The free trial is 2 weeks long as clearly stated on the home page in the English language.

I think you're right. It just didn't say anything on Steam so I wasn't sure.

I think I"m done with the condescending BS like. " in the English language." I've done a lot to help players and former players get back into the game, I've done Linux testing and things for people here but jerks like you and your buddy seem to be intent on pushing me away. If that is your goal you are very close to accomplishing it.

I mean, most of your posts are just complaining about the game and/or trying to paint the game in a bad light, on said game's forum, I'm failing to comprehend why you'd even think no one would be upset.

I'm sure there will be people who will appreciate your testing of Linux, but in my (likely unwanted) opinion, any goodwill you garnered from that post you just lost by making this thread.

This is probably the 15th time you've said you're done/quit/over it/leaving/gone, so at this point it's more like the boy who cried wolf.

Let me get something straight,.... you state you were muted for posting about a supposed cheat, while you mention another possible cheat in basically the same breath.
Ok look, I'm not trying to be mean, but ya just can't write this stuff.

This rule #7 has been so since March 08, 2008, or prior.

It's been a 2 week trial since day one, that I remember.

Paying Players who want and do the leg work for more numbers probably do not appreciate a former player or anyone, bashing the game AGAIN, which impedes that. This is not rocket science.

Actual game play is NOT much different than AW, if not exact. The only time AW MAY have been a little different is before the AOL journey in 95. Dweebleism was born.

Do you also notice, players don't have anything negative to say when you help someone? Because they appreciate anyone helping anyone. It's just a stand up thing to do and good biz. But they don't like this. We're wired that way, it should be that way.

I'm not sure it can be made any more clear.

Hazmatt I appreciate your insight..

Don't listen to Animl-AW...this is his BBS ya know...

Thanks for the Linux info in the other thread..

Who do you think was using a cheat?

Name names man  :banana:

I think some think some cheat as they are just that good in their planes of choice...and some of the other strangeness is the internet at that particular moment in time..

I saw what you posted before and if someone is that hard up to get a win to pad his ego, I say go for it as they have bigger issues...

My problem with the "cheater, cheater, CHEATER!!!" accusations online is the effect it might have on new players.  While it might be "just joking" or "for fun", it's got to paint the game in a negative light for those who are just trying it out.  There is one Knit player who refers to all opponents as "cheaters".  It might seem cute to him, and maybe to others, but seems likely to create suspicion for those who don't know the player and the game.  Also, there are some who seem to justify every loss with accusations of cheating -- still not good for retaining new players.

Maybe its just me but when I go out to eat, if the service and food sucks, I will just not go there again. No need to air laundry and give bad yelp reviews online because most complaints are just self-entitled BS.

The problem HTC has with cheating accusations is when it becomes a “how to” thread.

Well I don't suffer from Repetition compulsion.

You do the leg work for more numbers and retaining people

It's you who thinks you're special and ignore long standing rules....and post political crap 2-3 times per week, recycle redundant topics on plane sets and 2 sided MA, even hijacking threads that have zero to do with it. more than 50 of your political threads locked. Yep you're special. Yep I'm the problem <eye roll>

Being called a cheater used to be a badge on honour, knowing you'd finally crossed from suckage to learned fighter..
These days being called a cheater is like being called a nazi by some blue haired creep with a nose ring; a meaningless word thrown at anything they cannot begin to understand...

Where’s the beef?
