Do we really need to argue about a comma or who was right? the fact is that without the word "over" it is confusing and the sentence was improper. That being said, whoopie doo. We all do that from time to time on these boards.

Simply ask for a clarification.

Shouldn't this argument have ended with the Holy Invocation of His Supreme Omnipotence Doc Doom?

It shouldn't have been an arguement. You try to bury the hatchet but some dog comes by, digs it up and starts slingin it around.

Then he brags about how he didn't have to lock the thread on the WW2OL board. Of course he doesn't, since dissenting opinions are barred at the door.

Of course that is all the fault of the publisher, or whatever.

He was refering to the fact that someone from AH went to the WWIIOL site and joined the 7 day trial just to post and got extremely rude. As is typical, instead of getting rude back many just tried to debate with the guy. he was having none of it and did nothing but rant and rave.

Mini is right about this much: His posts are strikingly similiar in their construction to one of his WWIIOl promoting predecessors.

Ahhh SW, sorry to butt in here but reading the thread in the WW2OL forum it looks like at least a few of them have actually downloaded and signed up for their two weeks. There are a few unhappy people in WW2OL looking for a new game (just as there in AH), especially on the Axis side. So don't be suprised if you do get some ex-WW2OL newbies in AH, and be nice to em, they might just stay.

And Imsneaky's handle in WW2OL is the same (imsneaky) so I don't think its hardcase.

I will cry myself to sleep tonight knowing that you think I am a disgrace to the community, Hortlund. Seriously.

Imsneaky, welcome back to the States! I hope your move goes well. You must forgive me, but I am going to have to consider you as full of it for another 6 weeks or so until you actually show that you have an interest in AH beyond using its services to promote WWIIOL. I will reassess when and if you show differently.

As for your high noon, mano-a-mano, showdown-at-the-WWIIOL-corrall challenge, I am afraid I must decline. It just sounds entirely too homoerotic for my tastes. Beyond that, I have absolutely zero interest in WWIIOL. I never claimed to have any. Not playing WWIIOL is where my mouth is, so to speak. I am flattered, though!

I'll be nice to new players...

but I despise telemarketers, and anyone trying to sell me on a game I know I don't like is no better than a telemarketer.

They must all perish in a brimstone ridden fiery hell run by Hitler with Stalin as second in command.

IMO of course.

"Shouldn't this argument have ended with the Holy Invocation of His Supreme Omnipotence Doc Doom?"

just knowing that drunken blowhard is part of WWIIOL assures me that all the modeling is flawed and biased in the extreme. The sim can't be worth even a small amount of effort to download and try .... free or not, if they are dumb enough to keep that blowhard. Still... A sim full of 13 year olds might appreciate him so maybe they know what they are doing. I bet he can finaly shoot someone down now that he has some "control" over the situation tho.

imsneak... that is the difference. I say... If you are interested in trying AH just shut up and do it. it's free. OTOH... I am not in the least interested in trying WWIIOL even if I were paid by the hour to do so... well... I might do it if I were paid enough...

That's like the post I gave as the first example that would be fine to post at WWIIOL if I can get the forums opened up.

The fact is, his post was nothing more than an advertisement for WW2OL, no more or no less. It wasn't, "Hey golly gee williker guys, here's this new game I found" kind of a post but a spam sort of advert you sometimes unfortunately receive in your email. He even worded it like a frickin' advert, so don't come here and tell us he meant nothing but wine and roses with it. It was a blatent attempt at spamming an advert for WW2OL. That's what rubbed us the wrong way. It was in extremely bad form, just as your defending his actions are.

Heh, he was desperately hoping to avoid being noticed by the village idiot, but no such luck.

How do you find the time to post so much between your military duties and packing for your impending move halfway across the world, Notsosneaky?

What does it matter if the flight model is no better than the old RR arenas of AW? The FA community can raise their heads up high because finally there's a game that has a worst flight model than theirs.

Lev was talking about a location not a person(s) or group of people, so therefore There is correct.

Nice try though, NEXT!
