A question of respect...

They are not my rules OR my sandbox.  I never said they were. However you are right on the mark when you say "...and the rules that are accepted by most of the players that have been there for years."  This observation (and the unwritten rules of conduct) has been entirely lost in the MA, but still holds true in the Special Events arena and (to a lesser degree) in the AvA. The backlash you are so fervently railing against is what is perceived by others as a blatant disregard.  That you recognize it and acknowledge them to some degree puts you above 99% of the "new" crowd, and for that I salute you.

To be clear, you haven't ruined my fun, I haven't run across you or your squad yet, and if you did 'ruin my fun', I would simply shrug and log off, without a ch 200 wankfest or a lengthy diatribe on the boards (of course sans punctuation and grammar).

That's just my style, though.  I won't be punching any crying babies in Mickey D's like Tiger seems to think.

Sorry Scottydawg....was just playing around with the name thing. Wasn't meant as name calling.....call me rupture...lol, my nickname...
I am not diregarding the rules set by the others. THAT HAS BEEN MY POINT. We have been doing our best to enjoy ourselves in the arena WITHOUT interfering with the gameplay of others. We, at the beginning, explained our intentions and made it clear that if we decide to dogfight on any gioven night, we will not HO, not gangbang and not vulch...and do our best to "fit in"....but on nights that we have missions, we will do our best to stay away from the dogfights, but if you decide to defend or engage us, we will do what is necessary to complete our planned mission. A couple of weeks ago, we announced 0on the BB that we were going to dogfight and although some may think that we ignored the "rules of combat", we did not do so intentionally. We did not gang bang, although sometimes it may seem like we did...we dfid not vulch, although one person claimed we did but no one else concurred...and we certainly didn't.
All we are saying is we will do our own thing and not interfere on certain nights. Unfortunately, when the opposition decides to defend against us they then accuse us  of not playing fair. It is a big map. I dont get it.
Sorry for the name thing. Really..... meant no harm. Looks kind of childish in retrospect

Thanks for the appology Storch, shows a lot of character to say so.
I agree getting ganged sucks, but unfortunately you can't control other peoples play, and you can't really expect someone engaged, to disengage because more people enter the fray.

As for the Avengers....well I just have to laugh. As self proclaimed "Kings of the WWII sandbox", I doubt you'll have much luck convincing them to play nice.

What's all this talk about crapping on tables and such. What if I wanted to eat my fries while on the crapper but couldn't because the shift manager was playing onion ring toss with my Big Mac and trying to feed me her cherry pie?

This thread's getting boring. I just want to ask Rapturd one thing.

As I read your misspelled, mispunctuated, misaligned, misconceived, meandering missives with the fascination of a drive by gawker at the scene of an accident, I am horrified at the carnage but unable to avert my gaze. They are replete with periods, devoid of spacing, randomly capitalized rambling rants and I wonder. Are they sad yet sincere attempts at communication, harbingers of reverse evolutionary decline, or merely a clever ruse to make the reader believe you are an idiot?

Aretha Franklin:Think

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Think (think-think) let your mind go
Let yourself be free

Let's go back - let's go back
A let's go way on to way back when
I didn't even know you
You couldn't a been too much more than ten (just a child)

I ain't no psychiatrist
I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much I.Q.
To see what you're doing to me

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Yeah, think (think-think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

Oh freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom
oh,freedom (yeah)

Oh freedom
Oh freedom (freedom)
oh freedom
Oh freedom

Oh ya got to have
Hey! think about it
You! think about it

There ain't nothin' you could ask
I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
But I was gonna change ya, I'm not
If ya keep doin' things I don't (don't)

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' ta do to me
(What you're tryin' to do to me)
Oh-oh-oh think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walk around everyday
Playin' games and takin' scores
Tryin' to make other people lose their mind
Well, be careful you don't lose yours

Ooh think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Woo-hoo, think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't cha' know)
Without each other
There ain't nothin' we two can do

Oooh yeah, think about it, baby
(What 'cha tryin' to do to me, think)
Better go baby, think about it right now

Yeah, right now (tell about - forgiveness)
Woo, right now (tell about - forgiveness)
Hey, right now (tell about - forgiveness)
I need to change your mind (think about it)
Baby, baby, baby
(Tell about it - forgiveness)
Woo, tell about it baby (tell about - forgiveness)
FADES-
Yeah, woo-hoo (tell about - forgiveness)
Tell about it baby, you think about it right now

My cover has been blown! Yes, Kong...all you said is true.

I am half tempted to pop into the AvA Thur. night with some WM's.

jamusta and me are going to slap you Avengers silly

[storch]

a player (CPID Bruin) comes into the arena tonight, in a spit in his ack and Ho'n.  I call him on it he whimpers some blather and logs off.

I contend that this arena has no need for players who will only play by MA standards.

and I wrong?

  Is this the "repeat" part of the "rinse" part.  I'm new and trying to get all this stuff straight.

Seriously though, maybe you used the 80 grit when 220 would have sufficed.

[storch]

80?  no need to finess anyone son, type what's on your mind.
