Can we do a 24hr test with only 2 countries in the main arena, please? I would resub for that, knowing I could easily find a fight any time of day. :)
No need if the switch time was reduced.

Eny has no effect on the Yak9T
No need if the switch time was reduced.This is the better idea.
Nrshida,
In the arena setup\environment\general is a setting with a value 0-1000 for when ENY will turn on based on number of players in the arena. It is set at 70.
You gents act like the human dynamics in the MA is a fixed factor

Fixed? How ironic.
Simple, you gents throw solutions out like "if you build my solution they will magically love it becasue I'm a genius at this." While expecting someone else to test it, build it, and sit around observing the outcomes of how it isn't utilized. And you nrshida don't even play the game any more in the MA nor does kappa. But, both of you are experts on the social dynamics of player utilization of functions in the MA during drive by sessions here in the forums. Fixed dynamics means if someone will just implement your ideas, the MA population will fall all over themselves to play on them and the day will be saved. No two days in the MA of utilizing the functions is the same on the same terrain each time it comes up in rotation. And on some rotations the cats reject all the milk on the same terrains until it's next time up in rotation and then they go nuts playing on it. I doubt you have ever watched terrains for two years none stop to understand how they are utilized by the MA community. Yes you have played the game and so has kappa, but, that is like saying you slept in a motel 6 and can perform surgery becasue of a good nights rest when you are a plumber.

And another point. The title of this thread is a direct quote from HiTech, the subject of discussion I proposed to be about creative alternatives to ENY and all the rest. But never mind. Even the most bloody-minded eventually identify a :bhead situation. Carry on :)
I love it that Bustr thinks he's got me by the b***s here. Vraciu, hold my pint and watch this for a reversal...
Untrue. I have made a technical contribution to this game drawing on my very expensive education and state of the art expertise - for free - to directly help HTC keep new players - and even received positive feedback from players who used it. You even tried it and liked it. I just don't rub my contribution in people's faces at every opportunity like you do.
A quick glance at your methods and obvious bias indicates your two years of watching hasn't supplied you any objective understanding either, so your point is moot.
You know what my theory is about you Bustr? Well you can read it anyway since you cited my name as a bad example :)
I think you have spent a painfully long time, two years and three heart attacks <whatever> trying to make MA maps which insulate or separate your average Joes from your perceived ACM-sharks. An endeavour analogous to Alchemy and similarly based on a fundamental misassumption regarding the elements involved. That's why you keep having to go back to the drawing board - so-to-speak. You could have, of course, consulted an expert but that would naturally have undermined your favourite informal fallacy that of arguing-from-authority. Plus you'd have tipped your hand to the falseness of your presentation - which is that of an impartial contributor to the game who's only got its best interests at heart, and doesn't expect to get anything out of it, who understands the game dynamic better than HiTech, but would never say that outright of course, because you're so well-mannered.
And now this is your go-to response if anyone dares challenge your (unfounded) assertions on what amounts to an increasing character assassination of other players / forum members or their opinions when they differ from your vision of y̶o̶u̶r̶ I'm sorry, I meant HiTech's game.
Is this perhaps an indication of the normal standard of your research?:-

Although it's true I don't prefer the MA because average Joes just don't taste very good. The best prey are the ones that can actually kill you. Although there's not so many of them left. It's hard to judge of course if that's environmental or an ACM-improvement because, as you say, it is indeed a fluxing and dynamic environment. Obviously. Anyway I'm sure the implied Hemingway reference is not wasted on someone as literate as you present yourself to be (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/rwrk2/detective2.gif)
*And before the standard let's Rule #4 nrshida's response because it's too personal informal fallacy is invoked - this is not personal, it pertains to 'professional' activities pertaining / 'contributing' to the game and is a response to Bustr's post in which my name (amongst others) was cited and used as a bad example - a valid and fair rebuttal.

Sensei, why are you bothering with this? It(and they) is(are) beneath you.It SHOULD BE beneath ALL OF US. This DOES NOT HELP...I understand the need to get your points out there and understood by those to whom those points are directed....DONE. Now let it GO for the good of the game.PLEASE I feel like I am going through a DIVORCE and find myself picking sides. DONT WANT TOO. I love and respect ALL you guys..so please STOP :salute
Sensei,
Or have I missed the reason for this thread of possibilities of ideas to fix something...
I find Bustr much more capable, in that regard. Seems there's a cadre of players that really get miffed at his bringing up his experience with terrain making and dedicated mindset to understand both the mechanics and stated desires of the community as well as the practical constraints HT must work within to produce a good game (though he's the one member of the community devoted to such). He has mentioned the apparent attitudes of players whose egos drive their opinions and mistake such for expertise and I guess that stirs their pot. However, I do appreciate how much he doesn't let those types of players drag him off message.
Shida? Well, he can pretend to be such but he always seems to devolve into hurt feelings and dug in heels. I find his regular need to make fun of Bustr's heart attacks both juvenile and beneath contempt. He's the kinda guy you hafta massage constantly. He may have potential but he's not willing to take a shot to the ego for the team.
And .... before this goes further (if it does) .... I've made my observation and said my piece. May this .... productive thread .... produce something worthy (in spite of .... whatever .... self included).
Some ugly-minded forum members are going to have a field day thinking I insist you call me this to be adored. The real reason would not compute :rofl
Yes you did a little bit. After the other thread was locked I could not access the forum or website for 24 hours so thought I'd been PNGed. Have sort of asked if this topic was off limits. Still waiting.
Rapidly losing any will to contribute further tbh TC :)
Bustr really had heart attacks? I thought that was just hyperbole.
He did. A year or so ago, if memory serves. Possibly more.
Shouldn't matter. There's no need for Bustr to generally attack "sharks," and no need to respond by attacking Bustr. HTC does not give people perk points for clever repartee. It only makes our collective group look small.

You were not PNGed, they were in the process of moving the web servers
You must didn't catch Skuzzy's announcement post about the AH BBS would be going down
He did. A year or so ago, if memory serves. Possibly more.
The topic is not off limits as long as the conversation stays on topic,
There's no need for Bustr to generally attack "sharks," and no need to respond by attacking Bustr.
No, we get miffed at the constant finger pointing and air of superiority. It's rather off-putting.
Sensei, why are you bothering with this? It(and they) is(are) beneath you.
Well the main thing is that some people completely fail to notice or choose to ignore the ongoing passive-aggressive attacks on something some people are passionate about and are able to act out their Marvel Comic fantasies of leaping to the defence of the 'innocent' by ironically resorting to the exact tactic they abhor. Which is of course different when they are doing it.
Do people fully read every single post and reply in each thread?
To understand the situation and different conversations transpiring within a thread?
Before chiming in with off the mark/off the message replies that really have no clue or context as to the actual different conversations/side conversations in such threads/posts....
I don't think most are really interested or paying attention to what is being posted
What say you?
TC

I’m not the one going you you you you guys you you you like I know what everyone is thinking. You-know-you (again, not you) is the expert at incorrectly telling everyone else what they are thinking, not me.
Sometimes people actually post what they are thinking (or at least seem to pretend to). In such cases, others may respond that they have read what they said and use 'you' when talking about what they, in first person, posted. If that tradition has changed, some of us need to know. My step-son still updates me on millennial text-speak. :old:
about people who smack forum members
I'm glad there was a nerve that got touched.
You still owe Bustr an apology, imo
you're resorting to such in an obvious attempt to assault another player's character... It reflects a lack of civil boundaries.
Oh look, a bromance. Everybody watch Shida...
Shida? Well, he can pretend to be such but he always seems to devolve into hurt feelings and dug in heels.
He's the kinda guy you hafta massage constantly.
I've more than made my personal observation.
I've met my fair share of Brits that excel at communicating via the written word and there's not really that much of a gap, where insult is concerned. Frankly, Shida is no John Cleese.
You still owe Bustr an apology, imo (because that took the long and roundabout method to avoid one).
I may feel inspired to follow your lead and treat you like a grown-up.
Evidently we were unaware and using it as a satirical commentary equivalent to the 'blood, sweat & tears' portrait Bustr painted about MA map-making. Which discouraged others to tackle the endeavour. Obviously would not wish such a thing or wilfully mock a person in that way over differences of ideology in a computer game
This looks like an apology .......whether it was meant to be one directly or indirectly
Bustr will have no apology because we are engaged in a dispute with him over ongoing differences of opinion over philosophies of gameplay and contributions to the game of Aces High into which he has given as much as he's taken. Vraciu and I will patiently wait for your apology however for accusing us of knowingly throwing Bustr's heart attacks into the mix, which was unfounded, untrue and slanderous.
Which would be wrong to do you say...
It's literally just a barrage of personal attacks on my character, insulting me with no reference or contribution to the topic under discussion or the ongoing argument between ACM-sharks versus Regular Joes. I'd understood this was not allowed on the forum. But whatever...
Let's agree to call it an agreement not to use that joke further since unbeknownst to Vraciu and I it turned out to be true :salute
Wow. Your pride won't even let you admit that you made a mistake and went too far by using Bustr's heart attacks
If you can't take what you readily dish out at other players (oops, I mean innocently 'joke' about) then perhaps you should modify your own behavior more than worry about mine.
Wow. Your pride won't even let you admit that you made a mistake and went too far by using Bustr's heart attacks as a 'valid dispute point' (it's not, even if you want to tell yourself that you thought it was 'innocent hyperbole').
Upon reflection.
Can we do a 24hr test with only 2 countries in the main arena, please? I would resub for that, knowing I could easily find a fight any time of day. :)
Could they write in ENY to stay on if there is a huge disparity even during low numbers.
Turning it off with low numbers while things are balanced is fine.
I hope your tactical adaptation is more rapid in a dogfight. Otherwise you'll never become an ACM-shark.

Now where did I leave my Flippz decoder ring???? :headscratch:
I saw Lippz in a movie once. It was called DELIVERANCE. :ahand :devil
That was a good documentary.
if eny was disabled for low player count--then why on Friday night sep-14th at 2am central--30 players with rooks having a few more players the Knights and bish did rooks have 7.9 eny? hmmm
Because "low" is a nebulous concept. Low to one man is high to another. That's why people keep talking about this subject despite the dismissal of the issue by some... My personal feeling is, and has been for some time, that the ENY "ramp" is too steep too soon.
Might as well lock this thread and let it sink with the rest of locked threads
You had a chance to ask that of Shida in your TE thread, I believe.
He immediately used it as an opportunity to go low and take an 'innocent' shot at Bustr.
Thread couldn't even get started because of the ambiguity of this topic being in the same consequential category as how the 12-hour rule protest was handled even before the poo-slinger(s) showed up. I don't think a fair side balancing can be achieved with ENY, side-switching time limits etc. etc. New tools would be needed with the present numbers and disposition of the remaining MA population. Actually considering the latter I don't think it can be accomplished at all.
:salute

I don't know about that. I went rook for a while about 3 years ago and a few of my former squadmates are just now starting to speak to me again. I'm being serious here.
