Well, call me a tight-ass because I wouldn't change one thing about the way AAN is run. I'd rather adhere to some rules than have loudmouth jerkoffs ruining my gaming experience. If you wanna cheat/smurf (whatever THAT is)/swear like a sailor, go play somewhere else.

For chrissakes, it's not that hard to understand. You come into our neighbourhood, you obey the rules. If you're not willing to do that, why bother connecting? More power to you if you wanna do that on your own server, but stay the hell away from me.

I like the swear filter, I like servers with an active admin that cruises for idiots and cheaters. I have never once told someone how to run their server and I always live by the rules specified by the server owner. I didnt care for the manner in which those standards were applied and I did stay away!! I am not on the aan forums telling them how they have it all wrong, am I?

The reason that I like the AAN server so much is that it is what the aa.com server used to be. All of y'all that are reminiscing about the "way it used to be" but at the same time bashing the AAN server crack me up. All of reasons that I was attracted to Rudedog's server to begin with are the same things that make AAN great. Admins that care about the community; clean, fair gameplay; realism; close-knit group of regulars. I highly commend ChickenBoo for all of his hard work and great server! He has provided a haven for those of us old aa.com guys who play for fun and fellowship. If your idea of fun is cussing at each other, spawn killing in the boats at Omaha beach, etc., I don't care, to each his own, but do it on another server. Everybody knows how the AAN server expects you to act, why show up if your not going to comply? I miss playing with Wintersforge, ktog, Judas, Von etc.. I wish they would come around and say hello, I don't see why it is necessary to hide behind an assumed name. Nobody on AAN is going to bug you for favors. (of course this old timer might put you in his own "Hall of the Owned" if by some freak accident I actually killed one of you - see previously posted Blu Bash! evil: )

aM are n00bs...and they play stock now I believe.

No offense, but the AAN server is NOTHING like the way RUDEs server was. Not EVEN close. As admined as his server was, you could still act like "one of the guys" without 5 or 6 members of the AAN "gang" trying to jump on you for typing out a swear word.

You could play on the server, without having to worry about some sanctimonious prick preaching to you about the ills of internet gaming and how clean and fun their own server was, yada yada yada.

I also didn't have to worry about some jag-hole with a personal grudge kicking me for SAYING that I'd use my tk's since you're given three before your kicked. That to me - was really the straw that broke the camels back. And of course, they'll never admit they were in the wrong, because boo and doc have enough people in the peanut gallery backing them up to make sure they are always "right".

And I wouldn't have known I was banned since I dont even bother anymore - it's not fun anymore killin them fools.

And that realism mod - WHEW! Stinky.

Well it's been a long time since I posted on this board and this thread is exactly why.
I'm the other "Winters" in question.

Gerard - you were banned because of a misunderstanding and were un-banned the next day. Akuma was typing console messages about you from ASE and we thought it was you that somehow had rcon access. You were kicked, banned and then when we worked it out, unbanned. Don't make a big deal out of it.

Ed - again a misunderstanding. I was trying to be the voice of reason when the whole thing started with you because I think a lot of things were misunderstood. What I understood as you joking others thought you were being serious. But when we tried to engage you in a serious conversation about it, you became a dick. I've read all the shit you said about me and us and of course I still think you're a little punk.

Judas - I always thought we were pretty tight in the AA days. I thought we got along great and I never had a problem with you, or WF or any of the DOA or aM or KAOS guys. What I don't like is the smurfing. I was the one that kicked and banned you that night because I didn't know who you were, you made teams uneven, and TKed. If I had known it was you I would have tried to reason with you.

Like Colonel and Zone said - you guys should all realize that the AAN server is modeled after the AA.com server - where we all met and had a really good time. Rude ran a tight ship and we do the same thing.

I personally have a short fuse for anyone being an idiot and don't want them to take away from my fun or the fun of the server. We all for the most part agree how we like the AAN server so if someone is TKing, swearing, or the one that pisses me off the most DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO COUNT and even teams, then I have very little tolerance for it. Read the rules, obey them or leave.

We put a lot of time and money into having what we think is a fun server. If our brand of fun is not what you like, you don't have to play it.

[quote="ED! Ban #126":13978]And that realism mod - WHEW! Stinky.[/quote:13978]

I have to admit it is pretty dinky, the only remotely realistic thing in it is the ppsh having a higher rate of fire and a bigger drum capacity. As far as realism goes thats it, since when did the stg 44 fire like it was a semi automatic assault rifle? Same question goes for the smg's as well.

All in all spearhead is good for one thing, rifling. Aside from that its the same old shite as mohaa only speeded up stupidly and given numerous bugs which ea refer to as "features". oOo:

Pardon me if i sound dumb but i fail to see the connection between me getting 10 kills and getting kicked as opposed to having rcon access. The thing that got me was any time i was racking up any amount of kills i was mystically kicked a few seconds later.

Coincidence? i dunno oOo:

you let Gerard get all those kills

damn you guys must be major n00bs.

Funny, I just concentrate on playing a leisurely game of "army" with some buds...I don't perch on my computer chair like a hawk and nitpick about the StG's rate of fire.

Anyway, I'm going to unwind my panties from the knot they've made themselves into and bow out of this conversation. There's no sense wasting time and effort trying to change the minds of those who don't want to listen to anything but the sound of their own keyboard keys clicking.

Rock on Boo, Doc, Winters, Col, and all the other guys I enjoy playing MoH with. Rock the fuck on.

So Gerard - the guy that made a mod that allowed the M1 to reload in mid clip is complaining about our realism.

It's not so much "realism" as it is balance. It shouldn't take a whole clip from a machine gun to kill someone. It shouldn't take 3 shots from a rifle to kill someone when all the other n00bs are using MGs. We like for balance and I think it works great. The AAN Realism takes skill. You need to be a good shot, not just spray and pray. You need to make your shots count. Many of us are bolt-action only and it works with our style.

About the swearing - I honestly could care less about the swearing. I fucking swear all the time evil: But the consensus was that we didn't like it so I go along with it. I do think it's idiotic when someone types a message that says "WTF that was fucking bullshit". Really it's the complaints and the swearing for the sake of swearing that annoys me.

BS. What was done was more of the same reactionary knee-jerk BS actions that go on here with some of your "cool peeps". Whether its locking threads started by "flagged" members, or kicking folks because of what you "think" they are doing - it's all the same. Sorry, but that's a PRETTY PETTY and crap way to run a server.

And voice of reason? You were the one who started it. oOo: Oh, and BOO's diplomatic "Well just consider it a warning (a warning against WHAT? - )", was VERY mature and totally didnt deserve the subsequent attitude given to them.

gg best thread ever

Sorry to inform you but the m1 garand CAN be reloaded mid clip in real life. Theres a button at the side of the chamber, thats pressed in pull back the bolt then remove the clip. Obviously this part of the animation wasn't included but never the less it could be reloaded mid clip albeit a bit slower than what i changed it to.

Tell us how you really feel you Stock-Map-Playing-Shotgun-Whoring-Hax0r!

AA.COM/AAN's dirty laundry getting tossed all over the place.
