Umm, have to bring up the new "look"

[Suicide Junkie]

Seeing as its "Intel Forums", I would go for a more spy-ish image, such as the "top-secret" stamp.

BTW, I did that vote, and the results page showed one result *not what I voted for* I even went back, and it showed that I had clicked the right option button for what I wanted.
Whats going on?

i can't abide by a "TOP SECRET" sign at the top. I'd never be able to read at work. Would cost me my job and my clearance. Would be difficult for me to convince the politicos that "it's just a game!" especially with the ATF and BCT games.

Suicide_Junkie:

Oops! Sorry about that. I goofed when setting up the survey and it wasn't updating immediately. It works now though... New software, all the little check boxes, arghhh...

Best regards,

I find it very impressive that Shrapnel/MM responded so fast and offered a vote.

I bought Fallout Tactics - which is buggy as heck and almost unplayable.... and the people at Interplay could care less now that they have our cash.

It is yet another reminder to me of how much this website and company rocks.

I do love how shrapnel responds to its customers, I love the color shceme but the bullet... I would prefer a radar screen or something, gets the same I dea across but isn't quite so blatant. By the way I don't know about the rest of you but in SE IV if I can help it I don't glass planets it's harder that way but I love a chalange, in one game I have taken the galaxy and hve killed (I kept a tally) only 89 million so far the dam planets keep rebelling! Gonna have to space the lot soon...

Just my $0.02...

I voted "I don't really care one way or the other", and I really don't. I can understand the viewpoint of those who see the bullet as something out of place. I also understand those who say it's right where it belongs.

I have grown up and still live in an area of the country where guns are a fact of life. Nearly every house has at least one gun, and most males over 16 have at least one gun. Where I live, a gun is a natural thing to have, and people don't understand what all the fuss is about with guns. Some kid took a gun into his/her (though it's been mostly males thus far) school and shot at people? Then he never was taught how to use a gun. "He should get a good beating, he should have to look at what the results of his carelessness was, someone should teach him how to properly use a gun, then he should be put in jail for however many years the Judge decides", that's the response you would get here.

I believe in most of the arguements listed above. However, all the arguements above are the arguements of hunters, sportsmen. There shouldn't be guns made to kill people and only kill people available to the general public. It's a very sensitive issue, one that is made even more sensitive by the fact that the two sides are so diametrically opposite.

To get to the point: The bullet fits into the WarGaming genre. There are other things that could fit into the genre. Somebody will find something wrong with any header, no matter how many polls are held. For this particular one, it will probably end up being 33%/33%/33%, bullet bad/bullet good/I don't care. You can't please everyone.

Just thougt I'd add that th keep the bullet voters are ahead by 5%,followed by the dump it colum, VOTE PEOPLE VOTE, democracy doesn't work unless everyone participates
