The GZG ECC VI Quote Board

Greetings!

Below is the (in)famous GZG ECC Quote Board for ECC VI. Note, due to
handwriting styles being rather drastically different, some of what
was actually written on the board may not have been transcribed
properly (did my best). Also, there were a few quotes that had no
attributes, and thus are marked "Unknown". I tried to give some
background info to the quote when it was either known [by me] or
written down by the contributor. In any event, feel free to send me
corrections so we can get the amended version of this up on the website
(and if you feel a quote is missing, post it; I only transcribed what
was on the pages of the Quote Board). Some of the inflections are lost
in this transcibing, and that is a shame. Perhaps one day we will have
audio recordings instead. ;-)  In the mean time, enjoy the read, and
put in place anyone's tone, accent (such as Stuart's rather dry British
accent), inflection in places as you might know it.

Tomb, to Stuart playing in another game - "Stuart, you've been killed
and raised from the dead by Jon of Needham…"
Stuart - "I would have expected nothing less."

Carl Scheu (while rolling threshold checks) - "Oh, SCREW me!"
Bill Spring (who just happened by) - "Probably not something you want
to walk in on."

During Jon Davis' Battle for Huntington DSII scenario, Dan Blezak rolls
and fails to close assault Constitutionalist militia. Stuart looks at
his figs and says - "That's probably because they're all facing the
wrong direciontion." (then he fixes them for Dan)

Laserlight (in FMA-Frag!) - "Now that Adrian is out of the game, we're
all going to have to stop and think about who we're going to shoot."

hull boxes left."
