12 Hour Country Switch SUCKS!

...you are completely and utterly full of sh_t!...

...you are a blind ass...

My English language is quite limited and I'm very happy to learn some new phrases  

Keep up good work !

My opinion (unsolicited of course) is that the team with advantage should go for reset, every time.

Rooks are not the only country to have done this.

It's a 24/7 game folks.   What happens in your time slot can be very different in another.

I was in on this discussion the first time it went around; the sides are as entrenched now as before.

If I was in the situation of being on the small side, having been vultched for several hours with no obvious attempt by the big side to effect a reset, I would quite likely jump to the high side and do it myself. I personally feel this is the counter-tactic to an enemy that plays with its food too long.  

If I was on the low side and saw even one C47 trying to get in, I would stay on low side and fight until the end.

Of course this whole aspect of the argument is soon to be moot; it will be very difficult for any large team to explain why they didn't send bombers to a field to kill hangars, ammo, fuel, etc. to make defense impossible unless they are just looking for easy kills. Holding a vastly numerically inferior team to two fields will be inexcusable.

The spy issue? Yup, that is the real concern. Is 12 hours really necessary to prevent spying? I don't think so, but I am only one voice. I wish it was more like 3 hours, because I might log in at 3 different times in a day. My preference is always to fill out the low side. I hate logging in in the AM, going lowside, then coming back in the PM to see that 2/3 of the arena is on my team. I like flying with everyone, but I don't want to fly with everyone.

SO:you did a nice job on strat, you did a nice work on conquering fields...but you,rooks, you try to paly a loop on the game to win a LOT of kills by vulching undefended fiends. THat is Shameful, if fact when i was newbie I changed sides from rookland because I saw no interests on winning wars (plus very weak 6 calls).

For the record I was only involved in capturing the fields needed to launch the strat strikes.  Once the strat work had been completed I turned north (if I remember correctly, we Rooks were in the west, but I dinnae remember who was in the south and north) to do it up there.

Ram,
Generalizations tend weaken one's point, not strengthen it (as in all rooks are not interesting in forcing resets)....

As you say, only my observation......

Funny, that is how I remembered this horsey ride.  

At the time, I did not notice that the Bishop's only had two fields, but I was silly that way.  Red was red and green was green back then.  I seldom looked to actually see who it was I was fighting.  I just figured "If they Red they Dead".

I certainly don't remember much profanity in the text buffer that particular evening.  I do remember laughing about it at the time.  BTW it has not happened since so I assume the fix worked.  

This is one dead horsey, no?

Well cobra...I only know that during 5 hours a country was ravaged and vulched and noone moved a finger to avoid it. Only one pilot could have done it right. There was noone who tried to do the reset...and when one forced it, the hell fell over him.

Yep, its usually bad to generalize. But as this thing happened more times (I can remember 2 weeks ago bishcuits were reduced to F1 and F4, we knits attackin f1, Rooks f4...we tried to sneak several goons...rook tried to sneak NONE!!! at least that was what some bishops reported), then i must think that this is a thing in wich all rooks agree: not to force a reset.

as I said, facts are facts, cobra. 5 hours. No goon. I think this is clear enough.

Ram,
I'll speak in specifics and only for the Musketeers (the squad I belong too).

We do go for the capture, even if that means a reset.  

We also go for the strat targets (i.e. our low-level bomb runs of late) and we try to have fun as well.

So, again broad generalizations usually tend to over-simplify or miss the mark a little.  

I really don't think it is some vast Rook consipiracy (at least not that I notice while I fly which is almost every night during east coast Hours and yes, the wife is mad as hell about it...hehe).  

Hell we have trouble just getting organized enough to defend bases some nights.

Usually "facts" from one perspective can be somewhat different than "facts" from another perspective.

Ram, your statement:

"you, the rooks, only care for VULCHING. Yeah is true. Dont tell me about the heavy work on strat and so...Strat is done to WIN the war. the war is WON WHEN YOU MAKE A ENEMY COUNTRY LOSE ALL BUT ONE fields! PERIOD!"

This statement did not refer to just one day.  Written in the present tense, it is a general statement, and a false one.  You slandered all Rooks with this comment, and as a Rook I am personally offended by it.

I stand by my comments.

well yes, is not on past, because I've seen it again recently, funked...2 weeks ago to be exact, and that taking in account that this week I came much less time than weeks before, so I may bave lost something...


It is clear that everybody isnt the same, but many rooks dont like winning wars, and the ones that like it doesnt do it many times.

anyway is my last post in this subject.

[funked]

OK Ram, I accept that.  Just be careful in the future.  A lot of us try to win the war and play nice ya know!
