Why I miss old clickies: a lament...

[The Coil]

A few green or red collectable buttons mean nothing.

I know...I pretty much argued this in the first post of the thread. Maybe you should go back and read it.

Incidentally, why the heck do we keep ladder stats...they "mean nothing". Why do you design scenarios? Seems pretty pointless in the grand scheme of things. That's the problem with the "I can't believe you care about that" argument...you can keep going til you hit "curing cancer" or "world peace". Everything else is, by comparison, insignificant.

Anybody else get bent out of shape enough to leave over it? Or to complain incessantly about it? WELL...maybeeeeeeeeeee COIL!!!! :hissy:

But most of us just go on with or without COIL...:rolleyes:

I'm not leaving over it. Never said I was. This is a strange use of "incessantly". I was just observing a function the clickie system played. I don't think I've really complained much about the system at all.

I would hope you "go on with or without" me. I would be surprised to find out anyone here would feel differently. Have I given the impression that I think I'm indispensible? Sorry if I have...

So, time to move on. Is this what we spend our time discussing? What your reputation looks like?

No, we've been talking about how the clickie system used to work, and how it works now, and the various effects that's produced. Read more carefully. I don't think anyone has expressed any real concern about their reputation score (except maybe Leto, but with lots of caveats and tongue-in-cheekness, I thought). (I believe I addressed this earlier...you really should read the earlier posts in this thread...there's some good stuff in there)

If that's the case then you have to ask yourself why you're here in the first place and CM doesn't seem to be very high on that list from where I sit.

You've got to be kidding. I think you take your CM a bit too seriously. Are you really questioning if my commitment to CM is strong enough to warrant my being here? I'm here because it's fun. I play CM because it's fun. I'm sorry if I'm not committed enough to join you in building better life for us all through constructing a Combat Mission Utopia...you will, as you say, have to go on without me. I wish you luck. It's strange to me that you seem to view Combat Mission as some sort of high purpose and calling, that should only be enjoyed by the truly dedicated, but that's fine by me. What I really don't get is why it would bother you if I don't. I think I missed the "are you committed enough to post on this board" quiz when I registered.
