« on: November 15, 2001, 02:11:00 PM »
had about 3 hours to play last night - signed on it was dusk of course - oh well gotta find something to do for an hour til i can see again...maybe salvage a little playing time.

i liked the idea at first but....it might be ok with lanterns at the field or something but in its current incarnation is just a nuisance.

(rude - i expect to be a contestant for your weekly award btw  :))

I seem to remember people commenting on something about use of exclamation marks and all letters in caps for it to be considered  ;).

I don’t really like it either.  Seems like a lot of people log when night comes.  It also bugs the crap out of my wife when I forget to turn the bright down  :D.

I don't care for the night.  It tells me "Time to log."  Fortunately it is short or it would tell me "Time to cancel account."  HTC aren't dummies.   :)

I like the night...but I must admit I revert to a buff since I can't hit toejame at night.

I wouldn't vote to remove it.

Fish...shame on you for starting this thread..you will be flamed in the squad forum :p

Nighttime is a challenge, you either rise to it or you don't.


Its a whole new ballgame in some respects.
Can be fun, can be terrifying, can be a great time to sneak in a GV sortie.

I personally like the nighttime. Its not so long that it becomes annoying and it adds a dimension of realism that I like.  I wish the icons got shorter at night though.  You could really pull some sneaky stuff at night then.

I like the challenge of fighting at night.  Sure does lower my hit ratio though...

Nightime:

Log out for a bit and do one of the following:

1)As soon as the sun shows the faintest hint of setting, order a pizza to enjoy "all night long"

2) Reload the beer cooler, sampling two for temperature and "quality control". (Works well with #1 above.)

3) Spend some "quality time" talking to the wife  today's Oprah show, earning a few "brownie points"

4) Take the dogs out for a quick walk; they are always appreciative

5) Load the dishwasher or run the vac over the rugs for MAJOR brownie points.

Then, jump back into AH as the "Sun Also Rises".

I figure HT put it in as an intentional break so we all don't get monitor eyestrain or keyboard/controller wrist problems.
