Cliffs of Dover, a Year Later

[Chivas]

You may be older Falstaff, but I doubt it. If you are you certainly haven't learned much in all your years. Tell you what lets readdress this when you and sim are alittle older, to see if the sim has learned to crawl and you've matured.

I don't want to get in a tussle with anyone here (it's more fun to stand on the sidelines pointing and laughing) but if it's something that this forum has taught me it's that age has nothing to do with being mature. This is not pointed at anyone in particular, now carry on.....

Chivas: no, niet, nada, nein. Once was enough.

But you do prove one hting: most of your posts are the same

(And you need to work harder on the colloquial tone for the put-down. Aim for rmatey-ness. Knowingness is hit-and-miss.)

Go for it, son.

A polite and respectful "golf clap" for Falstaff....

Not much, but I have called you on your awful malicious manner, and that is good enough for me.

Anything else, such as pointing out Chivas' complete and utter works of fiction (i.e. pretending to know what is going on inside the dev house, and general Yoda-ness) is a bonus before the ban takes place.

And then you can prcatise nastiness against others not so adept at responding. But with me, you'll get nowhere.

I see you never got the account deleted like you begged for Ben Scammel.......so who really came here just looking for a fight?

Actually taildragger, I did..check with the mods. I checked-in again on the off-chance that my IP cycle has ticked over, whcih it seems to have done. The only reason was to give back a taste to some posters what they have been dishing-out, which I dont like.

A ban is imminent (I hope) so you can carry on lionising such posters if you wish, and defend their right to attack people unopposed. I'm not pretending to be a white knight of righteousness, more just venting at some of the nastier idiots who seems to have this place in thrall.

Congrats for that "accomplishment"!

Do you expect anyone is ever going to call you out for your awful malicious manner?

Chivas, those in glass houses should not throw bricks. You have the grammar and spelling capability of a 14 year old boy. Common sence really.

And I am being sarcastic. But comments like this are spiteful, no? And serve no purpose to the debate at hand. Addman is right.

Whilst I find you one of the more level-headed posters, Falstaff is correct: you do act as though you have some inside knowledge none of us are aware about. Did you support Tree's posts pre-release? If so I would have to bow down to your current 'knowledge' and assume it's correct; but otherwise history shows that you've got no credible background to substantiate your allegations. I don't think any of us do really: just lucky (fluke-ish on some level; realistic on others) guesses.

CloD isn't a maturing baby. It's a late birth infected with a curable host of illnesses. And you are no doctor; nor are any of us. But at the end of the day, the illnesses are currently unshakeable.

And that may sound harsher than I intend it to be, because I do believe the game will mature into something great: be it through add-ons or community service.

Falstaff entered the thread quoting me and throwing the first brick. He has to expect content in kind.

I've had many agruments with Tree and can't remember them all. He seems to be getting respect from people for stating the obvious. That the sim will be delayed. As far as I'm concerned Tree is the poster child for developers not to include the community in the development process as some people just don't understand the process. Even to the point of calling the developer "liars" when they were just explaining what the development was trying to achieve. The developer continually stated there were "No Promises" The other argument was over UBISOFT no longer being involved and I said that wasn't necessarily so, shown by UBISOFT publishing every combat flight sim built by the developer.

As for your comments about my grammar and spelling. When you get older you'll find that common sense isn't necessarily the domain of the educated. Common sense should have told you that I have no inside information, but have a followed the series closely since the start, and know from the developers past comments, what they are trying to achieve. Which could change at any time. Many people still believe that BOM will be built on a different game engine and COD will no longer be supported.
