He was working for AGSI at the time so it sticks.

Geez all I asked was I thought an innocent question. I shall add "Start Wars" to my repertoire.

Harpoon is a great game even with warts, but it will be nice to see in the groove improvements continue.

Game seems more stable now at any rate.

RedMike,

It can be fun as long as you keep a sense of humor about everything and remember it's just the internet.

Glad to have you around. Besides, I'm a firm believer that "Not Starting Wars" is the actual skill.

Don't worry. They'll be back soon enough with the next lunar cycle.

There, for the briefest of moments, I did dare to hope that things had changed for the better with Hillier's departure. Unfortunately, my usual skepticism has now returned. The removal of all the "Hilliers" from the Harpoon world will not change anything when the arrogance is institutionalized from the very top with ridiculous beta test NDAs and attempts to ban communications.

AGSI certainly seems to think that it is some kind of 'privilege' for their paying customers to provide free volunteer work testing or to participate on an IRC channel. Nothing could be further from the truth with this warped perspective. Both of these media are simply means to an end; a means to provide AGSI with the information it so desperately needs to fix their game into some basic level of function. Restricting those means of communication is not going to hinder Bug Discussion one iota. It's just going to prevent AGSI from fixing them.

This kind of thinking just re-validates my decision to avoid anything solely controlled by AGSI. Looks like the only changes are those mandated and enforced by Matrix.

I feel more comfortable entering data into a system not controlled by AGSI, as I've previously stated to Mr. Gilman. Past experience has shown me that this is the best way to proceed.

It's your tendency to drag on arguments and thinly veil your insults that gets you labeled as divisive Herman. You're certainly not alone in that in this community and so we have to frequently ask everyone to return to their corners. The asking is often enforced by moderation or, in the extreme, banning.

Matrix and AGSI will continue to hear all complaints brought to this forum. Our willingness to engage the customer is not limited by our attitude but our resources. This is mandated by all parties involved or it wouldn't work.

And only implemented where Matrix actually has control.

But, hey. AGSI is free to continue shooting itself in the head, foot, or any other region of the body it chooses. It's a free country.

Removal of all the Hilliers huh...

Dale did alot for Harpoon and frankly contributed to a great hobby for a lot of years. I don't know why Rusty or Matrix isn't acknowledging that but the hundreds of us that have enjoyed the game over the years certainly know it and thats really what counts. (So you know Dale!)

Dale and our legacy with 3.6.x is great..how's yours with 3.7 and above? Fix your game guys instead of politiking with Herman's botnet at the expense of guys who have helped you, directly or indirectly. You might win a few sales back.

Thanks

Coming from another "Hillier" who was also removed...

I'll certainly acknowledge those contributions.

Alright, so to set it all straight...

Dale was not 'removed', he went to sea and got better pay which he deserves.
Dale's contribution to Harpoon has been critical and I owe him a great deal as he helped me enormously.
Dale is not dead, buried, or otherwise gone. He can even defend himself if he wants to get involved in this conversation.
Dale still plays Harpoon and I work with him on a daily basis.
Dale is the biggest naval nerd I know.
Dale is probably relaxing right now as this sort of thing is no longer his duty.

Thanks
