Poor gameplay
« on: April 03, 2022, 02:53:09 PM »
Today at 12:45 Pacific Standard Time, the bish owned 48% Nit fields. while 0wning 76% of their fields and they are not playing to win. Only to grind one side into the ground.

I feel that whenever a team goes below 45% an Armistice should be declared and no winners and no perks given. This would force teams to plan ahead and go ahead and win the war rather than just grinding one team into the ground

It's easily proved that self esteem, self identity, is established by accomplishments.  However, there's also a school of thought that proposes that "when what you do becomes what you are, you are headed for a breakdown."

As for me, my self esteem, my identity, is not locked into a game I use for diversion from real world issues.  I have an eight year old grandson with back problems, and I can assure you, I spend a lot more time worrying about him than I do about who's going to do what in a game

When this happens to the country you usually play on, good luck finding much of a continuous battle. It causes a lot of players log off (I’ve noticed countless times) and that further makes game play on that country sparse.

When I log into this situation I either sit there and stare at the map wondering what to do (log off or switch countries) or I put on auto-switch or just switch to where it looks like there will be a fight for a few hours. Often auto-switch will not help because it will put you on the low #’s side, the one that also has few bases and sparse fights. So you decide to attack, but they out number you very quickly…

Your solution may help, but I doubt seeing anything implemented because as always what are the unintended consequences?
They're casting their bait over there, see?

A sense of power is as addictive to some people as some drugs. Worst part, it leads many to log off.

I agree, there is NO CALL to reduce any country to that level, period. :mad:

That having been said, all 3 countries do it, Bishops, Knights & Rooks. :rolleyes: When my side does I try to go attack the other country. It is not unreasonable to get 2 or 3 extra bases for a buffer.

Maybe a percentage cutoff would be appropriate, but that will have to be something decided and implemented by Hitech. Skuzzy was not above resetting the arena in situations like that, I saw it happen more than once.

I mean Bish morning crew are no different than the midwar tards back in the day <S>  :neener:

Now with that said let's break this down from a strategic position. After the early early morning crew (knits) roll 1-6 bases the varsity morning crew logs in for their usual 3-6 hour blitzkrieg running 11-18 deep versus 3-8 players on the other side they are attacking. Almost every single day.

Bish morning crew are veteran tactical players and this is their primetime. There is no blame to push on this. When they play for a win, without a win setup by the night crew, it always back fires on them and the ground the gained is lost through out the day.

Out of the 2 opposing countries, knights hands down hold the greatest threat to bish security and a clear path to victory the majority of the time. By grinding as many bases from the knights as possible, this limits the opportunity for the knit horde to roll later on in the day. It also allows enough resources to be focused on the rooks at night.

If the Bishops aren't taking their foot off the gas and switching to rooks then it's to make a clear point. It's to display their dominance in the MA and nothing can be done about it crying from side lines. For those trying to stop it, their isn't a dam thing they can do either because no one rallies together under 1 banner in leadership while coordinating strategic defense and counter-attacks.

I have absolutely no problem with what the bish morning crew are doing and I mostly play as a knight. Some play for entertainment and are not invested in the war. Others, we grind our butts off for victory and seize every opportunity to do so. With the lack of overall dominance by rooks over the past year, except at times when they actually play to win, rolling knits is the clear and obvious choice to setup the bish for the win. Does it always work? No! In fact I'd say it's less than 50% effective.

 :cheers: Here's to the bish. If the community has a problem with it well call in sick from work, log in, do what it takes to stop it and push back. :bolt:

I can't take this post by Cane seriously.
I remember way back when this guy called Jonah out as a "Cheat" for using a CV's to create gameplay and fights.

the thread you have quoted is about der Jude being a cheat. I found two quotes from me and at no time did I accuse him of being a cheat. I complained about him jumping sides and running the boat directly into bombers. If there was a third post by me I can't find it and I stand by my not accusing anyone of being a cheat

Oh that smile's pretty big now
