Squad forums, active interest in the community, and I've been on the boards since Jan of 03.

I'm also not the one going around posting "soandso is a jerk" and "his squad is a bunch of *******s who have **** attitudes and are all jerks" in every thread I can find with a BK posting in it. That's you. That reputation you mention was placed upon us by people like you, who don't know us or know the first thing about us.

So, in response to your question... the people like you.

Well, I've been on since '02 and this is post 55, I believe.

ROFLMFAO!

Just wow.. I've never in my life seen a company be so entirely rude to one of its customers or it's community.. Ever..

HiTech - For this statement alone, you may very well have lost a customer unless I'm convinced otherwise.. This goes well beyond your conversation with 999000, and I'm truly having a hard time justifying supporting a company that openly treats their customers as such.

Frankly though the majority of what is broken has nothing to do with HTC or the game design. The broken part is the players,

And that's why this change, as all attempts to modify the behaviour of players, will be fruitless.

It's like squirrels, you can build the best birdfeeder, but they'll always get in it.

Check out the boards in a year. There will again be people whining about how the great majority of players are interfering with their pursuit of playing the game in the pure unsullied way that it was meant to be played.
A change will be made
the cycle will start again.

THATS IT!

enough beating around the bush, fighters to your corners, grab your battle purses. when the bell rings come out swingin.

hubsonfire,
You state, "That reputation you mention was placed upon us by people like you, ....who don't know us or know the first thing about us." Your right hub,...after you have posted some 3,663 post and  we both  have played the game for many years I don't know the first thing about you.
Thanks for not argueing that your reputation is what it is.

The funny thing is I've seen more 'integrity' in the game in the last 2 days then I have in a while.

As Shifty pointed out, folks are talking more, and getting to know people in the game which can only help build the community.

I can only speak for mid-war at this point, but I saw more instances of folks staying out of fights to let guys finish it, guys saluting each other over a good fight, and just generally being much more civil, realizing it's only a game and that the people in it are good for the most part.

That doesn't mean there weren't buffs.  Saw lots of 17s, Lancs etc, but there was very little steamrolling of empty bases.  Guys  were talking about not HO'ing and running and it was just more fun for me that way.

LW is what the old MA was.  I don't know what else you want 999.

We have more options now to fit all kinds of AH flying types.  That can only be a good thing.

Yes and no. I am finally monitoring the 200s, and will be starting more conversations. I have seen people from one country stumble on the knights by accident, and I have had nice conversations, but then again, there are those who are even worse! I have (for the first time) been shot at while I was in a chute, and these changes have truely brought out the worst in some members of my squad. However, I rather like this new setup. I feel like starting a thread saying just why. I think I will waste all of your time by doing just that...

999000 sir just to say, I'd like to see anyone who can show 999000 not being the most civil, polite, and respectful player in the whole MA as long as I have known him.

he's a true nice guy period.

I would just like to respond that in all my posts over all these years....  I bet that I don't have more than a hundred or so in this forum over the last year or so..  most are either old posts or in the O club.

The people here are far to sensitive and to play with for me.  

The huge threads that have been going on here for months and months rarely had even one post by me...   I have posted more in the last few days than in a year here.

most of the guys saying I post too much have more posts here than I do.

I didn't game the squad limits...  I didn't runway dive or whorde...  I didn't create the slum.

Man I had to reread that, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me

Thats like (basing the calculation on 6 years) 8 Posts a day...

Assuming that each post had 100 characters in it that would mean you have typed 1.7 million keystrokes on the AH BBS alone....

Whats you keyboard look like, Man can you even read the keys on it, I bet the keys p.w.n.e and d are blank....

[Quah!]

999 is not above acting like a baby.  I have seen it before and this thread is perfect proof.

He didn't get the reaction he was looking for from HT and then he goes and attacks a squad's rep because he doesn't agree with them.


999 nice guy some of the time, big baby some of the time.  Plain and simple.

You guys didn't give a crap as the MA was stagnating you selfishly played your hored games and made the MA what it turned into.  999 was directly responsible for killin many fights in his bombers and then he would taunt and brag about it on chan 200.

I watched guys like the BKs fight on these boards for a better place to fight, a better community that played to fight rather than play to stop fights, fight for better maps that encouraged better fights, fight to make this game a better place to play.  I watched the BKs take a lot of crap from a lot of members because those members did not like the truths that were being told.  Those members would rather a horde, vulch arena.

If the BKs have a reputation it is one of wanting a place where everyone could play their style, but still always be able to find great fights.

AH has finally reached a relative mass where things needed to change and I for one am glad HTC saw the writing on the wall and took corrective action.

Also - don't you guys see, this means CT is at the door, finally.  You can't tell me all you guys belly aching aren't going to run to CT now.

Here's another equation to ponder over.  Assume each post takes just 10 minutes on average, reading it to reply etc.  I must stress this is a frugal assumption then thats 40 hrs a month.

I wouldn't want to imply that some type it more than play it .....but

Sorry lazs ... you gotta admit it's a tad excessive:rofl

You obviously haven't been reading his posts for the last 4 days.  Since he pays $14.95 a month he believes he has a right to see exactly what data led to the change.  Since he did not get what he wanted (in a public forum, no less) he has been on a rampage, saying all sorts of ridiculous things.  

I'm not defending HT's response, that's not the purpose of this post, but after reading a majority of 999000's posts,  I would have told him to go take a flying f*** at a rolling donut.  He's been just out of control.

Deep breaths, go outside, get some air.  It might be best if he DID quit AH and get some perspective on life.

My 2c.  Dicho, pass me a beer.

I take it you quit reading the boards the day they changed they arena setup. He calls me a jerk, the BKs a jerk, anyone who disagrees with him a jerk, and basically has countered anything HTC has said with some variation of they lack foresight, integrity, don't know how to run the game, don't have ethics, etc.

If that's respectful, then I'm a saint.
