Dads.... the entire point of the thread is that MY side IS (or was at that time) the low numbers (accounting for the fact that A and B are fighting as 1 against C). Switching sides simply adds me to the A or B which are already gang hording C. How does that help?
The issue is NOT that ENY is preventing me from getting an uber plane to attack and vulch. It is that the ENY was blocking the defensive side (lower number side) from actually being able to defend.
respectfully,
Sorry for the length but I will try to explain.
First I Completely understand you.
Its actually quite the opposite.
What you must get past is your side being outnumbered when your side has the ENY, let me explain.
By switching sides and taking your squad mates, friends etc. etc. to the lowest numbers side (since your current side has eny there must be a lower side and will benefit you, the game, take away ENY for your side) So if your on Side A: B and C is attacking A. C has the lowest numbers side so join them and attack side B.
This will do several things:
1. Lower ENY for Side A.
2. Start a fight between side B and C.
3. Start a fight or Land grab either B and C for what they wont defend, you are sure to get their attention.
4. most of all you will see exactly what I have described.
You must ask yourself why does it happen?
When a side has the numbers it will naturally grab the attention of the other two sides because of what the tendency of how players are using those numbers as an advantage and how it can be so overwhelming (noe/ hording,combination of the two).
All three sides, some more than others, some less than others, overwhelmingly do not enjoy seeing a base stolen without a fight, period.
When one is taken with little or no effort either it be by superior numbers or lack of defense in time, it invokes real life emotion when this happens of anger and aggression, basically pisses people off, (just a part of the game), but when its done as the only means of attack and over and over again
it really pisses people off and will draw much more attention from those that want to defend against it and consider it a challenge to beat them back, every one of us has that instinct in us if you want admit it or not.
Good example is Side A has 80 players B and C have 50 each. Side B will at some point realize that side A is noe'ing base after base or attacking a base for capture. Side B will start to defend against the attack and will discourage side A for the moment.
Side A will move to Side C to suprise noe them for a take and they too will realize at some point that stealing base after base has gotten their attention. Side A gets discouraged and shifts to side B again for another take, and the cycle begins back and forth between B and C.
At some point or moment both sides will be focused completely on the W A M part of the game trying to defend against what soon becomes ALL or None of a side, you will begin to see side A use nearly all of its resources to noe a base which now has completely captured the attention of both sides to fight off this now super horde. Hence you get both sides attacking the 1.
There are more dynamics involved here and are not all inclusive and I chose not to disclose the remainder of them, but this is what exactly happens from my observations.
I used to be in your shoes where I only saw it from 1/3 rd of the view point and was probably one of the biggest advocates for your argument at the time, now that I have seen it from all three sides I no longer hold that position
I have always been an advocate of getting the facts on your own and not what someone else tells you are the facts or at the least form an opinion with as much information as you can gather.
Many players in this post and several others really dont hold any truth to many of their arguments or observations since they only have 1/3 of the picture, your not going to get the whole story by reading just the cover.
If your in a squad that has pledged allegiance to a side, you will have to come to a point and decide what is important to you, your loyalty to a side that will limit you and the game on many aspects, or move on and grow.
There is just so much to this game and what it offers that many are blind to it.
This is my opinion and was formed from my experience, I have no fancy charts or graphs. Sorry. My use of the word You, it implies you in general as the reader.
