I fled my country because the francophones in Quebec kept asking whether or not they needed to be part of Canada in the first place, that is, until we won a Stanley Cup or had the Olympic team do well or some other such nonsense.

Didn't you do it because of stupid tax rates and low wages as other 11 mils of canucks did in last 30 years?

Do me favor, take you political commentary somewhere else.[8|]
I am tired of reading political crap on this board. This is not the proper venue for it.

Do I need to post anonymously to state that ever since we gave women the vote it's been all downhill from there?
Yes, I believe I do...fortunately the g/f is not home to see this act of non-pc'ness. ....
Frankly, I don't know if our current state of society in the US is more frightened than the one that hid under desks for air raids from potential USSR nuclear strikes (almost as stupid as the shoe bomber if you ask me, so things haven't changed much there)....
But a frightened society it is that elects dubya. In turn frightening....
GOOOD i wish there was some news about the patch. I'm bored to tears discussing politics....and of reading them. HEY-wasn't there some completely refreshing nonsense posted about WB cartoon characters and Monty Python sketches a few discussions ago? Couldn't we just spin this into unbridled nonsense?
Tankerace has shown us the way with his love of curly-incidentally, Tanker-kudos to you for releasing monthly updates as to the ongoings of your project. I've worked with hardware and software a looong time, and I know if you keep people in the dark about patches and stuff you're apt to get burned...wonder why Kid et al have gotten so quiet. Nothing embarrassing about running into snags....?

denison,
If you read through my post again, you might find it mostly tongue-in-cheek. I ended by asking others if we could escape politics and get back to the 'supremely silly'.
Fortunately others did so intentionally. You apparently are doing so unintentionally, but no matter. You're right that it should be a little lighter-hearted than wearing political hearts on sleeves.
I for one, am just frustrated as there are several things the patch purportedly addresses that I don't want to start another game without patching. That said, I can wait so long as I hear that SOMETHING is happening with it...
As for future matters, just do yourself a favor and don't read my posts...

I reread your post. Pointed political comments are pointed political comments.
Not sure how "light hearted" applies.
I have no decided political agenda, I simply dislike pointed political commentary in a forum that does not encourage discussion on the topic.
As for the patch, I am playing a PBEM under 1.21 and enjoying it. I will not start another without patching but see no reason to restart the long campaign PBEM as we are through April 1942.
And as for doing favors, don't post crap.....

denison, get off the cross we need the wood. You need to take yourself a little less seriously, dude. Get a life and stop posting quite so much on an open forum, perhaps you'll become attuned to the fact that you don't own it and have even less point telling me what to do. What next, your mom will beat up my mom?
Praise be freedom of speech. At least you 'get it'. How bout this. I'll stop posting crap if you start posting at least quasi-intelligently.

This ain't gonna get us anywhere. Enough's been said, I think. Don't let frustration feed the fire... Now, that being said, as a card carrying liberal middle of the road right winger...
I WANT MY 1.3!! And I'm going to hold my breath until I get it..
Wow... That didn't last long.

Thanks for the wakeup call, RevRick, I think you're on to a tack here that might get us the patch soon...
I suspect that the code to the game's been re-re-re-written so many times that while the OOB changes are straightforward enough (been doing thousands of my own since the game came out, trying to implement a lot of what I read on the OOB thread...) the EFFECTS of some of the fields are a complete mystery....
I might as well redirect-Tanker, I noticed NO automatic weapons in the field units' oob's-I was wondering, since I was trying to use up fields in a way that made sense to me, if you had tested anything of note in OOB tinkering with your Plan Orange mod?
Anything in there that some private hackers might make use of that is cool, different, or even undocumented that you can discern?
