Starch, please don't cross the "liar" line. I don't care if you continue to stay SAFELY ANONYMOUS and shoot out more insults from behind your manly monitor. Whatever. We've been here for years. HiTech & Crew have not forcefully disbanded us, much to your disappointment. This kind of bullpucky will go on for years to come, and it solves nothing. It accomplishes nothing.

And Falc is right. Not only do we have our squad on squadnight, but Dogz of War, Dickweeds, Dustoffs, LTAR, and many others take it upon themselves to tune in, and they and many others are always welcome. ( you guys:) ) The only thing we as BOPs need to do more often, is reciprocate in kind, IMO.

I've also appreciated Waffle for his respect of us. If anyone knows absolutley that we have fun above all else, it's him. I've had fun flying with him when he was a BOP, with him when he resigned from the squad, and against him when he chooses to be Knit or Rook.

Storch, you could choose to learn a few things from him, but based on your past behavior, I believe you would think that it is beneath you to learn to be a good model of sportsmanship.

On another aspect of this whole issue, I've run into great players, such as Simaril:aok , who has said in the past that he doesn't agree with our policy of staying Bish, BUT he is another one that I respect BECAUSE HE RESPECTS US, regardless. I've had fun whenever I've encountered him, (mostly getting my prettythang kicked by him:D ).

Again, you could be a man and learn from these guys, and others like them, or you can be the "Pencil-Neck Geek" behind the monitor, safe at home after work, reveling in your own self-righteousness.

Were talking about the split of LW arenas, What goes on in the EW and MW has no effect on the LW arena other than scores. The "milkrunners" have had a big impact on the scores. I think that is what B@tfink means. So those who fly in the LW arena and want the "one arena" back are the ones hurting because they can't compete with the milkrunners in the other arenas.

Batfink is a super guy but...  That has absolutely nothing to do with the reason the majority of us who do want the MA back are voicing our opinions.

That is about as unfair a statement as if I said the only ones who want the arenas smaller are those who want to be able to cherrypick some isolated chump and expect to fly home without someone tagging HIS six.

oldman

 if i insulted you, then i apologize...and the comment had nothing to do with status...but behaviors i have observed numerous times with folks who participate in that product...i realize it is a generalization but he represents exactly what i dislike about the folks who represent AMWAY that i have come in contact with...(that includes peers and professionals who i feel prey on their staff and patients)

unfortunately i do have great disdain for that product and especially the manner in which is spread...i feel there is a lot of deception involved under the guise of Christian values and "befriending" someone...

again i apologize if i have somehow inadvertently offended you, your behaviors have never been anything but gentlemanly...and it is bothersome to me if i have caused you discomfort..

By and large my absence is driven by three things.  I've got a (relatively) new job, and I pretty much stopped playing anything when I was job hunting.  The second is that we're in the process of selling our house, so my controllers are all packed up.  And the third is that these days World of Warcraft is just more fresh than Aces High when I do feel like playing something.

Unfortunately, when your controllers are all packed away, you can't fly even when you do feel the urge to log in and do it.  Hopefully that'll change soon though if this damn house will ever sell.

It isn't me you insulted, Falc.

The greater point is this:  What we do in real life has nothing to do - at all - with our view of AH, its problems, its great points.  We're all equal here.  If you're a doctor and Storch sells Amway, that has no impact on whether it's better to fly in big groups, or dive from high altitudes, or work to reset the map.  AW, and now AH, are ageless and vocationless (what a lousy term).  I wish we had the old AW4Win screen back again, that showed the young and old, the wise and stupid, all together.  Real World occupations have no bearing here.  It's very important - very important - that we all remember this.
