flamingknives Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Socialistic? How dare you? I'm quite clearly a Communist. None of that wishy washy socialist business for me.

Michael Dorosh Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Originally posted by Reincarnated: Well, I don't know about your theory, but I do know that discussions concerning CAS in this forum tend to degenerate in a hurry. Perhaps it has something to do with the topic. I do agree with you on the subjective nature of the material. I don't know what effect this has on the behaviour of forum residents, but I suspect it has little to do with it. Maybe the answer has more to do with how this forum is policed? I've never been on the Il-2 forum so I can't compare. Cheers [/QB]Well, Senor MacGillivray, perhaps that is more closely tied to how certain individuals deconstruct themselves in public!

Seanachai Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Originally posted by flamingknives: The current CAS thread in the CMAK forum is remaining fairly civil. The last one in this forum did seem to go a little nuts, however. Actually, even the previous CAS threads were pretty well-mannered until a single poster, who's screenname was Cabron66, decided to have a psychotic episode. It seems that despite the fact that he regarded the thread as 'his', and only wanted to hear from people who agreed with his never clearly stated or thought out position on CAS, a number of people were simply discussing their own ideas and supporting them with actual sources. Rather than look like a fool for throwing a hissy fit in 'his' thread, Cabron66 went out onto the Board and found other threads where the people who weren't agreeing with him had posted, and then picked a fight over bogus issues that he thought wouldn't expose him as being a mean-spirited little wretch. He quickly escalated from daring people to 'knock the chip off his shoulder', to being abusive and vulgar. At that point several people stepped in and told him that he was getting worked up over nothing, that his name calling and abuse weren't appreciated, and that he ought to relax and develop a sense of humour. At that point he became even more abusive, to the point of looking absolutely ridiculous. When others finally realized he was either off his medication, or simply a troll, he was pretty much laughed at and ignored (laughed at in a number of places, and ignored in the CAS thread). He then suffered pretty much a total mental meltdown, sending out a flurry of personal emails, making vague and rather foolish threats, following people he'd had tiffs with to other threads and vilifying them, and erasing all his remarks in the CAS thread, then restoring them, then altering them, and, finally, doing god knows what with them, as well as going to BFC and demanding that a large number of posters on the Forum needed to be dealt with most harshly because he, Cabron66, didn't like them, and they weren't falling down to kiss his arse. Finally, like a sort of perverse Phoenix, he immolated himself in a thread that accused four of the people who he'd selected as his 'enemies' (how I missed getting on that list, I still don't know) as 'controlling the Forum'. From the ashes, arose the Four Horsemen of the Combat Mission Apocalypse. Of all Cabron's works, the only one of any value. What distinguished Cabron66's tenure was the fact that he consistently blamed other people for his own behaviour, waved red flags to distract from the fact that the only person with a problem was himself, made ridiculous accusations, was boorish, vulgar, and insulting, and then accused everyone else of the same behaviour. He then left the Forum, vowing never to return until he'd received a public apology. Had he been a clearer thinker, or, in fact, any kind of thinker at all, he would have stated that he wasn't EVER going to leave the Forum until he'd had an apology. I imagine that, in keeping with his petty nature and personal cowardice, that he'll simply come back to the Forum under a new screenname and then attempt to vilify others, degrade the community, and denigrate BFC from the camouflage of some supposedly 'reasonable' new poster. Such people have no personal honour, and very little real backbone. The internet, sadly, is the perfect medium for them to seek to validate their own insignificance and insecurity by means of posturing and arrogance, and provides them a no risk means of attacking and abusing others from behind multiple masks of anonymity. Still, if he'll come back and concentrate on stalking me and hating me as he should, all will be forgiven. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One suggestion - don't try to deduct anything on your taxes for this. I'll have you know the fine upstanding folk of the Cheery Waffle thread have never considered sacrificing MasterGoodale, figuring any deity would be highly offended. However, MasterGoodale is even now conducting his own personal war of extermination in his basement, and most of us in the Cheery Waffle expect the news of his demise to come any day.

About a week per month would be nearing the "cruel and unusual punishment" forbidden by the Constitution. Of course, since some of the Four Horsemen are not US citizens, I say the more cruel and unusual punishment for them, the better! And what could be more cruel and unusual punishment than Sancho Seanachai as a constant companion? The "helmet full of curds" question I'll leave for a braver person than me to answer. :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanachai Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Oh, and by the way, Sightreader, I think a certain amount of the difference between the IL-2 forum and this one is in the nature of the difference between the two games. Combat flight sims, by their nature, are games that involve huge burst of adrenalin in the playing. They tend to appeal to adrenalin junkies, and there is a great deal of frustration wrapped up in the game. Is it to be wondered at that these frustrated, wound up, competitive individuals also evince a certain amount of arrogance and are more prone to anger? Combat Mission, on the other hand, helps sublimate these emotions. Setup and orders assignment are thoughtful, calm, calculated matters. When things play out during the movie phase, the player is no more than an observer. He can scream, curse, shout, dance, and enact triumph, but he cannot affect anything until the next moment of calm, orderly issuing of commands. During the movie, most CMers probably experience catharsis, jubiliation, horror, or simply drunken despondency. Or something. But in order to deal with the next turn, they have to leash those emotions again and assign orders. It is the sort of game that's going to appeal to people that believe in taking time over something, thinking things through, and who are willing to wait and cope with the highs and the lows. To some extent, this attitude is reflected by the Forum. Now, an adrenalin pumper like IL-2 appeals more to people who are on the edge, into the instant of the moment, and who are pushing all the time. Not, in other words, quite as given to calm reflection or as willing to sit back and see what their fate will be. And their forum reflects that nature. A fighter jock who's gotten shot down is angry and unhappy, the same one who's truimphed is jubilant and cocky. A CM player may go through both those stages, and everything in between, in the course of one game, or even one turn. I think it tends to make them more philosophical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 You obviously haven't played Combat Mission using "Soddball's Beer and Biscuits TCP/IP Rules", then. What are you doing out of the Peng thread? Can't you go and keep them under control? Every time I enter that rancid place I feel like I've job-swapped with a proctologist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
