I love bolo! I found bolo sites today whilst browsin' the net. Its been four years or so since I played it, at school we used to play it every lunchtime if we couldn't play football.
It was addictive, we had 16 player fights all the time. There was 2 older guys when I was younger who got everyone into the game, then when they left they handed down a disk with all the special maps and stufff. I got the disk coz Raider rules bolo. Heh-heh. 8)
Anyway I'm tryin' to play online now with a guy called redsquad, but I have a mac and he has pc with winbolo, so will we be able to play? :?:
Simply, no. Not compatible you can only play against someone who has a mac.
i have such a similiar story its not funny. grade 5 wed play fuxing every day, and all grade 5s would go against the grade 7's...... but we didnt really know how to play :P we always played everard island, either open or strict, and wed just suicide pills to get them. i was the base guarder. i stayed at base and built huge ass walls n mines n stuff. it was soooo fukkin fun. then one day i remembered it and decided to see if i could get it 4 windows.....i found THIS! W0000T
Hey Raider, you in the Uk? I used to play Bolo on the Mac back in my school days and I guy I knew used that name. Just wondering if by some small coincidence you were that guy?
Ess-K :twisted:
Yeh I'm in the UK, was at GGS, doubt we were at same school. If we were then I woulda bet ya. :P
Yeah, I went to Grantown to my son, who are you though? Ryan?
If you are then you will remember me under my old Bolo name of 'SandKing'. :D
Anyway, don't think we really got on back in the day but never mind, older n'wiser and all that eh
Ess-K :twisted:
Ess-K, where've you been? It's been a while. Get your Scottish ass over to #winbolo someday! Bring your broadsword, too.
Disclaimer: No innuendos intended anywhere in this post.
hehe, the reason I have been away Nova is I have been hunting the eliusive haggis beast and drinking whiskey. You know, Scottish things likee that :wink:
But, now that I have proven my self as a man/haggis hunter I can re-integrate with society again and return to the the green pastures (with the occasional mine crater) of WinBolo. How you been anyway dude?
Anyway, gotta go now, so much porn, so little time
Ess-K :twisted:
I've been great. Um... I think the whiskey is to blame for the sightings of these "haggis-beast" hunts.
I'm Kevs brother. Was in the same year as Rory and his mate (Mathew). Your name sounds familiar so I probably do know you. Haven't heard from all that lot in years, not a bad thing mind.
Anyway, back to stuff
Ess-K :twisted:
Kev's brother, lol ok I remember now, I was thinkin' Kev Stuart but his bro never played so ya must mean Kev Campbell. They were fun games anyway, I think we usually all allied at the end to gang up on ross, poor sap. :lol: Was funny pissin' him off. Wonder if anyone else from Grantown plays bolo on here, doubt it.
Neway when I get my comp fixed I gonna av to can kick all these yanks' asses on here. Well if I can be bothered.
Indeed, Canadians don't have much of a war record, but when it comes to bolo, they sure do carry the flag.
You should be happy that Canadians are only good at war games then and not real life wars. The reason everyone outstide America hates America is due to them "bombing for peace" and going to war with any country they see as a goldmine.
/me can see a flame war approaching in the distance. Best to avoid the whole tyranical America argument alone Raider.
I'm pretty neutral when it comes to my views of the big land over the ocean but if you were in there position do you not think you might act in a similar way? What I mean by that is, if you were the most powerful nation on earth would you not want to do everything in your power to keep that monopoly of power? If that means invading another country using the 'war on terrorism' excuse then who is going to stand up and say no to them? Anyway, we shouldn't complain, it is better to be at the right hand of the devil than in his path :evil:
Anyway, you never know, Canada could have a huge hidden army and are preparing to invade their neighbours at any time? Food for thought that one
Ess-K :twisted:
In my eyes America is no superpower, it has no right to claim superiority over any other country. And the way their President's always babbel on about bein' "the land of the free", "god's nation" and all that crap, such blind ignorance and arrogance. Britain is also getting backwards to, partly due to the bad examples set by our "ally".
..anyway its all FUBAR. :?

This is even more moronic. This is no 'monopoly of power'. Exactly what that is, I have no idea. Sounds like you're jealous of America. Well, you should be. We've had one stable government throughout our history; which was accomplished *gasp* without brutal forms of control and systems based on fear (like Stalin's or the Iraqi regime). Don't even try to suggest the war on terrorism is an excuse for anything. We lost 2800 Americans that day. Whatever we decide we need to do to keep our people safe we are damn sure going to do. You are an idiot. Sit in your house and hope you don't get shredded by a car bomb at the subway or receive poisons in the mail before you do something. It won't hit home until it has hit home, so to speak. America is no Devil, the Devil is. Funny, your country must not share your views, because they have not decided to sever relations; ending alliances. America tries to police the world because it has the resources and the sense. Remember the last time we were neutral? WWII? We did nothing and Germany swallowed Europe and Japan swallowed the pacific. Those are examples of evils, not America. Get some education, Thank You.

What would your definition of a superpower be then Raider? America has the largest army on earth, the most money, one of the biggest populations and some of the most advanced technology. In my opinion that makes them a superpower.
I'm not singing the praises of our brethren over the pond, I don't like the fact Tony Blair follows Bush around like a little lost puppy dog when we're a nation of our own but I am simply stating a fact that America can and does control a lot of things in these times. Most countries will give consideration to them before commiting to many things such as Iraq and that should be realised. Do you really think our troops would have tried to invade Iraq and dislodge Saddam Housain from power without the backing of the yanks?
I agree that statements like 'land of the free' and 'gods nation' are no more than pretentious patriotism meant for the countries residents but to anybody else we can see it is far from a free land and has as much coruption, killing, rapes etc. as any country. Nobody has developed a system to eradicate these things to date and it will be a long way off yet I'd imagine. To give one man so much power is always a dangerous thing and all we can hope is that Bush and his successors will use the power responsibly. If not, we're all dead and won't care anyway.
In conclusion to my essay which probably has anyone reading it bored by now, I do not love America, nor do I hate them. There is probably the same ratio of fools over there as we have in the Uk but I am simply stating the facts as I see them. And should our distant cousins decide to invade us some years down the line then I hope it will be noted that I said nothing bad towards them. :wink:
Anyway, this has gone on to long and this final paragraph is to conclude my conclusion. All I said above is an opinion and RaiderUk and anybody else (even MaddMaxx, who I'm surprised hasn't commented yet) are welcome to their pwn views and opinions.
THE END
