he actually meant "enema":rolleyes:

and im lost on how someone can "abuse" chat report?  if someone is vulgar and abusive and i hit report...then it is up to HTC and the monitors if it is substantial enough to take action.  if you dont like losing privileges then i suggest being civil and staying within the rules.

oh and dont berate in a vulgar manner someone who you know has 20 guys on ch with him....fyi

its a game guys...have fun with it:aok

Not sure how the report text system works.
However if there is an automated component like the mute bot I could see how.

Say it runs like this. After 10 reports to the mute bot a player is muted.
I could see how a particular group could abuse this.

If it works different than that , I am flat wrong.

Anyone able to clarify how system works ?

Heck at 2am there was a bish cv with a rook cv right behind it both attacking 41 and no cv group was attacking the other.

Then again nits seem to be thier own worst enemy lately I started out a rook, went bish and was squaded with my old aw buddies as nit. Nits are alot slower on calling cons, 6 checks, and never EVER deack a field. Where I noticed rooks communicate pretty good and most bish will brave ack to take out a few.

Boils down to teamwork.


So..... If I am flying for the Rooks I will be better at communication with fellow Rooks?
If I fly Nits I will just suck ungodly at everything?
So what do I get if I fly bish all the time?  A cookie?

I as well as my fellow AK's rotate to the low numbers when needed.  We don't sit in one country all the time.  I like being called a horde when you fly as a squad.  What is the point of being in a squad then?  I have done alot of GV-ing with dr7, this past weekend him and I were shooting at each other!  And you know what, it is fun!!  This is a war game, not real life war.  You are not going to get shot for switching countries.  Heck I got to shoot at my CO one night... not often you get to do that!

i understand what you are saying bronk..i dont think it is automatic or the very folks getting muted would be organizing "mute" attacks on folks...also doubt HT would allow an 8 day suspension without a staff member okaying it.

Seems over the last few days Nits have been getting hit hard nearly makes me want to go fly them again.  But usually i cant stand having to squelch all of the pre-teens.

50% of each is a little high.  Maybe lower it a touch.

But i'm with storch on the reset thing does make better fights when people realise there is no point in taking anymore undefended  fields in a 40 player horde (Bish).


same wave length as me bruv,
would like to see more maps of this style, but rotated every week or less, and say 40% ownership required.

p.s, we have 40 player 'hordes' which are just team work;) , and you have 40k rook-o-naut  pilots :D

Teamwork is one way of putting it.
