Let me put it this way: No amount of saying what you saw or read will remove the memories *I* have of visiting those boards during WWIIOl's release to witness threads about AH turn into an uneducated ghetto smack talking match.

So, in conclusion- yes, it is a fact that AH was repeatedly flamed before the boards were made closed.

Maybe the more gullible will believe your version of the tale, but I can see right through your lil' charade you've got going on here.

Imsneaky one feature AH has that I urge you and your WW2OL mates to try is the free 8 player head to head arena. The entire AH download is relatively small, and if your computer can handle WW2OL it should be able to handle AH no problem. Get together with your buddies, and if you need advice I'm sure there's some AH vets who'll fly free multiplayer to help you out. Try it out, what do you have to lose?

OK, let's say we get a couple of forums opened up and
AKS \/\/ulfe decides to go there and post about AH. Here is a couple of examples, one good and one bad.

Quote

Hey guys, AKS \/\/ulfe here, saw a post on our forums a while back about a free trial for WWIIOL. Not really interestedin WWIIOL but I thought I would stop by here and let you guys know about the free two week trial AH has going 365 days a year.

The deal goes like this, you get two weeks free and don't have to provide a credit card.........

Here are some of the features you might find interesting:
Late model aircraft
Many large ships
The ability to fly Allied aircraft as German and German aircraft as Allied
XX total number of aircraft
XX total number of ground vehicles
XX total number ships
shore batteries
Feature
feature
feature
etc
etc
etc

Hey, I personally think AH is a better game but I guess I'm prejudiced. I also am intelligent enough to understand that most people here would not agree with me which is cool, we all like what we like.

Anyway, one of your guys came to our forums a while back to let us know about a free trial for WWIIOL. That's cool and he obviously loves the game but I love AH and figured why not let you guys know about AH too. Hey it never hurts to give it a free try right?

Anyway if you choose to check it out look me up and I'll show ya the ropes in AH.

Later guys

Nothing wrong with this at all, he doesn't have to come in say he doesn't like his game or that he thinks WWIIOL is better. He can be truthfull, nothing wrong with it at all. It's all about the presentation.

Now for the wrong approach.

Quote
Hey WWIIOL a**wipes, one of you punkazz bitc**s came to ur forums to post about the free trial for lame excuse for a game. Well I'm here to tell ya about a real game.
Our game is great
Your game sucks
our game is great
your game sucks
our game blah
blah blah blah
blah blah blah

Anyways, if any of you punks are done wastin time in WWIIOL then you might want to come on over and try out a real game.

OK maybe this is how you feel but are you showing any sign of intelligence by writing something like that?

I mean by saying something like that you have basically put a sign on your forhead that says "aim flame thrower here"!

I would say that you get what you are looking for.

No, I was being sarcastic. I think George Bush is the Antichrist.

So when are you acting upon your interest in AH and starting your free trial account?

Furious · « **Reply #95 on:** June 03, 2003, 02:08:55 PM »

I love the implication that if you were one of the folks screwed by CRS on ww2ol's debut, you have no right to say anything now because the game has changed so much.

Thats just plain stupid.

When someone craps in your mouth, you don't go back to them later and ask for more to see if the flavor has changed. Instead you warn everyone that these guys will crap in your mouth.

...and again I will reiterate that killer is a coward. He makes snide-assed remarks behind the safe a cozy walls of his closed BBS. Chicken****.

So, if you learned what you came to learn, why stay? Just leave. That will have the side effect of changing the good/idiot ratio in a very favorable manner.

AKS\/\/ulfe · « **Reply #97 on:** June 03, 2003, 02:20:13 PM »

Are you educating me on how to present a review of a game or how to critique it? Sure looks like thats what you are attempting.

May I ask why? No, nevermind, I truly don't give a toejam why you posted that.

I will say this: Playnet USED to have public forums, I NEVER posted there. I only read the infantile drivel posted there.

Infantile drivel is a lenient description of what I read, to say the least.

I wish you guys could be at least civil enough to keep this thread from being locked. What you, as AH players, SHOULD be doing is encouraging Imsneaky and his buds to check out AH, not trying your damndest to drive him away and convince him our Community is a collection of rude jerks.

Really Imsneaky, if you download AH and check out free multiplayer I'd be happy to pop in and help you get started.

AKS\/\/ulfe · « **Reply #99 on:** June 03, 2003, 03:00:04 PM »

Think he's sincere Airhead... seriously...?

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

Hortlund · « **Reply #100 on:** June 03, 2003, 03:06:40 PM »

Seriously, most of you guys "defending" AH in this and the previous thread are behaving like 13yrolds. Personally I think you are a disgrace to the community. But YMMV.

Except that Ring didn't come here and insult you guys or say your game sucked or anything like that. In fact his insinuation was that by your being here you must love your game but hey some of us can afford another game so if that's you why not check this one out too. Here's some of the features.

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.

Here is the predicament I am in. I am stationed in Sicily but I am moving back to the U.S. on the 10th of this month. That's less than a week away. Worse my computer and the rest of my express shipment gets packed up on friday. that is just 3 days away.

The rest of my household goods have already been packed out back in April. Those take about 60 days to get there so they have an expected delivery date of 1 July.

The express shipment takes 1 month to be delivered so it will also be around the first week of July. Give me a week or two to help the wife get the place set up and I will be back online.

That's when I expect to take advantage of it. Make me a deal though because I know you think I am being disengenuous, if I do this will you join me for two weeks in a free trial and multicrew bombers, tanks and stuff like that with me in WWIIOL? Couldn't hurt right? If it's free? Like I said, I am a game not some game groupie. If AH is fun you can expect to see more of me. It doesn't have to be more realistic than WIIOL becuse it won't be and that's not important to me. It just has to be fun.

I would also like the opprtunity to see if you are willing to put your money where your mouth is so to speak. You come off all cocky like you ave all the answers but I know that if you new WWIIOL like I know it you wouldn't act like that or say the stuff you say.

It's simple, you are calling me out like an old west gunfighter. So when I step out of the sallon onto the street are you going to go duck and hide or will you accept my challenge also?

If it helps at all, imagine a comma after the word "there". Or put the word "over" just before it, so it becomes "At least over there, Britian fits on the map..."

If he had done then then it would have been correct.

BUT HE DIDN'T.

He used it in the possessive context. Period.

You find that impressive? I guess you haven't played the Combat Theatre with an accurate ETO map lately. At least there Britain fits on the map in case you want to do late war matchups.

You were and are still wrong. Please persist. It's fun to watch.
