Well it hasn't been a good 2 nights for me and it's looking to go even more downhill tonight unless I get some big games. To pass some of the boredom here at work and with my schedule/trades set for the next week or 2 I thought I'd do up a little humourous post to help the day go by faster. (2 more hours untill I go home!!) I'll start off by updating the Planet of the Eboons Rankings where it looks like I have some HEATED competition coming at me. It'll be tought for me to hold on any longer but I guess time will tell. Anyhow after the rankings I'll do a little summary on what an Eboon is exactly. You see there are different types of Eboons and to compete in this division you have to know what and who you're up against.

Eboon Defined:(e.boon)Any of several large, terrestrial American or Canadian monkeys of the family Fantasyaddictus, especially of the basketbalus, baseaballus or pigskinicus and related genera, characterized by an elongated Ego, red computer screen enduced eyes, a short temper towards proffesional athletes, and bare calluses on the buttocks from hours spent in front of computer monitors and big screen televisions. They do not ask for much in life other then to upstage their fellow Ebooners in month long challenges of wit and strategy and the occasional case of beer. Their diet consists mostly of greasy bags of chips and other salty delicasies.Here we will look at the 4 different types of Eboons that exist in our world today.


The Research Eboon


This Eboon is rarely seen. Constantly digging up more information and reading anything and everything at his disposal. Usually ranks amongst the highest Eboons in competition but lacks some of the social skills other Eboons possess.


The Arrogant Eboon



This Eboon thinks he is better then everyone else. He constantly focuses on how well he is doing and how poorly others around him are doing. He rarely will share any advice or opinions on anything meaningful but will gladly jump in anytime he can insult someone lower then him. This is the worst kind of Eboon. Stay away at all costs.


The Mid-Life Crises Eboon



This Eboon simply tries to hard. Usually an older member of the Eboon family who simply has trouble fitting in. They usually rank a lot lower then other Eboons because they spend most of their time trying to recapture their youth instead of focusing on what needs to be done. You can usually spot one of these Eboons easily because they constantly use phrases like "Hey guys, watch this" and "back when I was a kid"...


And last but not least...

The Guru



This is the Eboon of all Eboons. If you meet one of these fellows grab onto him and hang on tight! Guru Eboons spend most of their lives helping other Eboons out. They create websites, assimilators, and usually will come out of hiding once a day to give their daily blurbs about the fantasy world around them.These Eboons are hard workers and usually don't get much in return, other then the love and affection of fellow Eboons.


Thanks for all the hard you've done Guru, I think I speak for many other Eboons out there when I say I wouldn't even be playing smallworld sports if it wasn't for you and this site. Keep up the good work and hopefully us Eboons will reward you with some donations to keep the site living on forever.

The Associated Federation Against Clown Stalkers

"We don't clown around."


Help, I'm being Stalked!

So, you think that you are being stalked by a clown.

We are very sorry, but don't worry, you are not alone. Estimates have it that at any give time, there is at least one million people who have their very own personal clown stalker. Thanks to these numbers, we have been able to come up with ways to thwart this threat, at least on a personal scale.

There are three telltale signs that you are being stalked by a clown:

1. You have seen clown where they shouldn't be, e.g., at the foot of your bed, or dashing around a corner.

2. You have had dreams about clowns, stalkers or a combination of the two.

3. You have often experienced the prickly feeling at the back of your neck that means someone is watching you.

If you have experienced any of these symptoms, the only safe thing to do is assume that you are being stalked by a clown. Failure to do so could result in the clowns taking you away.

Being stalked by a clown is a terrible thing, but it can be combated. The head of this organization, Murano, has been stalked by clowns for over two years, and yet is still here. Read on for tips on how to keep your back safe:

1. Don't show fear! This is one of the most important things to do when you are being stalked by a clown. If a clown knows that you are fearful of them, that will encourage them. If a clown stalker feels too encouraged, you will not be around much longer. By controlling your visible fear, you can keep clown stalkers at a safe distance.

2. Watch your back. If you feel that a clown stalker is in the same room as you, protect yourself. Move into a position where you can keep your back to the wall, while viewing as much of the room as you can. While hand-to-hand combat with clown stalkers is extremely rare, it does happen occasionally, so one must be ready.

3. Contact the AFACS, and become a member. Clown stalkers are aware of our organization, and they are aware of the protections that membership brings. They are much more hesitant to attack a member of the AFACS.

Clown Stalker.

This phrase brings fear to the hearts of right thinking, right minded people everywhere. It is a phrase of pure evil, representing all that is evil with the world. Some people blame themselves, others the Devil. At the AFACS, we blame clown stalkers.

According to the dictionary, a clown is:

clown (kloun)
n.


A buffoon or jester who entertains by jokes, antics, and tricks in a circus, play, or other presentation.
One who jokes and plays tricks.
A coarse, rude, vulgar person; a boor.
A peasant; a rustic.
To stalk is to:

stalk2 (stôk)
v. stalked, stalk·ing, stalks.
v. intr.

To walk with a stiff, haughty, or angry gait: stalked off in a huff.
To move threateningly or menacingly.
To track prey or quarry.

In other words, a clown stalker is a buffoon or jester who entertains, gone wrong, that now tracks prey or quarry.

With clown stalkers, YOU are the prey.

However, it may be that a little more information is required. Many wonder about why clowns are the only ones that we are scared of, why clowns would do this, and what exactly a clown stalker does, besides stalking you. Read on for more information.

Almost everyone is afraid of clowns, or knows someone who is afraid of clowns. We are afraid for a reason. Quite frankly, clowns are evil. I know that there are people who couldn't get any other job, and its not really their fault, but it is an almost proven fact that the pressures of being a clown turn people bad.

Being laughed at constantly, placed over and over again in a place of ridicule, embarrassment, can turn even the most saintliest person bad, deep inside. Deep inside, there are myriad feeling buried resentfully, yearning to lash out at the society that laughs at them, and gain revenge for the hideous fate that is being a clown. For some people, these yearnings are buried less deep than others.

It is in these people, the weaker ones, that clown stalkers are born. Some people cannot repress the dark urges, and they turn to them for solace, they become them. Most of the clown stalkers in operation today are circus clowns gone bad. These clowns have banded together, to enact their revenge on all those who have ever laughed at them, or screamed at them, or ever feared them.

How do clown stalkers do this? How do they make their victims pay? Strangely enough, the first clown stalkers were inspired by someone who was never a clown. Steven King. After reading his best-selling book It, where an evil clown named Pennywise terrorizes schoolchildren, real life clowns decided that this was the only way to go about it. After all, most of the terror in our lives comes from the thought that we might be in danger, but we can't do anything about it.

With that in mind, clown stalkers begun stalking. They pick a victim, and then follow them everywhere, always dressed as a clown. They will never be in full sight of their victim, but will often strategically give their victim a quick glimpse of them, just to remind them that they are still there, waiting. They are waiting to take you away.

No one knows what happens when the clowns take you away, as no one has ever come back. All we know is that you disappear, and that you never come back.

However, while this menace is terrifying, it can be prevented. I, the head of the AFACS, am a victim of clown stalkers myself. I have lived with them for two years, and, thanks to my carefully planned tactics, have remained in this world. If you are a victim of this terror, do not panic. You can be saved.

Dude- You rule. This is the PS I know, not the crossover cat.
Notice the fall in rank since joining the EBOONS?
Coincidence? I think not.
My advice? Come back to the dark side.. and drop f@(king Vitaly!!

He probably stopped because everyone and their grandmother is joining the division now..
It's kinda funny logging on each day and finding a new person at #1, whose name we don't see in these posts..

Oh well..

I'm only 76 pts away from #1 in the WORLD in three-for-all!
Thanks Foyle!

Some sad news to pass on today. Peanut, brother of the beloved Nutty was arrested on charges of attempted murder this afternoon. Peanuts was seeking revenge for his little brother, who was murdered by local Gurupie Supersonica earlier in the week. Sadly Peanut was put to sleep shortly after his arrest. R.I.P. Peanut.

I scored a total 436 SWP in the last 2 days (Tuesday & Wednesday) So my total SWP is 3341. We can't really see updated Eboon rankings because of Smallworlds problems but I was just wondering how all the other Eboons are doing?

which 5 PS? How did you do getting rid of all them clippers?

I have Duncan, DA, Camby, and Allen going tonight.
My team is Life of Agony is case you were unaware.
Sittin tight somewhere in the middle of the pack, yet only 150 points (or less if we could manage to get things updated) behind. What a tight group we got!

PS- did you mention you had a Baseball division going? I must say Baseball is the most fun of all of these smallworld games. I am sure most would agree.

Camby
Potapenko
Oiwakandi

I'm working on a webpage for planet of the eboons, it's looking very cool already. I used to have a couple sites running but with my new job didn't have time to run them anymore so I sold them off. Anyhow I'll post the addy of the site when it's up.

If you want in the eboon baseball league it's the same as basketball

Lute - No probs! I've now updated the thread with the link to find out last nights SWP for MS.

Depressing when I only got 2 guys going in one night.. managed 74 SWP from Camby & Anderson - not too bad.

Only have 7 going tonight.... Oooo - I may lend you the lead for one night PS, but just to make you feel better! ;)

Just worked out the top 4 manually - here we go:
1. PS 3476
2. WFS 3468
3. Lute 3464.5
4. GDogg 3445.5

OK.. Make that 2 nights I'll lend you the lead PS! :)

Can't get much closer than that! Great stuff!

I would just like to report that there has been a siting of one of the rarest Eboons in these parts.

The Humbled Eboon


They are often recongized by there disbelieving stare the majority of this breed suddenly become quite solitary taking refuge in surrouding shrubery to avoid the Eboons whom they used to love to play with so much. There is still hope for this unfortunate breed but once they take on these characteristics there days become numbered.

I gotta tell ya CP... this has been a humbling week. I can't remember the last time so many of my players got injured, played rotten, were benched by the coach, decided to take a night off, etc. all in the same week!

I'm still in 146th place as of today, but I gotta tell ya... the fact that I am still rated so high has to be from the fact that so many other people took similar hits, because it sure ain't because of the points I have been making!
