For some reason, the "Slim Shady" song comes to mine (the Christine Auguilerra remix)... "Please Shut Up" over and over again.
I don't know how it is on the other sides lately, but for me, on the Knights, Mr ZeroPing is awful upset lately if we do not click our heels and heed his directions.
And I'm not picking on Zero, because there are others from time to time.
Cooperation is certainly an option in the Arena. But recall paying players are there, playing as they want. Like it or not, that's how it is. So, when the war isn't going your way, and you are upset that others do not see the battle as you should....bite your tongue, or pry the "/" off the keyboard ;)
Mmmkay?

I think it's a rule of MA.
rule #324
Must have guy repeat "WE'RE GOING TO LOSE BASE A36!"

But thats not true..I would ignore them even if they paid for me...
Myself, I just chuckle and squelch and remember when I had that particular disease...It is so nice not to care about A36 anymore!

Ya, I'm finally landing 15 perks minimum per sortie. So what if we don't get the reset. I just wanna fly my spit.

The word "ironic" comes to mind.
My memory might be off, but I seem to remember when during your early days BD5, you kinda played the General role pretty often. ;)

Don't ever recall being a General to the point some of these guys are, accusing guys who won't do as they bid as being bad players, etc etc
As I said, we all have days where cooperation would be nice to have. But as of late, some of the folks being Desktop Generals have really crossed the line from being squelchable to downright jerks about it
As my favorite senators would say, "I have no recollection of that", Dago :D
And if I did, I was never as bad as some of the fellas have been lately.

Since the perk for reset started I always told folks even if they get reset they have the potential to earn more perks defending then the guys on the side resetting.........
I used grab bases and such.hell at 1 time my squad of 3 guys had like 17 field captures a piece.............
The guys yelling from the tower "we need to defend base a36" crack me up..........
They could just up a few lancs and kill al the barracks along the front.........but they beetch all the time.......
last night during zps best general impersonation I typed in .wingman zp and didn't see his icon anywhere ( he coulda been gv or noe ) I flew for a bit got 12 kills no deaths and logged.....I didnt see his name in the kill msg'es at all.
Most of the time the desktop generals are just like that. 3 resets a day and they still think it means something to "win"..........
The good thing is tho its normally newer guys.......after a while they either discover what most of the rest have and play to have fun or they realize no one gives a fek and shuts up.
There are elements of fun in everything about ah but none of its real if ya get reset you aint going to a pow camp. you'll just up 5 min later and start it all over again..........except you may just be a little more pissed the next time it happens and switch countries a few ties till you see its the same evrywhere...........

I think a lot of newbies go through a "keyboard napolean" phase that lasts about a month or two. This phase usually starts a little bit after they get a hold on basic AH strat... A flurry of brilliant strategic ideas flood the newbie brain along with delusions of reset "grandeur"... Their teammates become a disorganized rabble, and themselves the self-appointed masters of ceremonies.
I know I went through this phase, organizing missions all the time, disregarding any respect for kill-ratios in order to bring down enemy AA for my team (ok, well I still do this, but now it's because I want to come back and vulch:)).
Once they see enough resets and get carpal tunnel from filling the buffer with "MISSION UP!", most realize they aren't having a good time, they start to wonder why they are stressing out about a video game. In other words, they'll graduate to just having fun :).
It is annoying though, I hear ya on that one. Oh, and BTW BD5, you were pretty bad back in the day :D.

BD5 was once a "desktop general"? That explains enough for me...
I'm not to sure but wouldnt this be classified as a whine? From what I remmber BD you had a nice streek of whines going, was it 3 months in a row? Don't remmber and dont care to much. But man, BD5 was once a "desktop general" explains enough for me not to get mad......
Peace

"Keyboard Napolean'??? :D Cracked me up. Though I have to admit that I resembled your remark at one time too!
Rude- I'd like to nominate Elysian's quote for your list of most pithy comments for the week! :)

Unlike you, when told we're being a Desktop General, we do not respond "Well someone has to do it". You do not need to at all.
And, when told to knock it off or when one politely declines your orders, I never went into a rant insulting fellow players. There's a vast difference between what you've been doing versus anything I've ever been accused of, Zero.
Aztec, I see you're from Maine. Weren't you begging for PC parts way back when? I recall you needed a video card but never heard back from you, as I had retired a older Voodoo 3. I assumes all is well?
-
I don't remmber any one telling me to knock it off. Ever heard of squelch? I don't TELL people to do something, I say A30 is underattack help please bla bla bla... i dont go GET OVER HERE NOW OR ELSE WE WILL BE RESET!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have seen so many people do THAT, but i dont seem to do that(mabye once when im high...) i ask for some help and when we are about to lose it I say we lost the base.
Who cares? I care for about 15 sec. then move on. I don't understand why you make a big deal when you once were a "desktop general" As you said its my 14.99 I can do what ever I want to do with it. Well there you go. I do what I want and you can do what you want. If u dont squelch my i will be HAPPY to squelch you.
I apologize if you dont accept it then WHATEVA. personly BD u should use the word SQUELCH more often. becuase I know i sure as hell will. BTW lets grow up (all of us?) and stop fighting on the INTERNET
Peace

I resemble that remark.....................wh en the beer is flowing through my veins and I don't care what anybody thinks of me..........but then the beer need not be flowing through my veins to not give a f*#! about what people think of me:)
It only took me a about 4 years to get over the Little Hitlerizm I suffered from. Now I dont care after a year of country rotation. If you rotate for awhile you care much less about who "WIN" or not.
and BD5 you were as bad.....but not quite as bad as I was;)
Still don't care what anybody thinks of me...................
LLB OUT!!!!!!!!
-
"(mabye once when im high...) "
I think maybe you were high when you wrote that last post....
:D :D
-
Don't temll any one please............ im still high.......... behing high is fun.........
But BD5 its ok we all get mad and say things. at least normal people do.. if not then ok WTFG for you!
peace

How old are you, ZeroPing?
Just curious...your posts and attitude lend me to beleive you need parental guidance to most movie theaters ;)
-
We Bishops do not care of your little problems with your pathetic self-apointed leaders. Our country recognizes only one true leader!
His name is Generalisimus Fariz the great :D
Where he goes - others follow - nobody complains. Everybody fights, noone quits.
And then Im just siting in front of my display having a good time and reading posts on Ch. 1 about Bish-Rook aliance abuut actually leting us win. Yesterday I spilled my coffe all over the screen when i noticed rewolf's "Eat me!" post followed by 'blue' answer :D
Oh well... ;)
-
As a matter of fact no LePaul, you have me confused with someone else, and for the record, he wasn't begging for anything either. Yes all is well here and thank you so much for your concern.:)

You are right about that MadBird. Folks generally do follow Fariz and I'll tell ya why. For the most part, we don't care about capturing bases, destroying fields, or resetting the map. Most of us just want to have fun and Fariz consisently leads us to fun.
So to all of you desktop generals out there. If you show your people fun, they will follow you.

It's a phase some people go through. "Generalismo Stratego"
It helps to think of the MA like a giant hampster wheel. No one will ever really "win the war" in the MA because it'll just reset anyway.
Now, SCENARIOS are a whole nother issue. :)

Damn, Honch. I could actually hear the nail being it on the head from all the way in Canada

"...The word "ironic" comes to mind. My memory might be off, but I seem to remember when during your early days BD5, you kinda played the General role pretty often. .."
Exactly. I remember squelching you BD5 on several occasions for the very same reason. I'm obviously not the only one to note this which should tell you something. Then you have the gall to come on here to criticize somebody else for the same behaviour. Sheesh.

I decided to pay for AH because I liked the look of the strat and enjoyed the flight models of the planes. Now all I see is strat minded people being abused by 'others'. Thats why I don't fly much anymore, its just like another counter-strike server, with planes. The opportunity is there for some good teamwork but everyone would rather have the big score to put in their pants and strut around in front of us with.
