Simply go North and up 6 degrees or so past me (Pleiades) and you will be in Perseus. Keep to the RIGHT of Cassiopeia and look a little higher. This is simply the "radiant" (point of origin) of the meteors. May your skies be clear and your eyesight keen. UNLIKE mine...........
I agree with Flick 100%!
Now we need to define the ALLIED line of allowance on Market garden.
:-)
ROFLMAO Dink........I understand. I understand completely!
A question for the rules people: how far do the bases extend on Market Garden? Is anywhere north of the river considered the Axis main base? For that matter how far does the Allied base extend? Does it also include the roads that pass it on both the east and west sides? Does it end at the top of the hills above the church?
Monky is working on an actual Map of market garden the defines the lines for anyone with questions. It will end up being posted in the "Rules" section of the Forum so all players and especially new ones, can see it. I am pretty certain the Axis lines are completed and I am guessing the Allied line is not done yet but that can be better addressed by Monkey.
Its a VERY good question Captain and one that has needed defining for some time. Nice job!
Everyone should be helping these players...when one asked where something is...saying it's under their mom's bed is probably counter productive. tongue
I agree 100% with helping new players and I have often mentioned when "Newbies" are being harassed, that we are ALL newbies at one point or another. If we honestly welcome the new folks, show them what a blast this game and server are then we should keep this alive longer and with more enthusiasm for the future. PLUS,......new folks are a ton of fun to kill!

I remember McVeigh took the hit for the sinking and it was his second ship lost if I remember right too, however, there was a total breakdown in communications and logging in a late arrivals I believe in the Leyte Gulf. I thought Admiral Sprague had shaken off the late arrival and made no concerns when the ship was past the 24 hour mark too. I have the book somewhere and I think I shall re-read the story. It will break your heart..........
Well the THANKS was as genuine as it comes. There is no "wolf" coming from you that I have ever seen.
THANKS Taffy and janet for the info and the suggestion of the book. I am going to find it and take it with me on vacation in a few weeks.
Was Admiral Sprague the one whom was faulted in the USS Indinapolis sinking for the communication issue and the lack of knowledge for being unnoticed after missing expected arrival timing???
Those two were on earlier in the evening with the same map Capt. We were told by players they were tking each other and when we went to take action they were auto kicked. I don't remember they came back in. We were also doing some Admin learning and sharing at that map and did not have 100% attention to the game. I apologize if we missed taking the correct action earlier and allowed the village idiots to bring chaos into the game. Will absolutely keep eyes on them closely and again Capt, THANKS for the alerts in the game and at this Forum.
I would love to give that map a try too Dink. It sounds like it adds a whole new dimension to the game.
Ice is a very good player, one of the best here and tactically very very good as well. He is also wicked smart. After the meeting I believed we are all on the same page that Admins will not be denigrated and insulted in the game. TS is cool but the game is not. Players need to bring their issues to the Forum especially when it is a confrontation with an Admin regardless of who is right or wrong. We all agreed to warn, (unless the player is a regular and knows the rules) kick then ban if the situation did not change. I hope this works out in the end and everyone walks away understanding and holding the respect where it is visible to the players, in the game. Most of the regulars simply want to play and play hard here. Lets maintain that reputation for the regulars and in this process it will invite the new folks to want to come to Simple too. The Server has been growing the last 2 months it seems. The logs look like the process was followed to the letter if I am seeing it right. Lets hope it works out well in the end!!!! We should all be able to have a blast here.
:-)
Played with you this weekend Catpain and again last evening. I see you as a good player and was fun to be on your team and opposing you. Nice job by the way at Midway yesterday! Personally i see it as help not complaining. Thanks for the in game mentions.
Pleiades
You are 100% right!
More thanks than I can type. And Kudos to the efforts, energy, open format AND confirmation of so many questionable topics.
This eve was a complete winner!!!

You wont be confused after today sir.

Being banned for a single day (24 hours) is pretty miniscule and seems to have taught the lesson very well for jezzy. Its simple. jezzy apologizes and understands AND is back the next day. Life is good.
I know this rule about taxi trip to planes is very simple and easy to comprehend here. What is not so simple, is learning and agreeing as Admins, on which rules we will enforce and if everyone, regardless who they may be, are to adhere to the same rules and results. I am trying to figure this out myself and in all honesty, cannot understand, what there even is to figure out except "protocol" which seems to be a fork in the road.
As for the taxi portion, Winston and Capt Blackadder seem to explain it clear for my old eyes. I cant see any negative.
Dayum Monkey,,,,,where DO you find this stuff?????
ROFLMAO
And I THANK you for the offer and take it with a SMILE!

The lessons in this thread are pretty valuable to other folks banned, temporary or permanent and for players to learn the process as well. Also as a firm believer in "Trust is earned not given" I vote the thread remains open even if it is only for reference. Just my 2 cents worth. Thanks for the second penny Monky.
Huge thanks for the ftk reminder which I have only recently learned. There are times the tk is entirely unintentional, spawning directly in front of a moving jeep/tank etc. And once in a great while the ptk too....
THATS the way to look at things BoS! **Tips the hat again** Look forward to FUN and killing on the Battlefield. See ya there soon!!! And you bet your keister I will be smiling when I am playing. Yee haw!!!!!! lmao <Got a feeling Monky has a photo for this one too..................>

BoS I look for the good where it lives. I have already lived a life in the shit so I look for better. I see this issue likely to work out just fine, even if it is not as smooth as some might wish. In the end, the path still comes to the same place. A good ending. That is as long as things are indeed upfront. I dont think you know the entire situation BoS but I do know when any human, Admin or not, apologizes in any level, I see the good. It takes juevos to do that on a public Forum.
The offer for TS is one where the conversation can be spoken immediately, as the issue occurs. Makes life a whole bunch easier. If the person does not have TS, it makes sense to bring the entire issue here. (The Forum) If one HAS TS, where could there POSSIBLY be a problem???? I see only good, even if it appears antagonistic. I know it is not in my heart. Not that there is much heart left in this old body.
Find the good BoS. Its there if you look. Your exact situation is an example. You made your way back here after a ban yourself. This server is run by a private individual and it is a blessing to be able to play here. its NOT a "right" as some think. All players are welcome to start their own server and have any such rules they wish and run it as they please. I have yet to find a better place to play than at simple USA and France. Play hard, fun, fast and furious. Kill well and enjoy the show. Then smile at the fun you have here. I do. And I know others do too.

I tip my hat to Flick for the testicular fortitude of a straight and OPEN apology and admission that he, like me and everyone else, is human and can possibly make a mistake. There are times when we are positive of a cheater or hack and times its uncertain but seems so, that a decision is made and the decision is for the general good and fun play we all seek. This is the perfect case of the intention of the Forum in this menu and the end result is respect. When you get back on Bri just keep playing hard, fast, fun and friendly and you will certainly become respected and known here too. And you are always welcome on TS even if there is no issue to discuss. Join for the shits and giggles of the room if you wish.
Way to go Flick and a nice example of consideration. Next time I get behind you, I might give you a few steps (out of respect) before I kill you. :-)
Oh Monky getting my upside down KDRs on video will solidify my reputation here.
I really need the boost.
*looking for the shovel*
**Giggling with tears** PipeR lappy. {We are talking LAPTOP I think......... roflmsao}

Next time you are playing with "Fly Boobs" Russ you can ask him!! I did because,.......i just HAD to...........
Better get it from the source than second hand from me.
it will give ya a giggle too.

Awesome aqualung, now can someone explain this person's handle to me?
EXCELLENT Winston! Now I may have a chance to finally beat you on the Battlefield.
YES!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, they have lots of little indoor shooting galleries all around the tourist district. You can literally go in off the street, pay $25 and start shooting. I chose the $55 package where I fired three guns. I've never fired a handgun before but apparently I am a good shot! So from now on I'm changing to pistol on BF.
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution is not written to protect yourselves in your own home. When the framers of the Constitution wrote this Amendment it was with great consideration of the future of this Country. (Michael Moore is not of the level of intelligence of the framers here in the USA. Most of us consider him to be a dork) The intent of the Second Amendment is to allow the citizenry of this Country access to weapons for the purpose of defending against a tyrannical government, NOT self protection from Mr. Bad Guy. The lessons learned from English rule here in America from over seas, and how a Government of the People, by the People and for the People necessitated this Amendment to ensure their vision for the Country and its growth would succeed. Private Militias (Minutemen where I live) are supported by this Amendment.
Most Americans do not even know their own Constitution and it pisses me off how few even understand the purpose of this Amendment. It has NOTHING to do with protecting your family or self in your home. That right is understood by all civilized humans, not given by the Government. Perhaps everyone her in the USA should READ the Amendment!!!
We have lots of places here in the US where you can sleep at night and not lock your doors. Come to think of it, its pretty darned rare I lock my own at night. However where I was born in Trenton New Jersey, the doors AND windows were locked every night.
To address the value of thwarting crime with defensive weapons, (guns either open carry or concealed) see below. Yes I know most articles are agenda driven but if you were to GOOGLE the topic, you will find many links. Both Pro and Con. (and a TON of propaganda as Nameless had said in an earlier post. So right you are there even if it was not about this topic. Propaganda is so powerful!!!) Use common sense as in all topics to interpret the truth if possible. I own guns and most of my friends and associates do as well. None of us have ever been injured or have killed anyone else. I do not fear guns when I see them on a person any more than I fear that individual person. I do however know that flashing ownership and possession of a gun, when a low life piece of shit is looking to take advantage of a situation is very quickly halted when the gun is seen by the dypshyt at least on two occasions in my life. Funny how an opportunist sees the opportunity is not as easy as it may have initially appeared. ALL of the opinions in my post are simply that. An opinion. The Constitution is written.
Winston buddy, wished the USA was like New Zealand too but,............its not.
Dayum Dink, I could employ you for linguistic and language interpretation Czar!!
I bow to your command of the language!
Way to go.
Gives a PLUS 1 to you both!
OOps......sorry can't but the intent was there!
THAT was some cool stuff to learn seventy!
Thanks for the research and efforts.
