Question about AI's use of radar

[thewood1]

btw, I am being kind to that compared to some emails and PMs I am getting. There are a number of people incredibly frustrated with players that won't help themselves.

I stand by the assertion made above that there is not rampant plagiarism by designers. Contrary to accusing, I pushed back against even a small reference to it. I also reminded the forum that it’s a common courtesy to give credit when borrowing others ideas. What’s there to disagree with? I thought this was cleared up two weeks ago.

Respectfully,
Kevin

[thewood1]

Hmmmm...don't remember mentioning any names.

[kevinkins]

Did you really have to? Do you agree that this has been cleared up and we can move on?

Respectfully,
Kevin

[thewood1]

No, I don't agree it was cleared up. You want to come in and complain about me, take a look at the blow up you created in this very thread for absolutely no reason. You can't even stand behind your own comments...or did someone else delete your comment above?

Again, step up and help in the Ballyhoo thread. Get him to figure it out. You do that and I'll stay out.

[kevinkins]

I will apologize for "blowing up" the thread, if that's what happened. I believe I sufficiency explained my reason for side tracking since I felt the issue of "copying" was important to clarify immediately. Next time, I will start a new thread to bring up important side issues. Appears that is the generally recognize procedure.

Respectfully,

Why don't we try this......if YOU (thewood1) don't like what some poor poster writes, or if YOU think that what they wrote is beneath you because it is just taking up space, then why don't YOU simply refrain from responding to it?

There are enough people out here who will be glad to help, and they will help ANYONE, without giving them attitude. It doesn't have to be YOU to tell them how lazy or stupid that they are. YOU should just simply not respond.

On the topic of lua, no one wants to spend a whole day trying to read a manual (that is spotty at best on this topic) to learn how to turn the radars on for a specific unit at a specific time, when they can simply ask more experienced players. Many of us WERE ORIGINALLY THAT GUY, and now that we know how to do it, so WE will be glad to help others out by solving their problem for them.

YOU, on the other hand, are very capable of actually answering the question, but instead, YOU like to berate, or belittle others for "not reading" or "not knowing." YOU actually spend more time and energy implying that people are stupid and lazy, when you could just simply answer their question. This must be some kind of personality disorder that you have because it is weird behavior.

So, personally, I really would prefer that YOU don't ever respond to any of my questions, and I'm sure that others probably feel the same way. Because for every one of the BULLIES (like you) out there, there are are 20 people (myself included) who actually want to help ANYONE that desires help, and none of those people ever berate, chastise, or bully anyone. That is your whole game and no one wants to be addressed in the sullied manner that you address people.

So, please refrain from EVER responding to anything that I EVER write, and I will be just fine. I don't ever need, or ever want you to respond to me on ANYTHING. Conversely, I won't be responding to you, either.

Holy crap...really? After that disaster of a thread going on in tech support about teaching the basics of copying and pasting, you have the gall to complain about people helping you. You need to take a big long look in the mirror to figure out if you just plain have the computer competence to play this game. I noted you are finally reading the manual. It took you how many posts to figure that maybe you should go back and do it.

It is incredibly selfish of you not do something basic like read the manual or all the information you are given before generating a 20 post thread in which 3-4 people have spent time helping you. No issues asking about getting the picture sets or functions keys to work, but look at how many times it had to be explained to you. I still suspect you still don't know what the Fn key is on your computer. There is some basic PC knowledge needed to play the game. You don't seem to have ability or don't seem willing to learn it on your own.

As I said multiple times before, I love helping people who will help themselves. You are a very selfish person who's first reaction to playing the game is come in and start a 20-post thread with 3-4 other players trying to help you. Let's breakdown that current thread. You were told 3-4 times how to copy and paste PLUS given a document that explains in very great detail how to do it. Yet the thread went on a good portion of the day with your meandering replies. I suggest looking through the forum at your threads, the questions you asking, how long its taking for you to comprehend, if at all. Then look at other threads of people asking for help or having questions, especially from new players. Do you see them asking the same questions over and over again. The forum participants are putting a lot of work into ONE person who just plain seems incapable of helping himself.

[thewood1]

btw, I went back and on other thread where you asked for help copying and pasting...yes, I know, a shock, you have two threads on the same topic...and checked that I had posted the detailed instructions because the other forum disrupter POS was struggling with it. That doc has pictures and everything. I mean detailed pictures of directories, files, etc. I am suspecting you never looked at it. Shocking, I know.

[DWReese]

Thanks for proving my point.

[thewood1]

You're welcome

At some risk, I will say that I don't really enjoy coming to the forum much lately. No matter how much I want to catch up on the latest and greatest. Not much fun finding the nuggets of gold among everything you have to wade through. IMO.

[thewood1]

Well, I'm sure I'll bump into you in the threads where new players are asking for some help...oh wait, nevermind.

[Sigma8510]

I wasn't really directing that at anyone in particular... Just stating my opinion. Wow

[thewood1]

Really?...at the bottom of a dead thread. Well I was.

Jebbus Marie and the Carpenter stop already! Nobody cares.
