Am I being selfish? Vote!
« on: January 14, 2010, 02:29:07 AM »
Now, without further explanation this poll would seem ridiculous and very selfish, snobbish, noobish, unfair, and several other negative things.

My reason for asking to play the Beta is that I am leaving for USMC boot camp on the 19th of this month.

I have been very excited about this mod and was naturally quite disappointed to find that it will be released to the public two days after I ship. 

I understand that this poll is completely out of line and I don't expect anything to come of it but I still would like some opinions on this. 

( Honestly, I don't think I would vote 'yes' for someone else.  Why would I believe that a person who is about to be trained to kill would spend his time setting up and online poll?)

Note: I will not vote in my own poll.

I would like to say that one I have believed that you have been a nice person on this forum and I seemed like an ass to you sorry about that but you did make some comments that I did not agree with (living in Texas I'm getting better at hiding my own views) but I do have a soft spot for the people serving in the Armed Forces so I personally believe yes he should

I'd wait and play it when you get back. That way it will have a few bug fixes, balance changes and updates under its belt and you'll be getting a kickass first-experience. If you get it now there will be a big question mark regarding the mod's presentation which might even turn you off.

Actually, I'd just screw the corps and come to Canada. That way you can play the mod on release day.

     Normally pleas to DL a mod before a public release are selfish and impatient. But considering you are going to join the armed forces, i say yes. You have a chance of never coming back, and even though your copy might have a few bugs, at least you got to enjoy it without waiting four years when CoH 2 comes out.

Wow, I am surprised at the positive feedback I am getting!

More details to answer various questions.

boot camp is 12 weeks long he can play when he gets out of basic  your schooling depends on what your taking but u can use lap top  while in school.

It is 13 weeks now, but that is not a big deal.  Also the thing about the laptop is usually true, just not always.

I'd wait and play it when you get back. That way it will have a few bug fixes, balance changes and updates under its belt and you'll be getting a kickass first-experience. If you get it now there will be a big question mark regarding the mod's presentation which might even turn you off.

I would agree, but I am not a patient man.  Everybody else at boot is worrying about the DIs while I think only of missing the EF mod.  Also, the Marines are volunteer only, running away would be kinda silly as I was not drafted.

Furthermore, it would seem that several of you have the wrong idea as to what I am doing.  Even though it will hurt my cause I must be honest. 

I am not going to be killed at boot camp.

My specific MOS will have me training for up to a year or more.  I will not be put into a position to die before I play EF.  I am just so darned excited that I don't want to wait 1/4 of a year because I miss the release by two days.

 Not true. You could still die at boot camp, dude :)
 Get eaten by a toilet, or something. I voted yes you
 should have it ;) - But it's not like my vote counts :(

 *** Otherwise, Russians would have a T34 BG call-in *** :)
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

If you could get it just one or two days earlier then we'd have to give it to all those people claiming to be disabled, ill or whatever. I didn't actually know that there are so many gamers having deadly diseases before I started creating mods.
And thus I voted 'no'.

-cope.

Don't worry, I've long ago stopped caring when people poop at, on or near my parties.
Oh the stories I could tell...
