You want rules imposed on people having fun without rules, becasue you are convinced you know better than they do how to have fun for their $14.95.   No, I'm say rotate in something new every 5 maps or so...If people say it sucks, get rid of it.   I just threw the not being able to up at the same base as an idea


With almost no rules or restricitons in the MA players are free to have fun and create their own individual experience. What you propose as rules are restrictions to force the paying customes in the community to follow a collective driven focus instead of individual focuses towards individual fun for their hard earned money. You seem to beleive yourself a better buisnessman than HiTech when it comes to keeping "his" doors open. Your only qualifying statment defines that it's time to sweep out the old and try the new...what ever it is but, the new for the sake of the new. So why even have a wish list forum?  "Everything must stay the same" says Blockbuster video

Your rules would have the same effect on player creativity in the game as does heavy taxation on companies creating new products, expanding, and hiring new employees. Taxes are restrictions on creative activity and punishment of the individual by redistribution of the owners created wealth. Simply by the decision of a thrid party who is convinced they know better than the owner of the company or his customers how their energies and monies should be directed.

So you know better than us paying customers how we want to, or should spend our energies in our limited time to have fun in this game? Wow, reminds me of the people in Washington DC and my taxes.

Who here likes paying taxes just because someone in a far off place tells you to pay your fair share because you don't have a clue how to manage or spend your own money? Or you don't have a clue how to play in the MA?
I think this your attempt to make some kind of thinly-veiled attempt to call me a liberal, when outside the world of cartoon planes my politics would probably make your brand of conservatism look more like RuPaul than Rand Paul.

IE Every 5th map players who die will not be able to sorte out of the base the previously used.   

ray think about it. the purpose of the game is to promote combat not avoid it.

No doubt.   And I was just using an example of what I'd like.   But someone gave other ideas about randomizing the lbs of HE to destroy structures.   I like this, right now when a mission goes up, if the guy running the mission knows what he's doing( ET comes to mind), he know exactly how many lbs he need for everything. If he has guys he trusts he wouldn't even need a backup plan.   I think that could add to the fog of war experience, but hell, I'm just sayin' rotate some one these ideas in, if they suck and most hate them, get rid of them.

Rules need to be kept to a minimum.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Rules only have one purpose. To control human conduct or penalise them. As a rule, rules as with laws and taxes tend to only benifit the special interest who begged for them to be implemented. Universaly the originator couldn't give a ratz hairy kester about uninteded consiqueces and tends to never have to suffer the consiquences. Just that what he wanted was imposed on the larger population.

Why do you want HiTech to impose restrictions on other players actions when you are just as free as them to act in direct response or tangently to punish them as their choice of actions leave an opening they will not have the time to address. You cannot be in two places at the same time. All actions have cosiquences.

With no rules or punishments, the consiquences tend to be active disinterest in the bigger picture while favoring selfinterest. Rules in the MA seem to always be an effort to punish paying customers for not paying attention to what the begger of said rules beleives is more important.

Just like laws and taxes in the real world.

Guys who here likes paying any more taxes than you have to? You already pay a $14.95 fee to access a no rules game arena. Why do you want to pay an extra fee of your game freedom which you already pay hard earned money to experience? Based on the wants of a fellow player and his minority of likeminded? Rules that can force players to conduct themsleves in the manner the begger of said rules wants, have to give noncompliance punishment enough bite to make paying customers fear disobaying. Other wise they will simply ignore them or find creative ways to play around them.

HiTech has been very carfull all of these years about how he imposes restrictions in the MA. And you are still paying him $14.95 for access. The OP and supporters are essentialy asking you to vote for them over HiTech to determine how your $14.95 is spent by HTC to provide your game fun. Same sales pitch species politicians buy your votes with by convincing you there is a problem, the current administration is clueless to your pain and suffering, your life is one big bag of unhappiness, so vote for him and his shiney new and improved laws and regulations to save you from what??

It always begins with: Theres gotta be a law. A few innoucuous ones get passed. And ends with you being punished for being yourself in the name of the collective good one morning before you get out of bed.

I've never met a conservitive who had to tell people he was a conservitive. When you meet one it's very obvious and needs no explanation.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

...I hate authority...unresolved political issues...



You still haven't answered my question, where do the sandbox kids get their sandbox skills? Should I give you a hint? Parents! Come on now, just one more step to go.

Fear? You bet your life...but that all leaves you as you reach combat. Then there's a sense of great excitement, a thrill you can't duplicate anywhere...it's actually fun. Yes, I think it is the most exciting fun in the world. — Lt. Col. Robert B. "Westy" Westbrook, USAAF 6/<--lol@mod
