In accordance with the FoIA, we are releasing another batch of our declassified files. The file we are releasing this week are the files we gathered during our sneak peak view of the AH Wiki. Under much duress, HiTech agreed to give S.A.P.P. an early sneak peak of the upcoming Aces High Wiki site. My first impressions were, "whoa, a Wiki?" but after seeing the site myself and getting to navigate it a bit, I realized the Wiki site will be a good idea, a central location for all the information we S.A.P.P. can use to funnel our vast library of knowledge to you, the peons.
Enjoy and remember that this is still a work in progress and HiTech has been gracious enough to let us "leak" this information out.

Only when it's contrary to their view I've found <BG>
But since we are all in agreement that S.A.P.P. is just plain awesome, they won't have any disagreements with its accuracy.

Didn't you read the Wiki?
Aces High is a combat flight simulator and massively multiplayer online game for the PC. It was created by HiTech Creations and S.A.P.P. and released on May 8, 2000. This day will be forever known as "May 8th, 2000".

Wonder what HT thinks of your edited version.

Now that was the FUNNIEST wiki I have ever read :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Wonder what HT thinks of your edited version.
What makes you think that the crew at HTC aren't part of SAPP? Have they ever denied it? Why do you suppose my 38Gs are almost unbreakable? Do you know where Hitech got his craving for Craggenmore Scotch?
SAPP has ways..... :noid
Of course it's a secret so don't tell anyone ;)

Your ammunition is made of depleted uranium and your P-38s are made of titanium. All SAPP P-38s have auto-lead computing gunsights. You also use rocket fuel.
Secrets revealed :)

Just wait for it. All the new guys are gonna be worshiping S.A.P.P. soon!
:rofl :rofl
-
Why do you suppose my 38Gs are almost unbreakable?
I have seen your landings. So that can't be true.
Unless its a part of the conspiracy :noid :noid

I'd rather have 20 sheep per person, then a government debt of $30,000 per person. :uhoh

Surely good marketing for AH. :rolleyes:
Be sure to continue such behavior in AH wiki so we will have a very very nice source of accurate and non biased information.

"In addition to a large assortment of aircraft, the most famous of which being the P-38"
Ok I stopped reading after that sentence, your kidding right? Compared to the Mustang,Spitfire,109 or Zero the P38 is "the" most famous? :lol

It was at 60 10 years ago, keep up.

What people still don't know is that a new, secret, more powerful group is infiltrating S.A.P.P. and will seize control of the game soon....... :noid
After S.A.P.P.'s successful Anti-Squadron measure which resulted in the online arenas being split up, S.A.P.P. decided to capitalize on their success and ordered HiTech to close down the H2H arenas indefinitely on 8/27/2007. This night is now famously referred to as the "Night of a 1000 Broken Glasses" due to the collective high pitched whines of the H2H squeaker population that resulted in glassware for miles being shattered.
:rofl

While funny, posting on a public wiki discouraging remarks about HTC's customer base is sort of like a knife in the back. I would think that those who developed and run a game that most of you find enjoyable should be treated a little better in a public forum. But I guess that's just my opinion and those who like to bite the hand that feeds them can do whatever they'd like.
-
It's just a joke, man, it will be gone in less than a day! Just like when, I don't remember who, edited the "Persona non grata" page on Wiki, inserting what happens on these boards when the Skuzzinator is in action.
Take it easy, I'm sure people at HTC are. ;)
-
Actually you're creating more work for those at HTC. Who do you think has to re-edit it or initiate a restore back to the original document? I'm guessing the company that is referenced in the article. Granted anybody can go edit it again, but this little joke costs the company image points and time spent having to fix it. I'd rather have them focused on improving their product.
-
actually, HTC does not appear to have nor care to have any control over the wikipedia wiki. That is public domain, and as such the public need to be properly informed.
also, 99% of the people looking at that wiki already know about Aces High 2, or are currently a player.
Hopefully they don't know about the conspiracy though... :noid

Some wikipedia nerd will catch it before HTC ever gets wind of it... :lol

Nope, I think it'll be one of Wiki editor. Wikipedia has volunteering editors that checks the change made to pages and correct joke such the one Ack-ack made.

What joke?

<takes his tin hat and slowly, carefully puts it on.... :noid>

Fairly stupid publicity trick
... but hey, it is "S.A.P.P. - guys who need 2 engines to get it up" ;) :P

I don't think we put HiTech or his company in any bad light. Thankfully, his sense of humor is far better than yours. You really need to lighten up Francis.

Are you suggesting that the pilots and co-conspirators of SAPP are giving HTC a bad name? For shame!
Could be we're just weeding out those without a sense of humor for the good of the game...... :D

the Mika song: "Relax, take it eeeeeeaaaaaasssssyy,......" comes to mind
Actually, I seriously doubt anyone will have to change it back.
It will probably be one of the WikipediaBots created by the Wikipedian JumboNerds Society (WJNS), which destroys any remarks violating the sanctity of Wikipedia and Sophie.
-
Wow, I didn't know S.A.P.P. had anything to do w/ AHII besides the fact that they are a "Secret Association of P-38 Pilots".
That was a funny read :rofl :rofl
-
Yeah, i got accepted into sapp.
I do love the 38, but the A20G is way better.
Needless to say, i turned them down.
Thank you, but.... no thank you. :salute

This day will be forever known as "May 8th, 2000".p
Brilliant!

"Aces High is a combat flight simulator and massively multiplayer online game for the PC. It was created by HiTech Creations and SQUEAKERS and released on May 8, 2000. This day will be forever known as "May 8th, 2000".p"
Huh?
Lol
For those who desire fuller immersion into on-line WWII combat, there are special events, which are mostly dominated by P-38 SQUEAKER pilots

Yup little to learn flying the A20 as it is so spit like. The 38 is still a much better aircraft for those that take the time to learn it.

We have no control over our Wikipedia entry and it would be against their conflict of interest policies for us to edit it.
The AH Wiki will be a different story and we want the format to flourish. That won't happen if we don't take it seriously.

I just saw that the Wiki page for AH has been vandalized. Some of the page (prior to vandalism) was written by me. I did it on my own time to do something helpful. I have my own life, job, time, etc. and don't in the slightest like seeing jerks vandalize the page causing work for others, such as myself, to clean up.
For those of you who know the people who did this, I ask for your help in discouraging such vandalism. I ask for you to step up and to help take care of it.
Why is it there are so many losers in the world who think it's funny to crap all over other people's efforts? For every person who does this sort of stuff, I wish something they invested time in would be screwed up by vandals so that they could get a little taste.

The funny thing is that you don't even get the joke and yet you post a comment. To me, this was well worth the collective effort of S.A.P.P. in making this joke possible.

Thought these snipets of the file were funny.

Yes, it was the English-language world-wide Wiki, not the AH-only Wiki -- I wasn't ever confused about that. I contribute from time to time to various articles on the world-wide Wiki. I'll do the same on the AH Wiki when it's up, but I won't get confused on which is which.
My issue isn't with humor. My issue is when people mess up something I work on and cause me extra work to deal with it. If I knew people would go clean it back up in a couple of days, I wouldn't have gotten as angry (althogh there is fallout work as explained below) -- but there was no way for me to know that. In fact since almost never do people who mess things up go back to clean up, there was no other reasonable assumption to make.
For example, let's say I go spraypaint stuff on your garage door. Could be some humorous phrasing, some true literary gems and maybe a rude graphical depiction or two (always good for a laugh), but I'd bet you'd assume that you'd have to get your butt out there to repaint the door yourself. Likely, you'd be peeved at having to do that. Of course, I could come back in after you repainted it and say, "Hey, don't be miffed. I was going to come back and fix it if you hadn't beaten me to it. Also, did you figure out yet that it was your garage door and not the welcome mat out back?" Then your wife notices that the garage door is now a slightly different color, decides that the house shutters no longer match the garage, and pulls the shutters down for you to repaint and to remount.
Anyway, I'm over it, but the fallout is that moderators are now in there (attracted at times when there are editing wars over pages), noticing that some of the images are not correctly annotated for source, and yanking the images out of the page. So, I'll go in, try to establish correct annotation to the old pictures or add pictures that I can annotate myself (as they are my images), or whatever, to get the page to be decent looking again.

Hmm I can see your point..... however your comparison is way off as no physical property has been damaged. Here in Texas you can shoot someone spray painting your property at night.... if the dog doesn't get him first. If you change an unsecured site... well.....
As I was telling Skuzzy in another thread, I never use wiki (was meaning wikipedia) as the couple of times I have been there much of the info was incorrect or suspect. In searches I pass any wikipedia links. H e said that would not be the case here for AH, so we'll see.
-
Great reply Brooke. Had nothing to do with what I was talking about, but the analogy rocked.
SAPP inspired wiki entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aces_High_%28computer_game%29
HTC "official" wiki entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aces_High_%28video_game%29
If you were to search for "Aces High" in wikipedia then the second "official" entry is presented.
But it would appear now that someone has tattled, they both point to the same entry.

The comparison seems apt. If I have to invest my time as drudgery (whether it is 30 minutes of work on physical property or 30 minutes of work on non-physical property, and regardless of whether you value the property or not), it's all equally annoying to me.
