Ok then the BOP's are not a large squad or a mega squad we are simply several squads who like doing joint squad operations :)

What I find amazing is how the same subjects get discussed over and over and over and over and over again.

Why do people keep discussing them?

Is it to "change the views of the other posters"?

Is it to "make sure HTC knows their view on the subject"?

A person who likes to fly bombers isnt gonna become a furballer just because of a forums discussion.

A furballer isnt gonna start to fly bombers and take bases just because of a forum discussion.

Someone who likes the new format isnt gonna start disliking it because of a forums discussion. A person who hates it is not gonna start loving it.

So I really dont see the first one as a valid reason.

The second one... christ please dont insult HTC.. they very well know some people dont like the new format and that some people like it... just as well as they know that some pilots like to toolsheed and some pilots like to furball and that these have different views on how the game should be played....

HTC are intelligent people.

Personally I can only see one reason for the never ending discussions.... Therapy....

Spending 1 second worrying about a strangers idea of about what "game ethics" apply, is a bigger waste if time then counting the peanuts in a steaming heap of feces.

mystic, I agree that there are many people here that do not contribute anything helpful to a discussion and sometimes just reply to anger others for self satisfaction.  

You play the game to fly with your squaddies and have fun with each other.  You must also remember that you are to have fun with the enemy you are flying against.  Lately, there are still those who gang up others in the MA, 4v1 or even 10v1.  I had many 7v1s last night.  No one has fun fighting against a large group way out numbered.

Remember what happens when FSO's are unbalanced, it's no fun on the smaller side, so a squad is placed on the other team for the next frame.


Just remember, you have the power to ignore any attacks posted on this bbs.
Time's fun when you're having flies.

Wow... you have full time enemies?

See, I change sides, alot. Therefore, somebody I treated very poorly may just be the guy with the option to clear my 6 in a few minutes. If somebody was a dick to me, and the next day, I'm on their side, and they're yelling for help with 2 guys on them... do you really think I'm gonna roll in to the rescue, or just let them die, then start my attack?

On the flipside of that, treat me badly, and I'll change to YOUR side, .wingman you, and start calling in friends to come cherrypick you relentlessly. You won't even know I'm doing it, just that you're having a really bad night (or nights, should I be really mad).

Any game where there's such easy ways of griefing others should be played with alittle respect to the guys you're shooting at. There's no such thing as a permanent enemy in this game. Just food for thought.

I guess one would assume that you have actually spent time thru personal experience on the amount of time that one wastes on counting peanuts in a streaming heap of feces seeing that you speak with such authority on the subject.

We all know your feelings on what you think of people in a game ... "Rut-Ro ... I am going to be killed ... time to grief ... err I mean bail !!! ... enter-enter-enter"

You seem passionate about what you posted ... for the price of a long distance call, why don't you call HT or Pyro and vent on them ... they alone decided on the change. After you get done talking to them, please post how the conversation went and what you talked about.


Actually Slapshot, the post I think is great.  As is yours.  Especially your 2nd paragraph.  Maybe less censoriousness all around might go a bit to "drag out more mud and conflict."  What do you think?

I disagree.  I think the game rocks!  In 3 months, with the changes behind us or the changes fully assimilated by us, we'll be fine.  I'd like to see fuel porking brought back though :)

Yep that's about it :)

To suggest anything further becomes an argument that somehow HTC is limiting a squad from flying together.  

This isn't true as a 32 man squad rarely has all 32 up at one time.  More then likely about a third of that so arena size isn't going to affect it.

BUT!  The argument has been that HTC has made flying with your squadron impossible because of arena limits.  This of course isn't true unless you accept the notion that 3 squads with the same name is actually one squad.....which it isn't :)
