Ah well Casper, you just dropped a few notches...

It would indeed hinder us fluffers and toolshed killers, lazs. If the fields are too close together, capture becomes nearly impossible due to the ease with which defenders can up from a nearby field and get into the fight over the disputed field. That's my major objection, since it is difficult to get a large enough horde to cover one base, let alone two or three.

But this has been hashed over and over and over...

The difference is that... if given the opportunity... people will furball... the only way they do what you want is if they are forced too... Right now we are being forced to play your game... there is an unbalance. Maybe that is why so many are unhappy these days. No one would be forced to furball if the fields were closer together.

This is precisely why you and fellow furballers wanted closer fields, and precisely why everyone else did not. You used to claim that there was "something for everyone" when the fields were pissing distance apart - glad you finally admitted that you were talking bollocks.

And now, back to the smackfest."

It's rather sad - in my ~4yrs at WB, I don't ever recall a furballers v toolshedders debate. There was no such thing as a toolshedder. There seemed to be room for everyone to do what they wanted. No-one taunted anyone for doing something different. It's unfortunate that the AH community has been divided by this issue for all these years.

If any countrymates were low... they would not try to help at all just sit in the cherry pick seat until the countryman was dead or about to be and then swoop down on the low e or busy attacker.... if their numbers dropped to less than about a 5/3 ratio or they were down on e enough that they were lower than a couple of edfenders they all blew the wistle and ran home...

never seen anything like it... was not real fun.... very low kill per hour. When they couldn't keep a conga line going enough to be high over the enemy field (pushed back some) they simple quit playing.

This was a lot of planes in an area but nothing like a furball. You are right... these guys are more disgusting than the strat girls.

Yup, I second it, was very dissapointing.

Two factors at work here, beet1e:

1) People that love to taunt

2) People that feel they must respond or defend themselves to taunters.

As long as you have those to factions, the debate/taunt/smack talking/delittling/insulting, etc will continue.

My view: Fly (or drive) how you want, where you want, in whatever you want and ignore the other guy who says you are wrong or somehow less for doing so. It's your money, not theirs. You're here to get what you want out of it, not what the other guy wants.

Blammo - absolutely correct. And now I see lazs has another taunt thread - something about fat bomber pilots - in his never ending quest to shame/embarrass people into playing the FB way. Bah, to hell with it. I'm just waiting for TOD, but...

...the TOD concept was first mentioned in 2002, maybe earlier. It's now almost 2006. I don't think that pot is going to boil.

OMG - Whaaa its too hard to for us base capture guys we would need 50 people instead of our normal 40 LOLH. Please! At least it becomes to hard, on some maps the furballs are almost non existant.

Beetle go back to your cave, if you aint flying you have no clue, but then that is not unusual for you LOLH:D

Please! As long as furballs are non existant on most maps this will be a debate that will rage forever. As far as your view... If you logged in and couldn't fly the way you wanted you would understand the rest of us. Until then enjoy the blinders.

As long as furballs are restricted due to crappy maps and toolshed heros these kinds of threads will always exist.

I enjoy it when people end their points with a 'you don't see if my way so you're wrong' type statement. It gives me a certain sense of symmetry.

As far as furballs being non-existant, funny, I run in one almost every single night I am on. Perhaps you are just not at the right place? For that matter, just two nights ago I ran into a long running one that had several BKs involved. I am not sure the what base it was, but it was the Mindinoa map.

Aside from that, your ad hoc attack had nothing to do with my comments. I was making a generalization and you tried to make it personal. Whatever, you did help prove my point:

As long as you have those to factions, the debate/taunt/smack talking/belittling/insulting, etc will continue.

So, for that, I thank you.

Oh, and I will start playing the way you want me to when you start paying my monthly bill for Aces High.

This thread needs to be ho'ed by a BUNCH of Tempests.

Or BOMBED to oblivion by about 30 formations of LANCS and B-17's.
