*Olegitis: A condition caused by a virus known as gimmegimmegimmecanwehave that originated in 2001 after a Russian flight sim developer named Oleg Maddox whom the condition is named after, unknowingly released the virus in his flight sim while attempting to provide unprecedented developer support to his rabid, almost fanatical flight sim customer base. The virus spread like wildfire among the 1C Maddox community immediately once exposed to IL2, devastating it's ranks. Around 2007 some unauthorized but brilliant flight simmers managed to crack parts of the genetic sequence of Oleg Maddox's IL2 flight sim allowing it to be openly modified. Unknowingly they also modified the gimmegimmegimmecanwehave virus as well and again the virus was released inadvertently on the public, this time in it's genetically altered far more virulent form in the mofdifications to the original flight sim that is just now beginnig to devastate the IL2 mod community as well. The condition effects flight sim users, developers and modders alike, however it's symptoms are manifested differently in each group.
Flight sum user symptoms: Very straight forward.. after exposure to the virus from an infected flight sim (In all bit .000265% of cases a 1C Maddox product) the users begin to experience thoughts that manifest themselves in terms of repeaated and very intense and persistent cries of "Gimmegimmegimmecanwehave... " leveled at game developers. These cries often seem totally logical to the users, however to the developers often it seems an almost impossible task because of their work load.
For developers and now modders the symptoms are almost identical.
Developer/modder symptoms: Also be advised that the original developers of the IL2 series are far beyond the earlier stages iof the condition. They are nowe in the "I wont say shite till I have something relatively substantial for these yahoos.." stage of the condition. Thye modders still have a ways to go before they reach that6 stage.. the modders are still in the "WTF man I am doing the best I can, get in line" stage.
In all stages from the developer/modder standpoint the condition manifests itself with slightly more detachment as the users, the real sufferers in this condition , make more and more intense and fervent demands. AT some point, the modders reach an epiphanous moment where they say.. "D@mn.. no wonder Oleg stopped coming around.. he was too busy doing this stuff... " as they hunch over their desks and continue making the mods to satisfy the insatiable demands that the virus brings forth from the users.
