Furballers Vs. Toolshedders

[mars01]

You are wrong Blammo.  Oh boy you were in a furball that means they are everywhere.  Please.  Go look up the word "Almost".

I didn't get personal I told you, that you were wrong.  Thickin up the skin and wipe your tears.

As for Mechanic/Batsht, get used to the BKs, because as long as you have a beef with us we'll be in your face everytime you try to get in ours.  I had you pegged all wrong, I thought you were cool LOLH.

 LOL-H! There's one guy who really gets up your nose - xmarine - and you're never going to find a comeback for this gem - one of the best posts I ever read on this board.

It'll be myself and a few friends at my place drinking beers and laughing ourselves to tears twisting the nipples of the likes of dorf & (some of) the BK's.

I'm having lots of fun twisting my stick, that's what gaming is all about. yet according to "them" I am the #1 destroyier of the game, public enemy #1.. and whatever canards they can think of... LMAO...oooook dorks, I'll keep laughing at you and having fun.

These guys take this oh so seriously, it's thier life, if they didn't have such big net mouths, I'd feel sorry for them... maybe.

I'm not one of "them", playing a game is not about boosting my ego, trying to prove something, or making friends... I don't fool myself into thinking because I've had endless hours of practice at one particular game that I'm a "pilot" who "fights" with any special "skill", "bravery" or "talent".. as a combat vet, IMO, the rhetoric alone these guys cling to in order to validate themselves cheapens the meanings of these terms.
The only thing "brave" about these dorks is thier ability to type trash from the safety of thier keyboards

One of these guys in particular cracks me up the most, his on-line AH persona he firmly believes he's a "vet" "pilot" with "fighting skills"... while submerged in his AH world it stinks in here because he's the she-it. The instant you remind him he's not a real warrior and this game simply requires practice at twisting and jerking a joystick against icons on a computer screen... watch out because he'll type-cry until his fingers bleed, how dare I remind him he's just a gamer dork and not the super brave badass he wants to be.

It's about my fun, sometimes I have fun suckering these clowns into a chase then denying them the pleasure of shooting me down, other times I have fun shooting them down.. depends on my mood, either way I spend a lot of time lmao.

And don't think for a second these dorks don't have a motive, they are well practiced at one particular type of game play, figured out all the tricks.. of course they want to steer everyone in that direction so that can better thier score, do more chest thumping and ultimately validate themselves as brave fighter pilots with skills on loan from god... it makes them feel like "someone" because when they log off they know they as far from warriors as it gets, have zero to brag about, mom still makes them clean thier room and girls still hate them.

It'll never happen, but I wish some of these gamer dorks would take cues from REAL PILOTS with REAL SKILL and REAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS.. when's the last time you saw a REAL fighter pilot being interviewed on the Mil channel acting like a dork?

"dood, I pwned that no skill dweeb Iraqui foo, that Mig-tard tried to hoe me but my F16 is the shiznat!!!, beeaaaych"

...and how true!

[Morpheus]

wow, just when I thought beetle was having an inteligent conversation too.

Beet, you know you're entire argument about guns has nothing to do with the real issue in this thread. Did you even bother reading it? Or you really just don't care?

In regards to furballing, I see many people who may think they are furballing, just whizzing around fast, and higher than the fight. I see guys in SpitVs turning slow, and a Typh swoops in and kills his guy. To me that guy isnt part of that furball.  Hes just an opportunistic player looking for an easy kill.

      I see 109g10s come into the fight and do the standard go up like a rocket and rope till the cows come home. That isnt furballing.

      And of course the (rare) LA7 come thru guns blazing for headons and exiting thru the other side. THAT isnt furballing.

      To me, furballing has always been between planes of similar qualities, and made up of similar quantities, in a slow, twisting and turning mass, trying to clear your bud's six, while constantly turning to avoid someone getting on yours.
 
       Many people who post here probably dont really like the furball for what it is, except that it provides them with targets to swoop in on. If I were a die-hard furballers, I'd dislike them as much as the toolshedders who bomb the hangers. Also we have a huge list of planes to chose from. Why just choose 2, the spitV for when you want to turnfight, and the typh,109g10,Tempest, or LA7 for when you want to stay fast. Try a higher ENY plane and try to survive against the masses. Its alot more fun. /QUOTE]

Good observation Filthy...I wish that map w the FighterTown had only early war planes enabled.

LOL

First, in reference to my use of the word "almost", there is no way I can know what is going on in every portion of the map.  I can assure you, based on reports over vox from my squaddies, that every night I am on there is a furball going on somewhere.  All the time?  Probably not, but most the time, yes.  In addition, sometimes, because I am not flying fighters or whatever, I avoid the furball.

Next, thickin up?  wipe away tears?  lol...this seems to be the standard BK response.  Get new material...lol

I agree with you that if I logged on and couldn't fly the way I wanted that I wouldn't like it.   But do you really think that through constant harrasment and whining you are going to get the other players to play the way you want them to?  Have you ever thought because of the vocalness of the furballers on this issue you are actually encouraging people to come in and shut down your furball?  Of course not, because everyone should play the way the furballers think they should, end of story.

Like I have said before, your problem is with HTC and not the other players.  HTC designed the game, they host the game and they set the parameters.  As long as they allow the things they allow, your argument is with them, not with the other players.

As a side not, I have nothing against furballers.  I enjoy a good stall fight and constant head-swivelling action from time to time.  I also don't like it when a base is sufficiently covered and someone feels the need to come in a pork the crap out of it.  But, it's their $15, not mine.  I can ask them not to, but if they do, how exactly is harrassing them going to change things?  At that point I take it to HTC.  Until they change it, it will continue to be the way it is.

[FiLtH]

LOL...good read beetle!   I dont care who it was directed at, but it pretty much covers all the bases on a certain type of player.  Thing is, the guilty never respond properly. Its pretty easy to let ones ego and self control go wild on the internet, as there are none of the safety stops that exist in real life conversation.

blammo... seriously..  Would you know a good furball if you seen one?

I mention this because, While I don't know if filth does...  I do know that filth at least knows what isn't a good furball.   You can find the kinds of fights that filth and I talked about on the map...   they are getting sickeningly more frequent but those aren't furballs.   Those are simply a gathering of cherry pickers of varying skills.

The only good furballs on most of the maps seem to be centered around a cv that get's close (3/4 to 1/2 a sector) to the enemy field.  

We all know how long useful cv's last in the game tho.

lazs,
I know what I think is a good furball.  Perhaps it would help if you defined what you meant by a good furball.  Seriously, I don't mean that with any ulterior motive at all.  As a matter of fact, I am really just starting to work of breaking out of the mediocre stage of my abilities.  So, if you can define what you mean by a good furball, then I could better understand where you are coming from.

What I consider a good furball is anything that keeps me constantly checking my six, constantly tracking my target and giving me the minimum amount of time to get a guns solutions.  A good furball also last longer that 30 seconds and involves relatively even numbers (plus or minus).

Am I any good in them?  Not yet, but I am getting better.  Do I enjoy it?  Heck YEAH!  Not all the time, but it is one of the aspects of the game I do enjoy.  I enjoy fighter jockeying over GVs, Jabos and bombing runs.  I do those when the mood strikes me, I need a diversion or I am having a particularly bad night in fighters.  Perhaps the time will come where all I want to do is furball.  I don't know, but that is on me and not everyone else in the game.

EDIT: I know what you mean about CVs.  The might as well paint them school bus yellow and draw a huge bombing target on them.

[Morpheus]

I dont remember the last time I saw a furball that did-not-end up over the top of one side or the others base.

That has alot to do with a good fight. Something I havent seen much of it any at all in AH2. Its now about hording, pushing to the base, getting a cap, vulching, killing FH's then taking the base. Rinse and repeat.

[SirLoin]

When the hording takes over,there is not much you can do about it(all countries do it)..It always happens in Prime-Time so avoid the big red dar-bar...Go take your plane of choice(early war plane works best) and find an undefended base...someone always ups and if u let him get a bit of alt u'll get a series of 1 on 1's until u get shot down...

Or try the DA and up a30...great fites in there!(just be sure to chk 6 before shooting)

[FiLtH]

Lastnight there seemed to be only red bar one place , green bar another. I toyed with the idea of going to the DA but just logged off.  I really think we should get together on the DA idea. We could make it a fun place if we tried. Set teams, plane match ups etc...could be great!

Amen to that.

PS... Filth can furball, we had fun one night on the map with the fighter island in the middle. We racked up a bunch between us and lived to tell the tale.

PSS... bettle and blamo are living endorsements for birth control.

When the hording takes over

If we got 2 or even 3 hordes to run inro each other that would be an Uber furball no matter what map your on.

You forgot the VH. The VH always goes first.
