Looking for experienced Soviet player

[Zemke]

Sorry to "but in" on this thread...however just curious, why take anyone is taking on a WiTE game now when WiTE2 is just around the corner? By the looks of it, it will be a far better simulation than WiTE currently is.

As for opponents, my main criteria are (1) not quitting on me, and (2) decent turn rate, (3) communications on real-life delays.

Your criteria for opponents are the same as mine.

Well v.1.12 patch notes is 9 pages and that is for a game in its 11th year. For WITE2, I am sure there will be lots of players rushing into it. But there will be bugs and game-balance issues to be
resolved and I prefer to wait a while. Different strokes for different folks
Plus, I feel that I still have something to learn in a somewhat stable game system, so I may got at it for a few more games.

For some reason, I cannot reply to your post directly.

I have closed communication regarding him in one of my previous post. No, I will not play a game with him and can you guys stop harping on it.

I think there are a number of reasons. The biggest reason is as they sit now, WITE1 is definitely a more balanced and proven game than WITE2. Eventually I expect WITE2 to become a better and more balanced game but it took quite a long time to achieve that in WITE1 and will probably take a while in WITE2. There is also obviously the financial side of it where many people might not be able to immediately afford WITE2 until it would be significantly discounted.

Not sure why but the forum software here can be a bit funky as its pretty old but you can just manually enter a quote from someone.

Ok, its your choice, I was just providing some advice around using the latest patch and saying that I've played with him before. Its the only reply I've made to this thread so no reason to get upset and accuse me of "harping on it". Good luck finding an opponent.

According to Cambridge Dictionary, harping on it means "to talk or complain about something many times".

Note that I use the phrase "can you guys stop harping on it". Guys in the plural sense referring to yourself redrum68, oldrocky (Post #12) and another guy who PM me. It is just a general and true statement, I don't think I "accused" anyone of anything

Not sure why you then felt the need to then defend yourself and quote a dictionary as again I was trying to be helpful and wished you good luck but I guess we can start to see a pattern in this thread... But the quick googles search gives this definition: "talk or write persistently and tediously on (a particular topic)." I wouldn't say my single comment falls into that definition and generally the term "harping" has a negative connotation which is why it isn't just a "true statement" but accusing people of things they didn't do.

Please read my post properly. I was saying "guys", not meaning you alone but all three guys.

I don't know who is trying to hijack my thread. I am just looking for an opponent and you guys keep trying to promote him. I have already said clearly that I will not play a game with him in a previous post and you guys still continue. If this not "harping", then I don't know what is.

In any case, just leave my thread alone. This is becoming "group trolling"

[Menschliches_Gehirn]

Frankly, I am quite disappointed with this forum so far as compared with other game forums.
Too many people refusing to take a game offer rejection or accepting other viewpoints.

Please, no more posts concerning JoeLewis
I am also glad I asked the few questions and eliminated future pains

Maybe a little background about myself. I have played board games and computer games for 35 years, starting with Third Reich in the 80s. I have played quite a number of Strategic & Operational level computer games like the AGEOD series and HPS Panzer Campaigns.

I have had bad trolling experience in another game forum but found my best opponent after that so I will stay optimistic

I did read your post and in no way do I see the 2 posts in this thread (1 by myself and 1 by oldrocky) to be anything even close to "harping" as I've tried to explain to you and not sure why you continue to insist I was "harping" on it. If you asked anyone to read those posts and whether they would consider that "harping" I'm pretty sure almost everyone would say no. Maybe you should re-read the posts as it appears you are filling in information that doesn't exist, adding in PMs which no one but you can see, and creating your own "truths". And now it appears you are doing the same thing all over again and now accusing me of "group trolling".

I've been around this forum and community for a while, found many great opponents, and never had any issues with anyone or any "group trolling". If you are experiencing similar responses across multiple forums then there would seem to be one obvious common factor... You may want to step back and read what you've posted in this thread.

Precisely because you only see the posts here and are not aware of the PMs that I received. So you are commenting without knowing the whole picture. I have been stressing the word "guys" and it does not only include yourself and oldrocky. Only the affected person which is myself knows and I classify it as "harping".

I am just trying to find an opponent and why do you all (that is multiple guys) keep on bringing up someone I do not wish to play with and openly said so.
If you are in my shoes, won't you consider it "harping"

You are still missing the entire point here. To you, it may feel like "harping" with lots of other communication outside of this thread and you are welcome to feel and classify it however you see fit. The difference is pushing accusations like "harping" and "group trolling" onto other people who can't see the rest of whatever information you have is not a positive contribution to this thread or community. Also using terms like "you guys", "guys", "multiple guys", "you all", etc isn't at all helpful as its ambiguous especially when used in specific response to my post. Again reading this thread and seeing it from the perspective of someone besides yourself would probably be a useful exercise...

Please stop here and leave my thread alone, I apologise as "group trolling" is too strong a phrase. But, I still stand by the "harping".

I am just someone trying to find an opponent using a different methodlogy from everyone else.
And I stand by the freedom to choose one's opponent without too many other voices.

[redrum68]

Sigh. Not sure there is a much better explanation that I can provide but at least you've acknowledged fault in part of your accusations. Maybe one day you'll be able to see that accusing people of "harping" when they can only see a limited part of the communication you've had is not a positive way to move things forward.

And just to set things straight, I haven't made any comments around your methodology of choosing opponents and have no issue with asking questions or quizzing potential opponents to gauge their level of experience. I'm fine with whatever methodology people choose to use as long as they are not breaking any forum rules and being a positive contributor to the community.

[Menschliches_Gehirn]

I do not quiz my potential opponents. Just a couple of questions on their thoughts on the areas of the game.

Apply only if you are comfortable with a little discussion upfront. After all, it is a long game and this helps to prevent early resignations.
