Why not? It pissed me off, seeing twelve useless friendly CV's stowed away in the far corner of the map with some dickbag keeping a constant watch for anybody trying to change their course. I'd switch sides just to fluffluff'n piss them off too!

three words.

it's a game.

Where is the Honour that is supposed to be here.

You seem to have trouble distinguishing "honour" and "stupidity".

Do you also refrain from shooting anyone down unless they plainly know you're on their six and are maneuvering to avoid you?

It's a game. Strategy is part of the game. Sneakiness, concealment, deceiving the enemy as to your intent, and using assets strategically (which means not using them all if the risk is greater than the reward) are all part of the game.

Ratting out your teammates, even if they don't play the way you think they ought to play, is NOT part of the game. It is dirty, low, dishonest, unsportsmanlike, no-class behavior.

How about the "honour" of playing 100% for the team you're on at any given time? What happened to that "honour"?

Of course, you're free to take control of the task group and send it wherever you like. And they're free to send it back. That's part of the game too. You're also free to argue about it on country as long as you refrain from abusive language.

Btw, in case you hadn't noticed, you can still up any cartoon plane you like and go hunt the enemy anywhere you like even if your side has NO CVs in play. That's doubly true if your side has plenty of other CVs to use to attack enemy bases. You can even fly CV planes from land bases. Your game play is not diminished in the slightest.There's no less furballing, the other team isn't going anywhere and neither is yours.

The only problem here is one we see all the time, some players having their day ruined because everyone else isn't doing what they think they ought to be doing, and taking it on themselves to retaliate by ruining their day in return. Grow the "heck" up. You aren't the Grand Admiral of the Ocean Sea, everyone else isn't required to play like you say they should, and when you take it on yourself to try to spoil their game in retaliation for their refusal to obey your orders you're acting like a spoiled 5-year-old.    :cry

I don't see this as an in.  I agree in principle, he is just willing to take it a step further than me.  It is an annoying problem. :aok

so wait??

someone actually CALLED them down at the office, because someone stole a CARTOON cv group, and complained??????

More than a few called, actually.  As well as over 30 minutes of wailing on country channel from most on country prior to the calls going in.

HOLY FRACK!!!!!! no wonder they sometimes seem "less than friendly!!!!!!!

No shortage of whines on 200, these forums, and yes ... via phone.  This is surprising because ... ???  The one occasion I've had to call about my account they were very friendly towards me.  Perhaps, it's just you.  :D

My hat is off the the ones on the other end wading through the no shortage of whinies, though.

And none of this changes the end result.  ;)

Jeez, guys!  Lighten up!  In all the iterations of these online games, the Main Arena has always been a free-for-all, and until the basic structure changes, it always will be.

i have only had need to call on the phone a few times, and their people on the phone have never been anything but spectacular towards me. i've emailed em once or twice, with the same results.
 never about a problem in the game...always about account related things...in one instance helping another member keep his membership current.

 my "less than friendly" reference is due to the fact i thoughti had remembered people complaining about some of them....and everyone seems to think skuzzy has no sense of humor. 
 if someone is actually going to call them on the phone to complain about anothers gameplay........i can honestly see that pissing them off.

 i can fully understand whines here, and ingame(although they annoy me somewhat), but to bother them in the office.......i would be insulting children if i were to call that childish.

Technically, that's four, considering 'it's' is a contraction for 'it' and 'is'...

Just sayin'.

Where is the Honour that is supposed to be here.

Does <S> mean Nothing? That is a measure of Honour. If you <S> everyone and then
stoop to low tactics then it means NOTHING.

Honour....Respect the Word and the Intent and Meaning.

Sorry, I usually reserve the word "Honor" for subjects more important than a cartoon  war simulation game...
