Welcome to a slimmer MARX BROTHERS

With the support of Jefco and the Crew, I have been invested as new captain of the Marx Brothers. I have full powers to handle the lifes of our current members, allow new candidates to join and stay as a visible head as long as I wish. I hope this to be a breath of vitality and creativity both for the clan and the game.

I will explain in the next paragraphs what has been going on in the Power Soccer life for the past years, what has happened to our clan, and why we reached this dangerous situation in which a single man is given dictatorial powers to save what is left to be saved. 

Then, I will expose what are my plans for the future and what I hope to achieve during my reign.

Let's begin.

A good way to seek for major changes in Power Soccer is by using the search-tool and read all the post Powdersnow wrote in the last 2 years. It's a tiring process, but it's also enriching because you always learn from reading old topics. So let me share with you three threads which I find very relevant.

Of course, as expected, the first thread is the one we all had on mind, the thread which involved a turning point in the game. I'm talking about the "New Slimmer Power Soccer". Results are now visible: a significative decline of the presence of non-CM (Club Members), a bigger presence of CM in the game and forums, a much smaller comunity and therefore a smaller forum. I venture to say that we have right here an important link to the general decline of our activity.

I still have doubts if the two other threads are somehow related to the introducion of a Slimmer PS, or if the stated reasons are the truth. Given the immaculate aura of perfection that surrounds our honorable founders, I will not launch yet the attacks which have the ultimate goal to eliminate old and dangerous convicts such as Jefco -  his existence is a challenge to my powers and as such, has to be destroyed. Enough play on words: find out here and here the two relevant threads. After their resignation from their MA positions, Sipwell and Airfix have gone through a process of checking less and less forums, emails, game challenges. Just a data: they haven't posted in public forums for 6 months now. 

Let's be honest: we belong to the past. Our voice is not heard in the every day issues of the community, the game, the forums. What was once a massive influence in the cultural life of the game is now a museum of old glorious users who come and check the game every once in a while and then leave. The Marx Brothers are endangered.To the point that two of us are left. Jefco - not for long - and me, Adeidos. For many including myself, it's still a mistery how I have survived for ages in the Admin Team and in the MB, just like this guy survived for years in one of the most dangerous revolutions. Maybe the fact that I speak French has something to do on this. L'état c'est moi. We reached such a low point, in which I even considered to leave the clan in order to avoid the shite-annoying Cup Invitations. How I hate 'em! 

 We have two options. One is dissapear for ever and ever. Close the house, kick everyone and return to the darkness we should have never left.The other one is to reborn from our ashes like Harry Potter's phoenix. This means that we will be looking for new members and that we will be accepting candidatures. A word on this. I have very little hopes to find an appropiate candidate, or even worse, to find someone interested in joining us. After all, life goes on, isn't it? It's been for long time that our famous trademark is nowhere to be found in the forums. Only orwell2 seems to be missing it - among other things-.

This leads to the conclusion of my entry: future & plans.

I would be fooling myself if I pretended to change something in the game or in the community. I would not have enough free time and dedication. At least, as clan captain, FA and old experienced user, I have some tools to try something - and it's what I am doing right now.

Marx Brothers are back, in a slimmer version.

To finish with, my favourite epitaph from a great Greek author: "I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free."

Dr. Sheep I Presume?

So it is finally official, after year upon year of grazing on the knowledge available on the subject of the church and the EU, the long journey has come to an end. Why one would choose that particular subject is beyond me, and pretty much anyone else, which I guess would be the precise reason one would choose such a topic. It is much easier to convince everyone else you are correct, when the subject matter is something no one else knows anything at all about, nor really cares about for that matter. In fact, those attending the dissertation had not read past the title, but rather were in attendance merely for the party afterwards. Indeed though, no matter how boring (or useless to most) the material, the accomplishment is worthy of a public spectacle (something which I'm sure will be made tonight in celebration). Alas, for those of you who have no clue what I am referring to, it is our dearest longtime sheepy friend, and illustrious co-founder, now known as DR. SIPWELL!

Indeed it has been a long, and undoubtedly boring, road to reach where he is today.  It is to his great credit that he has stayed the course, trudging daily down that utterly (or is it "udderly", I'm never quite certain) desolate and lonely road.  Mrs. Sheep was forced to undertake a career in art, just to find some creativity in her life, as a break from the endless monotonous discussions about religion and European policy.  Not to mention all the chatter about whether his dress would fit or if he should pluck his eyebrows (a question which should always be answered "no" if you are a male) for his final crowning moment.  So, we offer our heartfelt congratulations.  Go and raise a glass with your closest friends (and a few distant ones as well).  You have earned it mate.  Well done!

Marx Brothers' Christmas Special

During the month of december, Bigdaddyat and myself decided that – for Christmas – we need to do something special. We have already invited Dainsanefh to our clan as an act of hospitality and reaching out to the impoverished, chanceless people on this planet. The fact that we made thousands of people happy by taking that smelly, long-haired and ill-mannered punk of the streets was rewarding, but we wanted something more positive as well.

That is why we decided that the Marx Brothers should, during the winter holidays, organize a show. Not just a show, a very special show: an ice skating show.

Early in December we started to do try-outs to see who could be participating in the show. Jimmykilcoo, eager as always, was the first who arrived at the – granted – rather small pool in Bigdaddyat’s backyard. His performance however was not exactly what we had in mind.




Hilarious. Absolutely. Marx Brother style. No doubt. Class? Hell no.

Airfix_9 didn’t fare a lot better. In fact, she never made it to try-out itself.



We wish you a speedy recovery, AF9. I hope the bruises do not hurt too much.

Dainsanefh proved that intelligence wasn’t one of the reasons why he joined the Marx Brothers:




In fact, when we finally got all of the other Marx Brothers on ice, the result wasn’t promising:




What we didn’t know at that time was that Anionic had other much more lofty commitments the day of the try-out. To be honest, our hopes of Anionic being any good at ice-skating were close to zero. He is a Brit. They hardly know what ice is as it just rains, rains, rains all day. It is never so cold that there is an ice layer where he can show off his “qualities”. (Mind you: you can’t blame him. Brits usually suck at Winter Olympics).

However, what we saw was impressive:



That is why we have decided to name our show ANI ON ICE!

For information about tickets, offers and other hilarious footage about the other skaters, please contact our sales manager Airfix_9.

Friendly Friday

Ahh I love the smell of Friday and I think everyone does as well unless you happen to be in a sewer. If that is the case, I need you to get 4 baby turtles, some toxic waste,a box of pizza, and meet me in the alley located in Russia. You will be dropped a care package telling you more specific information when you get there. In the meantime, you can stay here and read the blog, which is sad only because my greatness has not touched the virtual pages in a while.

"...DragonStriker, DragonStriker, we missed your awesomeness. We are so glad you are here. You should definitely be the leader of the Power Soccer world." Aww that is very caring guys. I know I probably should, but rest assured that people are doing their best and I am just a small part in helping it stay awesome. As for this blog...Yeah it is just me being awesome.

In other news, since it is friday and I am sure many of you are in school, you must definitely look forward to Fridays. It signifies the start of freedom for until you must go back to having boring lives on Monday. Plus I know some of you have been taking exams and may finish this week so to you all I say congratz on making it through the week. To those about to take exams, I wish you all the best of luck. And to those not taking exams, but still have to fight through every week, I am glad you get some time to relax and enjoy being lazy like this couch potato.

In order to celebrate Friday and the coming of the weekend, I think everyone needs to have one of these. I say it is essential to having a good weekend and you should trust me because I'm a Doctor of pepper. The secret is a good laugh. Now you may not laugh at some things because everyone has a different sense of humor or no humor at all, but I hope you do get to laugh at something today like this.




This is DragonStriker saying, "Have a great Weekend everyone and come back now ya hear (in a crazy country voice)."

Happy Halloween

Before we get to the topic at hand, there are things that must be cleared in the Agenda. You may have read in the post below that I stole the word "Tomfoolery" from Eindhatre. This is false and is a prime example of a ninnymuggin at work since we know the word was created before Eindhatre was born. Also, the soccer game noise was indeed annoying and I shall give 25 tokens to anyone who was annoyed by the sound and replace the sound with the sound of Vuvuzelas.

Yes as you can read (at least I hope you can) it is Halloween and me giving you 25 tokens was part of your trick for the day. This scary, delicious holiday lies on October 31, which marks the end of one month and the beginning of another, more tasty month. I hope all of you took the time to go outside and get free candy from everyone who bothered to buy some or answer their door with some. This is the only time where you can knock on someone's door and be given candy just for knocking on a door and saying "trick-or-treat" so you had better seize the moment now. I would love to know if anyone dressed up as something interesting or creative this year. It is always nice to see some people really take it to the extreme. Eindhatre_Marx decided to find a costume this year and the coolest thing is, it was free. "how come oh great one?" Yes, that is because Eindhatre decided to not put on a costume, which is scarier than any other costume you can think off.

Now, I presume that those of you that are older and feel too old to be knocking on people's doors for candy may have gone to a Halloween party. If that is the case, I hope you had a great time within reason. The night brings out some odd freaks. In fact, This man found a freak, but it was in the morning. Oh wait what am I saying? Of course I don't care about how your Halloween was. I hope you all got tricked and were scared out of your minds. Nahh, that was another trick, but unfortunately these people really got tricked.

Now that I have tricked you twice and given you one treat (guess what the treat is) It is time to make it equal by presenting you all with another treat to end the weekend. To a night, which is dedicated to witchs, ghouls, ghost, and all the creepy crawling things of the night, it would be sad if we didn't have zombies. Plus, nothing is more rewarding than getting to beat up zombies after they have been scaring you all night so enjoy getting your revenge by playing an awesome game without unwanted noise this time. If you can give me a print of your highscore, I may turn this into a competition and post your score picture for all to adore just as all adore me :D. So spin, jump, duck, and barrel roll your way through the hoard of zombies in this Zombie spree game.


For the last time until next year, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! *Poof*

This is DragonStriker saying, "hide your treats, hide yourself."

Word Of The Day

Foreword:

The editors of this post would like to thank dragonstriker for two things:
a) the ridiculous kicking game (which I finished) that makes stupid sounds and makes me scroll down very fast to turn off the stupid sound - doesn't really complement "Advance Australia Fair", you know
b) of lesser importance, for stealing the previous Word Of The Day for his Own Evil Means. "tomfoolery" is my Word, you slimey so-and-so.

Main Body Argument:
It has once again come to my attention that Marx Brothers remains PowerSoccerLand's great moral influences on society all come down to our clan. Our non-selective, fair, unadulterated selection process allows any bastard into our clan. Thus, I come to a word which tastes so lovely in my mouth that I almost don't want to say it: Bastion.

Afterword:
We are the last moral bastion of PowerSoccer. Hurrah!

Non Offensive Pic Of The Day

I never seem to get the gist of this section. I always seem to find extremely offensive snaps that are so offensive that they aren't offensive... the irony is delicious. God save the Queen!

So-offensive-it-is-non-offensive pic of the day

I felt that this "oldie but a goodie" required its own post. Hopefully it will offend you so much it is non-offensive. Au revoir!

I bless the rains down in Africa...

In the days leading up the canonisation of a wonderful Aussie, Mother Mary MacKillop (see right**) - some religious Aussie, no need to worry 'bout her - it seems the season of peace has not been extended to the vast majority of ladies and ladettes in PowerSoccerLand, with the fields and beaches being overrun not by pretty little girls, but by hoards of angry, fat, McDonalds-eating, baseball-watching, middle-aged, bald, illiterate Americanos. It is these people, if they deserve such a mundane or humane title, that are burning the fruits and hard yakka of PowerSoccereans such as your good selves. Spreading far and wide, Africa, currently undergoing the rain season, has become a nest for poachers, killing natives and taking them back to the native American homeland.

Recent developments in PowerSoccerLand have seen two of our most valuable members, me and yours truly, attempted to be poached by a unnamed clan (see relevant tag below) headed by an unnamed captain (again, see relevant tag below). This malicious entourage, however, easily succumbed to the trademark Marx Brotherian wit, resulting in a "i'm gonna have to close dis tab now" message (in fluent American) appearing in my chat. It is with deepest regrets that I declined the wonderful offer, even providing the rejected requestee with a perenial two fingered, PowerSoccerean salute to walk away with. With the poaching season almost over in Africa, and my recent discovery of the wonders of Asia#1, I hope that these marauding clans that hold malicious intentions towards our harmless clan seek and find new grounds for good breeding.

NEXT TIME ON MBTV: af9's visit to good ol' San Fran; sipwell's move into designer clothes; jimmykilcoo's first ever cup win and dain's nth cross-dressing attempt.

**Editing disclaimer: once again, it seems my sense of direction has gone AWOL. right=left in Aussieland.

Karate Choppin' through your computer screens

Why hello there all you beautiful, yet incredibly lame people out there. Yes you are all beautiful, but lame as well because you all continue to ninnymuggins. Countless times I step on to the field with my theme music rolling, the crowd cheering, and the sun shining only on me. As my opponent comes out, the team is left in darkness and pit awaits them if they get a lead on me. As my players do what they normally do (be awesome), they dazzle people with their Pele-like bicycle kicks, Messi crosses, and simple gestures of satisfaction.




Then as I am busy performing all these tricks at my own expense without charging one shilling or crown (you can by airfix for 1 shilling now if you act fast), the opponent has the nerve to complain about how I am putting on a show. Soon like Eindhatre_marx's bad odor, the complaints come flying in and the only thing you want to do is knock them out or tase them for a brief second (or more) like these guys. Instead I have harnessed the power the great sage to deal with these panzies. It is called art of the screen chop. This is a sacred technique that can be mastered by one of the few greats like myself and is used as a last resort effort.



This technique allows me to hit the user through their computer screen causing them to be paralyzed until the match is over. So lesson to all you panzies out there, don't complain or don't face me at least.

Sidenote: Dragonstriker won the soccer game competition because he got the highest score so congratulations Dragonstriker. Here you are featured in a post.

This is DragonStriker saying, "Oh yeah I'm grown now. I'm really grown now."

News Flash Wednesday

Ahhh it is the oddest part of the week. Why is it odd? Well that is because on Wednesday you are either completely tired and about to turn into a zombie since you have been working hard (harder than you normally do since some of you just sit all day) or you are completely energized like a bunny since you know the weekend is almost here. Whoever you may be, really isn't important to anyone so I don't know why you would let someone know. (Note: if you cried when I said that, I shall by you a pacifier to stop the tears).

In more important news, sometimes you play a match or a game and the opponent thinks they are better than you. They are using fast passes, long balls, smart crossing, fancy dribbles and you just can't handle it. You need to show them who is boss. Tell them they can't beat you because you are smarter than them. Be more like this young man.

In Unrelated news, times are getting hard. People are finding it harder and harder to get money. Now kids aren't able to pay for club membership and get cool stuff. You know what is the worst part though? Times are so bad that Mcdonalds is selling any size drinks for $1. As a under-payed citizen, I understand your pain and struggle. I understand how hard it is to afford to get coke for a dollar let alone tokens for power soccer. This is why I have devised a way for everyone to get free stuff. Displayed below:



Then you can sell the end product for tokens. I hope that connected with you all. (har har har)

==================================================

Non-Offensive Picture of the week



Now I think this is pretty non-offensive. I mean it is actually celebrating two sheeps coming together and accepting each other. However, I am sure one will ask, "why does the black sheep have some white and the white sheep have no black?" "Is the one sheep to good for the other?" "Why is one sheep's head over the other?" To you I say for shame because they just wanted to look like cookies n' cream.



This is DragonStriker saying, "Dragon Uuuup!!!"

Saturday Tomfoolery

For others it may not be Saturday for you, which I am sorry. To those that today is Saturday, I am sorry as well. Why? Because my Saturday beats all of your days and that is all that counts. Unless you are talking about math teachers because they also count. Saturday is the day of tomfoolery.

*Question from the Audience* "What is tomfoolery DragonStriker?" Ah yes good question. Tomfoolery is foolish or senseless behavior. Usually every time Sipwell does something, or airfix decides to play a game, they are participating in tomfoolery and should be ignored on site. You should also report them to your local authorities so we can keep these people off the Power Soccer streets. If you want yet another example, please view this action of Tomfoolery as it shows you why being smart and civilized pays off. If you have anymore questions regarding this subject, please feel free to stop by my office. Class dismissed.

Runaway Panzies of Power Soccer

Throughout my time on Power Soccer, I have come across many people who are very kind and love the game. They support the game by buying various items, supporting the hard work of the crew, and generally playing the game without complaints. However, there has been a slight rise in the panzies growing this season, which is odd because panzies shouldn't grow near winter season. You will get the people who ask, "why must I pay for a lame game when I can haz a cheezburger" or "I hate it when people dribble past my defender and score a goal." They then begin to display their hate on the wall of wailing and cry foul often like a famous Portugal soccer player we should all know and not understand. The panzies are then picked from the ground and run off to "better games" like "Dungeons and Dragons," "Pokemon," or "Fifa". I cry nay (because I am half man half horse) and have found a game that is home of the panzies. Now maybe the panzies can grow in a climate most suited for them. This game clearly has to be better than Power Soccer right? I mean the complexity is so intense (like a double rainbow flick) and you can always win or quit without worrying about your invisible rp. Yeah this has to be gold in the making right here. I even asked Kanye West what he thought about it and he said It's Amazing.

* Try to get a high score and send me a screenshot of it so you can be honored in a post challenge ends October 9th.*

Now run like the wind and go Play this soccer game so you may be featured in the greatest post of all.

This is DragonStriker saying, "If two wrongs don't make a right, what makes a left?"

I need a sandwich

with the following ingredients:

1) brown bread with sesame on top;
2) cheddar cheese
3) salad
4) tomatoes (cut in quarters)
5) cuccumber (sliced in quarters)
6) mayonaise (not too much)


Wrapped in plastic foil.

Reward: eternal gratitude, respect and friendship.

Who is Bigdaddyat?

I have been on Power Soccer for a long time. I've seen people go and come through those virtual doors. I have also seen many grow up to be great players (not greater than I of course). As I go about my day on PS being a complete BOSS and reading the forums with lot of people talking like This ninnymuggin, I can't help to ponder who Bigdaddyat is. A secret study has been done to observe this bigdaddyat while seeing who this person is and some interesting answers have appeared. This study was conducted by Harvard Grads so the results and study are 100% valid so you don't need to worry and question whether it is real or not. We know that some people on Power Soccer like to put pictures of themselves up (however ugly it may be) like Dainsanefh. Looking at Bigdaddyat's photo we see a turtle displayed in a superman stance with an M on his chest. They believe this might be his true identity, which many of you have probably seen already. He seems to be quite famous with the kids (maybe a need to alert the police). I have provided visual evidence for those who are unsure of his possible identity. This turtle does not have the letter 'M' (possibly standing for manzi panzi) posted on his chest, but he wears a lot of red, which is pretty close for our comparison. If you do not see this turtle lurking on the streets of Power Soccer, it is probably because he is in the sewers eating pizza and hiding from the world. Power Soccer is a pretty place and we can't have ugly mutant turtles ruining it you know, bad for business. However if he was like this turtle *bring in the awwww*, then he would be acceptable. Side note: If you said "awww" you are a panzy and should hide in The dungeon with other panzies until I say it is okay to come out and roam the grounds free from persecution. Trust me, it is for your own good. Now back to the study, the researchers were not okay with their first answer so they searched deeper into who bigdaddyat is and found out this creature called itself Jason. Immediately, they knew who it was. Displayed to your left, he was once known as the green, white and red ranger (Colors of the Italy and Mexico flags). No one knows why he left the power rangers after years of saving the earth in a pre-historic robo dinosaur, but they know he has moved to Power Soccer so he can be master of another megazord known as 'Power Soccer.' Unfortunately, the Grads were never able to confirm if this was his true identity, but at least now we are all able to put a face to a name. On the next installment, we ask why is this turtle/power ranger man is called bigdaddyat? Also, what is he a bigdaddyat? Is bigdaddyat the corner trying to sell jabulani shoes for a dirt cheap price or is he really a bigdaddyat pimping? Did this play on words fly by you like shots fly by your goalie? Only studies will tell.

Now a quick word from our sponsors. Read our blog, invite your friends because as DJ Khaled says WE DA BEST and we're always out here grindin.

This is DragonStriker saying, "Why take Dentyne Ice when you can have some fire in your life?" Stay toasty my friends.

Game of the Week

Today's game of the week has more quality than Sipwell's posts and more popularity than a preteen girl's rating of Justin Bieber's micro sword (only you young Shakespearians will understand this or maybe those who have many lonely nights). Hope you enjoy it as much as Justin Bieber.

Disclaimer: We in no way hate Justin Bieber or his music. He is doing what he loves and making money, and we can only wish him the best in his career. He is a very good actor, comedian, and singer. since his music is a joke! Get it? haha But in all honesty, check out his latest song.

Make sure to say hi in the chat on the right side of the blog too so I can come by and say hi to you as well, write on your guestbook or do battle with you on the pitch haha.

So You Think You Can Win

Well it's me Crono1231 again here with yet another post that's on the same day as my last post. How can I keep this up if I'm posting every 4 hours? Could I be turning into a spammer? :O

Well today's post will be rather short, but super HARD. Not quite this hard. But still fairly difficult. It's a small, fun contest that I would like all of you to participate in if you are bored, have the time, losing too much rp, or just want to achieve greatness in life.

The game is called "Untangle" and can be found by clicking here. What I want you to do is play the game and see if you can beat it.

Depending on how many people play the game or how difficult proves to be the selection of winners might change. However for now the rules will be that the first 10 people to complete the game will receive a shoutout on both this blog, my owners corner, and in the forum thread that I have created for this little contest. All you have to do is take a screen shot of you completing the game, and post a link to that screenshot in the forum thread. Please note that posting any other link that is very inappropriate or extremely unrelated to the game and uncool will be removed.

Go to imageshark or any other site you know of to upload your screenshot. This small little contest will run for a week (but two weeks if there are very few players), that means it will end September 29, 2010!! See you all then!
