Tank Town griefed by rooks, again
« on: October 02, 2008, 11:46:36 AM »
Now find the culprits and let's burn them! :devil

Seriously, why aren't those airfields uncapturable?  I don't care about the vbases so long as the airfields remain up.  It's the most fun part of the whole map (LWO) and it never lasts for more than a day or two.

FYI, we've been able to designate airfields as uncapturable in the ava, so it doesn't require a map update.

Tank town should be treated as any other base type on the map.  If tank town is important to folks though, I would highly recommend that those who find it important spend time defending it.  It matters little to me one way or another.

I don't spend more than 2 min's a month there but it's a large map, there are plenty of other fields to take.

Seriously though, it is a shame that some which to be such griefers.

Would be nice to get the map back that had the 30k hills around FT and if I remember correctly, ord disabled.  The good old furball lake days.

Obviously missed the point Sir, so I will give you a chance to retract your insult before we begin a totally useless flame thread.

I don't WHICH (LOL) or WISH (I think you meant to say) to be a griefer.  So make sure of what has been said and what was intended before you start stroking someones ankles with smilies Sir.

Obviously thick and spoiling for something to harp about.  Here is your explanation...I fly Knights, and I am pretty sure GAVAGAI does also.  It was the Knights portion of tank town taken last night.  So obviously the griefers are from the Rooks, as it is impossible for me to capture friendly fields on behalf of the enemy.  So as I said, it matters little to me if it was taken, and it obviously matters little to the majority of the Knights that it was taken.  If it mattered, the Knights would have defended or attempted to recapture the bases.  Now do you understand where I am coming from?  If not will I gladly provide informational books with short sentences made of simple words and lots of pictures for you to understand the Knights obvious lack of concern about this situation.

False conditional.  Just because I like tank town to be playable doesn't mean I'll pay attention to it all the time, nor should I have to.

HTC can fix this problem so easily, why won't they do it?

First off I agree with gavagi. Waystin, the people who like it arnt defending it because they have spawned away from there field to the center of the map WHERE the fight is.

Im a gang twit.

Nope. Unfortunately there will always be those that enjoy the feel of grabbing dirt in ACES High that is uncontested.  If I remember correctly, the Knights fields in tank town were gone when I logged in around 11:00 PM Eastern Time last night.  Did they get captured during Prime Time hours?

Because he gave the players the necessary tools to do it, it's called 'Defense'.  I know, a novel concept for those that expect everything handed to them without putting forth any effort.

So if you folks lost it and it was important to you, then you should have kept the rabid Rook horde at bay by defending it.  I will not coddle those who feel that they need a portion of the map reserved for their personal DA stlye use in the middle of a three way battle in the Late War Arena.  This is what the DA is for.  HTC made them capturable.  The rooks took them away.  So take them back if you want them.
