ofp, when realism counts Report from. simba 2/4/2005 A recent study from our agents seems to prove that an political activity in operation flashpoint community member’s brain is over , maybe since the beginning but further inquirery demonstrate that the PoliticalEEG (encephalogram) is totally flat . “May they rest for eternity on the bed of consumption". These were the last words of our beloved pope. Quotes scrub "you really need to keep this in the context of the game that it is" spqr "I'm french and I don't care about this writing " hmmwv "This tanks will rock (inscriptions included, of course) ferretfangs "It's realistic, and it looks good. I think the inscriptions should stay." I’m sorry peeps but this is true , you are totally politically pathetic (TPP) , you don’t answer my questions , and when you answer something it doesn’t have any interest. I’m gonna tell you a last time and take the problem under a new angle in order to make everybody understand why these stupid inscriptions aren’t good things to put on tanks . There is no war here and no aggresivity just the will to make you understand something and to make you change your mind , and also to fill this fourth Iraq thread with something less trivial than the last sun glasses of “our great soldiersâ€. I’d like to make something very clear to everybody; we are here having a debate and not an information session, in every debate the goal is to convince the others, that’ what I do and that’s what you do too. Right? When you say something: 1) I read carefully 2) Think 3) Doubt 4) Determine if I’m wrong or right 5) Type my answer All that as objectively as I can. But my feeling is that some people (not all, be frank with the heavy thing behind your computer reddish eyes) just jump from point 1 to 5. So if you still want to have this conversation, we could learn from each other but only if we aren’t closed like frightened mussels. Ok, the thing is those markings are a pretty bad thing because it is unconscious PROPAGANDA from inq, we spread ideas in everything we do and it’s normal, propaganda (or advertising) serves a purpose making you buy a new bottle of shampoo , a new car, accept a new law, a war… In my previous post I was asking “why are you for this war?†nobody answered is there some kind of wall in your brain forbidding you to talk about politics when you are in entertainment phase or what? or do you intentionally didn’t answer it because you don’t know the reason maybe because everyday you on TV , in your streets , hear from relatives “ war on Irak is goooooood “ so why should I doubt about that !! 100 box question who said that if you are told enough times the same thing you will believe like it was your own idea?? do not want to overload you with to many new concepts in one day ( print my post , enlarge it , read it in bed , stick it on your bathroom mirror , paste it on your school books , and on your mother ass , you’ll see it’s gonna sound as logical as basic math). The difference is that , I’m told as you are 100 times the same shit , but I got several sources , and instantly everything seem much more dubious, and even totally wrong , Until you feel manipulated. But who wants to manipulate me then ? Seek the interest you’ll find the bastard behind the lie. An other interesting phenomenon is entertainment . Some people said , what are you talking about simba !! this is a game , we should’nt talk about politics here and bother with those strange ideas. The problem that quickly comes to mind is WHEN ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT POLITICS ---------------------Å• in white house , congress , European parliament , ... So when are you going to talk about politics , in the bus ,alone in your car , at work , at school , in front of tv , while making sport , in shops , in restaurant , WHEN ? No politics is in every molecules of your life, in every finger that touch your keyboard, on every site you visit. most of you just aren’t used to notice it to why , we are influenced and we are too busy thinking about pleasure that we forget to think about what’s really happening around us , that’s true for Irak but also for politics in every country. You are human beings try thinking by yourself, politics is for everybody that’s democracy, do they often ask your opinion, and when you give your opinion do they respect it, and if your opinion has the majority do they respect it either?? And if they don’t respect your opinion is it still democracy?? So Simba is saying again and again a lot of stupid things, I should go get me a good dinner, watch tv, smoke a p.. , have ten beers , play computer until I forget who I am , tomorrow I will go to work , during my work dream about games , girls , new mp3 player , some of these things you will get , most of them no , you will all your life run after other consumption product , (then perhaps suffer from depression , suicide , disease ) , days after days , weeks after weeks , years after years , you will use more energy than 10 (100, 1000) people of other countries , same for ground resources , and water . One day your government will say , we don’t have any more enough drinkable water , petrol or the level of the ocean has risen of 5 cm , I’m not talking about an earthquake or a volcano DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY POINT , WE ARE RENSPONSIBLE OF WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN , AND NOBODY CAN DO IT ALONE. But simba is still wrong those markings , that’s just for fun , it’s just telling us in a way that Irak war is good , and justify the following wars but that’s just ok , because I’m a very selfish person . When you moddle, texture, config ,make a mission , an ofp movie it is your creation ( I know what I’m talking about) , you aren’t consuming , don’t you feel more satisfied to play with a 100 hour made addon , than with an other person addon , don’t you prefer eating the dinner you made in a hour instead of a Chinese food delivery ?? This is pleasure, consumption isn’t and like a old American said ,†harder the way to get something is ( to talk a bit like yoda) , the more pleasure you’ll get from itâ€. MODDING COMMUNITY HAS TO STAY PURE FROM ADVERTISING, AND UNFAIR POLITICAL CONSIDERATION. This community is also my community , it is not because I don’t talk much on the forum that I’m not attentive to what’s happening, and I do care, I read often “we aren’t like these kids of CS “, because we drive tanks , fly heli , and create mission , no I don’t think so the reason for me , and that’s I always thought is that we are people who always want more freedom , that what we are in ofp , that’s not what we are in life , We are the dogs of transnational companies , some believe it others doesn’t , some are dogs other not . it's up to you. http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0807002348.01

About what inq wrote on his tanks. Reactions are somehow very strange , i posted a message that had a real political meaning, i was criticising the way people see the this war and what do you answer "this topic contains no political discussion" : I know that INQ but what i do know also is that the first person who made politics in this topic is you. " you don't like it you don't use it " : so if somebody writes on a tank for ex " die stupid american" you will probably appreciate and say nothing , just not downloading the addon. But nobody really complaint about the content of my post, so is it true , are you agree with what i've said , or does it just not deserve a reply ? are you for war on irak and for what reason , please explain me I still don't understand. for what reason do I support war on Irak. *WMD no *democratie no , you kidding me *petrol maybee , but why do you support that , do you work in a petroleum company , or does the american economy worth more than anything ?? *military budget *sunny holydays, tourism *want to learn arab *psoreasis *looking for a child to adopt , shoud be plenty now p.s1 sorry for in a way hijacking this thread but it is ontopic. p.s2 red oct , thank for your reply , that was the only interesting answer ,but doesn't change anything. simba.

"i still vote for "eat pork or die" in both english and arabic " would you say that to a jew ?? I really wonder what would be the reaction of the jewish part of the community. Let's not be offtopic i'd like to have your opinions on several things on offtopic Irak tread forum PS. this tank looks great even if i'm not going to use the inscriptions ( except simpsons one)

that's pretty good texturing job INQ IS FIGHTING 4 WORLD PEACE "today bagdad tomorrow Paris" : what is it supposed to mean ?? french people will appreciate (i'm not french for your info) "angry american " : we pump your petrol and colonise your country that's why we are angry "go away" : sorry i'm in my country "time to die " : that's great poetry this is not funny if you want to write stuff on your tanks you should choose at least neutral things since some of those those sentences are actually used in Irak. Im not the F*** spamming your are going totally crazy for writing those things , what are you thinking about.

thanks that's really helping

that's what we are all waiting for ,something better than vbs1 but not looking like far cry , i just hope they will not change too much the style of the game i don't want sunny islands with palm trees and stuff what i love in this game is the way it looks , this green atmosphere .

looks beautifull , very nice firing effect i wonder how it works.

my goal is absolutely not to cause trouble in this forum or to attack ofpeditor ,i recognize that his job in irak is different than the job of security guards or business man and if he really will be rescuing people I agree to say that my words were to strong against him and i apology. But i want to make something very clear to you and i would be delighted to hear you peacefull opinion about the war in Irak, the usa army and the private companies that are working over there to spoil these people and not to establish democraty or find Mass destruction weapons , I was very disapointed by a community that i thought cultered and fair (in most case at least) but didn't heard lot's of remarks in this forum about this war. Now will the people who insult me justify their words because they seem pretty sure about what they are saying as they didn't give me any argument or are saying that I'm making the troublemaker. I probably making a bit af politics maybee it's not very well seen on this forum but i don't care you know , as people are dying for dirty reasons i can do this little thing for them . simba

sputnik : I'd be very happy you explain me your point of vieuw about those things , many people are interested in reason the reason why young people go fight in Irak.

excuse me but in what kind of company are you ? Because I 'd like to say that if you are working for one of these private company wish are working in irak and killing people who are fighting for their freedom we shall not respect you for what you are doing tha't a very bad decision. But thanks to people like you some people will swim in petrol tomorrow , I hope at least you get good money for this.

some stuff you could inmprove - you could make a kind of rpg gunner shock dust effect would be great and realistic i think -when a chopper fires rochets of missiles you can see almost no smoke but if you watch a video showing mi-24, ka-50,... firing there a kind of long and compact trail of smoke following the missile if it doesn't add to much lag and look good it would be great too.(make it louder too would be much more frightening) - for the next update please use csla choppers and why not replacing all units by new , it would certainly enlarge the file but it's a bit annoying to play old units with new effects ,there are plenty of possibilities to replace t55,t80,t72,a10,ah1(by the not totally finished super cobra of NZXSHADOWS), a new shilka ,... maybee only change the textures would be a big step forward. -for the rockets i think it should look more like an explosion with fire and not only smoke maybee with with a little shock wave. that's my very little contribution otherwise really great effects , the best on the market and i really don't see why the other mods are not taking them i don't think anyway it could be improved a lot. thanks a lot

Hi hadow you are showing pictures of a su-25 right ? can we espect that in a near future with a splendid new russian chopper or what? I also wanted to show you a very interesting plane/ boat that you probably already know ,for a skilled team like RHS it would be a good challenge. what do you think ?ekranoplane
