Furballers VS Base Takers

[CAP1]

ABout the ORIGINAL topic though...

Neither pure furballing, nor base taking, is what this game is about.
I am MUCH more of a furballer than a base taker, but I will assist in a base capture IF it provides good air to air fights. 
The base taking portion of the game is what drives the combat IMO, and the game would be lessened by the removal of it.  That said, the idea of a horde coming in with 50 guys to smash and grab a base, is incredibly boring.  What's the point?  THis tactic destroys the entire premise of a COMBAT game.  this could be accomplished as easily offline, as online.
The other tactic performed by many "base taking" squads, of dropping all teh fighter hangars int he middle of a great fight, is poor gameplay as well IMO.  Sure, it promotes taking of the base, but it is to the detriment of many who are enjoying the fight.  THere are many other bases aorund which you can go play pork n grab on.  Plus, is it not more satisfying to sneak that goon in with a battle raging overhead and snatch that base out from under the enemy's toes, than to fly a circle over the base while twiddling your toes waiting for the goont o show up?

Again, it boils down to, BOTH sides are right, in that base taking is a force which drives the combat (furball) portion of the game, and to loose either would lessen the game experience as a whole IMO.

Gentelmen,

1. At the moment this is the only forum Twitchy has to speak for himself about an issue he feels strongly about in the hopes another party might be following it. This is a Catch-22 that I respect Twitchy is caught in. All of us know historicly the AH Forum is the wrong place to air personal and squad issues. Management has been very kind to not step in yet as everyone has been warned over the years they will with prejudice. We owe it to our community and guests to get past this quickly. Right now we all are looking kind of silly on the Oprah meter.

2. There are exactly 2 people who can resolve this issue if it is ever to be resolved. This Forum is not, nor ever will be the location for that resolution. None of us in this audience are principles to the final resolution how ever it plays out. This is a personal issue between Twitchy and no one on this Forum.

3. The longer this carries on here at the AH Forum, the more people will get dragged in and peoples feelings will be hurt aside from the normal Forum bantor. It is human nature to get caught up in emotional issues while personaly identifying with aspects of the story that ring true to incidents in your own past. That is not what this game is about gentelmen...........Please let this thread go before it spirals out of control and HiTech performs an intervention.

Your piggy snout is so concentrated on the squad slop in front of you that you are failing to see that there is fresh forum food all around this thread.  It encompasses a whole host of issues that Twitchy has brought up. 

The fact that Pigs have used this forum like it's their own little pigsty over and over makes me hardly care to let this thread die just because it took a turn that makes you squeal.

[Sol75]

My last one was a 7mm! this one is 5mm...

They say once you have one, your 5 times more likely to get another one...I can't wait!

Damn man, hope I never have to experience that.  Kidney stones are plenty painful enough for me lol

Luckily, I am not making any NEW stones, only have to pass those that alrdy exist.  Mine were as a result of eating too many antacids for heartburn.  Excessive calcium.  Since I switched to Perscription acid refulx meds, I don't take rolaids any more, and am also not making any new kidney stones.
