mERv,
You describe so fondly what I consider the worst gameplay behavior in AH. Running multiple accounts to "win da war", or spending 8 of your worthless hours to ruin my precious 45 minutes game session, are not what made this game great.

Agree 100%!       :aok

I was wondering if it was just a joke.

Oh no.  They really think they did something when they did that.  They actually made HT Change The Game, which I am sure gives them warm fuzzy feelings every night when they go to sleep.

When you're playing a multiplayer game, and the absolute perfect execution of your plan produces gameplay that is indistinguishable from offline mode and a Discord server, I question the value of that contribution to the game.

Me too.... I can't imagine someone actually being proud of that.

Shade accounts have little to nothing to do with the behavior of the OP being criticized.

This is about him and his friends avoiding other players in order to negatively alter the gameplay of those other players. That is called griefing.

49ers where fun, they always offered a lot of free kills during their base takes. My double ace sortie achievement was earned in a Brewster defending against them.

Dang and here I gave them roads to drive un-obstructed to the strats if they can sneak a vBase in the backfield of any country. They could have run a convoy of tanks and supply M3 with them and shot up strats and trains.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Except, of course, for GV dar.

Anyone trying anything like that nowadays will not live very long. Or will divert some players who otherwise would be fighting and making the game more dynamic into an isolated game-within-a-game of hide and seek.
