Zazen please help us with this one!

Interesting.
I remember zazen advocated a policy that would not award kills for vulching, and was proved wrong.

No I wasn't. Causing four of five career vulchers to spam a thread in temper tantrum hysteria does not  = proved wrong...

I still give credit to Zazen for one of the funniest posts i've ever read:

I have long studied the "birds of a feather flock together" phenomena in AH. Rather than write a lengthy essay on it, I will sum it up for you...



Bish Mentality: One toolshed is worth 1,000 deaths. Bish will suicide themselves in a frenzy of mindless HO'ing or pork n 'augering if it means even the tiniest hope of taking a field. There is nothing sacred to a Bish when it comes to landgrabbing, the ends justify the means. From a fighter pilot's perspective I find Bish have a much lower skill quotient in general than the other two countries.There are exceptions but if I see a swarm of HO'ing Lgay7's and Spit16s spiral diving after a wingless fuselage, I don't have to look at their icon to know they're Bish..



Knight Mentality: Knights really like to establish CAP and farm kills, not necessarily by design. A distinct lack of bomber pilots and people who generally fly heavy means long periods of vulching. Knights will tend to establish CAP over a field and vulch patiently for hours while their lone buff dude flies back and forth taking town down and fetching troops. From a fighter pilot's perspective Knights have a broad spectrum of skill levels of relatively equal proportion, from the guy who can only get kills vulching to the steeley eyed predators.


Rook Mentality: Rooks tend to be all about the furball. Base taking is completely secondary to the furball. Generally, Rooks will dogpile a good furball until the point their numbers create a situation where taking the enemy's base at the other side is the only thing left to do, so they do it. Rooks therefore tend to end up gang-banging alot, because they are individually drawn compulsively to the largest concentration of aircraft on the map. From a fighter pilot's perspective Rooks have a much higher proportion of the category I refer to as the predator, usually experienced fighter pilots who do alot of killing and relatively little dying, so tend to fly higher than average.

-From a thread regarding how to select a side or something along those lines.

How long you been playing SubwayCH?

I know I'm tired and a bit cranky tonite, but that's so much BS it isn't even funny.  Having bounced to all the countries for a long time now, it's all the same. 

You've got the sheep who like to be lead in a pack and hope they can survive with numbers while feeling some success, and you have the wolves who just want to kill them or fight other wolves if they get lucky enough to find one hiding among the sheep.

Oh i know Corky, I've only been around since tour 75. I still thought it was pretty funny. I've only been a bish and a knight, but I think I can completely agree that its the same on everyones side.

I just the "One toolshed is worth an 1,000 deaths" line was hysterical

like me, corky thought you dictated that post rather than realising it is a copy and paste of one of Zaz's mind spools from somewhere else.

I seek the truth, advocate it and challenge people to prove me wrong. Either way I win.

If no one can prove me wrong, I successfully extracted the essential truth of the matter and wielded it like a finely crafted sword to cut through extraneous untruths.

If I end up being proved wrong, I can reverse engineer my rationale to fathom where my logic pathway went astray then apply that epiphany born by failure to improve my future reasoning.

It really doesn't matter to me where "the troops line up". I generally read the overarching concept. Write my response based on my intellectual investigations then read the responses of my peers throughout the discussion. I do the same thing when I handicap thoroughbred races for race tracks. I don't look at morning line odds someone else generated. I calculate my winners based on my unadulterated perception of them, only when it gets to betting time do I concern myself with odds.

So in otherwords you do lots of drugs and drink too? Got it.
