Daleks just wanna have fun

Dalek Alt and Dalek Per are now so consumed by their game that not even tanks can distract them from it. I hear rumours that the other daleks have formed a betting pool on the outcome of the game...

In the spirit of sportsmanship

Dalek Alt and Dalek Per are most obliging to one another in their synonym game. There is a lesson to be learned here. Games are about fun and participation. Now if only the daleks could learn compassion for humanity as well as sportsmanship.

Player etiquette

When someone else has called the shot, it's just rude to take it from under their nose or eyestalk. Alt and Per are far too caught up in their own game to show the kind of courtesy that their fellow daleks expect during a planetary conquest.

The virtue of a good internet connection

Dalek Alt isn't sure that Dalek Per is using his words correctly. Fortunately for Per, all the wireless networks in the area are down because the Daleks have been busy destroying everything. If Alt had an internet connection he could go to dictionary dot com and call Per on his mistake.

All conquering aliens make the same mistake. They destroy the infrastructure too soon, then when they need it, its all gone.



ex·an·i·mate
[eg-zan-uh-mit, -meyt, ek-san-]

Back and forth

Dalek Per, being new to the synonym game doesn't realise that Dalek Alt is either playing fast and loose with the rules or is betraying his ignorance of the English language. To be speaking truthfully, Dalek Alt would have to employ a modified atomising ray rather than the regular death ray. We all know it's far too much work to modify a death ray like that...

The games continue

Dalek Per is starting to get the hang of Dalek Alt's synonym game. Unfortunately for the humans in the path of these two frolicking daleks, the English language has a lot of words.

Daleks at play

Daleks find it all to easy to kill humans. Somehow they need to find a way to make it challenging and fun.

Black dalek Per and white dalek Alt have come up with a synonym game to make killing humans more challenging.
