Time to be adults again
« on: October 25, 2006, 10:53:13 PM »
Look at all the threads in this forum.  I am ashamed of us.  I'm also VERY ashamed that I bit and took part in it.  We got to rant & rave & play intardnet tough guys & know-it-alls, but now it's time to grow up.  I am begging this community to cease fire and just....let it go.  No one has changed their stance on the issues and y'all know as well as I do they (I) are not gonna.  We could go on forever with the back and forth slams.  For what?  Why?  It helps...?  Can y'all imagine what someone comin' to the boards for the first time thinks of us?  If I'd read all these kinds of threads before I subscribed, well, I wouldn't have.  I'd just be thinking "What a bunch of , no thanks".  
       To HT & crew, I apologize for the way these boards are making the game look.  Hopefully everyone will start new, constructive threads that will push these useless, venom spitting threads back into the depths of oblivion where they belong.
      To Laz, Hubs, Storch, Guppy & the rest: though we do not agree (at all), I'm glad that you guys care so much about how the game goes and it's good to see people stand up for what they believe in, even in a game forum.  I'm sorry that the two sides can't stop the name calling and meet in the middle.
       Well ladies & germs, I am willing to meet in the middle.  I will fly with my squad doing our strat/base capture thing in LW/MW, but will start spending a lot more time in EW, trying the pure fighter way of playing.  I love to furball, I just don't like the way the pure-furballers talk to people, and that has really turned me against them.  It's gotta start somewhere.
     In closing, I'd like to end this with the slogan of the US Army Infantry School: "Follow me!"  <> to the ENTIRE community.

I'd like to tag along, all I can offer is an old timer that enjoys playing the game (most of the time), a so-so has been last place 1/2witted squad and a positive attitude.:aok

Hope it helps

Thank you fellas. Seriously.  MOIL, I'll take ya up on that.  I've always had the utmost respect for the LTARs.  Matter of fact, if I hadn't been a BoP, you guys would have been the squad for me.  I'll make another compromise/effort.  Is there any large squad (or a couple smaller ones) that would like to face off against the BoPs on Monday nite 9-11pm EST for our squad nite?  I'm talkin people who want to have a good ol' fashioned brawl, but have a real good time doin' it (like lots of s & gf's on ch. 200).  I think it'd be a blast and good for the community.  Any takers?  Come get some turds!! :D

<> Great Post.  I have also stopped posting in regard to gameplay, realizing I am not going to change anyones mind or opinion. I dont currently have the time to perfect my own H2H arena, so I'm just gonna ride the tide for a bit & see which dust settles first.

Till then, I have 3-4 arenas to find a respectable fight in. I have been able to do so 5 outta 6 times, which is a huge increase compared to old MA.

I have said it before and its worth repeating-"AH just sets up the game, its up to us how it gets played":aok

The goal has to be to get folks to play better together.  It isn't about being on one side or the other.  We need to do something as a group to make the game fun for all.

More power to ya for looking at it that way :)

Despite the fact that you both acted like complete asses, I laud your efforts to be constructive instead of insulting. Change is often good.

They are all "Internet Tough Guys" Ranger.... we can take them! We will just unplug thier controller when the fight starts! :D
As for me, 12 days and a wake up will I hit the states, then we will get to fight a bit more when I am in a better time zone.  I am with you and MOIL on this... just don't let MOIL in an Osty... :noid
Will be up this weekend some Ranger, hopefully will see you then!

Don't bother talking to megadud, he's not a real person. It's not like he has feelings or anything.
