This thread has turned into a nothing but a joke. I think that the folks that like TT should be able to enjoy it and no one should be able to take that away from them.... Carry on men.

the point is, if they enjoy it so much, they should be able to defend it. instead they sit there spawn camping while the bases around them disapear.

Unfortunately for the TT crowd, the 'win the war' crowd realizes how integral the center island is...thats why you see TT taken away by one side so often now (especially due to the new capture constraints)

The v bases themselves aren't important other than they can harrass and take back the air bases on the center island...so they will continue to NOT be left alone either.

The last times the TT map has been won, the winning side has taken all of the center and well before the map was won. They push the enemy out of the center, then isolate them to a narrow front and a couple of bases to operate from.

Guys like Masherbum and other like minded cronies can beat their chest, pull their hair and wring their hands and blame it ALL ON ME if that works for them. FACT is that all sides are doing this and I ALONE can hardly account for this problem.

But is there a PROBLEM? Seems a simple change to me, easily handled if HTC wanted to. There have been numerous posts on this issue but no changes and NO WORD from HTC one way or another...so I can only conclude things are occuring EXACTLY as they want them too.

Want a tank-top to go with those flip-flops?

yes I mispoke. doesn't change the price of tea in China, and they are relative terms anway. I've noticed that the center island gets captured first, then the battle extends out from the center. I play rooks and bish and knits have won the last couple of times just like that....not the "10 minutes before map changed' as Donzo pointed out.

Learn to read, please.

I have never said anything about "10 minutes before map changes".

Anytime I have said anything about "10 min" it has been in reference to TT being taken 10 min AFTER a reset has occured...you know, new map, just started, TT captured, the win the war crusade stopping after this point. What you do so well and try to defend with silly logic.

And it does matter that you "mispoke". It just goes to show that the "excuse" you have in your mind doesn't jive with the reasons you actually do what you do; they are in conflict and you slip up sometimes.

You are transparent.

I see we've moved off the topic of how to identify bbs handles.

Glad he was able to work past it.

Sorry my mistake. I thought you were saying that TT basis were captured just before the reset was occuring (as to say leave TT alone until the very end)

We still both agree the TT vbases should be made uncapturable. Maybe we could also agree that I am not the sole party responsible for all the TT captures happening?

We never said you were .
However the others don't come here looking for praise. Thinking they have found the holy grail for map taking. OR...That they are the end all be all of land grabbing.

BTW, the reason the TT fields get taken is because GV fields are so easy to capture. Give 'em the acks of an airfield and about 4 more hangers scattered around and it would change.

Look at my stats. I rarely hop in a GV. HOWEVER, If ANYONE (no pun intended) has the urge to spawncamp, die quick deaths, land a few pelts, they SHOULD BE AFFORDED the opportunity.

I'm simply stating for the MF'in 100th time. I do NOT play this game to intentionally piss people off.

DREDger keeps dodging the real issue and continues to be mocked. It will not change my outlook.

These threads are a smart-arsed way for you to flaunt it. Again, there is NO reason for anyone to start five threads with the same topic, within 2 months.

Nobody ever you "were the only one". However, you have "revived" the latest "paybacks", by taking it.

thing is, TT map is probably one of the BEST GV maps out there, and not just because of TT. the islands are all good gv wars too.....

SFMA is also quiet good for tank battles. Why do we need TT?

well people want TT because they want to spawn camp and not have to work for kills. same can be said for the people killing gvs at TT etc.... its there game, they can do it there way.

Praise, r u joking...on these posts? I'd just as soon jump into a river of crocks looking for companionship.

I've never claimed what you say, that is your inference. But you (and masherbum) are just provocateurs anyway, from what I gather.

BTW, the reason the TT fields get taken is because GV fields are so easy to capture. Give 'em the acks of an airfield and about 4 more hangers scattered around and it would change.

Thats not a bad idea either, I did a similar post on wishlist for Vbase hangers to be spread out more, that way 'one' bomber can't take it out. (though I am not sure that would stop the vbase takes, when enuf get together to take the TT airfield, and it takes alot, they will all be ready and willing to go towards the vbase.)

However, you have "revived" the latest "paybacks", by taking it.

No, sorry masherbum that isn't correct. That is analogous to saying 'if we leave the terrorists alone they will leave us alone' ... or 'we are just provoking the terrorists by being in afghanistan' They will come after the TT bases irregardless if I play or not.

When there is no penalty for drop ord, bail/auger, rinse , repeat.
It is all but undefendable when the nearest support is a close to sector away.
That and most of the tt crowd are like a herd of cats.
