Unless you concider yourself superior somehow and all those that don't follow your Shining Path are a sub-level varient of a cartoon plane player. Yeah, I know...you do.
And now per Mars you get to be refered to As Holers.

Having known Dan/Slack/+Tiff/Corky/Guppy35 for nearly 8 years now, at least, I can say you could not possibly be more wrong if you had gone out and made every effort. The guy is one of the few true gentlemen of the game and of the community. And he always has been. I count myself VERY lucky to call him friend. He's the LAST person I can think of who would be a griefer.
With regards to the subject at hand, there's no doubt at all who the griefers are in this situation. Anyone who would be so thoughtless as to capture the FT area of the donut map is without a doubt a griefer.
I play the game both ways, I play the base capture side as well as the furball side. What truly pisses me off is for people (and there are some here in this thread, and they know exactly who they are) to
DEMAND that I go and do what
THEY want to do with
MY time, and those people who would intentionally try to prevent others from playing their side of the game by doing something so thoughtless and stupid as bombing, vulching, or capturing bases in a small area that contains 3 bases of absolutely no real strategic value.
To go and either bomb, vulch, or capture those three bases at FT because the people there won't do what you want only shows ignorance and arrogance.
As a Rook myself, I'm saddened that some Rooks did something like that, but knowing some of the Rooks and how upset they get because this map comes around and some of us like to spend
OUR TIME at FT, it does not surprise me at all. I will say there are Knights and Bishops that would do it if they had the chance. I hope none of my friends were involved.
I'll say this, I'll be the first to say that if/when I do get time to come back, if the same thing happens again, I'll be among the very first to help organize as many furballers, or "a"holers, as possible to conduct retaliation raids.
Like I said, I play both as a base taker and as a furballer. I'll be damned if I'll tamely submit while some griefer decides to force me to play the game he/they want.
