Squad & Country

[RufusLeaking]

Regarding the OP, splitting a squad is not cheating. 

Spying is going to happen.  Even if there were some in-game limits, griefers would work around them with Ventrillo, or whatever.  The current brief (one hour?) delay to repeated switching is just fine.

Plus it is fun to fly against squad mates once in a while.  AvA, the DA and WWI are fun places for this.

Is he one of the claim jumpers, by any chance?

Trollin, trollin, trollin...

One day when we all finally see the light and become CJ's we will all be one country and pwn bases w/o opposition, never switch sides and fly off into a rainbow draped sunset. 

Keep them doggies trollin …

Jump sides and report everything on 200, CV locs, Mission locs. Hell, i would. Why? cause i dont care and its fun to feed off the whines.
Same reason i ghost people out on Americas Army . Just to see the tears of butt hurtness. Yes hurtness is a word now.

Look up “sociopath,” aka griefer.

While I am no Freud, I am picking up an alternate lifestyle vibe.  Like the time someone wanted to get their hands on me… 

[VonMessa]

thats about the only problem I could see with it, reporting missions or cv locations etc. etc.

I'm kinda disappointed if someone my mishun ISN"T reported     

If there is no resistance, then it's only toolshedding.

[SlapShot]

like playing "I'll let you shoot down my buffs now let me shoot down yours so we both pad our fighter scores". Don't know of any rule against that, but it's cheesy and extremely unsportsmanlike.

There is no "written" rule about this particular scenario, but let HTC get wind of that situation and it's obvious that they are padding ... bad things will happen ... they most definitely frown upon this.

It is against the rules, we caught Bushlt flying nit one night and immediately sent HTC an email requesting that his account be closed, our requst was granted forth wit.

Nothing cheesy or wrong with it. 

Of course, I am here because of my squaddies.  If they are in a specific place, why the heck would I want to be anywhere else?

[Saurdaukar]

Is it cheating if a squad divides itself between more than one country in the MA? Ive noticed some squads do it all the time. Does it violate the rules, or is it just cheesy?

We do it occasionally to keep a good fight relatively even.

[Ack-Ack]

And once again, we find that some people just can't grasp the difference between "socially acceptable behavior" and "what I can get away with."   

Do you guys also stiff waiters for no good reason other than being cheap, deliberately give bad directions to strangers requesting your help

Yeah, there are times when someone asks me for directions and I'll purposely give them wrong ones.  Just yesterday, some guy asked me how to get to Venice and I gave him directions to the Watt's Towers, giving him the route that takes him through Watt's finest neighborhoods.

or refuse to give up your seat on the subway to a 90-year-old grandma with a walker?

If she really wanted the seat, she would have moved faster.  The way I see it, she didn't want the seat bad enough to get it.  Her loss, my comfort.

ack-ack

Baah we all know Bushlt can't even spell Nit.

We've done it in the name of evening out the fight many times.  Always kind of funny to start out fighting a crowd, shoot down and be shot down by the same guys, then when the balance changes go over and fly with the guys you were fighting, just to keep the good fight going.

As a number of folks have mentioned already.  sometimes it's best to bounce to another country just to find a fight.

[Skuzzy]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with squads spreading out over multiple countries.  Anyone giving them any problems with doing so are the griefers.

[TW9]

i openly give out mishuns that openly say they are for the purpose of shutting down a base inorder to get more people to help them with the "cause". At the same time this is not the reason i'd be on a different country than some squad members. If i am its most likely because we disagree on where the "fight" is or simply because we are waiting on timer to expire. we do not stick with any chest piece. Some of us may like 1 more than the other. For instance wax and i were bish for 1st 4 or so years we played so we may prefer them over the other 2 while the rest may like rook since initially aom was a rook squad. and some may prefer nits. But generally we'll be on the lower country or the one with the most action. as for banter across countries its generally less than someone maybe asking what a dar bar is to see potential of a fight. Other than that we dont actively seek mishuns or cv's or whatever as a squad. whatever i myself give out for reasons stated initially would be said on ch200. Call it cheesy if u want to but so is killing a fight for the pure purpose of forcing people to join your "war".

So because someone's idea of having fun in the game conflicts with yours so you are going to do what you can to ruin thier fun.  And that makes you different from them how?

If you cannot learn to coexist with players who like to play the "war" game, then maybe you need to move to an arena that caters to your style of play, rather than trying to force others to play like you do.

Basically, that is the problem.  Some players think thier way is the only way to play the game, and because there are high numbers in one arena, they are going to do whatever they can to insure everyone in that arena plays the way they think the game should be played.

Now, take the above sentence and read it hard.  Did I mention furballers or "war' players?  Nope, because it applies to every player who has thier own idea of how this game shoulf be played.

The correct answer is for the player to go to the arena which caters to his/her stype of play and stop trying to force others to play his/her way.

i dont think u read me right skuzzy  . The the reason they're shutting down our "fun" is because it "conflicts" with theirs. It happens a lot. People will start complaining that too many are furballing and not helping with the "war". Eventually a mission will be posted to shut down that base with no purpose of actually capturing it. Just come in fluff the hangers auger and leave or die in ack. Do not touch the town or deack base. Happened just the other day. big dar vs big dar. which is hard to find especially on these big maps. They came in shut the base down. Didnt touch anything else. Eventually the fight sputtered and everyone spread out to any of the other  150 bases.

[Skuzzy]

My answer is, if you want to furball, there are better arenas for that.  Do not expect the war gamers to play around your game.  If you only want to furball, and you only want to play in the Main Arenas, then you should be willing to accept, there is a point in time your type of game is going to be interrupted.

You, nor anyone else, has an exclusive to any arena.

Your answer is to disrupt thier game play, because they disrupted yours.  Yeah, that is going to make everyone happy.
