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.

Hey Dink, 
  I sure do hope you are WRONG about some clandestine deal being made to prevent damage to the site. That would taste like dog shit if it was actually true and the message sent would be even darker. If the same situation happens again when I am there, let me know and THIS time I will do what I can immediately. It may not work but the attempt will be genuine! I believe tuia would want this person gone forever!
  I cant answer for the knickers line but i WILL bet my paycheck if that Admin is on when the perp is present, and the situation is understood, the wacko will be banned by that Admin. I have PURE faith in them. And I will do my best to keep up with that person too so if he is there when you are not, one of the Admins can permaban as soon as the fugly face appears. I believe we all would do the same action.
  I would like someone with remote server access to see if that player has multiple names as I suspect they do. Can anyone check into this player and if there are more names used so we can prevent more shutdowns and childish behavior here? I will write down the names and at least TRY to keep the old "open eye syndrome". And we can speak on TS if they show up. THAT should help.
Looking for: Hiriya and more aliases

Hope we catch you playing soon skipfish! Welcome and enjoy this server!

#820 Re: Report Abuse » Hacker and TKer » 2015-06-29 15:52:43

Perhaps the slow or no response to the reporting can be addressed as such. I know there has been a lot of difficulty getting the Forums back up and the server issues in LA server and the lag issues and it seems ALL at once I might add. Cant be easy to tackle all these and get 100% right but this is above my pay grade. I know a number of weeks ago I was with you Dink on Stalingrad I believe when you asked me to ban someone hacking your server and causing problems at Simple USA server. I did not ban that player because I did not have remote access and I could not see him do anything wrong when I shadowed him. I even PMed you with an apology for not banning him. (I found out later you were 100% right about the piece of trash) I did PM other admin to verify what I should have done and again, without access to know this yack was worth banning, its a very difficult choice. Today,....I wish I had banned him. If it would have been a mistake, one never hears the end of "Power Trip" syndrome which you are well aware.
  In the end, its about ALL of the Admins and players here, whom put in their own time and efforts to try (Key word = TRY) and make this server the best there is and the most wanted place to play. Its is not perfect but the intent from pretty much EVERY Admin I see and know on the USA server, is to find that Battlefield Utopia and make it work. I will likely make more mistakes than others here but I can tell you I don't think there is a single Admin here that is on a power trip. It just doesn't fit the food a power monger needs to bolster a warped sense of value. The value that my penis is bigger therefore I ban thee. Or kick thee. The power is used for improving the game for the players AND the Admins that simply want to play this game as it is meant to be played.
  We cant make this place perfect yet but I believe that is what folks and Admins want. Sorry we missed a complete vermin of vomit with that Hiriya player but hopefully he will get his permanent ban in the end. And your reporting will not be in vain but appreciated. And hopefully we can improve the ability to eliminate such pieces of **** from avoiding bans or kicks in the future. Its a work in progress at least for me and I thank everyone whom has been patient with me AND for all those that have HELPED me here. I have a lot of folks to thank!
  Even with all the things going on at Simple, I consider it an honor to play here and know we have some great players whom are regulars and some EXCELLENT Admins, regardless of the things we need to improve. I do NOT believe we need to improve the Power Trip issue because i do not believe there IS such an issue at USA server with the Admins. I sure do hope we can find a solution to those that really screw up this system, and to those especially that find crashing servers and such. Its pretty sad in reality that causing chaos is found to be enjoyable. And I thought my life was benign...................

#821 Re: Feedback » TK autokick threshold (Simple USA) » 2015-06-29 15:08:55

Ships, artillery, Def Guns, even nades blindly thrown are almost entirely avoidable for tks by simply knowing who is there or by not firing until you do know. Ask any artillery group member whom served in WWII and the answer is blind is dangerous.
  In the end, its only a kick here so the end result of the tks is not very damaging at all. But the change in play can make a difference upon return. Improving the concept of team play. Just my 1 cents worth.

#826 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Accidental TK » 2015-06-26 16:36:26

One more time Flick.....THANKS for clarifying the 3 kicks in 24 hours (server auto kick) will equal a permanent ban.
Demonman, perhaps you can try to request unban in a short time and be granted access again. If this does happen pay careful attention to your mini-map when you play. Know where your team mates are and firing blind with artillery is not such a good idea either gaming or in real life. People get pissed. Or Dead. Or both. I hate being dead and pissed.
If you are granted access again and repeat this type of play, I believe all of the players would prefer you remain banned. Forever.
  Play hard, play smart, play for fun and play by the rules. Its just great to be playing!

#828 Re: Technical Help » Data differs from server » 2015-06-26 15:02:57

I had the same exact issue last week with a new computer and was directed by a Member here, to Gamespy for two downloads to patch me in. Its works fine now and I wish we had the two patches prominent on our downloads section. PM me for the Member whom helped me and I may be able to get you more help. I will NOT give out the member name (respect for anonymous) but I may be able to get a copy of the links to you.
Hope to see you playing here and soon! Hang in there Pink Panther!!!!!
Is it possible tuia we can have the link(s) on the downloads page with an explanation "For data differs from Server use this link" denoted in the description to help folks like me who know little about computers but kept on trying?
