FEK YOU Fariz...

Fariz acted like an A S S H O L E

he is an arrogant, pompous ass...

yet you still were an arrogant pompous ass.

So ya know what, that little arrogant man, behind the monitor in some crappy third world country

yet you still were an arrogant pompous ass.

Quite funny that I got fleet I was privated by someone "scorp" and guy said me thank for getting fleet from bodhi. He told me that bodhi got fleet from him, when he wanted to resupply the 24, and moved to 45 I was not online when it happened, so if you want to know it is true or not contact that guy. His nick starts with "scop" then has 4 numbers after it which I did not remembered.

Fariz - I dont particularly have a problem with you - alot of people I know do, however.  By the same token, I know a good number of people that think very highly of you.  Your tactical and strategic abilities are beyond question - but I am well aware of the attitude that Bodhi is upset by.

Its not about the CV, its not about the endless $14.95 a month posts, and its not even about "fun."  Its about the title of the thread - arrogance.  I could name quite a few people on the BBS and in the game (since some BBS members that post here 10 times a day in an attempt to cause trouble dont even play the game... interesting fact, no?) that display this charectaristic.  When another player has an "Im better than you, so diddly off" attitude, it tends to piss people off.  

In addition - lets not take the above quoted material posted by Bodhi out of context.  All your are showing here is that he is angry - because of YOUR actions.

Further - claiming that phantom flyers are private messaging you and thanking your for saving them from the endless dweebery of Bodhi is just poor form - I could just as easily state that Shane (sorry bud, hehe) sent me a private message which read "I want to make love to Fariz."

so for those, who didnt get it....

There are several ways to game the game to get better rank than you should have.

Just as an example, try to see if anyone has any field captures in attack mode, then ask yourself how that would be possible.

This was fixed a long time ago Hortlund. You can sort through the ranks now and see that no one has captures in attack mode.

As you mentioned in a previous reply to this thread, you can shoot your own hangar, but those rounds do not do any damage. So, though they improve one category (temporarily), in the end you will have at least two categories that suffer.

Feel free to 'game-the-game' and you will find that there are those that still outperform you.

I doubt that Fariz has resorted to any of the tricks you suggest.

Here's another idea for fixing the CV Command (denial) issue.

Restrict the commander to a 2 grid range of operations (the grid where the CV is presently positioned plus one additional grid.  If they fly beyond that area they automatically lose command.  As long as they stay within that area they can retain control over the CV.

After all, they have chosen to take control of this important asset - they should at least be required to stay near it and manage its operations - not fly off and go hunting.  They wanted command, they should also be flying cap over their own fleet!

Not only would this minimize this form of abuse but it would also increase the CV's survivability because the commander would be aware of incoming threats and could manuever to fleet to avoid destruction and otherwise directly intervene to repel the threat.

Many times I've seen a fleet under someone's command steering straight into an oncoming bomber wave.  Sometimes you have to resort to sending desperate calls of "move the fleet" to wake up the absentee commander.  This idea would make such calls unnecessary.

Also, what penalty in either ranking or points is associated with losing a fleet to enemy action?  None that I know of.   Should there be?  If there was the mindless wasting of fleets by either suicidal commanders or the occasional spy could be reduced.

Hows' all this sound?

There's an easy solution to this whole problem. RL TG commanders don't fly cap or attack or man PT boats or even ship guns. Command should be up for grabs as soon as the existing commander ups in a plane, boat, gun, or anything else. You want command? Sit there and command.  Pulling rank to take command should make you unable to up in anything else for 20 or 30 minutes. This will keep the LBPB's out of the way for a bit as well.

I've done the same before as well.

Bet you didn't get an email to your squad C.O. whining about loyalty, honor and other whackjob notions.

The situation is as simple as this: we, about 10 guys were moving CV 31 to field 45 for a field capture, this had been going on for the better part of a 1/2 hour.  The people involved were having fun, the reason I, and am sure most of you play the friggin game!!!  Well, then Fariz shows up, takes the CV away from us, and says HE is tired of having to lecture us about how we should play the game.  Well, you know Fariz, we all pay the same.  The CV was not in ANY danger, and you just arrogantly ruined the fun for 10 others even after you were nicely asked to turn the CV N again.  I am sorry, but that is just plain arrongance, and has no place here.  

I am truly disappointed that people have to be like this....

  Wow I have seen this very thing happen. A group of 1st graders playing in the sand box having a great time bothering no one. The 5th grade bully shows up says they are not using the shovels correctly and takes them away kicks sand in thier face and tells them theres gonna be trouble if he has to come back over and show them the right way to play again.


 I think that boot cv commander thing is a great idea just cause someone has a high rank should not give them the right to dictate to others how they should play the game. It would also help with the nananana We got your cv and we gonna hide it nananana.
  Get a grip show some respect for the other guy who spens his 15 duckets a month just like you do.  Damn it aint like the cv aint gonna respawn in 15 mins after its sunk anyways.

 Of coarse I wasent there and dont have both sides of the story but you get the idea. I am sure both sides are a little to blame.

For every action there is an equal & opposite reaction. Get great rank & you can control any TG anytime. Abuse that rank & piss people off. Piss people off & become less popular. Maybe popularity isnt everything, but its been a long time since I was on a Fariz mission.  I was looking forward to him following through on his announcment to leave Bish for rooks. Personaly Ill trade AKs for Fariz & his followers any day of the week.  

  Yes he does bring alot of knowledge & tactical intelligence to the game, but that should not give him the right to take a TG from 10 others using it. By the way its obvious from the responses he pissed off more than a few... If yer that much of an Ace, round up yer sheep, set course to another port & get yer own dam CV.

Fariz, I apologise for using a few uncouth remarks in regards to you after your actions and behavior ticked me off last night.  It is not an excuse, nor should I have called you names.  

The only thing I point out to is this, I never once during the radio discussion used a derogatory comment towards you.  The only derogatory comments I used were here after I was ticked over your comment about having to lecture us over CV usage.  

As far as I am concerned, the actions of yesterday by yourself were uncalled for.  It is obvious quite a few people in here feel the same way I do in regards to that, but guess what, a few feel you were right too.  So, other than being decent to one another in the future, there is not a damn thing we can do...

So... if I need to be pissed about actions like last night, I have a few choices,

whine here, and hope people change (doubtful)

go play somewhere else

or go fly Combat Flight Simulator 3
