I don't give a shit about my rank, Twister (see how many replies I send each day on my profile). Ask the moderators to ban me if you want, I'll go on sending replies even if I turn to swabbie or cadet. My english is poor, I do not speak it everyday, and I'm just trying to improve it.
Moreover I don't have 2 hours to spend to build a sentence; when I have an idea, I prefer to send it immediately.

I apologize for the disturbance... but I'AM NOT A CHEATER.

Therefore, next time you'll be there, Twister, I'll try not to disturb you... well I won't send replies...
 
NoRemorse: When you post many times consecutively, it gives the impression that you're just trying to boost your post count. Secondly when you start raving about bannings and such, only then does banning become an issue - let's stay civil shall we? Finally the best way for you to improve your english is to keep practicing. By all means post your ideas when you have them but then refine/improve them by editing your posts. You'll sound and look more intelligent that way :)

I totally agree with you... just keep in mind I don't want to boost my count through this way... that was what I wanted to explain... I just wanted to "help" the community sending my ideas, that's all. And that time, I had ideas every ten minutes...

PS: I don't want to look intelligent... I'm smart !:D
PS: I may have a training period during summer 2003, and I want to go overseas, in Canada or in the USA. Will the WC community be able to help me ?
 
A couple that jumped into my head... (all from real life!)

383. You purchase a lot of 40 Chinese computer games from eBay because they include a copy of Wing Commander Academy.

413. You've shot down more than 10,000 kilrathis during your life (as many as the number of inhabitants of your town).
414. Your miniature TCS Concordia was too small. You're trying to build a 1:1 scale model of it in your garage. (see #407)
415. You're 23 and you're already Wing Commander (well, a german ace during WW2, Nowotny, was 22 and Wing Commander)
416. Nobody can't understand what you want to say in chat rooms, 'cause you've forgotten to get off your flight gloves (see #400)
