Heh I'm staring at  my  Warhammer army right now.. Dwarf of course.

Whoops!  40K more often than not.  In the 42 century, there is only war... and dice.  No one by the 42nd century fights wars without dice.  This is, of course, because the Greek Knucklebones Casino now spans half of earth.

I can't remember the epic version of warhammer that came out, but a friend did a dwarf army there.  Personally, i'm Epic 40K.  If they would stop changing the rules, anyway.  *mumble*

Am I the only one baffled by Kim's and Age's posts?

Well I can tell you that being able to read and interpret SFB rules is of no help in this situation. Now where's my dice and tape measure? I feel the need to blow away some cavalry with some cannon.

Not sure I can be bothered, but as you are the Doc, can you run an AI standard patrol in 2 minutes in a KRC? If so, there is no problem and I am utterly wrong. If you cannot, then the KRC is a worse ship for AI missions than ones I know can.

Haven't played in over a year... has GW put out a new ruleset and books yet... seems to be the way they insure greater revenue.

Oh, Undead for Warhammer, Iron Warriors for 40K.

Age, once again you bring up the bias against people who play D3. There has been a lot of that the last few days and I see no proof of it. Just people trying to incite anger over an issue that does not exist.
As for the comments you recieved on your tactics posts... well if you are going to talk tactics without actually having used them against a human player you should grow a thick skin for the responses you will get.
As for Skyflyer's post, did you actually read it or just the title? It was humor directed at the fact that GW3 was starting at the same time as his school year. Nothing offensive, just a joke.


I will explain a first hand experience about the way people react to a person/fleet playing the D3.

When SCF3 first came out, most of the SSCF members bought it.

We practiced a little together, then decided to play in our first "real campaign".

I was approached, by a D2er on MSN, and asked if the SSCF was playing in the D3.  I said yes.

That person immediately went to the D2 forums and announced that the SSCF was now a D3 fleet.

Why?  We play a D3 campaign and all of a sudden we were a D3 fleet?  That made no sense to me.

I begin to realize what was going on.  The D2ers could not except the fact that someone, or some fleet was an SCF fleet.

They HAD to be a D2 fleet OR a D3 fleet.

I was shocked.  This made no sense to me since the person yelling about never even played SCF3 at the time.

So, yes I understand what is being said.  

You are labled a D3er exclusively if you play there, at least at first you were.

Now, on the other hand, when I first went into the D3, I felt very unconfortable.  People were ruder.

I finally realised that the player base were young squirts that had no manners.

I haven't been on there for quiet some time so I don't know how much it has changed.

You may not have felt the difference between the D2 and D3.  You may not have been fingered as a traitor of the D2, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done.

Yes, it is two different games, and it attracts different people for different reasons.

But, we could be civil neighbors and share ideas with each other.

Wow , and I thought the SSCF caught hell over the BF1942 Games. which although I wasn't able to play on very much, I still liked.

To the Original point, There's 4 games here Made by the same people. Why can't we be a Community based on that alone?

I'm not sure why not, and It hasn't been Told to me where I can understand.

    Sure, but I though all the D2 regulars stocked was booze and catnip.  Mostly booze.

Edit:  Wait, J'inn did say he stocked shampoo.  Kiwi and something.  Not that that has anything to do with sugar.

Another edit:  Wait, Chocodiles.  If we can make those then there's got to be sugar and chocolate around here somewhere...

The SSCF catches hell if we have an original thought and don't act like the other sheep.

Face it, people are scared when people do different things.  It makes them.... uncomfortable.

Don't be different, or you'll get fingered.

Rubbish. Am I a D2er? Yes I am. Was I in anyway part of this non-acceptance of a fleet doing both? No, far from it.

Now stop painting people with broad brushes.

 The D3er that are in here are from BattleClinic and I think Kane is one of them.I am only guessing?

You were not said to have done it personally, but that doesn't mean it wasn't done.

Don't call me a liar when I experienced it first hand.

Kimberly

Ok that adds some insight for me. To be honest Kim I've never labelled myself as an OP'er or what have you. Recently I have been speaking as an OP'er but just in rebuttal to some of the comments made. I do not belong to any fleet or any other organization, I got upset about being grouped with the (as far as I know) illusionary D2'ers that trashed people on D3. For me it is a game I play with people I have fun with... no more, no less. When people start spouting about "honor" and "meet me on the field of battle" like it had any bearing on our real lives... well that starts to get into the obsessive zone.
Once again, I don't see where D2'ers are dumping on D3'ers in this forum. Maybe it is in PM's or GameSpy, but other than some often repeated "We don't care" posts I don't see the issue.
Is it just me? Am I really that dim?

You know, now that it's been recalled to life I do dimly remember some of that flak in the taldren forums.

Less yaking and more looking for sugar.  I mean, seriously, asking a fora full of married men and bachelors for a cooking ingredient.  The bachelors are eating pizza and pop as we speak and the married men got married for a reason, right?

I think it's with the Gorn, as they're the ones eating chocodiles.  Or with the Lyrans and their Krispy Kremes.  Going to the lyrans might be the better bet.

Read your post slowly? Why, did you write it slowly?
All I can say is it is differnt people on the TriMod forums, never been there that I know of.  If you feel you have been treated harshly on the D2 forum, maybe you should step back and think about why that happened. Rather than come into a group of people and expect them to adapt to you, you should get to know the lay of the land and adapt to it. The D2 board is very wecoming to new players, lots of help and advice to be given. But when someone comes in and starts telling people they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground that person should expect some rebuttal.
As for SFC3, I really got to go with the tried and true.... Who Cares? Who is Kane and what bearing does he have on me? As I said before I occasionally load up SFC3 and try the mods, but with all the b***sh** you guys have going on, why would I (or anyone else) bother?
It really seems like another attempt to drag OP players into that warped little war going on for the D3. If that is the case.... go away.
