Rats leaving a sinking ship

[Wolferz]

Greetings fellow sea dogs.

Well, it seems that Ubisoft has finally become sick of us Silent Hunters loitering in their waters and they have raised the ugly side of communism by declaring imminent domain on any and all content posted to their forums in exchange for posting priviledges. It sticks in my craw and I wave goodbye to the good folks at Ubisoft and drop anchor here looking for new and old friends.
Is it just me or has Ubisoft sunk to a new low in their battle against software pirates by becoming pirates themselves?:arrgh!:
Well, you know what they say...
"That which you hate the most you become":|\\
Au Revoir Ubisloth.

[captgeo]

Hello wolf:yeah:

I see you finally left the "dark side".

welcome to subsim old friend.

[fireftr18]

Wolferz, so many on here are came from the dark side, I didn't notice you weren't posting on here. You'll love it here. Be the way, I've been assigning tasks to new people on here. Since I already know you, I have a special one just for you...

Captain VonTrapp wants a new XO, I think you'll do very well.

Collecting my data :har::har: Sure.........

Anyway, glad to see you back here mate, this is the place to be. If you want to get the SS contest back going, let me know.

Pull up a chair. Sailor Steve will be along shortly to get your drink order.

[Wolferz]

Thanks Steve. as you can tell I've been a lurker around here for quite some time. With the SS Ubi sinking from a self inflicted wound, it was time to find a more stable ship to drop my sea bag upon.

:Kaleun_Party:
Gather round gents and assist me with draining this case of champagne that Steve brought.

[paulhager]

I seem to have found the SimSim forum for SH4.

I'll just toss in that I completed 2nd Patrol of career that began in late May 1942. In the first Patrol, sank a Hiryu CV.

In this Patrol, had to hit a couple of PZs in the Aleutians. After that, had time to get to Guadalcanal in time for Savo Island on 9 August. In transit sank a 5,000 ton merchant. At Savo, sank a Takao CA.

Slowly worked my way north and intercepted IJN TF on 22 August. Detected around 1330 base time during a sonar check. Got into position - was able to get of a TF report. Had to penetrate the outer screen which proved easy because of the sea state. Went to P-depth and saw an approaching Shokaku CV around 4,500 yards away - speed 16. I was about 1,200 yards off the track, well positioned for a 10 torpedo salvo. I wanted to make sure that I sank this baby.

Kept popped scope up to refine solution then downing it again. On last look, tweaked the solution and let fly. Dived the boat - was crossing 120' when the first torpedo hit. Out of the 10, there were 4 misses, 4 hits, and 2 duds. Somewhat sloppy but acceptable.

Made it back to Midway with 3 objectives and 46,000 tons.

Before embarking on Patrol 3, I decided to start a German career. I wonder if the reinstall will have corrected the German TDC bug...

[Armistead]

Good to see you Paul.........

[magic452]

I see that I'm not the only one that gave up on UBI.
Their new format really sucks and now this. I stayed because there were some good folks there but I see most of them are finding their way to the best forum anywhere. :yeah::yeah:

Magic

[Wolferz]

Welcome to the "new" boat Paul and Magic. It's good to see you.:Kaleun_Salute:

[fireftr18]

Welcome aboard Paul and Magic. I have a special job for the tow of you. We need to check the sonar. One needs to give a test count into the hydrophone, and the other needs to listen to make sure pinging is getting out. The regular sonar crew will listen inside.

I see you're once again trying to pass off the jobs I give you on others, the sign of a good upcoming officer. However, I have one problem. I told you to wire brush and paint my sub, fairly nice job, but I don't like the flames painted on the side, redo ASAP. Don't forget storing my special cargo in my cabin under my bunk.

First you don't like the pink primer, now you don't like the flames. The bright orange and yellow flames against the flat black is just too cool. I worked too hard on it. I'm not changing it. :|\\

Need to change this thread to the

[Wolferz]

:up:The forced transfers are almost complete. We're still waiting on Donna and RealeOldPhart. Could somebody board that garbage barge and remind them that they're AWOL?

If we get a few more I'll consider reinstatement of the screenshot Competition. The shots should look really nice over here without all that border clutter and downsizing.:up:

[Nisgeis]

What did they do to the Ubi forums? Last time I was there was ages ago and they'd made the search function almost useless. What did they do this time?

Welcome aboard to the new arrivals! :sunny:

New forum software with severely restrictive size limits on posted screen shots. (killed the screen shot competition)
Plastered their crap ads in the borders, effectively squeezing the posting space into microtype territory.
And last but not least... the straw that broke the camels back...
A new "check these radio buttons" screen when logging in labeled with some absurd demands claiming immenent domain on content and collection of data about the members in exchange for posting priveleges. Not mandatory yet, but likely will be soon.
Known in some circles as Cranial Rectal Syndrome.
So, now not only does Ubi steal your money in exchange for a lease on their garbage software that never gets fixed, they want to steal the hard work of the modders who fix their junk and help their games sell.

Kind of like Facebook.:down:

When the game, and thus the forum was new, it was just about like this one. A lot of good people learning from each other and helping the new people. There was a lot of friendly joking with each other and simply an enjoyable place. Then UBI changed the format and it made some things such as posting a screen shot a little difficult, but still doable. Then they changed it again to how Wolferz described. One thing he left out was a rediculous sensoring software that blanks out parts of words (ex: button became ****on). And yes, it is that restrictive. Then the latest new requirement that Wolferz described.

Once upon a time there was a fair few of us over there but repeated wringings of the dish rag kind of dried it up in recent years.
In addition many came here too, even then.

The welcome is appreciated now that I have elevated myself from lurker status to full blown PITA:rock:

Ok boys. Just park that credenza against yon wall and put my lazy boy right beside it.

Welcome to you all...I left the Ubizoo about three years ago after a couple of mates 'dropped' their moderator status and things just went downhill that much quicker shortly thereafter.

[Wolferz]

Thanks for the welcome Jimbuna.
You know you're there when the COB shows up and busts your chops for your unkempt haircut.:smug:

Who were those Moderator mates if I may ask? JR? KLCarroll? My good friend Tambor198?

For me it all went sour when they sent in those clueless Community managers that had never set foot on a boat, much less the sim and they acted like they knew what was going on. Making all manner of promises to the community that they had no intention, authorizaton or approval from the Ubisuits of keeping.
I'd wager that they were disillusioned quicker than a New York minute when the Ubisuits told them to Siddown and shaddup.:nope:

Scalded dogs came to mind as fast as they retreated.

[Armistead]

The last year or two Ubi got down to the long time hard core members that mostly put up with crap because we enjoyed our tribe of friends. It wasn't the forum for me, I had a group that I enjoyed on a more personal level. We circled the wagons a few times, but the forum was dying, now with changes, it will be dead.

Still, I have been a member here { in good standing, much loved by all} for years.

Least we're all getting under one roof....I may even have to write a story about the exodus....

Never forget a certain eedjit over on Ubizoo (banned from this community as well as the Grey Wolves Lair and sorry no public naming here) who thought he could prod the COB with a stick away from SubSim....soon found out he was banned from three sites http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/whistle.gif

Every one gets a special job. Now get to the aft torpedo room to set up your bunk. We designated it as the "lady's cabin" so you're sharing with SheWolf. Since she has seniority on the boat, you get to keep it clean, and keep the aft head clean. Looks like Armistead came up with a job for you also. And if you keep complaining about getting jobs, I'll make you clean the engine room.

"SIR! Sewing Wild Oats SIR!:salute:

That was my actual response to the same question posed by the brigade commander in Basic Training, during the colonels' inspection.:88) I was a 33 year old buck private at the time.

[Sailor Steve]

Wrong...

Maybe you should go to sailor school. "Prow" can be used in place of "bow", but is much less common than it was in sailing ship days.

The Poop Deck is the officers' deck, above the captain's cabin on a sailing ship. The aft end of the ship is indeed the stern.

A portal is a doorway, usually a big one, commonly the entrance to a church. There are no portals on a ship, except perhaps the entrance to the grand ballroom on an ocean liner. The "little round window" is a porthole.

Knowing you both somewhat as the internet allows, I see a perfect love hate match. I'm just dying to see who will catch and spell check the other first....

Only MWolfe could misspell the word A.:rotfl2:

[Wolferz]

The prow is the forward most part of a ship's bow that cuts through the water. The prow is the part of the bow above the waterline. The terms prow and bow are often used interchangeably to describe the most forward part of a ship and its surrounding parts. In old naval parlance, the prow was the battery of guns placed in the fore gun-deck.


Since Submarines have torpedoe tubes in this area, the correct term would/could be prow.:know:

Yesterday I couldn't spell sub mah ree ner. Today I are one.:arrgh!:

We've been through this before, even a brand of humor must contain some humor, unless you like laughing at yourself. If I, after several years of knowing you don't get it, I doubt Steve will either. My fear is you two are so much like, that when Steve gets to know you, he won't like you at all.

Regarding myself, it's not about being funny or smart, it's about being right, although I do find myself smart and funny. You don't realize the simplicity of my stupidity came about at Ubi, often having to lower myself so I could understand and connect to the many stupid people there. I consider it my gift to humanity. Like Paul stated in the bible "when in Rome, act like a Roman."

Even I know "A/a" ain't a word, it's a letter, you can't misspell a letter, so I await your apology. Worse, you misspelled "spelln", eveyone knows speling ends with a g, so whoses
stoopid now?

However, thanks for the advice, I didn't know I could type in words soundings into the address bar and get more Angelina Joila images.

Since Submarines have torpedoe tubes in this area, the correct term would/could be prow.:know:
How do you figure that? In all the many sources I've read I've never seen the term used on a submarine. :dead:

Armistead my friend, you will never get my humor because it requires at least three neurons firing in sequence and a quark and a partridge in a pear tree. Spelling was spelled correctly "spellin" (sic)
The southern mind don't need all them letters to git the gist of a word.
Maybe you're secretly a transplanted yankee sent to spy on the folk in South Carolina.:down:

@ Steve, you are correct sir. There never has been or ever will be a submarine bow referred to as a prow. I was just messing with Captain Donna's feigned attitude.:O:

Well, since Steve doesn't like himself, you never know. :sunny:

Are we going to have to get Wernher here to break it up?:-j

[Arlo]

I was encouraged (read coerced) to take the sub entry test at AFEES Amarillo. My buddy and I were predisposed toward a brownshoe career. He made dot drawings on his test sheet. I made a half-arsed speed-through-it attempt. He blew it big time. I was rewarded with 'You were just *that* close, sailor.' I always suspected bubbleheads were brainiac-nerds of the nth degree. My time here reinforces my suspicions. This is why I read more than I post here.

[She-Wolf]

I posted a message over at ubisoft for Donna and RealOldPhart. I have a special job for Donna, and it involves SheWolf. :yeah::woot::()1:

what shenanigans are you up to fire? Donna and I have already met and exchanged thoughts, and two-girl power is to be reckoned with if you get all uppity!!

:hmph:

[She-Wolf]

Careful Donna, or we'll sic She-Wolf onya.:Kaleun_Goofy:
I HEARD that Wolf..

[She-Wolf]

Every one gets a special job. Now get to the aft torpedo room to set up your bunk. We designated it as the "lady's cabin" so you're sharing with SheWolf. Since she has seniority on the boat, you get to keep it clean, and keep the aft head clean. Looks like Armistead came up with a job for you also. And if you keep complaining about getting jobs, I'll make you clean the engine room.


woooh fire, I see... I guess I am senior to you too if we're talking age, so sit down and be a good boy or we'll GETCHA

[She-Wolf]

Glad to see you bigdog, er, uh, rmr. With donna and SheWolf on board together, we need someone to keep them under control. I'm assigning you to control them. I know it's going to be a tough assignment, but I think you can do it.
:salute:

Are we going to have to get Wernher here to break it up?:-j

Sure, when he fights through the wet paper bag, he's more than welcome to deal with Wolferz.

My advice to you and I'm sure Donna would agree, don't use words like "two women" of "we'll getcha" with fire, it would only encourage him to be a bigger pain in the tush than he already is. This forum is full of mature older men that know how to treat the weaker sex during sub patrol, I just hope your better at making coffee than Donna.

[Wolferz]

I HEARD that Wolf..

Ruh Roh!:huh:

Wernher can't break us up. He has immense trouble handling a Muff Cabbage.

Snookie wanted Smoosh Smoosh and Wern got a broken wing in the encounter.
We don't want to injure him... again.

Weaker sex??? Hoo boy you've done it now...


A woman can take a groin shot without buckling.
can you?
What's the capitol of Thailand?

Didn't think so.

@ Armistead hmph! there ain't nuffin weak about womenfolk; we know how to get you lot jumping through hoops from birth to death, using your brawn and our brains - we're just kind-hearted enough to let you THINK you're in charge - and I take two spoonfuls of brown sugar in my coffee please :) ...

I have to deal with this at home as well. Subsim was the last place I had to pretend I was boss.:Kaleun_Crying:

Wow, I've been looking at the join dates for some of the so-called "new arrivals" and I see none of you are new at all. Yet you are all acting as if you just stumbled upon a long forgotten gold mine.



Subsim is a gold mine. A plethora of information. :yeah:


Great to see folks from Ubi forums participating!

[Wolferz]

You say you were a private, which means you weren't in the navy. We were told that only jarheads put an extra "Sir!" before the reply.

Nope, I wasn't a squid, but not for lack of trying. My initial ASVAB score qualified me for the Nuclear Technician MOS. But, they turned me down because I had asthma when I was a teen and their regs require no attacks five years prior to your eighteenth birthday. It had only been four for me. The Army has no such qualms.
Basic training in Uncle Sam's Boy Scouts requires the extra Sir!
Addressing an NCO required two Sergeants also. Like the brand spanking new FNG I met in a PX restroom who addressed me thusly...
"Sergeant is there a drinking fountain around here Sergeant?"
I replied: "Private! I'm a private just like you!" I've never seen a kid turn that many shades of red since.:rotfl2:
My battle buddy naturally asked why I didn't drop him. Yeah sure! If his drill had walked in and caught me making his troopy beat his face on a restroom floor! Riiiiight! I would have been down there with the kid. Then escorted back to my barracks for a chat with my senior Drill, who would make me mule kick till I puked.

MULE KICK PRIVATE!
Those aren't Mule kicks! Them's bunny hops! I SAID MULE KICK!

"Mature older men" Now there's a contradiction in terms.

Nothing but a bunch of grey haired little boys is what I see here.

[Armistead]

You didn't say "immature", you were quoted as saying "mature" older men. Please try to pay attention to your own posts.

Oh dear, I was replying to you saying my comment that mature and older was a contradiction, which makes no sense. You can define mature as aged, but that would be more of a synonym, not a contradiction. I was simply stating older folks are often immature, not using it in the sense of age, which was obviously clear.

You forgot to tuck my sheets in my bunk and please learn to smooth out the wrinkles. Don't forget to polish the stern tubes.....You're not the only female around here you know, I'm sure She Wolf would love to serve on my boat.

[Armistead]

Well, even tho I like them on the fiesty side, I think, with my best puppy dog eyes and a few well place puppy kisses, I can keep the chaos down to a minimum.:cool:

You tried the puppy kisses over at Ubi, as I recalled Wolferz was the only one that enjoyed them. I know what you do with that tongue and I don't want it kissing me.

Wolferz, we agreed long ago, what happens in the Pacific stays in the Pacific. Do you really want all the cats out of the bag? Do you want all the dark closet gossip at Ubi spilled here at Subsim? How would you feel if I exposed your communist lust affair with Cel, the fact you were a Ubi plant to spy on members, incorrect counting in the SS competitions, told of the instance that Wern caught you doing,..well, I'll stop there. I also remember the time you got me thrown in the brig for two weeks, although I've forgiven you, the scar remains. I even kept a copy of that weekend thread that got three mods involved and almost got 14 of us banned for life. I'm sure you remember it, should I post it here for all to see? I put up with a lot of crap from you at Ubi, it was really nice to come to Subsim to escape, but now you're here, so I'll be watching.

After drinking Donna's coffee on patrol, any coffee She-Wolf makes would be an improvement.

[She-Wolf]

I ain't gonna be makin coffee for ANY of you gentlemen - the minute I take me hands off this tiller thing it all goes wonky...

It's an Ubi thing, obviously going over the tops of some peoples heads. In reality, we're all a very tight group of friends that carry on, there is no offense.

If bland humor mixed with obvious sarcasm needs to be moved to another forum, by all means move it to General Topics, not my thread, but if it goes on for pages, don't blame people posting, a mod should simply move it where he feels it belongs...

but geesh....lighten up people.

No, many of have been here as well, but several only post few times a year. My point was the topic wasn't game related at all, but it went on, then it evolved into other topics and jesting, including other mods joining in on the fun. Myself, I find it humerous as I'm sure most do, but if it belongs in another forum,......simply move it from the start, it was clear this thread was going all over the place 5 pages ago.

If there's a private club that involves http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/250/stripshy1.gif

We know our jobs, thank you Armistead. The point is that a reminder of where the off-topic matters go appears to be in order. Moreso given the amount of consternation that this this matter has caused. Otherwise, this scene will be repeated time and time again, and that's the kind of thing that makes mods cranky. And nobody likes it when the mods get cranky.

You sure you don't want to hear about the time at Ubi that Wolferz almost had 14 of us banned or the time....,well, maybe best to leave it alone. I'm sure Wolferz will keep you busy in the future, just take it from me, watch that guy.

My apologies to the management for putting this one in the wrong category. (Greenhorn here... for the most part)
Every topic I start that Armistead nee MWolfe gets involved with always suffers devolution and Armistead always :wah: if he can't have his way.

Could I get one of the fine moderators to move this thread to general topics and we'll continue snarking at one another there.
Oh, and rename the topic to Ubirats in the bilges. Thank you kindly.:salute:

[Armistead]

Well, I want to keep on topic {Ubi forums stink} but don't blame this on me. I just go along with the crowd, a general failing of mine. If it was up to me, I would've banned you after your first post. I'll certainly express my inner feelings regarding you once the topic is moved.

You're the one that got off topic { a topic that didn't belong here} talking about Prows, Poop Decks, being a private, etc....Then fire generally started offending everyone and I came to Donna's defense like a knight from the past. I tried to get back on topic, then dancing girls and ugly naked men........If I offended anyone, I'm sorrr, sorr....well, get over it.

Anyways, I know Takeda has his sword raised above my head or has a cell ready for me with bread and water, so I'll say one "last" thing , we both know who really is at fault here
