I don’t understand what fun there is hording unchallenged, other than stationary targets.

Nor do I, Animl.
That's one reason I fly alone a lot.  I see friendlies ganging up on guys a lot too. 
I prefer to go off and just have fun.
When I see a friendly base being horded, I go check it out and see if the attackers are seriously trying to take the base, or just luring defenders up to pad their kill stats (and it's not hard to tell what they really want).  I don't mind getting shot down defending if upping might prevent the base from being captured.  But upping to pad someone's stats..........nope, I look elsewhere.

Both countries had Rooks tied up in a knot  last night.  It was our time in the barrel. It happens to all the countries. Game play was still good.

Good point.
If my own country is ganging a ganged country,... I do something else. I typically try to avoid joining in. It would be hypocritical if I did what I complain about. <shrug>

Ever notice the whiners repeat themselves countless times?

We cant get mad at folks getting organized and rally. I admit, it alot of fun but the last few nights, its been a toxic waste dump hoarding with about 40 to 1 odds just purging the map.

That's why 3 sides don't work with today's numbers..

Make the game two sided and many issues self correct..

I’m going to have to start invoicing for repeats.
Further replies will suffer price increase.

I honestly believe that there are so many players that are either loyal to a chess piece or want to remain part of the horde that 2 sides would not fix the issue.  I believe you would have a handful of players quit because they couldn't fathom having to change countries while the remaining players continue to pile on one side.

Yes HT needs to really confuse them and make one side gray and the other side blue...

Those "Tramp stamp" chess piece tattoos are hard to change or get rid of apparently.

Come to think of it that's one thing I really do like about the game I currently play. Usually it's a fight of 16x16. Only way you get ganged is if you team sux and gets wiped out and then your left with like 6 to 1 lol. The other cool is the bombers and attack planes get are start but have the option to take off from the base.

I recall it was going down hill with the pickin and hordin when I left but from what I read here it seems it's gotten much worse.

I kinda like Tramps. I think of them as share bears!

Im a big advocate and would love to see this down to 2 countries however I do see how keeping 3 will always keep things much more dynamic. 2 sides would produce a virtual stale-mate on both sides IMO. Maps would go through reset much less frequently and that would then discourage a huge population of the players who thrive on attacking the no resistance base takes which has unfortunately gotten to be a huge percentage of players now a days.

It certainly isnt helping the #s when every battle during the day is just a 30-2 gang fest where every clown has to double and tripple on the only fighter in the area in super 190Ds... just ridiculous right now.
