Waystin, pass the excedrin and a brewski... 
..never knew ardy was a loose cannon AH BBS badboy. And here I thought in real life he was an executive in a multinational corporation.......
The premis of this thread has about as much validity as the family argument at Thanksgiving over light and dark meat. There is a moral about the end result in here some place. Personaly I like the stuffing and a good red wine. Some people like the mashed potatoes smothered in gravey and slices of breast with a dry white wine. Now pecan pie to me is much better than pumpkin pie.....
By the end of the dinner it's all leftovers and garbage. Next year same time, same place, same argument. Heck depending on the family they even argue over how many times to flush to be courtious. Once for the solids. Twice for the floaters and your mommas nose. Bet there are families that argue over the brand, ply and how may times to wipe.
Looks like we got some 3 plyers, two flushers and dry white breast men in this old argument.......some thanksgivings I change things up with a goose, boar, duck, suckling pig even sushi and a half gallon of sake. The best was a whole roasted lamb, root vegetables in the coals and a 25 year old single malt.
So I guess this one gets updated to the BBS complaint database under:
I'm pissed because you won't play the game the way I want you to because I am an expert on how the game should be played. Subcatigory: Only accomplished 1 vs. 1 deulists really know how to play this game.
So, red or white wine with this whine?
lol bustr.
I just stated my experience fighting them... thats it.
If you want to talk about game dynamics and how behaviors impact it, ok.
It changes the game dynamic so that its all about numbers and not skill but to single out LD for that would be ludicrous because there are many many squads that rely on numbers to achieve their goals.
Now, the claim is that LD takes the numbers game to a new level by being skillful in working together making the sum greater than the parts. Ok, congratulations...
The only outcome of this is, once recognized, for the most part, people who are in smaller groups are just going to avoid your group. Quickly we find ourself back at, 'everyone is being timid, none wants to fight'. When in reality, no one wants to fight you, because they don't find it fun. Bottom line, if there is no chance of fulfillment for the either party, they will have no interest in engaging you, leaving both you and the other party bored. Fulfillment doesn't mean 'a kill', it may be as simple as a halfway decent fight.
Personally, to be truly 'fair', all squads would have to be the same size and on at the same time, or none is allowed to fly together as a squad. The bottom line is that individual skill can only take a person so far, hell, I'm not even a top stick and I've successfully taken on a horde, but if the horde is good and organized, I don't have a chance.
Of course the 'Thats how war is' argument always comes up, but unlike real war, if you die, you return to the tower, so death doesn't quite have the impact on sliming the horde, as the dead player quickly re-ups, flys for 2 min and is back in the fight. As long as one side has numbers, they will usually win. Also, because numbers play such a destabilizing impact on the outcome, often, unlike other games where the more time one puts in, the more success one achieves, the lack of this relationship causes the bulk of the friction.
Imagine a soccer game where one side has more players... unless its a purposeful handy cap, it quickly becomes not fun... hence why soccer games have rules about the number of players each team can have on the field at one time.
Ok enough of my rant on how organized chaos plays out.
