or maybe the torpedoes.

Do you mean dates, or relationships? Because unless you actually made a date to do some simming and hacking with your special someone, then I can see where you deciding to do some simming and hacking while on said date would be a problem. :O:

Interesting. I once read something about the movie Das Boot where a woman was trying to explain why it was a film that she (as a woman) found so profoundly moving.

She said that she felt like the u-boat was like a womb, because it was a temporary home for these humans who depended upon it completely for their survival, and so the story brought out all her maternal instincts and made her feel fiercely protective of the characters.

common excuses for being late to a date:
"Sorry, i was busy evading the billions of depth charges"
"My A10 was shot down by a sam, i needed revenge on that sucker"
"Sorry, I was busy Dog fighting(they sometimes understand it as fighting with a dog)"
"i just sank the yamato on 100 realism you idiot!"

Phone calls during a date:
"my IP is XX, ill face you in victoria 2 asap"
"WHAT!!!!!, DDOS those *********s. mobilize all the hacking cells!"
"you say you can soot me down with your su27? wait until i get in my f15!(I usually pull out my laptop arount this point)"


also, i though it would be a good idea to know what she likes.
so i use some "hacking tricks"
but my stupid jealous friends usually tell her after our third date or so


so now i love my computer
don't you think duel xeons+ gtx 470*2 is sexy?

IMO this is less about simming and hacking than about not understanding that other people's time and attention is something of value. It may not be valuable to you, but it is to them if they have any self-respect at all. They've agreed to set aside some of their time and attention for you, and you keep them waiting because you've got things you'd rather do than show up at the time you presumably agreed on. Sure, sometimes a person is late, by accident or for reasons beyond their control. It happens. But when it's habitual? It's disrespectful and indicates, accurately, just how little interest you truly have in the other person and how little actual value you place on their willingness to set aside time for you. Being with them is clearly not a priority for you, at least not compared to whatever it is you've decided to do instead while they're wasting time waiting around for you to show up. So sooner or later, being with you will no longer be a priority for them either.

Once again, if this kind of thing is habitual, it has nothing to do with the fact that you are getting calls about simming and hacking and everything to do with the fact that you made plans to spend time with another person, during which they are presumably expected to devote their time and attention to you, and meanwhile you're giving your time and attention to other people and other things that are clearly more important to you than focusing on the person you're with and the reason you're with them.

It's not wrong to have priorities other than spending time on a date or being in a relationship. That's perfectly fine. But if you make a date with someone and then consistently behave like something else is far more important to you than showing up on time or giving them anything resembling your full attention when you do show up, then I'm not surprised when it doesn't work out. Most people have better things to do with their time than waste it on someone who by all indications isn't all that interested in being there.

I'm not trying to be harsh here, just pointing out some things I've learned from experience - having been on both sides of the issue at various time in my life. The main point is: don't expect someone else to keep giving you their time and attention if you're not willing and able to show up and do the same for them.

This is creepy and very disturbing. The way to find out what someone else likes is to spend time with them and get to know them. This means showing up when you have a date and focusing your attention on them during your time together. Which is something you don't seem to want to do, given what you've written above. Sorry, that's how it's done, and cyber-slinking around behind someone's back is not an appropriate substitute. Hacking someone's privacy in order to "know" them isn't appropriate, it's not flattering, it's not clever - it's disgusting and manipulative. If some "jealous friend" told me a guy was doing this as a means of getting to know what I like, the guy in question would not only never get within arms length of me again, he would probably have a cop knocking on his door. So STOP IT. RIGHT NOW. I'm not kidding. It's over the line, totally and absolutely unacceptable. :nope:

well, its a manly creation, but all get to enjoy its brutality. It does not discriminate, hate, take sides, or go easy on any particular person. To the sub, you are all equally Targets and will all equally be blown to hell.

Try telling that to BdU after you sink a hospital ship. :haha:

talk about soft targets. sinking hospital ships isnt just illegal its just plan sad. I mean, you got half your face blown off by a mortar, and youve been shot 2 times. You miraculously survived and are on your way home to endure life of being a freak, and all of a sudden theres a spine snapping sonic boom and your ******* drowning after having Endured and survived ALL that. or maybe you managed to stow away or catch a ride back home because you saw brothers in arms getting crushed by tanks or blown in half or being decapitated or getting your best friend's brains all over your gun, causing it to jam which you were going to use to shoot the german holding the panzerschreck which he in turn used to kill 8 more of your comrades. all that to drown because some guy 600 yards away just got up and said to himself, IMA GO BLOW UP A SHIP WITH A BUNCH OF HALF DEAD SOLDIERS WITH NO WAY TO FIGHT BACk! YEEHAW!

I thought the big red cross on the side was my aim point... :hmmm:

Umm user name: The tyrant
Hobbies: simming and hacking(and that includes boasting?)

Made a thread seemingly about banning another user even though a newcomer on subsim? And didn't bother to post it through PM and only did so under other user requests. . . .

Since I rely so much on my hunch I must ask you whether you're a troll? and which country are you from?

If not I apologize and I bid you welcome but you do make yourself look rather suspicious ;).
