LOL. Very descriptive and entertaining.
The Old Warriors
A very enjoyable story Mr.e4---, the ending that enters one's mind may have been a bit messy tho lol. However being a stickler for minor details I thought that I would mention that Otto should have said " Leck mich " rather than " Lech mich ". A minor spelling correction to a truly good story.

I was enjoying that! Smartphone!! Is there a real ending. And why Has he only got 4 stars? Hes watching the mushroom cloud isnt he, waiting to take control of his devastated rubble heap. Contemplating the tides of Korea.

Hey! Dougy! i was trying to make friends i assumed you being a fan of mcarther you would understand his history. He got a bum deal from Truman, and got landed with job of cleaning up Japan, With 5 stars. (5 star general). Then went on to pull what i thought was an extraordinary move against North Korea,above Soel, They had to wait for the right tides to get troops ashore. I think his finest moment was when he took the surrender on the USS ? Them ink pens must be worth a bit now.
You mocked his integrity by suggesting he looked over the toilet wall.
I was not trying to have a go!!

I did, only because of your iconography,and name. I must of thought he was an idol or maybe you respected him.
So.... If it is not to a personal a Question...And please tell me if it is? Whom do you respect in your history,not family i wouldnt dream of asking that kind of question. just trying to maybe find a common thread.
Please i do not respect comudgeoness

Well! i guess theres no seeing through that, personal integrity. I admire that! So its back to just humour. See you on the threads then.

...the ending that enters one's mind may have been a bit messy tho...
cabby, if you are still here...
What kind of an ending would you have liked?
Yes Hello, I just got back onto the internet. I agree with the point of the story regarding the fact that Otto was cheating and I assume that you wanted a strong ending to the story so that everything fits together. I guess the only other thought that I had is that Arthur carries a old style walking stick that gentlemen used to have and the one that Arthur has is one of those that contains a Sword inside it. Either way I agree that Otto has to go !

Well, while we are waiting for my dear friend cabby...to see how well he may or may not like this ending...
Anyone who has a hankering to do so, feel free to post something better. Ending...or anything else, for that matter.

You could have his dead body morph into a troll's corpse, revealing his true nature...or have him continue playing chess after death, being the highest rated zombie ever...or the gun could misfire, exploding and killing the protagonist but teaching Otto a valuable lesson...or he could step over the body, look at the engine position and see it was for a totally unrelated game. Just a few random thoughts.
