I rave against rants. Rants make me insane.

[azraelck]

You mean you weren't already?

I've seen some sites where entire sub-sections of the forums were dedicated to bitching about each other, if that's what you mean. Up to Matrix I guess if they want to add a "bitching forum".

I hate that my wife and I now have to ask for marinara sauce when we order cheese sticks at our favorite local pub....instead of it just coming with the order like it used to! [:@]

I hate when pompus asses come to a site and start picking on someone not based on any actual historical fact but just because they feel like they need to bash someone who dosnt type as elegant or as fluently as some fora patrons and then bash then as unintelligible just to sooth their own egoes[8|]. As in the case of Riun vs Tokyoboy. Further more I'm shocked that Mr. Erwin aka. Spam-a-nator, who may not be a mod here but does look after place, did nothing when the above mentioned thread took a turn for the ugly[:-]. Would you walk into a library and look at a book someone was reading and say "Hey dumb ass that book sucks" to a complete stranger? If you did it to me I'd hand you a Chuck Norris sized can of Whoopass. But I digress, Bottom line manners,manners,manners.
I know Im a depot guy but at least attempt to keep it civil here before we tarnish the game itself.

Here is a beautiful piece of wretched hatred if I've ever seen one... pulled from the 'Haig tactics win again' thread this was the first post I saw from Ruin T.

I've been reading your posts on this Haig topic since they started and REALLY hope that your just gesting and ribbing because IMHO as being a real combat infantry soldier, That you are nothing more than some WAR movie, combat bedazzled nerdy school kid whom only just read some stuff on Haig because u had to put some silly little school report together and when you blasphamy comments from other vets who have really had to go threw things like meeting and consoaling the families of close comrades that fell with them and had to live on after any officers decision. My point being you definately can be a real soldier or anyone old enough to determine any real life threatening exploits in your life besides this little game forum. YOU lossed to gunny and he isn't even a troop either and your eg. of the french vs the germans for an comparison was schoolkid too. You had the same fog and low vis as you complained was used against you before by Kopraali V and you did'nt tell us weither you delayed beyond turn 21 and how many units you managed to return to the exit hexes after turn 21 which is the real mission of a delay.
I won't even get into how it makes you look when you get into petty little quibbles with boneified studious vets like Flashfyre and M4 Bob with such watery unsubstantuated,partial facts and data. You've never had to meet your best buddys parents at the airport with the return coffin PUNK.... RIO TANGO out. You remind me of VONROM anybody else remember that name?!!

Here is a sample of azraelck's ongoing rhetoric. This is the most bitter tirade I've ever seen on the internet so it deserves a showing on the rant thread.

ORIGINAL: azraelck

Boy, I knew you were both arrogant and ignorant, but this takes the cake. First off, it's called byte overflow. Which means that Ruin inflicted so many casualties upon the Germans, that the game engine could not handle it. It's rather common in older games, which were written to more maximize memory usage. Nowadays, everyone uses long ints for storage, and everyone is happy. If he managed to overflow a long, that would be an incredible achievement.

What he did do, is achieve such a massive ratio of kills to killed, that it 'broke' the game, causing an erroneous negative number to be displayed. congradulations on being so completely stupid as to not realize something that I learned when I was 4 year old and did the same thing with the Might on my Knight in Might and Magic II.

secondly, don't assume you know who I am, little fool. The military channel is on 24/7 in my room, save when something pops up on the history channel. I HAVE studied the tactics and strategies of Ceasar, Hannibal, Rommel, Lee, Sherman, Patton, and more, extensively. I would sit down with both my grandfathers and argue tactics for hours on end with them, both veterans of Korea, and one of whom went on through Vietnam. And it's increasingly obvious my dog knows more than you about military tactics.

If you were dropped back in time, you would be slaughtered by your own men after the first battle ended with 75% of your force down and out. Your own DAR proved the point. I'm giving your strategy; Haig's strategy, a chance by building a scenario tilted in their favor. One a massive advantage in men and artillery, the other just having to contend with op fire; no artillery, and no countering attacks.

I am getting the same results that you got. I am getting the same results that Haig got on a real battlefield. Haig was a failure, a loser who's daddy bought him a commission because no sane army would allow such a fool to even serve in the trenches for fear that he'd shoot himself or his comrades in arms. WWI's trench stalemate, continued by such idiots as Haig was broken because more intelligent, well read officers put there foot down and started to actually think. And then the tank appeared, and using combined arms tactics, the war ended.

None of the above mentioned genreals used the moronic tactics that fail every time that haig used. Rommel did not. Churchill did not. Ceasar did not (and that was far enough back that Calvary and Infantry were pretty well it, no air power, no armored vehicles, and limited artillery; mostly geared for sieges). You bring up successful operation and commanders, then try to lump a failure, a loser who's every operation resulted in such losses that pushing a century later he's been villified. Your own DAR shows a failure. An absolute, complete failure. You refused to answer how long the battle took because it didn't take but perhaps 8 turns, 10 at best. Not even half of the 32 you should have used. My delays end at turn 3, with a complete victory. Your end at best in a draw, and then only because the game calculates differently than a real commander would. If you were so well read in military tactics, then you wouldn't view being routed from the field without barely denting an enemy force and losing the bulk of your own as a victory. The goal of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his.

Give me Ceasar's army, and Gaul is mine. Give me Chruchill's fleet, and Gallipoli will fall. With vonManstien's army, the Red army will be driven hard. I am better than all they were. There is something those leaders had that you lack, and Haig lacked as well. Common Goddamned horse sense.

He seems to think I should become a horse to reach his level of thinking.

Just going by your signature, man, you don't strike me as being particularly knowledgeable or mature. We'll give you a chance to grow up, but this of kind of stuff contributes nothing. Why are you here?
