ORIGINAL: JCL quote:
even if JCL is (that's short for job-control-language on IBM mainframes) I would doubt anybody, maybe even GG, can really fix a GG product if it's broken. Charles: I actually have a name, and bastardizing is such a fitting conclusion to a horrendous week regarding BoB/BTR, that I really should have expected it. Official title of the new release is "Gary Grigsby's From Eagle Day to Bombing the Reich". Both iterations as they now stand are XP compliant. Aircraft Graphics are being redone by a professional graphic artist, in a similar style to WITP. We have some very exceptionally talented people involved in the project from both their BoB and BTR experience, but also their invaluable capacity for applying historical research to gameplay from the UK, France, Australia, Austria, Germany, and the US (forgive me if I forgot anyone's location). And they bring to the table an assortment of skills and werewithal most likely unrivalled by any other game, except possibly WITP. We have the backing and motive force of David Heath, which is an fantastic asset- I guess you'd have to know him to really understand the import of that statement. Keith Brors is involved, and has already contributed greatly to the project- I suppose you'd actually have to see his code to really appreciate what he can do from the game engine technical standpoint. We have Joel Billings involved in the project- the motive force behind SSI, and the ensuing creation of a new gaming sub-set... who knows where we would all be if SSI and Joel hadn't started it all. And we have Gary Grigsby- do I need say more? Now off to go buy a new monitor. Best to you, Jean-Claude Well sorry "Jean-Claude" but seeing as how I don't know you personally, nor likely ever will, I think it a bit fresh to refer to you by what I suppose you might approve of (Jean-Claude) and seeing as how you never granted permission for such, nor chose that as your logonid; I chose 'jcl'. A lot of people use the logonid until told otherwise, if you hadn't noticed. Yes, it must be a rough week for you, as to take what I said as a bastardization is a major stretch. Besides, isn't calling me "Charles" instead of Charles 22, a bit like what you're accusing me of? I don't mind really, as it is a minor difference. I'm not even too bothered with "C22" seeing as how it saves a lot of typing. But I hope you can see where I'm coning from. If cutting to my logonid to C22, or Chuck, or Charles is a bastardization, and it's not in my opinion, then using the very logonid you have, in it's entireity, surely is not. You chose it; I didn't. If you want to be addressed as a specific thing, then why not let your signature and logonid agree? And yes, there is the matter of me taking your initials and stating a very common computerease term alongside it. No slight intended ol' boy. It was nothing more than a "isn't that neat" sort of comment. Anyway, thanks for the information, as seeing this new forum title had me wondering, and I'm glad to see it looks like some treatment will be in the works. I'm not too sure I'll be doing much on this forum anymore, despite the apparent good news, as I am getting a bit gunshy that so many of my comments, which when they aren't of the stiff as a board variety, come off as insults. I have better ways to spend my time. Thanks for your time. [:)]
