GJ:  "You keep on looking for troubles when speaking of GJ's love for 'natural bushes'..."

I am rendered speechless.... 

I could have bet that you had stressed the Cat Stevens quoting...[:D] but maybe the double sense implied is only in my sick mind[8D]

I'm sure you mean "double entendre"

Yup ...with two meanings...

I think the kangaroo court can't help but find the AI guilty as charged. 3 weeks after PH, the AI decides to go raiding through the middle of the empire with a single carrier...which I manage to hunt down and sink with Ni Butai...

You would think it wouldn't do the same thing twice...think again...only this time I had Kido Butai available to chase it down. I managed to catch it at max Kate range and the second carrier group was sunk without even getting to launch a counter strike...the whole group was sunk.

So now the AI is down to 1 USN carrier until Wasp arrives and its only February 2, 1942.

Poor stupid AI. [8|]

Shark7 should be subject to a fine for trying to bring down judgment on the AI.
 
[:'(]

AI is a misnomer anyway...it would more correctly be referred to as the 'AS' (artificial Stupidity). [;)]

The AI for as good as it is, still has the limitations of being an AI...it will never 'think', and thus it will never be as good as a human opponent.

In the Kangaroo Court for the State of Denial

The Forumates of Said State

vs.

Oldman

Indictment

Count One: That on the 14th day of July, 2014, Oldman did, with lunacy aforethought, in a Forum post titled "Fairy Fulmar," which is a class A misdemeanor and high crime in and of itself, seriously propose to utilize the Fulmar as an offensive weapon in a War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition match. Said proposal against the decorum and high standards of serious players and contrary to the laws established by the Supreme AE being, to wit: Commandment One: Thou shalt not attempt to utilize the Fulmar or Wapiti in any offensive role in an Admiral Edition's match lest thou causest thy opponent to bang his head on the keyboard while simultaneously becoming dislodged from his seat of choice while laughing."

Presented to the Forum this 15th day of July, 2011.

Whoops,

I'm in trouble, I had a number of Wapiti & Audax squadrons in Ledo smashing the IJA in Warazup, very experienced pilots at the end of it. I'm not sure the IJA noticed.

I'd be in real trouble if I escorted them with Wirraways!

What do you get if you ring 1-800-Myrna loy??

Not to hijack this thread .. but one key concept of true artificial intelligence is Learning vs. your thoughts on "thinking". However, a very challenging opponet can be programmed using straight logic algorithums of "condition; test; action" without any learning whatsoever. GNU chess is such an animal. Such algorithums can test thousands of decisions and probable outcomes in seconds .. something you as a human are limited [;)], and further many developers of games are limited by resources required to model all the decisions in thier game.

There is hope, as computing technology advances learning algorithums that once required a Cray will soon be within reach of the Game Developer. Then it is a matter of the game learning the best decisions given a particular set of conditions.

While this will be a great day for wargamers...an AI that sees that something didn't work and doesn't keep trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result...IE insanity...the thought of Skynet does come to mind. [;)]

Many others sang that song, but i think the original version is from Cat Stevens

Just to be an anorak, it was written by Cat Stevens but it was first released by and was a hit for P P Arnold. She released her version in early 1967. I dont think Stevens ever released it as a single, just as an albumn track, recorded after Pat Arnold had her success. (Stevens originally wanted to be a song writer, not a singer).

My favourite is the 1977 Rod Stewart release.

This post probably makes me guilty of something even worse than leaving all CV air units on training during what was meant to be a sort of rerun of Philippine Sea. Difficult to have a turkey shoot if your darn birds don't fly![8|]

We have come to expect creative spelling from GreyJoy, but today he really excelled with this example:
 
"I remember when China fell...i felt like a Gromagnon Man in front of an I-Mac....[X(] "
 
I think a Gromagnon man must have been a prehistoric grognard.

If Brady were still posting on a regular basis you wouldn't even notice GreyJoy's miscues... [;)]

McHartur will be rolling around in his grave.

(Sorry GrayJoy, I bet you are better at my languare than I am at yours)

I know someone who sent three of his five his carefully hoarded US carriers into battle against the Japanese near Guadalcanal with all his escort planes set to train. [8|]

You know, the messages USS Wasp Sank USS Enterprise Sank USS Saratoga Sank should be a little more dramatic. Maybe something like USS Wasp Sank USS Enterprise Sank USS Saratoga Sank .

Ah, well, the wailing and moaning that brought his wife out of the nedroom thinking he'd had a heart attack was drmatic enough.

I've wasted more political points than Gordon Brown - half the Americal division to southwest pac - 8th Aus Div to ABDA (ABDA HQ - in July 42 - is languishing as a stock of support points in Imphal, while 8th Aus is fighting for its life on Kokoda).... Sent several overdue APs half way round the world before they finally got outta the pacific... "lost" QE in Sydney Harbour for months - i could go on...

Just returned from St. Maarten and a lovely vacation of fun, sun & rum (not nesseccarily in that order); catching up with required reading (Wall Street Journal can wait), when I bumped into this gem of a thread.
Canoerebel, you have outmastered your mastery of the forums with this one.
I am an old(er) person and as such, am averse to fits of chuckles and snickers. However, I found it very difficult to restrain the younger man's sense of silliness while reviewing the various confessions, comments and indictments.
From 'units of measurement' to 'spelling'; it was a joy of a read.
+1 for you Conoerebel, for planting this little 'tour de force' of WitP boo-boo's in a garden of oh, so serious wargaming!
More, please!

Oh, no!  My mother must have been talking to GreyJoy!  On the phone just now, she said she has a "dermacalogical" appointment next week. 
 
Of course, my mother's antics with speach long pre-date my awareness of GreyJoy's antics.  My mother once noted that she was given a shot with a "hyponemic durdle."  On another occasion, she made a comment about singer "Ingeldink Hunkleburt."
 
I hope my mother and GreyJoy never get together to hold a conversation.

Amphibious assault on Singapore way back when. [X(]

I remember that! [:D] The thing is it actually worked, so that has to be a mitigating factor.

The Forum Community has yet to appoint a court and prosecutor, so in the meantime we must rely on Forum members to report abuses and violations whenever and wherever encountered.  To this point, most such reports have been self-made, but the time has come to vigilantly police the sanctity of the forum.

With this in mind, I would like to report a transgression by GreyJoy, who in his AAR today posted this:  "FWIW i remain fixed on the typical beauty from the 70s...thin, blonde and naturally hairy[8D]"

I've never heard a man exlaim a preference for "naturally hairy" women, so I think GreyJoy is in breach of universally recognized taste in the fairer sex.

Could it be that he has a crush on a lady in her 70s who still has her own hair? [;)]

He means without a Brazilian wax...I presume....or perhaps he just likes Greek or Armenian women....oh wait... he did say blonde.....so I am back to the former.
