Rattler

I believe that we, once upon a time, established some governing rules and regulations for the Insurgency. I'll have to drag through my archives this weekend and see if I can recover them. I know that Akira had them on his website but, like myself, had our sites disbanded/trashed by the webmasters of those sites when they no longer provided free webspace. As I remember it, Galcom "Men of War" vessels were fair game and were to be engaged at every opportunity if it did not needlessly sacrifice your crew and vessel. Galcom Supply Vessels were fair game also. Independent Traders and Med Vessels were NOT to be attacked due to the possibility of taking Innocent Lives. That's not our goal. Pirating is not our goal either. Actually, overthrowing GALCOM is NOT our primary goal either. Our goal is to cause the demise of the Iron Fisted Masters that GALCOM obediently serves. Unfortunately, to accomplish this, GALCOM must be systematically dismantled as well. So, We go after ALL GALCOM Assets with the intent to remove the security blanket that the UFN enjoys. Hope this clears things up a little bit.

Sho, You take Cmdr. Todd J. Skowronski,.....and You, Pirate, Please show Cmmdr. Khelben Drachenfels around Spectre Fleet if you have the time.

I think the phrase "domination of the Insurgency" might be wrong here, unless I'm taking it out of context. Would you possibly mean the "Superiority of the Insurgency?" There are those out there who would like to "Dominate" the Insurgency but, to those I most issue the challenge of "If you Talk the Talk, can you also Walk the Walk?" Are you on the roster as a potential Insurgent? If not, go there NOW and make your entries. Sho, If no one shows up to claim him within 24 hours, take him in as one of YOURS!

A Belated HBD from Uncle Rattler as well. Sorry I'm late guys but you know how we OLD people are.....Slow and Forgetful sometimes!

Ok, Ladies and Gents, We need to know who are still active here and count the number of those missing in action. I've seen numerous Fleet Commanders holding Roll Calls in the past with "not so impressive" results. Thusly, I'm asking all Insurgents out there to log in here and answer the call. I know that Derek is feverously working on the Multiplayer edition and somebody is going to have to be his test base. Why not US? So, "Stand Up and Be Counted, Insurgents!"

'Tis nice to once again be in the midst of Friends! I have to tell you though, this last scouting expedition really sucked. I'm too old for tents and cots! I'll be checking in more often now that I'm back. Thanks for the welcome back thread, I'm proud to be called an Insurgent! SALUTE! [ 03-08-2002, 08:25: Message edited by: Rattler ]

Go See Akira, and tell him Rattler sent ya'.

The "Official" response, when asked of ANY US Sailor serving aboard Cariers should, and always WILL be "I cannot confirm NOR deny the presence of Nuclear Weapons aboard United States Combatants!" We agreed to tailor down our arsenal of Nuclear Arms, not disband our capabilities. Let's put it in a way that I think you can get the underlying meanings. If I were a Tactical Commander in theatre, I wouldn't leave home without that American Express Card. Would YOU? And Tactical Nukes aren't carried aboard SSBN's for the record. Them babies are Strategic. Now where and who would carry the smaller, Tactical versions? You be the judge. "Uncle Rattler"

Aaa-Hem!!! "Uncle Rattler" doesn't always have time, specifically these latter days, doing what he loves doing. I'd spend every waking moment here on the forum helping the newbies and keeping the "Oldies" in line as well. Sorry SC, I've been negligent in this effort. I do, however, venture up here and stay in touch. I guess that makes me kinda worthless at the moment. For that I deeply appologize. I can't change the current situation, although I would in a minute if it were in my power. Glad the SC had the forethought to split Insurgency into multiple fleets and allow us to have separate Fleet Leaders. Now gentlemen, more than ever, Your Fleets need you. I'm just a figure head these days. You Lead your Fleets, so, "Lead, Follow, or Get the Hell Out'ta the Way!". 'Nuff Said!

Congrats Sho! When Akira presented me with this idea, I knew he had the right man for the job. Ladies and Gentlemen, Hoist a glass of your favorite refreshment in honor of this prestegous event. Long Live The Insurgency! [ 09-12-2001: Message edited by: Rattler ]

I've heard of it, and currently play it! Kick-Butt game IMHO! It has its place, just like BC3K and BCM. All are niche games with dedicated fan bases. Personally, Things really got good in Xtension with the release of 2.0 and 2.1, again IMHO. I'll keep playing all 3 of these games because they ALL, in their own way, bring me both joy and agony! You won't know one without experiencing the other!

Twenty Mule Team, Chavik! That or Pony Express! (RP) And just what the !!@$@#@#$ is this Commie doing posting on this Insurgent Thread? Somebody's got some 'xplainin' to do! Take a short vacation and look what happens! Anarchy I tells Ya! (/RP) And before I forget, AGAIN, Welcome Aboard Menchise! The Insurgency needs good men! [ 06-04-2001: Message edited by: Rattler ]

O.K. Who left the door open and the rif-raf in? All this bantering back and forth gets absolutely nowhere. Final Solution, wait'll we go online and settle it like true commanders.

**Yawn** Somebody told me that I should get home! Well, Here I am Crew. I also want to, once again, wish Pioneer a hearty "Welcome Aboard". I presume that someone has shown him where to park that star voyager and where the mess line starts. Now, who's got the latest plan on killing lemmings? [ 04-09-2001: Message edited by: Rattler ]

Have no fear Gang. I'm still around, just can't say where at the moment. Akira's right. Things are a bit hectic on this end and time is a precious commodoty. No Fear though, "Uncle Rattler's" still out here watching.....and waiting! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester, Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

OK Gents. I've seen someone asking for flight sticks that work! I personally am attempting to program my Cyborg 3D Gold Stick to accomodate Twist rolls and the throttle already works. Now if I can get some of you PROFESSIONAL Stick Grinders out ther to get to work on your stick models, we can gather them in one place and share with the rest of the BC Community. What ya think Guys and Gals?

Welcome Aboard Pugwash!

Welcome Pioneer, welcome to the Insurgency! So, Who's the lucky Fleet Commander with this new recruit? ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester, Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

Some of the things that you are asking WOULD be in violation of NDA to answer, unless the SC comes out with the info. One thing though. BC3K utilizes 3D in Bridge View but utilizes 2D in all other views I think. Back when I was running a 2D card and an Add On 3dfx card, I'd get lockups and errors because my refresh rates were mismatched between the two cards. I make my assumption (bad work, I know) based upon these lock-ups. If I'm wrong, somebody jump in and correct me, quickly! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester, Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

One of the "Old Timers" brought this thread to my attention. He deleted the posting, but saved it prior to explain to me what he's done and why he has done it. To say the least, I'm not a happy camper! Kurt, You asked to have your account deleted. So be it! Hell, I'd have done it without you asking! You already did that with the post. You've been around long enough to understand what happens in situations like this. Sure the SC's a little rough at times, we all are! Funny thing though, He'll ream you one second and slap you on the back the next. He's always been that way and I hope he always will be that way. He's here to produce a product, a damned fine one at that! He's also here to support that product long after the other game developers have washed their hands of their junk and conned some other company into putting out another piece of their trash! Derek Smart has never dodged a commitment and he's never failed to support what he believes in, be that his game, his team, or his fan base. We in turn OWE him that same loyalty in return. Roll with the punches, they aren't that hard. Those are love taps, and if he didn't give them from time to time this place could be totally out of control. Don't think so? Go to another BB and check them out. " 'Nuff Said! " Uncle Rattler

Go here! http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap001127.html There's a set-up there that allows you to select the specifics of the pic that you want; ie; compressed or not, size of the pic, etc. Very good site. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester, Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "You can only love or hate something you truly understand" [This message has been edited by Rattler (edited 02-24-2001).]

Now Ben, I only made a complimentary post on the other threads. Now you've gone and attacked us on our Home Forum. (RP) Genlemen, Let the Games Begin!
