God Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 It is my considered and expert opinion that this game insufficiently models the effects of 'divine intervention' on the WW2 tactical battlefield. The power of 'prayer' was well known to small-unit commanders and was frequently invoked by combat soldiers to gain an extra bonus in fire-fight situations. Equally well documented is the fact that Propaganda units seized on the benefits of this factor and frequently exhorted their countrymen to greater efforts by declaring 'God is on OUR side!' Designers, please fix this or do somefink asap! PS - Disclaimer I feel, that in order to avoid any silly misunderstanding on the part of imbeciles, I must make clear that although my name is 'God', I am not THE God (as in The Supreme Being). Its just an uncanny coincidence that I happen to share a moniker with the Omnipotent One. In no way have I suggested in my post any connection with The Divine Entity and feel I must make this clear before anyone attempts to make this connection. After all I don't want any 'slap-happy' individual to waste their time on some pointless 'Witchfinder General' crusade trying to prove that I claim to be The Almighty when I have done no such thing. That would surely turn this board into pure 'slap-stick', no? Actually I blame my parents for giving me his silly name - I can only presume they had high hopes for me or somefink. Yours in Spirit, God P. Entwhistle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 I think attempts at humor should be made in areas other than religion, at least for the time being. Try bashing on the current slate of really terrible movies, venting about bad drivers, or other things. Continuing in this vein is likely to end in a block or ban. And General Forum is the best place for OT posts. DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juju Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 You know, I really loath TV commercials. The way some of these people in 'em adress you as if you're mentally impaired. Tsk... 's funny, but, oh, never mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every board has this happen every so often -- no big deal, they will get banned, their ISPs notified, and then the board moves on. But until they are dumped, normal communications will quickly fill with jokes and harrassment of one sort or another. Not a big deal, but BTS has way more to concentrate on that a kid who decides to start 35 accounts as a joke.

Doug Beman Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 Peiper! THAT'S the name I was trying to remember back when we were discussing "most heated threads of all time." Thanks for reminding me. And yes, it occured to me that this was a troll post right after I hit the submit button. My bad. DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 But seriously, Doug, the reason the Bren tripod isn't modelled in CM is because it can be converted into an AA mount (I've seen it done first hand) in a few seconds flat. The German one could not. This raises many interesting questions, ie Bren Guns vs. aircraft, etc., that probably couldn't be answered by the design team at the time...

russellmz Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 cripes, i thought it was funny: "game insufficiently models the effects of 'divine intervention" why the assumptions that it will lead to huge flame wars? "you made an assumption. that makes an ass out of 'u' and 'mption'" - mitch, the long kiss goodnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 Hmmmm... does seem like an unlikely topic for a first post...Hell, who would trust anyone with a name like God P. Entwhistle! On the other hand it seems like some of the people in this thread "have a rod up their butt with a rod up its butt-Supernintendo Chalmers, simpsons" This coulda been a funny topic but u guys went and ruined it! Anything said by a man with a name like God P. Entwhistle has to be funny! And I would suggest that Mr. Entwhistle crawl back to whatever sort of twisted, Monty Python skit he came from. Whoops! Almost forgot. Hi Mom! [ 09-16-2001: Message edited by: Captain Wacky ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tread Head Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 A Jew and his secretary were sitting in a coffeehouse in Berlin in 1935. The Jew was reading the Nazi anti-Semetic paper, Der Sturmer. The secretary said, 'how can you, a Jew, read such a Nazi libel sheet?' The Jew said, 'when I used to read the Jewish papers, all I learned about were pogroms, riots in Palestine, and assimilation in America. But now that I read Der Sturmer I see so much more: that the Jews control all the banks, that we dominate in the arts, and that we're on the verge of taking over the entire world. You know, it makes me feel a whole lot better.' [ 09-17-2001: Message edited by: Tread Head ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
