I feel like such a goof.  It should have been obvious sooner.
Nits just don't like to fly any further than their own fields.  Doh!

Today, some of us worked all morning on the SE side of the orange map.  Had one base to go and we'd have the Rook HQ camped.
Couldn't get enough pilots there to help BECAUSE IT WAS TOO FAR TO FLY...LOL.

Within a 45 minutes, rooks organized and took the whole SE side of the map back.

So much easier to play at the NW side of map and defend, defend, defend.  Never had to fly outside the dar ring.

Ok nits, if I can't convince you otherwise I guess I'll just join in the everlasting furball. :rock


uh oh........

No, you're not trying to expand anyone's mindset.  You are trying to belittle those that don't play your way to play your way.  Failing to do that, you post your whines and rants trying to convince others to play your way.


ack-ack

Yes ack-ack.  You're absolutely right.
This is why there are so few generals and so many privates.

What's wrong with not wanting to fly half an hour to drop a bomb on some buildings instead of staying in the fun fight where you are? :confused:

Absolutely nothing.  I'm flying bombers to A30 as I write this.  Creative minds find creative ways to keep themselves entertained.

  If you kill FH to take a field...          you might be a bish
  If you join large missions...             you might be a bish
  If you cheer for winning the war...   you might be a bish
  If your K/D is under 0.5                  you might be a bish

This is why there are so few generals and so many privates.

You ask those privates if they're having fun doing what they're doing and they'll tell you "Yes!".  Ask the little Napoleans if they're having fun, they'll say "NO, whoopee privates!".   

I guess I'm glad I'm a "private" and having fun.

You forgot a few...


If you took down posters of hot chicks in bathing suits to put up a life size poster of ghi                   you might be a Bish
If you think a "fight" is you and your 50 closest friends vulching the same 2 weeker repeatedly           you might be a Bish
If after the enemy takes a zone base you abandon everything to go milk factories for points              you might be a Bish
If you pray for HUGE maps and set your alarm for 3am to reset the Small Maps                                 you might be a Bish










<disclaimer: this is just in good fun, none of this is true...well except for the ghi poster one> ;)

For some of us there isn't.  I've been playing online flight sims for a lot longer than you have, around 15 years now...

NOOB!... oh I mean... WTG!  :aok

Jokes aside... normally when I log in there are two or three sectors of knits attacking the Bish.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

Hey, I AM a Bish and I didn't get a Ghi poster  :frown:

Seriously, I do a little of eveything just because I enjoy the diversity but I couldn't care less if we are winning or losing the war, nor do I attempt to implore others to play my way.  On the other hand, if I put out a call for help at a field I usually get enough takers to repel the attack or to help take the field.

Mostly, I just want someone to fight against.  That's what it's all about after all.

I had a 60 member squad in AW in ~'97 and did the win the war thing.  Now I'm in a 2 person squad and fly solo most of the time.  I have more fun now.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
