You're not a democratically elected official yet. Neither am I, though I do not care to be democratically elected. All great leaders have gained power through strength of arms and conniving.

Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, Napoleon, Churchill, Hitl ... ok so maybe not him, but he did try.

*clicks*


Well played BBC

And I thought dogs driving cars was weird...

Thats a feature we could do with on here eh D@V£

Don't be foolish. As a far greater leader than ol' Babyface Mcgee, my name should be far bigger. "Marginally larger" or "moderately larger" will do. Probabably the latter, given that I moderate, so that's kinda like one of those pun things. I am one of you. I understand your "humour".

Oh thats easy - Just set your key board to American english

Well that was an interesting evening. Ive just been in trouble with the fuzz for the first time ever! Someone in our shared house whos been a tit and not paid their rent needed to move out. So i spent all afternoon helping them work out where they can go for help and what applications then need to do to get temporary accommodation. We got a decent solution for them to follow in the morning and we left it at that. 40mins later and i get a knock on my door that wakes me up from 3 metropolitan police officers who had been called to an anti-social disturbance at the address. Spend the next 30 mins getting grilled about my intentions with this person and explain what ive spent all afternoon putting together and they realise the tit lied to them. Then as they left she became hysterical and assaulted one of them and is now spending a night with the Mets finest.

no good deed eh ...

Financially troubled ... mentally unstable ... prone to physical roughness ... I find this information very useful for picking my next one night stand

haha be my guest. Might want to castrate yourself after use tho.

"hello sir its the police, what are you up to this evening?" "oh i was just cleaning my M4 reading the Anarchy Cook book" "i was asleep"

My experience with the police is that when someone's being a drama llama and "dialling 911" (not a typo - they've actually made it so when you dial 911 over here, it's like if you dialled 999, turns out a lot of people pay more attention to Hollywood than what they're taught in school) they're all over it in an instant, but when you need, you know, actual police work done, all you can find are these "community support officers".

So whats going on here? DayZ started as a community mod right? It became very popular so my understanding was BIS gave the mod permission to go standalone using features of the A2/3 game engine like Iron Front? But now A3 is postponed and BIS is developing DayZ?? BIS has sunk to working for a community mod thats more successful than their own game? Has it really come to this? A decade of realistic warfare simulation development is going to become a zombie FPS?

edit: after reading the wiki the answer is pretty much yes.

... so erm chaps is this the end of the story for ofp and arma?

You should consider a career in tabloid journalism. Incorrect facts, rhetoric questions that go the wrong way, a complete failure to mention a key issue that changes everything... it'd be a perfect fit

The day this place is independently regulated really would be its death in my defense i haven't been following the story (so it'll be the dailymail then?) im thinking more long term ... after A3 next year if / when DayZ gets huge?

To be honest, if BIS are still sticking behind take on helicopters, I wouldn't worry about them giving up on ArmA

Some member of the Religion of Peace ™ tried to cause a bloodbath in our former capital Bonn. An explosive device that consisted of ammonium nitrate and gas cylinders was placed in a busy train station and only failed to kill scores because the detonator stopped working. Police are looking for a bunch of East Africans who call themselves "the German order of the Al Shabaab".

Unfortunately all religions are this to begin with. Not the religion fault that idiots doesn't know how to read and understand sacred texts

or wire a decent circuit by the sounds of things. Makes me laugh every time one of these is foiled ... some vicar in his robes trying to solder electrics whilst reading how to do it on terrorist.wiki

What gets me is religion is the only subject that has gone down this path of terrorist attacks. You don't see Unicef leaving bags of C4 on packed trains to get its message across. The way some of the militant unions operate over here in the uk im surprised there isnt more ...

Are socialism and pacifism also considered religions then?

I mean, they have all of the trademarks. A flawed ideology, zealousness, blind obedience, incapacity for logical thinking, no sense of humour, proneness to violence to promote peace etc

'Not nearly all Muslims are terrorists, but almost all terrorists are Muslims.'
It's not only about this religion itself but also its cultural roots which were enormously bellicose, in fact way more bellicose than those of the other Abrahamian religions which just turned to violence every here and there along their way and due to the instrumentalization by secular powers. But of course its true that other religions and political groups have spawned terrorists and violent retards in numbers, too (obviously this leaves 'state terrorism' á la Stalin and Hitler out of the equation). I think the matter with religions is that they consider themselves to hold ultimate truths, a truth that could only be countered with an equally high-ranking truth if you get my drift: if you compared that to the old struggle between the both wings of the political spectrum (left vs. right) you'd just observe how supporters of one side countered the ideas of another with their own concepts - and to no end. Naturally each side regards its own ideas as better and more profound, but where does that leave us against religious extremists when we're not extremists themselves. The sad answer is that against Islamism only radical religiousness could really make a difference. People who see themselves as holy warriors and who in their mentality could live a thousand years ago and carry a scimitar into battle, when they ruthlessly place bombs to kill women and children, won't be impressed by the principle of due process and pseudo-sociological sympathy for the poor and deprived of their rights.

Now for a more mundane matter, have all of you bought their christmas presents yet?

No. So far I've bought a kettle and a bottle of Drambuie. Way to go yet.

Ahem.

Whats the difference between Santa Claus and a Jew?
Santa Claus goes down the chimney.

Wonder if Iron Front will do a "Final Solution" DLC?

Heading into Camden in the morning to do my Christmas shopping ... hope everyone likes cannabis resin

Treat them all like they did Bin Laden. a healthy dosage of $0,80 worth of due process



Righteous freedom fighters, every last one of them!

Ahem. Goodness. Never let it be said that I'd be the cheeky weirdo here.

"Very Nearly". Gotta some people's scientific nomenclature

My point stands, it's barely more than 10 years ago that you'd be saying "almost every terrorist is Irish", and a few years before that, "almost every terrorist is German", and a few years before that "almost every terrorist is German"... and... erm.... then you just keep saying that, because it turns out you guys have been pretty good at the whole terror thing since before long before Germany even existed. There's a reason we named Germs after you

last time i wher in the US i am pretty surei saw you name on the Home Land Security terrorist watch list D@VE

Are you sure about that? This is the US we're talking about, and my name... well, not too difficult to spell, but, you know, it's got more than letters than you could count on one hand

true and they probebly think Wales is a district in Chaina so they will never find you

Hey Hornet85 you're back. How are you doing these days?Nitpicking. The point is... what was the point again?

Oh, I don't have a point, I just enjoy contradicting stuff you say

pMASTER. iam alive. hehe and that is probebly good

Well... it probably is good to be alive?

Dafuq is that man smoking.

true true, what have i missed for the last 2years? hehe

We've got ourselves a big-racked female member. Mark christened his first steam-powered warship. I've got cancer.

I command you to tell the two true ones from the piss-take.

"big-racked female member" D@VE finaly whent and got the surgery? And i dont hope you have cancer mate? if so iam realy sorry to hear that.
Dont belive Mark kan handle botle to christen a ship with

Mayday! Cant remember my PW to BI Forums and cant find a forgot my pw thingy iam lost

Pah, BI Forums? You don't want to hang out with those guys, this is where the party's at.

I think.

I've been here a while now.

BI, eh.
Sorry guise. You do your helicopter thingy and ArmAdern Warfare stuff whilst I go back playing the OFP Resistance campaign for the millionth time.Glorious choices.

We're all still here!

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!?

Its becaus when the Maya Indians calculated the end of the world, they obviously forgot all about Chuck Norris!

Generally, I tend not to put my faith in cultures that hadn't even developed the wheel.

And the kicker is, the calender that started all this nonsense is actually round! You'd think at some point, someone would have dropped one, seen it roll down the stairs of those pyramids they built and think "hey, that looks fun!".

^
I'd wager the Mayan stonemason who crafted the calendar just presumed future generations would be intelligent enough to put two and two together when he ran out of space for more years.

And why trust the Doomsday predictions of a people that couldn't even prevent it's own civilization from collapsing until that day had arrived

So, so true.

Hai Hornet btw, long time no see!

Hej Mark, oyes ihave been out of town

Merry Christmas!

Humbug! Humbug!

Humbug, Mr Master?

Mmmm, humbug. Merry Christmas bitches.

Happy New Year, my fellow earthlings!
