The problem is that I was helping someone who lost the files. Not giving it away arbitrarily. Just helping someone who had a HD crash. You know that help thy fellow man thing. Yeah I see the irony in it. But its about going above to help someone who lost something they may have used a lot. Please explain to the community why you couldn't help him out. We would love to know.

And that is all it would of took. Just help the guy, tell him not to distribute the files and leave it at that.

I don't think he meant it to be inflammatory Eight.

Many many thanks Ant!

Yes it does, for only a few, but you see Combatace is where you and the rest ARE the community. I am not going to pull anything off this site. Yes we get testy with each other in certain situations but by and large we have a great community. Always have and always will. So don't fret, Tristan. We here at CA and at C5's will press on and have fun while others can be miserable somewhere else.

Selfish is the correct word. Bottom line everyone got punished for the actions of a few. Even egotistical. Diego, you can't let things go at all can you? Brush the people aside and let the ones, your fans who support you enjoy your company and your work. Enjoy your knowledge. You have taken a game....and turned it into something that isn't fun....over a game.....Diego lets make sure you understand this....a game.....not real life, something you do to PRETEND you're a pilot......a game...a sim....are you getting this? So those files are that important to you that is the public uses them you will be unable to function properly in your daily life? And don't give us the BS about the principle of the matter. Are you unable to start anew, a clean slate, with your well defined rules and people who are willing to make sure they are enforced? Can you not let the little man get you down? Just tell the nay sayers to stuff it and come back to a community that wants you back? Because if your answer is no, then you are truly a lost cause. So then I see no reason for you to even be at Combatace. Its for a community not for that other stuff.

Oh I have had my share of carrying cans of gas to the fire too. I will readily admit that. And admit I have been wrong at times and impatient at well.

I never jest and don't call me Shirley.

You know it would be nice that if all the bad blood was forgotten. Everyone shook hands and turned over a new leaf. No animosity, no vendetta's, no grudges, just press on, become a community again. No territorial bounds. But it won't happen. Some aren't willing to say hey, no one was right, no one was wrong, let bygones be bygones, let's mod....let's fly and have fun. Its really sad to be honest. That something we do for fun....yes something that has no bearing on real life has turned into a real life problem.

Long story.....from way back when but I do not want to derail C5's topic.

gambit168. Hope you have a great day.

There are going to be a few rotten apples...(Ranger332). It is like that in every walk of life. You just have to roll over them and press on.

You are right. And it does all boil down to ego. It was a sad incident indeed. If you didn't want people to use your work to begin with then you shouldn't of let people use it, or why even bother to mod? Of course we will get the obligatory response of people stealing his work etc. Well why punish the majority when we can handle that minority? I consider it the highest for of flattery when people use my mods etc. You got to be able to shake off and deal with those people but not act like a child and take all your things and leave. As you said Don...man up.

It is normal depending on your supply preferences when you started the campaign.

Wait, I thought I was rock?

It looks like puke city to me......LOL At least for me until I got my sea legs about me.

Thats what separates the US from other countries. We aren't afraid to rock the boat. And we won't wait for it to get that bad.

We got a dedicated server so we don't have any connection problems. I mean you are talking about Wolf_257, Hrntfixr, Deuces, Me, SayWhat, Viper6, and Havoc.....and of them I think I am the only one who has a 360. Then when we play we got friends of Deuces who come in too, so there is no cheating. So in the long run, I doubt everyone here will go out and get a 360.

CW you need to get the PC version and join us on teamspeak or vent....we have a blast.....

Carlo Those are very nice. You shold show those off to Column5 for use in NATO Fighters 3

Its funny he got his pee pee spanked.....

Hey Ken check your PM I think I might of found a solution to your earlier question.

One of my fav classes I made was the MP5 w/ red dot and the Desert Eagle, then I added double tap and last stand. Then my other is the silenced G36 with overkill sporting my M60E4 with front grip with last stand. I got s shipment set up like Hrnt's, auto shot gun and martyrdom. I really like last stand. With the Desert Eagle I get sometimes 2 kills with it.

.....

Great story Ed. Sound like it was a pretty good trip.
