Pen's SH3 Rant on 'nicknames'

Right, this has been sticking in my craw for some time now and I am going to release, so I really really hope people are paying attention to me, cause I am a busy person these days, so, please don't make me repeat myself or else...

sun doesn't... and...

cheers!:rotfl::rotfl:

Right, onto the matters at hand, this business, of calling Unmodded Silent Hunter III "Vanilla" its complete and utter craziness, its rubbish for want of a better term.

Why? Because vanilla, proper vanilla flavourings are some of the most expensive flavourings you can buy! Have any of you ever tried making your own vanilla ice cream? I have and believe me it grieves me when I hear people refer to vanilla as being "plain!" Philistines!! They just don't get it, or appreciate what vanilla truly is.

I presume, that you call unmodded Silent Hunter III "Vanilla" because it is "Plain" well, it is plain, but its NOT vanilla. *deep breath*

Vanilla IS a flavouring. And a very expensive one at that, especially if you get the decent stuff.

Right, while we are on the subject calling Silent Hunter III "stock" now I am guilty of this myself.

Stock again is a very flavour and diverse packed thing.

Let it not be said that I don't offer direction for my preachings... what should we call Silent Hunter III, we should call it "base" Silent Hunter III.

Why?

Because its like a Pizza, Silent Hunter III in the box is our base on which to put our topings, the various supermods. Like GWX, Uberboat, WAC and so forth. And if you don't want to put a supermod, there are lots of individual mods that adjust silent hunter III game behaviour like... ok I can't think of any, cause all I uses is GWX for my serious career and Uberboat for when I want a right good laugh and to blast things to bits for a bit of pure shoot em up fun to unwind.

So there we are, SH3 shall henceforth in its unmodded state be referred to as "BASE" if you please.

Silent Hunter III is like Pizza not Ice Cream!

*takes another deep breath and tries to stop eye twitching sporadically.*

Hope nobody is offended Im just having a laugh.:rotfl:

But I do think "base" is a better terminology for unmodded SH3 than "vanilla" or "stock"
