Save the ink Duck, it's a waste of time, I've run into more open minded Taliban.
I and my squadmates have made what we consider good suggestions to HT in the past and if any response was recieved at all it was always an unequivocol NO. I mentioned having a little crosswind at ground level at some airfields occasionally to add some realism to take offs and landings, easily done...no dice. Maybe a little low level weather, ya know I've hear that low level clouds and socked in air bases were rumored to occurr during the war, apparently I was mistaken. NO CHANGES!! unless we thought of it, of course exploding sheep are good additions to keep things from getting too boring....lame....sad.

Well thought out and articulated suggestions are now whines huh? Great, glad to be part of the club.
Ya got a category for close minded, unyielding nitwhits?

The post that Rude quoted within his original post of this thread was not well thought-out or articulated, nor was it a suggestion.
It was a clean cut whine.

Crash...
You were doin just great. You articulated your point with reason and deliberance....and then.....I'm afraid....you lost your mind....and WHINED!!!
-
Excellent choice. Its hard not to give bonus points to an all-caps statement followed by multiple exclamation marks.
And Crash, you seriously believe that was a suggestion? It sure looked like someone whining that HTC didn't impliment their suggestions to me.

Rude! Im gona do what I can to make your Whine of the Week!
I believe it is an honor sir!!!

It had nothing to do with HT, although I think that his response could have given us a little more insight into his thinking regarding this issue other than the inaccurate characerization of my idea and a simple "it's bad idea". However, I knew before I even started the thread that based on previous experience HT wouldnt implement anything I suggested unless there was overwhelming and continued outcry for it. He just doesn't work that way, so be it. I was simply dumbfounded at the lack of support from the community, but I guess I shouldnt be, it's a skewed audience. Many of the guys like me who are bored with the MA are long gone leaving mostly the people who are happy with the MA as it is, so as a result many of the people who would support this idea are no longer around to make their opinion known. Out of 15 or so squad members who played this game at one time only 3 are left. Not one has bothered to post, why? It's not that important, it's just a game. Nothing will come of it anyway so why bother. When that happens, who does it hurt?
Also, I don't know the numbers here but I would bet that 90% of the people who fly this game dont necessarily frequent this board which is one of the reasons I think that given a try most AH players would welcome the occasional diversion.

Crash,
You are confusing your selection for this award as some kind of indictment of the validity of your post. I don't think you should. The post was a whine pure and simple. Whether or not it was justified is not the point.
Look at what kind of whine points it has going for it:
- You cited the Taliban as being more open mindended than HTC.
- You used the term "unequivocol NO"
- You used an all caps statement followed by multiple exlamation points
- your post only discouraged the actions you are complaining of being discouraged
Come on man... surely you can apreciate this as the artistic edeavor for which it is being presented.

It was a beautiful whine, Crash. Embrace it and be proud of it...hell, maybe you'll get a plaque and a free dinner at Denny's out of it! :D

Actually the Taliban crack wasn't meant to be directed at HTC but at all of the people posting the "not in my MA and you cant make me"! stuff. I don't mind the award I just think I'm unworthy of it, I've seen far more entertaining whines unleashed this week. I suspect that the judge was another "not in my MA type" thereby cheapening the whole proceeding.

heheh its fun how the award winners always come and make tard of themselves :D
its like some sort of victory speach. instead of doing "I'd like to thank..."
they just bless us with even greater whines
ditto what SOB said
maybe HTC should give perks to the winners.
-
Animal,
I agree with ya buddy. Crash has certainly shown himself worthy of this august award with his follow up whines!!
Congrats Crash!

This idea has potential.

....and Rude maintains his position(s) of the King of Lamer's, Sultan of Uncouth and Ultimate Rude Pink Power Ranger. No other can match the sophomoric attitude and elementary finesse as watcher of the board! :D

What is the purpose of this thread?
-
Purpose ??? To piss off co-players.
-
The purpose of this thread is to showcase nonproductive, misdirected and fruitless whines which contribute nothing to the betterment of this sim or its community.
Oh..................and to amuse Rude.
-
Good choice Rude. The Taliban comparison takes the cake.

I think that the winner for next week is already in this thread. :)
Damnit. I never whine. I need lessons.

It appears the boot was withdrawn. Nath is back. Saw his whine on CH 1 the other night.

An amusing weekly thread that can be funny even if your own whine is picked as the "whine of the week". Of course, if you just need to take it badly and be upset by it, it could mean something different. Or maybe I'm just stupid too? I've been told so before! :D

I admit I have done some of those but I'm not proud about it and at least I try to act more mature.
Anyway its kinda amusing to see a CO of a squad which I used to think was respectable act like that.
If you wanna contribute this community and game why don't you start a weekly topic "Best post of the week" or something similar?
-
Staga....
I'm sorry you have those feelings regarding this thread. The Whine of the Week is not personal and should viewed for what it is...simply a momentary focus of how some find it so difficult to enjoy the best WWII Online Flight Sim offered at the painful cost of $14.95/month.
Trust me, I would gladly pay an additional $14.95/month not to read, here on this board and on the buffer while online, some of the petty tripe which is now and always has been offered up by a tiny minority of folks.
So, I will continue my crusade to expose the ridiculous, reveal the absurd and uncover the just plain childish remarks made on this board until the good Lord takes me away, or when HiTech says stop. :)
Any of you who have taken the time to get to know me, understand that I'm having some fun with this and am hopeful that as a bi-product of this effort, we just might live in a world void of nasty sentiment, filled with peace, love and joy.
:p

Oh cod. I'm gonna hurl!
A kinder, gentler AH comunity?
Coombai___yah I'm bored, coombai____yah.....
lol
:D
You pulling a Castro on us?
-
So in this community if someone has proof backing up there aurgument/statement its whining?
That statement really isnt trying to juistify this "whine of the week" because it does end in a whining manner but everyone is to quick to jump on the "whiner" bandwaggon, as ive seen in other post.
Its just lame that no one can point out a flaw, or exspress there dismay in any way because they get instantly flamed.
I my self dont care to read someone cry about "loosing there 262"(example) bla bla, i have a choice here so i dont read it.
-
c'mon Rude, just say it..
you do it because its funny as hell, and its great to see them go ballistic on the thread.
-
Rude you big bully.
Keep amusing me please.
-
Rude, you should be ashamed. Having fun with such a SERIOUS issue as an online game. Please try to be more respectful.
-
Heyas Popeye!
I will try :)
-
Westy you wanna get in good 'ole flame-war with me ?
btw wellcome back to the this UBB :D :p
-
Staga <S>
<sigh> So many topics we could disagree upon yet so little time in this mortal life to persue them all. ;)
It's always nice to take a break from these boards. Impossible to leave forever though - or so it feels. :)

Hey whatever happened to the pride in a wine well done,a little humility and a good old "I would like to thank all the pilots that made this wine poassable" Its no diffrent than a Roast by Dean Martin except the company is a little less savory. :) I wanna wine award.Where do I sign up Rude? :eek: :eek:
