Didn't he invent ketchup?

Mine will probably be against the AI as the allies, starting in 1939, with all the default settings and FOW on.
When SC finally get installed on your system, what is your first game going to be?
-
Interesting feature in that "Age of Wonders" game. I "wonder" if it would take "ages" for Hubert to stick that in SC?
-
The idea of a central clearing house for PBEM turns is an interesting one.
Any system can be hacked, so I guess it is up to the old integrity method.

I have a two year old, I am 39 and I still can't believe that little knucklehead is my replacement.
He does like to help me play CM. "Get the flag, daddy! Hey, that tank is on fire, fix it!"
-
Thank you. Great work. This is terrific.
-
All this leg-showing and kilt-lifting is going too far.
We don't need no bones. I am sure Hubert and the Beta boys are working full time on the TCP patch and adding winter effects and such.

One on one, or one vs. the AI.
Too bad, as a three to five player option would be great.
-
I always use them evenly spaced along my lines, just to make things look tidy. Also, I make "vroom" noises when I move them. It seems to help a lot.
-
I don't think so. But I met one, just recently.
-
Wow, Beta Boy, AAR writer, soccer star, Keeper of the CM news and now spelling guru... Is this SuperTed a multifaceted guy or what?
Hey, what does multifaceted mean, anyway?
-
Seems like he liked it.
-
Bring back the draft.
-
The part of the review that hit home with me was the lack of Winter effects. It is really too bad that a theater level game covering Barbarossa has no Winter effects, other than turn length. The lack of "flavor" there is something that will be sorely missed, I'm afraid.
-
Bad chemicals or somefink.
Oh well, one less PBEM opponent to get slaughtered by.
-
Damn! Leave the forum for a few days and all Hell breaks loose!
As to SuperTed and his snotty taunting and childish hints, I think we can safely start loudly demanding the release of SC2: The World at War, as of right now.
What's wrong with you Beta Boys? We want the war in the Pacific! Get cracking! What does a guy have to do around here to get a little customer service, anyway?
-
I won't be buying CMBB.
-
Hubert and the Beta Boys? I think they played at my high school prom...my memory of that period of my life is kind of hazy, though.

I agree that altering someone's game without permission is wrong. But I also know that people do it, and it is unwise to pretend that they don't.
If changes have to be made to SC to protect it from hacking, then that is the way it is and we are going to just have to cool our jets and be patient.
As to the issue of editing posts, it is the decision of the people who own the board, and if you want to post instructions for hacking a game there are other places to do it, without you having to worry about the people whose work you are stealing editing your post.
For the record, I agree that there is a line between modding and hacking that is not always crystal clear. This particular instance is fairly free from ambiguity, the hacking was simple theft.
Once the game is purchased, user mods can and do extend the life of other games. If Hubert thinks that this is verbotten, I will abide by it, but I freely admit that if I came across a mod that allowed you to play the game with more than two players or added say, airborne units I would be very sorely tempted to download it.
Would this hurt SC, if those mods became available? Possibly, if there is a future edition planned that would include them. It also might lead others to buy the game who would not otherwise.
But hacking a demo is just simple theft, that has no other motive behind it than ripping off the designer.
-
Buy a bunch of SC copies and give them to people you think might enjoy the game. It is a great way to introduce people to the hobby.
-
Good news on the updated features. Lousy news on the hacking.
I don't have the technical knowledge to suggest how to secure your property from theft, but I can suggest to the many supporters of SC that the best response available is to promote the game. Tell anyone you think might be interested in a game like SC about SC.
Post to other forums. Get extra copies as gifts. Let others know that you think it is a great game.
I can say that I'm dissapointed and that I support Hubert, BTS and Fury. I can DO a little word of mouth advertising, and that might bring results.

Friday, the last day of this week. No sign of relief. I hope the sergeant of the gaurd doesn't forget I'm out here.
-
Commencing Thursday evening watch. Heavy explosions, nearby and in the distance. A volley of sarcasm from SuperTed lands close by, but my trusty steel pot keeps me safe. Still no sign of SC.
"The rockets red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night,
That SC wasn't there."
Happy Fourth.
