Drebbel leaving the Hague after the collapse of the Drebbel trial.

Quote from the President, regarding the outcome of the Drebbel trial:

"He has revolted. Resisted. Fought. Held fast. Maintained. Destroyed resistance. Overcome coercion. The right to be a person, someone or individual. We applaud his private war, and concede that despite materialistic efforts, he has survived intact and secure!''

[Iceman]

http://www.bangbang-live.com/stargazers.html ? or is it Grover's B-Day? :)

http://www.sesameworkshop.org/uploaded-images/10413/ppa_printme_image-1.gif

[Drebbel]

Grover is really cool. But has nothing todo with this important event !

[Abraham]

Does the event take place in Utrecht (NL)?

[Drebbel]

Does the event take place in Utrecht (NL)?

Hmm, I assume it will happen world wide.

[Onkel Neal]

We need a hint!

[Drebbel]

A hint ? ok:

It is not the after party of Neal his Birthday.

And it has nothing to do with Laurel and Hardy.

*

[The Avon Lady]

Anything to do directly with music?

[Drebbel]

Anything to do directly with music?

Nope

[Abraham]

It must have to do something with a subsimulation.
SH3 Expansion?
SH4?
Vee haff vays uf maykink you tawk! :shifty:
@ Drebbel: you did not react to that posting, so I deduct it is the SH III Expansion Pack (SH III EP).
@ The Avon Lady: If I'm wrong, juse jur vays to makink himm tawk!

[Drebbel]

Sorry to disappoint you Abraham. Has nothing todo with PC gaming.

[The Avon Lady]

OK, Drebbel, we give up!

[Abraham]

OK, Drebbel, we give up!
Now tell us.
Neal, post-restrict him if he doesn't spill the beans. :hulk:
Is that your "vay" to make him talk, surrendering and ask Onkel Neal to intervene?
:stare:
I'll keep on guessing right till Oct. 14th...
@ Drebbel: It must be the celebration of the World Standards Day.
It affects all of us worldwide, has nothing to do with, Laurel & Hardy, music or subsim games...

Abraham if I were you I would keep my mouth shut, the Avon lady only dares to speak, eh, let me say, "directly" like that because it is highly likely she has contacts in the jewish Mafia, that or she has "incriminating" pictures of Neal.

Yep, 14 Oct at the latest :sunny:

[Abraham]

I can't stand the human suffering on this thread till October 14th.
Could one of the moderators warn this sadist guy to stop pestering the whole subsim community for his personal pleasure?
:D

[Gizzmoe]

:D

You are a moderator, just do it! :) Or maybe we both could warn him, we use our combined authority as moderators, that would teach him... :88)

[Abraham]

Yes Gizzmoe, but our Magic Moderator Powers are strictly limited to the forum we moderate.

I guess for this one we have to ask Drebbel or Neal.
(More chance with the latter, I guess)
:D

[Gizzmoe]

You forgot JC! :)

I think it would help if we would say "You, Drebbel, are a bad, bad boy, now tell us, because we are moderators!!!1!!1!". We could at least try it. If it works it´s good for our self-esteem! :yep: And of course good for the community...

[Abraham]

Yeah, John might be the solution, since Neal has already committed himself to the discussion.
We could warn him that Drebbel is trying to draw attention to the publication of illegal software on Oct. 14. I'm sure there will be illegal software published on Oct. 14th.
John will go after Drebbel like a Falcke!
Then he'll have to "spill his beans", as The Avon Lady wrote.
:D

[Dargo]

I already let the wife call drebbel to ask what this event will be even a bribe didn't help. :hulk:

[Abraham]

You tried to bribe Drebbel with your wife...?
What was the deal?
:D

[TLAM Strike]

Come on just give me a few minutes alone with him, he'll talk.

Hi everyone...first post here....

Is it this?

[Abraham]

Welcome aboard, stljeffbb1.
Your first post is a miss, though. Drebbel said that it would make mankind happy for many years to come or something...
:D

[JJ]

5th Astroparticle Physics Symposium in the Netherlands.

If this doesn't make people happy, what will? :o :lol:

[Crow]

Sharkstooth 25 th birthday




















































































again :hmm:

[Crow]

disclaimer :

Kercher made me say it

[Abraham]

Moderators!

More and more claimers are puting disclaimers onder their postings lately!
We can't argue this way...
I just wanted to attack Crow for stating that Sharktooth 25th anniversary would make mankind happy for generations to come, purely on the basis that a gentleman does not reveal the age of a lady, when I read his disclaimer.
The insidious part of it is that his posting was timed at 3:26 p. and his disclaimer 3:27, which indicates that while he concieved his posting he had already the intention to disclaim it.
If disclaimers become common practice it wil be the beginning ofthe end of the General Topic Forum, then the Subsim.com site and ultimately the world as we know it...

[Iceman]

Was the anniversary of Subsim.com already guessed?...Don't throw anything at me Neal for not knowing the Birth date of this "Wonderful" , "Kick Butt" site. :up:

[Onkel Neal]

Jan 26, 1997, so it's not that... :ping:

[Abraham]

Jan 26, 1997...Ah, the community wil celebrate that on Oct. 14, 2005 Subsim.com exists exactly 8 years, 8 months and 19 days! How could we forget?
That really deserves a party! :-j

[August]

I'm content just to wait for Oct 14th then claim i knew it all along...

I'm beginning to think this is one of them online drinking games....

[Abraham]

And I left so maby hints in all my messages !

Really disappoints me :cry:
If you left so many hints and the community isn't able to pick them up it says something about one of the two, doesn't it?
Maybe you are out of touch with the community.
Come to think 'bout it, it's a good thang I didn't guess it...
I'm with the community!
:D

@ Neal:
Do your powers on this site go so far to change vote results?
I voted "mebbe" in Drebbels poll but I am now a decided and proud "nope"-voter.
Please change my initial vote...

[Damo1977]

October 14. I'm guessing the first commercial airliner brought down by a bomb. Some crazy 22 yr old killing his mother for insurance money.

He was executed 14 months later.
