I don't care if you or anyone else will buy it, I will, because Dan's my friend. And maybe if he comes to the next subsim meet, I'll have him sign my copy.

When I first met him in the 2008 meet, I told him that he was like a celebrity, that just saying he was a game developer we should be asking for his autograph and getting our picture taken with him. I still feel this way, as he has put MANY hours into the Silent Hunter series. 3, 4 (and add-ons), and now 5, he's kept the series alive, and I have full faith that if you like 3 or 4, SH5 will be right there with it.

Martes and I were also there at the meet this year, where we saw real game footage being played by the developers. We saw and heard things that little 5 minute clips, or screenshots can't do. Dan also explained the modability of things such as the GUI using Python scripts.

Dan is also human, as all the other developers are. Treat them with respect. This is my first and last post concerning this, as it should be common sense.

We are VERY lucky to have developers that give a **** about their product. Have a little empathy for the situation and show them the respect they so greatly deserve!

Please don't tell me about Dan or others, they are making me feel somehow ashamed that I am romanian ... I've had higher expectations from romanian programmers, because I know that they are supposed to be some of the best in the world.

Heh, wish you were my ethics teacher, that 1000 points would come in handy.

I believe they are the best in the world

I love those guys

Neal Stevens, that was the rudest thing possible, to ban somebody just because it had different opinion than yours. Shame on you, it seems that you were growing old in vain! Come on, erase this message and ban me again. That's ALL you can do, to put your fist in my mouth.

Well, that's a good place for it.

Your ban had nothing to do with my opinion, I didn't state an opinion. But if you want to carry on like a jackass, do it somewhere else.

are you kidding me?

reality check here, nobody has ever been allowed to act like an azz here without being penalized for it.

subsim is one of the few places where adults have adult conversations without childish morons resorting to personal attacks and flame fests.

we allow members here great freedom to express their views "within reason" and in a respectfull manner.

no one can read that mans post and think he did not deserve the infraction he recieved so you must have some other reason for your comments.

if you just want to insult or tell neal how he should run his own website why dont you send him a PM so the rest of the forum doesnt have to be involved in it?

or better yet if you really dont like the way this place is run then i invite you to go to another forum more suited to your taste.

Way to start with your first post.

It is usually a good idea to know the full story before you go spouting off righteouness.

Hint: It was a new account of the banned person in question.

Higher expectations of what? You have the game? Otherwise you don't know crap just like the rest of us. It is poor taste to criticize something you know almost nothing about. Why not wait a month or two and try this stance with some facts, and I will have played the game by them and will I suspect be prepared to tell you you don't know crapola!

Or, if he meant the developers, name anyone in the Game Industry who would fly out to the US for a meet with some of us Subsimmers for a week.

Or fly out to Copenhagen, spend a day travelling to Germany to visit U-995, stuck in a bright green van stuck with 9 of us subsimmers again, asking, bickering, and overheating questions about the game.

I'm sure you can find pictures of that van somewhere, and I'm surprised we all fit

I'm not. I am just glad Neal didn't yell Crash Dive, and make us all dive into the front seat.

Well, Ubi and also the developers should feel proud to have such an impressive army of defenders ... while they cannot defend themselves. They are somehow demigods that can't come down to Earth and speak to the mortals. I suppose you are playing SH3 or 4 on the "easy" level, am I right? And you are very happy about it.
