Some weeks
ago there was an RAF imposter on the zone causing a bit of trouble. A sysop
was called in and my wife (Huntress) made the comment to the sysop, +iluvbn_mom,
in the main chat that the person was an RAF imposter, the sysop promptly
gagged my wife for a personal attack. The imposter laughed and laughed
and was not even spoken to even though he had called my wife Cuntress,
which was in the chat buffer and was able to be read by the sysop.
Tonight my
wife logged on and was greeted by the usual hellooooooooooooooooo's to
which, as everyone does, she replied. She was then gagged by sysop, +doerden,
for being disruptive and flooding. Well it seems to me that these sysops
must be new and therefore very zealous in their jobs. Other sysops actually
come into Ridge Runners and say helloooooooooooooo to various people. They
like it because everyone is nice and friendly and there are no hassles.
I think it is about time that the Z Team got their collective acts together
and defined what is inappropriate instead of each sysop acting on how they
feel at the time. SW_Anzac, who, in the real world is a newpaper editor
in the Rupert Murdoch Group in Australia and has been itching to do an
editorial on the way the Microsoft Zone is run. Seems the sysops are playing
right into his hands.
Sysops need
to remember they are there in a voluntary role to help, not to intimidate.
Maybe a wake up call is what some of them need. If not, SW_Anzac is going
to have a great story.

After a few
harsh words between WA Squadron and Shadow Squadron, a date and time was
agreed upon for a best of 3 challenge. WA won the first game 15-14 and
the second game 15-10. So obviously a 3rd game didn't need to be played.
Shadows motto is "killing two at a time" I guess WA had better change
their motto to "killing three at a time" lol

A guestbook
has been added to the main page, funny thing, people were quite happy to
sign the old book, even though it took half an hour to load, but don't
want to post on the message board.

There's always
a catch, the unlimited downloads in the Optus deal is correct, but you
only get 300mb upload, then have to pay by the meg. As I said, there's
always a catch.
Looks like
I'm sticking with dial up anyway because they have no plans to offer cable
in my part of this 1.3 million people city. You gotta wonder.

Please read
the message board re: security.
Good news
for Australian internet users, Optus in partnership with Excite@home are
in the process of offering cable internet connections for $59.95 a month,
unlimited downloads. The catch is the $400.00 setup cost but is still better
than Telstra's $49.95 a month for a lousy 100 meg.
Check it out
at Optus@home

it , go to the MultiSwap page and read the instructions.

Southern Warbirds
squadron sadly accepts the resignation of SW_Capatani. Unfortunately work
and family commitment means Capatani can no longer spent the time on the
zone. SW thanks Capatani for all the time and effort he has put into the
squad.
I was on the
zone last night, when a real dork named EatLead_2 came on, he abused SW_Duke
first, and ended up challenging me to a game, he used an F-16 jet , so
I used a P-51. I shot him down twice without any damage from him, he then
said he had computer problems and exited the game. Out in the main chat
he called me gay, called Huntress (my wife) a lesbian, said he'd firebomb
my house and kill my kids. Most people in the ridge sprang to Huntresses
defence immediately. RCAF_Duckhunter was very verbal in coming to her defence,
and I thank him for it and would do the same for him in an instant. The
end result was Eatlead apologising, which I did not accept.
I guess there
will always be idiots around, but I for one, will not sit back and let
them say what they want without reply. Duckhunter, thanks mate, I owe you
one.

Happy New
Year everyone.
