burlesque [ber-LESK] noun, adjective, verb, -lesqued, -lesquing.

-noun

1. an artistic composition, esp. literary or dramatic, that, for the sake of laughter, vulgarizes lofty material or treats ordinary material with mock dignity.

2. any ludicrous parody or grotesque caricature.

3. a humorous and provocative stage show featuring slapstick humor, comic skits, bawdy songs, striptease acts, and a scantily clad female chorus.


Yeah, that pretty much sums up Team Server...


Seriously though, those definitions sound very much like the relationship between the Team and Alliance Servers, especially the first. The majority of players consider Alliance the dominant server and treat Team like a side project or worse - a Farce. The only way this server can ensure its survival is for a significant number of its players to consider it their primary server. But I digress.


So since this server is a vaudevillian melodrama, who are the players? I invite everyone to weigh in on who can play what role!

Its my thread so I get to go first.


Any good melodrama needs a villain. The obvious choice is RD. They are the ultimate bad guys, always antagonizing the server and pushing everyone's buttons. Many of them even wear black capes and sport handlebar mustaches [unconfirmed].

And every villain needs a foil, a target for their antics. In the truest "Keystone Cops" tradition, RD has found a motley crew of individuals from multiple tags that all decry their lawlessness, but who have so far proven completely inept to do anything other than help them achieve their goals.

Last but not least, every melodrama needs its comedians. The role of the Fool is being filled perfectly by FBI, and they appear to love playing it.

*bows*

Though....I think I take that offensively but that will be determined by the answer to the following question. Does the fool sleep with women and have large peni?

Because if that is the case....NAILED IT.

If those are the requirements then I must be a genius of Einstein like proportions :(

I vote for definition #3

"3. a humorous and provocative stage show featuring slapstick humor, comic skits, bawdy songs, striptease acts, and a scantily clad female chorus."

Mary wont be a virgin for much longer...

you mean I actually have to bring kleenex to this forum?:P

There are 19 users who only play on the team server. Over 80% of team players also play on the alliance server.

The Keystone Kops were VASTLY more competent then the anti-RD-trolling (ART) coalition. We are not so much about thwarting them as we are about taunting them . . . and bleeding on them.

Who let Zen out!

I only play on Team Server. I have a country on Alliance but I stopped playing, and probably wont ever go back.

well it just got more interesting

Now confirmed, I actually sport handlebar moustaches occasionally. See facebook for proof.





Inept? Maybe...but that's a little harsh, I would say they have delusions of grandeur



I warn you once not to call ZEN and Detmer fools. You don't know whose toes you are stepping on. These guys mean business and whille fluff you into submissions for minutes to come!!!

<3 Zen & Detmer



Love,

I really did just post 4 different versions of that......

charfail lol

These days the term fool is a lot more derogatory than how I meant for it to be intended. If FBI feels I owe them an apology, I offer it willingly. If needed I can also edit my post and change fool to jester, a term which I reckon would be no less accurate.

to be accurate you would need to change fool to sex machines

Refresh much?
Or auto-browser refresh..hmmm?

i think what viceroy meant was that zen and his crew of fools are more jokers, or clown shoe wearing clowns rather then plain ol run of the mill fools.

Mr. C is very jealous. He doesn't like anyone talking about us. Like a spurned lover. It's all of those BJ's, I am sure of it.

Viceroy - We considered it a compliment. We are fools. We are jesters. We are foolish jesters. So thanks!

I love you all.
