I just wanted to pass on appreciation for the J0kers. During a time when the numbers are so low the J0kers manage to help everyone find a good fight. Even when they dont have a lot of numbers on or eny is not in their favor they stay focused and take bases (or attempt to).
Admittedly they shoot me down more than I do them...at least there is a good fight to be had!
Kudos to them. :salute
-
is this a joke? they are awful for the game. 77 and 64 vs 33 and they were hiding from combat doing noe missions on Tuesday and probably doing the same right now. people logging off in droves because of it.
-
Yep they can be sneaky. They are base takers. That is what they do. They like any squad dont tend to announce when they are taking a base. I have no problem finding them most of the time. :rock
It also seems to be true that when a base becomes to hard to get they go elsewhere. Still pretty easy to guess where they are going next.
I am in here for air combat. If I wanted to site-see I'd play Microsoft Flight Sim.

Jokers Chokers are good snacks...

slade, you mustve gotten drunk at lunch today. you may come to AH to fight, but they dont. they do noe's on undefended bases vs the least amount of people as there possibly can be. there was 77 bish, 64 knits vs 33 rooks tuesday. Jokers, Alchemists and G3-mf doing noe raids vs 33 rooks. pathetic! i wouldnt call that promoting combat. i would call it game killing considering how many people logged off when they got on after work and seen that rooks were already so far behind and flustered that there is no use in staying logged in. basically what it amounts to is a small group of people manipulating the game of everyone else who have NO CHOICE in the matter because we have to work in the daytime.

Heck I love kill'n J0kers. Cool to get them all in one place. More targets.
Too each his own VuduVee :salute

I have had my fair share of time getting murdalized by J0ker and the boys when I flew Rook and Knight (and getting kills in here and there), and it can be frustrating fighting them, for sure. But now as a Bish, I can say that they are a good bunch to play alongside with. In a fight over a base, they communicate non-stop with everyone else, and are good team mates. I think they get a bit of a bad rap. As for doing NOE when it's 77 v 64 v 33, NOE is fun. This is a game, after all. They're playing the game in a way that is fun for them. Would it suck to be on the other side? Probably, if all you're after is a furball. But we all play the game the way that's most fun for ourselves. If the day ever comes when I'm forced to stay online and play the game the way someone else wants me to, that person better be prepared to pay my subscription.

lol... the Jokers got NOTHING on the the dumbf***ery of a couple other squads.

Whos the bigger looser, the loser who names his squad after himself or the loser who joins said squad.

Slade's describing a normal day in the MA back when 400 players a night was the average with 500-600 on weekends. A 300 player night worried people that the game was dying. And most missions were exactly what the Jokers did last night. And everyone whined it was killing the game. But, they were whining about an environment so target rich, just spraying around with a field gun during any NOE attack got a few kills.
The jokers ran NOE hoard missions with what looked like at least one squad playing furball diversion to sand bag the knights into ignoring their bases being stolen. Sucks to be a lone wolf on the receiving end of the hoard when you aren't used to that kind of game play anymore.

"But we all play the game the way that's most fun for ourselves. If the day ever comes when I'm forced to stay online and play the game the way someone else wants me to, that person better be prepared to pay my subscription."
and there we have it. a few players having fun. the rest getting on after work and seeing that its pretty much game over and they never even had a choice or a chance. and then logging off. then the next person sees the same thing and logs off. (this surely cant be good)
in my mind, theres no need to do noe's vs any team that has HALF the people and who is also fighting 2 teams. how great can you really be if thats your big win? the only challenge in that is not crashing into a tree.

Sunday I thought it was very effective for the Joker's to have someone in each country doing strategic bombing.
Sure hope they weren't communicating back and forth across country lines
And if you believe that I have some beach property in Arizona I would be willing to sell :x

I have modified this post...
I can not in good faith allow what I had said to be kept on record before I changed this post in light of what I am learning.

Yeah kudos to the Jokers who had one of his squad members switch to rook while the rest of his squad stayed Bish and bragg about spying on rooks,accompanied by a plethora of insults to the entire rook country .... brilliant! Mass country wide squelch and report quickly ensued. :aok H*m**rD**n then proceeded to get his comms locked by Skuzzy after proper review of said conduct. Yeah kudos to a squad who has the numbers advantage and has to stoop to that BS. I would have paid an extra months subscription to hear the phone call he made to Skuzzy yesterday begging to have his comms restored. Kudos for your stand-up gameplay yeah right. You must be on a bad acid trip to start this thread 2 days after his guy pulled that crap.

that is unacceptable

No worries at all Wizz your a fun player who provides great fights as well as a STANDUP guy :salute Consider yourself blessed that you were not online and had to witness that mess. I was ... and it was the first time I ever witnessed every player online on one side mass report and mass squelch a guy all at the same time and I've been here since 2005, so there had to be some validity to it. Roy does not just take a players comms for 2 days for doing nothing. KUDOS to you Wizz it's the thought that counts and you meant well :salute comrade!
-
Wow did I just learn a lot about the J0kers in this thread.
I am not pro or con J0kers. My complete intention was to point out that in this game, at THIS time, I am able to find someone to fight because they exist.
To me they are a focused set of red targets and I like having targets to shoot down. :old:
That said thanks for your posts. Sorry they feel they need to play in some of the manners you described.
-
I toss and turn all night thinking about the Jokers :old:
They have ruined my life :cry
I would leave AH but if I did the game would collapse :old:
AHIII will put a end to their atrocities :old:

Voodoo, sounds like you want people to play the way YOU want them to. Jokers rarely do noe strikes , and if we do its a throwback mission in a special circumstance. Why Noe we don't need to.
Yes we take bases, that is what we do. The constant complaining about it is getting old. Basis of the game is to win map. Your numbers argument on unbalanced sides, that is what ENY combats.
Jokers rarely side switch and do not have any shades. Side switching to spy has resulted in Squad ejections. This past Saturday night to combat a Knit/Rook double team and a rook side that refused to engage the knits for a war win several of us did switch , with the sole purpose of strat smashing.
Spying complaints. Really. How many Knit and Rook shades do we see weekly tower sitting on bish bases. Ottorock? I was not on during the Hammerdown event but have heard of his being squelched and the storm that was caused by his being on another country. so I can not comment as I did not witness. Why is side switching so bad as every ENY argument is always answered with "switch sides why be loyal to only one chess piece" . You cant have it both ways .
Your appreciation trophy is in the mail.

im not telling you how to play skully. im questioning how good any squad is, who needs to "rarely" do at least 3 noe's tuesday, 77 vs 33 people total who are also fighting both teams. it cant be that good if it avoided fighting even numbers and then hid in noe's from the smallest team to attack it. basically, im saying, step it up, show something if youre so great.
as far as side switching, if you guys are switching sides just so you can help the bish, that aint right. and it lends credence to what im saying about dirty play from you guys.

Joker is my hero :old:

VuduVee that is not true at all, Joker very rarly do NOE missions,in fact J0ker does not like at all. I have been with them for about 4 years and have never seen them call for a NOE mission.
is this a joke? they are awful for the game. 77 and 64 vs 33 and they were hiding from combat doing noe missions on Tuesday and probably doing the same right now. people logging off in droves because of it.
-
Once again absolutely not true, Joker hates NOE missions.
slade, you mustve gotten drunk at lunch today. you may come to AH to fight, but they dont. they do noe's on undefended bases vs the least amount of people as there possibly can be. there was 77 bish, 64 knits vs 33 rooks tuesday.

Think that makes you the loser for making such a stupid statement.

I was on Cane and there was not any xcountry communications, sorry if you think there was.
Sunday I thought it was very effective for the Joker's to have someone in each country doing strategic bombing.

I've really never had an issue with NOE. If I up at a field and all of a sudden there is q0 planes or more on the deck... woot fight on. Better than having to climb to some that then make one pass and head home.
-
That was unfortunate. They were suppose to have gone to the same side but somehow went to different sides. We have fun flying with all of the Bish and most of them have fun flying with us. The ones that get *issed off are the ones that want us to stop what we are doing and come do what they want at a different base. Some guy that got so *issed off we would not come to his base switched sides and then started trash talking. He went on for 3 hours last night. LOL
I was not aware of this....
that is unacceptable

Maybe the NOE we had the other day RV, the NOE i16 raid, they got butt hurt cuz 30 i16's vulched them on the runway :D
-
Vuduvee this a game and we all play it for fun. If on a weekend when the knits and rooks are double teaming why is it wrong to switch chess piece affiliations and be able to do something constructive like bomb the strats. Whilst we are doing this, kick a few brews back, and have a bunch of laughs. No comms went to the other side on Saturday when I had switched sides. Pull the logs.
Its our choice our $15.00 . Skuzzy has repeatedly stated to switch sides due to eny and fails to agree on Chess piece loyalties as have a plethora of BBS contributors. So why is it now wrong?
The spying game that has become viral over the past year within the game, the shades, the dual accounts, split squad side switching, mission jumping etc.. is the ruination of the game . Please post a copy of all the rook chatter during Hammerdowns reported tirade on country channel. Was it all him?
Of late Vudu (for absence of your given name) your chatter has been unending on 200 complaining daily about Jokers taking bases etc etc etc... Perhaps, Fight the other country, up another cartoon plane, take a break and relax, up at a base we are not at , or come fly with us for a week I will send you an invite just pm me. See how we do things first hand , and you may see a different side to game.
Respectfully, Skully7

Darn you guys had a I16 NOE raid and I missed it. :mad:
Maybe the NOE we had the other day RV, the NOE i16 raid, they got butt hurt cuz 30 i16's vulched them on the runway :D

NOE whatever. Half the fun is guessing which base they are going to next. Its not that hard. I get it right about 50% of the time. When I do, and their numbers are disproportionate to ours, I'll bring an F4u1-c and slice through their bombers or just cause great havoc.
Long term looks like the beta is making good progress (reading the messages). I hope they have a huge and sustained marketing campaign when they release it. More players is better.
J0kers...check your 6! :rock
-
Gents I rarely switch sides I mostly participate with the Bish. If I am on in the morning EST time there are few people on-line. The only fights that do appear are the ones that the
JOKERS start. So I'll grab a hvy Jug and join in the fun they create. They are a good group, fun to fly with, and most have been in-game friends of mine for a long time. Spying
they would not consider. NOE in my experience never. You know when they are coming and it's up to you to stop them. As always, it's not anyone's obligation to tell someone how
to play the game. Proud to call these guys my friends. They make the game fun. That's why I play.

Not being an often pilot, I find the Joker GV crew worthy adversaries in the game.

geez, are you purposely ignoring what ive stated? its like youre answering someone else. i usually dont give a crap about side switchers or any of that crap. my gripe is that weekday mornings and early afternoons, you guys look at the numbers and then go after the team with the lowest numbers, you do it mid day when no one is playing. you do noe's mid day , when no one is on vs the team with less than half the players you have. tuesday was 77 and 64 vs 33 people. but that morning, im told it was 9 rooks vs 50 and 40 something. yet you guys chose to blitz the 9 instead of the real threat( no risk to your scores if you go after the 9 is it?). i question how great any squad is that does this every weekday morning. if you think im making this up, log on weekday mornings and watch jokers and alchemists roll noe's and 40 man hordes to undefended bases vs the team with the lowest numbers. by the time working folk get on for rooks, the map isnt worth staying logged in to and they are outnumbered 2 to 1 and vs both teams. its a game killer and working folk cant do crap about it.
i couldnt care about switching sides for the normal reasons. but you guys side switched to help bish out covertly, you even said it in a post in this thread. in my mind, its yet more dirty play from you guys. some of you guys apparently switched to knits so you could have easier access to rook strats on that side of the map. apparently you had jokers on all sides. hmmmm, why is that? we all know why. and no one thinks you werent passing info back and forth. knowing how gamey you guys are, there is no doubt you were passing info.

Why is the Joker squad being talked about in such a harsh way? I enjoy killing these guys. Especially j0ker and also the delicious Hoagi lmao. :D

Hi Rud3boi, yes you have shot me down more than once.<S> Don't know why Vuduvee has his diaper in a knot. He apparently is not paying any attention when he is told J0kers do not or have very seldom done a NOE. J0ker likes for people to up he likes that challenge and is a very good cartoon pilot. I guess we did a NOE i16 raids the other day when I was not on, but that is rare. When ever we go somewhere and someone ask if we are going NOE the answer is always no.

Vudu.....(hint: get glasses).......I play in the am....I am in the Jokers........Jokers do not do NOE's......where in the frek are you getting this idea???????......also ALL side have players playing on differant side.......so what its part of the game now. Yes some of us have gone on the other side(s) to get fights started again so what, is not this game all about combat!!!!!!!! BTW as I stated before, the last NOE mission posted by a Joker member was a NOE i16 mission, wow thats a base taking mission for sure, come to think about it I did see a rook i16 mission amost take a base.......guess what, it was FUN on both sides i think :salute
-
Vuduvee,
To answer the question of who we chose to attack is based on situation on map at the time. if we need knit bases to win map we hit knits and vice versa. Once the 20% of a country is achieved we then attack the other country to achieve the map win. I play most mornings and log in 3-5 est most afternoons. Have not seen an noe in recent memory. The origin of the Jokers was the 242 RCAF run by Hapster and Goodie back in 2003. Back then noes were prevalent in the game. On rare occasions an noe sneak will be run to change a fight and try a sneak as a throw back mission .
I spoke to squaddies over past few days and they ran an I-16 noe for fun. No bang, no base take just a noe fighter sweep, FOR FUN as a change of pace. Have you never done a Stuka raid, or p40 sweep just to shake things up.
Those country numbers you speak of are incorrect. Someone's pulling your leg. At 8AM -10AM Bish numbers are high compared to knit and rook numbers. That is why we fly with 15-29 eny daily. The breakdown is usually 10-20 bish vs 5-10 each Rook and Knit. AT 10-12 AM most days the numbers get closer to even and we have 0-10 eny. By noon EST usually eny erodes to zero. These numbers we cant control.
Hording?? Bish have a few squads, Jokers , Alchemists,Reaper24, Kriskross, Flakhappy, GHI and others all long time players who run great missions. When they post Bish join . Jokers run squad ops all the time and long time friends with in the game link up and fly with us. This is what we do. Its the game up a plane take a base , kill bad guys, fighter sweeps, Vbase takes. We are not gaming the game when we switch sides, just inventing a way to have some fun when the bish are being rolled by both countries . We did not take bases for the other side just hit the strats. Note during the 2 hours of beer killing and Capt Morgan and cokes we saw two planes up to defend the strats. Is that the Jokers fault that no one defends strats.
Again I was not on last Sunday when you say there were Jokers on all sides so I can not speak for what had happened. I have spoken to squaddies who were and the switch was due to the double team and no comms were going inter country. This again is against squad ethics. We do not need a shade or a spy to help us do what we do.
I think that addresses all you have spoke of. You are welcome to come join us as a guest anytime. The invite will be honored. I would enjoy to wing with you and believe you would enjoy yourself.

Haters going to hate.
I cuss the Jokers early and often.
But, the game would be worse off without them. I also miss the Devil's Brigade; though, the two are not directly comparable in skills. The missions and focus is what these guys bring to the game.
The frustration is that Rooks won't up in the face of the missions.
Bottom line: Missions and base captures make fights, despite the "all about combat" camp. The Jokers make fights.

I have the utmost respect for joker and his crew. Theyve been doing the same thing for years on end and most of the time bring a decent fight. Some of the pms I get are always a source of entertainment. :ahand
