They seemed to have a load of problems when we changed over and we stuffed em a few million.

However the first update for a long time they have out produced us.

Are Ars a threat still of have they lost the guts for the fight?

Do NOT listen to the man from Denmark. :crazy:


They are just waiting to do this :weggy: to us, if we get complacent.

We could always stop producing and let you catch up. Now that would be a good idea.:fart:

Never under estimate the power of Ars :Pokes:

ARS ALERT! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Major pimpage (http://arstechnica.com/archive/news/1061389052.html) posted today.

We need more recruiting. This kind of article WILL bring in more ARSian folders. Count on it.

ARSan? ARSist? ARSers? :confused:

BAH! :moon:

I laugh at their pimpage!! :harhar:


In the words of the immortal knights: I :fart: in their general direction.

Oh! :eek: Sorry.

I'm always confusing my antecedents and my precedents, and my vice-precedents, not to mention the decadents.

Or maybe they're confusing me. :scratch:

Not to mention that the Ecc2 gauntlet ends in a few days @ Ars. I'm working on a little something, but it might not work.

Tell you in a little while if it does (actually Sept. 9th, but who's counting?)


In the mean time, I will run like to little :mouserun: I am in production.

Free-DC is outgunned 6 to 1 by ARS so it is no surprise they are out producing us.

Divide ARS's score by six and it is obvious who is the better team.

:cry: I'm apparently on a lousy team :cry:

:p

Switch then. :p
Even without the 6 to 1 advantage, Free-DC is the better place to be. ;) :D

a really friendly place but I have had a look at the Ars site for DF and they look pretty friendly too.

A much bigger family so not quite so personal but still firendly.

The best things about Ars trying to overtake us and us trying to stop them is that it is a win win situation for the DF community as a whole.

So come on Ars give it your best.

And come on DC lets show em it won't be easy. I have a 1.7 million dump on it's way tonight so hopefully I'm doing my part in this mighty saga.

Hey Pintwood,

:weggy: :fart:

I think you'll get this view soon: :moon: :moon: :moon:

You gotta watch out though cause it will quickly become a tiny dot somewhere out in the horison :jester:

I thought we had this discussion before?

Taunting an opponent in a race where it takes a 6:1 advantage to beat is not really anything to brag about.

It's not like you or I are the prime movers behind either of our teams :)

Fozzie
08-27-2003, 09:46 AM
Chinasaur is a bit prickley at the moment ;)

Looks like after pimping twice on the front page they have managed to grab enough extra followers to mount what looks like a successful challenge.

The acid test is once you have past us can you keep all your swarm happy so they will stay.

Lose 50 or 60 or these newbies and you will be back where you started.

Chinasaur: So, I'm supposed to feel sorry for you because your team hasn't been able to recruit as many crunchers as we have?

:bs:

The thing I've always liked about FDC is that we have a good sized group of core members that tend to stick together through things like the latest DF troubles. I've noticed we don't have a lot of team hopping going on. :)

So, while we may be small, we are steady producers who don't go down without a fight.

:fight:

Ditto what she said !!! :thumbs:

And Chinasaur, it's no use arguing with Pointy. No matter what you say, you just won't be able to "get his goat". :rotfl:
