Big Boss Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Yes Oddboll E8, Im from Malmö Sweden! Nice to meet a landskamrat. It looks like countries with no recent war history are drawn to fictional combat en masse (Maybe something for the psychologists to analyse). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George MC Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Maybe the People's Free State of Scotland could claim a wee bit of this thread as it's own meeting place? Given you Scandie types came over here years back on yer summer cruise trips we mostly likely have something in common. Like DNA?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I was nearly made an "honorary scotsman" by some scots at the Roskilde Festival once... until they found out I didn't like whiskey :/ But other than that I got it all, even the accent when speaking english (when I want to) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Well, judging from my own experiences on trips to your bonnie land, I think we have a lot in common, George. Not only mentality, but also language. There are a lot of words in scottish english that are of scandinavian origin. Bairn is the only one I can think of right now, though. And perhaps dram - even though here it means "snaps". I prefer the scottish version, preferably from Islay.

Macisle Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 To add another "squatter" post... The missus and I have been watching a light drama adaptation of the story of Masataka and Rita Taketsuru, the Japanese man and his Scottish wife, who brought whisky to Japan, founding Nikka Whisky. Interesting story. The ban on Scotch imports during WWII helped put the company in the black, though Rita had a tough time for obvious reasons. Anyhoo, a link for whoever is interested: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/astonishing-life-of-scots-woman-who-877833 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(you dont know what youre missing, Oddball) Hi Oddball and Umlaut Originally whisky was a clear spirit - it wasn't till they started storing the stuff in old brandy casks etc that it took on the character we now associate with whisky. Re Scots words with Scandinavian origins. I've spent a fair bit of time ice climbing out in Norway and I was struck by how many words were used that sounded like Scots word e.g. in Scotland we use hoose, flitting, bairn, kirk, greetin' (as in crying), wid (means wood or would), fu' (means full i.e. as in full up or drunk - he's fu!), stane (stone). Anyway there is a lot! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Originally whisky was a clear spirit... AKA White Lighting, the archetypal backwoods brew. No doubt a lot of the chaps who were brewing it up in the hills of Tennessee and West Virginia were of Scottish descent. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Fun trivia: In the first years of the United States as a nation, With federal government in its infancy and paper currency not yet widely available or standardized, whiskey was one of the few items whose value in trade was universally recognized and as such it was widely used in trade as payment for goods. In other words, whiskey was arguably the first national currency of the United States. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fry30 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Well I guess this thread has been derailed due to anyone who has a horse in this race attempting to change the subject. Maybe this sort of thing makes you uncomfortable. The fact of the matter is that regardless of any NDA, Steve said himself that this fix is going to take a lot of time and effort. He also used the same phrasing when he explained the $20.00 price for the new vehicle pack. So once again, I am merely questioning their priorities. Yes I know this is coming off as snarky as f___, but I still think a lot of people are thinking the same thing and are either a. not signed onto the forums or b. part of the silent majority lurker type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togi Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Completely agreed TrollIing this topic - while I was trying to warn kindly the starters of this abuse - is normal behaviour for the people that are thinking about other side as whiners and child who are expressing their feelings and thoughts about the lateness of the patches no more comment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Malan2 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Please indicate examples of Trolling to the moderators - it is in no one's interest for trolling to go unremarked. Although I could suggest an alternative view: the original point about how long and eagerly nay, frustratedly, the patch has been awaited has been made. Various conspiracy theories raised. BF answer, with the reason for the wait (the bug that everyone wants nailed is a slippery little sucker and is fighting back). Without re-reading the entire thread, it is possible that BF's explanation is added to the conspiracy theory (although I am very willing to be corrected if I dreamed that). Then, posters found a vacuum and (as is the way) started addressing the little asides as there was nothing further to say on the original topic (having been asked and answered). I think it is important to differentiate between trolling argument/debate and casual chat don't you? By all means make a further point on the original question if you want to. With new (relevant) input I find threads stay on topic quite well, don't you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger33 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 So, I'm just popping in here for the first time in awhile. Still no patch? I haven't played since the first week CMRT came out due to the infantry-not-entering-buildings bug. I love Combat Mission, but I don't see myself buying anything else in this series. The months and months (and months) between patches, which will only get worse with the release of future titles, is wearing out my patience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Till the patch released this topic should not be seen as closed. So chatting in this post for unrelated topics are a behavior of childish Where did I say any such thing? You suggested that people were trolling to attack the thread starter and supporting posts. I merely suggested an alternative view. The only instruction or direct suggestion I made was "By all means make a further point on the original question if you want to". Maybe you see this as arrogant of me, in which case I am sorry. However it was intended as a suggestion that you could get the discussion back on topic if you had anything new to say. Do you see how there are usually 2 sides to any discussion? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"there was nothing further to say on the original topic" So as I understand above sentence that you're allowing that everyone can come and make chat on another cases in this topic for on that nothing to say at least now, no I can aggree with that, they can't mate, it's not a good behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not an instruction, nor even a suggestion; it is the continuation of an alternative theory I was describing about what could have happened to your thread ("Although I could suggest an alternative view:..."). I am sorry if English is your second language - I certainly wouldn't be able to discuss at this level in my 2nd language, but nor would I assume that I fully understood what was being said and choose to interpret it as a deliberate attack (or troll). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't think a "lot" of people are thinking this. I think a snarky few who refuse to believe a reasonable answer because frankly all they care about is their particular issue is about the sum you can attach to that. That isn't particularly abnormal, actually very common but that particular bug is not broad based to accumulate the "lot" to fulfill the above statement. Doesn't take away from the fact that BF is working on it and have said so repeatedly. Adding the mysterious silent majority or non participants into your total as a completely unverifiable factor does not at all add weight to this. I personally believe the people who are a. not signed onto the forums or b. part of the silent majority lurker type take BF at their word because BF has yet to be shown to lie and between peaks in work loads actually shares quite a bit for a small team. That they apparently don't live up to your and togi's standards of daily reporting on what they spent their time on today doesn't change that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then let's talk priorities. Do you think their priorities are to fix the game or release modules? Because right now, the CMRT patch isn't the only thing that's late. We were supposed to have alot of modules and packs released by now, but they have all been delayed because of this annoying bug. If BFC were really in it for the money, they'd have released a CMRT patch that didn't include the house bug fix and moved on to releasing more modules and packs to make money. So I'd think twice before starting to insinuate that BFC's priorities are with the allmighty $... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
