You’re biased and you don’t even play

Ad hominem: Calling someone an idiot attacks the person rather than addressing their argument.
Dismissal based on participation: "If not we don’t care what you think or say" suggests that someone who doesn't play the game has no standing to offer an opinion. Playing experience can be relevant, but it doesn't automatically determine whether an argument is valid.
Unsupported personal characterization: The references to being 15 years old and being a "YKW praiser whacko" are personal disparagements, not substantive rebuttals.
Gatekeeping: He attempts to disqualify someone's contribution based on their perceived relationship to the game rather than engaging with its content.
Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

If it's "Snow White" you are quoting then it's actually "Magic mirror on the wall".

I like reading AI's analysis of the posts here. I find them amusing. It doesn't bother me if it finds my posts are dismissive or not objective. Especially when that is what I intended. If it's analysis bothers you because you think it is exposing you to others then trust me, they already know.

It's funny, I never read that story but I saw the movie when I was a kid and I still remember mirror mirror on the wall. I do not believe we all share different past realities, not even a little bit, but the Mandela Effect is an interesting phenomenon. Whatever the cause.


The Mandela Effect

• Collective false memory: This mix-up is a classic example of the Mandela Effect, where a large group of people misremembers a famous quote because a book, song, or oral retelling differs from the original source material.
• Mixed media: Official merchandise, older storybooks, and subsequent adaptations sometimes even mixed the two up internally, reinforcing the "mirror, mirror" phrasing in popular consciousness.

18Whiskey here. I hate ENY. Take it away or disable at 40 players. It does the Job at making me log off. I’m not switching countries for balancing. Is not cool defending a base when 3 pilots from the same country are flying la7 and spit16 while the I’m flying a P-40. End the rest of my country are trying to take back a base on the other side of the map.

I don't want ENY at all, I understand I dont switch sides when im supposed to and log as well. But I understand the want for it at the same time :,(. I have a lot of ideas for the game for rewarding behaviors. Incentives for achievements and scaling that with perks for every category then getting a large lump of perks for a star. Extreme perk bonuses for the no cost rides scaled on numbers even more so, letting the players have fun farming perks then being able to use those large number of perks on an unbalanced team(flying a 262 or b29 anytime you want at an extreme cost). High risk low reward situation. I understand this would also add more perk planes at just lower cost. (Overall more perk bonuses)

Also talking about balancing along with this same idea would be balancing take off with force. Let's say your team has a full radar bar in a sector, you restrict flight(planes) within this sector and possibly the immediate surrounding sectors. (You're unable to fly your plane from this field). But they can still fly any plane in from a different sector. This would force self balancing the fight along another front). This is only works for planes and not GVs.

Isn't the removal of ENY only going to make map swaps sooner..

I have not seen anyone who likes it..so why not kill it..

It has never been a factor in my game play so I don't have a dog in this hunt..

But who really cares if a side wins a map alittle sooner with eny disabled..

I'll be checking in from time to time to see if the ENY issue ever gets adjusted for the lower numbers. I closed my account.
I was relegated to the "I'm done with you on the subject" response and told my arguments were disingenuous.

I wish I could post the discussions the LCA have had on ENY. I'm not the only person fed up with consistently being blacked out of half the planes in the hanger so the other 4 players online on the big empty map can have a more enjoyable game experience at my expense.

I'm not going to go around and bad mouth Dale or the game, but I want it known how I feel about the petty attitude and outright dismissal of my concerns.

I want the game to succeed and I hope it gets more players and does better. I'm glad Dale is back and excited to jump back into the development and betterment of the game.

Ya, there's things that work great with hundreds of players but not so much with current numbers.

I think on of the issues is that those who are left may have a different idea of what's good in the game than those who have left and polling the ones that are left without ever getting feedback from the ones that left is going to result in more of the same.

There are obviously somethings that would boost the numbers but you'll get the: "I'm done with you on the subject" if you bring it up.

Like you I keep checking in hoping...
