This has reminded me.. I should get CoH.. But maybe steer clear of this thread

But from a completely imparcial view.. Mac.. You're being a real ass, and Felipe is making perfect sense to me.. and Waff, buddy.. You know CoH is a game and your coming accross a bit propaganda-y...

MickaelJulliard

We don't appeal to everybody. If you feel we come across a bit too dogmatic then we are probably not the organization for you. In my opinion, ignorance is man's greatest inhumanity. Mac is ignorant, not that it will do any good but playing the Don Quixiote facade every now and then and fighting the internet trolls is something everyone in this thread is guilty of....in the end its all an utter waste of time. Cheers.

I wasn't using this thread as a war ground.

I was merely correcting his statement, the same way you did on ur prior post.

FelipeInside

I don't belive you are a 116 member nor would you likely be a good fit for the organiztion. To reiterate the post.

I believe you are being very disrespectful and taking things a tad too serious.

I have been a member of this forum since 2003, so don't come on here with a level 5 and start thinking what or what not I can be a good fit for. If that's the way you normally treat people when you advertise, it's a MIRACLE you actually get people to join.

First of all RECRUITING and ADVERTISING ur clan is AGAINST GameSpot rules, so UR the one doing the wrong... but it's OK, I won't tell.

Second, respect other posters and have fun, ur taking ur clan like it's the only thing u have in ur life (probably is).

You obviously would not be a good fit for the 116 as for some reason you feel you deserve to be respected because you have been a member of this forum for 8 years. That is fine you pride your membership here, but respect is generally something earned and you have done nothing to earn mine. If you were a responsible leader you would have approached the problem differently, you may have even shown some respect on your part...some discretion...such as whatt battles to fight and what ones not to. What I find really odd about your arguement is you accuse me of only having the 116 but take great pride in being a member of the gamespot forum. I fully realize I am a leader of a ficticious unit that fights on imaginary battlefields....what worries me is you associate some sort of moral highground with being a long term forum member of gamespot...put that in to context for a moment.

I really hope you guys are better at Company of Heroes than you are at World of Tanks. You guys embarrass yourselves quite often after the whole FUBAR thing down in Egypt.theafiguy

We have ranked in the top 10 in clan wars various times..but that is not our primary focus as CW does not really reflect our values...that is, its a 7 day a week game and the top clans generally pay their members in gold and thats not interesting for us as it causes an administrative burden and the reward is not very interesting.

We have also placed in finals and semi-finals of various WoT competitions such as Ural Steel.

In the end what matters most is if the members who are part of the 116 have a good time and accomplish the goals they set forth as wargamers not those goals dictated by wargaming.net.

We are deployed in WoT on both the EU and North American Servers, as well as several other wargames and an mmo. We have 350 active members and another few hundred semi active, who for the most part are mature and friendly and happy to be a part of the 116.

If its not your cup of tea then thats fine, we are not looking to please everyone.

Cheers,

Waff

NOT DEFENDING GERMAN ARMY BACK THEN but What are you talking about mate?

Do you even know how many wars Germany won in WW2?

They nearly took over the planet.

FelipeInside

Just to be clear Felipe is not a represenative of the 116. His opinions and asserttions as in the same case as Mac's are his alone. I would suggest you both find other threads to discuss on as this is a recruiting thread not a war ground for some ideological debate. The official 116 response to Mac is on the first page of this thread at the bottom.

1. You have incorrectly identified the soldier and the tanks as Nazi when in fact they are Wehrmacht aka Army tanks and soliders. The Nazi's in Germay were a political party and not everyone was member. To put it another way it would be akin to you labelling US WWII Soldiers and tanks as Democrats which sounds laughable.

2. The 116 in real life was a wehrmacht panzer division that was full of everyday German soliders. They have a nearly non existent war crimes record...they shot a civilian who was harrassing some soliders...sort of like what you are doing now ;-) And they had a focus on awarding medals throughout the organization based upon performance not rank.

3. 116 members seperate ideolody from the WWII Wehrmacht itself. None of us ascribe to Nazi ideological views. In fact, it clearly states on our application we do not allow members in who are a part of extremist hate groups including Nazi's and The Swedish Feminist Initiative ;-)

4. If you want to understand more about WWII I would suggest reading the biographies of Guderian and Manstien. For example Guderian (whose son was in the 116) did not implement Hitler's Kommisar rules (which was to kill all captured Russian Political Officers) there were many German Generals who never lost site of their professional military duty. On the other hand, there were soldiers who did lose that sight and unfortunately commited atrocities. We at the 116 try to portray the former not the latter.

[QUOTE="Sharpie125"]

Why are people giving the TC crap over his clan name? Especially in RO or other WW2 games it's extremely common to use the name of real historical military units. I myself prefer playing as the Wehrmacht in COH/RO.

MacBoomStick

Mac you are either a troll or undeducated so in either case we are going to end this here.

[QUOTE="Waffen8tor"][QUOTE="Tauruslink"]Yeah I started playing it recently. I used to play skirmishes against the PC back when the first game came out. I just started playing CoHO and I suck! :Pmaximus_2

Glad I am with the 116th! Great group of mates! Never seen a TS server go 24/7 like that before!
