This is the announcement I was referring to:-

Interesting as you said the person asked what game it is. You didn't say they asked your opinion. They evidently wanted to know based on the video. Just tell them what game it is and let them form their own opinion.

I'm trying to incorporate the AH banner into future videos like Steely does:-

Yeah I did as I know he always answers with sincerity even if it's sometimes a bit too unpasteurised for non-Texans 

I seldom shy from expressing my opinion.  When people try to shame me in to being quite, I just dig my spurs in deeper.

Certainly no one should ask my opinion if they don't want it served neat.

The "Plead the fifth?" option would just be to deflect and say, "Oh I dunno, just give the free two-week trial a try for yourself."

The second answer is what I would tell a friend if they reached out to me and asked my honest opinion of the current state of the game. 

Though, I might have added at the end, "But man, you should have seen it in it's prime."

Yeah it was something else

Tricky one this. Someone asked on one of my YouTube videos which game it was. I was sort of assuming only former or present players would ever watch those. I told him and linked the download page. Now for it:

I don't know if I could - in good faith - recommend AH to a new player the state of gameplay and numbers being what they are. To my mind it feels like no one is doubting the game is in terminal decline and neither does HiTech given his New Year's announcement.

Thoughts?

what's so tricky about? Just tell him what you said here. Three sentences? It's not like you're recommending a retirement plan. 

[nrshida]

what's so tricky about?

Why do you care. You said you were tired of AH BS, you'd ended your subscription and would never play AH again, you were packing up your CH stuff and maybe selling it, and you were too old for games. Also you and ethics in the same sentence might cause a catastrophic worm-hole of contradiction which would even suck Texas into oblivion.

You asked for thoughts and those were my thoughts.

You're full of drama and angst. LOL


Do you have ethical questions when choosing a salad dressing too?

That's called Oklahoma.

When you have a thought, feel free to contribute.

A finer example of transference from your childhood you will seldom find on this forum.

The game doesn't have to change... just some stupid maps need to go (4) and a slight ENY adj on some planes (B26s Yak3 190D). Is it that freaking hard to ask? 

It's an awesome freaking game but the flight distances for small fights on a huge scattered map where everyone is in a 190D isn't winning over the fighter crowd and it's just stupid when I log in on a Saturday afternoon and it doesn't look like a damn thing is going on. Most people can only take Jabo sorties to a base 10 minutes away for so long...

nshida, have you considered consulting a lawyer before potentially getting yourself into hot water by possibly recommending (or not) AH?

Or maybe you could meditate or pray about it.

Do you fast?
