I don't read a whine in there anywhere, HT. Just a statement of fact.

No, Larry, the ack that hit you was me. Then you admitted to cheating on open channel. It must be an open sore, as a lot of your AK buds have responded.

The rest of these guys (asses all) don't have a clue!

Today, Preon1 used his 'roommates' computer to log in and find a CV one of the Bishops had moved from immediate striking
                 distance. Since, the cv wasn't in easy range, a few rooks decided to cheat to find it. Using a second account a defector
                 moved to the CV and spied for them.

Hey Voss, just out of curiosity, how do you know that Preon's roomie was sitting in the CV tower?  He could have been in any tower in Bishland.

Is it cheating?  Well the game does allow it.  Does it go against the spirit of the game?  I certainly think so.  I think Hobodog has the perfect solution.  I don't see what the hell Voss's past has to do with any of it.

Hey Voss,

How about some screen shots?

Dev update?

Comon man...

[eskimo2]

Milk it Voss!

Oops, yes, HoboDog I didn't mean to include you with all the clueless posts. Your suggestion actually echoes mine in another thread (uncommented upon by HT), and I find that refreshing.

Mjollnir, it is a well known fact that you can highlight a players name in the clipboard roster and then hit the 'goto' button. He was the only bishop on the CV (other than me), and coincidentally, the only player with a team mate in rookland.

Thrawn, they are not capable of going there with you. Hate and discontent is all these tulips know.

AKLarry, I don't think you really meant to 'cheat.' But, you said you did. What you said was, "I got word of a cv's location, and acted upon it," or something like that. What gave you away was the fact that one CV was between you and the one you were after. You left it alone. That meant your cv locator was a defector. That's how I found him. As to your cover story: If your best friend in High School got the answers to the upcoming Calculus test, and you knew he had the answers, would you get them from him? Obviously, you would.

This action goes against the spirit of the game in a big way. Many of you have proven to be ruthless to a fault. You would sell your grandmothers last breath for a kill. In a word you are full of guile. I don't admire guile.

Here's you "Whine of the week."

Pathetic is right. I told you I hit you, Larry. I told you your use of the Arado was pathetic, too. Worse, it's pathetic talking about yourself in third person.

If, HTC had the CV as a model category for expanded stats, you would see that I have at least thirty-eight CV kills and no deaths to CV's while flying the Arado. I have lost three to disco, and one to a 262.

If you guys (opposing country) resort to hiding the CV up where no one can use it and you yourselves are not using it, I think you should immediately disclose the location of the CV.  

Having failed to do that, I think it is perfectly reasonable for a rook to defect and find the location and report back to the bishops the location.  Aint nothing wrong with espionage - especially when the game is being gamed.

I think most fighter pilots would IRL too, guess that makes virtual fighter pilots a similar breed.

[moose]

didn't I say it was a game?

ah well. i'd bet a dollar no one really cares all that much.

I profoundly disagree. Concealment of CV's is one of the main mechanisms whereby a country can be reset, and not necessarily the country that has "lost" it's CV.

In my view, a port capture, and successful "extraction" of a CV to safer waters is one of the most satisfying strategic elements of the game, possibly only topped by a deep raid to get it back! I've done both.

Many people had worked tonight, with good teamwork to achieve that, and to have it undone by Preon1 changing sides in order to steer our CV to his mates was pure "gaming".

I Hope HT implements the time limit on country changers operating CV's as a matter of urgency. I do agree with you that CV's should not be indefinatly hidden. I would suggest that a further refinement would be a 72 hour interval after capture, after which the host would award ownership of the CV to the current owner of the port. (or similar)

I note that you condone "espionage" but not Preons actions, frankly I think both are gaming, but changing sides to suicide a CV so your side "doesn't lose" is pure crap.
