yes, something must be done, we lost the balance nits need more players
-
I suggest just suck it up and ride it out. Asking or suggesting to HTC that they should impose some type of limit would be stupid. Besides, with Knights being out numbered, you don't have to worry about losing too many perks when flying a perked vehicle.

I have no problem about being out numbered. Its easy to find a fight quickly. The bish are the ones that have to waste the day flying a sector to fight.

why are people like this?
its been 3 freaking months (that i remember being bad).
We dont ask for 100% even numbers, thats impossible, but we dont want 2-1 or worse odds that knights get alot of the time....(excluding the normal gangbang)

i can recall when knits were in the bucket for a hella long time.... then it shifted to rooks, now back to knits. i can honestly state that those who country hop, or are dedicated bish, cannont state with any certainity that "every country has it's turn in teh bucket."
bish, going as far back as 03/2001 (when i joined AH) have never been in the bucket for more than a day or 2.
of course at certain times of the day, bish may certainly have lower #'s (but not by much), but I'm talking US Prime Time.
-
I'd be happy to change over to Knits on occasion but that would really limit my time available and opportunities to hunt for AKAK around 30,000 feet for 1 v 1. :-)
AKAK, buddy. You really need to cut back on the smokes, that way I'd get to see you more often around 10,000 feet. :P
P.S I have some great 2/3 images of Mel for you.

I'm sorry that I don't feel your pain but the last three months have been a real good for my kill ratio.

part of the problem.... everyone cares just about there kill ratio.... :p

Well, now that I'm a knit.....
We had no dar last night
Down to 6 bases
Had just as good of a fight for several hours as I've had flying Bishop.
I like being in the bucket.

Yup. Great fun was had by all.
I like that we're in the bad corner of Trinity, and we haven't been reset all week, even though we're outnumbered 2:1 by both enemy countries during primetime.

Not at all part of the problem, since I'm a Knight and have been since I've started AH.

I'll be back soon! Nothing like a target-rich enviroment filled with baby seals in typhs.

Even with dar out, being a Knight, all you do is have to fly towards any enemy base and you will eventually run into as many targets as you would like.
We had some great fights going last night from A11 to P15 until some rook dweeb decided that porking the fuel at A11 was necessary. This is what bugs me the most. Numbers imbalance .. not a problem, but when some dweeb feels the need to pork fuel even when they have a 2:1 advantage at "the fight" is rediculous.
I'll fight you 2:1 or 3:1 all day long, but at least give me the fuel to do it. It appears that the numbers advantage is not enough for the other countries to try to steamroll the Knights. I guess it due to the fact that the Knights WILL NOT roll over when backed into a corner.

Your right, they gotta be pushed up to the cliff with the rest of the sheep. :D
-
Seems we Knights have been backed into the lower corner all week..
But you wusses just can't seem to roll it..
"Maybe" tommorow eh ??
That's my strat post for the year...for the the....decade..
-
There is an historical sentence said long time ago by a Spartan- Greek leader that can be rearranged..... for us knights......
"Don't tell me how many Bishooks there are, but where they are"
... it can be useful mainly when we are without radar;)
-
this game comes with radar?!?!?!?! ;)
-
We need no stinking dar. Just give us fuel and ammo! :D
-
Dar, Dar!...we don't need no stinking dar!
Just head out in any direction and wait 3 mins. (Unless your headed Bish by north Bish, in which case climb to 80,000 ft, then wait 2 hours).

3 months? It was the same deal in September '02....
edit: well, it was the rooks getting reamed, not the knights.

After yet another night of getting bishrook slapped. I ran across . It is a huge download (341 megs) but now that it isn't microsoft anymore it actually looks quite attractive.
Numbers will balance, but it is a mistake to assume the options are only bishops rooks and knights. It's a big world out there.

You'll be back after a few days in FA.

lol ;) Didn't play half as much as I did last year, but I broke 70 at my friend's club... that course fits my draw perfectly. It also helped that I could drive all the greens on the par 4's...
Anyway, mostly drove a zamboni all summer ;)
No more ham sammiches either... steady diet of chicken and rice now :mad:

Did it not occur to you to do something about it? :confused:

I'd be embarrased to refer to that thread.
From that thread it appears that you are in the dark as to re-supply of HQ. If HQ is not TOTALLY destroyed, then re-supply won't work. HQ has a "repair" and a "healing" aspect built into it and if its not totally destroyed, then "repair" will not work ... only "healing" which is implemented thru the train supply route.
There is an old saying ...
Better to be thought of as fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

... but I'm not you! Dunno about your HQ claptrap. All I know is that we had HQ up and running again after those drops. :p
As to that "old" saying - it was Denis Thatcher who said it. :D:cool:

You practicing for the Cheapshot Artists' World Championship? Your selective quotation of Rude's post and your snide comments appear to be attempting to make Rude's post look like a whine. Bad form.
BTW, I agree with Slap on this one...reposting your resupply thread hardly improves your credibility.

He's just a griefer playing only to disrupt not giving a damn about anyone else.

Just put him in your ignore list. Then you don't have to read his BS anymore if you're logged in. It's quite refreshing, like squelching channel 1. ;)

NB... oh how quickly we forget! Cheapshots? I give as good as I get on this BBS. A cursory glance at some recent threads will reveal plenty of cheap shots taken at me. But oh! You don't notice those, do you? Well, I have to tell you. It all comes home to roost in the end. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander... :p "We had no dar last night"? Sounds good for whine of the week. :D BTW, I agree with Slap on this one...reposting your resupply thread hardly improves your credibility.
Oh, well at least you acknowledge that I have some credibility. Didn't know I had any! :) But I've said enough. The furballers are getting upset. Something about boot being on t'other foot.
Rude - I didn't mean to be rude! Just making a point, but perhaps a little strongly. I didn't realise that people took what I said to heart. I've talked to you on voxx and you're a nice bloke. :)

No ... you are not me ... you haven't quite grown up enough yet.
Not my HQ claptrap ... it's HiTech's claptrap. Give him a ring and tell him he has it all wrong.
I don't care who said it ... it still rings true in your case.

Beet1e ... the large majority of your posts are always kneejerk reactions to other posts, bent on making the topic controversial, so anything you "get" on this BBS is usually well deserved.
If someone says "black" ... you say "white" .. if someone says "tall" ... you say "short", all with the intention of causing controversy so that you can have someone to play "BBS Chess" with. It's getting old.

I flew last night and got 2 kills!

Ahem... - If someone says "move the fields closer together", I disagree, and say so.
- If someone says "Harden HQ, harden FH", I disagree - things are fine as they are.
- If someone says "perk bombs", I say that's not fair, and is an attempt to steer the game towards being furballcentric.
- If someone says "there are no fights on the pizza map", I see that as putting pressure on HTC to remove it from circulation. I don't want that to happen, so I'll show that there is action on the pizza map - whether you personally approve of it is another matter.
- If someone chastises the French - just for laughs - I'll be sure to point out shortcomings in their country.
- If someone dismisses an entire continent as "nations of pissants", sure I'll have something to say about that too.
- If an American portrays Britain as a nation of drunks, I'll do a little research and find that actually, America's problem with alcohol (cases of liver cirrhosis per 100,000 population) is 1.6 times worse than in Britain.
I could go on, but you get the picture. I am not just going to sit back while the "good ole boys" club together and rubbish everyone else, or try to steer game development to suit their own ends. As far as I know, it does not violate BBS policy. This is a discussion board, and not a changes instigated as a fait accompli board.
Sorry to take the thread waaaaaay off topic. Fed up with being slapped down by the "good ole boys" who think they represent majority opinion.
That is my last word in this thread.
