The Minister of Figuilu Uses His Veto

(It is true that I said all hail the Minister of Kruisailu but I really have to eat my words now...)

I, Pyry, the Minister of Figuilu use the power of veto power as described in the holy Codex The Reilu Kerho against Olli, the Minister of Musailu's arrogant attempt to become the Minister of Transportation.

Olli's TRK profile states as followed: "Starting from July, he will also be the official TRK Minister of Transport, as in, the only one with a driver's license."

There are two reasons for my veto.

1) All the other Ministers are Minister of some-stupid-finnish-word-ilu

2) The Codex The Reilu Kerho states as followed:

"§6 There are a given amount of Ministers in TRK.
§6.1 Each founding member is a Minister for life and may not give up, forget, eat, or transfer his powers to other members.
§6.2 Other members may become Ministers.
§6.2.1 A member may apply for Ministership on the third Wednesday of any month.
He must make a formal announcement on the TRK blog on such a date stating his intentions.
§6.2.2 Then each Minister makes a challenge in his area of Ministership. The applicant must complete all challenges to be eligible for Ministership.
§6.2.3 After this, a majority of the founding members must gather in Pyry's attic to consider the matter. They then decide democratically on whether the person should become a minister. All must wear funny hats. Remember that the German hat is still reserved for Olli."

Olli didn't make an announcement on the blog on the third wednesday of a month. And he didn't complete any challenges. And I didn't get a chance to wear my sombrero!

Even though Olli is already a Minister I think §6.2.1 still applies.

I also think §6.1 doesn't apply to the Minister of Kruisailu (if Olli ever becomes one). It states that a Minister is a Minister for life but the Minister of Kruisailu should be the the Minister of Kruisailu only until someone else can drive too.

§6.4 Each Minister must specialise in something relevant to TRK.

I don't think driving is relevant to TRK.

Unless Olli really wants to become the Minister of Transportation, I suggest him to become the Champion of Transport or Kruisailu or something else (no need to be the Champion of some-stupid-finnish-word-ilu this time).

I don't have anything against Olli's attempt to become the Minister of Kruisailu but I think he needs to do what it takes to become one. Just declaring to be one isn't enough. What do the Minister of Juustoilu and Minister of Datailu have to say about this?

Can you really destroy a Toyota?

THAT, is a good question. Though I wouldn't personally try it with the family car, Jeremy from top gear couldn't do it... As such, this has nothing to do with anything, but it does prove that the japanese MUST own a darksteel forge, rendering all toyota pickups virtually indestructable.

Part #1

Part #2 (a)

P.S. Congrats to Olli on the driving liscence.

Modelling Inspiration For Olli (and Tony too perhaps)

As some of you guys know I bought General's Compendium. Its a huge silly book full of pictures of silly miniatures and silly house rules etc etc. Its totally useless. But its still the best book evah! It has a lot of campaign stuff. Even more great stuff and the best of all - it has rules for Warhammer naval battles!

Well I think I have to get to the whole point of this post. I promise Olli to send him a link to Man O' War (GW's old naval battle game) Yahoo group and I don't know which of his e-mails he uses. So here's a link.

http://games.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/theseaofclaws/

It has some great pics of Bretonnian ships. Check em out. If you are too lazy to join the group I can send the pics.

Profile: Sakari

AKA: Uzshka, Uutska

One of the founding members of TRK, Sakari has recently decided to update his profile! Sakari's strenghts in the ReiluKerho include a fair knowledge of computers and gaming. In gaming he excels most at RTSs, where he prefers cunning diplomacy, aggressive military construction and a ruthless disregard of his own minions which almost equals his disregard for others minions. He hates people who give up straight away, but prefers it when his opponents dont resist his bids for world domination too long.

His miniatures achievements include taking a preposterously long time to get anything done, a stylish Eldar army prone to spontaneous breakage, a decaing Tau army, and one fairly respectable unit of red Dire Avengers.

In MTG he is hindered by his preference for cards which look cool, to the point that he often chooses his theme decks merely on this basis. It has also led him to own an extensive collection of outdated and low power level Kamigawa cards which he has somehow shambled together into a few playable decks. He is possibly most known for his disabling Orzhov deck, his mono-green mana filtering Spirit deck, and his enduringly succesfull Boros deck.

Sakari is also the person who first brought Stepmania to TRK. Due to his current absense in Japan, he is slightly worried his previous position as the most adept player may be at risk. Thus he has plans for a rigorous training scheme upon his return.

Sakari is a devout follower of Pastafarianism, and is a avid fan of Pirates as well as Ninjas (those which aren't evil.)

Sakari's taste in music is perhaps the second widest in TRK with the absence of Scott. He can find music he enjoys in almost every genre, having recently even found something to his liking within metal and hip hop. His favourite type of music includes music with folk influences, or other quirks which seperate it from the average.

Profile: Pyry

AKA: Pysethus, Grimshag

Tagline: "Ei tää oo Call of Ktulu!"

Pyry is one of the founding members of TRK. His life is mainly three things: miniatures, music and computers. Oh yeah... There's that thing called school. He goes there too.

Pyry is maybe the craziest miniature collector of TRK. He spends almost all his time in the attic doing all kind of mysterious miniature projects. Some people believe he was born a paintbrush in his hand (and a craft knife + green stuff in the other - Olli). Let's all pray to god he doesn't stay in his attic for too long and die from shortage of water.

Pyry is not too good at FPS games. When he plays FPS games stylish random unaccurate dakka dakka or bang bang shooting is more important to him than good stats.

Pyry bought Age of Empires II right after it was released but after some playing it was burried in his closet. He found the game again when he played with Sakari and ladz and that was when his true talent came to life.

Pyry listens to everything that has something to do with rock. He downloads his music from the net because all his money goes to miniatures. He usually listens to radio because he is too lazy to burn CDs and play them.

Profile: Tony

AKA: Cheesemeister / Juustolainen ...ask about this and I'll stab your eyes out with McDonalds straws.

Tagline: Yeah, thats what they all say!! And Paranoid is by Iron Maiden!

Tony, a founding member of the Reilukerho (Johnny's Crew) and voted year after year to be the group (on occasion even the whole school) oddball. His natural ability to mess up almost anything in addition with his mastery of the "International" (don't ask)** and Über sence of humor enable him to stun people with Teh Ultimate Screwage in quite a few things. More recently the fact that i managed to be late from school because I forgot my pants and backpack in the trunk, and my mum drove to work with that car, strongly contribute to this mythical occurance. Oh and so as to not let anyone forget (I know Olli wouldn't anyway) - "Yup, Iron Maiden did Paranoid! And I'd totally swear it's Bruce Dickinson on the vocals, not Ozzy Osbourne... What? What did I say wrong?"

Moving on, his hobbies include Miniatures, Amusement Parks, Music and laughing his brains out his left ear at at almost anything, anywhere, anytime... ... guaranteed or get your money back. In the line of miniatures converting wacky Admech stuff is second nature but actually getting anything painted is a totally different story, as seen best by looking at his current army. Amusement parks seem to be the reason why his brainpower is limited to quite a small amount, he just knows too much about rollercoasters and whatnot (yeah, test him!) and hence cerebral RAM is constantly being used at about 85% in addition to other distractions...

Music is another huge factor in Tony's life. His musical taste equals the combined total of everybody else's tastes in one fell swoop. Almost anything goes from Comedy to Melodical Metal and from Punk rock to Happy Hardcore and even beyond Rap... He's a great fan of the following bands just to mention a few: Turo's Hevi Gee, Helloween, Pendulum, The Offspring and Juno Reactor. But still looms the general notion of "Örinää ei tueta", in other words, I dont support Death / Black metal, same goes for every one else except Olli. Oh, and before I forget, I love this game called Stepmania, I guess I'm okay at it too, nowadays I play on my Impact Dance Pad, Brilliant piece 'o kit... ... twas only 35 Euros.

**= If you really want to know, go ask anyone at Etelä Tapiolan Lukio.

P.S. This Profile was written at 4 'o clock in the friggin morning, after I decided to apparently stay awake and watch Robin Williams Live at Broadway 2002.
