Ice Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 No doubt you would think that ICE. Especially when YOU are the one making a profit out of the community. :thumbup: If you think I sell copies of Flaming Cliffs to make money you need your head read. Any small amounts of profit made go directly towards the running of the server. And I promise you Ive spent $1000's to keep a server going.
G3 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 i hope i am not off centre here but: politics aside: i say well done to a community member who also makes it easy for people, potential squad mates, to aquire a title that is difficult to obtain locally. some people are still scared of buying online etc, a local option is good in my eyes, no waiting weeks or large downloads, only a couple la days. seems like we a bitching on a thread where a guy is promoting sales.:music_whistling: maybe a reply from a past happy customer instead, i bet the guy who scored the trackir was cheering :thumbup:
Ice Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I am confident that the general community is wise enough to see that its the same handful of people. Namely a few 3sqn members. only a few thankfully and a couple of other Cling-Ons who cant keep a private matter private. Keep throwing the mudd fellas. Its only going to end up on your own faces in the end.
Weta43 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 FC is NZ $50 from vrconcepts.co.nz ( an online gaming store here) add on only. AU $50 doesn't seem that far over the odds considering he's probably getting it retail to sell on... Cheers.

Its only going to end up on your own faces in the end. ORLY. Anyways, on topic. I can see things being expensive in OZ, no matter where you get it from its gotta be shipped over seas. Still, I got a copy of Gold from England, and it cost me like $16 total. I personally would look for alternatives if I was in the situation.
Ice Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Hey Prophet. Jusy in case you havent noticed. This is a PUBLIC Forum :music_whistling:
Guest hyperdallas Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 There arent many communities that get behind its participants like this one does. Keep in mind that what is done around here is done for enjoyment, and it isnt a right. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and the right to express it, but one must learn when is the most appropriate time to express that and when is not. I think you need to stop your chatter, and make the decision. Either buy it or you dont. By all means price check, but dont bring your decision making processes in here. We have all supported this great community by getting behind those who deliver it to our desktops without question. Those who do so dont do it to make profit, rather to deliver the enjoyment which is the sim. Coming in here doing whats been done will only achieve the following: a) make you disliked in the community b) put you in a position where no one will fly with you Either way, we dont deserve nor want to hear what you have to say.
169th_Bat Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 What I really can't get my head around is the fact that a minority of individuals always seem to be attacking Ice. Why do you continue to do this. For **** sake guys its a ****in game. If you do a search on Ice's previous post these guys always seem to crop up. Why? When the real issue is to do with someone else. Come on lads I have flown with a few of you and I can't believe you are doing this. Rugg: I can not understand why you are getting involved in all of this. I didn't realise that Ice had offended you in the past. Has he? The reason why I ask this is that the other guys were all ex members of 169th. But you I just can't understand it. I really do think we need to start calming down, because this is just not healthy for the community. Constructive criticism would be appreciated.

Anytime Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I'm with Bat, I haven't flown for ages due to being OS but every time Ice posts it's quickly followed by a barrage. Not sure what the aim is but 169th has been around since day dot and Ice and crew, including ex members, having given a lot to the community, the only outcome will be the squad will shut down and the server lost. C'mon relax and breath, we love you all. :chair: Take it easy, AT. Constructive critisism would be appreciated.

Prophet Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 No one has that intention, all though you guys have expressed that many times. It just seems that if someone expresses an opinion otherwise, its gotta turn into an issue. The only reason people jumped on it, was because all I said was thats a hefty price. What I dont have a right to an opinion now?, and Ice had to perceive that as another attack. If people would quite acting as victims, it wouldnt turn into an issue as it has.
Pilotasso Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 :lookaround: Hate to see this, seeing good friends attacking each others sends the shivers down my spine and I fear for the future of this community. Nothing good will be achieved by this. I take no side because simply theres none to be taken. :v: :love: :rolleyes: .

Nothing good will be achieved by this. I take no side because simply theres none to be taken. :lookaround: :love: Well to be honest I do try to take an impartial view of this. But I have to say that Ice puts alot of time, effort and money into the community. This can be seen with the new server. Prophet: I never did say you were not entitled to an opinion. Most of us live in a democratic society, its just that certain individuals jump on the "Band Wagon" mate and it seems to be the same people all the time.

The respect you have in the 169th is second to none due to your flyin exploits. But unfortunately some people just seem hell bent on giving Ice $hit all the time. I really can't understand why. Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but this is an issue about one person, as all this seems to have started because one person was banned. This can be confirmed as it was mentioned by Rugg earlier in the post. BUT the banned individual doesn't say or mention anything. Why is this I ask myself? I`ll tell you why because he is mature enough not to let it bother him and he has moved on. So why do people keep going on about it? Beyond me gents. Just doesn't seem right over something that is really nif, naf and trivia. So that begs the question as to why these individuals are continuing to give Ice a hard time?

Prophet Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 The only reason it turned into an issue was because of Ice's comment, "or is this another chance for an attack". Or "some 3Sqn members" No one has the intention of having a war, in fact just the opposite, if you happen to recall. Anyways, guess its just not PC to be having a conversation with you folk these days.

Yet another derogatory remark. Why? It just seems very strange that when Ice posts a comment certain individuals pop up out the blue.

Prophet Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 See what I mean. Nothing derogatory, yet it has to be turned that way. Guess I will just have to leave you lot alone.
169th_Bat Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 See what I mean. Nothing derogatory, yet it has to be turned that way. Guess I will just have to leave you lot alone. Maybe derogatory isn't the right word how about infantile then? Prophet I don't want to fall out with you mate I've flown with you before and you have done me no wrong. I just can not understand why individuals keep having a go at Ice? Just doesn't seem to make sense. Anyway you are avoiding the question my friend. Why is it not PC to talk to us guys anymore? How has it turned that way? Not from this callsign. I want to keep this debate on friendly terms.

Prophet Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Because every comment is turned into the same thing..... Like I said infantile? So was Ices comment about me attacking him. I wasnt, I just thought it was a hefty price. So like I said, obviously not PC for me to make comments to you guys, always seems to start a war.
Prophet Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 You can hardly blame him for that eh? Just look at previous posts. That comment can be made both ways.
Anytime Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 AMRAAMS and 30 paces :) Sounds like a good H2H battle is needed. Because every comment is turned into the same thing..... Like I said infantile? So was Ices comment about me attacking him. I wasnt, I just thought it was a hefty price. So like I said, obviously not PC for me to make comments to you guys, always seems to start a war.
Prophet Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 We proposed that, and it wasnt recieved well. Supposedly we had alterior motives. Because we all know this game is not about having fun...... O.o
