Not anymore, but I grant you it's a good point.

A follow-up question:  Do you show mercy to those who say foolish things on 200?  

:D

200 is a constant display of people who say foolish things. If I responded to it I'd never have a chance to fly.

 :lol Oh come on, Bear.  Not every time for sure.... but I've seen you and others flay and fricassee some for far, far less.

Quoting yourself? Same here. :D

Not normally.  I did so because I realized MrGeezer might have a plausible answer for the question I posed.

Every time? No. If something is directed at me I will respond, but I type on 200 infrequently. You obviously don't follow channel 200 much or you would see it being used by many to "flay and fricassee" others every few minutes. Were you voted to be the moral compass of the community? I didn't get the memo.

Just curious as I have seen you do it before.

Lusche should make a pie graph of a breakdown of the number of posts per user in this thread so fulcrum can see how much fluff he has contributed. The number of words would be a good one too.

Sorry if it has been brought up already. Before I post my idea I will let you know that I just thought about it very shortly so there may be some flaws.

What if we had a system as to where we could switch sides every 1 hour only at off peak times? 

Something else that I'm sure could be coded, what if there was a system that when numbers got to a certain low threshold, they could have it be enabled to allow switching until numbers reballanced? 

Once again this isn't thought out. But, I figured since very little positive input that Grizz was talking about was put into this thread I might as well contribute something in the right direction.

When I flew a lot I hated the 12 hour switch time just sayin'.

And unfortunately your being able to do so with 'yer budz' might impact the "Let's take some bases / Win the map for Mother Chess Piece" crowd.  So unless someone is willing to come up with a reasonable compromise (i.e. the aforementioned "press button, go to lowest side" idea) ....we are back to square one.

ad infinitum...

Going way back here in the thread, but how does allowing players to change sides more frequently impact the "lets take some bases" crowd?  I'm asking for the logistics here, not philosophical fluff.  Please explain.

It affects them thus, If they happen to fail at taking said base then they have the immediate and palpable excuse that Grizz was on our side 20 minutes ago, and now he just killed the 32 jugs, 17 bombers and 47 goons in our mission!

It is very unfair


Mind you now, the 96 attackers in this mission was NOT unfair in the least to them, in fact it should have been 97 but you Grizz, just you changed sides and swung the balance unfairly!

You're a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaad man!

I can see feelings were hurt.  I apologize. 

I should not have used JUGGler's own words to point out the glaringly obvious.

Enjoy the High Road.   :salute

Well I thought I contributed something positive. It seems as if people still continue to derail the original motive.  People always have to have the last word.

Ace, your suggestion has a much merit as any I've seen.
