Noone hates you, you cant follow simple guidelines as admin plain and simple. No it was not only her choice, you forget that I read logs, receive most complaints about admin abuse etc etc. Being a full F|A member is a privilege and is not offered to everyone that applies. Unfortunately you fall in the category of useless admins. You had plenty of time in your trial to familiarize yourself with how and when to use admin. You might have used your admin but most of the time it was for all the wrong reasons. One last thing since you know what everyone thinks can you guess what I am  thinking right now, if you guess right I will let you back in the clan.

Good luck,
Yours trully

Hello all and I apologize for my lack of activity here. Recently I have been involved in much greater activities (finding a job, still looking, and also researching the new Health Care Bill). What i have found so far (actually reading a 2,000 + page legal document) has really scared the living day lights out of me and I would like to share some of the contents of this new piece of Legislation that has just recently passed into Law that will soon start affecting every American Citizen.

The following has come Directly from the new Health Care Bill with page and line numbers for easy reference:

• Page 30 Sec 123 of HC bill: THERE WILL BE A GOVT COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benefits you get.
  
• Page 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill: YOUR HEALTH CARE IS RATIONED!!!
  
• Page 42 of HC Bill: The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your HC benefits for you. You have no choice!
  
• Page 50 Section 152 in HC bill: HC will be provided to ALL non-US citizens, illegal or otherwise.
  
• Page 58 HC Bill: Govt will have real-time access to individuals' finances & a 'National ID Health card' will be issued! (Papers please!)
  
• Page 59 HC Bill lines 21-24: Govt will have direct access to your bank accounts for elective funds transfer. (Time for more cash and carry)
  
• Page 65 Sec 164: Is a payoff subsidized plan for retirees and their families in unions & community organizations: (ACORN).
  
• Page 84 Sec 203 HC bill: Govt mandates ALL benefit packages for private HC plans in the 'Exchange.'
  
• Page 85 Line 7 HC Bill: Specifications of Benefit Levels for Plans -- The Govt will ration your health care!
  
• Page 91 Lines 4-7 HC Bill: Govt mandates linguistic appropriate services. (Translation: illegal aliens.)
  
• Page 95 HC Bill Lines 8-18: The Govt will use groups (i.e. ACORN & Americorps to sign up individuals for Govt HC plan.
  
• Page 85 Line 7 HC Bill: Specifications of Benefit Levels for Plans. (AARP members - your health care WILL be rationed!)
  
• Page 102 Lines 12-18 HC Bill: Medicaid eligible individuals will be automatically enrolled in Medicaid. (No choice.)
  
• Page 12 4 lines 24-25 HC: No company can sue GOVT on price fixing. No "judicial review" against Govt monopoly.
  
• Page 127 Lines 1-16 HC Bill: Doctors/ American Medical Association - The Govt will tell YOU what salary you can make.
  
• Page 145 Line 15-17: An Employer MUST auto-enroll employees into public option plan. (NO choice!)
  
• Page 126 Lines 22-25: Employers MUST pay for HC for part-time employees AND their families. (Employees shouldn't get excited about this as employers will be forced to reduce its work force, benefits, and wages/salaries to cover such a huge expense.)
  
• Page 149 Lines 16-24: ANY Employer with payroll 401k & above who does not provide public option will pay 8% tax on all payroll! (See the last comment in parenthesis.)
  
• Page 150 Lines 9-13: A business with payroll between $251K & $401K who doesn't provide public option will pay 2-6% tax on all payroll.
  
• Page 167 Lines 18-23: ANY individual who doesn't have acceptable HC according to Govt will be taxed 2.5% of income.
  
• Page 170 Lines 1-3 HC Bill: Any NONRESIDENT Alien is exempt from individual taxes. (Americans will pay. Like always)
  
• Page 195 HC Bill: Officers & employees of the GOVT HC Admin. will have access to ALL Americans' finances and personal records. (I guess so they can 'deduct' their fees)
  
• Page 203 Line 14-15 HC: "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax." (Yes, it really says that! A 'fee' instead)
  
• Page 239 Line 14-24 HC Bill: Govt will reduce physician services for Medicaid Seniors. (Low-income and the poor are affected.)
  
• Page 241 Line 6-8 HC Bill: Doctors: It doesn't matter what specialty you have trained yourself in -- you will all be paid the same! (Just TRY to tell me that's not Socialism!)
  
• Page 253 Line 10-18: The Govt sets the value of a doctor's time, profession, judgment, etc. (Literally-- the value of humans.)
  
• Page 265 Sec 1131: The Govt mandates and controls productivity for "private" HC industries.

I do not wish to bring politics here to this clan or forums but I feel that everyone affected by this should have some idea of what is actually in it and how it will affect them personally. Therefore I will make no comment on my own personal political agendas and will leave this up to you to decide and form your own opinions.

I would argue that because of how well defined the attacking or defending proccess is in Rush, that it easily gets one-sided.

Teams that don't know what to do, or the majority doesn't know what to do, or do well, will get overwhelmed by a team that's even a sliver more competent. This can lead to frustration, and a reduced server population. I've seen a general spike in populations with servers that host Conquest, as the gamemode does not force you to attack the same points over and over again, and instead lets you choose from multiple different targets and paths to reach it. Also, the points are far enough apart in Conquest that defenders cannot defend two points at once without spreading out, allowing more room for attackers to get a foothold, and forcing defenders to up their game instead of just overwhelm by better fortification. This leads to a greater amount of captures, which gives the illusion, or reality, of accomplishment, which is what players want when they play a game.

In addition, because of the rigid defensible points in Rush, the defender has the advantage of destroying all advancing cover, effectivly nulifying all hopes of the attacker even getting near a com-point. It also promotes the defenders to let one point get taken to better defend the remaining point.

Conquest does not reward said tactic, as it would put your team at a disadvantage to defend only 1 point and let the other team take the remaining 2. If anything, it rewards more spontaneous gameplay, which leads to more variation in play styles, more movement around the map, and a much more hectic battle. Both defense and offense is needed to win a Conquest match, which allows players who like to defend to play the way they like, while allowing the more aggressive players to play offensivly, without having to switch teams or wait for the next round, which is a major downfall with Rush.

Rush can end without even seeing the entire map, Conquest puts the whole map into play and rewards you for going around it.

I will say that if one team is competent enough, they can bottleneck the other team into the spawn in Conquest, but that's the same for Rush as well. Both modes suffer from that downfall. However, I believe Conquest can offer more replayability than Rush, and allow a wider variety of tactics to be used, which intices a wider variety of players to join.

Yes. Only if you give us some Chipotle stuff!  

lol BF2 BC netcode blows! All lagz around 2 March we are getting server for it Get your gears ready.

The marty kick seemed to be working fine when I was on there earlier this morning.

What cod server? Whats hackers game name and ip? These things are always necessary in stopping a cheater.

Demo???

I'll wait for the new Iphone 4G or the Windows phone 7.

I am usually available via xfire or vent almost all day, at the very least I can drop in issue kick or ban before I have to return to what I am doing.

on that note, if I am called in to issue a kick or ban due to no one else being available, and I get the same complaint from multiple members, do I have to wait around until I see the issue and warn 3 times, or can I kick upon first view of the offense after it is called to my attention?
