Post by: 15thRampage on December 31, 2002, 01:41:02 pm
I allways thouth that he Wing Commander Comunity //www.wcnews.com was a real close minded comunity, but I never thought that the WP creatos a moderatos where capable of doing thinks like this

http://www.wcnews.com/articles/dcon2002/page4.shtml (http://www.wcnews.com/articles/dcon2002/page4.shtml)

I know I don't have to bring stuff like this here, but Im really dissapointed with that community.

*Dissapointed?* How about *Hate their F**king guts!*

Sorry, but anyone who does anything like that earns a place on my *****head* list. :mad2: Gone WAY too far. If just ONE copy of Fs1\2 or Homeworld is TOUCHED by those monkey F**kers...

Let the inter-community flaming commence!

BTW, they must be stupid, spending all that money on games, just to destroy them.

I used to frequent that site every day, and still do sometimes and am still a big Wing Commander fan. But this... this is shocking.

I think it's an attack of the "why don't they make more WC games". Maybe we'll be doing that in the future with "FS-ripoffs"... *shudder*

ok people, so they did something stupid that they felt was fun.  what's the big deal really about?  They bought some games and destroyed them.  they have that right.  Would it help you all if i destroyed my copy of WC Prophecy, and posted pics for you?  Will that make it all better?  hell i say, let em waste their money and time, as long as it keeps some morons happy and out of the freespace forums.

Heh, this is amusing, they think WC is better than Iwar and Tachyon... Look at it this way, all that money they just spent went straight into the hands of the people who created those 'cheap ripoffs'; they're hurting their own cause.

I think it's funny as hell personally.

I mean if they're stupid enough to buy games only to ruin them,...well...let them. Personally I like my money either in MY pocket, or being used to buy something I'll keep. What they're doing is lighting money on fire.

No forum invasions, mmkay?  I'm serious.  And yes, I used to visit the CIC on a semi-regular basis, but not for very long.  Let's just say I found their attitude towards anything that wasn't wing commander - or even held a different opinion than them - to be poor at best.  The funny thing is, WC is itself a ripoff, of SW among others.

Anyhow, this isn't worth your guys' time.

If we're quibbling over semantics and vague relations, everything is just a rip-off of Elite (and to a lesser extent, as Shrike said, those old wire-frame X-Wing games).

if we're going to REALLY quibble over semantics, it goes back to SPAWAR.

Space War (http://www.wheels.org/spacewar/), sometimes called SPAWAR because of old school filename restrictions.

Not just space combat, but multiplayer to boot AND it had some groovy physics. Some versions had blackholes instead of suns, and some of those versions had time dialation accounted for. :D

As a FreeSpace fan, I somehow feel the urge to send a nuke over to their servers and detonate it there. Maybe taking out the webmaster of that web site too.
Title: I Can hardly beleave my eyes
Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on December 31, 2002, 06:43:30 pm
everygame out there is just a rip off of pong.....long before atari there was pong.....even pong deluxe with tennis and hockey on it.

and even it was a ripoff of the time honored game....slide the beads of the abicus.....which was a rip off of that time honored classic game that the cavemen played with their enemies....drop the rock.  

So now we see that there is nothing new under the sun, save for the inventive ways in which man might not simply show...but actually experience his own stupidity.

But i gotta agree with shrike....leave them alone.  If we start burning our copies of WC, aren't we really ending up like India and Pakistan in the 90's?  Where they were mad at each other so they were nuking themselves instead of each other.  Inidentally, i think the first nuke that each one set off was a genuine test, after that they just thought it was neat.


in closing, this post was designed to make about as much sense as retaliating against them.

Bandit LOAF, the webmaster of the web page is one of the programers or at least he participarted on the creation of the WC games, but I think that does'nt give him the right to talk bad about other games,

I feel sorry for them, and i will not visit their forum anymore, they aditude sucks, for me, games are games, and hey are fun.

BTW

HAPPY NEW YEAH and only 1 month left for me to be single, IM GETTING MARRIED!!!!!

I think he worked for Origin for a time.  I don't know what he did, but I don't think it involved the programming end.

What part of this feature on CIC didn't you guys understand.  The whole thing is one big joke, not in the sense that it's plainly stupid but in the sense that the whole thing has done for fun and entertainment.  It is not intended towards the other communities as a 'threat'.

And though it does come across as slightly blunt and stupid on there part, the rest of you who are posting about ripping of this and that and making threats towards these people are even more stupid.

I mean come on for crying out loud.  They are having fun for the sake of it, thats all.  If you want to get them back, be creative not bloody stupid.

And what the heck is with all of the swearing and cursing all of a sudden.  Here I was thinking we were the enlightened Freespace community, far superior to those folks over at the Wing Commander sites.  But many of you posting pure rubbish for the sake of swearing and nothing much else have pretty much dis-proven that haven't you.

And before anyone asks, yes I am a Wing Commander fan.  But I am also a Tachyon fan as well as still own and enjoy the old Star Crusader game.  But I put Freespace first, which is why I'm here and not there.  But to be quite frank this place is starting to go the exact same of many of the old decent Wing Commander and Starcraft communities, straight into the bottom of the cestpit.

Now if you want to rant and rave about the 'enemy' then fine, but for god's sake please do it in a dignified manner and cut back on all of that unnecessary jibberish and swearing.  Do you honestly want to become as bad as some of the same people you are dissing?
