Resets I really dont pay attention to. Im just not a reset person, but I was on when the Rooks won the reset. The main problem was everyone was so intent on getting fields from the Bishes they left the Rooks free to go unmolested in the Northwest area.
It has happened before, it'll happen again.
Just my observation.

Silly!
To squelch me on the BBS you need to click my profile and go below to the link that says "Add Animal to Ignore List"
Have a nice day.

He pry got offended and typed /.ef Animal, bewildered, wondering why he was still looking at your offensive post.

Zero, I'll tell you the same thing I told GoFigure
They pay to play, and they can do whatever they want, despite what you or any other desktop general yell at them. :)
Sure, wouldn't it be great if they teamed up with us to nab a reset? Sure it would. But you can't browbeat them for not playing the game as you want them too.
For 4 days, we've been duking it out at A9/A10 on that stinking map! Did it finally get reset?
-
Only reason I wanted the reset SO bad is becuase the map was getting old. Now that we are off of it im happy. When we were getting beat by the rooks i was thinking that everything would change and we would be back at the start AGIAN. I i dont know what these peoples problem is but from a few people this is what ruined AW (from what i hear) who cares if some one whines once in a while, I can understand if they did it 24/7 but this is the first time I have posted a "whine" on the BBS and there is no reason for people to be jerks about stuff. go play quake or something, you can go make fun of people there. heck they will make fun of you back. I'm sure I will get flamed for this BUT I just hope you know this is the internet. but anyways i'm fine now thnx for the REAL postest about what I asked.
thnx

Animal ruined AW, he’s a real jerk that play’s quake all the time.
I didn’t think you leaving the MA and posting about it was a whine, heck I just mimicked what Animal started and junk. Geez whiz.

might be part of the problem why people start fights over forums. but wahteva lets end this

Don't sweat it ZP, just last week the Rooks handed the Knights a reset in exactly the same fashion. Rooks were ahead and didn't pay attetion to the Knights on the other side of the map and the Knights got the reset.
IMHO, I'd much rather see some smashmouth slobberknockin country fights happenin than the oh so common "path of least resistance" approach, but that will never change as long as the majority of folks are less than interested in teamwork. The "Quake" approach to AH and the "Strategic" approach to AH will forever work against each other in the MA. I'd suggest going to the CT, otherwise you pretty much stuck with what ya got.

Get over it or you will go MAD!!
You pay to enjoy yourself, as do the rest of us. If i want to go fight rooks at 33 instead of fighting bish at A11, I will do it.
Last night I saw a mass of knights probably 25+ attacking a bish sector with no more than maybe half a dozen enemy in it... To me thats no fun.
The same applies to HELP A25 under attack!!!!! if you find yourself the lone defender and no help coming and you are just getting frustrated.. why not move to a different area of the map...
The game is one big cycle, A25 will still be there tomorro, so what if we lose it now?

I play in the CT :)

man it's getting so that all you can look at is the airplanes themselves. every piece of text contains a whine or argument.
in the 3 seconds it takes to type .squelch 1 i often hear 3-5 girly-ass whines one after the other or some stupid nuh-uh, yuh-huh, nuh-uh, yuh-huh conversation between two 12 yr olds.
constant whining on ch 1 so i squelch it.....now ch 2 is almost as bad....every other thread on the bbs about some 'grave injustice'...
so what if the knights lose - the war goes on until hitech's servers finally fall silent some day. who the hell cares.....add it up over a few years and you'll see sometimes we're on and sometimes we're off....
i can't imagine being 'touched' enough by the outcome of a fake war to spend time crying about it.
try going an entire week without crying about how the war is fought, or how people fight or their acm or how unjust it all is - see if you don't feel better...
damn are you even having fun?
-
Desorganized Knights? Sounds cool... More easy kills for Bishops then :D
-
As a bish I couldnt care less who wins the war. As long as I have one unvulched field to up from and some nits and rooks to kill Ill always be happy. I will always help out bish in whatever is needed of course but at the end of the day who cares, unless your badly in need of 20 lousy perk points. I would also appreciate some more gangbangin by nitrook. Saves me havin to go lookin for yas.
Gremlin.

The answer is simple my man.
Knits SUCK
Have a nice day
:D

Zeroping, alot of new players on nowadays...I made a couple missions yesterday, out of 130 knits on, I could only muster up 14 for one major assault on a defended airfield (Mission successful) but I was disappointed by the mission planner turn out. I then became one with the rest of the knits, mindlessly furballing! :) (Shrugs)

Hate to say it but....it's a sad day when Snort can only muster 14. Kinda show's the current trend in AH.

An old coach of mine once told me..............
Why worry, there's at least a billion people in China that don't give a damn.

I can tell you what happened in a nutshell. Simply this; certain to lose the reset, collectively, the Bishops elected to fight the Knits and not seriously oppose the Rooks. Barely a half-dozen Bish fought at A-18, the pivotal field, during the last 30 minutes.
Because the Bishops fought the Knits to a standstill, and because the Knits never expected the Rooks to galvanize as they did (this was truly remarkable too), the Rooks captured 9 or 10 Knit fields in about 30 minutes.
Indeed, the Bishops could not prevent a reset, but they could and did choose, to some extent, who won it. Furthermore, the Knights were caught by the assumption that they could capture two fields faster than the Rooks could capture 12. Their mistake was not realizing that two fields defended by 90 Bishops is harder to capture than 10 fields defended by no more than a dozen Knights.
Kudos must go to the Rooks for their patented "Rookskrieg" attack that involved about 90% of the players, who pitched in with great gusto. I flew on most of those attacks, and it was incredibly well organized. As many as 4 goons were standing by for each field. Understand that there was no centralized command structure. Everyone knew what they had to do, and did it without hesitation. Pilots didn't waste time landing, they simply augered and grabbed new planes. Yes sir, the Rooks seem to have a knack for organizing. Remember that monster B-17 raid back in tour 24? 40+ Buffs, and at least twice that many escorts!

Heh widewing.. I fly bish.. and last night we didnt need many people to defend the southernmost fields (18)..'cause them blokes only wanted to furball. I rarely saw a heavy craft or buff headed to 18 in a loooong time.
When we lost the N. most fields of home island we tried to pull an offensive.
Funniest of all was that knit/rooks didnt fight each other UNTIL A15 was lost and a reset became almost imminent. The whole night up until that point it was Bish Vs. Rook and Knit, huge bar dars all around the bish home island.. and tiny weenie bar dars in the rook/knit fronts ;)
Bish Rule! :D :D

Those "blokes" were the ones who didn't join the "Rookskrieg". As for me, I spent much of the time before the big attack fighting Knits up at 28 and 45. When we switched to the Bish after capturing the Knit fields, about 70 rooks hit 18. I got there before the FHs went down (I killed one of them), and there were no more than 5 or 6 Bish flying there, and these were killed off in a few minutes. There wasn't much vulching as the rest of the FHs went down quickly.
My regards,
Widewing
