I'm doing this UBB thing...

[Kieran]

I understood Roto's stab at humor from the get-go. I mean, how could anyone not laugh at anyone saying "I am gud at flight simz"? Joke is as old as the hills... or is it my obtuse sense of humor? Roto may or may not have meant to stir things up (I thought he was funny), but you shouldn't let that reflect on your opinion of the community as a whole.

I don't personally think that a point of view is validated by the number of posts one makes. Pop those ideas out there and discuss them. If your ideas are sound, they will fly.

Geez...how hard is it?  He gave you both of their names.  Send them a private message for Pete's sake or look them up online sometime.  

I am all for getting new players into the game and all but you and your little buddy Arlo havent exactly gone about things the right way, imo.  You come in taking pot-shots at the game calling it Aces Hoes and stuff like that and now you are looking for a favorable reaction from the crowd here?  Sure you laugh it off and say that its all in good humor, but seriously, what would your reaction have been if we had done the same while you were over there in AW?

[Kieran]

Just a word of reason here, Sling. There was a thing way back in the old days of AW- and its name was "HATE".

Was it Doc that had a "Hate" website up? I can't recall now. I do know that it was a common joke amongst the AW pilots to visciously insult one another- all in good fun. Think of it this way- it's their way of saying "'Tard" (as is done here).

I don't think these guys mean anything at all by their comments- in fact, I think Roto's first post was merely his way of saying "Hello" to old friends he knew were here. That people misunderstood and laid into him just made it all the better for him. Think of this as the equivalent of chute-shooting in the game. It is done to get a rise, but isn't really mean spirited.

[Arlo]

Correction(s), slingblade ol' pal.

1: I've never used the term "aces hoes" in my entire life.

2: I've never taken potshots at this game, ever.

3: Watchin' guys like you come up with those assumptions IS entertaining.

and "slingblade" says ...

Always open to new ideas... whatcha got in mind?

Keep in mind that we *can* get new terrains whipped up, but getting planes built is a quite a bit more problematic, obviously. The CMs make a list of planes they want, some get in, some don't. It's better that you design anything with the planes we've already got and keep yer fingers crossed for those planes making the cut in the next version. If it's any comfort... HTC has seemed to be going back in time now with thier new planes...

Not sure how you folks got things done over there... but don't be arses. HTC are a few people that are makin' a pretty cool sim. The CM team are players that are trying to make stuff for people to fly in. There's no official liason or spokesperson or community manager or anything like that... that you would need to do battle with. K? Whatcha got in mind exactly?

Geez ... now I gotta edit too.

 The new idea is the Spanish Civil War. Uberbipes and first generation metal monoplanes with retracting gear. Bombers that could outrun most of the fighters. A dogfighter's paradise.  

 Tilting at windmills never stopped those who came before me. Some of them even got a thing or two accomplished. But not by themselves. Get 10 people interested and you have a good thinktank. Get 100 interested and you've got possibilities. I'll settle for a thinktank now and possibilites later.

Hehe you saw that post before I got a chance (which took 2 secs) to reread what I wrote and decide to edit it.

Sorry about that. Was my initial reaction. Not a good one... yah... but what the hell. You two struck me as coming on a lil strong. Thas ok... But seriously... whatcha have in mind?

[Pongo]

To paraphrase then
A couple of special event gurus from air warrior show up here being twits on week one of their accounts that they only started cause their game got toasted. They imply by their posts and flames that events are all wrong here and that they are being refrained from using their god given talents by the narrow minded existing comunity.
The planes they need are missing.
The event que is full but flawed.
They probably havent participated in a single event here but they are going to fix it all if we give them the cr42 like they deserve.
What was it happend to their other game?

[Arlo]

Paraphrasing isn't your strong suit.

Christ some of you people are so diddlying defensive as to be unreal and you have been as long as I have been checking (and playing when I have the funds)no matter wether someone came from Warbirds, Air Warrior or Bunny Luv for that matter.

Lighten up for cods sake, 15 years of experience with scenarios is nothing to snort at, especially in combination with the kick bellybutton design team HTC has.

None of the concerns about the way events are planned and run is new, nor are any of the jibes meant to be insulting or"dripping in sarcasm".

That was beautiful man.  I think, I think I love you.

In a manly way ofcourse.

First off you folks need to not get your panties in a wad so easy. You need to read between the lines and notice adult humor when you see it. These folks have known each other for more then 10 years, in the same sim. And they happen to treat each other like family.

Second these folks you call newbies and prolly never flew an event *here*, prolly designed more then you have flown. I would suggest you are prolly defensive because they may actually know more about it then you.

Third, if it's so damn easy to get a hold of the events team then point the poor guy to the button thats says "contact events team".
>What was it happend to their other game?

Wow that was our fault right? And your last sim is where and lasted how long>?? That's prolly your fault. <G> j\k

Litghten up francis,.. sheeesh Who's getting worked up>?

Look some of you new AW guys.

Don't come in  here yellin' and screamin' and demanding to be taken seriously. You have to earn that, and complaining about AH or its community isn't a good way of doing it.

I mean, you've even made me a bit annoyed. Just chill, stop treating this place like its your own (it ain't) and behave like adults.

New community - so that means you don't have the same status or position as in the old one. Don't whine about that - work on it instead. And, don't work on it by whining about it  .

Just chill.

[steely07]

And don't make StSanta mad or you will get nothing for christmas  ))
 Welcome all AW pilots,i was shocked to hear that AW went down,it gives me cold sweats thinking how i would feel if HTC were all swept up by a cyclone and there was no more Aces High,look forward to seeing ya all in the skies
