Here's your answer
Does this mean we'll be going to the old "You Ho'ed me" and "You're a LA7 dweeb" whine threads? :bhead
I guess walt white got his one call to saul!
We are being warned about not being warned about iminent beatings. :confused: ;)
Its not just this BBS or this game. Its all MMO type games across the entire internet. Any time more than one person is involved in any sort of a discussion it almost always turns into arguments with flagrant insults and worse.its not just games its the entire internet,
Some people just get such a kick out being ********.
Good luck.
its not just games its the entire internet,
that's because people sitting behind their keyboard think they are untouchable, which allows their true wannabe self to come out.

i volunteer to be given a proper good thrashing :old:
For what i don't know :)
Yo HT, as the "leader" of this game and community, most of the blame lies on yourself for allowing such behaviour to manifest itself. You can have others moderate the arena or forums in your place, but *you* made this game, and thus people will generally respect your self over anyone else.
I have pointed out this general degredation of behaviour before to you, but I was banned for doing so, and you might claim it was the manner in which I did it, but given a choice over pointing out the obvious here, or via PM. It seemed best not to possibly diminish the standing of your techniques in public, but you leave those of us who wish for the better little choice other to let it rot or say it in the open, thus.
Let me point out how this came about, I know you got your own ideas; but these might be worthy observations:
- By allowing Control freaks and agenda pushers to control the main chat channel, by being able to report stuff *they* think is bad, you have allowed those who take life and this game too seriously to assert their collective control over the mainstream air of communication. Thus driving out those who genuinely have fun cussing at eachother and the general competetiveness, respect and banter that comes with it. Such banter and lack-of-seriousness is what makes a game genuinely lighthearted and *fun* and attracts the sort of people the game needs. Im talking about the people who really make a game, the core, the heart, that the rest of the archetypes around here *originate* from, not these branding control-freak sorts are those who have been playing too long or too hard for their own good and lack the perspective to see any other needs then their own. They have their place in the community too, but the balance has shifted in their favour because of this.
- By losing focus of your vision and giving in to whims of *new* planes via voting, even if its a symbolic gesture of sorts; you are overstreching your resources and ability to keep things consistant. By adding new planes you secure the fact that in the future they will need a model upgrade or some other upgrade, and by adding multitudes of types of a plane you require even greater work to make sure they are accurate, thus leaving the planeset with some that look like they are from 2003, and others from 20010. This makes people lose a sense that the game is evolving and thus starts a downward spiral of measured-up expectations vs actual game direction.
I could go on, but I think you get the gist.
Peace out.

Is it still a personal attack when someone bashes a whole squad over an unrelated issue to the one at hand?
Personal attack is personal attack, bashing a squad over playing style is totally different.
Bashing a squad is a personal attack.
bashing a playing style is not.
I.E. Squad X Your style sucks.

Midway has gone on record stating that he does not ho (NOMOHO) since Jan 7th (<-- alarmingly that is actually my birthday :noid)
I don't recall anyone posting any films of him doing it since then and him having to forfeit by changing his name to their choosing. So how about we give him a break and see if he can make good his honourable intentions.
if you were standing in front of me, you would realize I am who I am....unlike most I don't need to pretend who I am.
I have personally met 2 people from AH, that I did not know before hand, one of whom I tattooed his wife, the other came to my tattoo shop in Hudson, NH....there is also someone ingame and on these boards that I have known for 30 plus years....
get a clue :aok
Speaking of which, my stencil wore off :cry

again, what constitutes a "personal attack" can be subjective. Some things are obvious but other things, like honest, harsh criticism, are harder to definitely label.

This is not a personal attack, it is not speaking of any thing about the person who posted it, only commenting on WHAT the person posted. I.E. the idea.
How is that not a personal attack? If I said that I think your thought on not classifying that as a personal attack is idiotic, would that be fair game?
I'm not saying that though. :angel:

I think authority is somewhat lenient when the Squeaker/Newb's behaviors bring it upon themselve....i.e. The Late D.W., N.8., and a few others...you reap what you sow. Having said that, anyone can step over the line of common humane decency if you try hard enough. :huh
This is an important issue that a lot of people have trouble with. People confuse what they do with what they are. This is especially important when raising children so I'll use that as an example. When a child does something wrong some parents will tell the child that they are bad. The child learns to identify themselves as bad which obviously causes problems later on. Other parents will tell the child that what they did was bad and that good children don't do that. This let's the child identify themselves as good, and reinforces the idea that good children behave a certain way and don't do bad things.
Now if you think that's idiotic you may express that opinion, but if you want people to agree then you may have to explain why you have that opinion.
I think I made my point, yes huh.

Don't you think Skuzzy has the mind to determine what clearly constitutes a personal attack? I got bounced once and I deserved it. :bolt:
Exactly BowHtr. I don't understand what all the debate is about. I thought HiTech made it clear in his post one page one. Now here we are on page 11 trying to find loopholes to get around it. :rolleyes:
Some of the questions are good questions. I asked about the squad issue because I never get attacked personally on the forum, but a few people will verbally attack my squad when they don't like what I have to say about something.
On second thought, I'm not touching this thread. Not even with the remains of the last Spitfire I just shot down.I came in here to get a drink of water . :angel: :bolt:
This points out an interesting problem these days. To argue a persons idea, or call it foolish, stupid et,c isn't an attack on the person, just the idea. People need to learn the difference.
if I HiTech is stupid, that's a personal attack.
If I say HiTechs decision the hire Scuzzy is stupid, then that's attacking the idea, not the man. Well, I guess it does kinda attack Scuzzy.
I would say that is an attack, if i understand correctly from the following quote.
This is an important issue that a lot of people have trouble with. People confuse what they do with what they are. This is especially important when raising children so I'll use that as an example.

Sadly human nature is to not self regulate personal conduct in anonymous circumstances unless there are demonstrations of Draconian instantanious personal consiquences. The poor conduct is a self rewarding behavior.Who needs Ambien?
Mobs don't have to be a group of people at a physical location running amok feeding off each others bad behavior. They exist in Internet Blogs all over the planet because most blogs don't require your real name and home address to take part in the anonymous community. Blog Mobs self empower through habituation of self reward by using any pretext to run with an issue once a topic or community member has been targeted. Eventualy forcing the Blog moderators to act harshly engendering a passive aggressive victom reponse from the mob. Being a victom is another form of self rewarding behavior to stave off responsibilty for ones conduct.
A mob either burns itself out until the next opportunity to self reward, or a more powerful entity executes a few examples in view of the group reinstilling their appreciation for individual self preservation. If it's a periodicly repeated scenario by the more powerful entity, only self preservation is triggered, not any self enlightened moral lessons learned. There is a very real chance the same perpetrators with new followers will repeat the same conduct in the future after things have cooled down due to past experience with the powerful entity's responses.
Bad behavior is emotionaly cathartic because the self reward mechanism is addictive once indulged and gotten away with. It's akin to the thrill of engaging in a personal act with your mate while in a public place and not getting caught. If you do eventualy get caught it's cathartic to blame the policeman for catching you and not yourself for the bad conduct.
After all you were simply enjoying yourself and the cop butted in and passed judgement on your conduct.
Has nothing to do with impartiality. It just seems harsh to suspend an account for a first offense unless it was way overboard.
Who needs Ambien?

I take it you were napping the few months/years after AHII came out and the town guns got swapped to puffy ack along with the Vbase hangars being all cuddled up. All of which culminated in a statement by HT at the 2003 convention that "you have to describe this to [him] because [he] doesn't play and doesn't know what you're talking about." :D
But, really, I wouldn't play a game I developed either. I'd probably be sick of looking at it, especially after releasing an expansion. :p

OK. I called up to HTC and got the inside skinny from one of the secretary's. Apparently a certain CEO/CFO/BOSS type person affiliated with the company,mind you I'm not naming any names here, has apparently been the victim of some boys school toiletry humor.
It seems two of the members of the company ( names rhyme with Gyro and fuzzy) interrupted this certain persons toilet session. According to my source they masked up to conceal their identity and kicked in the stall door, grabbed the victim, held him upside down and proceeded to give him a "Swirly". They then ran from the facility yelling " Jokers Jokers and Vguys rule". This was apparently an effort to conceal their true identities and place the blame on innocent parties.
My source advised that this post was apparently made in error and was supposed to be an internal email for office staff. I think this type of pranking goes on quite a bit in this office from what my source told me.

And you guys been this way since 2001??.......Wow and I live in california and couldn't tell....Wow..... :eek:
Next thing you know they will all put on Hello Kitty T-shirts and meow at each other on range.
It is NOT going to be fun for anyone if dad pulls the plane over to the side of a cloud and makes us get out and walk! Especially for mom (Skuzzy), what is he going to do with all that free-time, play World of Tanks?LOL !
Bustr,
I never told you this but I have to come clean with you now....I hate cats. I hate stray cats, expensive cats, cats of any color, cute cats, kittens, rare cats, any cat, I hate. I feel better now. Thank you.

Ailurophobia is a type of specific phobia: the persistent, irrational fear of cats. Fear leads to hatred and aggression whether in speech or conduct. BBS text is speech gents.
How many of you as boys and teens tortured and shot stray cats?
I knew guys who regulary burned stray cats, put them in bags and threw them in water. Or tried out their new BB, Pellet or 22cal gun on stray cats. Dogs kill people all over the world for many reasons. Unless you are talking Big Cats, the incidence of death related to domestic or even feral cats is very miniscule.
I've never been mauled by a domestic cat. I was attacked and nearly killed by a cattle dog when I was a child on my extended familes ranch in S.D. I love dogs as much as cats. The wife and I are planning to get either a Doodle or giant royal Poodles. The males average 100-125libs.

Or a Newfypoo: Half Newfoundland and Poodle mix. Up to a 150lb dog.
So whats your major malfunction gents?? Trying to get a BBS personal attack in by creating an instantaious coallition of Ailurophobiac's to cover your veiled personal attack?? It's OK to be intollerant and aggressive if you have a peer group to cover you ain't it gents??
Tollerance for me not Thee........................

Hitech could make it easy for himself by creating a new rule to take care of a whole world of your hurt causing his headach.
15- Slipping on the Bleeding Edge of the fire.
With that he would have the room to swing a bull by the tail in a china shop and not have to explain himself after the first warning. Most parents operate by this rule under other names. We should realy aplogise to Hitech and Skuzzy for forcing them to take the place of our parents while being guests on their forum. Some of us are parents or close to that state ourselves.
As if the current rules aren't as general as can possibly be. Take for example Rule #4..
4- Flamebaiting, flaming, being abusing, being disrepectful, trolling, spamming or posting to incite or annoy is not allowed. If you cannot make a positive contribution to the thread, then just stay out of it.
"Flamebaiting", "being disrespectful", "spamming", "posting to incite or annoy"? Those are catch-all rules. Any post that is slightly annoying in any way is a rule violation if someone reports it. If the forum rules were followed to a tee, 90% of the posts would be See Rule #2's or Rule #4's.
If the forum rules were followed to a tee, 90% of the posts would be See Rule #2's or Rule #4's.As it should be. I'm sick of the tomfoolery and shenanigans. I don't come here to have fun.

It's really just a potential violation if someone reports it. Whoever is moderating that post has to agree that it's a violation and also that the poster deserves to be sanctioned. The difficulty in writing precise rules that fit every occasion is why we give discretion to the people who have the burden of enforcement.
A high percentage of the posts on here could be interpreted as rule violations, which was my point. The rules are extremely vague.
They are watching..... the walls have eyes....
Have a great day HiTech, Skuzzy, and crew. :D
HT doesn't read the boards. He has them read to him and then dictates his replies to a secretary with poor spelling.

The beatings will continue until morale improves :aok
"The beatings will continue until moral improves!"
Isnt that jumping the gun a bit?? Hitech has never said: "If I want your opinion I will beat it out of you!"
Once the moral drops through the floor becasue the Despot begins beating his followers and slaves for opinions. Then he has to utter "The beatings will continue until moral improves!" At this point all productivity has crashed to a halt and he's loosing valuble forced labor income due to irrational fear, apathey and depression. Contusions, broken bones, concussions...the usual kinds of incentives.
If you haven't broken their moral first they will simply ignore you if you utter the beatings will continue part. You have to give them something to look forward to. If you beat them all the time you might as well not attempt to get any work out of them. Comon didn't you get the memo to take the Marketing 101 for Despots seminar? There is a whole day at the seminar on how to brutalize followers and slaves to achive greater prophits in the short term crunch.
I don't know anymore....Despotism is a lost art.

How Bustr manages to turn every single one of his posts into triple layer metaphors I will never know.

:huh :huh :huh What is a Trogamaboob? :huh :huh :huhGeez. Are serious? Where did you go to school anyway?
Aww now Grizz. Billy Buckley could always get 5 or 6 with his eyes closed. I'm just a waanabe compaired to that commentator from Yale.
One liners like "The beatings will continue until moral improves." are so shallow, over used and boring commercialisations from demotivational sites. Sprucing it up with the imagery of being part of a Despot's Marketing seminar. Well it at least showed alot of thin skin in the game. Funny how with things like this you get laughs in sitcoms when the audience see's it as a joke on a cast member they have been setup to dislike. Yep contextualy very thin skin in the game for metaphor layered satire.
No one ever accused this forum of being Yale......
Quadruple layer metaphor post. :O
Amazing isn't it.... :O
Yes but even Bustr didn't have any idea what he was saying after the second metaphor...he just ended up where he ended up....Yale was it?
Yes, but you have to admire his unique brand of droll deductive reasoning. :aok
The boards are like an inner city wall artistically devoted to thoughtful graffiti.
Hey, now. That's a simile, not a metaphor.

You guys could at least stop showing yourselves as pure products of the internet age. Too many simile's to make even camp bathroom graffiti with more bark than the pot's smell. But, even our children know how to go piu, piu, piu. And the out come of those three simplistic words are most fought over by grown men on these boards than anything resembling the fathers of those children and their expectations of how their child would grow up.
Here's a hearty piu, piu, piu to you to, and a salute to fatherhood.
Quadruple layer metaphor post. :O
One mans droll is another man's hyper-verbosity. Bustr's obsession with MBA vernacular is directly proportional to his perception of mundane, monosyllabic BBS responses on threads that are directly or indirectly attributable to HiTech.
In other words, HiTech should never place a welcome mat near his six o'clock.
Too bad the same standard used in the BBS isn't applied in-game. As long as you skirt the profanity filter, 200 is open for business as usual. :headscratch:

Heard someone say they got a "political warning" for talking about the current debt the U.S. has incurred.
So, someone is paying attention.
I mean, they clearly need to take a short class on basic economics and perhaps a similar class on politics (just the very basics, mind you) so they can tell the difference... but it is comforting to know that someone is keeping a watchful eye and cracking down on the drunken subversives on country channel!
I've noticed less political stuff in game so maybe they are working on it. It was really bad just a few weeks ago.
I do not use google anymore.
What about google earth?

Hi Tech Please retire this thread. I'm tired of looking at it......if you don't I may resort to personally insulting you

Who is this Rule #2 person, and where do I see him?
Hitech was using reverse psychology on all of us when he first posted this topic. Now we are all getting along.
He's a smart cat he is. :)
I disagree..... I never saw his backup lights or heard his beeper.
Were you looking at or listen to his backside for them?
There has been an increase in this crap lately. It is only irritating on text, but the increase in Vox profanity is more than irritating and I have started giving one warning and then I use the squelch. I hate to do that but it's the only thing I can do to make my point

HTC: The FORUM RULES are posted in public for all to see regarding Personal attacks of all kinds, on the forum, with a sticky, with no gray area and no ambiguity.
You know, it may be the perfect answer if HTC POSTED their OFFICIAL RULES, REGS, and POSITIONS for IN-GAME BEHAVIOR for every subscriber who plays in-game to see, learn, and follow. It would also allow players to know what exactly does NOT constitute their position. No gray area. No ambiguity. Please post the OFFICIAL HTC stance on the following:
"What Constitutes A Personal Attack?"
"What is The Difference Between A Personal Attack and Stating The TRUTH, Having Screenshots & Film To Back Up The Truth?"
"How Does A Player Properly Report A Personal Attack?" (I E Requirements of screen shots or film)
"What Are The Repercussions (mute length in days, etc) of In-Game Personal Attack?"
"Are there Varying Degrees of Personal Attack as well as The Punishment Length's for Each?"
"What is the Difference between a Perceived Personal Attack and a Simple Exchange of Differing Ideals?"
"What Are HTC's recommendations for Avoiding Personal Attacks to Begin With?"
I want to see HTC's answer and policies to these personal attack issues, not forum members.
Since we are ALL (subscribers) expected to abide by HTC's rules in-game, it's only fair if they inform us as to exactly what those rules and expectations are. This would solve the vast majortity of in-game problems with this issue.
I bought the poster of that book a few years back...still holds true :aok

In the bad ole pre internet days, I was a fidonet sysop ... 1 million + members world wide ... We had two rules ...
1) - DO NOT BE OFFENSIVE ...
2) - DO NOT BE EASILY OFFENDED ...
You can't play by those rules ... you're OUT. Amazing how well that worked.
:cool:

If I say "I am such an idiot" is that a personal attack against myself equating to BBs suicide or just self realization?
Idiotic minds want to know.

Man I am old! I was the gateway to Indianapolis for FidoNet mail with a 6 line hub. Oh those were the days! The phone bills sucked though! :eek:

I remember the phone system in San Antonio having rampant voice bleed over for domestic lines.
My sister and I used to pick up the phone just to listen to the bleed over when the parents weren't looking. It was when we walked into the living room one day and wanted to know why some guy wanted to lick a woman's cat that we got in trouble. We were in 2nd and 3rd grade and we had a cat. Who licks their cat? The two of us had cat box duty. We knew where cats go part of their day. Yeeech, blech, phooohy!! And we knew about hair balls first hand.........
I'm sure any of you with kids remember those days around 7-9 years old and how litteral littel minds are. Our mother almost fainted when we finished asking the question about cat licking. And our father for just an instant smiled with the humor before he lit our tiny kesters up.
