Open letter

[Soulyss]

I'll have to admit to being amused at the confused and cautionary tones on vox when I show up at a fight I was just on the other side of.


I also seem to get less flack these days since I started announcing my presence on the new country, I figure fewer people are going to think I'm up to something sneaky if I tell everyone I'm there.

[Torcher]

Yep, the toilet bowl Generaling and extend whines have caused many a squelch-filled session.

High ENY = no problem. Just climb in the ole D25 for some fun. Try it, you'll like it.

[RufusLeaking]

Who’s pissing off Lusche? If he quits, who will do the graphs and charts?

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?

I often think this. If one wants the darn ords porked, then one should up and pork the ords! Same thought goes for defending against a horde. If you aren’t diving into the masses, don’t whine about it.

…but when the whiners take over the countrychannel again and my squelch filter is filling up, I'm gone again.

This is an excellent method to signal that it is time to switch. 

I have been a lone ranger, side switcher for about a year. It is not about spying at all. In fact, when I switch, I try to go against the third country, not the side I just left. Sometimes, I switch to a side to fly with a base taking squad. Sometimes, I look to oppose such a squad. It’s all good. It’s all fun.

The answer is simple. Switching countries makes you a ZOMG SP1311!!!!!!!!

I got better things to do with my time than tell some other country where a CV is. Who cares where it is.. I am too focused on learning to be a better fighter peelot.. Do not believe in cheating at the game. Usually the country I log on to is where I stay for the rest of the time I am on..

ya, ya, laaa-deee-daaa...

I put the 'i in spieeeeee', or the 'eye in spy', or '1 in 5P13', or.. wtf.. who cares.......

fight the red guys!

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!  

Come knits, we luv u long time.

I have been playing with same squad and  country since joining the game. Recently quit my squad and started playing alone on the Rook, Bish  and Knit sides when numbers are lowest . I have enjoyed seeing and playing the game from a different perspective other than Bishop..  I think more squads, players should be open to changing countries from time to time. I found that endless nonstop base taking for 1.5 years can get boring after awhile..

Logged into the Knit country last week, and in less than 10 minutes a Bish came on to call me a traitor for leaving my squad and going Knit. I am not a Knit, Bish or Rook now. I play on any side I want..   Why is it not possible to change countries and play on the side with the lowest numbers without getting called a traitor? Some guys take this stuff way too seriously. LOL

Welcome to the dark side 

[choker41]

All those screen shots and not once did I see a Bish General name come up.  I will report these allegations to my C.O. immediately.

                                                                                                Sincerely,

  I hear ya, Lusche. But, I'm guessin' you're gonna find the same thing going on among the Bishops and Knights as well.
Lately, the Rook country text buffer has gotten to the point where some guys are typing up "to all Rooks"  lines
with stuff that'd earn 'em a punch in the mouth in any bar this side of the Mississipi. I gotta wonder where
all the "moderators" are when this is goin' on. I've "reported" some of it via the Roster right-click, but it
keeps on going, and going, and...
  Some of our "generals" have gotten a bit too full of themselves, methinks.

Regards,
      Oddball

lol Lusche, i remember this evening, A33 A30

there were a couple of generals, so i muted them.
