Open letter
« on: February 13, 2011, 04:00:07 PM »
Dear Mr. General,

I tried.

I stayed loyal to your AH country for 44 days now. High ENY, low ENY, hording or being horded. I was killing the enemy left and right to the benefit of flag & countrymen. I even stayed in the arena  and defended our turf when you where "getting sick of all that defense" and went to the other arena, where we had the numbers and the horde on our side.

But I can't bear it anymore.

Why is it that those who do expect that kind of loyalty make it so hard to stay loyal to them? Does it really rally the fighting spirits if you tell everybody how much "WE SUCK" ... six times an hour?
Don't you feel silly when happily taking advantage of a huge battle the other two countries have, to grab a few undefended bases - yet one hour later, when the tide has turned, you yell "THEY NEVER FIGHT EACH OTHER!". You have no problems ignoring the enemy's ENY limit, because you do notice ENY only when it hurts us. But then of course it's all clear: "THEY NEVER HAVE ENY LIKE WE DO". And yes, Sir, there is a difference between relative and absolute numbers. 50 to 30 is something different than 150 to 130, even if it's both 20 players difference. Do you really believe that certain squads over there make half their members log off with the sole purpose to screw our ENY or ease their own?
Do you actually expect answers on ever repeating questions like "Why is A100 not porked?" Do you realize that if you say "Why did nobody defend V34? We are such a joke!", you are part of the joke yourself?

If you constantly tell us how much better "they" are, how much better organized - do you think that helps? Obviously  your "Great Book of  Leadership and Motivation"  has only one single rule: "Insult, belittle, annoy your comrades until they follow your orders!"
Victory through negativity? Does constant whining really increase the number of your minions?

I for one have enough of this.
No matter how many goons or M3's I kill, how many noes I bust or how many bombers never dropped their load on our CV, I'm still a lame furballer to you because I didn't follow any of your other orders or even questioned your strategic genius when I dared to think an enemy airbase near our HQ is more important than some remote Vbase that spawns nowhere.
So if I'm taking flak just for being on your side and part of "this bunch of losers", then I can resort to my old side switching ways again. You can't be pleased anyway.
So nice people on all sides can again expect my help when I happen to be on their side. I will be loyal to what ever chesspiece I'm on at the moment, but when the whiners take over the countrychannel again and my squelch filter is filling up, I'm gone again.

P.S. Do you know you have an evil twin "over there" who also believes "their CV's take more ords to sink, their tanks have thicker armor and they can shoot through hills"? It's just that he thinks it's his side that HiTech and AH is biased against. Amazing, isn't it?

See ya busting your 20+ NOE! Slurp!  :P

Well put Snailman.

The same "furball" whines are on every side.  I spend most of my time defending (not slaying them left and right like you, but I do my part) and hear the exact same things almost every day.  In LWO, I am a nit because they are almost always numbers deficient.  Took a screenie of one of the rants:




In LWB, I am mostly bishie and sometimes a rookie because they are numbers deficient (nits with numbers).  Here is a screenie of a bishie whine:



The generals are only happy when you do everything they want and where they want it.  The "we suck" whines are not exactly endearing them to their countrymen.  :lol
