before you mouth off....THINK!.
I was privately messaged yesterday over the most handsomehunked subject ive ever seen anyone get angry for.I was accused of gangbanging and told to set stop knights from attacking rooks while they were on the back foot! I had to listen to abuse because some other player/customer decided what i was doing was not what he or other players wanted.
I made a mission, I chose a bandit free sector(happened to be only area with no enemy dar bar), set up a big raid and shouted and holared for 20 minutes to get people into it.It was fun, the strategy worked well and players ENJOYED IT! over 20 joined and when it successfully took one base players rearmed and rolled to the next base then the next.
I then get private messages saying im gangbanging and to stop the Knits ganging on rooks!??!! What a farce! Who am I to stop people attacking rooks?? I was warned that the 'next time im ganged' this player and his squad wont spare their attacks on the banged knits lol
Honestly! do i give a toejam? HELL NO.
Ive played AH for 2 years and ive had my fair share of low number ganged moments and I also didnt enjoy it but i SURE AS HELL dont go demanding 1 particular player to change whats going on! especially not in the way i was told i was ruining the MA by doing wha i did.lol
Well I think i made a fun mission, worked hard to drum up the interest, for ONCE got a good number in it, flew it to WIN not to balance someother guys lack of initiative and Guess what, OTHERS ENJOYED IT.
In future if anyone has something to say to me like this I want it on channel 1 where others can read the absurdity of what they are saying.
I was as it happens setting up a mission to a quiet bish sector at the time i got the absurd demands but i switched it back to rooks just to piss em off even more.WHO the hell do these people think they are?
:D
my point here though is remember people play this game how they like! some use strategy others want a quick fight.I logged in and set a mission to a quiet part of the map.Im not ALWAYS thinking of the overall game in terms of who needs attacking or whether the mission will work, sometimes i do suicide missions for the fun of the fight, other times i want to do a good surprise attack etc.If you dont like the way others play I suggest yelling orders/insults at them is not going to be very productive, OR appreciated.

It WAS a fun mission.
Post the name!
-
Well, from a rook's point of view, the guy must be a numbnuts. I learned my lesson about gangbangin'. If I don't like it, change sides or log. Big fekin' deal. You and others had fun. Good.
<S>

Hazed-
I fought you last night in one of those raids. I died a couple killed a few, forgot about work for a while and had a blast. Did we lose to a reset? I don't know and don't care.
I have been harangued like that before, don't sweat it. We Rooks were sure laying it on the Knights the other night when the Knights were down, you owe the Rooks no consideration.
I've been playing Rooks exclusively, sorry to hear one of ours did this to ya.
BTW, fun fights last night near 58!
-
Great missions you ran last night Hazed <S>
-
Oh, and Hazed...I've been privated and called a Nazi before, ya get used to it ;)
-
<S> hazed great mission.
players have every right in the world to disagree with your actions, but no right to tell us how and where to enjoy a game we pay for. Wuss doesnt like to be gangbanged then fly somewhere else! Simple as that.
-
But Rip. I meant it in a nice way...

Oh, yeah! Best moment: popping a La7 that was trying to drag me thru the town ack. What a blast. It was also my first night in the P-51B. Fun plane.

Lol, I think we should start a MORON OF THE WEEK award. I nominate those 2 that priv messaged you for the next 2 month's prize. :D
-
I 2nd that, Tac.
I guess every country, wether virtual or real, has its share of idiots.
One thing is the occasional rant on open channel (you know, been there, done that) but it's totally different to private message anyone. Shame on him.
Cheers,
Pepe

I saw the same thing on Ch1 last night 10 seconds before I squelched the crap. Someone whining about getting hit by 2 countries and "why weren't the Knights fighting on both fronts." Life's tough, get a helmet.

i agree. post the name damnit! ;)
did anybody else in the 58-52 area last night take a big hit to your FPS? i started getting a huge stutter when i got down to that area
-
I did on the first two sorties, logged off, rebooted, logged in again and everything was ok.
-
LOL Hazed, yes there are some complete and utter morons in the game. Funny how some fail to realize some basic facts. Things like:
1) Getting beat happens, both to player and to country
2) Every country is always fighting a two-sided war, even though it might look like it
3) Everyone plays to win, and destroying another country and getting a reset is a good thing for the attacking country, and is at the heart of the game
4) Whining just makes a guy look stupid
Maybe next time you should just send the moron a note and say "stop being a handsomehunk", then squelch him. :)

The few (and I mean few ) times I've gotten a nasty private message from someone I just beat I replied with a simple "lol" and squelched them. I'm sure they didn't know how to handle that or if anything my reply got them stoked even further. Either way they couldn't bother me anymore unless I let them :)
Now.
Where is that ubb .squelch option ??!!! ;)
Westy

Thanks, Westy. Went and opened the door for Roto again... ;)
-
Dweebs like that just crack me up and I enjoy nothing more than keep on doing it to piss them off. Reminds me of the whiners in Air Warrior that would get pissed off because I would fight and kill them my way and not the way they wanted me to fight.
Next time I'd check the roster, see if this little lamb is on and plan another mission, heck I'd even name the mission after the little lamb. Then I'd post his private whines to you on this message board so we all could get a good hearty laugh at the arse <VBG>
-
i love it when they private message some slop my way.
only makes me meaner ;)
-
Man Hazed, the more I re-read your post, the more it sounds just like the person who did it to me. I spent half an hour listening to drivel, when I should have squelched right away. You described his content to a "T". Bet we could compare scorecards and see similar results. :D
I was the Zeke twisting like crazy in that melee at 58 last night. I saw your 109 in the dirt (I think that was you, saw your name in the buffer). S! for coming down in the dirt with us lowly folk. :D

LOL, wasn't you Pongo, and if ya did, I *know* you meant it in a nice way :)

Let me add a little something.
Bring it on Knights! I've said this before and I'll say it again, the most fun I have in AH is fighting the knights. They like to get down & dirty in the weeds too. Not degrading anyone else here, just stating my opinion.
PS. I was in the 52-58 area lastnight as well. Great fights. FPS & connect was fine as usual for me.

I ran into him too...result not as good. :(

Personally I love it when another side arranges a mission. Theres nothing like the challenge of a flight of bombers and a few wings of fighters bearing down on your field. When a mission's set up i'm usually the first to jump in, but since not many people know of me, they hesitate to join my missions. I dont mind this, its fair enough.
Looks like i missed out last night(obviously, with the time diff), but when i did get on the knights had grabbed a lot of land. Off topic, i did one of those real embarrasing noob things and ploughed my P51 into the ground while trying to B&Z a niki. :(. I felt real stupid so i logged and went to bed. :D
-
Hazed, I vote you post the name and declare a good old fashioned Dweeb Hunt :D
-
Gavor-
You wouldn't have done that in the vicinity of 58, would you? I was in a Zero when I noticed a stang coming in from my high 4. I decided to let him commit. When it did, I pulled into an easy right climb. To my surprise he was already a fireball and plowed into the ground. Proximity kill. :)
Don't sweat that though, everyone does that once in a while.
-
Strange people is playing in Ah in latter times,and some idiots too! :D :D
-
hehe wooo what a resoponse :D
sorry guys im going to withhold the name this time because the person who gave me all this toejam used to fly for knits and i actually thought he was a 'good stick', now he seems to have that 'stick' stuck up his bellybutton :D
I just wanted him and others to consider FULLY what they are saying before they pester and annoy people who essentially are here to have fun and enjoy themselves.There is no 'political' knit / bish / rook considerations when it comes to where you want to attack is there? its a damn game of 3 way checkers not world war 3 :p
Glad im not alone in recieving this drivel though :) (er i think thats a good thing)

I was there and saw your responses.
Some people are very passionate about the flow of war in the MA. If one of these people see that even though the Rooks are down and both countries are pounding them without regard as to who is going to win the reset IE: Team A has 40 fields and are attacking Rooks who have 9 fields at the same time Team B is attacking Rooks but only have 20 fields of their own then you can hopefully see why a passionate person goes off. I'm not excusing or condoning the flak you got privately at all, I just wanted to bring some of the circumstances as I saw them to light.
-
Maybe, Mr.Lars, but the lunacy of one person being able to stop the mechinations of an entire country hellbent on getting that base is evident to any sane person. To further compound the insanity, the person issued a threat, adding even more incentive to do the opposite of his desires.
How to handle that if you are really mean? Relay the message content to open. Once the other two sides realize what is happening they will redouble their efforts to subdue the country.

Hehehe... an "I'm gonna get you sucka" may be a threat to some but to cooler heads it ain't no thang :D
