I never like it when it is late or early and people up 262s to hunt the easy kills. We owned most of mindanao early this morning and the 262s were buzzing all over trying to kill the buffs hitting knight HQ and strat. Not a good idea when we own the 163 field. It was a great time for cv battles and bombing and yes even hair-raising fights. The only resistance we met was misdirected.

You guys have it all wrong. Three problems with that screen shot:

1.) An Me163 is being used against an Me262. Interceptors should not be used as fighters; it wasn't done in WWII, so he's obviously some kind of game the game dweeb.

2.) He's a game the game dweeb killing a knight, which makes it that much worse.

3.) Knights are in Death Corner again. That makes three times in a row I've seen that map and Knights were in the same place. When I saw Pizza today Knights were in the same place we were last time. Either every map is rotating through three times a day, we're pushing the limits of probability, or countries are not rotating around the maps as the maps rotate.

Oh, 4.) I can't hit SQUAT in a 163, so nobody else should be able to, either

Sheesh. A week of kinder, gentler BBS and all of a sudden everyone forgets how to whine

You're no fun.

Seriously, though, what's the deal with relative positions on the map being static all of a sudden?

It is my understanding that how you finish in previous map determines your country position in next. I have not seen the static positioning you are describing from the Rook perspective.

It could be a hallucination, as fast as the maps have been resetting. Still, the last three times I've played on Mindnao Knights have been in the south. If GPreddy was assassinating a knight 262 defending the knight HQ with a squid in the lake we were in the south then, too.

Seems odd.

At 45 bucks a fifth, I'd hardly call that being a "cheap skate"

p.s. for those of you who may not know what I'm talkin 'bout, see HT's "Bribe" Links.

well that settles it since the last version the squid is PORKED if a single 262 can take it out without dying either the squid is using its touch (qquit literaly) or someone PORKED IT...hehehehehe had to get that in

I've seen it often enough. It is usually the result of the arena being reset at some point. I have seen countries rotate completely around a map in less than one day.
