nope... just took a vote... all the BK's think you are a pompous joke.   You are simply not good at catching nuances.  Course...

hard to get an accurate vote these days since we are growing so fast and.... if they don't vote my way I yell at them and belittle em.

Lute, all it sounds like is that you've got something to prove. And when it gets to the point, when your in a game and your playing to prove something, its time to reassess things... And life in general.

As for you guys who love to smach those FH's down and kill towns in under a minute.Hell,I saw a guy saluting my FH's as he was bombing them. I kid you not.
 If you didnt like the fact that Jamusta was trying/going to form something to counter your horde like tactics with just that, then you could have fought it out in the MA rather than looking like fools here. But its hard to hold back something that comes naturally.

Again though, this would be a problem seeing as you dont fight.

Jamusta, I think your best hope for getting something like this going would be to run missions. Not missions of the generic horde type. Missions that include a planned fighter sweep, hard deck ect... Posting a topic like this on the BB and asking grown men to take it seriously seems like it wouldn't be hard. But you have to understand what it is/who it is your dealing with.

Finding a mission is very simple. Just watch the map. When a full sector of dar pops up instantly something is going on. You know that as well as I do though. When you see that happening, post a mission with 20 La7's and go to work. Honestly. Dont be stylish about this. Just roll to get the job done. An La7 would work nicely in a large group of even 5 wingman working together to counter a mission, or atleast make every jabo get light to live. There would be no runners, because you'd already have speed on them being light. It' would be perfect.


Once everyone got past their "gaming pride" and accepted the La7 in the misison it would be a very effective counter measure against the bombing, FH saluting, SIM City killing horde.

Where ever did you get the impression that I was THAT kind of a pilot.  Are you really that dense?  Do you TRULY have no clue about me what so ever?  (well obviously not)

About the most comically inane  thing i've seen posted here to date.  (and that's including Nash's posts during the election)

I don't fight??  REALLY.... ya' think that do ya'??   That's just plain moronic, and about as off as one could possibly be.  I'm on Sour's dueling ladder.  Feel free to give me a go.  Or simlpy just say when.  I'll let you know if I can be there.  I have no fear of dying, let's see if you feel the same.  I'm betting that you will retort w/ some flip answer, and try and dodge the challenge.  Hope not, I love a good fight.  I been the one saying to take it to the DA, and keep it off the BBS earlier in this thread.  The people in question just didn't have the stomach for a fight.  They'd much rather talk smack on the bbs.  Most of what you've said re. that  I already have posted in this thread.  Do your really have no reading comprehension, or ability for cognative thought.  Let's see if YOU are the type that will fight.

I've supported Jamusta from the get go in this thread,  IIRC the S.H.E.E.P name was MINE.  I'm the guy talkin' w/ other knit squads about teaming up to stop shubies horde run this monday night.  

Let's give a go at trying to make this nice and simple for you, as it appears your reading acumen is a bit on the lacking side.

RShubert=Horde guy.  
WMLute=guy gonna stop the horde.

There.  That simple 'nuff or do I need to dumb it down some more?

In the future please at least try to have a basic understanding about what you are posting about.

Took a vote did ya' laz?  Awww... how cute.  Like I said, if I ever decide to lower my standards and leave the WidowMakers, I guess the BK's are off my list of potental squaddies.  I'm touched that you decided to ask for me.  You know, I always did like nopoop, and wadke.  Levi is good people as well.  Nomak SEEMS a decent sort, and Redd is nice 'nuff.  Unfort I would not be a good fit for your group.  I LIKE a nice clean base captures (rules y'all out now don't it), and mixing it up far too much to be a BK.  I like dopping vh's, and killing towns.  Nothing better to me than being the 1st guy (or only guy) at a field w/ nme at it, killing 'em, deacking the place, and caping it.  I almost always up w/ eggs, and killing the one tiger in the town keeping us from capturing a field (you remember how to capture fields right?  I know it's been awhile for y'all) and killing it gives me much delight.  Never was one for hunting the fringe all that much.  Yup, your are absolutely correct that I would not make a very good Blue Knight.  But again, t/y for your consideration.  It 's just not meant to be.

Not sure why you decided to poke in here and stirr things up.  To borrow a phrase, I guess it has to do with something "lacking" in your life".  I'm ok with your being petty and small.  Heck, sorry about your "can't measure up, have to be insulting to cover up for my defects" issues.  I got a solution for you though.  Head over to flightladder.com and challenge me.  Unless  you one are one of them "only talk smack on the bbs, not willing to fight it out" kinda guys.  (go ahead and say you got nothing to prove, but we both understand that really means you are "lacking" in guts to take me up on it)

You like stirring the pot.  Great.  Who doesn't like to set the hook after a well flung bait.  If that is the case, consider me hooked.  BUT if you are actually serious about what u2 have posted, my opinion of y'as just dropped immensely, and you need to lay off the crack, it's frying your brain.

Lute your analogy simply doesn't work because as i've said previously you don't have a clue what i'm like.  Your opinion of me is baseless and of ignorance.  

So you are asking me for a duel?  do you feel you have to prove yourself to me?   I've nothing to prove to you, as i said before i'm pretty content flying around unnoticed.

Been there, done that.  Even with Jam a time or two.

We can all find enjoyment in the game just in different forms.


Sounds like the WMs... but you guys really ought to put shubie on a leash.

I'll let someone like Shane, who I tend to respect as a person and a pilot, teach me things if he is willing to go a few rounds.

Actually, some of the stuff I hear from Shane sounds much worse.  However, I understand that much of what Shane says is to get the other pilots riled and on edge.  He seems like a pretty decent person for this community.  Now why the hell does Lute's comment boil your blood?  Sounds like Shane, ManeTMP, Morph, Oct, et. all would be Impressed by much the same.

Instead of going to a map and looking for an even fight we can mass together and head for the horde and make the fight even. Much more fun than upping from a CAP'd base.

  :D   If it was only kept on squad channel it would be a miracle. You ought to see some of the text professoring that goes on in the early morning hours sometimes. Recently we watched and snickered at about a 2 hour, channel 200,
facts of life seminar from him and a trusty sidekick that entailed everything from how everyone else was playing the game wrong to who was completely wrong on every statement made about anything from planes to current milk prices. It was quite enlighteneing and educational, especialy since this was a free lecture and you didn`t even have to book a spot at the local Holiday Inn to attend.  
In all honesty I have to admit it made for some hilarious comments on our country channel . At one point about an hour or so into this tirade the comment was made " I wish them two would run outa meth. Let`s see...... who made that comment? :D
  Lute you do nothing but chest thump and rattle your gums concerning your superior skill and knowledge in the game on every possible subject, then turn around and make statements denying and trying to cover up everything you state. You are doing the same thing here on the BBS. Anytime anyone makes a comment ingame that you don`t like out comes the " Go to DA and prove it" then the I have a "   If you are, in fact, the meansest SOB in the valley and just have to prove something to yourself I suggest this. Do as most do concerning wanting to go to DA. Come into the game, get on channel 200 and simply ask " Does anyone want to go to DA for a few rounds?" It works for those who really are just interested in such things and doesn`t require a long , drawn out chest thumping session, then an equaly long lecture trying to convince anyone that what you just said was not.......well......what you just said. Most in the MA came to the MA to play in the MA with MA gameplay.

Shubie,

Bring it.  Period.  Moday night I will be there to shamelessly put down your merry band of toolshedders.

BTW, this is what competittion is about.  Pure and simple.  I don't know much about the OLE AW days, but this sounds like a good tase of the AH community stepping up and making things interesting.


Oh yeah, and this isn't my attempt at a virtual **** measuring contest.  

But just in case, here is a proof of my 6.5 pound wiener:

Now....back to the issue at hand.
  This is one of the few rare threads where I can see that , for once, the dyed in the wool furballer and those of us who like to indulge in the attack end of the game without the use of ridiculously overpowering odds, are shooting for, basiscaly the same goal.
  I happened on another way to deal with the horde issue last night quite by accident. Bish and Knights were swapping horde time slots on a couple of bases. Bish would up an ultra horde and attack a knight base to our south. Knights would in turn up another base and do a reverse horde attack on the Bish base. Everything was going pretty smooth, prodcing some pretty battles until one or the other would get the least bit of advantage, then here would come the bandwagon jumpers to try to overthrow the local government with overpowering numbers. I watched this for an hour or so chuckling to myself. Quite frankly, at most time the Knights were holding off twice their number due to the fact that the super leaders our horde was spending most of the time on country channel doing the L`il general thingy
and never even getting to the base to attack. In other words, it translates into " I wish someone would actualy cap that field so we can vulch because I`m getting my tail whooped before I get there" kind of thing.
  Eventualy some Knights clicked to the fact that they had a base one sector over that could be used to horde the horde that was hordeing them from.  :D
  I spent an hour or so upping from the Bish base , going to the Knight base and keeping ord and troops down. I was the only one going there so it made for some pretty intense skirmishs after I had dropped my ord from the guys that were upping and defending this base. Of course since I was the only one going there I was always outnumbered. Who gives a rat`s hiney, it was fun.
  It was way more fun though to watch our ultra horders getting their butt kicked by 1/4 to 1/2 of their numbers just for the sheer fact that the Knights actualy had a clue what they were doing and our hordefest were totaly lost and getting quite annoyed.
  Eventualy though, as usualy the case, we got a slight advantage on the Knights and out came the closet horder wannabes that wouldn`t get into the battle until safety was guaranteed and the Knight base was taken.
  Immediately after capture I upped from one of our fields in the area thinking things would level out somewhat. Within ten miles of leaving the base I watched our dar bar grow to 3 then 4 bars from surrounding bases. All were headed to one field. I bailed and said to H with it.
  The point being that if things are kept on a level playing field as much as possible there are some great battles that emerge. It`s great for the furballer and great for folks that are into the attack aspect of the game. It just takes a little effort from all countries to keep it on the up and up.

In all honesty I respect the horde.  All it really boils down to is one big furball.  As Jackl mentioned there were a few knights upping and disrupting the overwhelming advances thust at one target (aka horde).  I would not be suprsed if I was one of those Knights.  I think there is nothing better than climbing up to the Blitz in my Zeke to turn circles around the opposition.  I could care less if they have 20 to 1 odds on me.  Once I can get them milling about and diving for the deck usually a helping hand or two will show up and a furball developes.  Needless to say, many of the toolsheders will get through.  However, not as many make it to the target and "said base" will have a better chance of being defended.  Case-in-point both now both the furballers and the strat/land/grab peeps get a fighting chance.


In my book it only boils down to one thing:

"This is my filthy base, not yours.  It's gonna take you and the whole stinkin' bish/rook army to take it"

lute... for someone who doesn't care you sure do go on and on and on an...

It only took you one thread before everyone knows more about you than they ever wanted to.  

Not enough tho... now you have to have your imaginary friend start another thread to tell how wonderful you are.

I'm actually waiting for granny to get on and tell us all how you saved her life by jumping out of your mercedes and mowing her lawn.

Lute have you done any drugs in the past? Hallucinogens of any kind?  

And are you really that ignorant that you can't determine when one statement is directed at you and another is not? Dont get me wrong here now. I'm not calling you ignorant I'm asking you. I'm just making sure you UNDERSTAND that before you go taking my words out of context again here and turning them against you so the world can see you're the good guy and the rest of the cruel world is out to get you.  


Alright, I'll show you where you begin in my post and where you end as well. Ready? Make sure your ready now.

Thats you, start to finish. Or all I had to say about you. I dont know you, want to know you, nor do I have any sort of a judgement for or against you. All that I have gathered from your posts is that it does infact apear that you have much to prove to the rest to the players here. WHY I dont know. But thats what it looks like.

The rest has nothing to do with you and your magnificent world. Got it? :)
