Hehe Falc, you didn't get what I was saying I guess.  I was taunting both sides, I wanted the Rook and Bish hordes to actually run into each other instead of doing the cowardly dodge each other to mass horde an undefended field crap.  I was getting on the Rooks on country channel much more than I got on you guys.

The AW arenas did fail because of lack of traffic. However, plenty of folks said that they were needed. Of course AW's FT was an appeasement. Prior experience said that a seperate arena would fail.

Your common sense may be intact...I do still wonder about senility. :D

HR said...
You say its up to the players how its used. That's just not true and never will be.

Actually, a discussion about headons is where this came from. HT believes he has created an accurate and realistic gunnery model. He also said that he doesn't wish to compromise that model with unrealistic "fixes" to prevent headons. Bottomline, the model is realistic, it is the players use of it that is flawed. Keep in mind that he came from a game where such compromises were common place. Because of that, he has a major problem with doing it himself.

Actually, the MA is not funneled into one type of play. All types of play are available....but, no type of play is "protected" from the others. The division comes from people expecting that their "fun" should be exempt from interuption by the rest of the arena.

As for adding bases to FT....now THAT is a constructive idea. Each country should have at least 2 so that recaptures can be made. That is the reason for there being 6 gv fields in TT.


I have a microwave. But I still leave the burners on at least twice a day. No joke:(  

I hear ya on the headons being realistic..which is why I mentioned they are great for historical situations.
Email me your phone number. I lost it. I'll giva ya jingle. Longtime no talk anyhoo:)

I have alot of respect for ya stang...mebbe i didnt understand the purpose of your comments so sorry for the jab.;)

again when things are fairly even i prefer to up fiters and furball or intercept missions....

even though it may seem odd coming from the King of the Bops, I HATE basetaking.  Only do it to survive and help my teammates.  I can probably count on both hands the number of times ive been on and we "won" a map
in 4 years of this version.

bish seem to get most of the flak on this board for hording and toolshedding....would LOVE to see last year stats on who "won" the most maps...im redy to bet some money that it will show that the bish are NOT the toolshedding/base takers they are accused of being...if anyoone knows how to look that up please post it here.

I gotta disagree with ya jack....


when i have been on and numbers even and spread across all fronts the bish do very well....log on at night and you will see why we have limited success...heck there is a always a rook buff run mission in the air (and i love it!! it keeps them off the frontline and we resupply in 5 minutes what it took an hour to knock down)

sure im a homer for bish...no apologies there:aok

but again my post was to suggest that we shouldnt be accused of being the worst landgrabbers when we dont win..doesnt make any sense:eek:

HOarach,

I agree and would love to see most bases uncapturable...mebbe the bases that could be captured would give cheap 262's:rolleyes:  extra ammo or something...some bonus.

and lets have a real fitertown..3 bases apiece so the vulchers cant play..all uncapturable and no ordinance...unkillable field ack.....a man can only dream....

i actually dont play at FT...too many vulchers and SA is not as important..i do better outside of there fitering...

ooh and take away check 6's from FT so noone can whine!!

Hmmm...then maybe you should direct your question to him, instead of just quoting me. :D

It's fun when either -

1) Two NOE missions run into each other

or

2) When a high alt mission runs into an NOE one.

Just doesn't happen often.

The only consistent one is when a buff mission inbound to HQ is met by a mission from the defenders.


As for the hoard in general, all three sides do it without exception.

You speaketh factually my dear friend. :aok
Present example is Trinity. Since it started in the rotation late last week, Nit and Rook pounded the dog **** outa Bish... Fri, Sat, and Sun. Monday rolls along and Bish Hoard take much of our Default bases back and Nit/Rook cry foul. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Everyone here know good and well that in the big picture it's actually pretty well balanced out in the long haul. This is a WAR of sorts and to have balance in the long haul is the best that can be expected. PS...i only started feeling this way over the last two weeks when Bish finally got off their Butts and started working TOGETHER as a team again. (It wont last) :D
