Its a game and some people like to talk crap like Pelton...IMO grow some thick skin and move on. He adds some good commentary on the game at times and has a tendency to report not very accurate "facts" at times but overall many of his comments have helped the game over time.

He can also be cruel in his comments, not only to the players buts also to 2by3

In french we say:
"ne mords pas la main qui te nourrit"

Which means
Do not bite the hand which feeds you

Unfortunatly, he did it...

I'd hope he turns the page, controls his negative emotions and is able to join the forum again.

Status: offline 		What you say is true,it comes out in his post his passion for the game, although his games of late
seem to be exactly the same. I will admit that my first couple of moves are the same, but after that I like to try different things, but then my object is different & that is to keep Germany in the war till 45.
But,I cant help think of the players we have lost because of Pelton comments.
I played last year a Russian player who contacted me by PM. who refuses to post, because he is afraid of the response he may get.

So what does it say about the forum?

One thing I have noticed lately is that a lot of newbies have been posting questions, which is a good thing.

Having said that I fear Pelton will not be returning to this forum anytime soon. Maybe not at all.

I am from NY we always put in our 2 cents.

We all know the rules on forums and what matrix punishment was.

2 months.

Sillyflower is driving 90 mph in a 50 mph and gets a ticket.

The fine is $500 dollars and his licence is suspended for 30 days.

Silly pays the fine and goes to pick up his licence, but the Judge says he has to pay another $5000 or its stays suspended.

Just guessing, but most people would not think that has much of anything to do with the "rules" or the law.

Pelton is a bonehead for sure, but changing the punishment after it has been served is like the kettle calling the pot black.

Be nice to see what demands 2by3 is asking of Pelton.

I say allot less then all the old timers who left that discovered the game was not playable after 43.

Thanks to allot of hard work by morveal and his team and play testers like Pelton it is playable now to 45.

That's very important for someone like me who only plays H v AI.

It really sucked to find out the game I had 100+ hours in was screwed up because of swapping bugs. My German army disappeared as 1 million men got stuck in manpower pool.

I almost quit playing, but I did not and paid money for WitW because I saw morveal and company fixing the game.

So 2by3 should not be biting the hand that feeds them.

You should only insult people who can defend themselves and insults can get you baned also I hear.

But I hoping this forum is not like NY, if your not in the right party your free game.

Status: offline 		I agree. The punishment once served should be enough. Pelton knows he is on his last chance if he returns. Give him his chance. Or go public and explain why it's now a permanent ban.

after–action report

noun | af·ter–ac·tion report


Popularity: Bottom 10% of words


Definition of after–action report

1

: a detailed critical summary or analysis of a past event (such as a military action, but not limited to) made for the purposes of
re-assessing decisions and considering possible alternatives for future reference

Looks like it fits the definition as a AAR, I say leave it here

Pelton might be the worst imaginable customer :-), but his case is neither solved nor forgetten.
I would strongly advise to react in a proper way.

Status: offline 		In short, I'd been hoping to protect him from himself. After any ban, for anyone, we ask the person to agree to abide by the forum rules before they are allowed back on the forum. This is normally a formality. In Pelton's case, this instead lead to a whole new discussion as he does not accept that he did anything to earn the ban and thinks he did not violate the forum rules. I've explained to him that when he comes back, it will be his last chance and the next step will be a permanent ban. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to register and I've given him more time to think things over. As of today, he's now resumed his personal attacks, this time on the Steam forum and is going around calling himself a WITE/WITW developer, rather than a tester. I don't think this will end well, unfortunately.
