Blame Me and the RJO
« Reply #30 on: July 12, 2003, 05:09:19 PM »
I logged in with a few squaddies, you guys were moving so fast we couldnt get to the front before the front moved! I had started with a fuel porked c205 which i ran out of gas, then switched to hvy 51 which i flew around in for a long time due to the fact the intneded target fell just about as I got there. I saw grimm's recruitment notes so knew something was up, so gotta say wow, that was quite a display!

Nice work :D

Hmmm....intriguing thought there, BH.

Does anyone remember those "War Weekend" deals 7blue (from Germany) tried to get going at AW3? (The idea was a weekend-long event with free-style competition amongst the countries, squads fighting for their flag in shifts around the clock, thus giving all time zones a chance to participate/contribute.)

Maybe an extended time period RJO could be a good idea for the next massive RJO, focusing on your idea of suppressing strat for an extended period of time? :)

I dunno if we =GHOSTS= were a "core-squad" or not, but we all had a GREAT time during the RJO.  We got orders from somewhere and followed through as best we could.

It was a great night; absolutely amazing to see an entire country work together like that.  

Thanks, Grimm & all Rooks.  :D

:) :) :) :) :) :)

  Im short on long phrases but to see all the real thoughts come out here is really cool .

 Why play if your not having fun ?
 Does your side ever win ?
 Can you lose without feeling beat up ?
 Can you accept losing a reset ?
 Is there something wrong with team play ?
 Do you ever win ?
 Is it OK if someone else wins ?

 To bad for thoes that cant see that all we do here is sit at a computer and pretend to kill each other and when we die it hurts so bad the FUN is gone and you even pay for it.

 No mater what side wins a reset it because an effort was put forth  and if it works its real sweet .

 I Salute all AH players that like FUN the rest of the winers , well you can take a hike .

 

 I for one thougt the RJO was a blast and am waiting for the next reset no mater who gets it and will say my money was well spent and if ya dont like it stop playing . I dont think you will find a better game around so lets all have FUN .

     ENOUGH SAID

WTG Grimm sounds like your boys did a great job, shame that a thread that was started to celebrate a nice bit of teamwork ends up with Lazs once again entering and name calling.

I was actually hoping Lazs would join in the conversation.   I do respect his opinions on things,  sometimes we are even in agreement.   Not on everything mind you, but some topics.  He just likes to ruffle things up a bit.   I am sad he didnt get to see this happen first hand.

Thanks Revin for the good words,  and to everyone for the compliments.  It really was a lot of fun for us to pull such a big strat strike off.

Lemme see...lives on Left coast, speaks of "hive mentality" are you a left wing, liberal, tree hugging, bedwetter?  Sounds like it.  You are prolly one of those suffering from ADD and need yer drugs (Riddelin) to pay attention.  sheesh!  :rolleyes:

Looks, too, like yer home schooled and have no people skills!  
Sometimes a group meeting or event has a good effect on folks.  They need leadership, they need a sense of purpose, and of worth.  Being an individual is the best thing we can be, but we can all be stronger and better, sometimes, if we gather as a group.  The hive mentality has worked for ants and bees longer than we humans have existed.  So your analogy to insects IS correct.  

Maybe,  in time,  you might try flying with a squad just to see how they work.  You don't have to join, but be a part of their OPS and see how they think.  It's easy to be a solo pilot, why not try being part of a team.  

The Cutthroats fly our Squad nite WED 10:00 EST.  We usually have small numbers, 6-8, but we plan a mission, or just defend.  
Most OPs for us are AD HOC and we still have fun as a group.  We are part of RJO but a very small part, or not at all.  We cant muster enough pilots some nights to count for much, but we have fun together, whether it is alone or as a few wingmen, or full strength.  We fly ROOKS totally.  Yer welcome to join us, and see.

You wonder what your opponents thought?

Im a Knight and I didn't think anything of it.  Normal operating procedure.  When a Knight you get used to operating with your back against the wall.

Nice job though with good teamwork.

ka ka ka ken... I live in Northern California..  we don't even stutter here.   You might be surprised Ca. is a big state.  Charleton Heston was the best president we ever had.

so you are proud to be an insect?  You get your identity from being part of the hive?  Must be an AW guy huh?  (not that there's anything wrong with that).

grimm... I wasn't on but what was different?  The game lately has been the large timid squads planning milkruns with late war planes.   When it happens enough then people will either live with it or leave.   It is VERY predictable.  If yu would have asked me before the raid if it would have worked I would have had not trouble in predicting the outcome.   What yu guys did was predictable.  I don't enjoy predictable especially if it involves boring gameplay.

The only thing worthy was that you planned, coordinated and executed a simultaneous strat attack on a whole country.  That is pretty impressive to get the timing down to whack out all the cities, factories and the HQ within a short amount of time.   Definite for that, in all seriousness.  :)

After that, bullethead admits it was nothing more than a zerg rush.  The bigger hamster turns the wheel faster than the smaller one in AH.  Plain and simple.

Had the Rooks pulled off the simultaneous attack and then proceeded to pummel the bish (or even bish and knights) with equal or even fewer numbers, then I would have been really impressed.  Seriously, was the outcome ever in question?  That's Lazs' point, and I'm surprised some fail to see it, or choose not to.  You double the numbers for a country, and they'll win the reset.  Just like the fight is easier in a 109G-10 than a 109E-4.

Lazs is just upset because he didn't have enough gas to get his FM2 to the front lines.

Grimm-

You and the rooks did a great job in strategic planning an execution. I had alot of fun, though at times it was frustrating, but mostly, it was blood pumping action.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how you pulled off such a monumental task, and I only wish the next time you pull this, the Knights and Bish have equal numbers to really give you a run for your money.

Any chance we can get Rip to come out of retirement and plan a KJO night for the next RJO?
