Don't worry pimpjoe, they're just Rotor's teeny-bopper fan club hanging on to his shirt tails. I mean, let's face it, if they can't even come up with their own sig then who is gonna take 'em seriously.

Nice post Moose, well thought out and to the point and not insulting. It took me a little by surprise, but in a very positive way. You are very articulate.

I think over the next several months we are all going to look back on this point and time and laugh at all that transpired on this board. By that time we will all truly be a Band of Brothers.

Salute!

Hey moose... good post, I think most of the regulars here feel the same way (see below too).

No Arlo. I do not see what you mean. Do YOU see the support Moose's post recieved. Have YOU "gotten" it yet?

I replied in more detail in the topic titled "ubb r0xx0rz"

Just be regular Arlo OK? If you think you are, you're not. You did this on your entry to BigWeek too. After several weeks of "trying to make right" all was well there too. Just mellow out, join in and keep pushing for the SCW stuff.

I see the bandwagon ...... it's big ... it's loud .... it's a bandwagon.

Ok PodWesty .... you don't see what I mean. If you wanna try to convince me that I, personally, came in being an bellybutton and everyone I've poked fun at hasn't been, cite your examples and I'll see about making restitution on a case by case basis. If I see no reason to make restitution and you, in clear conscience, still do, what will you want then?

(NOW do you see what I mean?)

Arlo, this isn't about restitution or making amends. It's about just plain stopping the baloney. I can't say it any different or clearer other than it was't funny, it's still not funny and you're not a victim, so just stop trying to play one.
Instead of trying to have the last word in with Lazs, whom IMO you've provoked, just turn the "inane" spigot off and post about planes, WWII, the SCW or baseball....or whatever.

I do not understand why the concept of 'HTC does things differently' is so hard to grasp.

New players to this game usually keep a very low profile for a while, but in the last week I've watched the AW crowd come in make noise about almost everything that we do different here in Aces High. What, is what we've had for 2 years not good enough for all you sim experts?

Time to get the picture most of us have been drawing in bright colors for ya - you're not in kansas anymore, and things here are done a little differently. Instead of griping about it and advocating for it to be done 'your way', why don't you just conform?

I usually don't like to post anything that will hurt or offend people, but some of the AW guys have offended me by their attitude towards a game I'm pretty happy with. 'Change this, change that' - well, what if I dont wan't it to change? I like the way scenarios are done, I like this message board, and I like this company.

I think it's time for some of you to get off of your high thrones you were given in that 'other sim' because it means jack s**t here. Your ability to be taken seriously and respected in this community is not connected in any way with your years of experience in another.

I'm not saying that you're bad people, but you have to come off a little less condescending to veterans of 'this' community. There were 3 lifeboats from which to choose from when AW went down. You chose AH but I bet a dollar no one in the other two would feel any differently. We are not the Carpathia, you are not 1st class passangers off the Titanic. You're new players and no longwinded post will change that fact.

A year down the road if you want to squeak at the CM team, perk points, 'how this community isn't for you', the ubb, lazs, htc, or this ubb, feel free and I bet people will take you about 100% more seriously then we do now.

Byte me hard moose...get a humour implant while you're at it also. Lots of folks have played both these games for years. I don't give a rats bellybutton who has played "for how long" so just button it.

p.s UBB sucks, get over it.

Hey Westy...I guess I missed why you stormed out of Big Week again, it must have been a real pisser because you went off so fast it seems like you forgot your sense of humour.

If I find it want me to dust it off and return it? <insert whichever instant gremlin you wish here>
