Flying Purple Cup group stage begins!
Posted on Jul 2 2009, 21:47 by Shoosk
Bouvetoya, 2.07 - eyes of every AoM fan in the world were turned to Bouvet Island today where FIFPA President Deff Blatter, accompanied by a throng of supermodels, drew the group stages for the 2009 Flying Purple Cup. The drawing process itself is recorded for posterity and posterior in the Cataphractery. Experts agree that Group A outsucks Group B because it has less Asians.
The groups are as follows:
GROUP A
Theias
Elpea
Sunny
FlyingMonkey
ShuskyGROUP B
Avenger
Mike
Phantom_Rider2
Lief
SoggyFrogGroup stages will last for 10 days starting tomorrow. 32 matches will be played in the entire tournament, unless the best of three cup knock-out stages all end 2-0. A total of 500 cookies will be awarded to the participants.
EVERYONE IS HORRIFICLY EXCITED Comments: 5 :: View Comments

I Am The Cookie Vault

Dear Templars,
The government of FPH has decided to start keeping track of our vast cookie supplies and implement a market system for the island. I,
VAULT , have been put in charge of storing the cookies.
Due to horrendous record-keeping by previous administrations we have no way of knowing who has how many cookies, so I decided to distribute 100 cookies to each person who voted in the last 2 elections.
What you do with your cookies is completely up to you! You can give them to anyone you choose (by clicking on the cookie number of the person you want to give the cookies to). Friendly bets and bribery are encouraged between the templars and I recommend putting real stakes on the next forum game.
In addition, the FPH government will soon start providing various services (such as changing other people's display names or forum-game buyin matching) to increase liquidity and inject new capital into the economy.
Don't forget, our cookie supplies are limited! Use them wisely.

Happy FPH Day! We've somehow managed to not completely die for 8 years. 2920 days. 70080 hours. A LONG TIME ALL RIGHT. It seems like only yesterday that the Flying Purple was first discovered and the Clan established; postcards photoshopped by shusky remind us every single day of this glorious moment 
How on earth this ragtag club of AoMH refugees, misc. heavengames scum, prerelease AoM oldies, IdiotsAnonymous idiots and irish baby eaters has ever managed to form is a total mystery; how it could survive for almost a decade is something that will confound scholars for many years to come. Some think it's a similar sense of humour; others think that we just all had too much time on our hands, wasted it randomly and let it become a habit; still others were attracted by our great myths of old
LET THE FESTIVITIES COMMENCE:

QUOTE (Gagylpus' Glorious Myths)
Suddenly, a great teal shape rose from the water. It was a giant hippo. Any good adventurer knows that hippos are more dangerous than crocodiles, so he ran from the teal hippos- right into a horde of crocodiles. As any good adventurer also knows, crocodiles are not at all agile and you can hold their mouths closed with your bare hands. So, he ran in zig-zagged lines ang tied ropes around their mouths if they got too close. (He had alot of ropes.) Finally out of the danger, he made camp, ate supper (crocodiles taste just like chicken) and went to sleep.
LET THE FESTIVITIES COMMENCE:
- New forum game which requires a minimum of effort.
- Golden Hippo summoning thread. DO YOUR DUTY AND OFFER GIFTS
- Furthermore, your kind webmasters are working hard to bring back karma, in the form of cookies. Cookies that you can give to other people and trade with. It will be glorious
- (He had alot of ropes)

Upon returning from Italy I remark only of their wonderful food and weather (examples: BRUSCHETTA, PIZZA, AND SUNNY DAYS) and not their women which are overrated
