Lots of Complaining About Center Island...

Hold on I'm going off deep end style.  Why not have a 4 whole different arena for Gv-ers, furballers, dog fighters and strat guys.

No need, it was fine as it was/is. But thanks for the suggestion.

Or on the other extreme, let's have it so you don't get to take off unless you have ord. Make it so no aircraft carry ammo, just bombs/rockets. If you somehow shoot down an enemy aircraft or miss your toolshed you are penalized by system proclaiming you aren't helping win the never ending war. LET call it Arm Chair G3n3RalZ united:aok

OR we could all just do what we want WOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOO

I think you guys on both sides are making this too complicated...

Everyone plays the game to have fun.
Furball if you want.
GV if you want.
Buff if you want.
Become a general if you want.
Practise real estate if you want.

All of those things are attractive to someone somewhere. All of them can coexist in the MA, the current map has how many fields?

What gets me is how there seems to be the inevitable pasttern of a nice fight developing which only lasts for 5-15 minutes before somebody sees all of us having fun (or wasting war-winning resources I guess would be their POV) and shows up at 15K with a stream of B24s to close down the fight. This action disperses the furballers who then have to seek another venue but seldom results in a base capture because it is being done my BOTH sides.

Now I know some will say that the buff pile-its are only bombing active fields becasue they want to be shot at too, but if that were the case why do the first waves awlways seem to show up at 15-20K over a 1-5K furball of slower AC?

All we are trying to say is that if you want to go bomb some buildings fine, there are hundreds of bases/strats where you can have your fun without spoiling ours.

Last night in tank town was blast.  A very big to everyone who was there; here's to hoping we can get the rest of the MA to chill with their base-taking next time!

Bah.
Im not on any side,,,,,,I like to use ACM and dogfight as much as anyone

I do feel there is skill involved in ground attack,
and do enjoy the strategic aspect of the"war" also

My comment was a friendly jab at the many on these BB's
that pounce on any thread regarding strat, toolsheds, etc.

[WarRaidr]

this arguement is senseless since this is a "virtual war" and nobody is bleeding or dying, both sides have some merit in the point they're trying to prove BUT as long as you pay HiTech your $15 dollars a month the war will be there again tomorrow

Yes it's all about fun.  Yes it's got everything for every style of game play.

The double edged sword syndrome is thus.  A group of strat guy's go to a field to capture it.  Furball guy's in tower see's dot's  (under dar) headed to a field.  Desides to tagg along (usually over dar).  The cons see's the dar bar and up's.  See's a real threat as guys pop up and calls for help.  Thus the furball starts afresh.  Now you furball guys are really getting your rocks off when the "Pre arranged" bombers arrive to close Hangers.  Cons have had 5 to 15 min warning.  Cons start "porking" all local barracks.  Meanwhile the Goon is being hunted by every con and his newborn newb....Thus no capture.

It works both ways.  Some strat guys see the commosion on dar and see an opportunity to take the field.  Some Fur guys see the commosion on dar and see an opportunity to err pull their trigger.

Next time you see dots on dar without showing a dar bar ( the green thingy top left of the sector ) have a thought.  Like wise I would advise any strat to check what the heck is going on.  If you turn up hvy to take it and it's just a furball u my friend are waisting your energies/time.  Strat guys take the opportunity to take another field while the cons are tied up.

" let us assume you know what "strat targets" on a field are."


 Sorry. I read your post to there and felt you were heading for left field on this.

 Your assumptions are plain wrong.  I do not know what the strat targets are and (cover your ears) I could_not_care_less.  Well, unless a building battler goes and ruins the gameplay for those who are online for fighting against each other.  What would be the point to knowing anything about "strat" in the MA when I only pay-to-play in order to interact AGAINST other HUMANS in simulated "arial"  combat?

 Strat targets aka sheds aka outhouses don't move nor fight back. There is no war and futhermore there is no point to "land grab."   Other than to provide "fun" for those of lower ability and skill IMO.  For the attention deficit type who skreech on the country channel that players in his/her county are stupid and should be helping to win the war. The type who finally manage to "conquer" colored squares of pixels then go on channel 2 with a special olympics spazzfest textually master baiting each other for such a "good show.".

  To quote someone from many moons ago MA landgrab is a big hamster wheeel,    "eEEEeee ... eeEEeeee ...."  

 You enjoy it? Knock yourself out. Doesn't phase me much. That is until I have to read or hear players suffering from tourettes freak out because they are losing their self made "war."  
 And since I cannot perma-squelch these Napoleons I end up hostage to this shrill drivel aimed against others, such as myself, who are "wasting" our time dogfighting and generally having a good time "fighting" against people.



er, well I used to.  I found unsubbing worked well as a perma-squelch.

LOL first time I read that I thought it said "anal" instead of "arial"




I was wondering why you were engaging in anal combat with other humans.  LOL

I don't have anything else to contribute but that =P

 Westy.  But we do help in the land grab and tool shed fighting.  They are just too stupid to understand that we do.

A couple of weeks ago one of this generals landed a goon by a town and went on on vox crying for someone to hit the two last buildings.  Well there were two friendlies in the air, me and some other guy at the time and had a combo of lalas and NIKS on our tails.  We headed over the water and away for the town.  You had to be there and listen to that guy crying about how we dont care about teh war and only care about our fighter score and on and on and on.  Finaly someone showed up, killed the buildings and the base was taken.

Had we gone over the town as the idiot was asking as to, what do you think the bad guys would do?  Chace me or the goon on the grownd?

So, they could not batle their buildings without us keeping the fighters busy but they dont get it.  Oh, general went on vox aftrwards thanking the squad that killed the two buildings and for not being mindles furbalers like us.  LOL< what furbal, all we were doing was taking the fighters away from him

Well, obviously, if you ever have the chance again you now know what to do.


Oh, how the thought of the wailing that would ensue warms the cockles of my heart.

You can't tell me you EVER seen a senseless argument on this BBS!

[Clifra Jones]

You don't need to stop the furballers fun to win the war. You just need a strategic plane and the talent to implement it. TT/Furball Island has no strategic value so why would you care? those resources don't care about your war, they are not and never will be YOUR resources.

Just what the motivation of some of these bomber pilots is, is beyond me. Last night a good fight at A5. Then 8 formations of B24s, 8, all the 15+K. Flatten the town, kill the CV, not a bomb dropped on the town, no attempt that I could see to take the base.

It looks like jealous spit to me, Maybe it isn't, but that what it looks like.

The only reason worth winning the reset is to get rid of a chitty map. Otherwise it's pointless.
