Wow-
I go on vacation, check in after a 2 weeks and not only is there NO new version, but a 40+ thread over good 'Ol Joemud.
Fellas...
This thread is a perfect insight read of the various personalities in AH which kinda cool actually. Including my rubbish. Check it out -
Joemud gets pissed off (again), throws out a post in anger. Not uncommon here, probably expected. Only a GOOD game can fire up the folks that way so all is good. Like Joe would quit anyway.
Can 'Ol boy vent and have people ignore it? Appearently not. And the wolves commence to pounce, which is OK too. I think they should. But, some of the suggestions from " get counceling" to "quit" is a bit more noteworthy than a simple heated post by Joe.
There are all kinds of responces, and man are they appropriate for the guys that make em.
Some guys say "ahhh, relax Joe", some go into long profiles on how labor-management interaction on human relations effect the community, blah blah blah, some tell it just the way it is (Fatty, go figure!) some just tell him to crap in his hat and see if in fact one size fits all, and others encourage him to QUIT.
I don't understand the last one, but it's a opinion I guess. Damn hard for HTC to update the game and make money if the hotter headed players are pushed out. Not only do you lose the guys you love to kill, but player base. That doesn't seem right.
My take on it is Joe is still one of the best pilots in the game,(top 100 for sure) and colorful too. Sit in on a RW session, you'll get to know the kid. If we all just hugged and Saluted everyone all the time it would take the fun out of competing. He has no problem firing out the BS on the open channel, yup, but isnt there a squelch command?
Bottom line is the reason multiPLAYER games are so much fun is there are many diffrent people online. Killing a nice and quiet AI pilot who doesn't get mad as hell at you on open chat sucks, kinda like hitting holes in one on a golf course all by yourself with noone to see it.
I say cancel the shrink sessions for Joe, he sounds like a 15 year old kid who is having fun and competing hard. Nothin wrong with that. Christ with his gun collection, he BETTER be a normal 15 yr old kid!
Check for a pair of 205's at yer 6 next week men. See all you Pacific time-zoners then.
Creamo
P.S. Oh,and for ya all that crack on spelling and such, there is not a spell checker in this damn overseas computer, please put down the grammar flame throwers, it's hot enough here.
