No, and it isn't.

It addresses Waffle's first post, the part about "foolish debate about furballing vs base captures". The debate is really about griefers.

Secondly, it addresses Waffle's first post concerning finding 1v1 fights in FT. That't not what a furball is; it's not why FT was created. The DA is for 1v1 as the name implies.

Now, did you intend your statement about hijacks to hijack this thread?

Lol Grits -

I knew it was sarcasm.

But...it was a pointless post.  

Just like every one of Megaduds post in this thread. Absolutely nothing significant to add, other than it's similarity to a dog pissing on something to try to mark territory...

Someone will be along along shortly to piss right over it and that will soon be pissed upon as well...


BTW - why in the hell are you guys turning this into a thread about a squad? Least it's starting to turn around.... I think...........

Interesting question Waffle. Shame you edited out the reason.

How did I know this would turn into yet another Blue Knights bash thread? If you're not part of the solution, Waffle, you're part of the problem

What Toad wrote is pure brillance and I would find it hard to believe that anyone who reads that post could not comprehend what he wrote and see the truth behind it ...

BUT ...

there will be those that will look at that post and see ...

"blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah"

Toad there is a faction of the player base that looks upon us furballers as a "waste" of resources that could be better used to further the "WIN THE WAR" effort. Those are the one that will see ... "blah blah blah" ... and those are the one that will continue to "grief".

These griefer, as countrymen, will be the ones that go and level the enemies FHs/CVs so that the furball will die, and at that point they think that we will now join their effort, because there is nothing left to do.

I agree totally (toadaly?) Slap.

From their point of view, we are a "waste of resources". But there's another thing that has also been pointed out many times. The $15/month resource I am wasting is mine not theirs.

My play in FT does not affect their use of their own resources. They can still do exactly what they like to do in AH. I do not "waste" their $15/month resource.

OTOH, if they grief FT it prevents me from doing what I like to do in AH. They "waste" my $15/month resource.

When they grief FT, or on the other less interesting maps, the FH's or CV's I still have a choice. I can choose to join them in the Hampster Wheel War or I can choose to log.

While I find furballing very interesting and great fun, it's not the only thing I find very interesting and great fun.  So, when they kill the fights... I log. There's always another virtual day.

It is a shame though that griefing FT is so easy.

When that happens ... there won't be anybody left to pick up pieces ... and we will have been long gone by then ... and this silly little BBS debate forum will have long since perished too.
