"Or are you too lazy to do anything to get something organized? How about using some of your efforts to have a weekly event of furballing? If it goes well, you might be able to make it nightly. Hell, if it goes real well, people will be furballing 24-7 in the DA where the furball island is..."

yes... I am too lazy to do those things.   Noble, manly furballers would turn their nose up (and rightly so) at anything "organized"  And rip.. I don't know if I suck at strat or not but how tough could it be?  After all, you do it.

"...I ain't a cherry picker, but if I quickly want to score a good number of kills, I take my FW to a furball. I keep the speed around 350 and egress when my altitude is around 100 feet. Climb to 3-5k, and turn back...The great number of enemy planes gives me lots to shoot at. Them being occupied with fighting others give me easy shots..."

Sounds like "cherry picking" to me.  Real furballers will stick around and fight.   :)

Oh yeah, keep those good valid reasons for no furball island coming boys.  In between the insults of course....hehe.

Well at least we know where you are coming from lazs.

I won't say anything about your work habits, as I don't know you. However, I will say that those that want things in life either work hard for them or live with what they have and cry that society is against them while casting insults at those that have more than they do.

"Profiling" can be a bad thing, because some people get classified wrong. Unfortunately, you insist on being seen as a stand-offish individual with no real desire to cooperate with anyone.

Apparently, you missed the day of school where they discussed diplomacy and debating. Too bad, as your constant slurry of insults and unbending opinions just fades further into the white snow of useless static that people learn filter out.

I would say my usual closing of, "Wing up, Get kills, Be happy," but I doubt you will ever be happy.

actually... leaving out those on medication... I am one of the "happier" people around.   Honest.. And yes... my report card came back with "____ does not work and play well with others"   I believe this game is perfect for people of my ilk.

I believe that if most people wanted oranization and hard work they wolda stayed at work and made the overtime instesad of paying out good money.

You can't furball in the DA because it's got KS enabled.

You can see the difference KS makes to the DA every wednesday night.

PLEASE disable KS in the DA; maybe we can get some use out of it.

Yeah, just disable KS in the DA, rename it, "Furball Island / Dueling Arena", and we will HAVE a Furball Island.  Presto.

No, that wouldn't work, in my opinion.  What is part of the reason that nobody goes to the HA?  Because nothing there matters.  You can furball to your hearts content, but you don't get a "score" to see how well you are doing.  I think wishing for a "furball island" in the Main is a very valid wish.  I also don't think it would siphon off all that many people from the "main" MA.  People would go there when it was IMPOSSIBLE to find a fight otherwise (i.e. bombers have porked all of your first and second line fields, your country is outnumbered 4 to 1 and both other countries are coming in huge waves).  In either of those situations I may very well take off from "furball island" and go looking for some "fun fights".  Lazs is very right about a few things.  His delivery rather kills his reputation, but that doesn't diminish the validity of the points, in my opinion.  

The MA gets downright BORING sometimes, but going to the DA to furball really isnt a valid alternative.  A.  There usually isn't anyone there, and B. I am some kind of "score potato" and I wouldn't want to "waste" the time I am already wasting playing this game to not even get a reward of perk points or score that is valid in the MA.  

I also think that getting new maps would help out some, I do get sort of bored with the old ones.  Anyways, thats my 2 cents.

EDIT:  Actually, let me clear some of this up.  I've got no desire to fly in a situation where my country is attacking another country in huge waves, and is also being attacked in huge waves.  I've no desire to partake in a gangbang, either as the assraper or the assrapee.  In situations like that I would probably head to the "furball" island until things calmed down or evened up.

Furballing for Perk points.  Seems like a contradiction in terms....

Point is, we HAVE a furball island in the DA.  All it takes is one click of a mouse to enable killshooter, and it's in business.  No new terrains needed.  It can open tonight.  Not worth a try?

Come on...don't start splitting hairs like the Sky Accountants.     :)

oh... ok.  I'll give it a try.  Being a furballer tho i gotta wait till there's a couple hundred guys in it and I'm too lazy to "organize" anything and... furballers wouldn't get the message anyway...  I mean we don't really meet anywhere to discuss anything.

And another individual is trying to tell HTC and us how the game should be played  :rolleyes: I may be a complete idiot, but I'm pretty damn sure the MA offers everything everyone wants, maybe the damn problem is that some folks are trying to "turn off" other facets of the game because it gets in the way of their happiness. Puuuleeeeze, don't like it, go away, otherwise be happy with what you have and stop with the whaa whaa whaa *sniff*.

I agree acid.. you can't force people to fly your way.  I say give em the opportunities and let them decide.   If the fields were closer together and dar distingueshed bettween GV and AC it would not force anyone to fly any certain way it would not take anyuones opportunities away.  It would simply save a lot of wasted time for some while at the same time being less "gamey".

The furballs are already occuring Lazs, there is no need to put the fields closer together.

well deja yes they are but... let's assume that they could be better for those who like em if the fields were say 10% closer.   How would that hurt anyone?
