Nobody’s even mentioned Joe’s Nazi obsession yet.

Oh look, no response from the Assist admins, they just moved the thread to the ‘drama & spam’ section. *shock* *horror* *gasp*

There has been a growing 'double standards' here in recent times. This is something that does really need to be addressed, so I would be very interested to see exactly what the Assist admins thoughts are on this thread (if they even respond at all....).

I really fail to see why 'Monkey' would result in a permanent ban, I mean, so what? It's not like it's any 'hardcore' slur of any kind. As for the permanent ban for the username, I honestly had to Google what it meant the first time I saw it.... From what I have seen in game in the server, I have never even seen one objection to the username from anyone, particularly from the American players. Ok, Wicked/Bumpy/US.I.C.E might have already been on a warning for whatever reason (maybe), but I certainly don't see either of these two factors being a tipping point for a permanent ban. A simple removal of the comment and a warning was all that was needed, if that was needed at all....

As an FYI, I provided these screenshots to Wicked, as reporting them didn't really go anywhere.....

I do believe that Joe is far less likely to get any kind of punishment no matter what he does, and I know that I'm certainly not the only one who thinks this. Why? If there's no Joe, there's no scrims. I've tried and tried to look at all this from a neutral perspective, but it just seems to me that scrims (and therefore Joe) is being put above the community. And that means Joe can be allowed run rampant doing whatever he wants, just for the sake of having a private little 4v4 club, which the Assist admins are privvy to.

Just my two cents worth, and I'm fully expecting none of the Assist admins will be responding to this thread, because in my own experience, they hardly ever respond to my messages on Discord anyway. Just business as usual, putting their heads in the sand..... It would be nice to be proven wrong, however!

The account for the forum is separate from the account you need to play. To play, you'll need to make a player account, here: https://auth.aa25.org/register/. It should then be activated fairly quickly.

..... I like you Gunman but you are valuing this grudge over the good of the game. It seems out of character when you imply you don't want new players who are 'Joebangers'. It's okay for people to be friends with people you don't like. I'd like to think we are friends. ....

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing with you too. Unlike Joe, you haven't personally targeted me with any shit, so I don't have anything against you.... What you call a 'grudge' is actually a concern for the interests for this community. I've seen so many people leave because of Joe.....

There is a difference, though, isn't there. There's recruiting new players who want to play the game because it's been years since they were last online, but it sounds very much like those guys just want to play with Joe and not necessarily the game. Maybe I could be proven wrong....

A couple more links for the Joebangers/non-believers.

Two articles straight out of bullshit central.

A kiddie tantrum from a couple of years ago, which ultimately backfired on him. Badboy banning people from his server because they were TKing? Gosh, I wonder WHO might have started that...

Even this very 'apology' on this very thread he copied and pasted from what he wrote in the shoutbox. Only difference, is that he removed the reference to me at the start of his 'apology' before posting to the forum.


Calling someone a 'spineless crooked tooth fuck' and apologising for his behaviour within the same sentence is quite the contradiction.
It's only a tiny little thing, but it shows he is never going to change.

If he comes back, I’ll make it hell for him to play.

You could potentially get something from the massively popular youtube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/@AAO25Assist

You probably don't want to copy the entire videos, but you might be able to get snippets and/or stills and post a link to the video.

There's some great videos on the Assist channel, it's a shame that it isn't updated. Do you know if Spanky can still access the Assist YT channel? It would be a super thing to spam around everywhere to help promote Assist! Scrolling down, I see a 10 year old video for how to download Assist . Obviously a little out of date, but an updated video would be a big help for new players.

Scrolling to the bottom of the channel, I also saw a video titled 'Punching/Fisting on America's Army Version 1'. I must apologise, my childish sense of humour got the better of me...
