a everyone,

Okay, GZG ECC is officially over (and given I haven't seen any email
come
through, either the server is fritzed again, or I'm just not receiving
anything :( ). While attendance was a little bit down from the past (for
multiple reasons), we had a handful of first-timers stop by and get in
some
games. Seemed most everyone had a good time overall, with a good number
of
good games being run. We had some VERY good entries for the painting
contest, as well! And the prizes they won were commensurate with the
work
they did.

Okay okay okay! I could go on for a while, talking at a high level about
the
convention, but we all know why you really opened this email - to read
the
darn quote board entries! :-D  So, without further rambling, I present
you
with....

*GZG ECC XII*

*Quote Board 2009*

*Friday Evening:*

Unknown: “Jerry fought the Quote Board…and lost”

Jerry: “That’s not fair!”

Keith Frye: “Since you’ve already played ‘Striker II’, you’ll
understand
better…”

Megan H: “Yes, I’ll start the game ANGRY!”

Indy (while rolling initiative) : “Okay, beat a 5!”

Ken Wang: “6!!”

Aaron Newman (as Indy’s & Jerry Han’s fleets interpose) : “Is that
some sort
of docking maneuver?”

Stuart Murray: “It’s REALLY sticky there!”

Stuart: “Tom…you’ve been reactivated for a purpose…KILL!”

*Saturday Morning/Afternoon/Evening:*

Noam: “Door prize donuts! Excellent!!”

Benj Izenberg: “I’m too young to die!”
Keith Frye: “Target the boy.”

Jerry Han: “Man, just chipping away at that truck.”
Noam: “No, chunking away at that truck”

Ron: “Wait a second…if I can see your flamethrower, your
flamethrower can
see me!”

The car wars table group: “Ohh! Oohh!! OOHHHH!!! WOOH!!! <applause>”

Later, same table: “OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!”
Jon Davis (GM of table) : “YEAH!! RRR!”

Megan Haithcock: “What? You’re going to be a jerk? {Ken Wang rolls
and
misses} BUT NUTHIN’!”

Megan Haithcock (with a camera) : “Gimme a ‘banzai’, guys!”

Jerry Han: “Banzai!”
Ken Wang: “Banzai!”

Indy (after noticing only a few people left at the car wars table) :
“The
population seems to have…dwindled.”

Jon D : Of course. We’ve got rid of all The Jerks’

Ken Wang: “When a gas tank explodes, is there collateral damage?”

Jon Davis: “Of course! Do you have to ask the question?”

Ken: “We would never drive our cars this way, these are rental
cars.”

Carl S: “If I get a +1 to a six…”
Noam: “That would be a seven.”

Unknown: “I’ll take another shot at the wedding party!”

Stuart M: “Jon? We told you we could cheer?”
Jon D nods
Stuart and Greg D: “Yay.”

Aaron Newman (after watching Tom fail a mind control roll on a female
opponent) : “The mind of a woman remains a mystery.”

Steve Barosi (one sentient entity’s trash…) “There are some bodies
on the
ground now, that’s nice.”

Stuart Murray: “I like playing for fun. I don’t necessarily want to
see his
orders.”

Jon Davis: “_I_ want to see his orders!”

Kevin Chase (after his ship was vaporized) : “We are an artfully
burning
wreck.”

Stuart Murray: “I’m going to fire on a target I haven’t fired on
in a lonnng
time.”
Indy: “That would be me.”
Stuart: (smiles and rolls…)

Later, Stuart Murray: “I’m going to shoot at Indy…(measures
angle)…damn! I
can’t!”
Greg Davis: “But I can…”

Greg D’s cruiser is shot down just as his hyperdrive activates

Kevin Chase: “Pieces of you are going to come out the other end.”

Greg: “I’m a flak grenade through time and space.”

Noam (looking at the SSD of a rather fragile ship) : “Man, a p-torp
would
eviscerate that thing…that’s my favorite new word this weekend,
‘eviscerate’.”

Derek Rogillio: “It’s (the quote board) is a little light. I
haven’t been
involved in a game yet this weekend that wasn’t really intense. Which
is
good, but the Quote Board suffers.”

Martin C: “…so you fail there--”

Mike H: “Oh, come on! How much more can I do??”

Carl: “5 of your fighters are destroyed but you only lose 4”

Scott: “So 4 fighters are gone”

Carl: “No, 5 are destroyed but you only lose 4”

Scott: “Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!”

Lisa Johnson: “Vince, I’m going upstairs…”
Vince: “Okay, hon.

Carl: “Mind if I come along?”

Vince: “No, we don’t want you to come along. We are not into
beastiality
yet, Carl.”

*Sunday Morning:*

Kevin: “I’ll take the Feds. We have snazzy paint jobs and names you
can say
without spitting”

Indy (to Noam) : “Okay, talk to me…”
Benj: “Hiiiiiii….”

Indy (to Noam playing with a new toy) “What is that, an electronic
die?”

Noam (as the LED die shows a ‘1’ pip) “That’s you rolling a
p-torp”

Erik Kochte: “I’m not unimportant. I’m insignificant. There’s a
BIG
difference.”

Mike H (in reference to facing plasma bolts) “The  shakes I have are
not
from caffeine.”

Damo: “There’s no point in rolling. You fail.”

Aaron Newman: “And if the ships collide it will be adjudicated in a
manner
which amuses me”

Indy: “I’m gonna fire my salvo missiles at his dreadnought”

Mike H: “Which one? We have a LOT of big dreadnoughts”

Scott B: “We’ll pause while the French figure out which ship
they’re on.”

Aaron Newman: “This shark rolls a d12, but only a d6 on the dock.”
Crowd: “On the DOCK?!?!?”
