Aces High General Discussion / Re: 25% limit on country base capture

« Last post by ZE on Yesterday at 05:41:50 PM »

Most often it's Knits getting clubbed.

During my usual flying hours ( 5 - 9 pm CST ), I also noted that Knits are frequently having a hard time fighting two countries. Limiting the number of captures base seen reasonable...

Aces High General Discussion / Re: 25% limit on country base capture

« Last post by Animl-AW on Yesterday at 05:22:18 PM »

If practical, I suggest the base capture limit per country be 25%.  As an example, the Rooks took 30% of the bish bases last night.  That would be limited to 25%.

When two countries join to attack one country, you can drive players out of the game.  Nothing worse to sign on AH and find you have limited battle fronts.  This is especially true if you have to fly in troops.

Not a huge problem but a 25% limit might help when two countries attack one country.

I've been saying this for 1-2 yrs. It only becomes relevant when one is on the receiving end. Most often it's Knits getting clubbed.
We're asking the players to police themselves....<blank stare>.

I've watched 12 knits up and drop stick and leave. We have sqds that will milk-run bases on their sqd nights. They only stop when taking a cpl bases on the opposing side wins the map.

This si where the game breaks down under critical mass of 110-120. Settings weren't planned for under CM.

The O' Club / Re: A 50 year mortgage..

« Last post by Animl-AW on Yesterday at 05:12:55 PM »

Stop voting for morons. The people control who is in office. If the people vote stupid we get stupid.

SO a 50 yr mortgage at 40 yrs old, you'll be paying until death when you have much less. Dumbest thing I ever heard, but not shocked by the source of the idiocy. How about just make things cheaper instead of feeding billionaire crybabies at our expense.

Yep, you prolly figured out by now, you are paying for tariffs that are a funnel to empty your pockets with higher taxes to funnel to their pockets in tax breaks. It's a funneling scam. He's not going to fix a problem he gets rich off of.

Again, facts beat some in the face and they turn over stones looking for a justification to avoid the obvious. Fact is, you've been scammed.

The O' Club / Re: AI in a box

This at least I will agree with.  It is a serious concern.

But with things like the DGX Spark, LLM are going to start being brought in-house.

My company does a lot of work with teams behind security walls.  We are looking in that direction.

I agree that there is a huge bubble in AI companies like there were in the early internet days.  There will be a bloodbath in consolidation.  That's healthy Capitalism.  Creative Destruction.

The technology, like the internet, is not going anywhere.

The same issues apply with SaaS and Cloud. If you get a peak under the skirt of some SaaS/Cloud products like those from MS it will give your security team endless sleepless nights

Ya, those ice caps melting away, which keeps the jet stream cooler, is just an illusion.

Some people will believe a myth over facts beating them right in the face. It's not the scientist I question on sanity.

fyi the Quest 3 and Quest 3s are two different things.

Yes, I'm aware. I was comparing the quest 2 to the quest 3s. It was a typo. I think I explained it in detail with he comparison of the two.

Aces High General Discussion / Re: Offline Missions with Custom Skins

Offline missions are locked to the default skins for some reason. The aircraft loadouts are also fixed, so adding any sort of aircraft options must not be an easy thing to add.

Aces High General Discussion / Re: Multiple accounts

« Last post by Animl-AW on Yesterday at 05:00:03 PM »

I pray we dont see the harm, I can easily visualize it though.  Maybe I'll pay the extra $15 come January to highlight how multi accounts are OP in protest.

So you're willing to abuse it to exaggerate a point the other may not be doing. Now you become a problem when they are not.

I think some just over-think things and fester on their imagination.

Posting it here to us will change zero. We only have opinions, HT has the last word, the short way home. AND it just gives others ideas. NEVER EVER talk about any form of hack in public view. That can be more harmful than one incident.
