Poll: ideal arena balance

[MrRiplEy[H]]

X2lee so now it's my fault if some individuals decided to sabotage the poll? LOL.

I know you don't like me, nor do I like you. Go to bash some old women on the road, it fits you better.

[Toad]

You sabotaged your own "poll" by asking biased questions.

And you know it.

By "sabotage" in the first replies do you mean "they didn't like any of my biased choices so they made up their own"?

That's sabotage?

[MrRiplEy[H]]

In a way you're correct Toad since I proved that there aren't many people who want to play in the hole. What surprised me that there weren't too many people who wanted even fair terms..

That leaves with the question above; where will we find the willing drones to gangbang on?

[Toad]

Well, looks like about 25 folks bothered to even post in this thread.

I'm guessing by looking at the scores page that somewhere over 2000 people are playing the game.

You're an intelligent guy... how would you rate a totally unscientific poll that draws such a limited response?

"Proved"? You didn't even get any data!

I've dedicated most of my adult life to "playing in the hole".  

Err... are you talking about the arena?  Then in that case... I'm curious how you feel that saying the same thing over and over again "proves" anything.  Is it proof through self affirmation?

Erm... what?

Since there seem to be as many opinnions about this issue as there are players, a poll would be in order.

So, give us your opinnion about the perfect gameplay balance.
In your opinnion on general fun factor, which is the best;

a) Flying as underdog with 2-3 enemies for each friendly?
b) Flying as underdog with 1.2-1.5 enemies per friendly?
c) Flying on fair terms 1:1


Thanks for replying.

Using this kind of one-sided poll strategy, I'm going to conduct my own poll:

Who thinks MrRiplEy is:

a) Gay
b) a studmuffin
c) a Homo

Thanks for replying.

Think about it Rip, is this poll fair, or does it have an agenda?
Does it give you a fair chance to express your thoughts on the issue?
Sorry for using this kind of example, but it seems like the only way to make an analogy to your "poll" that might make you realize why it's flawed.

Ah Eskimo!

The perfect scientifically "balanced" poll!

I just hope none of the early posters "sabotage" your data gathering!

According to you, we can find them in Rookland...

LOL, everything is supposed to be fair but the MA.  


....yeah right.

[MrRiplEy[H]]

Toad: I guess you're an intelligent guy too and gathered that 2000 people also didn't come here expressing their differing thoughts.

Eskimo2: You must be experiencing some hard times in your life with your sexual uncertainties. Maybe you're troubled with your own sexual orientation which makes you bring it up here where it has nothing to do with anything.. Come on Eskimo come out of the closet.

Ok mRrIPlEy, condidering you have become the poster boy for side balancing I"m gonna offer my view to you.

There has to be some reason why Rooks are consistently outnumbered. Now I have listened to your theories about it, and always directed at Bish with an insulting tone I might add are something to the effect of...we need a numerical advantage because we're, skilless, scared, bucktoothed, ugly, under five feet tall etc. (You get the picture).

Now most of the Rooks are great guys however in my opinion the four biggest loudmouth, know it all , crybaby, blowhards in the game are Rooks. Perhaps It's time for YOU to take some responsibilty for the low numbers, could even be that YOU drive people away.

Twice I have come from Bish to Rook just before we reset you in an attempt to show you that we are not all as you constantly paint us in your daily longwinded harangues on channel 1. I didn't find you to be any more pleasant to fly with as against so take a look in the mirror friend.

[MrRiplEy[H]]

Aztec I don't know what to say here..

So, if I start taunting the other side BECAUSE they constantly outnumber us, it's all of the sudden my fault it happened in the first place? LOL.

Come on, come up with something better.

For 2 days (weekend) the sides were actually evened up, now at this time arena numbers are 46 bish 24 knights and 14 rooks.
It's not even close to reset, all countries have over 15 fields.

There's not much left to be said.. Numbers talk the talk.

[MrRiplEy[H]]

I'd like to see what AKAK has for an explanation for this one..

But.. I guess there's nothing to be done. I give up and let you play the gangbanging game as you want. IMO it would be more fun being balanced, but I guess there's a majority that disagrees with me.

[aztec]

My point is pretty simple MrriPley, ya catch more flies with honey than with vineger. Ya want more friendlies, try being more friendly.
It may not help, but it sure as hell can't hurt. .

Edited due to typical handsomehunk spelling and it's still probably wrong:)

Yep, I'm smart enuf ta figgur that out Cuzin Rip!

Heckers, I'm 'most smart enuf ta figgur out that a clearly biased poll...

.... wasn't going to "prove" anything at all and that it was most likely to draw the exact response you got.

But don't let that stop you from telling everyone what this thread "proves".
