What's the big deal in changing sides?

[LePaul]

Well, gentlemen, its certainly been enlightening now, hasnt it?  I largely fly bombers, and it takes me an hour to get to target to *help* you guys.  So, god forbid I try to coordinate with you, I'm a "Desktop General".  Ok, sure, whatever.  <chuckles, shakes head>.

But then again, I'm getting the big scrutiny from the furballers, and I don't recall seeing anyone of your names on the missions I've been in with Ripsnort.  You guys talk the talk...

But ya know what?  Its a game, a $30 one at that.  I listen to your text babbles like everyone else.  If you wanna think Im being a General, well be my guest.  You guys play the game as you wish, and I'll do the same.

Nice to know your true nature Paul.

Our squad switches sides on a monthly basis.  It helps us to get to know more pilots and fly against more pilots.  We enjoy that aspect very much.

What we don't like is being labled as side changers.  We stick through it for whatever country we are flying for.  We've been on when countries have won and lost the war.. through thick and thin.  We only change when the callendar says its time.. not when we get sick of the people around us.

You have highlighted why those lables are thrown around.  Quiting a country out of frustration then attacking it does not bode well in many people's oppinions.

Thankyou for making it just a tad bit rougher on the squads that rotate tours.

Waaaaaaaah

For what its worth, I'm having a ball flying with the Bishops, Rooks and Knights.  Seems to be some sorta unofficial rule that while you can change sides any time you please, you arent allowed to fly against your former side.  And That, you display hugely.

Its been an eyeopener, finding out who the crybabies are, and which players are a great challenge to fly against (since up til a while ago, Id only flown WITH them).

You and Staga can rant on and on about 'how dare I attack' my former side.  Whatever.  My $30.  Whats-da-matter?  Scared to fly against me  

Get over it, its a game, and go have fun.

seems that the knits and bishops are the only country that bickers about this.  


Moose.

100% rook
100% ASSassin too

I occasionally switch to the rookies for a night.  Sometimes just for a change of pace, sometimes because it's late and the Bish have no Dar (the later it gets in the evening/early morning, the less tolerant I am to no radar   ), but only when I don't have any squaddies on.

I'm long past being annoyed with anything the Bish may or may not be doing.  Bish are a bunch of disorganized sods and I love 'em for it...and I fit right in    However, when I switch, my favorite country to fight is, yep, the Bish.  I can fight the Knits or Rookies anytime, but only when I switch countries can I have the pleasure of flying against my country mates.  It gets better when some of my squaddies log on after the fact and I'm able to meet 'em and fight with 'em...this usually results in my timely death

LePaul/BD5pilot/whatever - the point is not that you changed sides. I couldn't give a flying w**k about that. It's your petulant attitude coupled with an ego that would have problems fitting inside the bomb-bay of a lancaster.

Considering how new you are to the game, you proceeded to tell everyone how to play and what strategy to employ. You'd then whine incessantly about how inept we are.

And the funny thing is, you don't see how annoying that could be!

How new I am?  Gee, been playing for over a year.....

Point its, I could care less what you think.  All I was trying to do was coordinate my Lancaster bombstrikes with whatever you guys were trying to acheive.  But you claim I'm a dictator for inquiring what you guys are doing...whatever....give live in your little world and we'll all wonder what color the sky is in it.

Odd how all the whines Im getting are from the Euro-folks.  <pphhtttt>

Well, I retract my comment then. Just haven't noticed your handle before.

Jolly good.

Err... wrong. You weren't asking for people to join your flight, you squeaked at people when they started doing other things in preference to your aims. I personally got a little tired of your griping - it seemed to happen whenever you were on. Sorry if that offends, but that's the impression I got.

 

Odd how all the whines Im getting are from the Euro-folks. <pphhtttt>

Such a biting, incisive and, above all, witty comment. One would even go as far as to call it 'rapier-like'.

Perhaps we have less tolerance for egotists (90% complete or otherwise); I really don't know.

[LePaul]

<chuckle....>

Whatever, we agree to disagree.  I simply do not see where I was ever giving orders, simply trying to coordinate with what you guys were trying to do.  If that's a sin, I guess I'm guilty as charged.  Forgot, teamwork and Knits are dire opposites most of the time
