--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Ie, discourage someone else's idea of fun because you see it as being harmful to your goal of winning the war.

You have stated that the "change the map" types are the greater majority. What I am saying is that if this is so, you all should be able to win your war without needlessly ruining isolated fun for others that can hold their breath for Wednesday.

I'm not trying to come off as bashing win the war guys... Everyone is entitled to have fun in their own way, it's like freedom of speech... But, on the big pacific map, going out of the way to take center island with over a hundred other perfectly takeable bases seems an awful lot like screaming "fire!" in a theatre.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I seek not to ruin your fun but ther's not a hope in hell I'll come and get you outta sticky situation.  I mean this not as a personal assult on you.  After all I fly Bishop.  In Bish land every now and then a shreek goes up in green.  " SAVE 234" or whatever the number is.  They deliberatly leave of the "V" distinguishing it as a TT base.  Sneaky like guilt if you ask me.

Now why would I take my much needed energies away from my type of "fun" to back up your type of "fun".  Playing strategically is my thing and TT is counter productive to that.

As to 1 side trying to capture TT perhaps they were trying to take it so as their man power was no longer waisted.... a theory at least but more probable opportunistic.  The roll started etc...

JB73 had a valid comment and quite frankly, in my oppinion, the newbies should stay on furball Island.  They'll only blow the bloody barracks anyways lol.

And as for SLAPSHOT comments.  Go pull ya trigger mate:p

     I'm just trying to picture a strat weenie "rescuing" a furballer.
This concept is just too odd to wrap my mind around.

     One other thing I'd like to bring up is that by actually engaging
real human enemies, the tank town folks are indeed helping you
to win your war of world domination.

Umm not to tricky to explain. For example.... 5 Bish 5 knight and 5 Rooks stuck in their island knocking 10 bells outta each other.  Then all of a sudden 5 Bish are removed.  Leaves 5 Knights, 5 Rooks knocking 10 bells outta each other.  Meanwhile 5 Bish join up with 25 other Bish for the world dimination thing.

Pull that trigger baby.... you'll work it out in the end

Playing strategically is my thing and TT is counter productive to that.

Try to think of it this way ...

My experiences at Furball Island/Tank Town is that, for the most part, an equal amount of participants from all 3 sides are waging air and land battles. Sooooo ... if all things are pretty much equal, in manpower, participating in this area ... then it's no real sweat off anybodies arse ... everthing on the island is nullified ... EQUALLY.

It's the "Win the Fargin' War" freaks that froth at the mouth thinking that if those 20, 30, or 40 people, who are having a BLAST,  at Furball Island/Tank Town, were to join their cause (operative words here - THEIR CAUSE) then they could win the silly war and get those precious 25 perks/category and be able to sound off on CH 200 at how l33t the are and what a bunch of fumbling idiots the other 2 countries are, for not WINNING THE WAR.

I could care less what you or anybody thinks is productive or counter-productive ... I am here to appease myself first and if so inclined, I just may chip in once and awhile (for a change) and help the "almighty cause".

The point in this whole thread ... and is still lost in translation ... is ... you have OVER 100 bases  to take, bomb, pork, horde ... why mess with Furball Island/Tank Town ? If the only reason is because YOU (not you personally, but collectively) think that WE are wasting resources and NEED to be FORCED into your gameplay ... it's pitifull and wrong.

Cooley?  I want you to try something. Can you put your finger on the dot in the brackets below?


[ . ]




Ok!


 Fingering that dot above demonstrates the amount of "skill" needed to knock down a "shed" in the MA.  The dot doesn't move nor fight back either.

 Believe me. It has nothing to do with being "too hip" or not.

why would someone want to stop enjoying themselves AND EARNING well over the 25 perks you get for winning the war, not that most of them actually use it...to spend 2 or 3 hours flying around shooting at stationary targets for a essentially useless, rediculously small, "reward"

LOL 73, thank you for telling me what it stood for, I've been trying to figure it out for hours now  :lol


As for the GV theory LYNX, that only works if 5 guys on one side are actually engaging 5 on the other.  But then again, its not like we have 25 guys at any given time spawn camping and fighting over the one lone M8 that will continue to up in the hopes of eventual triumph.

Cooley... what did those buildings ever do to me?  Bombs just slow ya down anyway.  If you want to blow up those  poor defenceless buildings, you go right ahead, I rather enjoy the challenge of taking someone down air to air.

You guys should go easy on cooley and lynx. they proved your points very well.

Vudak, this is NO way restricted to just the knits. It happens everywhere, all the time. The icons are different; the people are not. I used to be a virtual realtor too, running around stealing undefended bases and harassing strat targets and porking barracks and ord. Now, I do that only if it is required to preserve whatever kind of fight we have going. The only wasted resources are normally the text comms, filled with crap about 'wHinning the war'. If you want to win the war, great. go take the undefended bases and let those of us who wish to actually fight do so.
While you may tell yourself you're doing us a favor by preventing any sort of fight, you may well find we've switched sides to relentlessly hunt you down. There are more than enough bases to milkrun, go find one. If you wish to ruin the furball, awesome. We love big slow heavy planes that can't fight back.

ps: there are instructions on how to quote so that it's easy to discern where the quote ends and your addition starts. next time you're loaded to the gills with ordnance to help in the war effort, tab out and read them. some of these posts are incredibly hard to read due to the slapshod quoting. just an FYI.
