I guess the whole Supream Commander thing must have reminded them of the old IP, I hope they don't notice us next. :P

Now that is evil. SupCom is already an AA clone, in a way (only kinda, there is similarities), Atari doesnt need to make one as well.

Meh, I'd say ban for spamming. Not that the company that encourages him got any money for ad views from me, I've blocked them all.

Well, it'd be Absolute Commander, right?

What about Absolutely Supreme? Absolutely Fabulous? :shock:

Now I realize it maybe wouldn't be consistent. Supreme is a relative term while absolute is well, absolute. So combining them would be an oxymoron.
So in the vein that total annihilation spawned absolute annihilation, supreme commander should give something like top commander, best commander or highest commander. Kinda lame they sound. :-)

"Absolute Tyrant" would be a clever play on words, no different, just synonyms that have a vague negative connotation.

Yeah, but every website gets money whenever someone visits one of their pages. (Not directly pay per view of course.) Also, that website just has google ads and one other add that is themed Zombiely.

This is the original one of these games! Brains are delicious!

Ultimate commander? Extreme commander? If you think about it, "Total Annihilation" is kind of lame too, or at least cliched.

Felony 3. Spamming is not allowed. This includes a single user intentionally posting multiple threads on the same topic, intentionally posting nonsensical garbage of poor humor in a thread, or commercial or paid advertising.

As far as I'm concearned the post does not breach spamming policy... yet... almost all links people post link to pages that have advertising, so using this as a argument seems invalid.

as far as

Misdemeanor 2. Topics should be named in some accordance with their intended content.

I would say the joke doesn't work with a topic that sais exactly what is meants... so I will call this a warning, anybody playing internet snowball games had better do so in such a way as not to piss me off, or incur my wrath.
