These maps all blend together for me. How you remembered the base, map, date, and issue at hand is beyond me.

Do people really have to have the definition of ethics and fairness written down to enjoy ANY game? Last I checked, it was common sense.

At the risk of stating the obvious (common enough around here), we ought to remember that talking about "they" or "them" as if any country was an organized body is "complete and utter nonsense."

Influencing the behavior of several hundred AH players is only slightly more difficult than herding cats.





Admitting this, I also know that my attempt to insert reason and moderation into an AH BBS discussion is akin to trying to organize a joint garage sale between Serbs and Kosovars.
Maturity is knowing that I've been an idiot in the past.
Wisdom is realizing I will be an idiot in the future.
Common sense is trying to not be an idiot right now

Who had control of the CV this time?  Was it one of those "dumbed down" ex-Bish?

Had Bish had someone online at the time that out-ranked Lynx on Rooks, don't think for a nano-second they wouldn't have done exactly what I did a year ago. They chose the 2 hour + tank drive only because they lacked the Ranking person, not because of some decision based on abstract morals or game ethics...They are pawning it off as such now retrosepctively in an attempt to convince us they are somehow morally superior because of how they handled the exploit..which, of course, is complete and utter nonsense..  ;)

How do you know why the Bish did what they did?  Pure speculation, nothing more.  But I'm sure it makes you feel better about what you did.

The one thing you fail to mention is why you did what you did.  At the time you defended yourself by saying that the whole situation was "runining your squad night.  Last year when this happened the Bish had just captured P62 via a sneak.  We had no base anywhere near P62.  The wasn't "a snowball's chance in hell" that we could mount any productive attack from that port.  The VH could be supressed (resupply does nothing for the hangers).  THe "bug explotation" could have been averted very eailsy by just leaving it alone.  Let's look at that.  Bish take P62.  It stands all alone, no other friendly bases around.  All they have is the port and the CV.  Now if they leave it there, the resupply bug is exploited.  If they move it the port us just as vunerable as any other.  How long do you think the Bish would have kept the cv at the port had it not been attacked repeatedly?  Did anyone over think of that?

While we are morally superior, the real point is that we showed that through using the tools the game provides that the port is not impossible to take under these circumstances.  And now I have to BBQ so I'll cut it short there.

Ah yes the switch country tool.  I don't think many people would look highly on players constantly jumping countries to help their original country take bases.  If you're going to switch countries it should be because you've had enough of where you were and are looking for a change, not a quick sabotage to a frustrating solution.

Yea..
Ah yea...
Agh yea this one's dedicated to all
the ladies in the front , the back
All the older ladies out there
lookin' nice, you know who you are
whoo...

I need you, boomin' granny
I said I want you, boomin' granny
Boomin' granny, boomin' granny
Boomin' granny, good and plenty

Well it might sound odd, it might sound corny
But here's some sex rhymes for those that are horny
For your boomin' granny with the boomin' system
Said I love ya won't leave ya so you got to listen
See I'm talkin' about the way that I'm feeling
You're so lovely lengthy and so appealing
A sassy sophisticated sexy lady
Well I'm 26 and you're 80
The clock is ticking so you better not front
We can go downtown and we could smoke some blunt
Well you're a Golden Girl, just like Bea Arthur
Just turn down the lights so we can go farther

Boomin' granny, boomin' granny
Boomin' granny, good and plenty

Because I saw ya at the check out line
You dropped your coupons and you were looking fine
Sophisticated, and so mature
I couldn't really care if you're 50 or 74
Because I want ya, and I need ya
Hey boomin' granny you could be my teacher
And I could be your pet, bet
Listen old lady I'm gonna make ya sweat!
I know I'm younger, and your much older
You look so nice on my Chevy Nova
I'm gonna take her to the low rider show, and flaunt ya
I gotta tell ya lady I said I want ya, boomin' granny

Because I need you boomin' granny
Boomin' granny, boomin' fanny
Boomin' granny, good and plenty
