I apologise to you Monsta and for all the other members of the community who were participating constructively in the original thread. I'm afraid I let my anger get the better of me (when will I learn? ). I would appreciate it if the mods would leave this up so a rational discourse on the original subject could continue if people feel the need. I of course will not participate further.

NP..you said what was needed...I never think that it is wise to shy away from a worthy fight....even if it is with a dick like the bin dipper.

Its always irritating for me to see that many people ( sorry Tank you seem to belong to them ) are not able to make a distinction between having a "good and entertaining verbal fight" in the forum and simply insulting other people or even threathening them. Maybe thats because of their young age or because of a heavy lack of social intelligence ...its sooooooooo annoying in either way.
I realize that my "online personality" is also gifted with a kind of attacking spirit and i hope that nobody takes my verbal attacks as "personal insults" but i can cope with the appropiate counter-attack quite well and gladly so, because from my point of view nice "political clashes" in public forums enhance the fun of this wonderful game even more!
For example i love to have an occasional fight with the great Monsta or the Khan of Khans, but i never loose my respect for them and their huge impact on the community. Without dedicated people like them ( Tera is another example!) our community would have died long ago!
Guys, please do us and yourself a favour:
Fight on the battlefield and in the forum and demonstrate that you are equally able to handle the sword and the pen! and have immense fun in doing so, but never loose respect for your fellow Shogun-addicted Mate and try not to loose your personal distance to this GAME!
Unfortunately i lost my respect and personal distance once ( some will remember...) and i will work very hard that it won't happen again.
Let's have fun!!

I hope that you all can forgive me returning to the original topic of this thread. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif So, here is my 2 koku on this "gun-monkey-business". I think that there are two different things that are constantly confused here. One thing is to point out the faults of the upgrade system (or other parts of the game), and it is another to condemn people who (seems to) exploit it. Whereas I welcome the first, I think that one should be very cautious with the second. I think that it is extremely shaky to base a morale judgment (i.e. this or that tactic is dishonourable, etc.) on the assumption that this or that unit was not intended to work this or that way. (I say this in spite of the fact that we all know that the superashi was not intended to work the way it does.) So, please keep up the good work pointing out the faults of the upgrade system (or any part of the game) but please stop condemning people as "gun monkeys" or "ashi junkies".
Finally, please introduce the new stats (1.03) as the new official patch or do nothing. The community is small enough, there is no need to divide it further.

I think I can safely say that the thread was destined for closing before you posted your comments.

Lads (and ladies if there are any left?)..try the new 4/4 standard...4 gun max and 4 honour max on the other units...its not a bad compromise...means you can take as many of one unit as you like (apart from guns).....its about the best way to cut it down the middle...or if you insist on more guns limit them to honour 0....
just trying to find a working balance till the stats are finished.
GO 4/4....

Take your pop corn to the 'clans' forum...the bell just rang for round 3... and I think the ref is going to call a halt to the fight....as tank is losing heavy due to him being in wrong weight (brain) class.....what a mismatch...oh damn....stop it now...he just took another full in the chops....

I am, Mag, i am!
In real life i am such a nice and sober guy, i never say any rude things to anyone, i don't even think them! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif
But alas! the online-world seems to attract the darker part of my personality, so i would appreciate a little help from a good therapist, specialized in online-paranoia and personality-switches in the online-world very much!
Feed me with the details, i am the man this therapist must have looked for his whole working-life!! Hehe
