Hiya Slapshot!

I think the meanings of all these words are relative, as is the number of people online to the 24 hour day. I left the MA at 1600 UTC (just 6 minutes ago) and there were 148 online. Most number of cons I saw on screen at any one time was 4, maybe 5. You have to work with what you have. Still, I had some good flying lessons from Chortle.

~~According to my Oxford English Dictionary, horde comes from the Polish word Horda. (No absolute value given - could be 10, or could be 500. It's all relative)~~

the ganging scoremongers will up their stangbang planes and come in with a 10K alt advantage.

Beet1e, you complain about people wanting an alt advantage but you choose to fight only when you have one, you leave the area when co-alt or higher fighters arrive. Explain your hypocricy.

The back four (Dixon, Adams, Bould/Keown, Winterburn) would all step up in unison to catch the attacking player(s) offside, and raise their hand to signal to the linesman/referee they are offside.

Worked great, that defence was probably the most consistent ever in the english game.

There we go, im putting my own thread off topic morph

I give this topic a 2.3 out of ten. I deducted Seven points for sheer boredom and .7 for redundancy.

I can explain easily. You are, quite simply, wrong. I'm sending you a film of a 1v1 engagement I had this afternoon with some notes about how/why it happened. As you will see, it completely blows your theory.

Furball! Bloody hell, Tony Adams, Lee Dixon... Wonder how Adams' liver is doing these days.

That defence always reminds me of the pizza map whiners - quickly pull back... and then accuse the aggressor of "milkrunning an undefended base".

If you watched "MY Greek Wedding" ... "The word Horde come from the Greek word " horda" which means "to hang out together" (and if you believe that, then spray some windex on yourself).

Yes it is relative ... the strong point in the definition is ...

... people migrating from place to place for the sake of pasturage, plunder, etc.; a predatory multitude ...

It's the action/mindset and not the numbers. In a 5 to 1, the 5 would be considered a horde (or gang) in comparison to the 1.

--- Off Topic ---

The back four (Dixon, Adams, Bould/Keown, Winterburn) would all step up in unison to catch the attacking player(s) offside, and raise their hand to signal to the linesman/referee they are offside.

Learned that in Middle School. They key is to make sure that you excute the trap before a (long) lead pass has left the foot of the passer and the linesman is paying attention ... else, you will get burned.

Beet1e ... just read you correlation of this defense to pizza ... stick with chess and stay away from football ... you don't seem to have a clue ... you DONT pull back ... you move forward.
