:lol the clear message within is that you will continue to throw your toys out of the pram (by announcing missions or CVs) until you get your way

I don't think anyone would have trouble deciphering that...taking such a childish attitude seriously is a lot harder

Umm... yeah.  That might potentially be why you don't have trouble finding a fight.  ;)

After about midnight-1:00EDT, at least flying Rook, it starts to peter out and be as Juggler describes.  You'll get the occasional small furball depending who's on, but it can be a real pain to find opposing bardar that's more than 1 plane or 2 planes deep.

Quite often, the other two countries are engaged somewhere, and your country's fronts are pretty much dead.

Not grumbling about it particularly, just saying that's the behavior I've experienced.

Strange, it's the opposite of what I've encountered flying late nights for the Rookies.  I never seem to have troubles finding a fight...

Interesting, Ack.  More often than not it feels to me like the enemy bardars are few and far between, and what is there is usually covered up by a larger friendly force.  That's not what I'm looking for.

I generally find this between 1:30 and 2:00 EDT, which is when I generally go to bed.

   Player #s drop off at night I think. Does HTC not advertise in Alaska or Hawaii? I asume most players are on from 8:00 to 12:00 pm thier time. What else can you do in Alaska on a Cold Night?

  We need a chart of player activity time and location. Anyone with time to kill feel free.  :D

Less choice, less freedom.

This is the main issue with me, it seems to me there are better ways to limit "spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez"  :aok

I have not had to report my position for the past couple days as the fights have been ok albeit the typical HORDE CHERRYFEST but I find that preferable to GREEN HORDE!

I totally agree the 12 hour rule is ridiculous. I do the same thing JUGGLER does except I look for tank battles. The 12 hour rule though has put an end to my ability to change sides often to go where the GV battle is. I don't ever look at CV locations or missions so it's not like I'm spying. I'm just looking for a good ground fight. Really wish HTC would go back to 1 hour or less.

I may be completely off the mark here, but I don't think I've heard of, or run across any allegations of spying since the twelve hour limit has been imposed. I can't tell for certain if this has helped or hurt game play. That's for each member to decide. But as far as the spying goes, (for whatever reason) it seems to have all but disappeared.

I was accused  :furious of spying because I accidently came across an NOE mission.   :rolleyes:

Was not spying, just lucky.  :aok

Well Midway, while there will always probably be exceptions, yours is the first claim I've heard of. I'm sure there will be others, but the almost constant claim of "SPIES,SPIES" everywhere isn't heard that much now.

ANYBODY can announce a mission or CV location on 200.

ANYBODY can announce a mission or CV location on the phone.

ANYBODY can announce a mission or CV location over TS, Vent, etc.

Spiez is gonna be spiez. No way around it.  :noid

The 12 hour limit only prevents bored players from finding fights.

However, I haven't played in a few months, so what do I know anyway. (As an outsider looking in I think 12 hrs is teh ghey)

 :salute

P.S. What did you think of my attempt at teh interwebz spelling? Pretty good no?  :lol

Better check with DMGOD about that. I think he got into a little trouble over this, IIRC.
