It should be noted that "Liberal" in the British sense does not have the socialist conotations it seems to have in the US. A liberal is someone who believes that the only justifiable limit on freedom is when the exercise of that freedom would infringe on the liberty of others (to paraphrase J.S. Mill slightly)

Rancid for the record there are three things which are sure to provoke me:

(1) Calling me French (ask Baca)
(2) Calling me a Tory, a "Red", a Fascist or an Anarchist (I've been accused of all of the above in the past)
(3) Calling Paintball just a game (aargh)

John. Whilst the boys did do good work at Agincourt and Crecy unfortunately in the end the French did come out ahead in the Hundred Years War. An unfortunate fact of history but true nonetheless

Oh come on Mordhir. Winning a few battles has got to be less important in the overall scheme of things that winning the war. On that logic the fact that the German Army won many spectatular victories against the odds in WWII in some way makes up for the fact they lost the war

British military history has been very successful but our troops were not always victorious frequently due to the fact that the British Army has always been too small to compete on an equal footing with the far larger continental Armies. If I can quote an 18th Century French General "The British Infantryman is the finest in the world... fortunately there are not very many of them"

Apparently Rancid we have attained the status of resident forum entertainment

Hey no offence Jon. Just winding you up for no good reason.

However, back to the original point - is class a determining factor in your ability to play? Is it the namby pambies who complain of 'unsporting conduct' 'over aggression' 'gamesmanship'? And are these namby pambies all mcs?

Oh yes oh yes. My favourite players of all time are good old wc stock (class).

As for entertainment... hell no. I am happy to boast the most hate mail of all on the site, specially since Baca's gone all friendly, and Manike's been to finishing school.

i was just stating in that case that the hundred years war is remembered more from us winning agincourt than the french winning the whole thing

 

[rancid]

How long did Agincourt take? Yep, and how long did the 100 years war take? I think that says something.

 

[Mordhir]

not a hundred years

 

[rancid]

Exactly! And what was the game limit? See, technically it was a draw.
