Title: Greatest Pre-Whines in AH History
Post by: funkedup on May 29, 2002, 01:42:53 AM
I thought we might have a little retrospective of great pre-whines of the past.  Vets,  how does the current multi-buff prewhine compare to great pre-whines of the past?
e.g.
Perk System Prewhine

Combat Trim Prewhine

GVs Prewhine

Any I'm forgetting?

IMHO the Combat Trim Prewhine was the greatest ever because guys actually quit before it was introduced.  It was hilarious enough that guys were quitting over future features in the game, but it was made even more hilarious when Combat Trim turned out to have zero effect on combat.  

IMHO the Combat Trim Prewhine was the greatest, followed by the current Multi-BUFF Prewhine and the Perk Prewhine.  I don't remember much of the GV Prewhine but I was involved mostly in the Postwhine.

ditto :)

The positive side is that the combat trim discution learned me a lot about how a plane fly :)

The perk pre-whine has kind of been over-shadowed by the perk post-whine.

But the current buff 'controversy' proves that there are still plenty of tards ready to take AH just a little too seriously.

Still, it's all good.

The 'padlock' discussions were a deusy too.

 I don't think the mercury on the pending buff feature has risen to the extent  trhat perks or combat trim had. Yet :)   Most of the heat in the recent "buff/fluff" topics has had more to do with the basic fighter pilot vs bomber drivers differences which is as old as online aircombat itself.

 Westy

The Ballistics pre-whines are the most potent as they have weathered the test of time by still raring their ignorance to this date.

I wouldn't be suprised to hear ballistic whining up to the point they plant me in the dirt.:)

I feel the Combat Trim pre-whine was the best, in particular the "Open letter to Hitech Creations" where a certain person explained why Combat Trim would be so negative to AH.

What made it even better was when the very same pilot posted a pic after combat trim was introduced and COMBAT TRIM was on even though he swore he would NEVER use it:)

Oh, the memories......

I just did a search for Combat trim and I gotta say, it is by far the best of them all.

With the whines about the upcoming BUFF stuff, it is nice to know that Chicken Little is still around here.

Ohhhhh how we soon forget the dreaded, deadly, side splitting, brother against brother argument of the…

C-hog.

This is my vote in the year and 6 months I’ve been flying AH.

**edit** I think it classifies as a pre-whine in that it consisted of whines pre-perk.

With 1806 threads with the word whine in it, I am not going to be the one to do the research.
