Umm tosh, you do know that later in the game the Valk you buy from the black market WILL be lower than the valk now, we just lack the code to do so now :P
/BIC(go pens!)

You have struck upon good points, barbarian, but I am curious as how you can speak to one who is dead, for all evidence we have found points to nothingness after death. As well, being technocrats, we have constructed devices to control our biological functions, not that your heathen brain can understand the usefullness of these mind you, but I tell about them anyway.

We Itani do not send our pilots on suicide missions, and word I have recieved has told us that even when we attack your borders, we sustain no heavy losses, and we always beat you dogs from the sector. I do not have the patience to put up with your petty lies, if you think you Serco are winning, why have we Itani not lost a sector to your vile clutches yet in this war?

ctishman:

Remember when useing n00bs in said pie to always cook in 1/4 cup bleach and 1/4 cup liquid charcoal to remove impurities. Also said pies must be marked "Fresh Meat" to avoid "the curse of the n00b".
Nov 29, 2003 ctishman link
I don't know. The bleach and charcoal add a bit of a bite to it. Personally, I prefer to just boil the heck out of it.

Oh yeah, and if you Itani cowards have any recipes to share, go right ahead.

If that's how you're going to be, then:

Space Cow Bake,

Prep. Time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 2 days
Serves: 15
Ingredients:
25 lbs Red Space Cow steak
1 Large Onion
1 Dismembered Serconian arm
5 tsp Red Pepper
4 tsp Paprika
7 tsp Nraak's powdered Serco
5 tsp Ground orange peel
7 tsp Black peppercorns
3 tsp Whole Clovers
4 Vysrulian Potatoes (Maybe subsitituted for 16 TPG Synth potatoes, but you will regret it)
5 lbs Carrot
4 lbs of each Greenbeans, Barley, Corn
25 Cups water

Sterilize the Serconian arm, grab your ingredients, and let us begin!
First, use the now cleansed arm to beat the Space cow steak until it is soft to the touch. Place 24 cups of water, the Paprika, the Pepper, Potatoes, and all the vegetables into a large glass baking pan and set them to bake at 400 degrees in your TPG Self-cleaning oven. While those are baking, Place the onion and the remainder of the water into a frying dish, then place the meat into the dish and fry over a high flame, or until the steak assumes the flavor of the onion. Remove the steak and then proceed to work in the powdered Serco, the peppercorns, and the orange peel. When that is finished, stick the whole clovers into the steak at depths of 1 or 2 inches. Place the steak, the onion, and any water left in the frying dish into the baking pan. Lower the temperature of the TPG oven to 200 degrees and let sit for 2 days, added an extra cup of water in every 3 hours. Take the steak out and Serve warm with Thallan ale.

Do remember that a Serco is only ever useful once, so remember not to reuse a Serconian appendage, even if it was sterilized!

Serconian stuffed pig :D

Ingredients:
1 living serconian warrior, preferrably healthy.
salt
minced meat
an assortment of flavoured fruits and vegetables
1 big pan
1 big campfire
1 big stake
a whole lot of herbs

Receipt:

Take the living serconian, drug him so he wont run/doze off but experience pain to a higher degree.
lay him on a big bench

Peel his skin off, like when you are willing to make a leather jacket.

Take the salt and cover his bleeding exterior completely with it.

let it dry for a split second and do the salting again. "dont forget he is still alive"
---------
This part is optional:
Take the big pan and smash it on the victim untill all his bones are broken
------------
Stick a big spoon up his *** and get out all the soft bad material, like intestins, heart, if you did the optional part the bones, ... "like you would do when you are stuffing a pig"

Sterilize the pan and then lightly fry the vegetables and the minced meat in the big pan with the adding of sufficient herbs

Stuff the still dozy serconian with this preparation untill the moment that if you would add more, it would come out in front.
Put a big red apple in his mouth and sew it shut. "Yes I know, he is still alive, but it adds to the flavor".
Sew his back shut so the minced meat and the vegetabless and all cant come out from that side.
Now either dependant if your one of your family was an ingredient of the Itani Pie.

If relative was ingredient:
You take a big stake and spleen him on it.
if not:
You take the big stake, show some compassion and just put him around it with ductape or stitches or ...

If this has been completed, then the sedative will shortly stop being effective. So before that happens, put him above the big campfire and turn him around. After a couple of secs the sedative is worked out and luckilly that we sew the mouth shut or we would have heard a serconian screaming pig.

Now turn this around and around untill his meat is nicely cooked. This can easilly take up 1 - 2 days.

Serconian are tough creatures after all.

If prepared, bon appetit. It will be tastier then a stuffed pig :D

/me thinks this was a good try, now was it :D. I hope it will encourage you guys to stop testing our creative mind. Because if we begin, then no warrior can stop us. Not even if this is an insane or strategical serconian mastermind "I know, as if they even have a basic knowledge of strategics, but you need to give them the benefit of the doubt"

cheers
Nov 30, 2003 HumpyThePenguin link
oh yeah, strategic, thats why they lost gamma outpost to us the other day..and we have yet to lose a single meter of our territory to them in this war

Renegade: where's the orange peel?
Nov 30, 2003 Daon Rendiv link
Ooooo!

The mighty itani with the sharp toung (as said by the serco with the lose spelloing) forgot what to do with the orange peel. Quick save a copy before he edits.

And rene, remeber that many serconians have ancient celtic roots and thus have insane drug resistance so be sure those are horse tranquilizers or better.
Dec 01, 2003 Renegade ++RIP++ link
These are elephant tranquilisers to say the least. But Dont forget we are brilliant scientists, if I say so myself, so our concotions are of sufficient potency.

PS: about the orange peel, I didnt want to fall in a total cliché and left that part out. Is that good enough for you gals :D.
Dec 01, 2003 toshiro link
ah, rene, you grasshopper...

although we warriors of the searing flame are known to be of utmost strength and resistance, there is no way we can stay alive without out inner organs, much less scream with out them. i suggest you revise your recipe :)


as for your 'superior strategical intellect' and your technocracy:

we never denied you your superior technocratical advantages, we just took them from you (no need to waste money on research when you can raid the knowledge from your neighbour).

but to say that we have no knowledge of strategies is an attack on our pride i can not let go unanswered.
it is by observations and cunning that the Serco Dominion easily pulled ahead of the poorly governed Itani Nation in caps back in the old days (3.2.12), also known as "stealth caps". even though that is nothing new, it still proves you wrong. as always, i have to remind you to check the consistency of our argumentation ;)

back to the technological and scientifical advantage: it is true, we Sons and Daughters of Serco pay more heed to the call of the nine muses as well as Ares' and Artemis'. but it is also by that means that we hone our skills to par your vile, lifeless machinery.

Now for my recipe...

Itani Buns

to begin with, you need four healthy Itani captives (basically, neither age nor sex matter, but it is preferrable that they are not younger than 18 and not older than 25, since it is during that time that they form the best compromise between tenderness and quantity of meat). since it has been proven that you need not scare them before you slay them, because that would result in a surge of stress hormones which are bad for your health, you should allow them to rest, have them served their meals regularly at least during a week and kill them immediately and in a way that they don't notice before preparing the dish.

after having slain three of them (tell the last one they were set free, whatever makes his grass grow) and carve them up, use their flesh and bones to make a hearty broth ith enough water so that all the bones are covered in the pot.

reduce the broth to a quarter of its original volume. never cover the pot, or it shall become turbid, which is not what we need (it looks gross).

after having reduced the broth, butcher the last captive and carve the meat so that you receive pieces about as large as the palm of your hand.
prepare dough suitable for white bread. there should be enough dough that you can make as many buns as there are pieces of meat. let it rest for a while.

while waiting for the dough to be ready, prepare the pieces of itani as you like them, but be wary: if you suspise the captives of being aware of your wanting to kill them, they have to be well done, as they may have used some biochemical agent. if you are unsure whether the poison will be degraded by boiling it, you should simply get a new one during the next covert-ops mission.

envelop the meat with dough so that you get nice, round buns.
bake them in an oven that is hot enough to boil Promethean Prime Water (200°C in the old system).

if you find that the meat boiled in your bun, you did not bake it hot enough. it is imperative that the meat be only heated, not cooked by the oven.

serve the broth with the bun. this makes for a wholesome lunch. Serco Ale greatly enhances the taste.
Dec 01, 2003 ctishman link
Mmm. Serve me up some of those the next time we meet!
Dec 01, 2003 Renegade ++RIP++ link
/me serves ctishman a serconian Stuffed pig. Your request is my demand :D

No need to revise my receip, as I already stated, our sedative not only sedates you, but in the meanwhile keeps you alive and able to scream for the preparation time. Its a all purpose concotion :D

Ow and dont try to ask for the formula, it is one of our best hidden secrets. That not even the serconians will ever be able to take away.

PS: that raided technology that you are so boasting about, are our scrap outdated last years metal tired models. That we have all tagged with intraceable sensors , so we are able to track every of your movement. So in the future your stealth caps are impossible. Since these sensors have multiplied themselves on your entire fleet as well the ones in production as the ones in stock/action :D

Dec 01, 2003 toshiro link
Ku, whenever you venture in my mess hall, you'll be greeted with fresh Itani Buns and Broth, you have my word. just let me know 1-2 days beore you arrive, or else the cook will start to hate me (that meal takes awfully long to prepare, what with low-stress-hormone killing and whatnot)

rene, your reply is to me is as the bark of a dog is to a grizzly :)
if your technology was so outdated, why do we still see the best of your pilots still using it and it alone? and why is it handed out to your unskilled cannon fodder? questions piling up, can you sufficiently answer them?
and if you should ask for an example:
the valk is, although difficult to acquire, attainable by every moderately skilled pilot from either the Searing Flames or the Golden Realms. It is not a monopoly you have, pre-washed (watery blue) ones!

and yes, you _do_ need to revise your recipe. because it is simply impossible to scream with your inner organs, hence also your lungs and especially your heart, removed. if you'd "dig" until you reach the tissue that parts the digestive from the respiratory and circulatory organs (sorry, haven't studied medicine, and what's more, english isn't my first language. i simply lack the terminology) and then stop removing the remaining contents, i'd partially agree with you. but if you treat one of my brothers in arms with the big pan (the optional treatment), you'd have to break every bone in his body, hence also his skull, and by breaking his cranium, you'll almost inevitably kill him.
if you don't do that, he might survive just long enough to experience a short surge of pain after the effects of the sedative wear off, pass out (that can be trained, and every Daughter or Son of Lady Serco is trained to that degree) and all your meticulous preparations (i'll give you that) are for nought.

about your remark that we should not want to test your ...ehehe... "creativity"...

no Daughter or Son of the divine Lady shirks an encounter, be it diplomatic, belligerent or intellectual in nature. instead, we search the conflict with our enemies to test our mettle.
Dec 01, 2003 HumpyThePenguin link
We give our outdated technology to the less skilled ones among us, so as not to bring great pain to our treasury when you barbaric Serco jemp a lone recruit and claim their right to live. You boast of such feats as if you are taking the lives of our most powerful pilots, but you have not earned this boast, and may the gods strike you down for it.
Dec 01, 2003 HumpyThePenguin link
Better yet, may our forces crush your barbaric hides
Dec 01, 2003 Renegade ++RIP++ link
if your technology was so outdated, why do we still see the best of your pilots still using it and it alone?

You are under the illusion that you see an outdated valk, but in reality it is exactl the oposite, just so you wont be able to just pick off the more advanced pilots out of the blue "excuse me my pun :D", but are in the presumption that you are facing either a lot of vets or a lot of newbies. Either case, it will have positive effect for us and a detrimental effect for you.

and why is it handed out to your unskilled cannon fodder?

The ones that are flown by newbies, are exactly the same outdated ships, with 1 mayor difference, their metal isnt metal tired and therefore can withstand 1 or 2 rockets more then the serconian or the neutralium :D

questions piling up, can you sufficiently answer them?

I Think i just did this :D


and if you should ask for an example:
the valk is, although difficult to acquire, attainable by every moderately skilled pilot from either the Searing Flames or the Golden Realms. It is not a monopoly you have, pre-washed (watery blue) ones!

the ships you presume to be a valk, are nothing else then rained down versions of our most priced possession. It is what a tolex is to a rolex.

<snip>
and yes, you _do_ need to revise your recipe. because it is simply impossible to scream with your inner organs
</snip>

I think you meant without :D. But we already found a method for being able to let someone scream and keep alive to feel the pain that we inflict on them. I have to admit that the scream sounds slightly metallic, but a serconian has always been a slight dronelike creature. Following like a slave that so called misstress. It demeanes the warriorspirit. It looks more like male serconians are dominated by their women "do I hear drow :D" in stead of equals like itani men and itani women :D

Now to go on about your so called not being able to feel pain. you know that we are technocrats and that we have invented quazillion devices, and one of these devices is by accident a mini basic mechanisms to keep non - itani people in suspended animation even if all their vital organs are disemboweled, at the same time it enhances any painstimuli with a factor 1000 if it pingpoints a certain sedative in their bloodstream.

PS: as a little sidenote, did I say that we smashed the skull? No I didnt, how else can you keep the apple nicely positioned in the mouth of the recipient.

Yes toshi, you always search for mettle, but as you might have noticed, you always come out down under. For less illiterate people, this means that we "Itani" come out on top, with as usual the neutrals in the middle :D and last and least the serco.

But I have to admit, your lady and lord are known for their attempts, yes, attempts to get rid of their followers :D. Sending them on suicide missions :D, like attacking our vast and well defended borders

cheers
Nov 28, 2003 HumpyThePenguin link
You primitive Serco heathens are no match for our knowledge in the many intracacies of space. Itani might builds the life support modules you heathens need to live.
You are but dogs to our cause, dogs who plead for scrap from the great tables of our mighty armies. You slave trade will be quashed by our ace pilots, turning your cooks into the likes of Martha Stewart trying to cok without using stem cells for taste.

Go dogs, and do not bother the Itani with your stench, and if you do not go, we will wash down your unclean and barbaric hides!
Nov 28, 2003 fenix link
wash?

Hell, I'm not washing any of THOSE, they're nasty...
Nov 29, 2003 ctishman link
Go right ahead. I'll just remember to boil yours first.
