After all the posts by various Knits about numbers causing thier repeated resets, I've gotta speak up and point out my observations.
Pongo, Hamish, myself and a very few other Knits were trying to stem the southern advance up our flank by the Bishes early on tonight, while the majority of Knits furballed at A5, when I pointed out to the Knit horde that the Bishes were sweeping us under, I got smartass remarks from a good share of Knits.
I then repeated my concerns that we were being slowly but surely being liquidated, that the Bishes were going for the reset, I again had bonehead Knits arguing that they wanted to keep fighting at A5. (a single base that was on the other side of the map from our home island surrounded by Rooks & Bishes!)
A5 had zero tactical/strategical advantage or value, it merely served to keep Knits busy furballing and away from defending fields, which allowed the Bishes to take base after base.
The Bishes outnumbered both Rooks and Knits yesterday, but Knits, ya gotta pick the fights that will stop em, and it seems all Knits wanna do is furball, which is just fine if your not losing fields doing it.
It's my opinion that the Knits just want an excuse for why they are being reset over and over again and are using country numbers as a handy one, I also believe that the Knits neither want nor need the help of THE ASSASSINS.
So to offset the huge number of Bishes, I'm recommending to HBlair and the rest of the squad that THE ASSASSINS go back to Rooks, leaving the Knits to furball.
THE ASSASSINS went Knit to try to balance the country numbers, seems to me we can do the same as Rook against Bishes just as easy.
There I've vented and feel better, my first true blue whine :(
-
I wouldn't consider this a whine and I do agree with you to some exten.
However, saying that "all" knights furrball is kind of "bad". Personally, I am not very interestead in taking fields but there are many who are and it's more or less a mather of what time a day you enter there arena.
At some times most players furrball, at some times everybody is attacking one field and sometimes we're split up.
Hopefully (soon) you'll see how good we really are when we organize :)
-
Man you're ugly when you whine! ...and when you don't whine... :D
SOB

Hey, that kind of "ignorance" is common among all countries :D furballing around while the more strategically important base gets pooped.. I mean, who hasn't experienced that?
There is DISTINCT numbers increase among the Bishes, and few people have even predicted it.. since some squads announced moving to Bish last tour, and as it turns out, almost all the Japanese squads with big numbers have also moved to Bish this tour, too.
They created sort of a GIANT unison of JP squads in operations. I feel that when I get online, since I live in Korea, when I get free time to play AH coincides with the time JP guys come on line.
So the sum of it all.. when it's day in the west, the squads with huge numbers dwarf Knit and Rooks(like the "DMD squad..
:eek :), and when the sun comes up in the east, the united Japanese squads rule the skies..
It's a numbers game. Actually, all war is.
I have to say SOME unbalance of numbers is not quite the same as ABSOLUTE unbalance of numbers. This kind of thing can't quite be adjusted in any sort of way since we all pay our 30 bucks to play in AH, and we all have a choice to which country we'd like to go.
I just hope next tour, this turn of fate shifts over.. :(

S!
I was online during this A5-incident and tried to do my best down south.One 109/190 does not stope the hordes respawning faster than I cn put more bullets into them.Whels1 put it well by saying:"Don't expect any help." when I asked for it when Bishes began their invasion.But I understand that A5 also tied some of the troops they could have used against us down south.After fighting some desperate(and victorious) battles I moved up north to defend HQ against the buffs.Again my 109 showed the buffers why not enter our airspace ;)Then unfortunately clock was 03:00am and had to get up at 06:30... ;)
But as Knights in general..when we organize the enemy stands no chance.Attacks are swift,well planned and furious.Base after base fell when Ripsnort made a few missions.1hr15min later and 5 bases :D And we didn't have overwhelming numbers during the attacks...
-
it was pretty crazy defending the home island but there were definitley lotsa targets! :D
-
Wow... that many? Makes me feel better now. We rooks have been doing rather well against superior numbers.
-
"when I pointed out to the Knit horde that the Bishes were sweeping us under, I got smartass remarks from a good share of Knits."
I think you got smart bellybutton remarks after playing General on the Knit country channel, telling the Knits what, where and how they should be doing things. That was followed up with at leat a half hour of berating them for not listening to you while also tossing in comments on how unworhty they were to have had your squad moved over to help in 'the war' and how they were going back to Rook/Bishop or whatever.

Heavily outnumbered again Sat. morning, Knits took no less than 6 fields (including Port and CV) in 1.5 hours..then I logged off, came back up for a short one 2 hours later and we'd lost some fields....
Its lack of Generals in Knitland as much as it is the 2 to 1 odds, going on 7 weeks now, that is almost equally to blame...i.e. it takes Bish 2 to 1 odds to beat us. :)
-
I've been kinda annoyed by bishee numbers lately too, sik of being vulched repeatedly at every field I try to defend, usually by myself :).
And those who say its not numbers, well thats just grubbish!
Germans were vastly outnumbered on the Eastern front during the big one, but they made up for that to some extent by having superior equipment and tactics. Obviously this is not the case in AH, we all have access to the same platforms.
However, eventually attrition through numbers wore the Germans down and they lost which is what happens to knits and rooks on AH at the moment.
Just hope some of the more established and reasonable squads on bish will address this issue next tour :) chow :)

Junior Member?!!!!!! I'm 72 dammit :D

I logged on and looked out the window of tower five just as comments were made and I saw 3 players defending think it was 2 GV's and 1 AC. Knowing full well that would NOT have made one bit of difference in the final outcome last night I couldn't help but laugh when they were asked to help defend in the west their response was NEVER! heheh hope ya had fun at A5 guys. I know I had a blast last night shootin down those bishrooks.
FUN! win or lose having fun is what makes the game worth while. :)

No, really.
You must be kidding.
Most of the smart bellybutton comments came from me, for good reason. I think you're lame.
I've paid my money, I can play the game any way I like. I've got as much rank as you do. Last night, I felt like mindless furballing - and getting my bellybutton handed to me. I'm OK with that, you see, because it's just a game.
You, however, are bothered with that behavior. It is anathema to you. You must win, because of some freak delusion that the "war" in the MA matters. It doesn't. Not a bit. I know it, but you don't beleve it.
They had a 6-1 advantage last night, a reset was inevitable. But so what, who cares ? What do we lose, points, or something ? I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but jeez, relax. It's just a freaking game.
Besides, everyone knows that a5 is the best base in the MA. ;-)

Well I wasn't online so I didn't hear what was going on, but I am sorry to see the Assasins moving away. I know when I am on my squad members of the MAW mostly focus on strat bases & base captures so to categorize all knights that way is a little unfair.
I re-read the post & u didn't say all, but majority...sorry for the misquote.

Milenko's been playing this game for a long time and I think he's entitled to lose it occassionally. This is the first time I've heard of him be the least bit un-nerved in the arena. He's generally a very considerate player, and wouldn't do anything to intentionally rile someone.
As far as the situation with the knights goes, I am a bit surprised myself at the disorganization that goes on most nights. True, there are some quality guys there, but there are also many more who don't care.
As far as the rotating thingie, that'll be up to the squaddies at the end of the tour. Rotating is not a monthly thing with us, but seeings how I might be COing a 1 man squad if we don't do something to alleviate this knightland fiasco, you gotta do what you gotta do. ;)
-
S!
I don't like furballing or to be vulched,so I stay away from fields under enemy CAP.I usually take off farther away and get alt/speed.Then engage a few times and disengage.
Defending against endless hordes is frustrating for me.I fly to survive(at least try) and don't mind if there are no kills during the mission.Patrols can be fun from time to time.But when more of Lentolaivue 34 is online,I get into some furballing.We can use RW/wingie tactics,thus increasing survivability that way.
Knights are a odd group.It's just the day which determines how we perform.Lately we have been underdogs,but still there are moments of glory ;)Thanx of them goes to good mission planners like Ripsnort(and many more).After all..this is just a game and we play it as we want.
-
Man, there are days I love to just get up and furball, nothing else...then there are days I love to just tank...nothing else...then there are days I love to capture fields, nothing else....Toads siggy says it best!

There were some great fights to be had in the south.
In fact a "Target Rich Enviroment" woulda been apt.

Milnko! <S!> Buddy!
It usually ain't any better in bishland; believe me.
Truth be told; I'd be happier if the Assasins went back to rookland... I can't help but shudder to think what's happening to yer pure genetic Assasin (tm) traits while yer mixed up with those muddleheaded knits. Besides; I consider yah all honorable opponents... and rooks are better than those damn digusting pedestrian knits any day. Always a shock to kill an Assasin inna knit chute.
As fer the 'war' last night; we kept 6-8 bish hittin the rooks, keepin them on the defensive up on their home island fer about 4 hours while Cit and some others rolled up knitland in the south. Once yer city was subdued and yer HQ's were wrecked leavin yah all blind we flanked yah again with a grab on P32 and A35.
As fer the game plan.. it was all Assasin.. having been pinned under just this blanket engineered by yer rook cohorts in the past; we figured we'd give it a go on the Knits. Shame yah got trapped in the siege!
You'll note there was virtually NO rook vs knit activity.. Bish fought an agressive 2 front action the entire evening.
<S!>
-
hehe... yah the Rooks and the knitwits were furballing it at A4/A1/A5 - that situation was a stalemate.
So a few of us, by that I mean about 12 to 15 launched, from 11 and took 7, 8, 27 all with in 40 minutes.
Wham! Bam! Thank you, ma'am!
30 started to get defended.
Some of us diverted to defending 52, 52 was taken by the rooks, so we took 53 instead, then took 52 back.
By this time our squad was logging on, and another squad had organized a high altitude strike on 30 and 29.
20 minutes later 30 was green and 29 was porked.
60 fell, then 63, the move was on to 61 but it got stopped and the rooks started to reversen the bishes.
Then my squad got the mission plan and we hit the Knitwit City, then 34 and finally HQ.
Was no conspirarcy - we just decided to go for the win - while you knitwits were furballing at A5/A4.

Must have been a very tough battle considering you only had almost 3 times the numbers as the knights. A big <S> to ya for such a hard faught valient effort. You guys are good. :)

*sigh*
BigGun; I don't whine when it's our turn in the bucket.. never have. I may thump the textbox to the bishes occasionaly to get 'em headed in the right direction when I think they need it; but I tend to remain pragmatic about how unfair the MA war game is.
Fact is, right now the numbers have gone to bish because a fair number of rooks and kniggits decided they didn't wanna fly for the 'losing' side.
Propaganda. And it sucks. Nothin I can do about that perception. Being a bish, I KNOW 'winning' is transitory... a fleeting abberation.
So; while we're number fat, look fer me to be flying aginst the county that ain't engaged with the majority of the bish. Last few nights, that's been the rooks. I try like hell to make sure we got a two front war goin, and suffer plenty of annoyed howls from bish who think we should all just pound the knits inta the toilet.. and I have not been present at one reset in about 7 tours.
So.. to all you low-life car-bombin knits now buizly doing the 'tidy bowl' imitation with yer fleets and fields, look on the bright side. One day you will again 'have the numbers' and you can lay about deciding "..hit HQ, the city, or just lay waste to their fleets?" once again.
*yawn* Enuff of this. Back to the real fun.
-
Assassins gonna turn and run ? Whatever
-
Ok, later Assassins.
Run like the coward dogs you are, you mercenaries!
And be prepared to meet death and flames every time you climb into yer cockpit, for kniggits are a vengeaful bunch (well, us oldtimers, anyhow).
Your call, you scum sucking bottomfeeding social loafers!

Who in their right mind wants to fly for the whiny country? :D

Hey... why dont we all move to bishes. Then if some newbies accidentally start their careers in Knits or Rooks we can have REAL fun ... wham bam tnx Ma'am gangbang... and how proud we can then be... :cool:

Today I was ashamed of rookies, 20 rooks, 32 bish, 12 knits, both bish n rooks were hitting knits, for knits thats like 5 to 1 odds. I logged, don't want to be associated with slaughter like that. Sure I could've stayed and vulched but theres no skill in that is there

30 posts gets you the coveted "member" status, junior. And if you didn't want to vulch the Knits, why didn't you just start attacking Bishop fields?

Because its much easier to post a whine about it SOB....geez, you been playing here for how long?!?

Milinko's origina post is right on the money... it's not the numbers it's the team work - the knitwits just don't have their act together right now.
In any PvP game there will be times when the
sides are not balanced.
The statements that Bish has had 3 times the numbers for 3 months is an exageration - it varies from week to week.
Yes, for the past 2 to 3 weeks Bish have had an large number online at certain times, especially on Sundays - that's when several squads have their squad nights - and they are usually fighting on two fronts.
Prior to this, the Rooks were kicking butt and resetting the Bishes.
A lot of the fast base captures are being done by squads that are executing well co-ordinated missions.
A few pilots with a better plan and better team work can easily thrawt the plans of many.
The butt kicking goes around.

hiya all:
Ok, the Assassins are going back to Rookland.
they can now spend months telling us all how great they are do to the fact they came to help the poor Knights.
Now once they are back in Rookland, who will they attack. the Knights with limited numbers and a very easy kill, or the Bishop with the high numbers and a tough appoinet. well time will tell.
Hangtime, no, I have never seen you whine about numbers. But at the same time, I do not beleive Biguns thread was a whine either.
But it sure seems like the Rooks and the Bishops sure like to attack anybody who flies for the Knights no matter what they say, good or bad.
Well the respect I have for some of the Rook pilots and some of the Bish pilots is slowly going away as I read everyday the post they place. nothing but attacks on the people that fly for the Knights. and the attacks are not even close to been funny or placed as a joke.
Well I hope to be back in the MA within the next month, ( hope been the key word there) and when I do return, I will be flying as a Knight, as I do know what loyalty is. and I won't give a rats bellybutton what the numbers are.
and Milnko, after you whined and cried about the Knights having no organization, and how you are now taking your ball, I mean your squad and going home, I mean back to the Rooks, do us poor pathetic Knights a favour,
don't let the door hit you in the bellybutton when you leave.

Originally, THE ASSASSINS started out as Bishops in Beta, from there we went Knit to find a fight 'cuz Bishes had the numbers, after a bit the Knits had the numbers so we went Rook, and now that the Knits are in the numbers hole again the squad voted to go Knit in an attempt to balance numbers, as you can see this is nothing new for the squad.
Now as much as I'd like to take sole credit for returning to Rooks at the end of this tour, the fact is the whole squad voted to, as they have seen similar behavior as what I am complaining about. (i.e. lack of 6 calls, lack of cooperation, mindless furballing, etc.) so don't lay that "I'm taking my toys and going home"crap on my doorstep.
On a personal note, I don't usually complain about the game...it is what it is, and I live with that.
And I'm not the type to jump on the country or general channel or even this forum to whine about the numbers, or the warps, or the CHOG, or the NIKI, or the maps, as I realize that they just are what they are and I live with it, that is my normal rule.
Those that know me have seen how I act online trying to obey that rule, I honest try to throw a Salute after every encounter, whether I win or lose, and I also attempt to send back a greeting every time I get one, or see one in the buffer to everyone, in other words I try to be a contributing memeber of the community.
But for some reason that other night struck me as so insanely asinine that the MAJORITY of Knits wanted to furball over a field in the middle of enemy territory, surrounded by cons, while the Bishes struck from the south and captured 4 bases in about 1/2 an hour that I guess I just kinda lost it...and for that I apologize to the community, I've never acted that way before, and will attempt never to again.
I also think that in part my statements and frustration occurred after being repeatedly fragged while trying to defend those bases.
It was about then that I reached the conclusion that I just didn't want to part of the Knit crew, as this behavior appears to be the norm, not the exception.
Let me be explict, I spend 30 hard earned dollars a month to have fun in this game, and if I want to switch to Rooks because it's there that I was having fun, then who the hell is anyone to say I'm disloyal, or a traitor, or an opportunist? I'm the only one paying my bill.
Mayhap my original post was outta line, again I apologize. Please note also that I refrained from responding to any personal attacks made in this thread, as this ain't important enough to me to git into a pissing contest over, it is a game to that I fully agree, and the object is to enjoy it, which I also fully intend to do.

Wolf,
You need to check your temper. We came over to the knits for the simple reason that it seemed like you were always in the bucket. The rooks and bishes would fight over the tatters of what little knit bases were left and it wasn't fun even for us to vulch. All of the Assassins enjoy even fights, and it was getting to be the same old stuff every night in the main.
So we packed up our bags and came to the underdog to try and help things out. Personally, I didn't want to leave. I've been a rook since the beginning of my AH playing time and I felt a sense of camraderie with my fellow countrymen. But hell, why not see if the same applies for the knits, right?
The few times I've had the luxury of getting online and flying (and when I do, it's usually in the off hours when the squad is not around) I've noticed fewer 6 calls, more squabbling, and more resentment on the knit side. I dont squeak about it, I just ignore it and fly by my lonesome and die a lot. But it's not fun being a knit - maybe it's the constant raping you guys receive, or the multitude of generals trying to lead even fewer privates. Either way, we're not crazy for not wanting to stay. We tried to help out, it didn't work, so we're going back to where we enjoy playing the game.
Respectfully,

Moose:
I read milnkos post three or four times, I read the hole thread three or four times.
I do not feel I reponded wrong. the Knights did not fly the way Milnko wanted them to so he wants his squad to leave. he wrote it and posted it, I responded to his post.
and yes Milnko, I know I have never read a post by you proir to this one that would be considered an attack on anybody. but you did write this one witch is an attack on every pilot that flies for the Knights. so yeah, I reponded to your post.
wolf37
-
Wolf,
There doesn't seem to be any issue of "flying the way he wants"...
The issue really seems to be that most of the knits don't really give a rats bellybutton about what you see here on the board. They don't care that they are getting pounded.
That's got to be frustrating to a squad that responded to cries for help only to find everyone a little too busy to give them a hand.

well.... I (and the BK's) go to whatever field is closest to a red field and has some activity that looks about even. If we are desperate we will fly long distance (most of the fields) to a field that has some activity but log early if that is the only option. I don't care and don't usually notice if the reds are those guys with the dildo icon or the horsey one.
I care if we have no radar but I wait a bit and if it doesn't come back up I log.
I wouldn't be a horsey guy because they are so outnumbered and being a martyr is not my style. I wouldn't be one of the dildo guys because fighting for scraps is boring.

No problem, definately not a whine. Sarcasam, yes! I have flown knights from when i started AH and will probably continue to do so. With numbers, without numbers, doesn't really matter.
-
Ironically, Moose, when JG2 went to rooks, the same thing you posted was said about the rooks, I guess its all ones own perception...
Personally, I have not been playing AH due to the imbalance, I know alot that are doing the same...I'm only logging in on squad night and Snap Shots until they fix the problem. Most have experienced being in the bucket for anywhere from a couple of days to a month, most accept it, alot like it (My K/D ratio is best when in the bucket!) however, no ones experienced it for 7, going on 8 weeks, as the Knits have. If they don't fix the problem, we'll see, there are other options out there besides AH.

Knights I don't know about you but I'm having a blast! Can you imagine what 3/4 of the bishrooks must be doing when they log on? They prolly hop in their favorite ride and just fly around aimlessly looking for a fight while the "good sticks" take advantage of the numbers getting in the kills. Since the low numbers we may have not been grabbing alot of land but I for one have been racking up some good kills. Heck sometimes it seems all you have to do is pull the trigger and you're gonna hit a bishrook because the arena is thick with'em.
Bring it on you silly bishrooks every one of you turds are natural born losers, lower than whale crap, dunnage, slag, you are all uglier than a bowl of a**holes and dumb'r than a bag of hammers!

awww, I was having fun flying with the ASSASSINS. It was good to fly with these guys instead of flying against. Personally, I wish that all squads rotated (including my own) because I'd like to fly with these people that shoot me down every once in awhile, and get shot down by the people that I fly with sometimes. I guess I get that in the special events, but not all of you fly in those! :) This past weekend was a good example. I got to fly with Toad and Creamo, and I got shot down by Ripsnort. In the Torpedo 8, I got to fly on AKHog's wing, and the previous day I had Citabria flying escort over us. <S!> all of you, whether I'm flying with you or against you!
On the other theme of this thread. The game costs $30/month to play. Don't begrudge anyone on how they want to play the game. They want to furball and die every 5 minutes, that's their choice. Don't berate over the country channel. I have nothing against people asking for help in defense or attack missions. I do have a problem with someone yelling at me (or someone else) because I'd rather do something else in the game on that day than participate in the strat portion of the game. It definitely won't make me come help them right then, and more than likely I won't help them the next time they ask if I remember they yelled at me some other time.

AKDejaVu:
I think most Knights do care when they are getting pounded. But as everybody knows, some pilots like to furball. and when you only have 30 or so pilots on line, you may get a lot that want to furball. but if you read Milnkos post, he stats that the Knights would not listen to him about the fields in the southWest corner and that the Bishops where going for the reset. Well maybe the Knights are just a little tried of the ongoing slaughter and really dont care any more. But the Assassins stated they where coming over to fly with the Knights for the tour, and Milnko says in his post that he is going to talk to the squad about moving back to the Rooks now.
Now this post was started on the 18th of the month, so after two and a half weeks, Milnko has decided his squad should go back to the Rooks. Why, is it because his squad can't help the Knights win the battles so better to leave then keep getting slaughtered. kinda hurts the old ego a bit when you are on the side that keeps loosing the wars.
Well AKDejaVu, Milnko should have just talk to his squad and then moved back to the Rooks, But he had to place his post blaming the Knights for the fact that the Assassins could not help a team with such small numbers. That the Knights just want to get pounded on and not put up any kind of a fight. just want to keep loosing and letting a team with three times the numbers to keep getting the resets. well its easy to put up a good fight and even take the fight to the other team when you have the pilots to do it, but not when you are so badly out numbered.
AKDevaVu, I am not looking to get into a scrap with you on this post, you and I find enough reasons to scrap on other topics or posts. Milnko placed this post and I responded to it. Milnko is whinning because he is not whinning any battles do to the numbers. and he wants to lay the blame all on the Knights, and as a Knight, I will say something about it.
Milnko, if you want to go back to the Rooks, go. But don't blame the Knights because it did not work out the way you and the rest of the Assassins thought it might. The Rooks have been in the bucket often enough to know that with out numbers, you are going to get slaughtered. and you wont find it easy to organize the few pilots that are on line.
Now as for SWulfe and SOB, you two can contuine to bum **** each other, at least that way the small children will be safe from a couple of child molesting perverts like you two.

Hey SOB! Sounds like Wolf is jealous!
Okay, I'll make a deal with you Wolf. The day you come back to AH, I'll not only care about your opinion but I'll hold you down while SOB slips you a banana up the poo chute.
You know the very odd thing? 2 months ago when I was Knight, I was going through the exact same f'in thing as Milenko and was just as irritated... And the Bish didn't outnumber them at the time either. I think it's just natural for the losers to go to the knights. :D

Hmmm.. don't recall this being a "start of the tour" thing. You may be confusing that with all the "rotating squads suck" threads that are going around. I do believe the Assassins responded to several calls for help in regards to the numbers situation and the resulting pounding that was occuring.
Aprox. a week after coming over, they find themselves being the only one even attempting to prevent the bish from taking the main island while 30 PILOT FLY FROM ONE BASE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Can't really say how I'd respond to that because I wasn't in Milnko's shoes. I do know that I was on at the time and was pretty damn amazed that the knits were willing to give up so much with so little of a fight. I couldn't help but think, at the time, that the knits were doing nothing to help themselves out of the hole... and it may just be a device of their own creation. "We're just going to get beat anyways.. so why bother."
Milnko's post definately seemed to be based on frustration from that night. But, from what I saw, it was right on the money. Its difficult to help those that are so unwilling to help themselves.

Wolf37, you sound like a little squeak. Much like a typical Knit.
There, I solved the numbers mystery.

when the bicuits maried with stones ?
must mised that :p

I logged in for a min to check what AH looks these days. When I watched roster I saw maybe 10 familiar names out of 30.
If playing isn't fun there's no reason to continue it anymore. Better option is find other game and check if it can fill your needs.
Some of Knights have quit already and some are thinking about it. You can joke about it but fact is HTC is only which suffers by losing customers and their dollars.

1. You are showing your ignorance here. please stop talking about something you weren't and aren't going to be anytime soon, a witness to.
2. You aren't a Knight. You aren't a Paying customer. Don't act like one. "game-country-pride" is great, but you don't rate it. COme back to AH, then talk to me about how we are "abusing" your country mates.
3. My apologies to the community in advance for the blistering response i am about to receive :D

Hamish!

I guess the proper thing to do would be not too respond..but what an idiot!!!
I know wolf & he has been around for a while..not sure why he can't play right now but he has a right to express his opinion just like everyone else. Maybe he isn't fortunate to have $30 a month or could be some other reason. These threads are full of people who aren't currently paying customers.
Maybe read & try to comprehend what he is trying to say rather than just disregard it cuz he isn't currently a paying customer & you won't come across as an ignorant idiot.

Hamish, kinda funny that you are saying anything at all, not been a paying customer and such.
AKDejaVu: there was/or is a post poir to the start of tour 17 that starts the Assassins are going to be flying Knights for the tour.
I think it was by hblair, but I could be wrong on that.
SOB: you say you where just having a little fun, I did not see it that way. I struck back.
SWulfe: I'll make a deal with you, when I come back to the MA I'll kick your ars all over the place. and if you don't want to wait that long, pick a time and date, I'll meet you in H2H.
BigGun: thanks for the back up, but maybe you better stay out of this one. I don't want you and the rest of the MAW squad to take any heat. thanks again.

What an ugly thing to say Creamo....

SWulfe, SOB, Creamo, and who ever else:
this post is not about you and never should have gotten about you and I. It is with Milnko I responded to. and it is Milnko that should be the one who responce to me and what ever I may say. Some how I don't think he needs your help. There fore, I will not responde to anybody else nor to those that have decided to jump in. So anything or everything I have said, I will retracked as my comments where to Milnko in responce to his post.
Milnko, you stated your point, I stated my point. Now I will leave it alone if you want it to just end. or if you want, we can take this private or to that AcesHigh chat room. I did not responde to your post so I could get into a fight with everybody else in here. I can do that as they place there own posts. Or we can wait till I'm back online and we can slug it out in the skies of the MA, or H2H if you wish. I will leave it up to you to decide.
As for anybody else, in this post I will no longer responde to you.

If you'd read all my posts, you'll see that I tried to give everyone toejam equally, while at the same time adding nothing productive or in any way related to the title of the thread. ;)
On a serious note, I've got no beef with you...I think ya just took my post a little too seriously.
