Well.

Last night TheBug called me a whiner.  Sad thing is, he was probably right.

The incongruity of it all, though, cautions me to just keep my mouth shut for awhile.

I hear ya. I generally log back on after I get a disco - even if it's to say bye. Last night - saw no point. ;)

Oh well. Maybe I'll try ... once again ... to promote nightly missions in the CT. I think the RISK mentality comes from either MA habits or boredom.:cool:

When its 25-28 vs 8-10 (which is was most of the night) and you're getting gangbanged and vulched you're allowed to do a little whining IMO. Right after you left Oldman, I pointed out to Bug that its really easy to call someone a whiner when you are on the 30 side of a 30 v 10. To his great credit, he (and regretably he alone) promptly switched to axis so Bug gets a big from me.

I know some squads are allied, but ask yourself this, is it fun gangnbanging and vulching with 3-1 odds? Or is it more fun to fight a close battle where great effort and teamwork carries the day not a horde?

As I told Bug, what I do is politely ask that some players switch to even things up a bit. If some do thats great, if they dont, oh well just keep fighting.

Id rather not say because I think they had a new squad night on sunday, possibly because of my request earlier in the week to spread out the allied squad nights so there arent 3-5 allied squads running on the same night.

It was the non-squad allied guys that I'm really dissapointed in, and there were quite a few. If most, not even all, the non-squad aligned guys had switched to axis it would have been much more even, more like normal in the 20-22 vs 15-17 range which is just fine IMO. For some reason last night there was blood in the water and a feeding frenzy comenced and it stayed 25-28 to 8-10 most the night.

Of course .. the odds are ... pretty darn slim.

If it works, though, I'll use the same tactic to get the SCW planeset modeled and a server dedicated.
