Marko Posted August 28, 1999 Share Posted August 28, 1999 Dear BTS, In recent days my condition has worsened. I am no more the productive worker that I once was. I no longer have a life. And now I have a split-personality. Currently, I am my old self. But my new self -- the disturbing one -- well, he steals 2 hours from me every day poring through this bulletin board or those evil after action reports. It is with a mind-numbing fear that I await the actual release of your game. For I know that this is when he will strike and try to turn what is now two hours into an endless 24. I will cease then to exist. My job, my family, my life -- all sacrificed to his awful passions and desires! So I beseech you, BTS: please do not release this game. Please -- arrgh! He is near -- I hear him! Heed my warning ... arrrgghhh!!! ... Ahem. Please ignore the nonsense which I penned above. I've been suffering from a nervous condition lately which causes me to experience brief moments of irrationality. So, BTS, I urge you to continue with Combat Mission. I look forward to it very much and wish you the best of luck with it. Now please excuse me while I attend to some urgent matters. Marko P.S. With apologies to H.P.

Guest Big Time Software Posted August 28, 1999 Share Posted August 28, 1999 I like Marko 'cause he is funny Yeah, this BBS has been a real time sink lately. I just wish those guys would hurry up and off each other so we can get back to a normal pace around here. About 1 months' worth of posts have gone up in just 5 days...

Rick Posted August 28, 1999 Share Posted August 28, 1999 Yes this bbs is a time sink. I just got the best news in my life (I've been published for the first time) and yet here I sit reading the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted August 28, 1999 Share Posted August 28, 1999 LOL Marko... Funny post Rick: Congragulations on being published. The first one's always the hardest I'm assured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted August 29, 1999 Share Posted August 29, 1999 It's a magazine article in Nature Photographer entitled Back to School. I wrote about using a University's Biological Reserve for photography. If you are not familiar with the reserves; they are a piece of land maintained for biological research and education purposes, the public can get in if they pay a small fee (the one I went to was $5/year), and fill out a form promising that what you plan to do in there is compatible with the purpose of the reserve. The reserve I used was the University of North Carolina's Mason Farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatherof4 Posted August 29, 1999 Share Posted August 29, 1999 Kudos Rick. Hey BTS, I had some marketing questions for you: 1) Can you tell us how many pre-orders you have had so far or is that confidential? 2) How much have the hits to your site increased since Fionn & Martin's battle reports started being published? I know I'm checking the board 5 or 6 times a day versus once a day before. 3) The response to these reports have been tremendous, IMHO. I'm sure the "bean counter" side of BTS has to be pleased. Did you expect all this excitement? Tell the bosses that I think whoever thought of this deserves a raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
