 The original ACA had no tanks, no boats, no bombers, limited plane set, FR, and a reduced price. As a fur baller, Id sign up for that in a heart beat.

I dont tell others how to enjoy their play time.

I do stupid things on a nightly basis, like attacking a gaggle of N1Ks in my La5fn.  

 I even get  a tad upset when I see silly strat implemented in the game  ,but then I come back to earth realising that there will always be another base to capture tommorow, the arena is not static.

 Kind of simple really.

I'll remember that. Next time you got a couple N1K's on your 6 and I'm around don't ask me for help. Remember.. you're not on my team or anyone else's team!

It's not juvenile, but you just don't want to see the forest through the trees.

You said "I don't have to be on a team because you are anyone else wants me to!"

Okay, if you don't want to be on the same team as me then I won't feel obligated to help you. I won't even feel like helping you. Get my drift? If you don't want to work with me, why should I work with you?

AKSeaWulfe,

You seem to think teamwork and furballing are mutually exclusive for some reason. I'm a furballer, who rarely plays the "strat" game, but if I see a teammate, yes a teammate, in trouble, I'll gladly dive in and lend a hand.  Teamwork is utilized in furballs all the time...clearing sixes for example.
Some guys are into the "fly and fight" thing, some are into the "war" thing.  Lots of room for both.  The problem starts when one tries to tell the other how to do things...a recipe for trouble in RL too.

Bowser, you aren't alone on this one.

I don't think anyone is actually reading and understanding what I typed in my original post. First of all I'm not telling anyone to do anything, I'm telling you that if you are going to fly on a team then you should work together with the others on your team-- that is all.

I said way at the beginning of my post, I furball or I should say dogfight 90% of the time. Check my stats, 90% of it are in a fighter.

I said furballing should be pushed away simply because the guys don't want to work with everyone else. They want to stay at one field and fly between another one. Die, and then repeat.

If you want to do fighters, you can still help the guys that are doing the land grab thing.. I do and I don't get bored at all. I usually get 6-7 A2A kills keeping the skies clear for the guys moving the mud down below.

My point was, is and always will be: You can help the land grab even if all you do is fly fighters. Just give those mud moving fellas some cover. You can get a number of kills, furball to your hearts content and the field will be captured. Press on to the next field and do it all over again.

I will restate again: I am not against furballing, it's a very fun experience. However I firmly believe and have experienced time and time again, you can furball over a base while the guys who want to take it can take it.

No one tells me what to do, I hear a request for help at some location I'll be there in a jiffy.

Go ahead, check my stats and then tell me I'm not a furballer.

This whole thread reminds me of those great   HO threads of yester-month.

"You must NOT HO! HO is not playing the game correctly. I do not HO. You must be like me!"

"au contraire! ho is/was a legitimate tactic. i can play anyway I like. you can avoid almost any HO if you try. i don't have to be like you!"

Point One: You pay your money and play the way you want to play.

Point Two: If it's in the game, it's in the game. Strat and furball are both in the game.
Resets happen; life (and the game) goes on.

Point Three: If everyone spent a little less time worrying about how the other guy lives his life we'd all be happier...IMHO.

 

Don't worry, be happy. Line up the pipper, squeeze the trigger!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Well... now what?

Toss out the baby with the bathwater?

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAHHH! *thump*

On that note (and since it couldn't get any worse)

Anybody know any good dead baby jokes?

Sure Hang, i got a really OLD one to start it off.

A would be father eagerly awaits news of his first born. Out comes to doc, carrying a baby. To the fathers surprise, the doc grabs the baby by the legs, thwaps in into  a neaby table, kicks it across the room, uses it as an American football and lastly throws it in the trashcan.

"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!? YOU KOILLED MY BABY!" the man yells.

"No, I am just joking. The baby was dead from birth".

<tadaboom>

Distateful, innit?

I like Lephturn's idea of a furballing island, I want that to happen really bad. That way everyone who doesn't want to be part of the team and wants to do their own thing CAN do it with no hard feelings.

I think it's a good idea too, but I must clarify that it's not my idea.  The "furball islane" idea is one that my squadmate eagl has been suggesting for some time.  It was just that as we discussed the issue in another thread I started to see how great his idea was, and I repeated it.  

Furball Island surrounded by the normal "strat" stuff in the rest of the arena is what I would like to see tried.  I'm not much for organization outside of just flying with my squad.  I don't want to take the whole strat war away from anybody else, but I want to be able to do my thing in the same arena.  I think the "furball island" with indestructible fields will accomodate both groups in the same arena and possibly keep folks from logging off when the "strat" folks start rolling up the map.

As the originator of the thread, let me just say, I shoulda said....


...lemme alone, I'm having fun!

No need to get upset guys, it's a big world.  

Oh, by the way, love the fighter island concept...  perfect for the times when I have only half an hour to play!
