Age of Umpires (history, logs, vote page)

Featured picture candidate
A screenshot from Age of Umpires II: Age of Cricket. In this example, we see the classic "Shotgun-Seven" formation being used to maximum effect. Any good Umpire would note that this places a good deal of emphasis on the left side, making it easy enough to sneak in the stray foul wicket. Image credit: Hindleyite Archive - Discuss this image

Against Votes: 9	what's so funny about that? against --LinkTheGameFreak Bitch here 04:24, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Against. I don't find this funny--Rataube 10:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Against Oh look you can copy and paste a picture of people playing baseball onto a screenshot of somone playing AOE. Whoop-D-do. I'd vote yes if you could A) make the box, or B) make the Umpires look like real AOE figures. --The Zombiebaron 13:35, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Comment Apparently the box has been made, and I don't like it either. --The Zombiebaron 13:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Comment, they are playing Cricket, not Baseball. --OsirisX 23:57, 23 April 2006 (UTC) still doesn't change that it's very unfunny --LinkTheGameFreak Bitch here00:23, 24 April 2006 (UTC) Against I don't get it, sorry, but I just don't find it funny. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 18:26, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Against It looks really good, but I am afraid that most people probably woudln't get it (must have played some AoE), making it a bad image for featuring. --Mosquitopsu 03:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC) Kaizer the Bjorn Ianweller Feureau  Against.

Comments	Featured —rc (t) 04:42, 27 April 2006 (UTC) comment no, honestly, can someone explain why this image is funny because I dont understand it and if someone explains it then perhaps it will make more sense... -- LinkTheGameFreak Bitch here17:38, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Comment This highlights the whole 'satire without context' issue doesn't it? Only British people seem to find this hilarious, like me, yet none of us find US jokes funny in the least. maybe we should institute another ignorable policy....--The Rt. Hon. BarryC MUN (Symposium!) Sigh. Double Sigh. 19:20, 23 April 2006 (UTC) I think it needs a caption that better illustrates it, cuz just saying "screenshot from the game" doesn't explain anything for this pic. -- LinkTheGameFreak Bitch here19:40, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Comment The essence of this image is that it's a pun put into (I think) a very well-done photoshop job. The little figures look just like what I remember the sprites from Age of Empires looking like, and nearly every part of the screenshot contributes to the joke. I'm not even British and I don't know the first thing about cricket, and I like the image a lot. The caption I used gives the basic joke, but if someone wants to write a longer one by all means go ahead. —rc (t) 00:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
