Woof

XMarine was just the best example of the gamer types who are in it more to affect other people then enjoy the game. I keep using the term "fun police" to refer to the guys who fly lancs over and over at a field sporting a furball until they get through to FHs. Perhaps I have over-simplified things against them a little to much though. I'll take another stab at explaining what I see going on.

The guys I refer to as "fun police" are really just more like your typical bad office manager. They have some vision of how things should be done, which due to a lack of thinking out the whole situation is actually quite flawed. And instead of just going about their business of trying to do whatever land grab goal they feel is important, they look for a way to FORCE everyone else to follow that same land grab goal. It's like they are obsessed with productivity and see stagnant fights (furballs) as being a huge hole in their country's productivity. Nobody listens to these guys when they ***** about the fight on ch2, so they go in and attempt to 'fix' the problem themselves with a quick FH bomb run. The reason this behavior is so prevelant is that they feel they've made a big contribution to the war effort because their actions have an impact on a large number of people.

There are two problems with this gameplay, however. First they are directly opposing all the 'let people do what they want' and 'you pay my $15 and I'll do what you say' whines. They are enforcing one specific type of gameplay on the people that really arn't into it. The second problem is that BOMBING THE FHS ALMOST NEVER ACCOMPLISHES THEIR LAND GRAB GOAL. They see lots of countrymen flying there and think they must be trying to capture the field. Asside from maybe (maybe) 5% of the people in the fight, those people went there BECAUSE THERE WAS A FIGHT. They arn't going to stick around to clear the town. They arn't going to hang out to cap the field when nobody is trying to take off. The fight stops and everyone goes home, save for one or two guys who don't have the originization or man power to take the field anyway. And on top of it all now you've got a horde of pilots warmed up to fight with nowhere to go. The real land grab dweebs get completely screwed by a surge of defenders and the total land grab productivity for their country GOES DOWN.

Like I said, they are your typical bad office managers. They misunderstand the situation, then force all the people who know what their damn jobs are to fall in and work toward some retarded goal. Of course it's never the managers fault when everything goes to **** either, the employees just didn't cooperate 'good' enough.

You mean something like the message comming across on country chan: "FH down at xxx? Ready for taking" and no one else is at xxx except the guy that killed the FH?

I don't know where this was originally posted but,...

I love the implication that pissing off "gamer dorks" in a online video game some how makes you NOT a "gamer dork".

Those are just the guys who run a very high risk of becomming fun police. Usually you can tell they are going to make the plunge when they go off on how everyone fighting at the same base is counter-productive and ***** that the same fight has been going for an hour.

Eventually I imagine the community will deal with these guys the same way it deals with other 'dweebish' practices. But for the time being the fun police arn't really understood. In AH1 they just hit fuel to 'shut down the front', which while it was terribly annoying and stoped offenses it didn't stop the defensive effort. Fights still happened there. We've only had the FH killers since HT porked fuel porking, and the community hasn't really had time to sort things out yet.

I pulled that from AKAK's thread about the new style of the score potato. Sorry I forgot to cite where it came from.

Read, read, read....so far all I've heard is a buncha lame duds (not dudes) that call themselves the BK's. I love it!!!!
Hell, it looks like the whole squad has been into this thread with 45 out of 184 posts. Talk about gamey whiners. It sounds to me like the typical whining they do about everything when it doesn't go their way.

As far as XM goes....The guy gets you to chase him all over the map so his bud's can go mess with a field. Then he bails out, laughing his butt off.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

You then whine about him being a gamer. He laughing so hard he's falling outa his chair. And you tards don't even have the brains to figure that out. Grow up.

Jump up and yell all ya want but yer a buncha whining tards.

Geez, that's like talking about how many posts someone made! Try figuring out how many posts were made bu those dudes that had any value!

Sorry if the truth hurts but get a life!

Never in the pursuits of man, have so few, whined about so much, in so little time.

My bad. I can't help myself. These tards deserve any crap anyone ever throws at them.

My only real question about the BK's is I coulda sworn Nomak disbanded the squad after the points whoring debacle and was considered as a stand up dude for doing it. What made him decide to lower himself back to their level?

Sonny, you don't need to defend the marines:cool:

If you call pointing something out that is obviously wrong... Whining... Then you're speaking about the entire AH community.

The thing of it is, you were wrong and you still wont admit that.

I still am astonished at how you are a trainer.

Like I said in the last "xMarine" thread.

I am done with him. I've made and proven my points... You have continued to hump his leg.

Some things will never change... This is one of them.

No one has the right to tell someone else how to play the game and spend their 15 bucks a month.

But... We do have the right to pass judgment on them and say what we think of it. And you are just as guilty of that as anyone else.

>>I bail out when shot up and going down because it seems like the thing to do. I know dwazel about scoring or kill ratios.... it just seems like a real WWII Pilot would have bailed when his plane is shot away rather than riding it down to certain death<<

Do it the way you want; some ride it in, and others don't. Some will shoot you in yer chute, others won't; expect either one of em. They gave us 45's if you bail now

Hehe, good pick up

When I first read it IO was about to get pissed off, but then I considered the source and realized this is the kind of anti-social thing that some dorks do to get their fun.

WTF man... we were actually having a conversation and I was learning something... then you chime in with your head so far up your oscar that you have to yawn to see if the sun is shining. You aren't even funny... you are just annoying and stoooopud.
I don't really think I can learn much from you..... I've got the being an oscarhole thing mastered already.
