Outside a few gaps here and there , since '05 .

So what you meant was, since you've been playing it's always been this way.

I've got some years on ya, and I would disagree with you on that.

Now that you mention it Fugative, I do vaugly remember the Sunday night seal clubbing.


SmokinLoon, while I think bigger, longer-lasting fights are a good thing, I don't think bigger, longer-lasting fights are a good thing when 1 side has 90% of the increased numbers, and it only lasts longer because the higher-skilled defenders kill the troops.

From the time an attacking dar-bar appears a sector or two away to the time a few defenders appear over the field is hardly worth mentioning.  Also, if there are 20+ heavy P51D's inbound it doesnt matter how many or how high the defenders get.  There are enough P51D's that even if 1 or 2 get intercepted by the brave enough 109x, the hangers still get destroyed, the ack still gets wiped out, and the town still gets flattened.  Once everything is down the few brave souls that upped simply get picked and sent back to tower.  I know it isnt any fun for the defenders, and I cant for the life of me figure out how being a part of the 20v1 horde is any fun either.  It is like being a bench warmer on a winning team, i.e.: they still get the "winz" behind their name.  Oh well....

But isnt in the Vmanual that if the fight is over here>>>>>, you guys horde over there<<<<.

playing to soley piss off other players I thought goes against Pyro's rule of "dont be a dick"

[Tank-Ace]

It does, which is why I'm astonished the v-dweebs haven't all recieved permentant bans  .

Part of the problem is ENY isn't strong enough. For example, last night the rooks had 50% more players than either the knits or the bish.What happened was, everyone who was rook went to the nearest dar bar, even if it was mainly green. This had a dog pile effect on the hording, because not only did they have more players, all the players were concentrated where other players from the same team were.

This behavior is not surprising as people want to be where others are, but it does show that ENY is not effective enough as a counter balance to greater country numbers.

Just do a search in general forums...one word..... horde , you'll see I'm right . This is one of the oldest dead horses in the forums.

I'm flattered but I prefer working with around a dozen or so at most.

Again... this wasn't a complaint about hording in general.  Please read the original posting.  This was a complaint about the motivation behind those doing the hording.

I love a target rich environment.  I don't enjoy people who's motivation is to make the game unplayable for others.  The point of playing online is playing with others... something some people obviously never learned how to do.

With the amount of people in vtard raids they should be able to stomp 6 bases at a time...but yet they will just use the mass hoard to take 1 base

Don't need to do a search.  Having been here quite a bit longer then you.  The definition of a horde has changed considerably.  Most of us who've been around a while would gladly go back to what was seen as a 'horde' in the early days.  There is no comparison to the 'horde' of today.
