Excalibur Squadron OOC 2: The Song Remains the Same

[Goram]

Both.

Mostly the latter though

Why, because someone drew a '14' year old in a sexualised manner? Or because, upon calling it out I've been branded a paedophile by someone who insists that a miniskirt and restrictively-tight-in-the-chest-area clothes on a child are non-sexualised?

Entirely the former.
I can't see any grounds at all for Mon to call you a paedophile, if that's what "Lolicon" means.

[Gibberan]

I was referring to the course the conversation took, I wasn't trying to shove the blame on either party.

[United Kingdom of Poland]

A Company were dropped away from the target of Arnhem Bridge and had to go through Arnhem where the streets were blocked by German forces. Having no anti-tank weapons, Digby called for one and then led his men through the back gardens of nearby houses instead of attempting to advance through the streets and thus avoided the Germans.[1] Digby and A Company managed to travel 8 miles in 7 hours while also taking prisoner 150 Nazi soldiers including members of the SS. During the battle, Digby wore his red beret instead of a Brodie helmet and waved his umbrella while walking about the defences despite heavy mortar fire. When the Germans started using tanks to cross the bridge, Digby led a bayonet charge against them wearing a bowler hat. He later disabled a German armoured car with his umbrella by incapacitating the driver by shoving the umbrella through the car's observational slit.

This had me laughing so hard... British superiority at its finest, Smythe would be hard-pressed to follow-up a man like Digby!

Honestly my favorite bit of US History is the 1st Marines at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. They were utterly surrounded by the Chinese 9th Army, and were written off for lost. The Marines were cut off behind enemy lines, outnumbered nearly 30 to 1, and the Army had written the 1st Marine Division off as being lost because they were surrounded by 22 enemy divisions. Basically the entirety of the Chinese 9th Army. The Marines made it out inflicting the highest casualty ratio on an enemy in history and destroying 7 entire enemy divisions in the process. An enemy division is 16500+ men while a Marine division is 12500 men.

This gave rise to such badass quotes as:

"There are not enough chinamen in the world to stop a fully armed Marine regiment from going where ever they wont to go"

"Don't forget that you're First Marines! Not all the Communists in hell can overrun you!"

"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time!"

What? Me? A Chesty Puller fan? Nah, don't be ridiculous. I didn't have these quotes memorized or anything. Obviously.

Stop looking at me like that

honestly it seems that America is famous for doing everything wrong in warfare, and still coming out looking like badasses

[The Two Jerseys]

Aww, you shouldn't have.

@Len; Even so the 1st Marines still had like 25,000 men.

Though Kour will probably nitpick about you calling 41 Commando the 41st.

Fair enough

Still damn impressive though.

@Mon. Bend in flight goggles probably causes poor vision. No belt/carabiner to hold extra rounds. Skirt is far too short to be worth wearing in combat operations. Hair is unprofessionally and unsafely long. Rucksack too small to carry adequate provisions. Weapon too large to be used effectively except as anti-tank weapon, rendering the operator ineffective against infantry.

0/10, would not take into battle.

The goggles look like they're made of flat perspex panels, it's just not a good rendering. And you're missing the most egregious error, which is that the duck-egg blue stripe goes aft of the identification codes, so the stripe should be at her ankles instead.

As for the last page, I think Nightkill's quote in my sig says it all.

What did I do?

[Grenartia]

You do have to admire the ballsiness of the TWINE writers to come up with a such a ridiculous name for literally no other reason than a single, sickeningly awful pun.

Indeed.

No, it's not.

"HOW DO YOU NOT SEE IT?" -Sterling Archer

This is some fairly compelling evidence.

Indeed it is.

He quoted Archer, I have to believe him

Wow! Another Enterprise fan! I'm so happy to meet you!

I don't think they're the same Archer, but I too love Captain Archer.

Which reminds me... Somehow, some way, I wish we could somehow do an Enterprise crossover.

-Wait for it-

Oh my god.
Guys, we found the one person who liked Enterprise.

Three people (neverminding the others I know IRL who liked it).

Also, YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!

She has elf ears, yes.

DAMNING EVIDENCE!

She also has wings on her back, and a tail corresponding to the tail section of the BF-109. If the 109 was shoved up Link's ass, I doubt that it'd have the wings on the outside of his body, nor would it's wheels appear on the feet, or even have an external fuel tank strapped to the chest.

HOWEVER, WE COULD REASONABLY CONCLUDE THAT THE ACT OF FORCING AN AIRCRAFT UP SOMEONE'S RECTUM WOULD PERHAPS CAUSE THE AIRCRAFT'S STRUCTURE TO ACTUALLY COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE BODY'S STRUCTURE, CAUSING ELEMENTS OF THE PLANE"S FUSELAGE TO APPEAR ON THE BODY'S EXTERIOR!
...IF I HAD AN EXPERT WITNESS, I WOULD CALL FORTH HIS TESTIMONY AT THIS POINT!

But more importantly!
(Image)
Having a plane shoved up your ass would, under no circumstances, be cause for a hair color change,

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF HAIR DYE, MA'AM?!
I MOVE THAT THE HAIR COLOR SHIFT BE REGARDED AS ENTIRELY INCIDENTAL TO THIS CASE.

let alone a genderswap!

COUNTERPOINT: LINK HAS ALWAYS BEEN AMBIGUOUSLY METROSEXUAL!

As such, the evidence is irrelevant and null! Holding the preceding statement "tis true tho" as false!

BUT IT REMAINS TRUE, THO!

I OBJECT TO THE MISUSE OF THE WORD METROSEXUAL!

Your honor, the plaintiff has failed to provide an entirely credible counter-argument by using informal means as a basis for fact!
(Image)
I ask you that if a plane was shoved up your ass, what powers would force the wings to disappear off the fuselage and attach themselves to your back? What would make your feet turn into the landing gear? Such things are only possible through disassembling the machine and reattaching the parts onto one's body! This proves the original theory of the artist that this mix of woman and machine is, in fact, just a personification of the Messerschmidt BF-109 World War 2 era German fighter plane and not Link with a plane inserted up his cavity! Not only that, but what basis do you have for Link being interested in changing his sex and hair color?
(Image)

Of what relevance is whether or not Link has had a sex change? Also, how do we know a sex change has actually occurred?

Oh my god.
Guys, we found the one person who liked Enterprise.

Make that two.

@Kass; Wrong Archer.

There's more of us!

Make that two.

@Kass; Wrong Archer.

I know, they were talking about Bond-rip-off Archer...
As for your proclamation: I knew I liked you for some interesting reason!

Seriously though, I never did quite fully understand the reason why almost everybody hated Enterprise.

Neither did I. In fact, I found the story to be quite intriguing. And I for one, wish they could've actually gotten to covering the Romulan War (and avoiding the thing which I won't say because it'd spoil it for those who haven't watched that far).

GUYS? YOU HOLD A KANGAROO COURT AND YOU LEAVE ME OUT OF IT. *sniff* WHY?

I ASK YOU NOW: WAS IT WORTH IT?

I've trained you all well.


Anyway, in an attempt to get more than 4.5 hours of sleep a night and thus regain a modicum of actual energy and narrative productivity, I'm sacrificing making a post tonight in favor of sleep. Planning on one tomorrow.

This Brave should be an example to you.

It wasn't bad...it was horrendously worse than any of the other series.

I feel left out, too.

Also, no. Enterprise was one of the better series.

I think I once heard my mom's stepdad say that his drill sergeant made the platoon kiss a picture of Chesty Puller good night before they went to bed. Though he might've been yanking my chain...

But you're wrong...

I'm looking at the picture. It is not the picture of a non-sexualised fourteen year-old.

Indeed.

I'd dock in her port.

Anywho, I'm feeling a rather nasty case of writer's block. I'm going to take a day or two out. I figure, I just need to get the pressure to make a post off my mind, and I'll be able to actually make a post.
