Heh this is either remarkable stupidity or really good flame bait... First off, I am God. The sooner you accept that, the happier you'll be. Secondly, somebody who cannot even post a text message properly really shouldn't be talking trash about Usenet policies. Get a real news client or learn not to stutter when you click "send". Third, although I freely admit that I fuxing sux at Bolo, I've earned the right to talk about it after 3.5 years of playing and 1 year of running the Internet Bolo League. I've spent hundreds of hours rewriting and HTML-izing the FAQ as a service to the Bolo community, which regretfully includes you. Have you even bothered to look at the URL you so freely criticized? YOU on the other hand, have the distinction of contributing to this newsgroup by attempting to distribute the so-called PC Bolo clone "Guilty" without its author's permission and clamouring on and on about PC Bolo for which you were neither an official beta tester nor have any clue about what is going on. Allow me to quote a choice passage from 1 of your posts dated 4/22/96: "I used to be one of the few with the ftp address to get PC Bolo (in late 95) and since then they have moved the site. I was never told where it went, and they don't respond to my e-mail." Don't you recognize when you are being ignored because you are annoying or perhaps more appropriately IRRELEVANT? Bwahahahahah. OK, having said all that, I will attempt to clue you in. All of the above is irrelevant, here are the facts. Almost every Usenet newsgroup such as rec.games.bolo has an official FAQ. This document is maintained by unpaid volunteer suckers in an attempt to head off idiot questions like "When are we going to get PC Bolo?!?" When newbies come to a newsgroup, they are supposed to lurk for a while, read the FAQ, get a sense of what is considered appropriate discussion for the group, then finally post anything they have to say. (You clearly failed to do both of the above.) Each group's FAQ is periodically reposted (weekly or monthly) to the group itself, as well as to related newsgroups and news.answers, a centralized archive at rtfm.mit.edu, and 16 other places. This is a thankless pain in the ass job which was previously held by Cory L. Scott aka Kimboho. With his blessings and the approval of the Usenet FAQ administrators, I have now assumed this burden because the old FAQ had not been updated for years and was getting woefully out of date. So fuck you. Go read a newsgroup where you can make a meaningful contribution, and leave us the bloody hell alone.

Matthew, The people who post things in this newsgroup usually do so because they know what's going on. For instance, however much you or anyone else dislikes the fact that Bolo is currently a Mac only game, Jolo's information that PC Bolo will not be released for a while, if ever, seems to be correct. You bitchin' in public will not change this. In your posts on r.g.b you have repeatedly asked various authors of PC Bolo clones please contact you. The reason Jolo maintains the FAQ is becuase he talks to these people and generally knows what's going on. Why do they talk to him? Becuase he has done things for the Bolo community apart from spew for useless flame on r.g.b. If you want to be treated at all seriously by anyone on r.g.b you'll have to do something similar. i.e. do something to supply your own content - if people like it you'll get respect for it. Stealing someone elses content - be it web pages or programs doesn't count. I missed something. These is one other way to be taken seriously on r.g.b - it's to play internet Bolo well. The Bolo community seems to support trial by combat. If you and your second want to challenge Jolo and his second to a game of Internet Bolo I'm sure there'd be interest in the outcome. \x/ill :-} P.S.

Jolo may be a newbie in some of our eyes, but that makes you a little spermdrop that got spilled on the sheet before penetration. And if he's stupid enough to take on all the work and redo the FAQ and store/host it for the world let him! Wait, that was s'posed to be a compliment... What I really meant to say is... If he has nothing better to do in his miserable life than sit around and waste away in front of his Mac putting the FAQ out for non-appreciative weasels like you... no wait..that doesn't sound right either.

If some idiot beats me in a game of bolo, I'm not going to instantly stop thinking they're an idiot. I'll just think of them as an idiot that is good at bolo. While the arguement "I win 99% of my games so listen to what I have to say" holds a lot of water in strategic discussions about the game. It may even hold some weight when talking about adding new features, or ethical issues about net play, but It doesn't mean jack when talking about legal issues on PC bolo, or any other debate on here outside of the game play itself. I always thought that trial by combat should be a 1v1 kind of thing, but I suppose your counting on the fact that Matthew won't be able to find a respectable ally and jolo will.
