And Werner, I definitely wouldn't be having one with someone who appears to have been out of toilet paper for a good 3 months.
The troubles in the middle east, American elections etc. runs up the oil prices and then we suffer here.
Fig leaves are surprisingly soft actually and make an adequate substitute though...

Unfortunately here in Australia almost everything is poisonous, so if we run short of the former (never the latter) falling back on the local flora usually results in some rather nasty complications. As I've already recently confessed in another thread to an incident involving my cat's claws and my privates I reckon we should probably change the subject now.

Excellent posts, RC. Maggoteer was a riot, we had a couple beers together at Hoyt's pub. Tenebr8 was a really nice guy, and he became quite a good player.
Edit! Since this thread is a bit nostalgtastic - maggoteer created the web page to keep track of the US vs ROW clash. I think I played the owner of a vacuum and sewing store in South Carolina, USA that went on to have a war with a graphical designer from Peterborough, England (which in itself spawned some very good spin-off web sites)!

Great stuff RC,it certainly brought back some memories. You are right Bennett,Maggoteer had me in stitches many a time. I still remember him monitoring the progress of his fruit flies,hilarious stuff.
I also remember a guy called rigormortis I think? He was one of the better players those days.
Does anyone remember howard? Was funny in an eddie anders stylee. Fond of a drink too! He was another that just disappeared.
IMNOHERO is another that sticks in the mind for some reason. Anyone remember him? Seemed like a genuinely nice guy. In October, in the aftermath of September 11th, 2001, he posted saying that he was going to be helping out with the relief efforts and wouldn't be online. Never returned. Was around about the time of satri_tar_1 up near the top of the leaderboard. Mike Bergkamp was there or thereabouts too.
MartinS used to be a pretty frequent poster too. As did, ahem, stevens et al.
More recently I remember when Luck first started posting. The man is the definition of infectious enthusiasm. Played about half dozen games with him simultaneously over the course of an evening/night one time, blitzing away. Was moving as fast as I can trying to keep up, and then he starts berating me for not moving fast enough! And this was whilst he was in addition blitzing games against other people at the same time! Prolly my most enjoyable RHP moment.

Whenever I think of a "RHP Legend", Rhymester always springs to mind. When I first joined the site one of the major attractions for me was chatting with Rhymester in the forums. That was way back in the day when the site wasn't so big, and hence the forums were much smaller(Feb. '03 to be exact). Had some good laughs with that guy. I hope I don't sound sentimental, but I miss those days. He was a big shot of the site (original this, original that, MAP, etc.), but to this day he's one of the coolest cats I've met here.
To the master of rhyme, I tip my hat.

Just did a search on google for rhymester map war, and this is what came up:-

This page is legend-assuring in itself, particularly the Bush caption: http://hometown.aol.co.uk/rhymsta/rhpmapwar2.html
