My fellow Captains.....
 
My fellow Americans uhh i mean Captains, i have not been entirely good with you. I did post an annoying thread, and i am sorry. i have walked off the plank of annoyingness:nope:, but ready to get back on board the USS Subsim radio room forums. i had a little drink about an hour ago and it went straight to my head. I am a reformed captain, and i will act accordingly. Clear the bridge, Bog the hatches, set planes to dive, All men to battle stations, and hold on, this is about to get ugly..........

darn
 
I like him better before. Nothing good lasts.:wah:

p.s. You might want to talk to Rockn Robbins about attack techniques. Someone started a subsim rumor (those are the worst) awhile ago that he had some ideas on the subject. (I, of course, am a superlative captain and ignored his advice.:D)

i thank you and applaud you for wanting to start over :up:

looking at not only what you say but also the way you are saying it, can prevent many missunderstandings. sarcastic humor to some could be percieved as rude and insulting to others.

i think members were put off by your frequent posts (85 posts in just 4 weeks is a lot) without giving you the benefit of the doubt that you might just be a new member who is very exited and enthusiastic about the game and i will assume that thats all it was.

new members will start off posting frequently sometimes and then they quickly slow down and only post when they really have something to say.

in your case i think members felt (right or wrong) that you werent showing any signs that you were slowing down so they labeled you as a troll for frequent posting without purpose.

posting an attack post directed at another member is NOT the way to deal with the situation and you should know that that never solves anything and will only make things worse and get "you" into trouble for doing it.

i will assume you are a younger member who is used to the way other game forums are and how people act there so with this in mind i will make this next comment.

many game forums have a large amount of younger members and abusive language and seeing people with attitudes and making rude comments towards others are usually the norm at those sites but here at subsim this is a completely different type of forum for adults to have adult conversations and discussions so rudeness is not normal here and is very much discuraged.

please keep in mind that most members here are mature adults so they ask for and expect a certain amount of respect in conversations and if there are any personal dissagreements they are usually talked out in private PM's and not on the public forum.

if we dont agree with someones comments then we discuss it and if it cant be resolved then in most cases we agree to dissagree and let it go so the modderators do not have to get involved in it.

Investigation
 
Subsim naval intelligence paid me a visit inquiring if Mattj was a foreign agent trying to impede the War in the Pacific on behalf of the Axis. I told them I was under order to refer matters to headquarters, so they will probably interview Neal next.:D

Personally I'm gonna hold my breath :oops:

RedMenace 09-18-09 09:08 AM

Er, I know I'm going to come off as a massive troll right now, but uh, CaptainMattJ. never really came off to me as a troll. <_<

I mean, show me a single thread of his that wasn't, at the very least, made in good humour and/or spirits, because, while I've seen threads that may have come off as a tad immature, he's hardly a "troll."

RR has developed a new radar based attack for those dark and stormy nights. I've heard its particularly effective against Essex class carriers. :haha:

Have I been beaten...:o:hmmm:

I'm goin' down 09-19-09 01:29 AM

enough already
 
I am not big on love fests. Man the boats. We have a subsim to figure out, an enemy to beat, and only a brief time period before SH5 comes out. Get on it. God damn, that was a hilarious post by Pacific Ace.
:har:

Just the fact that you make your apologies shows your a fine guy:up:

For info on German torpedoes: http://navweaps.com/Weapons/WTGER_WWII.htm and http://uboat.net/technical/torpedoes.htm
In terms of game power (VS weight of explosive charge), on stock you can easily sink a DD or small ship with one torpedo while large tankers and battleships can take 3-6 (and the yamato like 12+)
