Heh, yeah I'd say it's a pretty good example. Sorry

The problem as I see it is that some folks think "it only happens to us rooks/bish/knights" which is absolute balderdash. Beyond that, numbers themselves don't tell the story.

Here it is 2032 CDT in the US. I just logged in on the other computer.

Numbers:

Bish 156

Knights 142

Rooks 163

Not bad right?

Except the Bish own 6 bases, three airfields and three vehicle bases. All are capped and under heavy attack.

There is ONE.. repeat ONE sector that shows knights fighting rooks.

Basically the Bish are getting ganged by both of the other sides.

Now, I could go crying...... but instead I'm going flying.

It's been this way the last three times I logged in but I don't care.

You care. Must be tough to be you. Just a game to me. If I didn't enjoy it, I guarantee you I wouldn't do it.

Cya up there!

Update:

Flew for about an hour until Bish were reset by Rooks.

Never took off from any field that wasn't capped.

Never could get more than 25% gas.

Flew the 205, landed a few with 3 kills, died in a few with 5+ kills. Think my best may have been 6 or 7 kills.

In a 25% fuel 205 that sucks up the gas.

What a turnin' burnin' blast!

I love this stuff.

Of course....... YMMV!

That's ok Toad if your definition of fun is to be vulched every day..

One would think though that you get tired of that sooner or sooner.

Toad · « **Reply #34 on:** June 03, 2002, 06:57:03 AM »

I gave out more than I took.

Yep, I'd call that fun.

You probably should find another way to entertain yourself. AH isn't ever going to be "fair" and it doesn't look like you can get over that fact.

MrRiplEy[H] · « **Reply #35 on:** June 03, 2002, 07:12:37 AM »

Maybe. It's quite a shock there are so many dweeby players, but I should have known human nature.

At least the H2H arena's have hosts regulating uneven teams, looks like there's more chivalry in h2h than in the main.

if you expect fairness in the MA you would better try to find another game ...

Straffo there are none that I know of. All are played by humans and I don't know any flight sims that would require team balance like most fps games do for example.

Imagine playing MOH with 10 allied and 1 german.. LOL.

In any case I'm getting over the AH burnout I've had. Lately I've just flown dweeby planes, furballed and ackstarred in low alt buffs. I think I'll practise spawn point camping etc. fun activities next. The game does seem to be much more fun without worrying about the strat aspect for nothing.

OTOH vacation is increasingly near and the whole concept of AH seems less and less appealing to me. Maybe I'll be back after the summer, maybe not.

straffo · « **Reply #38 on:** June 03, 2002, 07:38:45 AM »

For me MA is just a training for TOD or scenario

So I don't really care of fairness gangbang ackstaring ...

It's annoying when a country is in the bucket ... nothing a good book can't cure

Ah, the mournful sadness of nobility lost! Where have all the chivalrous lords and their ladies gone?

Almost brings a tear to one's eye, does it not?

No one will play FAIR with you! What injustice! What pathos!

Don't you just HATE it when people fly planes you don't want them to fly? When they fly in ways you don't think they should fly? Those DWEEBS! Those unchivalric QUAKERS! Have you realized that some guys actually fly historically good planes, do well in them and then have the nerve to ENJOY themselves? Disgusting. But what can you expect from mere humans? The masses are just not NOBLE; that's always been the problem through history, hasn't it?

Why doesn't everyone fly the C-202 anyway? In a manly, chivalric manner, of course. No dweeby furballing.. no dweeby ackstarring.. why DON'T they fly in accordance with your clear sense of what is proper?

Perhaps H2H would be much better for you. Perhaps you can even host a Chivlaric Arena there with rules and everything so people MUST play the way you feel is best for all.

That's be great, eh? Maybe you ought to give THAT a try.

Well I'm sure your presence will be missed. Sort of like missing the sound of an overheated axle bearing, but missed nonetheless.

I hope you enjoy your vacation! I hope you have a very looooooooong vacation!

Toad I don't have any problems with certain planetypes, that's your own invention.

And as an end conclusion: bite me. I will keep posting whines on this board just to piss You off Toad. Oh what pathos.

Hey, go for it Axle Bearing!

Touchingly sad stories of injustice and incredible suffering like yours are always interesting. I love reading them.

Especially when one can compare say.... a pancreatic cancer victim that finds pleasure in just waking up everyday to people who are having angst because they think that an online computer game is not being played "fair" or that chivalry is dead in a game.

Always interesting to see what some folks think is "really tough".

Toad you're attempting to justify a completely biased gameplay balance. If you had any more brains you'd realise that it's detrimental to both sides in the long run.

My guess is that you're just jealous that I'll be spending the weeks on the beach.. muhah.

I said dweeby planes because I consider some planetypes not challenging at all.. but I haven't complained about people flying those planes - it's their decision. We all were new once.

No, I'm not attempting to justify anything at all. I just play the game. I have faith that if something really gets unbalanced HTC will deal with it at that time. As far as perceived imbalances, I just don't agree with you. You think you have a problem in one particular relatively short time of day when a particular, very small percentage of the player base is online, ie: Eurotime.

In this regard, you post perceptions unsupported by documented facts. You show the odd screenshot but not a pie chart or graph that shows the flow of player count around the clock, day by day, week by week in the MA. You have no data with respect to the number of resets by each country, by particular map, showing starting map positions for each country throughout the tour.

HTC has all of this data. I think if they see a true problem, they'll fix it.

You, and others like you, in similar threads dealing with gameplay or aircraft or perks or whatever seem to continually endorse forcing folks to do something they don't want to do. Switch countries, fly certain planes, be unable to fly certain planes, somehow eliminate HO tactics, add "chivalry"

, etc., etc., etc.

The common thread, of course, is that other folks should do as you axle bearings tell them to do.

Sorry. Although I've spent days on beaches from the Phillipines to Okinawa to Hawaii to California to Texas to Florida to New Jersey to Brighton to Nice to a number of places in Greece...... I'm not really a beach person.

So, enjoy. I'll be going other places than beaches for my vacations this year. First up is the Con. Then Canada for some goose hunting with Sax and Beemer and then following the flights South for a month or two. Best part is that when my Labradors whine it means the fun is about to start.

Or can you think of some way to make me take what you consider to be the "proper" vacation?

Thus you denigrate those aircraft that you in your infallible wisdom have found to be "not worthy" with the term "dweeby" and, by association, also denigrate all those pilots that find those particular aircraft an enjoyable way to entertain themselves for $15/month. Shame on them! Why won't they fly planes that you find "challenging" or "worthy" or "chivalrous"? What is the matter with those guys anyway?
