The crater airbases without ords idea was an offhand remark, I wasn't seriously expecting it to happen. Having said that I think in this case it would add a challenge for those people who wanted to take out TT GVs from these airbases. They'd have to use tank busting planes like the Il-2, Ju 87G and Hurri IID rather than just dropping 1K bombs on them. Taking out the other airbases would be more about covering your attacking GVs from the air and less about bombing the base flat.

I agree numbers is the real problem but I think map design can help here. Currently players log in outside of peak hours and see half a dozen tiny dar bars across the long front line and just log off again. The chances of getting a decent fight are just too small to make it worth the time to investigate. If all those tiny dar bars were compressed into one bigger one though they'd be more likely to up. This then becomes a benign circle, more players upping mean a bigger darbar that means more players upping and so on.

I think you are 100% correct and have the right idea. Its all about the maps in today's day and age. Thats why I think your adjustments are great because Ive been wanting CraterMA gone for a while now. Along with bowlMA and Oceania. The best way to build #s is by starting with the off hours and that starts with fun battles on the map even with low #s. These types of maps also keep players logged in longer as the night ends where you might play until 12am instead of 10:30 because the battle is so good. Thats what builds #s over time.

You turned this into a ghost town with your whacko child drama.
You trued that last year just too, didn’t go well for you.

You say I made it about me when you tried to make a whole insulting thread about me just to have it locked, so you came to this one to spew your vomit. Fruit

Btw you made my very point. A do nothing who complains about doers.

You ARE 1 of the 5 players ignored because of lil girl drama like this. You ARE one of the 5 yep you are. YOU made this thread about me because the other got locked. Get help

Ahhh yes its Dadtallica the mediocre speaking on behalf of the community again without the communities endorsement to do so.

ANIML is in fact wanted around here. Hell he has done more for this game than you have by a long shot.

Stick to paying your $15 and padding your enemies score my guy your awful at everything else.

Thanks merv,
I don’t get it, but it didn’t start with me. Blue Baron, Gypsy Baron, even Gray Eagle, some mass talent behind AW took the same treatment in the first days. It was sad and sick the people that were beat down and/or chased off.  “…this is our game, we don’t need you…”. The contributions they were capable of were huge. We were not welcomed with open arms by far. These guys towered over me, but I learned from them.

I know there was a lil bad blood that Kesmai didn’t take Ht and Pyro onboard. They could have helped save AW. Both very talented. I was for it. But my vote didn’t count. In the end the byproduct was AH. HT invented several things (he pattened?)

Before my return I went to HTC FB page to see the status of the game. All HT did was a 2019 post a pic of a tank skin and he was beat down for that. That sickened me. He never posted again that I know. I can’t blame him.

Point being, a much more unpleasable and angry crowd.

It’s not new to AH. It makes no sense.

What does make sense is the majority of Animl haters are disgruntled former players with a very negative agenda to be here. They hate that I try to help something when their whole goal is to break everything. I’m a counter to their negative efforts. I must be gone for them to succeed in killing it, so they can say “I told you it would die”, well ya, they are forcing it. It’s a sick obsession they totally lost control of.

I never saw people quit a game but hang around with a negative agenda longer then they actually played the game.

Most SANE people don’t kick a GF to the curb, break up, then show up at her home everyday to throw rocks at the windows to harass her for their own doing. That is not sane. There’s something very wrong upstairs and its mire obvious to others than themselves, that is the norm.

What they did was double down on the negative to overcome anything I do, again, not sane, absolutely NOT honest brokers. Deviates and proud of it.

I can go on, but my main point IS they will nnot crush me the way they did the people above. I would rip off my own arm and beat them with the bloody end over giving them another win.

The only current customer if that tribe is in this post, I don’t get that, and not going to waste time trying to. I’m not putting effort to please foot stomping fecal farming former whiners. No one should ever respond to a foot stomping child. To do so encourages to do it more to get what they want. So at times I can’t blame HT for sitting back. I might do the same. He sad byproduct of that feeds the disgruntled firmer players goal. Catch 22.

Personally, after yrs of patterns with that tribe, they would be permabanned, they contribute NOTHING but angst and hate.

I’ll abide to HT pressing the shock collar button, but I refuse them a negative win. Kesmai had a shock collar on me too. Turn it off and I’m holding heads. This is the white glove side of me. Even when I did hold power I only used privs 3 times.i would clean house here.

No matter what they pull, they are NOT running me off. Learn it, live it, love it. They aren’t going to do to me what they did to my elders. Nope, not happening. Former players consuming our forum with BS should not be happening. They are not customers, they will not be customers, they have no standing. They drive customers off. They eat their own feet, they eat your feet too. Toxic poison.

When we brought numbers up they either skimmed them or scared em off. It looks like I don’t respect them because I don’t, plenty of reason.

They should like when I’m loud, because when I’m silent its because I’m about to oress a button, which I don’t own. Lucky them. Losing 4 firmer players to gain 20 customers? It would happen in half a breath.

Evidently, the saga continues. That is what the rotten shame is.
I’m a good guy, until I’m not.
