Since Titanic Tuesday ended POTW has used Tuesday night as our squad night. I cannot remember us not doing squad night all of these years. We launch between 12-24 pigs and we go break things and shoot down red icons for 2 or so hours every Tuesday night. We don't run away, we get mostly abandoned by our country for what ever issues cause them to leave us holding the bag. Sooo, we double down and break more stuff and make life as horrible as possible for anything with a red icon that comes near us.

And like clock work all of these years just like Waystin described it, when we get in the air as POTW the red guys go somewhere else. They do come back "if" they can get their whole country to fight us. Even numbers, that lasts just so long and suddenly POTW is alone over an empty field.

This must be why POTW always gets the stinky end of the stick in FSO. Over the years we have gotten used to the smell and it terrifies the red guys to be attacked by crazy smelly people beating them with stinky sticks.
again see above post, and yes when you bring that many no one will up except for a few anti-horders that is

you may want to rethink that whole statement of rtb from the field, as I don't want to get into in this thread but one cant upped from a capped and takes a bit of time to get there when upping from one further back as you did. I turn your attention to exhibit a in "chutes not opening". hard to get that film when not defending a capped vulched base sir. best day to you.
I gave you girls two freebies on the runway.  How many times do I need to up at that field to make you happy Flippth?  Of course I came at you with some parity from a field further back.  Where did you girls go after that?  Easier pickings in a safer horde I am sure.   Even the jet left.  Of course Drudge had to protect her score.  RTB in fear I tell ya.  Never saw you ladies the rest of the night.  :aok

This is an eternal argument: one guy gets the upper hand over another guy, so the other guy ups from further back, returns, and gains the upper hand over the first guy, then the first guy egresses.  Who occupies the higher moral ground?  The guy that was smart and left the fight area first to up further back instead of getting pounced upon on the runway, or the guy that got the upper hand first and had his way and drove the second guy back.  Talk amongst yourselves.

Many of the WWII films I've seen said that having alt is a good thing.
Guess they were wrong huh?

They also were able to instantly reup 25 miles maximum from the action seconds after being shot down, or god forbid killed, because there were unlimited lives in WWII...  :old:

Umm, I was just talking about altitude.  Didn't want to delve too deep into things.
Glad you did though.   :rock

When I first got to that fight you guys had GVs on the field, rolling into town, 4 fighters over the field and a Dar bar coming in....I logged off when it was a green blob over your field....

Waystins observation of that particular fight is absolutely correct....the bishops vanished like a fart in the wind after they started to have to actual fight.

But the only issue with that is that there is nothing HTC can do to change that....and when people like me call people like that out for doing it....I get pointed out as the bad guy...but hey you guys do you, I can at least count on FSO and KOTH for good fights. Both of which have set rules which force people to fight.

Maybe that's were the disconnect is.  4 Bishop fighters over a knight field isn't the same thing as a green blob of Knight fighters over a Bishop field. 

And was this over field A78? North side of that western island, early evening EST?  I was there when the red blob arrived, bunch of ponies iirc.  It was fun.  Lasted like an hour or so, and then it stopped.

No, it wasn't and the horde was over the rook field...then ended up over the bish field in opposite fashion. Their players vanished in droves and the only time they were fighting was with alt, with numbers, or with HOs.....and sometimes all at the same time....Viper66, Gremlin and one other stuck around for a minute...I respect those type of players(not when they HO me though)

As the "Pigs" fight for Rook at the moment and they were fighting Bish..... where do the Knights you keep talking about come in?

Usually with alt and numbers and they won't get their feet wet unless they have numbers. At least since POTW left the knights they finally got motivated and do something instead of disappereing all the time leaving POTW out in cold with a red cloud to fight. Towards the end of being on the knights side we would avoid green guys and go break our own choice of targets to pick a fight. Problem was the green guys kept following us around getting in the way, then leaving us with the stinky end of the stick to deal with.

At least last night no one gave us a reason to up the POTW 30mm armed Blowdryer wing and hunt them down. Very few get away from us, after all these years we have the perks.
