CLAIM JUMPERS RECRUITING

[RufusLeaking]

I have no clue how people like you remember to breathe.

I have no clue how you find the time to post between shaving gerbils and finding the perfect scented candles.

So much for the high road ...

[ink]

There has got to be a line about swinging, but I need to control my impulse to insult…

Seriously, I am all for a good natured exchange of opinions.

  Corkyjr for not joining me on the low road.  I hope your squadmates do not think less of you for it.

I respect Ink’s in game skill.  However, I do not see the point of coming into the Squadron Forum and posting about a squad in the third person on a thread of which the topic is that squad.  It is classless and unnecessary.  Are his expectations that we will all see the error of our ways and aspire to be like him?

Anyway, the issue of squad size has recently been discussed on the Wish List forum:

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,283228.0.html

there comes a point that your hordling fun is detrimental to game play, and at the cost of others fun,  it does get old having so many cons on ya at once, i mean seriously even the "best" is gonna be hard pressed to kill 5 cons on him. why would you attack a single con with 10 or more guys??????????    it is absurd the way you guys and other huge squads fly in your numbers and think it's cool
 its lame, sorry if you don't like my opinion but I call it the way I see it, really don't care who I offend.

I guess you're just a victim. I mean you were after all attacked first by me right?

[jimson]

Get all assed up about it if you like, but it does not make any sense to most. I just thought I'd ask and see if I could get an answer other than " because we can".

Whatever, carry on.

Well, I didn't mean to get asssed up about it. It's just that everytime anyone in the squad posts anything people invade the thread and start flaming.

Probably the reason there are so many wings/squads is that as some get full, others are started and then some leave and the wing/squad dwindles to a few  and we haven't gotten around to consolidating them.

[Shifty]

I'm not a fan of the multi winged squad. Even though I agree with the opinions expressed by some of you. I have to say this is the wrong forum for the conversation.
Every squad's recruitment thread no matter how large or small of a squad they happen to be should be a no fire zone for negative comments. This debate can easily be moved to another forum allowing the Claim Jumpers a clean recruiting thread. No matter how much I respect some of you guys this just isn't the place for this debate.

<S>

sorry if you don't like my opinion but I call it the way I see it, really don't care who I offend.

Fine, you are entitled to your opinion, but was your opinion solicited by the person who started this thread, or did you just take it upon yourself to butt in here as so many always do?

Try to get the rules changed, start your own complaint thread, do whatever.

Just don't expect a warm welcome when you invade someone else's thread for flaming purposes.

And if I fly into the midst of ten enemy cons, I expect to be attacked by ten enemy cons, that happens all the time, whether they are all from the same squad or not.

I have no issue at all with you Jimson and I was honestly was only curious. I had no intention of flaming, but if I had any idea that rufus person would react like that I would have just PM'd you.

truly did not intend it as "flaming" just speaking my mind, and I feel this is the perfect thread to speak up, for this is where you are trying to pick up more guys to ruin game play, you think it's "fun" I think it is lame and ruins game play, so why not speak up here ? let some of these guys that might not understand what they are doing, hear from others on "your" way of flying and how it might not be as cool as y'all are saying it is
  
whatever I am done, I spoke my mind, now its time to go kill lemmings in there horde.

That's cool Slash, my uglier posts weren't directed toward you personally.

I'm not often on in prime time so I see a different side of my squad then others apparently do.

Rufs a good guy but I guess we can get a little thin skinned when we cant post anything without it becoming a "flamefest".

[jimson]

I think it is lame and ruins game play

Well, that's kind of subjective, there are a lot of things I think ruin my game play.  such as better pilots than me (most) LOL, like BnZ Tempests and ponies when I'm looking for a turn fight, but I guess we all have a choice as to a different area of the map don't we?

I’ve never encountered you by yourself.  And, I’ve never called you “the best.”  You really need get over yourself.

It is also obvious that you are offensive and uncaring. 

You opinion regarding what is detrimental to game play is just that – your opinion.  Your life partner probably shares this opinion.  You can discus it with him while you go antiquing this weekend.

I guess you're just a victim. I mean you were after all attacked first by me right?

You guess wrong.  Though it was GhostCDB that set me off.  I was on the wagon with regards to arguing with idiots like you for a few months...

I have no issue at all with you Jimson and I was honestly was only curious. I had no intention of flaming, but if I had any idea that rufus person would react like that I would have just PM'd you.

This rufus person would have squelched you if there was a forum equivalent.  You were not curious until after my reaction to GhostCDB. 

Who’s playing the victim?

This is going to take a while, but I’ll use small words and short sentences.

No one questions that you’re “the best" at picking up guys.

We are not trying to steal any of your guys.

No one here is trying to ruin your fun.

Lemmings are not the new shaved gerbil.

[Delirium]

I have an opinion, but I won't put it in the squad recruiting forum.

If you want to continue the discussion in the Gen Discussion, I'm there. Then again, that discussion has become a dead horse anyway.

[jimson]

I only have one other point, and that is the max for a single squad is what 32 players?

Really, how many times do we actually have more than that on at the same time?

So having multiple squads/wings is sort of irrelevant, as anyone with a full single squad could put as many numbers in the air as we do most of the time.

[Bear76]

You didn’t get the answer, “because we can,” SFB.  You were asked, “why not?”

I realize I am feeding a troll here, but I get incensed when someone covers their lack of a point with an attempt at condescension.  You do this because you can?

Are all 8600 of your posts also completely devoid of content?
Ummm.  A useless post to remind a Brokeback buddy not to make useless posts.

I am at a loss for how to respond the wrong headedness of you two.   Perhaps I should be grateful that you "let us all fly together."

I guess I shouldn’t bother responding to you flamers.
And wings are composed of squads.  Yeah, I know. But sometimes it is easier just to go with the flow.

Wow, you have some issues. It was a simple question that you blew out of porportion.
