Is Avon Lady coolest female on the net?

[Kurushio]

I think so...I mean, wouldn't we all want our women to be like her? God's sake...all the girls I met hate war films...all into these soppy films. :damn: Can you imagine having a lady where you can discuss the finer points of tactical warfare? All women want to talk about is what Sue said to Shirley and how Mat (Sarah's boyfriend) is seeing someone else behind her back. :damn:

Then you have Avon lady...where you can talk about the benfits of an M4 over an M16... You can REALLY talk to this bird, not like I do now and just grunt or the occassional "yes"...without knowing what I just said.

Man...if she wasn't taken...I'd be right in there. :cry:

...lying in bed with me girl...talking about the T-72's loading system...ahhh....I can dream. :cry:

[Skybird]

If I read the Lady's mind correctly, you better get your helmet on now and lie flat on the ground...

[Kurushio]

LOL....I'm in my reinforced bunker with rations for 40 days as we speak

[kiwi_2005]

Yes shes one of a kind, the world needs more avons!:arrgh!: I would take skybirds advice Kurushio, keep ya head down and your helmet fasten an air strike is on your way:lol:

Kurushio its too bad you're an Atheist/Catholic and not a Muslim, because that would be entertainment. :yep:

[jumpy]

wouldn't we all want our women to be like her?
eerm... nooo, sorry.
One of the things I like about my other half is that she doesn't always like the same things as me, ie. war stuff. Would be terribly boring otherwise. Besides, I like a quiet (ish) life at home :oops: sry Avon :lol:

Kurushio, I recommend a cold shower, if only to render yourself fire retardent for a short time:hmm::rotfl:

[The Noob]

YES!:up:

We need more Avon Ladies.:yep:

BUT i have to admit, i would rather like a Avon Lady who is Communist, but what the Hell. World aint Perfect, eh?;)

[Dowly]

So, Avon. What game was it, that got you into playing??

It couldnt be SHIII as I saw you yeaaars ago in OFP sites, so tell us! ;)

[The Avon Lady]

Besides, I like a quiet (ish) life at home :oops: sry Avon
Does this mean I shouldn't send the kids over for a few hours later today?

Man, saying so - that's what I call courage! :cool:

[The Avon Lady]

So, Avon. What game was it, that got you into playing??
Novalogic's first Delta Force game. I downloaded the demo and - POOF - I was hooked.

OFP is still amazing and I'm anxiously looking forward to the sequel, Armed Assault (ArmA).

With Delta Force games, you could just hop into an MP game at anytime. This flexibility allowed me to play a lot of MP, even if not in large contiguous amounts of time. I went crazy over some CTF maps but my favorite role was sniping from 1.5km away with my Barret. I was also very cruel with a k-bar knife in hand. Woohoo!

OFP doesn't allow you to join an MP game already in progress (ArmA will). As such, I rarely had the chance to meet server game schedules. In addition, I devoted so much time to my OFP FAQ that I hardly had any actual time left for gaming - even SP. But I did succeed in publishing numerous modified SP missions and campaigns, including my "Pigs Can Fly" campaign, which showed off a great A-10 Warthog addon by some named Diesel. I also developed an elementary resource database method, called AMORE (Avon's Multimedia for Ofp REpository), which makes it much easier to reuse audio and script files in multiple missions. Unfortunately, it never gained wide popularity.

I wound up buying SH3 because I had previously played the demos of Enigma: Rising Tide and I subsequently bought the game. Besides being fun, the advantages in these sub games is my control of my real life schedule, though playing SH3 as a member of the WaW team was extremly time consuming.

So there you have this online warrior's career in a nutshell. ;)

[Oberon]

I consider myself lucky to have an other half that loves playing BF1942, and can even take me on in Desert Combat (she's a dab hand in a T-90 as me and my mate have found out :oops: ).
I've yet to try her on Forgotten Hope though...:D

[Kruger]

I personally haven't met Avon Lady...and I doubt I ever will since I live in Romania. Still, I couldn't help noticing her way of being...and I admire her for that. On the other hand...I have a very good friend, she's called Arwen. For me, she's the coolest female on the net and in real life. Not to mention that she's more of a man than a thousand men.....when she wants to.

We watch sub movies....we're both of german origin, her boss is Rommel, my boss is Doenitz.....we read the same books...we play the same games....and we're in the same counter-strike clan.

Agree. I totally hate gossipers and must state woman are the worse for this. (I must state with helmet on Avon does not gossip!)Anyways nothing else better to do in there lifes but create gossip and sometimes ruin ppls lives. It should be considered a law - caught gossiping you get 6months in jail :yep:
I remeber a few years ago now my cousin who lived in the same town as me was murdered. He was a collector of fast cars had a garage full of them a really cool generous bloke who would go out of his way helping ppl. One afternoon driving into town he stopped to pick up two young guys hitchhiking, they shot him in the side and pushed him out of the car, yet his arm was entangled in the seatbelt so when they drove off he was dragged up the road. The police said he was just a piece of meat when they found him, what made it worse is he would of been alive when pushed out and dragged. :nope: Anyway the point is we both had the same name "Frank" and his middle name was Frank so the gossip that spread around town was that i was the one murdered. Frank the bushmen is dead! oh how did he die, oh i think it was some accident while out shooting etc., just all BS. I'll never forget the day two weeks after my cousin was buired i went into town to put the gossip at rest. Seeing the gasp of the gossipers as i walked up the street was the best revenge i could manage:smug: They were speechless :yep:

You know what...being called a sad git by the saddest of the sad (i.e. sub-sim players) is the ultimate. Though it's rich of you, don't you think? Take into account I haven't played a game in about 2 weeks now...purely because I'm too tired. Yet you effing sados post on here AND play games. I purely post on here...1 forum...and yes I post whilst maybe I should be doing more boring stuff....like paperwork...but I manage both in the end.

Also take into account I'm my own boss...because while you lot have been wasting your life away I was smart enough to build my little asset empire, and now don't need a boss to feed me... Jealous much? :arrgh!:

Also examine the dates...you sad bastards have been sad for a long time...

And finally, you're right. I'm getting a bad reputation associating with the saddest, nerdy people on the internet. So I think I'll be off..so this will be my last post.

Thanks, you've made me see the light. So I wont be ordering the Naval Combat Pack from Subsim.com or buying SH4!

Interesting...I first got hooked in MP games with Delta Force too.

My farthest shot with the Barrett was a little less than 3,000 meters (friend and I were competing for distance shots and that's how I ended up....with the winning shot).

My best shot with the Barrett was (I think) at 1700 meters on a running man (dont remember the name it was also on a desert map). That .50 was really cool. Until MOH came around.

I come back from a few vacation days and I see something needed moderator intervention. :shifty:

Oh well! ;)

Skybird and others, the wearing by women of weapons, such as swords and guns, in Jewish law is generally considered a violation of the Torah prohibition that a woman shall not wear the attire of a man (see Deuteronomy 22:5). However, when a women needs to carry a weapon for safety, she is obligated to do so and to know how to use the weapon.

Many of my friends and relatives living in Judea and Samaria must unfortunately travel armed in those areas, when not accompanied by their husbands or when circumstances call for it.

Did not know that, but my knowledge on Judaism in general is limited. How do you Jews get it together with your religious laws that women are serving in your armed forces?

Deuteronomy 22:5: "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God."

Good old Deuteronomy, my favourite part of the Old Testament. One of the latter verses particularly amuses me:

Deuteronomy 22:22 "If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel."

Does your religious beliefs therefore also indicate, as this verse from the same book spells out so clearly and with no ambiguity, that adulterers are to be executed? Or do you just cherry pick which parts of the Old Testament to believe in?

Another favourite selection from Deuteronomy:

13:6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers...

13:9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

Do you believe that you have a God given obligation to murder those who convert to other faiths as well Avon? Just curious by such things having had my interest in religious dogma awakened by our recent discussions on it.

[The Avon Lady]

How do you Jews get it together with your religious laws that women are serving in your armed forces?
All major Jewish legal authorities forbid women from serving in the military.

Israel's military is mostly seculalrly run, with some special conditions for religious soldiers, including religious women who nevertheless decide to serve in the military.

Adultery is a capital crime. Nothing new here. I believe this has been discussed a long time ago here on the forums.

There are numerous sins which the Torah lists as capital crimes.

Why accuse me of cherry picking? :hmm:
Another favourite selection from Deuteronomy:
Oh, a connoisseur! :|\\
13:6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers...

Heresy is also a capital crime.

This, too, has been discussed. You might want to google around to find out why Jewish courts have not tried capital cases for over 2000 years.

There's also this famous Mishna on the subject:

"A Sanhedrin (High Court) that executes once in seven years is called a destroyer. Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah says: (even) once in 70 years.".

And in order to convict anyone of a capital crime, there must be 2 actual eyewitnesses (no circumstantial evidence allowed) and the witnesses must have forwarned the individual(s) involved of their potential crime and its consequences.

G-d made it very difficult for mankind to ever reach the necessary conditions to arrive at a conviction. And when the worst of crimes became commonplace and indeed such executions began taking place more often, the Rabbinic leaders of those times canceled the Torah's own laws and capital cases were no longer tried.

I'll quote an appropriate portion from the article Capital Punishment and Curbing Crime (http://www.aish.com/torahportion/kolyaakov/Capital_Punishment_and_Curbing_Crime.asp):

But what then are we to do with all of the verses in the Torah delineating all the capital consequences and punishments of transgressions? The Torah was not simply wasting its time in an exercise in futility. So why does the Torah list and threaten numerous punishments if they are not easily designed ever to be carried out?

The answer is this. The mark of social stability, morality, and lack of crime within any society is not necessarily based on the number of criminals who are actually convicted. What matters most is not how many arrests we make but the very fact that we put a law on the books and make a statement of what our values are. It is of utmost importance for a society to prohibit and make adultery illegal. Whether it is practical or possible to enforce such a law is irrelevant. We need to make the strong declaration that adultery is patented evil, regardless. We must make statements explaining our values.

Murder is unacceptable and deserving of death, whether we are able to punish all murderers or not.

We may think that it doesn't matter very much when we firmly state our morals even without the ability to carry out punishment. But it matters very much. The difference is the entire pulse and tone of our society. Children grow up with a sense of right and wrong in their outlooks and understanding when we clearly and cogently state our morals and values. If society has no stated values, the child will experiment with anything and everything and walk down immoral paths.



Again, I suggest googling for more information on the philosophy and history of Judaism and capital offenses.

EDIT: It's obvious, Scandium, that you wish to dig at Judaism in a way you think I have dug at Islam. No problemo. I would, however, like to know if you think I have said anything derogatory of Islam simply for the fact that Islam, too, advocates and carries out capital punishment for numerous crimes to this day? Please point out where I've made such statements against Islam. I believe I never have, though there is only minimal comparison on what it takes to get condemned to death in an Islamic court versus a Jewish court of 2000+ years ago.

This is especially true of charges of adultery against women in the Islamic judicial system, where so many women have been killed, often based on little more than heresay.

BTW, for the purpose of this discussion, the Judaic meaning of adultery refers to the act of consensual sexual intercourse between any man and a betrothed or married women. To the best of my knowledge, adultery in Islam is defined as also applying to unmarried women but then it is not a capital crime but rather subject to 100 lashes.

All this thread was about was complimenting Avon Lady...cos I remember her way back when she had her OpFlash FAQ and we met on various forums over the years. Greatly admired her...never really told her though. Thought I would here. Wow...what a mistake. Have to remember how many jerks are on the internet next time. My bad.

:roll:
Keep it to the PM's Kurushio. I'm enjoying them. Keep them coming.

Ho, I return to the forum after a considerable absence, and I see that the squabling has not yielded. It is also apparant that when matters of state or leisure are unavaliable, some are content to fight it out over absolutely nothing at all.

To the point, there is nothing about The Avon Lady to indicate an absence of that which is good.* However, not being aware of all of the other females that are on the net, I am clearly underqualified in placing her at the top of such a pool


*I use 'good' in the purely Aquinian sense. I leave it to the individual members of the community to consult the Summa Theologiae for reference.

So, I see these jerks were starting trouble before I was around, then? :roll: Seems like I was just the latest target...or something. Might I add that as a potential customer of this site, that puts me right off. See, now I'm in a dilemma...do I order the Naval Combat Pack or not? You know, it's like going into a store and being harassed by one of the customers just because I happened to make a nice remark to a cashier. Would you buy anything in that shop if none of the staff did anything about being harassed?

Yeah, I respect Avon Lady and consider her a very nice person...never seen a horrible word from her after all these years, even when she was attacked by some Nazi jerk on the UBI (SH3) forums. Do I fancy her? No...I need to see a woman before I can make a judgement. Do I like Israeli women? Yes...they are some of the most attractive on the planet...and if you don't think so, you've never met any. Do I like Israelis in general? Absolutely...I think it takes balls to do what they're doing and not being bullied...I gave them my upmost respect.

That's my opinion...if you don't agree you can just not answer or say so...no reason to take it out on someone personally. :up:

A considerable absence in this sense refers to a period of about six weeks.

I have no interest in engaging your semantics. Purchase from SubSim if you wish. Do not if that is your wish. In any sense, I stand fairly confident in the reality that bradclark1 will not see a dime in either case, so you won't be hurting him. Regardless, if this is the worst harassment you recieve during your time on the internet, you should label yourself fortunate.

Do yourself a favor and put this behind you.

[Kurushio]

...and why should I be harassed at all on the internet? Isn't this supposed to be fun..at the least? Last time I checked, I'm not being paid for it. And in which world does he live in where he (brad) just picks on someone who never had any contact with him prior to this thread? Completely baffling...you know...that's the modus operandi of a madman. Pick on a stranger in the street for no reason.

Whatever...I'm over it already...just baffled and dismayed...tis all.

...just to answer you, no, this isn't the worst harassment I suffered...I was attacked by a hammer weilding thug 2 years ago...in the end, it was him that nearly ended up dead (not that I wanted it that way). He attacked me cos he was trying to kill a woman...I was just passing by at the time. And don't bother notifying the police...went to court already. :up: Anyway, I think that was slightly more serious harassment.

edit: Oh yeah...and before criticising people about "not going out"...yeah it's a Saturday night and I'm in...so what? Do you know my life? No...so don't judge me. Go out...witness a woman getting set upon by a man with a hammer...which he then turns on you...you luckily take him out, though unfortunately you nearly kill him in the process...lose your job cos you stay up worrying if you'll be prosecuted for 6 months...then be awarded a stupid medal for saving a womans life...turn it down....not offered counselling or anything...not that I need it....but oh yeah..wait a sec...I think I'll go out!

not that it's any of anyones business...but some people should think before they open their mouthes

Why must a man purchase an automobile for the ability to drive to work and earn a salary so that he may, in turn, pay for the automobile? This, like your question, is one without answer. Nonetheless, you can expect to be burdened with both. I have often said that the internet posesses the rare quality of reducing what are normally amiable members of society to the status of squabbling children. I only suggest to mind whom you converse with, and never hesitate to walk away from the thread without notice. After all, if one argue with a fool, does it not render him all the more foolish? People will begin to see that you will not be argued with, and will act as such when conversing with you.

Ah delta force I, one of my old favorites, i also was a sniper (and pretty leathal too) though i prefered i think it was the remington 700 over the barret (barret was too big, too noisy, too cumbersom) the 700 was more of a scalpel. I got the nickname Ghost from the people who i would play with as was rarely ever spotted. Pitty cheaters started to wreck multiplayer (especialy with DF3 where cheating was rampant)

OFP was another great game, one of my top favs. Im also eagerly awaiting the next incarnation.

As for Avon Lady being the coolest female on the net. Well i wouldnt make such a broad statement, but she certainly has my respect, her posts generaly tend to be worth reading and well thought out. I think she certainly adds to the community in general :) But there are several other women gamers, etc out there too who are also "cool"

Lastly as for Judaism, the Torah, and Jewish law. Well i will avoid the discussion as discussion of religion typicaly leads to grief. I will say that the Torah is an interesting book, and trying to decide what each passage "realy means" has been a never ending source of conversation, discussion and debate by rabbi's and scholars alike, as i understand partly because old hebrew does not have any verbs.

That's very sage advice...

:rotfl:When have you been harrassed?
I don't think anyone said anything about you complimenting AL either.
Someone is letting their imagination run away with them.
Think back to what I said. Not what you said.
As far as buying anything here, what do I care if you buy something here or in Timbuktoo. Doesn't affect me one way or the other or do you expect someone from here to beg for your patronage for some reason?

I think the thread is off topic and the subject's bleeded dry.
I suggest we let it die.

You said something about you finding it hard for me to have a woman of any sort except for the blow-up variety. I'm wondering what provoked such a reaction from you, seeing I was only complimenting Avon Lady? Or is that a normal thing for you...randomly being nasty to people. Yeah I know me not ordering the game does nothing for you (you selfish git) but think about the owners of the website for which you are, unfortunately, posting on their forum...thus a guest. Not a very good guest, are you, when you drive their potential customers away?


Still wondering what motive you had to post a snide comment when even now I don't have a clue who you are or what I did to you. :hmm:

[The Avon Lady]

Are you boys still fightin' over lil' ol' me?

Why don't you settle this outside real gentlemen-like?

It was meant to be humorous actually. That is why it had the ping icon on it. Your alterego/inferiority complex or whatever fed it after that. The family was enjoying your pm's so I let you have your reign in that. My daughter actually sent you my last reply.

That doesn't sound very humorous...in actual fact, humour like that would get you a broken chin most probably. Try it...go outside your door, and the first stranger you meet...tell him that. See what happens. But anyway...whatever makes you happy.

I don't know you from Adam...don't want to either. Don't know if you have a wife, a daughter or are even human...you may just be an incredibly intelligent turd for all I know. My insults were generic, hit and miss...much like yours.

So let's drop it...I think Avon Lady is pretty cool...you don't. Let's respect each other's opinions. :up:

p.s. Respect: look that up in the dictionary...though I'm afraid it's too late to teach you some, old man.:stare: Let's hope you do a better job with your offspring.

Oh, I think AL is cool all right. I don't slobber though.
Respect: You have to have towards that person to give it. You aren't in that category, sorry.
Do try and get over your complex. It would do you a world of good and you might get a date.

p.s. I never insulted you. I told the truth.

Well, sometimes this place suffers from a considerable ammount of under-moderation. Laissez-faire is nice and well, but one could exaggerate it. Especially when violaters use that freedom to spread their infection.

[bradclark1]

I let it die if you look back you will see a few of his posts before I felt I had to respond.
Nobody is making you read this thread so if it upsets you don't read it!

Slobber??! :huh: What is wrong with you? No offence, and I'm sure she's a very attractive and nice lady, but Avon Lady if I remember already has an extensive family...you really think I'm slobbering after her? I haven't even ever seen a picture of her. As I said before, I respect her greatly and said I wouldn't mind seeing more females like her, just as I wouldn't mind seeing more females into sports like football...there aren't enough of them. That's all. And what business is it of yours if I can or can't get a date? Is your intimate life so boring you have to pry into someone elses?

Mind your own frigging business....nosey old coot. Bet your neighbours have put up the most humungous fences they could find. God sake...look at yourself before criticising others. Twerp.

I bet you're a real playboy....women are drooling after you. That's why you're here and not entertaining one.

[NeonSamurai]

Ok let me put this as plainly as possible, the 2 of you (bradclark1, and Kurushio) are in violation of SUBSIM Policy, I quote. (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/faq.php?faq=susbim_faq_item#faq_rules3_faq_item)

The Radio Room forum is not the place for flaming, spewing, or otherwise mouthing off. We do not allow posts where people are called idiots, morons, etc. We respect your freedom of speech, we ask that you respect our rules. You are welcome to express your opinion about games and other subjects. We do not want SUBSIM Review and the Radio Room forums to degenerate into a collection of *This game sux!!!!* and other immature rants. Like something or dislike something about a game, express your thoughts in reasoned and responsible terms. There are any number of forums which allow unbridled idiocy to reign, we want the Radio Room to be a civil, mature forum for discussions about naval and subsims, tactics, mods, playing tips, troubleshooting, and submarine topics in general. As such, we retain the right to edit and/or delete posts we find offensive. We also have the right to ban users who contribute to poisoning the well. Just as a radio talk host has the right to decide who he airs and a newspaper editor decides whose letters he prints and whose he throws away, the moderators in the Radio Room forums have final say on rants and spews they decide should be cut.

Though i dont have moderation rights to this particular corner of SUBSIM. I can still as a SUBSIM moderator inform you that you are breaking our policy, and if you continue in this manner, there will be consequences.

The behavior from both of you in this thread is unacceptable. It has nothing to do with upsetting me (belive me ive seen worse then this example of childish behaviour). It simply will not be tolerated here.

[John Channing]

Well, well, well... I try to take a Sunday off to do a few chores and someone leaves the playpen open and the children are running wild.

Typical.

Because of my fondness for the Avon Lady I an not going to lock this thread yet.

But a couple of it's particiapnts are dangerously close to the edge here.

I wouldn't take one more step if I were them.

In all honesty, I really don't need my name in lights. If this thread is problematic, you will not offend me in any way by closing it.

[Abraham]

There's a rule on this forum which says: "Don't get personal." Taking the question what we think about one of our female (!) forum members as a subject title for a thread was bound to make things go wrong.
They did.
I will close the thread on special request.
