LOL so does Agent

Let me clarify:

Shuffler picks 1v1s and then bleeds his heart against it here.

He sure got to you didn't he.  Kinda surprised you take it so hard considering your view on the game.  Good thing we've got you around to be Shuff's conscience.  You don't like preaching but like to preach?

Come on Grizz you are contradicting yourself by ankle humping Shuff.  Since when did what Shuff say make so much difference to you?   Having flown with him for a while now, I've got a good idea about his approach to the game.  Your recent comment refers to last night when there were no 1 v 1s despite folks trying to.  I called in on Juggler and his D25 and we were away from the main furball.  Juggler was disgusted by Agent coming into our fight.  Agent knows better.  If he was after Shuff, he knew Shuff was in a 38J not a G.  Juggler and I had been knife fighting for a bit and Juggler had me stalled out and was ruddering down to nail me.  Agent knew it and shot anyway.

Let's clarify.  Of all the guys I enjoy fighting Agent is near the very top as he normally fights the same way I do.  So it was a surprise that he would do that.

Since Shuff and I were flying in the same area last night, I'm not sure which 1 v 1 he would have picked as there were none that didn't involve other folks.  Keep in mind I was flying higher then Shuff and I got as high as 4K so I'm not sure how he picked anyone/  Some of us on 200 were trying to make it work but it didn't on either side.  I know I apologized to Agent on one occasion where we were knife fighting and some guy came through and picked him.  I tried to call the guy off but he wouldn't listen.  This happened on a number of occasions on both sides of that fight.  Juggler and I were in the same situation and a guy blew in and picked Juggler.  Both he and I did our best to explain to the guy what was happening and that we'd called out the fight was in on 200.  Nothing doing of course.

Sunbat was trying to set up fights from a CV to the field we were upping.  He got grief from his own side for it.  One of the vTards then promptly sank the carrier.  When asked why he ruined the only good fight we had going his comment was 'that's what I do'.  No one else wanted it but that 'play the way I want to' mentality came in and ruined the good fight.

My suggestion to ya Grizz, instead of worrying so much about the 80th guys, you just continue to go about your business of playing it the way you want to play.  Trust me, no one is listening to the 80th guys anyway.  They're too busy listening to you

I am still of the opinion that one way to improve the "social" aspect of the game (hordes) would be to do intentionally. What happpened in Airwarrior as a matter of technological restrictions of the time. Limit the amount of planes that can be up from any one base at any given time.

We all know the Horde Warrior tactics of attacking little defended bases (regardless of chess pieces) is one of the biggest problems in the game right now.
By limiting the amount of planes that can up from bases at any given time it would make that hording more difficult by spreading out over a wider front the bases a horde can take off from.
Hording would still be able to be done but would actually require a bit more planning and coordination to get everyone on target at or near the same time. It would require some semblence of of a country behaving as a team rather then the current mob mentality which really all the current horde is. Something Im not quite sure the large numbers that play are capable of all at once.
 This would give any defending country time to respond accordingly which would lead to a larger fight over a larger front. Because when you up from an airfeild. Where folks looking to fight usually head is to where they see the red dots

Im not in favor of arena caps. Never have been. As I had originally thought. It just seems to tick people off more then anything else.
People want to fly with the people they want to fly with. And you just arent going to get many individuals to ask entire groups of people to move to a different arena because that individual cant get into the one their friends are in. I know speaking for myself. I wouldnt even consider saying. "Hey I cant get in. can all of you give up what your doing there to come to this arena so we can all fly together?" I dunno. just seems kinda selfish to me. I just wouldnt feel comfortable doing that. And I think alot of other people probably feel the same way

I however have no problem with split arenas if done sensibly.(for lack of a better term) As it could give people more of a choice as to what kind of environment they want to fight in.
Perhaps a better solution would be to have one arena with only large maps. And the other with only the small ones since there seems to be a significant amount of people with either preference to make it work.

I'd also like to see a return of the old strat target system and zone bases with their new layouts. Everytime I show someone the game that hasnt seen it before and tryt o explain whats going on and what you can do. They invariably ask what happens when you bomb the Ammo factory, or fuel refineries (for example) To which I can only tell them. Well not much of anything. The very next question they ask almost without exception is "Then whats the point?"
And there in lies the problem with the strat targets. They're uninteresting And the only reason to hit them over hitting a base is if your not doing anythng better (bored) or to get people to try to chase you. which you can just as easily get by bombing a base..in half the time! I mean really. Why fly for an hour to hit something that doesnt do anything but go boom when you do hit it?

I think part of the problem is that while the bases and targets are becomming more complex. The game itself is getting so dumbed down its just becomming uninteresting

Just my observations. You are all free to have your own

He sure got to you didn't he.  Kinda surprised you take it so hard considering your view on the game. 

What can I say, I'm a sucker for hypocrisy.

Shuffler goes out of his way to pick isolated 1v1s. 

You want to see? (Trust me you don't)

And you care again why?  Maybe he's just trying to tick you off?  His version of trolling.  Look how he gets you to jump.

And as far as it goes, post away.  I don't care at this point.  As you continue to say, and I've come to accept.  People play the way they want to play.  I can only control me.  You trying to change Shuff is as dumb as me trying to convince you to change.  Aint gonna happen.

Again, you don't like being preached at, yet you continue to preach.  Seems a bit hypocritical too wouldn't you say?

I don't recall Shuff posting anything recently since your last ankle humping session.  You clearly convinced him your way is right and he's doing whatever he wants cause it's his fun.

Ohhh comon now.  That is how he flies.  Except of when he is picking slows off of the runway.  Why do you care so match about what Grizz is saying?    its his 15$ but preaching against it 

[grizz441]

He didn't know who it was.  It's incredible what you see in shades.  
You should try it sometime, see how they fly when you aren't around.

Again, you don't like being preached at, yet you continue to preach.  Seems a bit hypocritical too wouldn't you say?

I don't mind preaching, just as long as the one doing the preaching lives up to it.  You are the prime example of someone who practices what he preaches and I respect you for that.  Shuffler has been targeted because of the glaring hypocrisy he brings to discussion time and time again.

Nice little one minute film of shuffler diving directly down into an isolated 1v1 rolling scissor to pick a player.  Well, I don't want to spoil the ending, you be the judge.  

Discuss please.    

[Guppy35]

But Grizz, you don't get it.  You win.  You've been right all along.  Anything goes.  No expectations of other players.  Do what you want to do.  What else do you want me to say?

I've agreed with you now in many different threads.  It's silly to have any sort of expectation of other players.  Again, since your diatribe against Shuff in that other thread,  we've quit talking about it.  I told you.  You are right.  I was wrong. 

You've got all the proof you need.  Shuff is evil. Behind that aw shucks Texas act of his, he's clearly a flying contradiction.  I'm glad you went so far as to fly around in Shades just to prove your point.  He's been flying like you all along.

As I said.  You win.  I apologize for the 80th and the guys in the squad. It's all been an act and we've been found out.  I'll probably have to start kicking guys out.  Enough of em have been Muppets, maybe you can take them back since they're not up to my standards apparently.

I'm glad we've got you around to police us.

[grizz441]

He's been flying like you all along.

Actually even I would have passed that one up.  Diving 4k racing a fellow cawing seagull for a pick on an isolated 1v1 is not something I try to make a habit of doing.  I understand why a less skilled or frustrated player would do such a thing though.

Corky, I luv you and the 80th.  Do not misconstrue the pwnts that have been made here.

What was this thread about again?

[SunBat]

- 50 cents for a ice cold Coca-Cola to enjoy in the cartoon universe.
 
- 15 bucks a month extra for a shade

- $1000 for a computer, controllers and Internet access

- Inadvertently catching someone in the act of doing what he looks down his nose at others for doing. 

Priceless.

P.S.

I'll come visit u in prison Shuffler.
