Snowmen!
« on: February 12, 2024, 07:04:58 PM »
I honestly don't care what my troops look like when they are inbound a maproom.
But snowmen in February?
New players will either be confused or off-put. Simple fix. Right?

This advertisement that the game managers are disconnected to "reality" and are letting things go on their own can't help build or retain numbers.

LOL. Seems that HT was a week late on resetting the camp and you expect the snowmen to be gone too?!

From my experience with HT he's more interested in playing poker then people paying their subscriptions or people getting muted without a reason which I'm sure you know is why I pulled the plug. (I've mentioned it enough that most people who don't care don't want to hear it again but I mention it just in case you missed it)

I think you might be setting your expectations a bit high if you expect them to be gone before July!

Can I play him for coding?
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Yepp, you can't build snowmen in February. Plenty of snow here, up to the crack but it's feathery. You can't roll big snowballs when it's -25C or -13F. So definitely no snowmen until late March!

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

Would it help if snowmen were dressed in camo?

One simple word... attention.  Just like a few other frequent flyers that don't play anymore.

It seems that whenever I get an email that I have a PM I come back to check and then get interested in all the drama going on again. Lolz

It is fun to come out from under the bridge from time to time and stir the pot.

I'm sure I'll lose interest at some point and go away. I have found that I'm spending more and more time on the IL2 boards and less and less time here. Then you guys can continue to bicker among yourselves. lol

Sometimes I think the drama on the boards is more entertaining then the game. Seems some of you must feel the same or maybe are just a bit too thin skinned.

Maybe a new thing for each month. They can be Easter bunnies in April.

It's a reminder that it's the day before Hallmark Valentines day and you still haven't gotten your wife anything and reservations at decent restaurants are gone and getting a table at Applebees will be rough.

Oh crap! I gotta go!
