How about a short title and substance in the body of the post...

But to address your wish -- until people act like grown-ups, it will never happen.  I personally switch sides to find fights and/or balance the numbers (what little balancing my 1 player can achieve).  But there are too many turds who would switch to find and bomb CV's, grief certain players, or otherwise act like turds.

Switching countries will only get you away from the WirbelGawd 1/3 of the time... ;)

PS-I favor this, but only late at night(AM hours).

Too many llamas abuse this. There is a REASON they introduced the delay. Griefers exist. It's a fact.

I like this talk of turds.

I know one way to deal with turds. Make the MAs every man for himself. Forget about coordinated this and squad that. Save it for scenario play. The arenas would just be, "ever who you can see is emmaknee". The CV? It's emmaknee. You don't switch sides, you ARE a side.

Then, secretly, real turds collude to gang you. They then take turns vulching you so that you can never up.

We'll call that arena, "AH Hell" or, "AH Juggalo". To it will be banished all turds.

Some say revenge is a dish best served cold. I say it's usually best served hot, chunky, and foaming. Eventually, you will all die in my vengeance vomit firestorm.

You're a good bunny bro, but this is the dumbest idea ever thrown down on the boards............. :salute

Even at late night/early morning hours when a greifer == someone to fight?

No, I can 100% appreciate the reasoning, but what would wind up happening is one squad, using Vent or TS, will wind up finding the "deadzones" and start rolling bases even more than they already do now.  Or even.... heaven forbid, they will stay in a tower somewhere and call out the bandits upping out of the VH.

I'd find it to probably cause more trouble than it's worth. 

:cry :cry

And I retracted the "dumbest" part............  In a brief search I found 146 really stupid ideas.  At least yours comes from good reasoning and gameplay.   :cheers:

yeah, figures... someone abusing the 'system' to game the game so we all have to take a hit because of them. Smaller maps then? or two country maps instead of 3?
When there is only one dar bar, one country gets left out.

I guess I could have asked for a 'nook!' and the title #1 spot! lol

sorry bunnies but you gotta plan your country switching routine  :D.  as it is too many guys switch to bishops so they can horde with the vtards.

I logged into EW last night.  There were 5 Rook on (you were one of them, prolly afk...) attacking a Bish island airbase from a carrier with no Bish on.  I went Bish and upped to defend.  Killed some planes and LVT's, died a lot but was having fun.  Then there was 6 Rook and me...that's 6:1 against in the arena and some doofus was trying to act all tough-boi running with the horde, and I start getting called names for upping a Hurri2c to try to defend against 4:1 odds.  I usually don't fly the 2c because all those cannons cheapen any victories (dang thing should be perked in EW), but against those odds I'll up anything that will kill fast.  I found it funny the he got so worked up over actually having someone up to defend - I guess he's a toolshedder that can only have fun attacking undefended bases.  Another Bish logged in, helped defend, stayed for a little while, then left.

It was not smitty - he's a cool guy.  I won't name names, as it is of no relevance.
