Title: "The Evil Within"
Post by: Midnight on June 04, 2006, 06:58:17 PM
Of Course, the clip-board sub-text the latest release of AH. The "Evil Con Mission" is coming up, and the quote implies that something "evil" is within this version.

What is the evil thing that shall be revealed at the Con?

Just my guess, but I think the B-29 Super Fortress has finally been added, and the evil con mission will have B29s with Nukes enabled... What could be more evil to the players in the MA who are not at the con?

They're adding a tomcat so we can blast FT bombers out of the sky with buffaloes.

B-29 with a nuke would be EVIL.

Evil lives here...

Nuke the horde! Nuke the horde!

I think nukes might be a good addition to the game. Blasting 300 players back to the tower in an eyeblink might just put this "fly to live" thing in perspective.

Fly to FIGHT  ;)

As long as I don't see the Death Star cresting the horizon in place of the sun, I'm game for anything

Hitech - "Now witness the firepower of this fully operational battle station."

Duh duh duh, duh da-duh, duh da-duh.

In ye olden daiz, you could get a preview of the evil con mission if you just knew the plane number.  Sometimes HTC would forget to lock out the plane, and then people would find strange things in the FE.

.plane 1
.plane 2
.plane 3
.
.
.

Sometimes it just takes a patient analysis of the FE and distributed files to figure it out.  Look at the textures, sounds, etc. for clues.

Then again, it could all be deception :)

I can only remeber two other clipboard comments

"They couldn't hit an elephant at this dis-". -Last words of General John Sedgewick, 1864.

"Jeepers" Well we all knew what that was about...

But as for "The Evil Within"

Well I did a search on google with WWII and "The Evil Within".

After trolling through a few webpages the best I could come up with was a reference to the book "The Lord of the Flies"... We see the innate evil within the boys which is a reflection of the evil within the entire mankind.

Perhaps (at the risk of sounding like a complete nut) :huh The guys at HTC are refering to a member(s) of the AHII community.......

























Yeh I like the B29 idea better as well


:D

The second ever ECM had some seriously irate customers as a result. It was so over the top that all subsequent ECMs have been denatured to some extent or another.

This was Captain ICI: he had the flight model of a Tie Fighter, could go 0-400mph in about 5 seconds and 400-0 in about the same (talk about overshoot). He carried modest guns, only a few .50cals IIRC, but he had an unlimited supply of 500lb bombs and rockets for which drag was not modelled. The uproar in the arena was priceless. Guys were typing "did you see that? What was it? Looked like a guy in tights, with a cape!", fun days indeed, even with 28.8 dial-up.

This is my take.

World War II -- 60 Years After: Too Much 'Past' And Not Enough History In Former Yugoslavia

In Serbia, President Boris Tadic
Speaking in Belgrade on 9 May, he warned that there must be no sympathy for those who "flirt with atrocities...[including the] killing of journalists or of people of a different race, religion, or skin color." He argued that World War II was not just a struggle against fascism or Nazism but also "a battle against the evil within us.
