What is the point of saying that no dictionary includes "unfair" in the description of "War", other than to say that war by definition isn't necessarily unfair?  

I stated that I was done, the only reason I am responding is because you alleged I said something I didn't.  

Read what I wrote, but don't try and twist and slant it to say something different.  I wrote "Nothing in the definition of the word war does it state where war should be fair or unfair, so whether there are rules or not is irrelevant.".

Don't try and twist it into something I did not say.

My bad, I misread it as quoted. No need for lawyerese.

War is unfair.  I don't care what some dictionary says.  So if you're not done that's the sticking point.  Show any evidence that war would ever be fair, in any way that wouldn't put it directly opposite a game like Aces High.

The whole objective of war is to be as unfair as possible.  Anyone who leads a war otherwise is doing it wrong.

ROX......

Apparently your cranial rectal insertion syndrom doesn't allow you to understand I was merely providing a counterpoint to vWild949's position that only "the war" matters, and that fuballing/"getting kills" is a waste of time.

I've never said anything about not spending your $15 worth however you want to, doing whatever you want to. My point was don't come here and thump your chest about how you and 30 of your buddies are uber because you roll dozens of bases, and that you are the only ones who have it all figured out....

I personally think the game needs all types. I wasn't the one who threw it out there that only the "win the war / land grabbers" composed the real core of AH is "supposed" to be about...

That all being said....  Yes, you are sad and lame.  :lol


The simple fact that you have ZERO CLUE how I play this game, have never run into me IN GAME to see how I play this game made the above statement so asinine my squaddies who read your asinine comment laughed so loud in my headphones my ears hurt.

If there are those who come to the forums and roll bases and then come to the forums and gloat it's not me.  I haven't run a base take mission (due to health problems) in years.  I DO respect others right to play their $15 bucks how they choose to and that goes for every current sub paying player to play their $15 in whatever way that makes them happy. 

That sir, means you have ZERO clue.

I am not in the "v" guys squad, but I do respect their right to play their $15 bucks how they want.  I am also not in a "hoard" squad (the entire 5 of us couldn't hoard much) but I DO believe that those who DO hoard you probably do it for the added extra bonus that they can come to the forums and watch you whine about it.

I have never said the folks who take bases were superior to anyone.  You need to go back and do some extensive reading on this board for the last 2 years because you won't find it....in fact, I have been all about anyone/everyone has the right to play their $15 bucks how they darned well please.  You, on the otherhand, go from thread to thread to thread whining, crying, moaning, and belly-aching about how others play their $15 bucks ad nauseum.  Better yet, you just won a coveted spot on my ingnore list.


PS---If your going to call someone out on an issue---it just might help if next time you had a at least a minuscule clue what you were talking about.

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid,
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak.
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne,
Got to get up for the coming attack.

Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines,
Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste.
Gathering speed as we head down the runway,
Got to get airborne before it's too late.

Running, scrambling, fire,
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again.
Running, scrambling, fire, Rolling, turning, diving,
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die.
Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high!

Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers,
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away.
Roll over, spin round to come in behind them,
Move to their blindsides and firing again.

Bandits at 8 O'clock move in behind us,
Ten ME-109's out of the sun.
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them,
Heading straight for them I press down my guns.

Rolling, turning, diving,
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again.
Rolling, turning, diving, Rolling, turning, diving,
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die.
Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high!!!

LOL there ya go again with that war bit.  Folks were really dying too.  A lot more reason to avoid combat if you could and 'win' other ways.

No such complication here :)

and again. htc could do more for AH. theres a whole huge and i mean HUGE player base out there that wanna play a game to win.

Winning in this game doesn't always coincide with taking bases or resetting the map.  When you shoot down another plane, that's also "winning" and then there is the whole Charlie Sheen theory of Winning but that one is for another thread.

Quote
and the player base outnumbers those who only wanna play game to get kills.

You really couldn't be more wrong and I understand your confusion because you really just don't have a clue.

The person that wants to capture the base wants to win.  The person that wants to reset the map wants to win.  The person that wants to dogfight wants to win.  For some reason you are only equating winning with  base captures and resetting the map.  As someone that derives their fun out of fighting, believe me I play to win, just like you play to win when you try to take bases and reset the map.

Quote
thats all furballing is its players upping just to get as many kills as they can. what does that offer to thsoe who wanna play a game to win and win with teamwork.

Again, you're making the repeated mistake of only equating "winning and team work" with base captures and resetting the map.  Maybe because despite your claims in another thread about your vast dogfighting/furball experience in a jet sim against AI opponets, you really don't know what or experienced what dogfighting/furball is.  You have some silly notion that it's just a bunch of guys going at it 1v1 all in one area totally without any team work when you couldn't be even more wrong if you tried.

Once you learn what teamwork is, you'll see that it actually encompasses all forms of game play.

Vulching is cool and incredibly fun, it's the closest thing we have to tea bagging someone in game.

bmwgs and moot,

How about we just call it a war game simulation that some people play for sport?

The only thing about it I think is important enough to argue is using "war" as a crutch to justify unfair game design.

PS---If your going to call someone out on an issue---it just might help if next time you had a at least a minuscule clue what you were talking about.

OK, see, now I'm thinking this has to be a troll, because there's no way you're actually this stupid......

But.... just in case it's not a joke, I'll clear something up, and I'll do it in short sentences with small words for you, as it's obvious you have serious comprehension problems....

First, you missed the part where I wasn't talking to you in the first place concerning rolling bases and hording (neither of which I have a problem with or whine about, so you're wrong there as well, as usual). I had directed my comments to vWild949, aka fullmetalbullet, to whom the "WINNING" post was addressed - the same one you felt the need to comment on - as you're apparently following me around humping my ankle every time I comment in one of these threads. My response about "you" thumping your chest about rolling bases was a figurative "you" not you specifically, as I wasn't talking to or about you on that subject originally, I was directing those comments to the vGuys, rubberbullet specifically. You apparently don't have the intellectual or cognative ability to make that distinction, though, so shame on me for using too complex of a thought pattern in my response to you. From now on when I respond to your ankle humping I'll word my responses to you in a much simpler, easier to understand manner so as to not confuse a mouth-breather such as yourself.

Once again, since you have a problem with comprehension, I've never told anyone how they should play with their $15. To each his own, and I do respect that right to play however you see fit. The disconnect here is that you think just because everyone has the right to play however they want that everyone should be entitled to respect and admiration for playing the way they do. You carrying on about how awesome you are as a "mission planner" is an example. You think you're awesome, based on your previous comments. I think you're a toolshedder (based on your descriptions of how you play). Have I ever told you not to do what you do? No. Do I respect people who bring big groups of bombers in at stratospheric altitudes and shut down all the hangers, killing a fight (the only thing I remember actually complaining about in a thread recently with respect to hordes, vGuys, etc)? No. Do I give a rat's arse if my lack of respect for you gets your panties in a wad? HA! NO.

Reading back over my post so far, I realize I didn't stick to the short sentences and small words bit, so you may have to read it all a few times, maybe even have a friend explain it to you. My apologies, I'm not trained to work with special needs kids so sometimes I have difficulty simplifying things.


But let's recap:

Me  ----   Not talking about you in last post

You ----   Don't understand my post or what it meant

You ----   Upset because you think I'm mean

Me  ----   Done talking to you
