My statements apply to everyone who insists that they should be able to fly whatever they want without any limitations, despite the tremendous numerical advantage they enjoy. While you may have been the first to get your skirt in a bunch, I am not referring to you singularly. I thought I made that clear in my earlier posts. Sorry if that confused you.
M'kay, maybe we should slow this down and actually talk, then.
I don't like the way you enter a thread and bandy your opinion around like it's god's knowledge and everybody else is wrong.
I don't like being told by someone who really doesn't have a clue what my motives are.
I don't like listening to people being called wrong because someone else thinks so. The way you do it just smacks of how the religious right gets things done, through guilt and belittlement. That, more than anything you do, is what gets my "skirts in a bunch".
This is wikipedias take on
loyalty. This is very simplified, from my point of view, but does convey the basics. Maybe you and I have a different definition of loyalty?

Starting to drift off topic, but the root cause here isn't ENY restrictions, or ENY values for the A/C. It's the players who insist on creating the disparity in numbers. The only way for ENY to work is prevent people from access to anything competitive in a particular arena. The only way to manage that is to make the ENY restriction higher, faster, and disable just about everything. I don't think HT really wants whining on that large a scale, but (since I don't have to answer his phone or deal with his email ), I'd like to see a more restrictive setup tried at least once.
I disagree. The numbers fluctuate on a regular bases. Most of the time I'm on, it's the rooks that are shorthanded. Sometimes it's the knights, but mostly rooks. I spend most of my time flying for rooks and defending against the bishops, who are defending from the knights, who are defending from the rooks, who are defending from the bishops.... Every now and again the wheel changes direction. I don't see it as a numbers disparity but as more of a "path of least resistance" style of play.
ENY usually won't affect me in my choice of spitfires. Actually, I've only seen ENY affect the country I'm currently fighting for twice. When that happens, I'll go to an earlier arena. But I'll agree on a stricter ENY. Maybe it'll slow the bishops on their quest for world domination. But along with a higher ENY, maybe more of the "core bases" can be un-capturable? Change the capture system to 80%/30%/30% and make 25% of the fields un-capturable. That will stop the hammering and force the horde to turn around every now and again.
