    The Cheery Waffle Thread is Giving Away FREE Angryolized TNT and Molten Faces!

    Snarker, what's the big idea of using a <font size=1>penguin</font> trap in this thread? The Lady Moraine has again showed her superiority to most other <font size=1>penguins</font> by sidestepping it. I'm guessing Mace is still in there looking for his free TNT. :D

    Are you guys recruiting?

    It's really not in character for a waffler to give away anything unless it's hot, splodey and angro....oh, wait ...never mind...

    EDITED to add :mad: camouflage so I blend in.

    :mad:

    We've never had to recruit. There's an unending supply of hardy people standing ready to protect the BFC forums from MasterGoodale (the maggot) if he shows his snout again. Unlike a certain "other thread" on the forum, this one has always been open to all comers, and especially to inexperienced PBEM opponents. For as it is written in the Book of Goodale (the maggot), Chapter 8, verse 22 "GRARRGHRAARGHRARRGH!!! Do ye not know that ye are all Cheery Waffles?" You can look it up. :D:D </font>

    What's all this nonsense about knees like a thirty year old.

    I'm thirty and my knees aren't all that great :D .

    Off course I'm just having fun. These knees are da bomb .

    I'll sell them if you offer enough , great knees but poor economy isn't that great tongue.gif .

    Emrys, interested ?

    Watch it Finnish-boy or I'll gather all five swedish posters on this forum and kick every yberfinnish ass out there !

    Well....we'll try ;) .

    PBEM in CMx2

    1. The AI in CMx1 sucked. I'm sorry BF but it's true. The AI was alright for a few quick battles if you put it as defender and gave it a big experience boost. But otherwise the AI wasn't at the same level as the rest of the game. Sure this is true of most games but i'm just telling the reasons.

    2. PBEM was the only personal contact that most of the members of this board had in their otherwise drab meaningless little lives :D PBEM is social that's what makes it so good, those sarcastic comments attached with turns, the misdirection capable, ie oh no you shot my King Tiger (hehe only a Mark IV)

    Cheers

    1. The AI wasn't bad in any way. It's a very time consuming advanced process coding an AI for a game like CM.

    Steve has replied to this many many times .

    PBEM in CMx2

    I'm not sure you give the casual player enough credit. I would have to place myself as a casual player. I have played maybe two, half games of PBEM and two games of TCP/IP but I have played hundreds of games against the AI and I really enjoy a quick battle. I visit off and on this forum to see what is happening and I might go a few months between games and then play several dozen over a few weeks.

    But what has made this game worth playing is the quality put into it. I am by no means a grog and this is the only hard core military game I play but I do appreciate the quality of this game and the opportunity to be the commander of my forces in my eternal quest to win and succeed.

    -Demster

    This is me in a nut shell.

    And like Steve said mostly hard-core gamers and grogs frequent forums like this , most normal people (unlike myself) do other stuff besides posting in forums.

    I have drawn the conclusion that I'm a hard-core gamer/computer addict , not that it's a good thing mind you smile.gif .

    If you're playing well at the strategic level then your opponent has to endure a CM battle (or even a whole string of them) of getting massacred - or vice versa. Would that be fun for either player?

    The 2 don't compliment each other as much as you might think.

    Kip, an uber campaign wouldn't be very practical from the multiplayer aspect. I would use it for single player as would most people. I could be wrong though , there may be a few brave souls out there with enough time to kill to try it in multiplayer :D .

    What's the differens tongue.gif .

    Anyway , what I'm looking for is putting my battles in a context (and no I don't mean a story driven campaign...).

    If it's battallion sized, then so be it smile.gif .
