I surrender

Post by lotromon »

Long time lurker here.

I have fought in three wars and 2 conflicts. I have never given up or surrendered to anything. But I must admit I am beaten. I will be dead and in my grave before this game ever gets published. I know Steve has worked his tail off on this project. Still I can see the handwriting on the wall. It seems like many of the fixes are things that are being fixed were in the process of being fixed years ago. For example, how many versions of theme engine has Steve gone through? How many operating systems have been released since the project start: XP, XP Pro, Vista, Win7, and now Win8. So yes I give up, and I quit. Thank you for your hard work Steve, but enough is enough. I am glad you have enough integrity to keep working on this project though.

OMG Bo, who co-opted you from the truth. You who for so long sang the truth when all about you were lies and deceit. How much did you sell your soul for? [;)] JK

I have not been here in a year or so due to my failed eyesite. I barely can see so my wife reads messages to me and is typing this response. Lotromon please leave Bo alone! He became a true believer in the game.

More than you could afford [:D] Ouch lies and deceit wow. [&:] How do you really feel! Everyone eventually sees the light lotromon some take longer than others I am paticulary slow just ask the guys on cod2. But in the end common sense and seeking the truth always wins out. Thank you for your observation though, deeply appreciated. [:@]

Full caps or partial caps? [&:] Jose what are you to do when this game breaks on July 31st and you Europeans go on your annual August vacation. [&:] I smell a divorce coming. The reason I brought this up is because us Americans wish that we could get a whole month off, its called jealousy [;)]

Hahaha In my case, very atipycal, I am usually able to take them whenever I want, unless there is a peak at work, which is very unusual.

Besides, this year I intend to take 3 additional months off because of tax reasons affecting only this year, and I also will get 3 weeks off to compensate the many hours studying hungarian language in the evenings, through the UE program FORCEM which will pay the firm my salary to encourage studying while working.

Plus (1 month reduced to) three weeks (because those 3 months don't give right to holidays), plus the bunch of additional days I have, I am going to work like 7 months in all this year if everything goes like projected (atipycal and expensive, three months w/o salary, yay!) so she will get bored to have me home, even though I will take a course on advanced accountancy to renew my knowledge... [:)]

abj sorry to read that, wish you the best.

Tax reasons what are taxes [:D] I am one of the 66% of Americans who pay no taxes nice huh. [8|] Why the Hungarian lanuage? In the good old USA we would all be better off to learn to speak Spanish because in a few years it will be the national language[;)] Wow how about ABJ.

One of the greatest WiF players I have ever met, a Vietnam Vet, is losing his eyesight. I truly hope MWiF comes out on time for him to be able to continue playing via large computer monitors...

Cause my wife is hungarian. She speaks also spanish and english but her family and friends learnt either german or russian as a second language and I need to be translated all the time. Youngsters now learn english or german, or both. Also, provided my firm expanded that way, it could be a competitive difference, almost nobody here, much less in my firm speak hungarian. Right now we're at several EU countries already.

Beings you attacked me for some reason, not sure what yet, the three wars and two conflicts you fought in, lets see, Medal of Honor, Cod2 and Cod4, Combat Mission Iraq and Combat Mission Syria, is there any I missed? [;)]

Bo,

First if you read my post I placed a wink on there and also clearly put JK (Just Kidding). My point was you used to be on one side and flipped and I was on the other side and flipped. As to my military record I have done Desert Storm, IRAQ and Afghanistan. I currently have 26 years in the US Army. What have you done?

If you took my statement as an attack my sincere apologies. I just remember when you used to be closer to werewolf's opinions than where you are today.

First let me say I put my foot in my mouth again [:-] Saw the jk and the wink but it went right over my head. Its called old age [:@] I did take it as an attack because I have tried very hard to correct my negative attitude that I have portrayed in the past. I think we are all getting the jitters again and getting very anxious. Not your fault but it brought back bad memories. I deeply appreciate your service to our nation and I was being very sarcastic which I apoligize. Not sure of Werewolf but I was in the Crussdaddy camp which is probably 10 times worse [;)] I was in the 501st Divarty of the 101st Airborne, and was very fortunate to never see combat. [&o] Again thank you for your service but if you want real combat play Cod2 [:D] Hang in there, listen to Jose, he has never led me wrong. Steve is busting his chops to get this awsome game to us cyber war game generals.
