Title: Snowmen!
Post by: molybdenum on February 12, 2024, 07:04:58 PM
I honestly don't care what my troops look like when they are inbound a maproom.
But snowmen in February?
New players will either be confused or off-put. Simple fix. Right?

This advertisement that the game managers are disconnected to "reality" and are letting things go on their own can't help build or retain numbers.

LOL. Seems that HT was a week late on resetting the camp and you expect the snowmen to be gone too?!

From my experience with HT he's more interested in playing poker then people paying their subscriptions or people getting muted without a reason which I'm sure you know is why I pulled the plug. (I've mentioned it enough that most people who don't care don't want to hear it again but I mention it just in case you missed it)

I think you might be setting your expectations a bit high if you expect them to be gone before July!

Yepp, you can't build snowmen in February. Plenty of snow here, up to the crack but it's feathery. You can't roll big snowballs when it's -25C or -13F. So definitely no snowmen until late March!

Would it help if snowmen were dressed in camo?

One simple word... attention.  Just like a few other frequent flyers that don't play anymore.

It seems that whenever I get an email that I have a PM I come back to check and then get interested in all the drama going on again. Lolz

It is fun to come out from under the bridge from time to time and stir the pot.

I'm sure I'll lose interest at some point and go away. I have found that I'm spending more and more time on the IL2 boards and less and less time here. Then you guys can continue to bicker among yourselves. lol

Sometimes I think the drama on the boards is more entertaining then the game. Seems some of you must feel the same or maybe are just a bit too thin skinned.

Maybe a new thing for each month. They can be Easter bunnies in April.

It's a reminder that it's the day before Hallmark Valentines day and you still haven't gotten your wife anything and reservations at decent restaurants are gone and getting a table at Applebees will be rough.

Oh crap! I gotta go!

Ha had 2 dozen long stem red roses delivered to my wife. Also bought her a nice bracelet she was admiring awhile back. Her Dad's 82 birthday is the 14th so I grilled steaks. We had dinner with her parents, her sister and her husband.

That's doing it right without being crazy or falling for the marketing.

I promised a fine evening out on this Friday and I did the obligatory damn card. So I did not escape the Hallmark marketing war machine like I wanted to.

My wife has been wanting that $1,400 Samsung S24 Ultra and her birthday was Feb 12.

I bought it for her.

No flowers, no dinner, no chocolate, no card. No money left...

But not having to pick out a card or chocolates-especially that day on the way home from work?

Priceless.....

It would be if we had the money to afford it... I told her we could buy 10 of the phones I have for that price and we could buy them in different colors every couple months but she wouldn't go for it.

Maybe I'm old school but I would never pay that price for a phone. It's a phone...

Oh, I'm with you there. I didn't know what a Samsung S24 Ultra was. i figured a whirlpool or some kinda sauna thing. My Iphone is as old as dirt and it's housed in a case fabricated from Gorilla tape. I hate cell phones and blame them for the downfall of Western Civilization and poor driving.....mostly poor driving.

I completely agree. I now have the most expensive phone I ever bought. I think paid something around $120. I guess the difference is that I don't spend 8 hours a day on it. I guess that's what makes that's what would make somebody want to buy a phone of that cost? I guess I made a mistake marrying a millennial but all the older woman had more baggage then I could handle.

Well in business, I use my phone for a lot of different things. They are just small computers. I have the Samsung 23 Ultra. The 24 really has no improvements, just a few changes. The camera is said to be better on the 23. I use the stylus taking notes quite a bit.
