Oh good! Thats the best news Ive heard all day.

Please dont subject us to these worthless diatribes while your off sulking on your hiatis. BTW, as far as me not liking you, its not personal, I cant stand any whiny arsed people. I for one will be glad to see one less crybaby in the game this summer.

Muhah X2 the first time I met on on the arena and you got shot down, you were the whiney one.

Toad: everyone I insulted had it coming that is they posted something to deserve it.

My first clue that our mr. ripley is one to open his mouth without engaging his brain is when he persisted in arguing about Windows XP and the alt-tab psychedelic experience. As anyone with an Nvidia board and XP can tell ya, it's not the sync rate, it's the palletized textures that cause this.

To prove his ignorance I'll bet he'll continue with this argument even now. My question still stands mr. sid or ripley or whatever the hell you go by, do you have Windows XP even yet?

But of course!

After all, they had the nerve to actually post an opinion that did not agree with YOURS!

Is there.. indeed, can there even BE a greater sin?

What ever is the world coming to!

Those arrogant, rude, immature dweebs!

I guess I implied that everyone with an Nvidia card and XP had the problem. However, that isn't what I meant. Only that everyone I've talked to that had the problem solved it by disabling palletized textures.

Perhaps your palletized textures are already disabled? If so, enable them and then alt-tab out a few times, I'd be interested to know your situation?

Just as in life, it's not always fair. How folks deal with this reality varies greatly.

You have those who want a handout due to adversity, and will not make much of an effort to achieve in life, because they no longer have to.

There are those who live each day, not taken back by adversity, they just make adjusments in their lives and keep on living.

Then there are those who work twice as hard to overcome the adversity, walking away with the satisfaction along with the benefit of their extra effort.

Some believe in the premise that anyone who has risen to the top should be brought down to the levels of others, in an effort to find equality...share that wealth.

The percieved MA inbalance is similar in many ways...some want every aspect to be equal and balanced...have HT build an equalizer into the game...an unchallenging and vanilla existence.

Others, just play...oblivious to the heated concerns of a few, just having fun...Ignorance is bliss?

Then there are those who reach down deep, get a little pissed off, and go to war looking for your head the entire way.

If the Bishops had more fields when the war starts or late war rides while others rode the early stuff only, then I would agree, that would be unfair. As to numbers of players and the quest for parity, if that were to become the norm, then life in the MA would mirror an existence similar to that of living in an old folks home...Salisbury Steak on Monday's, Spaghetti on Tuesday's along with endless reruns of Cacoon. No thanks.

I hope HT leaves it alone...it is inherently natural and fluid. It will come around to all of us:)

Great post Rude!

That's a bad example because the reason for the low Rook numbers is that they are down to 10 bases and a great deal of them switched countries to get reset perk points. So the unbalance in numbers wasn't created by any inherent problems of the game but rather from perk greed and petty dweebishness on the part of the country switchers.

Coming from a mere commmoner, I will not dignify your comment with an answer. Good day sir!

Blatent lie. First time I saw u in the arena you were calling one of my squadron a cheater/hack I called you to the duelin areana and you didnt show. Next time I seen you in the arena you were whining about your pampers or your hemmoroid creme and I killed you . I killed you a few minutes later also.

MrRiplEy[H] · « **Reply #70 on:** June 10, 2002, 12:57:57 AM »

Oh you may be right I forgot our first encounter, stats do show you shot me down first.

Btw: I called you to DA after you mouthed off on the third encounter and YOU chickened out.

The reason for me not coming to DA the first time was as you well know that I was in middle of a sortie, I went to DA immediately after it. That however left you sufficient time to whine on CH1 and logout skipping the humiliating loss in the DA.

MrRiplEy[H] · « **Reply #71 on:** June 10, 2002, 01:00:09 AM »

AKAK: why do you persist on that theory? I have posted the numbers when fields were even and it shows constistently the same difference in numbers. You're wrong akak.

MrRiplEy[H] · « **Reply #72 on:** June 10, 2002, 01:06:20 AM »

After all, they had the nerve to actually post an opinion that did not agree with YOURS!

No, Toad, it's when people persist on something that is clearly wrong - like saying they know better than me of the situation on the MA during the time I play it daily. That's just hilarious.

Now, AKAK, you must have missed all the grateful players who downloaded the patch from the locations I provided them. I helped people to fix the problem during a time when hardly nobody knew of a fix. Thanks a lot for trying to (again, wrongfully) supply people with completely wrong facts.

The fact remains that if you won't run the refresh rate fix your games will most likely run at 60hz. This was the primary reason for the corruption.

Disabling palettized textures must change the way AH handles textures in a way that circumvents the problem.. That however does not mean the refresh rate / color depth problem has disappeared.

I'm happy AKAK if you really ignored all this and currently play your games at 60hz refresh rate, because you really deserve the headaches.

No, Ripley, it's when you start thinking YOUR opinion is the Gospel truth and the only possible correct answer.

You continually spout that unequal numbers in a persistent, 24/7, unlimited log in/log out, pay-to-play gaming arena are "wrong".

You refuse to even consider that it is quite possible that unequal numbers in a persistent, 24/7, unlimited log in/log out, pay-to-play gaming arena are simply a characteristic of that type of arena.

And, indeed, every other persistent, 24/7, unlimited log in/log out, pay-to-play Air Combat gaming arena has had this characteristic. To date, no device has been found to change that characteristic in the way that you apparently desire.

I see over in your "scientific polling example" thread that the numbers have changed once again and you have the sniffles over it.

I guess we found the answer to whether or not Sir Ripley the Chivalrous' campaign to enlighten the unwashed Bish masses and convert them to the One, True Faith of AH then?

Or, maybe its just this characteristic of the MA acting once again?

The pendulum continues to swing?

But then that can't be can it? Because your judgement of "wrong" would be non-germane to the issue.

You don't have to answer, I know you're not posting anymore since you've already made your "final" post several times.
