There should be two different time limits for each orange and blue arenas.
-
Why?
Now if you said keep a small map in one arena and a large map in the other, I would have agreed with you.
-
Larry,
I may with you but you need to explain your reasoning.

What I'm saying is when I change countries in orange then go to blue I shouldn't have to wait to change countries in that arena.
Earlier tonight I log on to orange as a rook. I don't see any fights going on so I go bish. Once there all I see is a horde of friendly attacking a base. So I go check out the blue arena. In there I find the numbers B-27, K-10, R-26. Both bish and rook have ENYs at 24. I see a few nit bases flashing so I type .country 2 and get "You can not change countries for another 47 minutes."

Makes sense to me, that should be changed.

I agree , it's counter productive to have the time limit from one arena stand in the other. :aok

That is a good idea!
More often than not, you'll join the low numbered team in one arena and when you move to the other they have the most numbers. I guess it is the lemmings following the path of least resistance...
-
We were just griping about this twenty minutes ago. Would like to see it done.
-
Makes perfect sense to me. I've often been caught on the high country when it gets dark in my original arena and I switch to the other. I'd rather just be able to switch arenas then to the low country immediately.
-
I can see all the witty-comment makers stepping away forlornly...Great idea. :aok
Zazen, where have you been? I never see your Typhoon in the arena anymore.
-
I say increase the time limit per Arena.
-
I agree with the original idea. I for one switch sides to fly with people I know. If, say, Xtrepid signs off 15min after I switch, I will switch arenas and fly with (+) on knight; however I am stuck rook for 45mins.
-

BARF. Horrible idea for all the reasons stated in the other thread. Don't hijack someones unrelated thread.
-

ABSALUTLY NOT, OH I agree with the OP :aok
-
Agreed, the limits from the previous arena should not extend into a completely different battle-ground.
-
There should be two different time limits for each orange and blue arenas.
:aok
-
I like this idea, ive found myself in the same situations that larry described.
I say increase the time limit per Arena.
:huh Shoud be decreased to 30min at most.
-

NO

It's not a hijack if your talking about the same EXACT topic. You're just pissy because he happens to disagree with you. This isn't North Korea, people are entitled to think different then you.

Unrelated................ Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

Pick a country and stay with it. If you so desire to hop from one country to the next, do so at tour reset time.
There is always a "fight" going on somewhere. Go find it.
To hop from one country to the next earns you a title probably not well received.
-

Not always. Especially when you fly at non-peak times with low player numbers, there are often big inbalances and very one-sided fights. Sometimes 2 countries dogpile on the 3rd one... and i'm not keen on being one of 12 greens chasing that poor lone red one ;)
I'm looking for interesting battles - I like to defend and I prefer the red darbar being bigger than the green one. If those conditions aren't met, I consider a short time hop over the fence.
And If you fly in EW arena.. very often (or better: almost always) the numbers are distributed like 12-3-0. Switching is almost mandatory for me then. In that case the 1 hour limit is even too long for me, because very very often when I switch to a completely outnumbered (in EW that means: 0) side, the "horde" stops their attack immediately and go to attack that other country. And I'm stuck, they are capturing bases unopposed on the other side, no battle in the whole arena at all.
-
Would that necessitate splitting the scoring between the two LW arenas? Trying to remember if you could be on different countries in the EW/MW arenas before they had their scores split from the LWAs, and am coming up blank.
Just trying to figure out a reason it hasn't been done already . . .
-

Don't think so. Once time limit on switch was identical on all MA's, including EW & MW. Both those two arenas were excluded from this long before getting their own scoring.

say it. you really should just go ahead and say it. it'll be a good laugh for a lot of people.
here:
some dummies will title you a "spy"
I'm already laughing a bit.

I always go to the side with the lowest numbers. There may always be a "fight" going on but I for one don't like flying with a horde. Titling anyone a spy because they try to help the country with the disadvantage shows that you are a simple minded human being and I pity you for that.
There is nothing wrong with switching countries except in the eyes of the "war winners" who think everyone is out to get them.
-
Forget some, it'll be most, sadly. This is a really tough topic. I appreciate the idea of a "good fights" but at the same time, when all of the 68 Lightning Lancers are Knit.... Except one of them who is Bish...... Do you really expect anybody to think that single Bish 68 is looking for a good fight? No, me neither. (BTW.... This particular example happened Monday Night) Certainly sound more along the spy lines from here.

Some people want to have fun, it's their $14 after all. No, it doesn't sound like a spy to me. Sounds like someone got tired of flying with the side their squaddies were on.
-
I respect your opinion greatly sir....... But you can't be serious. :O

You do realize it's hypothetical? You don't actually know if he was doing the so called, "spying" or if he was having fun playing with someone else at the time. Of course you would know his attitude better since I've never met the individual nor have I tasted the MA atmosphere for over 3 years now.

like many have said, not all that switch sides are "spies" :lol
I switch sides all the time, not to help the side with the lower numbers,(sometimes I've seen the lower numbered side hourding) but to fight the hourd, see some here realize that the "win the war" is just lame a excuse for not being able to fly by your self and get some killz, or good fights, so those types need the hourd to feel like they are accomplishing something, personally I think its extremely pathetic. the friggin game is about the fight, wether it be on land,or in the air, or on the sea, its the fight that makes it worth it.
so when you see me as a friendly and then a red guy the next moment,chances are you are a hourdlett, and are about to get your prettythang sent back to the tower by the lone Hurri, taking on you and your hourdletts.

Going to call complete BS on this one, I have flown with the 68's many times and I dont beleive a word of this "spying" stuff, I also think some of the 68's wouldnt like this base less accusation.
However LLogan ive noticed many "Rolling thunder" people flying on all sides.
On that note
<----SPIES OMG RUN!!!!!

It is often the case that people who complain the loudest about a certain type of bad behavior are also the ones who engage in it quite often, of course with the "justification" that "everyone else is doing it." :lol
I remember one Christmas Eve most of LTAR switched to Knights to fight beside old friends. I somehow missed the memo and was still on Bish. It brought be great joy to attempt to lancstuka their Ostwinds. :)
It brought me greater joy listening to the spy accusations fly. :D
I think the only one I managed to get before being torn to pieces (at least 15 times) was Moil . . . but that's not the point. The point is, occasionally for various reasons a squad can find itself split, and it does not necessarily follow that "spying" is the reason.
The current time limit is sufficient to prevent someone from jumping from one country to another and back again for the sole reason of finding out some small tidbit of information they think they need.
But back on topic, since there does not seem to be a "technical" issue according to Lusche's response to my question, Larry's idea of being able to be on different countries in the two LWAs seems both reasonable and logical.

Zazen, where have you been? I never see your Typhoon in the arena anymore.
My wife and I just had our first baby, my son, Jacob Christian. He has some health problems, in fact, I just got home from the hospital a few hours ago, he had to have abdominal surgery.

Awful news sorry to hear that, hope all goes well.

Hey zazen, hang in there! I have a 7 month old boy and I can only imagine the difficulty of what you and your wife are going through. Your son will be in my thoughts.
