Oxymorons for toolshedders

[T0J0]

I keep seeing the phrases
"Win at all costs:
or
"Defend at all costs"

Which is similar to "Jumboshrimp" "Government organization" "taped live"etc

When refering to the toolshedders war on virtual concrete and lumber...

And Im wondering when a toolshedder chest puffs with the defend at all costs phrase, how is that fun? Why the fixation on destroying or protecting CGI homedepot products?

What is this "All cost" and how much does it cost in virtual costs?
Maybe you toolshedders are like removing fingers with a hacksaw if you loose a base to incure some real loss with pain?

Second day of playing someone on text was going on about how the goal of the game was to WIN  and take airfields. When I said maybe it wasn't, I had maybe 4 or 5 people telling me "I didn't get it".

I thought that was a queer way to look at this sim, I thought the point of a video game was to have fun

point of the game,,in you individual oppinion may be to have fun...

,But WINNING has a fun all its own, now doesnt it?

I could care less about the war. Im rarely around to see the reset when it comes. Ive yet to see a victory parade. Its always the same. "You have T-4 minutes until arena reset" (Whoooop whooop!) Then wham. Re-enter, start again.

  No matter whats going on in "the war", whats important to me is "the battle" thats happening at the moment Im on. Be it in a fighter, trying to find a good area to fight in, bombing a target, sitting in a 5inch gun, even tooling around in a GV, whatever Im doing at that moment is whats important.


One day...
   "Kill the ack!!" No. Not right now. Im on a fighter sweep and really dont want a robot ack gun to ruin my moment of fun.

Another day..
   "Kill the ack!!" Ok, otw, I have bombs for the GV too.


  It all depends on the mood. The war doesnt exist for me.

If owning more little chess pieces than the other guys floats your boat, then by all means, just dont berate people who actually want to do some of the flying in aces high.

Thankfully, you can find anything you want in AH.  GV's, buffs, toolshedding, and outright dogfighting.

I continue to be amazed at the denigration of anyone not enjoying the game YOUR way.

Do you really require such validation in life, that what you do is the only answer and everyone else is a moron?

Pay your $15 and play the game your way.   Let others play it their way.

True oxymorons for toolshedders:

While flying over... "The hangers are down"

While in a GV... "High (insert plane type here)"

[john9001]

well it's obvious, no "battles"or"furballs" ever happened trying to take or defend a base in AH.

tojo it costes a lot....... i meen it takes like a 12 pack of faygo and a whole box of hotpockets usually...... but then me and my friends are all like "all your base are belong to us"......  but then nobody responds, i say its cause they r skurred of our goodness and stuff...... but other peoples say its because were the only ones on in the arena...........  but in the end its all worth while cause my mom can almost afford all the hotpockets... and then we r all lik wooooooo we won the war and we get or 25 perks..... but then we cant even use em cause eny is at like 40 and im sad......... uh oh my moms yellin cause i spiled a faygo on grandma..... bye.

WOW this coming from a guy who doesn't play, and when he did he was a toolshedder. And my friend and X-squaddie, I believe ya need to paying 14.95 to be making these comments, and actually play the game. and most importantly know how to dogfight when ya do play. which ya don't.

Talk about posting for the sake of posting, why don't ya just hold up a sign that says "Look at Me"

seriously disapointed in ya, stirrin the pot in the O'club is one thing, comin here to start crop and incite the younger chest thumpers is wrong.

This subject has been beaten past death

and before you try and retort with "I said it's my observation"

I know what your up to, just stirrin

now back away from the keyboard and go get some sun ya pasty white pot stirrer

OK Geary I got it now! "At all cost" is in relation to the cost of Hot pockets and cheesy Poofs during the Battle to defend virtual concrete...  Or a twelve pack of Budlight with a fresh date... "At all cost" Pity I was wrong about the hacking off of fingers though....

BTW..My account is active, tradeshow season I rarely fly... Maybe once a month or so until summer slow season.

[yanksfan]

you are kidding right, most of the best battles i have ever seen have been over base taking,
 But, thats the great thing about the game, you can play it so many different ways and have fun.
 Why is it people attack each other for it.I just don't get that.

 All hail the forum warriers!

The noob Generals have been out in force lately.  I had a noob named W1lk tell me how stupid I am because I didn't care if we lost a particular base.  The guy typed so much that I and several others were forced to squelch him.  Friendly attempts to advise him there were other goals in the game were met w/ insults.  We still need a permasquelch option, IMHO.
