The Bish are Awesome

[Zoney]

This is where a quick joke turns ugly, with lots of finger pointing. It starts out as a slam against the Bish for flying hordes. It is noted that they kicked The Few out (joking I'm sure since The Few rotate) then DMGod notes the Bish don't seem to like Drunken Monkeys either. Then Mr Ripley encourages people to google image Bish, Rook and Knight to see what comes up. More slams on hording then I note how DMGod and I climbed into two or three hordes in a row flying Tempests. Fun had by all. Then a gentleman from the 'v' squad references shooting down DMGod in less then flattering tones and its off, 15 more pages of insults, finger pointing, etc.

At this point there is not settling it, just a quick summary of how it turned into a bar fight. I suggest we dump this thread and move on, but by all means enjoy. From the outside I don't know that anyone comes across as either vindicated or noble. I see some sticks I respect thrashing each other with no beneficial outcome possible. 

Boo

Here Here!  Well said Boo.


I sure like playing Aces High.

Umm...you were not attacking Knits, you were attacking Bishops and talking smack to one of the Sick Puppies that shot you down.  As soon as I announced on open channel I was hunting in that area, I started to receive PMs from Black70 and a couple of other Rookies giving me  your position and each time it was the same, "he's hiding in the tower".  It was only after I left for the LW arena and better fights when I got another PM from Black70 telling me that you finally took off in B-17s. 

Hunting me...what a laugh. 

ack-ack

uh...and when was this again?  
only sick puppy i remember ever engaging in mid-war was colt. and that was one time. we had a good fight too, and i didnt "bad mouth" him. i never saw you announce over open you were "hunting". only time i remember seeing you in there was when i upped to see if you were over the base being attacked, but you landed your kills. i shot down a p51B&spit over the base, but was killed by a HO'ing 190. i upped 2 more times to that base, a p38 did show up, but it wasent yours. and no, i wasent "attacking" knits. i was helping to defend our base which was being attacked by knits.
and you actually believe black70?   that man has been sore at me ever since the 5 times i shot him down over the summer.

and what tour did this all supposidly happen? because i dont remember upping 17's in mid war.

Ya know I won't mind the horde so much if someone could come up with a way to fight one. And no, doing a 2 hour pork run, or getting my own horde together are not viable answers. I log on for an hour or two of FUN. 2 hours of porking is NOT fun, and contributing to a horde is NOT fun. I don't see how "most" in a horde can consider it fun. OK I can see the "sense of accomplishment" in the groups as fun. They might as well just hand out Nukes and people can take turns dropping them and capturing bases and then patting each other on the back.

WooHOO !!! The Bish are Awesome !! They can horde better than anyone ! That is certainly something to be proud of!

Del, Its very noble of you to offer but I've tried taking a couple of these "airquake" guys and show them a few things or two that I learned so they can appreciate other aspects of the game.

Like what, how to fly incompetently and die quickly? Most of our squad members are only too happy to learn from people who actually know more and have something worth teaching. You've got nothing to teach anyone and nothing to offer but ego unbacked by any skill.

Until they get over the deepseeded paranoia that you are trying to make them "play your game".

It isn't paranoia when you really are trying to do just that. Every single post you make on this forum is about how we suck and how we ruin the game for you because we don't play the way you think we ought to. Every post. Then you huff and puff about how you're above "hating,", except you can't control yourself enough to refrain from spewing more hate in the same post. All you EVER do is whine about us.

There's nothing anyone needs to know about you or hear from you except that for whatever petty personal reason you hate your former squad and will take any opportunity to spew more venom on that account. You're all mouth and nothing to back it. And you can blather away all you want but we'll still play the game the way WE enjoy, have more fun doing it than you'll ever have whining about it, and kick your no-skill butt whenever you try to do anything about it in the arena.

[oTRALFZo]

Blah, blah

Seriously?
Do you even know that I wasnt talking about you guys when I referenced the "airquake" guys?. But thanks for jumping the gun here by admitting that its the style of game you guys play.

Most of the guys that have been here years have been here and done that. Allthough Im still considered a noob being that some of these guys are older than dirt in this game, Ive always taken what they said objectivly only to see that they were right all along.

I could care less about how you guys play. History shows that every few months, some armpit general decides to gather 50 noobs to form some 10 winged mega squad, run mayhem on the map and piss off the players on the recieving end. Given tme, their roster shrinks to virtually nothing because either guys got bored with the same ol, same ol and moved on to other things or that 2 weeker that used to run goons for you just never showed up to actually subscribe.

Please dont be so arrogant to think that I actually care about you or that pixelated base you guys had fun taking last night. Plenty of room and choices that I can find my own fun anytime I log in. You are too ignorant to even tell the difference between a complaint or an oppinion someone has when posting in a forum that is is there to debate and well...get your oppinion on a subject. Here on the BBS and in game, you dont bother me and never will bother me. Its much funnier than anything. You pay your 15$ to play your game, be it "HOO-AH..Were TEH BEST", Ill pay mine to laugh

I hate to break it to you man, but the nits and rooks were hording bases in LWB sunday night.  They both used massive number of bomber formations to flatten fields and of course, quite a few ack killers/vulchers too.  The only difference was that at least the rooks came in at alt with a dar bar warning.  I have a film of the sortie that made me log (yeah, horde got another one to log off!).  A NIT noe with at least 12 sets of Lancs and B-24s as well as a bunch of fighters - all going straight to smash the field.  I'm sure there were more coming, but the film viewer only records out to 11k.

Silly little Caldera, you are sadly mistaken. Nits and Rooks don't "horde" no no no... They only attack heavly defended Bish bases, and after a gallant sustained battle against superior numbers of defenders, triumph through shear skill and daring.

meh. He's talking about LWB.... nothing that happens in there matters, no one plays there. LWB knits are the "other" knits. 

[The Fugitive]

I agree, ALL SIDES HORDE. Bish just are more well known for it, and this IS their "pat ourselves on the back" thread.

[Rob52240]

Isn't the whole idea of this game to play along with others?

[BowHTR]

it'd be nice if either:
a) this thread gets locked
b) people quit whining about how others play

or come to think about it, both would be nice.

[grizz441]

sure, killing other players is fun. but i'd rather have someone whos more of a team player, who brings troops, helps deack, helps attack cvs, resupplies bases, and cordinates missions. instead of someone who does nothing but create furballs over bases in his p38.
just my $0.02

You'd rather have someone who chooses to help do things he doesn't particularly enjoy in lieu of something he really does enjoy in a cartoon video game?  Wow, the day I am playing the game or any reason other than for fun is the day I quit.  If you enjoy doing that stuff, more power to you, but you'd have to be quite a tool to play a $15/mo game to please others and not have any fun for yourself.

  This game is much more fun with a Wing-man. Chewie just has 50 at a time in case one gets shot down he wont have to fly alone and get jumped.

  When the CJs switched to Rook we were doing lots of land grabbing IE, noe Lanc runs with 10 -30 people following.
We had a blast and everyone else didn't.

  I say have fun you Bish while it last and enjoy.
 
  Your reign of terror will end soon! We are getting the UN involved its no fly zone over Rook land for you.
