Pros and Cons on the 12 Hour Horse

[Soulyss]

What I think would be an interesting social experiment would be change what happens when the map is reset, or the "war" in won.

Assuming the following values for each country

Bishops = 1
Knights = 2
Rooks = 3


When everyone logged in after a reset whatever country they were on prior to winning would get a +1.  Bishops would become Knights, Knights become Rooks, etc.  The rosters wouldn't get mixed but the country affiliation would get rotated.

You're forgetting the "griefers". Those that have nothing better to do than run around trying with intent to ruin the game for everyone else. Find and enemy CV and sink it, find the missions and disrupt them, and just generally be a PITA for no other reason than they can. These are the same A-holes that show up in multi player shooters and kill team mates.

[Babalonian]

You really believe that?  I wish someone would film such an incident where someone switched sides to do that.  Never seen it in all my years.  I must be doing something wrong!

I do.  And you believe it's so unattractive and no new player would dare attempt to do it, because?  Or that such players regularly record such illfated and conceived sorties? 

Some of the only missions to ever grace this BBS are the ones that get proked on a runway, I certainly find less posts about normal and successful ones.

we havent seen a guy that is in a country that has no fights either.

Now THAT is rediculous, sure we have, anyone can visit the EW or MW arena late at night when there are less than 5 people in it and see for themselves that guys play with themselves in there all the time.   

Let me guess.  You are a politician or in law enforcement, right?

Nope, just older and wise(arse)-r.

What about the spies?....the spies.........

Honestly, people could find out nmy cv's ect pretty easily.  A shorter time limit should offset people who hide CV's.  1 hour ok.

Yeah maaan, those spiez are horriblez, it's like, the CVs might as well spawn exclusively at these places on the map marked with a unique icon and their own unique alpha-numeric identifier, travel about as fast as a cruise ship, and respawn like clockwork and on a tight schedule after sinking the old one.... o wait...

I learned last night that semp only engages in "fights he expects to win".  Must explain why he was avoiding the low ridin K4 in all even numbered situations. 

A LOW K$$$$$, where!?!?1   

How would that even work? Been here 11 years and have yet to see or hear of the mission busting Lancs ruining someone's day.

Here, I'll take the easy route, and let you neigh sayers who can't be wrong dig your own hole:  So you're saying a Lancaster can't pork a mission on the runway?  Explain? 

I've seen a player in a CV-destroying mission switch sides, up off that CV, and make the field in time in his F6F to have a field day.  It was hilariously shameful for us, and I imagine a hoot for him.  Heck, if I recall correctly some lucky stuka or d3a driver got almost a dozen pigs on the runway a few months ago, and effectively knocked them out of the fight for over 15 minutes because they couldn't stop laughing or slapping that lucky player on the back over squad VOX.

I have seen Lancasters pork missions on the runways, both friendly and enemy, and on more than a handful of occasions in just two years.  The stats page will back me up if the porked mission whine posts in this forum won't - instances exist of lancasters flown by players decamating a large fraction of players exlusively in one squad just once that tour, and all in the same plane.  Coincidences, possible.  All of them?... pass that bottle.


This thread is full of win today.

well considering that you challenged me to the da with my choice of plane then refused to follow thru  ,  i dont see why we should discuss this any further.  besides you already think only a few can beat me in the game and I value your opinion.  I would really hate to disappoint you.

I never challenged you to the DA.  I simply said I will fight you anytime, any aircraft, any alt, any E state, after you ran like a little girl from a 1v1 and then came back looking for picks once I engaged others who had the testicular fortitude to fight.  That was right before you challenged me to duel goons in the DA, which I obviously dismissed as kook talk.

so we both agree you refused to duel me.  and that was after you ho'd and ran from me like a little girl then augered when you lost your advantage  .

Don't worry Grizz, he said he would 'never win' against a 5 or so of players, not lose... You might get lucky.

This is borderline gibberish Capt. Condescension. How does a friendly Lanc take out teamates exactly? And while I don't find it surprising a lone Stuka could take out a dozen of you, why was he on your squad vox? Anyways, you orignal post suggests players notice your mission, switch sides, and then catch you on the runway and bomb you. I'm not so sure other players are the problem if you're getting owned by Lancs and Stukas but then again I'm just a "niegh sayer".


Niegh!!!!!!

so you dont wanna see the film of you hoing me then running away then augering when you lost the adavantage  ? 

Well if you're going to post the film, be sure to post the first 3 minutes or so before I ho'd at you starting at about the point where I come in to fight you 1v1 with all this "E advantage" as you put it, even though you booked it and outran me like a banshee.  Interesting how my plane with more E advantage can't even get close to running down a plane with less E.

sure grizz a pony heavy with fuel and low and slow can outturn a 109.  you didnt fight anybody there and nobody fought you.  you caught them barely off the runway low and slow with your 109 and pick them.  then come here whining cause I didnt give you another easy kill.  then when you knew you had lost the advantage you went for the ho ran then augered.  you may have lots of skill but you still resort to pick like the rest of us  .

sorry having a discussion with grizz.   think he's old and skill enough  to not need help from the rest of his squad since the rest of you werent there.  unless of course he isnt and he must need help from the squadies.
