Title: I find it Interesting
Post by: ShoBizzz on April 14, 2008, 12:16:56 PM
After seeing the Allies base rolling at a 14 to 3 killing and the Axis getting stomped. I asked about the fairness of it all. The response I received really blew my mind. The " They do it to us, Its our time now" Was not what I was looking for as an answer for  from the CO on the allies side.  But that is what I got. Not only was that said it was also brought to my attention from the oh so wonderful words of the CO in all caps " You don't have to stay here, you can switch" So I did to help even the sides.

Now I come in to the boards today to find that I have been removed from the Allies forum. This is fine, Be it hard feelings from all the Allies I put to the ground or was it the many kills of the top officers on the allied side prior to the axis getting reenforcements. I'll have to review the films and get a firm answer for it all.

I will remain Axis and Will remain killing the Allies.  :aok

You sound like a real wuss:) Why bother asking the CO about fairness?  His job is to win the battle not accomodating to your needs.  Did Jaegerschnitzel send you welcoming flowers and cakes?  Stay with the Taters!!

Dammit!
I told you guys to stop letting the allies have our 190s!


I dont really mind the gang banging. Usually, it goes one way and then the other, changing every couple days or so. Though, its been a while since the Axis has had a significant advantage. (In the time that Ive been on, at least).

Oak is just trying to get every one to work together.  It is kind of like herding cats some time so he get a little excited some times.   No big deal.

We are all still really new to this working together thingy.   It hard work  as the prez would say.   :aok

The whole reason that i have caps on is for all allies know who i am as a XO.  I do not yell at them, i encourage them to fight and push the axis back.  The CO agrees with my methods and most allies understand why we do it.  You have to understand that the leadership of the allies have finally got there acts together.
Your comments about the remarks i have made is respected.  That is you opinion.  However, my leadership for the allies have help boost the allies confidence.  
Laugh and criticized me all you want.  But what the CO and I have been doing is helping the allies.

I dunno *ShruG* Honestly my first reaction reading the text buffer that night was "Is oak a drunk or a kid? Or a drunk kid?" My second reaction was to get him to pick one objective and stick to it "WE NEED A50 MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" "IM THE XO AND FLATIRON SAID MIND ME!" "GET IT! GO! GO! NOW!" (Arlo makes a P47 strike mission, 2 others join and we're halfway to A50) "WE NEED V102! NOW! GO GET IT! MOVE!" Arlo says, "Geez, do you want A50 or Vwhatever?" "MIND ME! FLATIRON SAID IM THE BOSS!"

At that point Arlo became his own boss and just gave an occasional salute and a report. I figure with the odds, at the time, 12 Allies to 3 Axis, there were plenty of firemen to go around. No problem with oak "getting into his role" ... that's fine. I'm a pretend "LCDR" in "VF-17" .... but there comes a time when it's not so immersive afterall and get's a little silly. Not that I've never been silly ... but hey. ;)

p.s. [Edit] I think Oak's starting to realize it takes more that all caps "move outs" and base capture selection from what I've just read in some other threads and forums. I'll leave my comments but reserve the right to reassess.  :)

I think some are taking thier leadership a little to much. I dont get the whole capslock thing. Maybe its to get peoples attention and let them know who is in charge. I dont remember once having to type like that to get everyone coordinated. I dont think a side is in order untill someone says "where to now" then the C/O or X/O says "A## > A##" then seeing 90% or more of that side mass rolling like the axis did in the past wars.

People who understand and maybe want to help with whats going on will also likely be the ones perfectly capable of reading normal text and comprehending who is doing what what needs doing and who is in charge anyway, those who do not will unlikely be swayed by capslock shouting.

Sorry Oak but imo capslock shouting just hacks people off.

Maybe petition HT for a different colour AVA commanders may use? would be better solution.

I agree.

To me, caplocks = little newb general. I never follow that guy.
