Complete AH days went from 0530 to 1830, so were 13 hours long. Therefore two complete 'days' took 26 hours, meaning 'night' would occur 2 hours later each day..... never at the same time.

In fact now, if anything, dusk/dawn will be at the same time each day, as the AH 'days' have been reduced to 12 hours - 0600-1800...... except for resets of course.

You people that love night so much must log off as soon as daylight appears.

Overlag - Steve is one of those selfish a-holes who is only happy if he has everything his own way all the time. I pity guys like that. They're so afraid of the dark.

Oh I don't think you care about the other foot. You've jerked this around for long enough. But as far as jerking things goes, I think you favour neither the left leg nor the right - but something in between.

Dedalos said "The broblem was that that was the one hour I had to play." And as Flossy has explained, the dark time never fell on the same time each day. If I'm reading it right it would take 12 days for AH night to fall at the same earth time. So if night fell at 8pm your time, the next time it would fall at 8pm would be 12 days later. So I don't buy the "only hour I have to play" argument...

Look, I don't login at the same time every time. But I had times that I got night time 3 times in a row. It sucked. I don;t mine it if it was real. No icons, 10K dots, and no messing with screen settings. All night gives as now is something to argue about. It does not provide cover for bombers, gvs, or anything else. It just mekes it harder to aim if you don't adjust your settings.

Back from holiday and pissy already ("Steve is one of those selfish a-holes ...") ... what gives ?

Oh ... welcome back !!!

I am surprised that you forgot to include the "reset" variable into the day/night algorithm that Flossy allued to.

Well, now that I think about ... I'm not surprised ...

I'll tell you what gives, Beet1e was quite smug in another thread that night remained in spite of the complaints of so many people, specifically me.

When night was removed, Beet1e was no longer victorious and must now suffer as I celebrate the victory of the night killers.
In defeat, Beet1e is anything but gracious... hell he will somehow try to spin the whole thing to make it look like it is what he wished for all along, so incapable is he of conceding a point.

edit: Here is Beet in all his smugness. O how it came crashing down. Beet, a little grey poupon w/ that crow?

Beet's smugness: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When night didn't immediately change Beet said in all his smugness:
"Well Steve... looks like you got your answer."

Yup Beet, I sure did.

beet1e · « **Reply #188 on:** March 22, 2004, 01:50:47 PM »

...And as I have said all along, it makes no difference to me personally whether night stays or goes. Your "victory" is not quite a pyrrhic victory, but not much better if the only person you can crow to is me.

Hi Slapshot!

I think beet1e should take HT's decision personally as a statement to the fact that beet1e has been disagreed with.

No way, if ya want night just adjust yer gamma.

Yeah, but that does not force me to fly in the dark. Can you find a way to force that?

Aww Bullchit. Where have you said this all along?

You were advocating to have night remain. If you weren't, you wouldn't have said in my response to my request to have night removed:

[If HTC agrees with you, night will be withdrawn. If they agree with me, things will remain unchanged.

Edit: And I'm crowing to you because it was you in all your arrogance that carried the torch for night remaining....don't bother to deny it or I'll embarrass you further with more incriminating quotes by you. You strutted like a peacock when night didn't disappear overnight after you said:

Since you chose to be the champion of night, you lose.
You're like any other poor sport when they lose, "Oh, I didn't really care if I won." You're pathetic poor sport version is:

Really? Like I said, where all along have you been saying this?

Nope. The reasons for me to support night were because I knew that other players wanted it. I was considering the interests of others. Don't worry if you don't understand it Steve. I can tell the concept is quite alien to you.

I fly F6F/F4U etc - how would night benefit me?
