You should.  You're fun in the mosh.

Why so frustrating?


Its frustrating because I dont fly with the blob of green horders. I like to switch and fight the side that has numbers.
You log in, look to see what country has least numbers, switch over to help them out, 2 hours later they have numbers. You are stuck with the horde so you log out.
I wont come back until that time is changed. I was to see some effort put in to it.

Tell me, what would you do to balance the countries in the game?
What you're saying here basically is that you feel if the time was reduced too many people would switch and make countries unbalanced?

Well, what about someone else's idea recently, then?

Make it so you can switch to the country with lowest numbers without penalty, or with reduced penalty, but switching to the unbalanced country have full penalty.

What about just reducing it to 6 hours? Even that would be unimaginably better than 12 hours.

Why was it changed to 12 hours period? To keep down on 'spies' ? That must be a joke.

This game was so much more fun for a lot of us when it was 1 hour side switch times. I know a lot of the community thinks this is too little, and that's fine, as I said I think a lot of us would settle for even 4 or 6 hours.

It's not offered as a 'counter argument' Blu...  Just a statement.  Think bigger man.  As I just asked BP for his reasons on his distraught?

Less adversarial posting ...deep breaths...maybe we'll get somewhere.


I was mostly referring to how hap said "he had never heard it on range", since you had quoted him and said "same here never"

my point is, just because you don't feel there is a problem or haven't heard people around you complaining, doesn't mean they don't exist and are not a major problem.

Nor do I ever...except the blob I bring myself.  The blob often follows us...and ruins the fun...that is a given.

I understand your feelings.  I guess I enjoy my mates so much we can somehow find a way to have fun.

Too me...the most important change needs to be small maps only!  That should have been done long ago now.

That I understand.

4 to 6 hours isnt much better considering most people only play 3 to 4 hours a night, if that.
And yes, the spies thing is completely laughable.

It's better than logging on at 8 AM before school/work and switching countries because 1.) there's 40 people online and no fights on this side, or 2.) because your friend is on the other side, and still being stuck on that country for another FIVE hours after you get home from school at 3PM or for 3 more hours after you get home from work at maybe 5PM

I, personally, don't have any problem with the 12 hour rule, or a 48 hour rule, or a NEVER rule. As Stampf said, I find a way to have fun. I'm a knight, and the fact is like minded players seem to find each other. That's why bish are no talent horders, and rooks are little better. They run to ack, they do whatever so as not to "hurt their score/rank". That's fine with me, they pay, they can play the way they want to. I would have to take multiple hot showers to wash the stench off if I went bish....and I only have a 40 gallon water heater. SKuzzy, give the whiners what they want...they're never gonna shut up til you do what they want...just like they'll never shut up till people play the game the way they think it should be played. Yes, I know there's negative in this post, but frankly, I'm tire of the entire BBS being monopolized by them.

No thanks...I see how they "play the game". Not my cup of tea. If I played like them, I'd fly with them. I'm just tired of the complainers. They tire me listening to them in-game. I personally think that those who threaten, change the rule or I'm not playing, should do so. It ruins the game for me, hearing it on vox.

If you did you would find they are pretty much the same. You see what you want to see.

That's funny, when I log on and "there's noone to fight" and I go hit a base, someone ALWAYS, ALWAYS!!!!  finds me. If you play the game looking for only one thing, then I suppose itno fun. Two options, change the way you play or find another game. To complain endlessly, when no change is going to happen is truly the definition of insanity...doing the same thing over and over,yet getting the same result.

Oh hush!  Bear, how does calling someone "ignorant" work in your hometown?  Such scurrility.

I didn't say he was ignorant, I said the assertion one chess piece is superior to another is.
