Title: Closure on a shadow cast:
Post by: Ripsnort on June 14, 2001, 08:07:00 AM
Repost of the other thread:

Folks, this issue at my end has been resolved. Geemans account has been closed and Geeman and I will fly HTH when he feels the urge to fly...this is the best resolution for all concerned, since when he is in the main, he wants to fly against his dad rather than with me (Due to the TA experiences, he's used to Dad letting him shoot him down), this will quell any fears that Geeman may be feeding me information.

I'd like everyone to walk away from this thread, forgive all, including myself, for any shadow this may have cast on this fine community, and continue to support HTC and its product, they have listened and implemented so many of the Users suggestions, I cannot for the life of me see anyone leaving a product such as this with the fine customer support we get.

So, please, let us leave this ugly thread, forgive all involved, and carry on.

Thank you.

Cya in a few days.

Sorry to hear that Ripsnort. It always brought a smile to see Geeman flying online and thinking my son could have someone close to his age to wing with.

Ah, Rip.

It's a GAME man!

Why let anyone ruin Geeman's fun?

Ya know, a looooooooong time ago, my eldeset son and I played DOS AW on two different computers while sitting next to each other. We still laugh and talk about that game now and again.

Reinstate Geeman. Ignore what anyone else says about it.

It's a GAME guys.

Geeman, kick Rip in the shins until he signs you up again!

Just to throw in a little of my experience:

Years back, in Fighter Duel, me, and another fella dueled Fd-Ski (now you know what the FD stands for ;-) and his roommate/wingman T-Bird.

We lost to come in 2nd in that particular event... did I feel like Ski and T-Bird cheated because they could just tell each other what to do and see where they were while me and my wingman were limited to text comms?

Nope. You gotta admit though, it gives a good advantage.

Couldn't give a rat's bellybutton whether or not you use Geeman's account to watch the action from his point of view/team. It is YOUR 60$, if you don't mind paying that much money then you can do whatever you want with those two accounts.

I mean really... some people take this sh*t too f*ckin seriously... grow a pair and get some humility, they come in handy.(not directed at you Rip, just generally speaking)

I say (and this is a code 2 no crapper) Screw em!   :mad: Beside's I don't see were it's listed that your son can fly next to you in the TOS manual!

you've gone too far rip

you were all for my account being cancelled and since you haven't gotten that yet you do the most despicable thing possible and cancel an innocent bystanders account.

you wouldn't even be in this predicament if you didn't gloat to me on private channel about how clever you are... and neither would I

Rip I've always known you as a fair person who has done what he can to help the community in Aces High but this tiem I think you're wrong to have done what you've done and close your sons account its up to you how you spend your $60 and if its something that brings you and your son together strengthening the bond between you then quite frankly you are stupid to do anything to stop that and should immediately reconsider, just take a look at him and ask yourself if the opinion's of a few faceless people here matter over the enjoyment of your son.

Shame on you Rip I thought perhaps you were above all that.

We've had CentralJr and a host of Central's other 10 kids in all the countries spying for sometime now. Once they can spell, we'll have all the info needed.

Okay, here's the deal...

I think that Rip and Citabria should both attend the con, we'll have a boxing ring setup there.. Bets will be handled by..... Pyro or HT.. can't trust them FDBs.

You two throw down, winner gets half of the money that's bet and all the bragging rights.

Shortly after that, me and Nethawk can go at it. The winner (me) will get half the money bet.. and then gets to use the box of bandaids I'm supposed to bring to patch up Nethawk.

I do not believe that Rip canceled his sons account without thought.  For some of the posts here to express “shame” on him for doing this is beyond me.

Have you considered that now, after the events of the past few days, Geeman could in fact fly unmolested by his country mates?  I am not saying that everyone is in someway bad; however, it is the choice few that are important here.  Geeman is young, impressionable, and could be an easy target for someone’s malicious intent online.  Now that accusations of “cheating” have been thrown around what is to stop the same people from attacking Geeman online thinking it was Rip or that he was possibly observing.

Ripsnort accomplished two things by canceling the Geeman account.  He has headed off any future accusations of cheating by using his sons account.  I think that this is a noble thing he did.  He threw himself on the sword to bring an end to the “fight”.  Second, he has possibly saved his son from unwarranted or wanted attacks.  Do I know for sure, no, this is my take on the situation.

Also for all of you that didn’t seem to notice, DeajVu would have ended up telling us where the damn CV was anyway.

There's this guy from Ohio that while on vaction here wanted to do some night fishing. I was across the creek that night; catchin catfish like mad... the dude from Ohio could'nt catch nothin.

I hollered to the guy to come over to my side.. the fishin wuz fine.. but he declined, indictaing he couldn't swim all that well. I turned on my EveReady Spotlight and told the guy he could walk over on the beam... but he again elected to remain where he was. Chuckling; I asked him why..

"Because this is New York, and you'll prolly turn off the light when I'm halfway across"

I don't think he'd have a snoball's chance in hell in Texas.

to all those slimebuckets who have less morals than a worm. you have caused the cancelation of a childs enjoyment with his father. pray i never find you becuse in my books you are nothing more than a childmolester.

Hehe, nice Geeb. Child molester's? Must be the crack.

I really wasn't gonna reply to any of this dribble, but....

I have seen both participants do some really viscious things to the general population in AH. One no better than the other in my opinion. Both often lack the maturity to just walk away from a bad situation. Both, it seems lack the social skills to deal with a simple problem known as life. Let it go. As stated many times before, this is afterall a game. Focus on the people you like and ignore the ones you don't. Don't advertise to the rest (unless you have political aspirations). Life is simple, either you like it or you don't.  :)
