23 would work a lot better than 14-16. 28-30 would work as well for me. Is being just before Memorial day a problem? It would seem to me that being in connection with a holiday might make it easier for people travelling from further away.
-
Just as an odd timing, my nephew just asked me when Talamania IV was.
-
Any of the weekends will work for me. I plan on making it this year. ;)
-
As do I.
Hey, since Thom is going to be there it is almost positive that i'll get my terrain back. Right Thom. I won't have to hunt you to the ends of the earth for that stuff.
-

In Thom's defense, he did not realize that it was yours, Sean. I gave it to him, thinking that it was his. If anyone is to blame, here, it is me! ;D
-
Okay, May appears to be the month. We have two weekends that appear to work for most.
May 14-16
May 21-23
Cast your vote (both if neither matters to you)
-
Right now I am claer for both. IMHO we should have it on the day we will get the most players. We have always followed this rule in the past and I am sure that will be the case this year also. I am looking very much forward to this one.
-
Should we start a roll call for Talamanie IV?
Roll call
Lucky 1.
-
I will try and make it. Depends on my move from Puerto Rico to Houston. Hopefully all my minis will make it safe and sound.
-
If you make it, I might be able to spare a Light Inf Martor position I have. If not let me know when you make it to Houston.

Nice tactic, Tim; bribing folks to come play! I like it!
-
I have to try Dave, we gave out most of (if not all) the large box of figs from the Rogues Den. I think there a few left.
Whatever works right Dave.
-
Well everyone. Looks like the "Lucky One" is not so lucky again this year.
Surprise, surprise, my father-in-law booked a family vacation (like last year) for the OBX and guess what weekend we are going?
Yes once again, I will not be there. Oh well, I will be there prior to it in the form of Gaming Night at Dave's
It was supposed to be a surprise for Christmas but the weekend finally was reserved (double booked) this week.
I will have to submit my chariot and leave 1 set of Capitol Inf mortar position there.
If you need to borrow Capitol figs for the event let me/Dave know and we will arrange it.
This hurts me more than you know.
-
Any chance you could go with the family, be "kidnapped" for a day and then heroically escape to rejoin them? ;D
-
I can only f--- dream it right now.
-
On the plus side, the really snuggly Homer is up for grabs again! any takers?
But seriously, thats a bummer dude! hope to see you at a gaming day before then!
-
All my terrain has been made available for Talalmania IV (A New Hope)
It is currently in Dave's basement ready to game.
-
Head count!
-
New thread time? Pics of the new space? Either way, I'm in!!
Edit: I see you have the attendance thread already, albeit locked. Looks like the biggest one yet!!!
-
Looks like a great turnout this year as well. I hope the volcano has calmed down by then otherwise I am going to be seriously ****ed with the Icelanders. :)
-
You know I'am in.
-
I'm all for it - just gotta hope the new bosses are - if I can get a new boss that is.
-
I hope they are Hal. You're at the top of my list of people I want to play a game with.
-
You're on the top of my list for an agonizing beatdown!! Can't wait to see everyone!!
-
You're on the top of my list for an agonizing beatdown!!
You want me to give you an agonizing beatdown? I guess I have to it's a Talamania tradition for me. :P

That was a funny one Coil.
-
??? I'll see you on the chariot racetrack, Coil!!
-
Construction is moving along nicely. As we approach the finish line, there remains only a few items. I am confident all will be completed and ready for Talamina, early!
I'll keep you posted.
-
I am friggin seriously looking forward to seeing you guys.
I will also bring Monsterpockalypse with enough for anybody to play.
Uncharted seas (I need to brush up)
And some scratchbuilt stuff I think you will enjoy.
I miss you guys!
