You missed a whole section of my post.

By "positive" do you mean a k/d ratio above 1? Bull. Well less than 1/4 of the people playing the game have that, and half the ones who do are vulching, picking, and milking it for all they're worth. And if you ever try to defend bases while heavily outnumbered you'll blow that ratio for your whole tour to hell in one night. I've lost 12 or 15 planes in one fight that way sometimes, because like everyone says, hey, they're just pixels, right?

This is the sort of BS logic you and some of the other panties-in-a-bunch crowd are always tossing off here. You say all the newer players suck and everyone who doesn't fly the way you like sucks, and define "suck" as not being in the top 5%. You're a fool. There are 2,000 people playing in LW this week who have the capability to get some kills and even some kills outside of a horde but get killed more often than they kill. And THOSE are the people who keep this business going. And even the guys who have a ratio of 0.2, you don't know if that's because they suck but can get a few by taking no risks, or if they're seeking out better foes. You can't see that from scroes.

In other words, you talked out your a**. Saying you're wrong doesn't mean everything you are against is right. It just means you're acting like a jerk and exaggerating everything you complain about. Hordes don't do the things you complain about because it's physically impossible, now, 5 years ago, or 10 years from now. They cannot force you to face 4-1 odds like you claim because they can only cover 1 or 2 sectors at a time on a map that has hundreds of sectors. They can still be lame and yet not like what you describe.

What ever, with your 6 months of experience you have all the answers.

Today I got to fly in both arenas, blue had a bish horde hitting knight, and the rook horde was rolling bases through bish land.... great defense there  :rolleyes: A few little dars bars were poping here and there and I chased them for an hour or two looking for fights, I show up, they disappear....mini hordes with not skill so they run when someone show up to fight  :rolleyes:

Switched to Blue, rooks down to a few bases, rooks attacking on one front, knight attaking on other. See a factory flashing, so I swing by there hvy otw to front. guy towers out as I dive in, I circle for a bit, he comes back does same thing. Continue on to front get HOed by the two guys I run into. Get into a GV and help defend a town until I get one shot killed  :rolleyes:

The GV was the only fun I had for a few hours, the rest of the time I'm avoiding hordes, looking for fights, and getting HOed on every merge when I do find some one who doesn't run, ya, there's no problem in the arenas, there are plenty of fights  :rolleyes:

Well Loki, you continue to enjoy your mediocre game experiance. I'm done here, you can call someone else names, jump up and call me a liar. Some day after you grow up a bit you might, just might get it.

Been reading some disturbing things about large groups of players called 'hordes'. It seems they are generally disliked because of the -usually- uneven numbers (attacker/defender-wise).
My question now is, if you announce your (horde) mission on 200 channel, would the horde be justified? It seems this would give the defenders a reasonable amount of time to up a horde-defence, and possibly a good fight.

Well it seems telling if a horde is coming pretty easy with all the dar bar / radar if its up....Unless noe....

Some people don't "settle" for mediocrity, they strive for it because its the best they can do.



Hey, if you  are going to converse with me, at least pay attention to what I type. I said:

It's a foreign concept for me that one would settle for mediocrity. At least as long as one has the potential to improve.

If someone is doing they best they can do, they don't have the potential to improve and thus, obviously, this means the aren't "settling" for anything.

Now see, I really don't understand this "elitist" argument.
EXACTLY[/color]
Could perhaps explain to me why you think that those of us who would much rather have a decent air-to-air engagement, the alternative being to fly around in a mindless cloud of aircraft with little hope of getting one of those aforementioned engagements, are "country clubbers?"
Jeez the way you posed the question may be your first clue (psst...he wasn't actually talking about a "real country club"....i think he used the term "country clubbers" as a polite way of not being more insulting to someone who puts value on a cartoon game as more than just fun

This has always puzzled me.  Seems more like a personal inferiority thing than a game-related argument.
Of course it would...because you see other human beings as inferior to you...in ths case because they don't share your cartoon game values...get a life dude...your own words reveal much about you



There are quite a few "skilled" players in this game who should spend as much time working on their social skills as they did on aquiring their silly game skills. THAT would be an improvement I would love to see in this game.


Quoted for truth...I am much more annoyed by pompous BBS twits and ch 200 trash talkers then I have ever  been by being ganged, ho'ed, picked or vulched.

I think my 1st sentence says the same thing as the above quote.

So we are in agreement.
