Laugh? Sigh? Scratch your head?
Just observations of stupidity...
The other night after scanning the map, I decide on a launch and target field. On the way there I watch a friendly mission on dar change heading toward the field I'm going to. They are going to arrive there before me. There goes the idea of finding a few secluded fight, but oh well. When I get to the enemy field, I see ack, VH, & FH is down, and percent of town reports are being given on range channel. Good mission I think. Then as I orbit and survey the situation, I watch with zero enemy resistance, these guys continue to flatten the field until no destroyable object was left standing. All the while, range chatter inticates the map room will be taken in short order. Wtf? Are these guys that retarded? Or just afraid to actually have to fight a live person?
That was the extent of the land grab in that area the 3+ hours I was on. The reason being that the 'mishun' guys that have so much fun landgrabbing, shot themselves and their local countrymen in the foot by an unwarrented porking of our front line field that otherwise could have supported future land grab/fights.
Yes, I critiqued at the time. Yes, I complained (whined if you prefer) for the next hour everytime I was inconvienienced to another field with the resources I wanted because I knew who porked the field. Yes, I know I could resupply the field, but I'm not the retard who porked our own resources needlessly!Edit:
I know the reply to this one..."Too many times that lone La7 has gotten up and killed the goon". Re-read it, no FH, no VH, no resistance. If 20 guys can't keep something from getting from the field to the town, you don't deserve to get the capture.
Here's another one. Late night, low numbers, two fields furballing back and forth. Eventually, inevitably, one side gets a numbers advantage. I know from experience, when it's a limited number of enemies at off-peak times you have to extend a small bit of curtousy if you don't want to be left playing with yourselves. It's nice when everyone else around knows that also, but it is becomming rare.
"There's only a couple guys willing to up, at least let them get out of ack"
BOOM
"Comon guys at least take turns or they'll leave"
BOOM
"Guess they all logged, I'm logging too"
"Have fun playing with yourselves idiots"
On the other hand, I've continued to have hours more fun in the same situation, when the guys with the numbers have the sense enough to allow the few willing opposers at least a chance of fighting for a bit.
I also love the off-peak furball killer. There will be a CV off shore, just at the edge of visible range from the field. 30+ players are just having fun going at it, and nobody is making a serious effort to capture the field, or sink the CV. Along comes the crack bomber pilot from 4 sectors away to deal with this threat to their national security. Thank you. Thank you so much for sinking that CV. Your other 18 countrymen that have been enjoying the game defending that area thank you. Even the 15 enemy players thank you for removing the uncomfortable experience of competing with actual live players from that situation. You're my hero.
So from a previous reply, I agree with:
The best- The community
and I'll add The worst- The people
