I do not care if people switch sides or simply log-off,

And to answere you question about what we think of other peoples oppions:

People stating there opionion is a good thing. People getting on there hi horse and contiualy posting the same thing over and over begins to cross the line, and ends up being ignored by us, as nothing more than noise.

It all ready has .......but it still sucks ! Maybe the Rooks need to take a day or two off from the game ? Let the Snivlers that promoted this nonsence have a taste of taking a knife to a gun fight ....... ( day in and day out )maybe over next weekend just simply go to the CT on Friday Night and stay their thru Sunday ....
Think it couldn't happen ? , those that were involved in " Operation Green Map" ( CZ ) in AirWarrior understand stuff like that has happened before .......It is possible for a single country to plan as a country and get the word out to most all and keep it a secrete , and the other 2 countrys didn't see it comming untill it was over ...... Think I'm full of crap ??? ask Flossy, or 40 MAW ....

What's that old saying about the "briar patch?"

This would have a few effects.

1. No one realy wants to wait to fly another fight, wrather than wait some will either change sides, or log off. Either has the effect of balancing the numbers.

Your thoughts?

HiTech

You seemed to indicate that people logging off in disgust was an acceptable way to balance the numbers. An ends' justifies the means" kind of solution.

Am I being more repititious than the countless redundant emails you are undoubtedly getting stating the same concerns? Those that frequent the boards see a post that articulates what they would have said and do not feel the need to:

A) Re-post the exact same thing or

B) Send HTC long angry emails saying the exact same thing.

The only reason I end up repeating myself in various ways is because of the cadre of fan-boys that enjoy adding nothing to the debate but instead distort and confuse the topic with mindless prattle, circular logic and thinly veiled insults.

I like the way the game is going. Forcing people into less-capable rides if they want to horde is a good thing, in my opinion. It leads to more variety in the MA, more even numbers (possibly, they seem fairly even to me most of the time anyway), and I'm sure at least one other thing I can't think of.

Now, there are some "issues" with the new system, however, not being able to fly the La-7 or P-51D aren't, in my opinion. Not being able to fly the P-38, now, that seems to be a valid point. It could be easily remedied by bumping up the ENY a bit on it, or by adding a new earlier war P-38. Every other late-war ride has a slightly less capable (and in most cases very slightly) version available.

I have no trouble distinguishing between people/posts that merely affirm support for the status quo through examples such as yours that aid in furthering the debate and those people/posts that add nothing whatever to the debate but merely serve to berate, ridicule and insult anyone who does not support the status quo and the methods implimented by the 'powers that be' that advocate it.

One type of person/post is a form of fan-boy bellybutton kissing, the other is a stated opinion. One serves to provide usefull information to the community and to HTC, the other does nothing more than attempt to degrade the entire debate into a childish 'pissing contest'. I'll leave it up to you which is which...

Please do. I'll contribute a pack of matches and a few gallons of gasoline if you need help getting started.

There's a vast difference between genuflecting and maintaining a civil conversation. If you indeed remember me from the days of old, you should know better than to commence hostilities with insults.

The word for the day is:

genuflecting

Genuflect \Gen`u*flect"\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Genuflected; p. pr. & vb. n. Genuflecting.] [See Genuflection.] To bend the knee, as in worship.

You are my NEW hero Dok. I really should know better. No really... putz.. er.. my hero....

Possibly, I hate that I am forced to stoop to the level of my detractors on occassion. A necessary evil in some isolated situations as a re-buff in kind is the only thing they respect. Sort of like how the only thing a violent man respects is a good, thorough bellybutton kicking. You will never 'talk' him out of his antagonistic, violent ways unfortunately.

Rah Rah Rah TEAM work.........

Some folks here seem to think "team work" is the overriding goal of all players. what has happened is that the countrys have become sorted by goals, with thiese goals being uniquely defined as "The only way" to have fun.

I became a knight upon encountering one of my old AW squads here,

After playing for some time, I began sorting out types of gamers for my own amusment..... amoung them are

the Generals,

the Furballers,

the Party Animals,

the Focused,

the Lone Wolf,

the History Mavens,

the Hormonaly Crazed Teen,

the Strat Guys,

ect. ect. ect.

Of all of thiese "Winning The War with Teamwork" is important to only a few...... most could care less about "The War" and see it only as a background and not as a prime directive.

By and large the Knigts don't really care about the war, and see it as a great way to provide fights, but not important in and of it's self.
The problem with this is, that this attitude allows the Fixated to roll them under while they are having fun, and the fun goes away when a side is reduced to a very few porked bases. The horde-rollers don't care, as winning is every thing to them, and Clubing Baby Seals has been elevated to a great art form.

Gettin back to my premis, by and large the Knights want to have fun, but fun to them is not solely defined by "Winning the War", and telling us Teamwork Teamwork Teamwork, is like us saying "Victory is Unimportant, the play is the thing" to the Rooks. Genrally all you get is a blank look........

what the ENY thing has done, is to level the playing field a little, in effect we shortened your club a bit, you can still horde, and even win, it is just a little harder. And as in every thing, a little harder is important as any thing that is too easy gets stale fast, and leads to burnout in the player base.

So try looking at the increased friction of ENY balancing as something that increases your coheasion and need for Teamwork, thus extending the viability of the Horde mentality, and saving ya'll from the dissolution of burnout and player loss. And not as an infringment of your fun, unless your fun is paramount, and you want Victims instead of Partners in fun.
