I've been reading all these threads about the new radar settings.  Before I begin I played Friday night and most of the day yesterday and they made no difference to me although for the record I think 65' is too low.

What I don't get is all the people jumping for joy over these settings because they will limit the NOE crowd.  For the most part, these same people are those who always say they don't care about winning the war and, if you are to believe them, are ACM masters who could single handedly take down an entire hoard of "skilless dweebs".  If you don't care about winning the war then why care about the NOE base takers?  I don't and haven't cared about either one.  I just want to kill people and blow suff up.

Frankly, when the NOE guys take a single base deep in the enemy backfield it just creates more fights on that part of the map.  I always thought that was a good thing.  Evidently I was mistaken.


Bahahahah, nice Mr Eagle sir.  :aok

They will burn you, but nice to see others can see how most people are full of it lol

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I don't think Staff of any kind should be given additional respect unless it is during an event or in their respective arenas online. For example, you cannot ignore a Trainer's instructions in the TA, or a CM during a scenario event for example.

I want Falconwing (delusional or not) to be able to speak his mind towards me like he would any other player.

Lute,

I won't lower myself and my actions in the past to defend what I have done to better the community.  What I do, I do and I don't need a name tag to feel satisfaction for it and I have no need or want for additional respect just because I'm a nice guy.

What I HAVE more recently tried to do is not namecall or make others feel low on the bbs simply because i disagree with them or their style...that is the biggest change I have tried to effect over the last year.  This poster has so far managed to call me delusional, paranoid etc  i was more likely to take that tact in the past and I didn't feel good about it...so i have stopped responding in like manner.

when dale says nothing affected his decision then I must take his word for it...and I do gladly.

Either way it is his game and as long as I want to play it...I will be respectful and thankful to him

There is a reason why Altruism is a core aspect of most major religions.  If you choose to argue against the teachings of people like Jesus or Buddha then we are so far apart in our views that I doubt we will ever find common ground.
(you are probably against giving respect to the elderly or vets as well I will assume?)

Nobody becomes a CM, Trainer, or AvA staff because they expect thank yous or recognition for doing so.

They do it to give back and contribute.

What have you done for the betterment of the community?





Lute,

I think the main question is WHEN was a trainer disrespected in a manner that deserved a retort such as Ghosth's?

You are working off the premise that an insult actually occurred?  I can't find it...

To abuse or take advantage of that position is wrong, and to expect anything or anyone to recognize that position as a vet or as an HT staff member, or to imply you are deserving of any more or less respect than anyone else because of that position is foolish, arrogant, ignorant.

All very true, and I agree.  Yet some of you are holding a Trainer to a different standard when he says something you find offensive.  "Hey, you're a trainer, you shouldn't be saying things like that!"

If everyone is given the same respect, everyone should be given the same leeway.  You guys are trying to enforce a double standard on Ghosth.  I'm kind of surprised by that.

the stupid US Gov. policy has caused me to return for awhile, no I am not a convict! US policy killed off my and everyone else's business that depends on trade. When I am in San Carlos I do not play AH. To many fun things to do that are legal, unlike in the US. Yes having fun is not a punishable offense!
