How could anybody possibly know if that quote is true or not?
How could anybody know if you are the only squad to do this? (and "this" is somewhat vague)
Also, how can one single squad claim credit for a map reset? What is the qualifier?
It was an A8 who's troops ran into the map room? (see WM example @ the bottom of thread)
It was ONLY A8 squad members at the final field for those three resets? (no other rook was with the A8's helping with that last field)
Which capture is the most important in a reset? The first or the last?
What about the squad that captured 20+ bases on the way to the reset? Is the squad that took that final base somehow more responsible for the reset vs. the sqaud that took far more bases, just not that final one?
How can you claim a reset in the first place. A map reset is much more than just that final base imho. The ONLY way you could "claim a reset" for a country would be if your squad were the only people participating in the reset or did the vast majority of the work in getting that reset. i.e. you took all the bases w/o any help what so ever from any other Rook. Considering that most resets take days to happen, that would be a very difficult/unreasonable claim to make.
I remember one base capture where the WidowMakers did basically everything. We killed town/vh/nme gv's/ack, capped it etc. Another player rolled an m3 and got troop to the maproom. The only thing they did was run troops, the WM's did everything else.
Who's capture was it?
I would say that this thread has been beaten to death and the original topic at hand has been declared resolved.
Consider this WMlute... after 2, 3 or 4 consecutive bases are taken by a squad without outside help (ie; a non-squad participant), no other base designation other than those 2, 3 or 4 bases are displayed in the text buffer and then POOF... "the Rooks have won the war" text comes about. Thats how you determine if those bases won the war. This means...at that time, only A8's troops went into the map room, only the A8's were at the field at the time of capture. It then so appears that the A8's can lay claim to the reset as per the original statement by A8Balls.
Now, if you would have read my response to the original topic by Dadsguns, you would have an explanation of what the original statement was refering to.
As to "How can one single squad claim credit for a map reset?". We don't and didn't as far as the AH community is concerned. Everyone who plays AH knows that no single squad can reset a map by itself (unless of course there are no other squads in that arena..like thats ever going to happen).
The claim that we, the Aces & 8's, are credited for 3 consecutive resets is for our own benefit. That claim is on our squad web site, not here on the HTC Forums. Reason being, we cannot prove it.
It doesn't matter if we can prove it or not. To you and anyone else that is not an A8, it doesn't matter. We did it, we know we did it and as long as we, as a squad, know we did and can do it, thats all that matters.
The whole point of this thread has been thrown around twisted 3 ways to Sunday. All Dadsguns asked for was a clarification of a statement that he read while visiting our site. Thats all.
I think this thread should be locked and the topic concidered resolved, squashed, done.
