Dear HiTech - I think you should log on.
« on: November 29, 2010, 02:04:49 PM »
I've been playing here for a decade.

This is the first and only occasion where I have endured an atmosphere of genuine "hatred" for yourself and game.  It is unsettling.  I want no part of it.

Do yourself a favour - log in - go Bishop and just observe.  It's not nice.  You might want to reset the map or something because you simply need to show some sort of positive reaction.

respect and best regards.

If you are correctly judging sentiment in the arenas then people need to do something else with their time because its a game...period...end of discussion.   Hate the players, not the game.  Making a game better or improving it's infrastructure shouldn't involve hate...I sure hope you are wrong or over-reacting.

From my experience with D2 he usually gets it right and doesn't over react unless you do something to get yourself killed.

Looks like the Bish don't have to go too far to find combat.

I notice dar is down for the bish. I'd be curious to see the map with dar - my guess is there'd be ginormous dar bars over the remaining bish bases and maybe one or two planes up on the entire nit-rook front. Oh, and bunnies will be on 200 complaining that he can't find a decent fight.

Lusche, you were saying something about paranoia, I think?

And that's Hitech's problem...how?  It's human nature to take the easy way...in life and especially in a game.  HTC has created the game - it's up to the players to decide how that game is played.  If they decide to be turds and dweebs, what is HTC supposed to do about it?

IIRC, there was a mistake with uncapturable bases not being on the map.  HiTech just played a visit and returned some fields, not sure what he'll do to stop this from happening again.  The 1 flashing base between rooks and nits right now tells me this is going to be rough.  I bet we'll see a new map in about an hour and a half.

It took me awhile to see what was wrong, I was wondering why the map wasn't resetting. However, I now see that neither the Knits or Rooks have enough of each others fields to win.

Thanks for such a fast response HT.  Your very presence seemed to cool it down quickly.  I hope it stays that way.

This is a good example of why we need zone ENY, it is pretty obvious people won't police themselves.
