well i just logged off from MA ..... to pissed to fly .....
on the damn pizza watermelon map i panned all the way out and turned of icons and #'s ....
this is what i saw...
all but 10 or so of the 100+ rooks online were in 1 sector!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we were losing bases at the rate of 1 every 5 min elsewhere on the map....
yet these morons kept trying for 1 stupid base.....:mad:
i even heard a call out for the ack to get killed there cause the goons were dying....
WTF attacks a base and doesn't kill ACK FIRST!!!!!!!!!
i guess this common sence act doesnt relate to fellow rooks.
(((side note of ack killing... i watched fester and kappa alone cap 3 bases i tried to defend ALONE....:(
all they did was kill all ack first then between killin me the got the town..
shows what 2 smart pilots can do opposed to 90 dumb ones :eek: )
here's the pic of the clipbaord:

You think rooks have a monopoly on this sort of thing?
-
You can capture bases in this game?
-
Rooks have the best pilots in the game, none of whom care about taking bases. Most of those who did care, switched some time ago.
-
when i was in the MA for a couple months i flew rook ... i loved it ...and yes most of the best pilots are rooks from what i saw the rooks held off 100+ bish and knights with only a few bases for hours ... i think its fun not capp'n bases cause it lets you think more of what ya wanna do (pi** off bish + knight ) :P instead of waist'n time capp'n bases so they can take them back when its 70+50 to 20 ... tho i do like it when there are more of them than us cause its not as boring :)

Blitz has slightly different method, he takes out all AA in 2 passes, then kills your upping defenders.

why wouldn't you go where all the fighting was?

From all the whining I hear about the Pizza map in the MA, Im under the impression that which ever side starts to lose first, generally tosses their cookies and allows the map to be reset as early as possible regardless of whether they win or lose.
I commend the making of the map but if this is the result of it, why do we bother?
-
yep alot of people just opt out of the strat/score system and alot dont like the whole 3 side thing. million threads on it .
-
U know why rooks lose all the time?!?!?!?
Well because the rook always thinks it has to out manuever the Knight and never watches out for the queen or the bishop.Thus getting its arse handed to it. ;)

You pay my subscription fee and then you have the right to tell me how I should "play."
Oed
sorta like, "in other words, you pay my subscription fee and you have the right to tell me how i should use ch1."
no?
:D

My point is that it would be like paying $8.00 to go see a movie and sitting up in the back row when some anal retentive butt plug insists that you sit up front for in thier eys it is the only way to watch the show.
Now. Back to your analogy (and you). On the other hand no one likes the loud mouthed bozo that has these loud bouts of tourettes during the whole movie. Unless you've gone to a Saturday matinee kid show. In which case that behavior is to be expected.
maybe AH is more comparable to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
:)
for an even better analogoy, the movie theatre provides you earphones - like they do on airliners.... hmmmm?

point being, it's entirely within one's ability to both choose the plane they fly and deal with ch1 in however manner they please without trying to enforce their standards upon someone else.
not saying that ch1 should be *anything* goes, there are filters in place for the most outright naughty words, and each user can deal with otehr ch1 distractions in a manner of their own choosing, be it total detune or selective squelching.
wahhh wahhh he won't fly the way i want him to...
wahhh wahhh he won't use ch1 the way i want him to...
same difference.... pay their monthly fee, then you can feel free to impose your standards.

Not the 'same difference' at all. Yet you are trying to force that false concept into this discussion. You're saying gameplay (product use) is the same as player behavior (product user) and they are most definately not. Thems is apples and oranges.
Oed
apples to apples. here, let me fix your attempted comparison to read correctly.
"You're saying player gameplay (product use) is the same as player behavior (product use)."
or alternatively...
"You're saying player gameplay (product user) is the same as player behavior (product user)."
how one chooses/uses a plane or ch 1 is entirely up to them within limits imposed by the game.
you can't seperate the two as different. it's all about one trying to impose their will/standards on another. gameplay is interchangeble with behavior.
nice try, tho'.

The problem is that some use Ch1 as their verbal toilet...that won't change until HTC decides to draw the line.
I fear that,unless they do,the numbers of new subscribers that they have projected would stay with the game because of their new marketing campaign won't be realized.
Or, they could give us a perma squelch ability but as HT said, that realy isn't a solution.

care to define this?

rofl. That is some convoluted logic. Nice try yourself. It boils down to this. The $15/mo subscription only entitles the subscriber to access "Aces High" under HTC's terms.
....
After checking the HTC front page to help clarify I find HTC has dropped any reference to online TOS regarding behavior so I'm compelled to retract my prior statements and I have only left the following so you could see what I was going to say:
The monthly fee does not entitle anyone to tell other subscribers what way play nor what to play. And it certainly does not empower them to be disruptive in the arenas or behave in any manner they choose. Which you have first hand knowlege and experience of.
In the absence of a TOS for online use and behavior in AH you is obviously free to be as much as big of an bellybutton online as you've shown you're capable of being. Same with anyone else really. Other players have no grounds currently to say if you or anyone else acting in such a way is right or wrong.
Oed
you mean you find calling someone a lamer is "disruptive" when i think it's merely descriptive?
no, it boils down to mr high horses' trying to impose their worldview on others. no different than someone trying to tell soemone else what/how to fly.
HTC has a vulgarity filter in place, and this could bear some expansion to include racist terms (which we don't see very often anyway). if you don't like the political crap that comes up on ch1 every so often, you can either detune ch1, simply mentally filter (ignore) or squelch the individuals involved.
what you're basically saying is that because *you* don't particularly like trash or smack talking, *no one else* should be alllowed to do it.
there are lines that should not be crossed, i agree - but my line is slightly less uptight than yours.

I'll let HTC do that for us...deal? ;)

You have the ability to squelch ch 1 AND individual users. Impose your individual standards of Ch 1 chatter in that manner. You don't like what someone says, squelch 'em. You don't like the channel as a whole that night, squelch the whole squealing thing. Not going to bother me one damn bit if you don't return a
. In fact, it more bothers me when people think they MUST be given a every time they die.
wah.

no one(or at least almost ) anyone, cares what you think about what they do or say.Its as simple as that.
you want people to do as you say join the army and become an officer , else get off peoples backs.
all countries have their fair share of idiots, its universal.
rooks have some of the best flyers? er you could say that about any country.

Oed
that's all i've pretty much ever done and do... you hardly even find masked vulgarity coming from me... i'll smack down on other people's skills, or lack thereof, especially "names" - you don't see me riding some newbie's back...
"go learn some acm"
"TA ---->"
"lol you lamer ganger dweebs"
"run to acks! why did you even in on me first place? lamer!"
then of course i'll fire back at those not involved in a situation and try and get all high horsey or uppity.
whels and voss and my pushing of their buttons are a different situation tho'
seriously... try not and confuse me with the total potty mouth, HO-whine in 100db, cheat claiming, political spewing nitwit dweebs, ok?
:D
