For all of you _vocal_ strategist types that like to play General in MA, I offer this little piece of advice so it might help you generate some support for your cause of the moment...and as a result shut up on ch2
.
Speak through missions, not the country channel.
Every night its the same thing. There's a small group (every country has them I'm sure) that constantly barks over ch2 about where folks should fight, and why, and how those that don't are all idiots. The rant is endless. Now I realize you see some grand strategy at work here, right or wrong, and that's fine. However to put that in motion you need some level support in the form of bodies. I can assure you that the tirades that we're forced to read through aren't helping your cause at all. On the contrary, they do the exact opposite. I rarely join missions but I will often help in an area if needed. However when I read enough of these rants I make a point of doing exactly the opposite of what that person is after.
If you want to move the fight in a certain direction, BUILD MISSIONS. People will typically follow the action, and missions are instant action generators. Eventually even those that don't care about the overall strategy will lend their help too, not for that sake mind you, but just due to the fact that a good fight now rages in your area of concern.
Point being if you want to move the action over to a specific country or a specific area, start building missions there and you WILL get the action there. This isn't rocket science but from what I've seen its well beyond the grasp of some. Actually in many cases the very ones that rant are never the creators of a mission. Odd indeed...loud and lazy...wonderful combo
.
You all know who you are. Do yourselves and your countrymates a favor and get off ch2 with the rants. Speak with actions instead, I'm sure you'll enjoy the game much more. I know I will.
Once we get a permanent squelch, I don't care what you do, I won't hear you. In the interim though missions are there for a reason, use em.
