Blades Posted July 9, 2000 Report Posted July 9, 2000 I prefer the term 'Dedicated Fan Base' myself. But hey ho, fools will be fools.
Guest aramike01 Posted July 9, 2000 Report Posted July 9, 2000 It's amazing how they'd term us as such a thing, yet they flame everyone with a differing opinion. Sounds to me like the we're not the one's to be called a cult. Although I must say, I'd find it rather unfair to categorize them all as fools. Only a select few seem to be akin to spouting off at the mouth.------------------ Cmdr.

Blades Posted July 9, 2000 Report Posted July 9, 2000 Well, I wasnt addressing all of them. Just the usual suspects.
Guest aramike01 Posted July 9, 2000 Report Posted July 9, 2000 Actually, Blades, I just wrote the latter half of that post so they'd have something to leave out when they quote me. ------------------ Cmdr.

Guest aramike01 Posted July 10, 2000 Report Posted July 10, 2000 Seriously now, I'm just tired of those guys constantly talking their unfounded trash about BC3K, it's designer, and it's fans. There's no need for that. The problem that comes from such detraction is the fact that others who've had no experience with BC3K one way or another, suffer because they don't know what to think other than the negativity expressed to them. I'm just trying to point out to that particular group of gamers that this is a great game that others would go so far as to give false info about just to discourage one's playing of it.------------------ Cmdr.

Eclipse Posted July 10, 2000 Report Posted July 10, 2000 He pulled me into this.... he pulled ME into this.

Whisper Posted July 10, 2000 Report Posted July 10, 2000 I have a theory. I've visted many other message boards to many other games, ironicly most of which I have never played. This, I beleive, gives me an intresting angle on the whole "board trash " stuff. This board right here, the BC3K, has unarguably the most civil, respectful, intelligent, and down right pleaseant "core" psoters, those who make numerous posts and have a reputation. Every single other game-specific message board on Earth (correct me, please, if I am wrong), seems to be the lurking hole for some of the vilest and stupid people with Internet access. And, also gleaned from my observations, this is because the BC3K board has sensoring on the order of millitary dictatorships. Folks are banned or suspended with what seems like wild abandon, while other boards are much more, democratic, in what they let folks say. But I'm not complaining! If Smart and company did NOT do this, well...the other result would can be found at the head of this topic! It is most certainly a GOOD thing, especially considering that the Battlecruiser series has a bad track record (sorry to bring up old wounds). I have sadly talked to the sort of gamers who grab every new title off the shelves, and BC3K v1.00 was, as we all know, not off the shelf. These folks, after thier extreme displeaser at the playability of the game before them, swore never again to pay a passing intrest to anything with the word "Battlecruiser" in the title. I said the above because it shows just how more this board has to overcome in the way of public opinion. All the other games (sorry) worked on thier first release, and yet they still have, well, THAT!, on the game's board. Just think what this would be like! Hateful people with lots of time and no brains would be pouring in here, complaining about how the game crashes every other second, and all the folks who play what was supposed to be played, after all the patches, bash the fools who just can't shut up! Hooray for the heavy hand of Derek Smart! And as for the cult thing...let's admit it, folks. As gamers go, we're the more, er, fanatical of the bunch. I think it makes sense, since most people who post here seem to have found a title that does everything they've ever wanted out of a game (and more to come!). We have a gosh darn RIGHT to be fanatic! And perhaps we are a cult. BC3K appeals to a very specific type of gamer, and something that appeals to such a small community will undoubtably garner all that more a devout "following". I read those posts from angry little men in angry little skulls, and I laugh! They throw words, and insults, and names at us, and they think they're being insulting! Hoohoo! That a good one! Anything they say is either blantantly false, or a compliment! At first I was put off by these nervous and insecure ramblings, but now I see them as one big, outrageous joke! They provide the set-ups and punchlines, and I'll just have a grand old belly-laugh! Look how upset they get! Over a thing that to its very core was meant to provide fun! Silly people! Aramike: I am not refering to you. Scratch that, I am a little. I look at your posts in the above two topics, and you seemed to get a lttle steamed. Why? Are they wrong? Of course! You know that! So have fun with it, put on a spin! Maybe even provoke them a little, see if you can make them spout even sillier jibberish! Have them condem themselfs in thier own words, make them look like fools! A tall order, perhaps, since they seem to be doing so well on thier own. To all: I'd hate to see this turn into an all-out board war, ya know? Let's show how better we are than those fellows, and restrict this hostility to one little thread. A possible cancer is developing, and I beseech that we confine this little growth of hate and foolishness, so that this unique community of gamers stays unique, and not fall into the sorry slush that the others roll in. ------------------ Commander David "Whisper" Liev *Fighter Commander Sationed, Wraith HQ "The underestimated weapon will deal overestimated havoc."

No, seriously, you have a point. We don't want it to break into outright hostilities (heh, kinda late for that methinks so, I think its over with. I should've known better, but I just never have been able to sit idly by while some pussfaced punk trashes my life's work with nary a hint of factual data.

During that time, I took incredible solace in making those morons look like, well, morons.
