Instead of ENY...

[Dragon Tamer]

I don't understand the chesspiece loyalty

It's called patriotism, and every person on the planet is guilty of it in some way shape or form.  In this case, the players have become patriotic to the country they started out in and are horrified of the though of flying for another country.

Example: Let me ask you, is your home country one of, if not the best country to live in?  If you answered yes there you go, if you answered no then your lying.

Now someone please clarify this for me: if I fly for my country and we take a few bases but I need to go do other things and my country wins while I'm gone, do I still get the perk points that would be awarded?

Yes. As long as you meet the time requirements you don't need to be online to recieve the perks.

wouldn't want to put money on that would you? no such thing as patriotism in toonville.

it just so happens that there are some squads that switch factions every tour...some individual players do that too...and they stick with it the entire tour. others just don't like some or all of the players who fly mainly on a specific faction due to their behavior or what have you...and therefore prefer not to associate by any means. and yet there are others who switch when the numbers get so lopsided eny is affecting their ability to fly their favorite uber plane. a few just hang with a specific faction because of the people they normally find in that faction and don't care what happens.

the rest have fooled themselves into thinking country loyalty is kewl and it makes them better than they are...the patriots.

Same old crap responses from the usual suspects.  Everyone is a whiner who wants to explore changing things.  Glad jarhead and imadope have some way of flexing their muscles.  if only Mommy had given them more attention.

HT pretty much covered this, but I just want to add this:

The title of the thread and some of the substance of the post makes it sound like you wanted to do away with ENY; thus allowing you to fly all the hotrod planes anytime you want.  The fact that you responded as quoted above tells me that, if not in reality (which may be true in either case), you are an immature child and deserve little or no consideration of your ideas or posts.

I actually think eny should be gotten rid of, fly anything you like just use the perk structure to manage it. So if the population gets too offset, the "horde" could still fly whatever but at a certain point low eny planes would begin to cost perks, this curve would continue with further population offsets even to include charging perks for 20 eny rides if needed etc!

Pure projection on your part Ima.
You read much more into a simple post than was warranted.  You ascribed motivations to me without basis instead of addressing the point.  You started it with your inappropriate remark.
Basically you are a schmuck.
I'm sure your dog loves you though.
Well, maybe not so sure.

oh no you don't...i know what you're getting at...slick old devil you.    that would not solve the root issue...and would not equalize the field in any way since some, like yourself would have enough perks to not be bothered by any costs and anyone who has been around long enough to see it knows what would happen. the eny system works...it's just not "convenient" for those who get caught by it.

i dont think JUG would bothered by ENY constraints no matter how it was set up.  he has so many perks because he flys P47's (usually the earlier models) and a 110c.  well, he tries anyhow

I'll give you most of that.

 You started it with your inappropriate remark.

I posted no inappropriate remark; you read much more into that simple post than was warranted.  Your reply which included a derogatory slur of my gameID however, was inappropriate.  And you followed it up with:

Basically you are a schmuck.
I'm sure your dog loves you though.
Well, maybe not so sure.

Which again speaks of your character and maturity level.

I'm done with this thread.

That went better than expected

That went better than expected

maybe with dot...but i'm an old school jarhead and i have yet begun to dissect your weak attempts to belittle me.

had you completed your initial post with the information you posted in subsequent responses, most especially those after hitech dressed you down worse than anyone else, the initial replies you received would have been a bit different. regardless of how you took it, a good number of people on these boards, myself included who see eny whine posts appear nearly as often as "get rid of the caps" posts often mistake honest attempts for thinly veiled whines. it happens, we're human. however, i stand by my initial response because it is true. by far and large the toon aces around here would rather whine about something and demand a resolution to their liking, than attempt to understand the reasoning behind it and then make an intelligent attempt to discuss an alternative.

now, in your view i may be a schmuck, but i'm an intelligent adult schmuck and, just judging by what you have posted in this discussion that you started it is fairly obvious you do not fully understand the idea of eny or how it's computed, nor have you read any of the game faq or how perk points are computed.

i'm not going to do the search for the discussion on how eny works, i'll let you do that. it's fairly simple once you see it explained. personally, i don't care about eny. it can be inconvenient at times but just like everything else, the company has choices in place that can be used, good, bad or indifferent, they exist and it's up to the individual player to make the decision...crying like a child and demanding the company gets rid of it is not one of the choices. and to be clear i am not insinuating that you did such, i'm just stating a fact.

Sounds like a good idea, but in theory, if things get bad enough, those who have hardly any perks, could effectively be grounded from using any "fighter" plane. I don't think that HT would ever want to implement something that could/would totally ground anybody.

Example: Let me ask you, is your home country one of, if not the best country to live in?  If you answered yes there you go, if you answered no then your lying.

Actually, this is something I get into with people now and again.  The idea of 'rooting for the home team' or rabid patriotism is quite foreign to me.

Sure, the country I live in is swell.  Does that have anything to do with me?  Not particularly.  Unless you happen to be in a position to significantly alter your country's policies from within the government, you're effectively along for the ride, just like everyone else.

It's a random chance you were born where you are.  If one of your ancestors a couple thousand years ago had turned right instead of left when he stepped out of his house one morning, you could just as easily be sitting in a small house thinking about how swell it is living in rural Uzbekistan as living where you are and thinking how swell it is to live there.  If you happen to live in a small house in rural Uzbekistan, then change it to a city in Texas.

It makes about as much sense as deriving pride from the fact that your hair color is the same as someone who has done something great.

In any case, this is a game.  There is no filtering process to put only like-minded people in any of the chesspieces, and bad gameplay exists on all sides just as much as good gameplay exists on all sides.

Wiley.
