Cover Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Ok guys ever seen a POW executed? The following is a link to my wargamer's propaganda page. http://www.geocities.com/cover_frc/ Clink the link at the top called "exclusive Footage" to see a short flash movie. The movie is composed from ACTUAL screenshots from a real game played by Darwin, in which a captured officer is shot. When Dar and I saw this we laughed long and loud, then I made him take some screen shots for my propaganda page. The 3 screen shots became the flash movie. Enjoy it, and be sure to browse the rest of the pages, especially the links to Darwin's sight, as he is the bomb on wheels!! The page is best viewed with IE 5 and you must have a flash pluggin to see the movie. This is not faked, An ACTUAL WARCRIME WEEEEEEE!!!!! talk about realistic! ------------------ "Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives."

Cover Posted February 21, 2001 Author Share Posted February 21, 2001 Sooooooooooorrrrry..... No joke. The movie is made from 3 real screenshots from a CM game.. The German P.O.W. was shot by allied troops. I thought it was neat. If this happens often in your games, May be you are playing too often.........

Mh, the movie doesn't work...but my experience told me that it's not possible to target a prisoner. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site!

The Commissar Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 This brings back memories... Any of you old timers remember that "JOHEN PIPER" guy who wrote everything in capital letters and posted death camp pictures on the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamstersss Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Oh please, this is a cute quasi-feature of CM. Sometimes your POWs will "escape" in the middle of your troops and it looks like you're shooting prisoners. I think it adds flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooleen Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Here's a little tip for you: The words, War crime, and Joke never go together. Why not start of lightly like "ever seen this behavior in a game?" etc... It's all about the delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamstersss Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Oh come on, everything's funny. If you can't see the humor in the absurdity of the situation (Pixels executing pixels out of pixellated rage, for god's sake), then you need to reexamine the situation.

Cover Posted February 21, 2001 Author Share Posted February 21, 2001 Thank You Elija! I'm sure some of you can't see the flash movie, so I posted the actual screenshots. The sound and the blood are added after in flash. If I pissed anyone off with the warcrimes thing, sorry..................... I found "this behavior" interesting, so I created something from it.... Even if it is twisted.. At least I did something with it. "Elijah Meeks: Oh please, this is a cute quasi-feature of CM. Sometimes your POWs will "escape" in the middle of your troops and it looks like you're shooting prisoners. I think it adds flavor." ....Wow never knew that.... there was no escape I saw.. he never put his hands down.. just died... To all the tired, teenage, pimple-popping, game junkies out there right now sitting with your legs spread, scratching gonad, who are too busy wishing you knew what a girl smelled like up close, to take the time to create something or appreciate another's efforts, LOOSEN UP... I was just playin around.... To those of you who can appreciate the effort, however weak on the creator's part, to bring humor to what amounts to a very serious game..... I say GOOD SHOW!!! Go right on seeing the funny stuff where you can... Life is too short. To all those people out there making games and creating fan sites... I say..WAY To GO!!! Keep right on creating and don't let the critics stop you. Most of them are still mad at thier fathers and need to let go of thier hate, and stretch out with thier feelings!

No the holocaust WAS NOT funny. I am a decendant of actual German and Austrian jews who escaped prior to the horrors that went on over there. 3/4 of my family that stayed behind was arrested and/or murdered, or held in camps til war's end. The family names were Grouppe and Strong. I don't find it funny at all. I was making a joke about the game's behavior. I would have replied with email to you Space Thing, but you have none listed..... go figure. ------------------ "Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives."

You're telling me you don't find it the least bit ironic that a modern society managed to blame all it's ills on minorities and the underprivileged even though, by definition, these people had the least power. Life sucks, Space Thing, there's suffering and ineqaulity all over, the good guys lose, evil goes unpunished and nobody cares. If you can't laugh at the absurdity of it, than you're not going to enjoy it. If you don't enjoy it than why the hell are you still here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda of ironic on a forum dedicated to playing games based on war. I guess war is fun, just not funny....

Guest Madmatt Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 I find watching someone suffer and die to not be all that enjoyable personally and issues involving WarCrimes, real or simualted are always hotbeds on this forum. For that reason I am locking this one up. I have edited the above after finally getting the page to load and saw that it was different than I first thought, still off topic and inappropriate enough to warrent shutting this down now though. Thank you. Madmatt [This message has been edited by Madmatt (edited 02-21-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
