Title: 3 countries
Post by: Spyder on January 15, 2009, 06:27:23 PM
Why do we have 3 countries? I hate the idea of 3 countries because its always the knights that have the least amount of players, which gives the other two countries ENY. So can we just get rid of the knights?

Now before you start saying "dude if you don't like it switch countries", well first of all, you get flamed for it and called a "SPY" :noid And second of all, both bish and rooks have ENY, and the nits side... just sucks.

And to all you Knights out there that don't like this idea and are offended, it doesn't have to be the knights to be gone. It could just as well be the rooks, or the bishops. And why not rename both countries to create that "new" smell.

Okay, after thinking this over, there would still probably still be ENY troubles, so IDFK what to do, but something new needs to come!!!

I got to play most of the day today. Bish had a 10 eny and it never got higher and it only lasted at tops an hour. After that it all calmed down and no country had an ENY. Knits usualy have the least ammount of people but getting rid of the team would do nothing. Dont forget now if you took the knights away you need to go any make all new maps since every map is 3 teamed. Hitech also stated he has made games with 2,3,4 sides in the game and in his choice 3 teams is the best. They said it wont be changed awhile ago...its not going to be changed now.

What is this ENY you speak of?  We Knits know nothing of this!

(change countrys to one that isn't heavily outnumbering another and you won't have to "worry" about ENY)

 Its funny because about 2 years ago Knights had loads of ENY and numbers to match it . I'm sure that my esteemed colleges have said some things here that are very true its all in a cosmic event that revolves around our cartoon sun and the balance in the world will shift . This game is an ever changing arena of our little cartoon lives folks and change will occur .

Auto-balances itself better than any alternative. Have you considered this?

The flames are painful but not so bad. Any doctor in his right mind will prescribe you with vicodin or morphine once you mention flaming on an internet game. Once on those the ENY bish/rook-side and sucking knight-side will be solved.

I used to get a few spy comments when I first started switching but I don't recall hearing any for some time now.

Why do we have 3 countries? ...............

Because 2 countries won't work and 3 is better than 4. All have been done at one point or another and 3 gives the greatest possibility for "balanced" gameplay.

If you really want to try flying with just 2 sides....try the AvA.

You have me completely confused.

Are you saying, it is bad for the Knights when they have lower numbers because the other countries can not fly the better planes?

Or are you saying it is bad for the Knights when they have lower numbers, because perk planes cost the Knights less?

Or are you saying it is bad for the Knights when they have lower numbers, because the Knights earn more perk points?

Pardon me if I am missing something, but for the life of me I can not see anything is detrimental about the perk system to the country with the lowest numbers.

No. He is saying that with so few Knits....they should be discontinued.  :D

His problem is that he fails to understand the differences of 2 country, 3 country and 4 country system.

No matter who "wins the war" in the MA, we'll all be speaking the same language tomorrow we were yesterday.

Within those parameters, the MA game is often more fun on defense than offense. As long as things are not too lopsided, it gives you a target-rich environment. Nothing more boring than rolling bases with overwhelming numerical superiority.

I think what he is getting at is: because one side is <most of the time> getting ganged by a 15+ advantage by one country, and a 45+ advantage of by the other, why not just eliminate one of the countries and force people to just fly one side or the other...not three.  I think his main focus is the major side imbalances as the originating core of the problem...not so much the resulting consequential perk/ENY issue.  He might come back and clarify, but...




While you are in here Mr. HiTech, and also right on topic...for those of us who like flying knights...only because we like flying together and there actually are those who have loyalty to other players they have flown with for many years...please reconsider the side-evening idea that was brought up in the past. 

Mr. HiTech:  Please write it into the game where one side cannot get a 40 or 50 or even 100 player advantage over the other two.  Once any side gains a clear 40 or 50 player advantage in an arena, players wishing to enter that arena would have to pick one of the other sides as they enter.  As it is now, if you want to fly for the knights our of loyalty---you pretty much get slaughtered on any given evening CST in LW.


While you may not clearly understand what the original poster is asking for--he does bring up a valid point about the side imbalances over the last year, that have even been more grossly imbalanced here in the recent weeks.

The problem with having a 2 sided setup is there will ALWAYS be an imbalance. What happens if the wish is granted and the 15+ of one side joins the 45+ against the Knights... your stuck in the same boat, but there is no chance for a reprieve because you have combined the other two teams so they will NEVER fight against each other, only you.

 The side evening you suggest will back fire in much the same way. Your pretty strongly set to fight for the Knights. What happens when as it always does, things come around again and its the bishops that are out numbered by 50. You will willingly join a different team? Maybe, but I doubt it, as well as a bunch of others who are VERY country loyal. Then the crys of "I can't fly where I want to!" will be heard around the world.

Just reposted these a couple of days ago...

Just so everone knows,

Pyro and I have created a game with 4 countries.
Pyro and I have created a game with 2 countries
Pyro and I have created a game with 3 countries.

We think  3 works the best for unstrucksured game play.


HiTech

TT We are going to remain 3 sides in the main arena.
What 3 sides does for arena play.

1. It balances out 1 side having more players than the other.

2. It Spreds the fights out accross the arena. If you only have 2 sides you would see a lot more of everyone fighting in 1 spot.

3. It provides everone with more enemys to fight. If all 3 sides are = numbers you always have 2 enemys to fight for your sides 1.

4. It creates a more dynamic enviorment because who each country is attacking changes . As opposed to 2 sides where you are always attacking the same side.

5. Countryies devlope a personality over time. With 3 countries we end up with a more diverse flavor.

Let's see....forcing a resonalbly fair (50 is even far too many, but at least an example) 50 man advantage...where one country cannot get a massive numbers imbalance will backfire HOW?  If someone cannot fly on a side that already has a 50 man advantage---then just how many more to they friggin need?  "I can't fly where I want because THEY ALREADY HAVE TOO MANY PLAYERS" is more appropriate.   Again..how many more do you need?  If you are saying you need 25 or even 50 or even 94 more player advantage to be happy---what does that say about you and your country?

Ideally, each side should be reasonably even.  In that case, if a side gains or loses bases, wins or loses air or ground fights, you can chalk it up to a better or more skilled side.  As it is now, with one enemy with a 25 or 30 man advantage, and the other with 80 or 90....it's slaughter by numbers.  What get's accomplished in that? 

I will GLADLY fly on a different country if it means not being constantly gang-banged by countries with a 50 or 100 man advantage....and who wouldn't?  That's a heck of a lot better than how it is now.  If flying somewhere where there's not a 25 man advantage on the one side and a 94 man advantage on the other side and it's the Alamo every night....count me in.  With the massive numbers imbalances as it is now, it's a flippin joke...and got old a long time ago.







More importaintly, I don't see an answer from HiTech (who I asked my question/proposed a soloution to in the first place).  I guess no answer means as long as you are a bish or rook the gross side imbalances are just fine...if you are a knight....go look for a different place to spend your $15 a month.

So you finally get it?  Playing the game isn't just for one groups enjoyment but for all?  A fair and balanced game where all types of gameplay can thrive is more important then the horde and winning the war?

I don't recall this same tone when the glorious "Knits Alliance' was rolling bases and smashing the smaller number resistance with it's mob and those of us that were thinking beyond the tips of our own noses about a fair fight were being accused of spying and lying.

The irony here is you are wanting HTC to force players to go where they don't want to, so that you can play the game the way you want to, but when it was the other direction you would have none of it.

A perfect example of the me first AH community majority that made it so easy to walk away.

But I thank you for reinforcing my decision.  LOL classic.

Ideally, each side should be reasonably even.  In that case, if a side gains or loses bases, wins or loses air or ground fights, you can chalk it up to a better or more skilled side.  As it is now, with one enemy with a 25 or 30 man advantage, and the other with 80 or 90....it's slaughter by numbers.  What get's accomplished in that? 

I will GLADLY fly on a different country if it means not being constantly gang-banged by countries with a 50 or 100 man advantage....and who wouldn't?  That's a heck of a lot better than how it is now.  If flying somewhere where there's not a 25 man advantage on the one side and a 94 man advantage on the other side and it's the Alamo every night....count me in.  With the massive numbers imbalances as it is now, it's a flippin joke...and got old a long time ago.







More importaintly, I don't see an answer from HiTech (who I asked my question/proposed a soloution to in the first place).  I guess no answer means as long as you are a bish or rook the gross side imbalances are just fine...if you are a knight....go look for a different place to spend your $15 a month.

 So you finally get it?  Playing the game isn't just for one groups enjoyment but for all?  A fair and balanced game where all types of gameplay can thrive is more important then the horde and winning the war?

 I don't recall this same tone when the glorious "Knits Alliance' was rolling bases and smashing the smaller number resistance with it's mob and those of us that were thinking beyond the tips of our own noses about a fair fight were being accused of spying and lying.

 The irony here is you are wanting HTC to force players to go where they don't want to, so that you can play the game the way you want to, but when it was the other direction you would have none of it.

 A perfect example of the me first AH community majority that made it so easy to walk away.

 But I thank you for reinforcing my decision.  LOL classic.

Because switching from the lowest side to the highest side DOES NOT solve the problem. I am talking about making a solution to a problem. The problem is gross numbers imbalance--and if I switch to the sides with higher numbers, how on Cod's Green Earth does that help solve the problem?

If there is a policy in place, where after one side gets such & such percentage of numbers advantage (say 40 or 50 more players) that a mechanism kicks in to keep that side from even growing larger, that's a possible solution.  We all know ENY is a joke, and doesn't balance anything, so why not have something that actually works?

If there were such a mechanism in place--and I could not fly for my regular country, it would make perfect sense for me to have to fly elsewhere, because they would have maxed out the policy trigger and have far too many players already.  Again, I am proposing a solution to a problem.  If I have to fly somewhere else because my country has 50 more players than the others, I will.  We knights have (as long as I have been playing) been outnumbered 95% of the time, but here lately, it's just insanely disporportionate.




How many flippin' players advantage do you need?  20?  25?  50?  65?  85?....94? 



Just after Christmas the bishops had us outnumbered by 117 players...last week, rooks had us outnumbered by 94.  So exactly how much of a player advantage do you actually need to be competitive with knights?  100?   150?



I don't think HiTech was being sarcastic.  I think he did not truly understand the original poster.  The original poster kind of muddied the waters of his own question by getting into ENY and hopping sides to get cheaper rides.

Let's look at diversity of aircraft.  (starting in Aug which is before my house fire in Sept)

Me
Aug
landed kills in 26 diff fighter/attack rides (not including jets)
July
landed kills in 26 diff fighter/attack rides (not including jets)
June
landed kills in 20 diff fighter/attack rides (not including jets)

(I could of course go on... If you wanna include 262/163 you can add another 1-2 most tours)

You...
Aug
Flew a 262 and a Tempest so we'll skip this month.
July
landed kills in 12 fighter/attack rides.
June
landed kills in 8 fighter/attack rides.
May
landed kills in 11 fighter/attack rides.

Sure I have a "main" ride.  I have flown the niki as my ride of choice for 6+ years.  So do you (I recall you are a "decent" 109k stick) but I do fly and land kills in a larger diversity of aircraft tour in, tour out than you do.  I have (almost) always landed kills in 20+ diff rides every tour.  Ya' don't see me making posts about your "limited" plane set experience do ya'?  Or point out you yourself fly the niki so I don't know why the  hypocritical post about me when I land kills in twice as many (ish) diff. rides most tours than you do.

Crap son, look in the mirror before ya' go spouting off drivel like this.  Clean up y'er own side of the street before you tell me what mine should look like.
(edit:  something about glass houses is comin' to mind...)


Not MY fault the AvA flopped.  I gave it an honest try last time they did the long "War" thingy.  The side imbalance was rampart and the calibre of fight was sub what I could find in the LW.  If I am gonna get yelled at for changing sides in the AvA to even it up, I am gonna just move on and choose not to fly there.  If I wanna get hoarded, I will just head to the LW and fly Knits.  I made a post in the AvA forums about it all, and I was spot on in my opinion and the AvA went back to nobody flying it right about when I said it would.

I understand what your saying. The numbers imbalance doesn't bother me. It continually changes as squads rotate countries, as well as some squads getting fed up with their country due to the way they play, and they switch. Your suggestion for a fix however won't work because we ALREADY have that crowd that WON"T switch countries now. Your suggesting that HTC "force" players to switch. As it is set now they have the option to switch, and some do, although many are accused of being spies.... Im sure you've seen that happen. Most still don't take the option to help out. Sure it would be great to have even numbers all the time but I don't think there is a way to do it especially if people don't want to bother voluntarily.

I wasn't talking about how many different planes you got 1 kill in over the last eight months. I was talking about how you and others like you don't come in to the AVA because they like to fly uber latewar planes every day. I guess these "stats" are another way to try and make yourself look right. That's why I'm also guessing why all my stats are wrong, and why you only chose to do F/A planes. Take a look at the main rides (you know the ones with the big numbers in the "kill" column) and see what I was talking about.

Take a look at the main rides (you know the ones with the big numbers in the "kill" column) and see what I was talking about.

My reasons for not flying in the AvA has zip to do with the plane choice.

I can fly pretty much any ride and be successfully with it, which is why you will see me land kills in 20-25 diff planes each tour.


As I have allready said, the LAST time I gave the AvA a shot was when they tried to move it from an arena about Aerial Combat to a "Win da' War" lame setup.  When I got cussed out and yelled at for changing sides to even the numbers I decided that it was not the place for me.

Has EVERYTHING to do with the people, and ZERO to do with the planes.

Before that, I never really saw the "allure" for the most part.  For all the "we have the best fights in the AvA" post I read the bottom line was no, no it really did not.  You had the same % of decent sticks vs. noobs as any other arena.  It might "seem" like there were better fights because of the smaller numbers, but no, not really.  I was ho'd at, picked, and run from just as much as in any other arena I flew in.  Those that DID fight me pretty much died just like in any other arena and just as easy (and sometimes killed me of course).

If the AvA was a viable arena I would fly it.  (if some of the "regulars" have quit being such whiney dolts that is)

Considering I ran Aces Highs SnapShots for a year or two one would think you would have the grey matter to "get" that I love those types of historical matchups.

Considering I ran the King of the Hill for a year or two one would think you would have the grey matter to "get" that I love fighting in different planes. 

How many times in KOTH did I pick a Niki for the next round after I won?  Never.  D3a's, Hurri 1's and C202's were what I would typically pick.

Geez all these years and you are still just a twit not worth my time.

I consider this lame conversation "over".

Get a clue son.

Aww looks like someones feelings are hurt. You seem pretty hung up on the "war in the AvA". Since you make a big deal about the fights during that time you might want to check a few facts about it. It was based around hording and milking running, so it drew in the "win the war" types from the MAs. When that happened the great fights went out the window so your idea of the fights in the AvA are wrong just like your "stats". As for the snapshots and KOTH I hardly ever flew those, but we all know how that turned out for you don't we. All I see is you flying the N1K2 then getting a few kills in other planes then try to make it look like you fly them a lot to. As for the name calling that's nice oh and I'm not your "son" so you can stop with that, because it isn't going to work.

Mr. HiTech:  Please write it into the game where one side cannot get a 40 or 50 or even 100 player advantage over the other two.  Once any side gains a clear 40 or 50 player advantage in an arena, players wishing to enter that arena would have to pick one of the other sides as they enter.  As it is now, if you want to fly for the knights our of loyalty---you pretty much get slaughtered on any given evening CST in LW.

I agree with you ROX, this has been pointed out before when the Bish were on the hotplate and outnumbered by as many. 

Being outnumbered by 100 players is bad enough, but when the eny kicks in a small eny of 6.2 on the side with the most players is due to the lack of sensitivity, ENY sensitivity decreases as the player numbers increases.   

If this sensitivity is corrected to reflect more of a eny to side with the most players in that case would certainley cause people to swap sides to "even things out".

It would seem to me that everone is looking at this wrong.
The fundamental problem is nits lack organization and leadership.
I have flown Nit once or twice and ran a couple missions they worked out fine.
I think if nits would organize themselves they would be a force to be reckon with.

I also think the lack of leadership has caused some players to abandon ship on the nits.
I could be wrong here this is just my oppinion looking in from the outside.

I tell you one thing though that ENY crap really get to me, not in moderation but when it get's crazy like 20 or higher a real pain in the neck but that only seems to happen when 1 side get's close to victory, because everyone bailed on the losing countries.  :rolleyes:

Mr. Joker   :salute

About 90% of the time over the last year or so, organization & leadership are not the problem....knights trying to plug the gigantic holes on both fronts of the hemmorraging of bases by 3 and 4 full darbar attacks is the problem.  If you fly on this side, you'd see it clearly.

It's kind of hard to put any kind of offensive operation together when your busy defending vs a 25-100+ number imbalance in primetime on both fronts.

History shows there are extremely few nations ever able to make much of a small, localized offensive--all the while--they are getting slaughtered by massive numbers everywhere else.  It's a bandaid when your country really needs an ER, a blood transfusion, and 125 stitches.

It's not hard for any side to steamroll another with numbers.  When numbers are relatively even (like last night---for the first time I can remember in almost a year) it CAN be said that if knights fail to organize then, it CAN be their own fault.  

Saturday & Sunday both sides had us by 25+ and we were still taking bases.  Not by missions mind you, but by what one knight said as..."we're taking more bases --BY ACCIDENT---lately than by anything else."

However, on this and other threads, anyone, anywhere, on any side that bring leadership, organize, or do anything in the game besides furball are considered "lame", "hoarders", "armchair generals", and to be looked down on as if they were vermin or insects. If you aren't a furballer---out for your own rank and score--then you are either supposed to quit the game--OR--prepare to get flamed and roasted where ever you go by those who do.  But you probably know that already.

Bronk said it best---if you are sick of getting nailed by high ENY---move the squad.  I can't remember us even having a SMALL ENY in the last year in LW, and perk rides are usually pretty cheap.  C'mon over!  Bring your guys over!  We'd be honored to have you!  :salute

Good Luck, whatever you decide  :salute

PS....Since I am so "timid and lame as a hoarder"....as you put it...please ALSO explain to the unwashed as to the reason you LIVE IN FEAR of it and HATE it so much? 


BTW:  Since you hate it so much...I will rest, assured that, I will look to the roster and point every future mission I post/plan/execute directly down your throat.  Hope you enjoy them.

I've been away for a couple of days and this the first time I've had to read and respond to this thread since getting back.  Sorry if I had forgotten to post my itinerary.


Actually, if you had the ability to actually comprehend what someone posted, you would have realized that my response wasn't about any of your 'missions' or the last time you ran or planned a hord fest.  My response was to Mensa on why you'd never switch to the low number side (especially when the side your on enjoys a comfortable numerical advantage) to help balance out the numbers.


Like pretty much in all things in your life, you're wrong again.
Your squadron is just as clueless as you are



Someone was sure wrong and it looks like it wasn't me but then, as I mentioned earlier in this reply, being wrong is something you seem to very adept at.


How so?  You only fly in a horde, in addition to being a very timid and unskilled flyer.  Where am I incorrect about that?  I guess we all can't have the 'heart of a S.E.A.L".


ack-ack

He cant even bring himself to answer.


I hope that everyone on the thread and reads your "reply" and sees the fear in which you quake in your boots to avoid answering the question.

It's pretty  :rofl    :rofl    :rofl   to whatch you squirm like a worm to call names and point fingers elsewhere rather than answer a question and show your ignorance.

Keep squrirming worm....until you answer the question---Mr. Flippin'-Know-It-All.....you just amplify the neon in that neon "IGNORANT" sign on your forehead.  It would be more appropriate in your avitar.

Ummm...I did answer the question.  It's not my fault you can't comprehend my answer to Mensa, which was answering his question why you or your squadron won't switch countries.  I don't recall ever bringing up the type of missions you run in my reply to Mensa, other than that you won't switch because you like keeping the status quo.

Nice try though but better luck next time.

here is the basic deal, only puzzies play the high number side.

if you find yourself on the high number side and you dont know how to switch countries just ask and im sure someone will be happy to tell you.

we seek out the underdog and that is usually where we chose to fly, why? simple its where the fight is which in turn means that is where the most fun and excitement is likely to be.

if your on the underdog side, count yourself lucky, cause you should never have to go looking for a fight that does not constitute you and 10 other guys shooting at the same plane in hopes of getting the lucky shot that gives you the kill.

getting ganged can be a biatch, but its still alot more fun than kill shooting yourself on the azzzes of the 20 guys in line ahead of you all chasing that one loan enemy.

if you find yourself on the side with the lowest numbers, under constant attack from all sides simultaneously, sweating and shaking from the out numbered fights of desperation your are experiencing from the hordlings and feeling exhausted and drained when you decide its finally time to log off and call it a night......

well then you are getting the best experience you can find for $15.00 a month.

when you have that kind of feeling after you have finished playing the game at night, the HTC has done their job for you and earned your money and your gratitude.

if you dont end the night with these feelings.....

well your obviously one of the hordling puzzies who are playing for the wrong country and paying $15.00 a month for purely my enjoyment. i say thank you for your donation you tard  :aok

as so many like to say in these threads, its my $15.00 ill play the way i want! well im glad you do, cause your lame limp version of the game brings to me to a level of excitement and entertainment that equal sides could never attain.  :D

p.s. once again thank you for your donation to my entertainment......you grapefruit  :rofl  :rofl  :rofl  :rofl  :rofl  :aok  :huh  :rofl  :rofl

i dont think so.......otherwise they would puzzle out some bfm's and acm's and come to the conclussion that the horde is the lamest place in the game to be!

but if they do like puzzles they must be really bad at them. you know the i built that puzzle with only a pair of scissors and some glue kind of people.

My answere to the forum as to Mensa was crystal clear....if you can't understand English, it's not my problem.

I won't even bother the bandwidth to re-quote Bhodi's ...er....I'm sorry....Ack-Ack's latest line of comeplete BOB SMITH.  :rofl   :rofl   :rofl

Lie and run away without answering the question---like some congressman on the stand.  What a fruitcake.

It's exactly the same MO....here and on liewarriors.com.....lie...be confronted....avoid the truth.....lie....hide...same MO.

All it takes is reading these boards and this thread to see he will not--cannot--tell the truth.  When confronted with being required to answer a question, or tell the truth, the points fingers, lies about others, and then runs to the bushes to hide. 

All without answering the question:


Bhodi.....er sorry.....Ack-Ack.....er...whatever your shade today is...




What is the exact date & time of ROX's latest planned/posted/executed Knights Alliance Mission?






If you cannot answer that simple question...with a date and a time...that many people know...(as much as you lie, and say know one does, they do), then your credibility, however low that already was...is TOAST





Answer the question.


If you cannot...at LEAST have the NADS to admit you are wrong. 

All that tells everyone on this board is:  what does Bhodi.....er sorry....Ack-Ack have to hide?  The TRUTH, maybe?

Until Ack-Ack has the nads to answer the question...it proves his INGNORANCE of myself and what knights do as a whole.


I'll post again when he posts the answer to the question.


Until then, having a conversation with Bhodi....er sorry...Ack-Ack....is like talking to a brick wall that has legs to run away.

PS: See you all when Bhodi....er...sorry....ACK-Ack has the nads to answer the question.  Until then adios.

For those who really care, the answer has been posted on an obvious website as a complaint to me.  The answer is soooo easy to obtain for internet savvy folk it's like a baby can find it.

Oh....tell us all, Dear All-Knowing Ack-Ack---with your god-like knowledge...please inform the entire forum and entire community of the exact date and time of the very last knight's Alliance Mission that I planned, posted, and executed?












When you can't...at LEAST have the nads to come back and admit your (repeated) ignorance.















(This aught to be good.....I can't wait to see this answer..... :rofl    :rofl    :rofl    :rofl)









Oh...and Mensa:  

Please spend the time to read what someone has already posted before posting in confusion.  If you have to go back and re-read to get a detail you might have missed, it saves yourself some embarrasment later.

My posts above are crystal clear about what my position is on the topic, as well as how it would effect my game-play in if a side evening policy were put into effect.

Unless of course you posted to troll or incite, any other conditions or caveats you mention are yours not mine.  They also show a certain  degree of naive te about the game.

You have much to experience once you step off that stage with your high school diploma in a few months. I wish you the best of luck, and hope you land at a decent school, and have a great future in the adult world.





ROX

Please forgive me, I must be dense.  I do not see you crystal clear in this at all.  I am not asking about game play, I'm asking about YOU. You state first that you want it so that it automatically places you on a team depending on what team is lower.  However I am regularly ridiculed by you and your bunch for switching sides.  So my question, again, is:  What happens when you are placed on another country?  It seems like you believe the knights would be immune to this due to it being implemented to help with "knight loyalty".

I don't graduate until 2011, by the way.  And I'm sorry but just because I say something you can't BS out of does not mean I'm naive in any fashion.  I assure you I know the game as well as anyone else.  Do not try to downplay my questions because of my age, that makes no difference in their pertinency.

Thanks for the best wishes though.

Same, it's usually the only time I fly the P-38G  :D

The above was in reference to ENY making someone fly planes they wouldn't normally fly.


This was the comment from Mensa I responded to.  Notice no comment about what kind of missions you run or take part in?  Just me answering as to why you don't switch countries.  Honestly, how you can get something else from that is beyond me.

How can you switch countries without possibly being one of the above?

Puzzled,

Easy answer...ROX, nor anyone in his squadron, will switch.  They'll just keep the hord status quo.

Wow, do the little voices in your head ever fight with each other?  What answer would you like me to answer, seems you really don't know yourself. 

Am I Bodhi?  Is that the question?  Well, that's an easy one to answer.  No, I am AKAK or Ack-Ack, whichever you prefer.  I am far better looking than Bodhi, he wishes he was me.

What was the last time you planned a mission?  You'd be better able to answer that than me, it was your mission after all.  Though, it does puzzle me how this relates to my answer to Mensa.  Maybe you can answer that one for me, though I doubt you will, instead you'll make some paranoid ranting post about me not answering some question you thought of in your tiny, malfunctioning mind.
 
Please keep on posting though, you are providing us with a lot of laughs.

Yes, Knights have had low numbers lately and I've been flying knits for the most part because of it (at least until my computer died last Saturday). The numbers ebb and flow, each country getting hit by the lack of participants one time or another. Currently, it is the Knights turn to experience this phenomenon.

However ROX, do you really think that it is some conspiracy by Hitech to destroy you, your squad and Knightdom? Please, take your $15 and go elsewhere, you definitely need a break from AH. Judging by your senseless ranting I'd say it is a matter of time before you cross the line and become PNG'd.

Btw, Bodhi and AKAK definitely are not shades of one another.
