Rooks Win Reset Despite ENY
« Reply #255 on: September 07, 2004, 05:04:18 PM »
If the Bishops or the Knights insist on playing in a military game, but don't want to orgainize in a military fashion, then they will continue to get slaughterd.

Personaly, I don't care if I am on the winning side or not.  I do want to fly what I like when I like.  I think I have paid for that.

My squadron, the Skyknights, specialize in heavy bomber operations.  Our squad night is Sunday, and has been so for a number of years.  For the last year of so real life has relegated me to flying only once a week.

When eny denies us our B17's, then it detracts from our enjoyment.

Simply put, if winning resets is important to you, then organize.  If not, then fly and fight.  If bases at the front are porked or capped, then up from the rear.

How so?  It is simply a death haiku.


Waffle,

No, I prefer free form where I can fly what I want without waiting half an hour or so.


I'd like to see the game move away from airfield capture and towards territory capture with airfields simply being part of the terrain captured.

What makes you think that the ENY disabler has anything to do with resets ? It has to do with balance, which does not directly correlate to reset.

I could care less who wins the "war", but I do care about always having to face mobs of late war monsters by the over-populated side.

I thought there were more bombers in the game than the B-17 .

Solution: switch sides.

In that case switch to the country that allows B17s - there will ALWAYS be one country that has the least numbers - there you can fly the 17s you love

Making an entire squadron of people switch sides isn't always a viable option.  (I swear...this game must be full of loners :lol )  Country swapping brings up a lot of adverse opinions, emotions, etc.

Here's how it works in simple terms:

"Goober one to Goober squad. We've become nothing but a huge horde over here and that means we'll probably spend more time having our kills stolen or killshooting ourselves on a 'friendly' that decided we needed 'help' than we actually will getting to shoot and kill something.

Also we can't fly our beloved D ponies right now and that just plain suxxors.

We've been flying on this side for 128 years straight without switching so the 12 hour mora ... mora .... limit on switching shouldn't affect any of us.

Why don't we put on some slacks for the night? Now I know that most of us don't actually know how to switch since part of our indocrination into the squad involved having 'switching is EVUL' tattooed on our foreheads and one of the general orders we memorized was that anyone caught in the o.c. was to be shot on sight .... but I'm sure if we asked someone on the other side they could tell us what button to push and if all of us pay really close attention we can manage to all switch to the same side.

I know it's a complicated process and it kinda intimidates me too ... but I'm actually getting aroused thinking about awakening a synapse or two.

So .... to keep you all from bruising your brains I'll pick the side with the lowest numbers, which should be the safest bet when it comes to getting to ride the D pony the rest of the night, and we'll all go into the o club and when we have someone explain what buttons to push to magically transport us over to the same side all together as a unit, then we'll take it step by step and get there together. Ya ready?"

Goober squad in unison: Could ya repeat the part aftuh "Goober one to Goober sqwad?"

Easily confused by the difference between reality and a game?
