Sensei, why are you bothering with this? It(and they) is(are) beneath you.
It SHOULD BE beneath ALL OF US. This DOES NOT HELP...I understand the need to get your points out there and understood by those to whom those points are directed....DONE. Now let it GO for the good of the game.PLEASE I feel like I am going through a DIVORCE and find myself picking sides. DONT WANT TOO. I love and respect ALL you guys..so please STOP :salute

If the  MA is set up for the ENY to become disabled once the arena drops below a certain number of players, how does that make it unfair in any possible way?

I see it as a win or gain for all 3 countries/sides.....regardless if your side is extremely outnumbered or not....

Let your skill and abilities do your talking for you

Or have I missed the reason for this thread of possibilities of ideas to fix something that doesn't really need to be slapped around?

Sensei,

Some ugly-minded forum members are going to have a field day thinking I insist you call me this to be adored. The real reason would not compute  :rofl


Or have I missed the reason for this thread of possibilities of ideas to fix something...

Yes you did a little bit. After the other thread was locked I could not access the forum or website for 24 hours so thought I'd been PNGed. Have sort of asked if this topic was off limits. Still waiting.

Rapidly losing any will to contribute further tbh TC  :)

You must didn't catch  Skuzzy's announcement post about the AH BBS would be going down while they were updating the website to be changed from HTTP to HTTPS (unsecured to secured)

You and all the rest of us could not access it ....me personally couldn't get to the  boards 3 or 4 different times

I find Bustr much more capable, in that regard. Seems there's a cadre of players that really get miffed at his bringing up his experience with terrain making and dedicated mindset to understand both the mechanics and stated desires of the community as well as the practical constraints HT must work within to produce a good game (though he's the one member of the community devoted to such). He has mentioned the apparent attitudes of players whose egos drive their opinions and mistake such for expertise and I guess that stirs their pot. However, I do appreciate how much he doesn't let those types of players drag him off message.

No, we get miffed at the constant finger pointing and air of superiority.  It's rather off-putting.  And as Shida has pointed out, his motives are not genuine, IMHO.   He has a bias against "ACM Sharks" for some reason.   I think Goose's line in Top Gun expresses the sentiment: "They were abused children" as in getting spanked in aerial combat by the Skyyr's or the world.

Shida? Well, he can pretend to be such but he always seems to devolve into hurt feelings and dug in heels. I find his regular need to make fun of Bustr's heart attacks both juvenile and beneath contempt. He's the kinda guy you hafta massage constantly. He may have potential but he's not willing to take a shot to the ego for the team.

And .... before this goes further (if it does) .... I've made my observation and said my piece. May this .... productive thread .... produce something worthy (in spite of .... whatever .... self included).

Bustr really had heart attacks?  I thought that was just hyperbole.  So we have our very own Larry King here then.   Wow.

You were not PNGed, they were in the process of moving the web servers and ran into some problems.

The topic is not off limits as long as the conversation stays on topic, remains civil, and proceeds with respect to all included, HTC especially.

He did.  A year or so ago, if memory serves.  Possibly more.

Shouldn't matter.  There's no need for Bustr to generally attack "sharks," and no need to respond by attacking Bustr.  HTC does not give people perk points for clever repartee.  It only makes our collective group look small.

I did not see notification and assumed your IP was blocked from the website completely when PNGed. Ping packets were returned. A natural conclusion given the context but actually bad timing.

When are you bringing that Vought Corsair of yours into the Match Play Arena TC? So few do. I'd stay up late for that  :rock

Evidently we were unaware and using it as a satirical commentary equivalent to the 'blood, sweat & tears' portrait Bustr painted about MA map-making. Which discouraged others to tackle the endeavour. Obviously would not wish such a thing or wilfully mock a person in that way  over differences of ideology in a computer game.


The topic is not off limits as long as the conversation stays on topic,

Yeah, I did have some interesting creative suggestions to make as alternatives to ENY in off-peak hours. In the light of recent analysis & game-changing agreement from people in high places I think the MA should be left just exactly as it is & players can simply log off quietly when an off-peak imbalance arises. Best solution all round.


There's no need for Bustr to generally attack "sharks," and no need to respond by attacking Bustr.

No, we get miffed at the constant finger pointing and air of superiority.  It's rather off-putting.

Well the main thing is that some people completely fail to notice or choose to ignore the ongoing passive-aggressive attacks on something some people are passionate about and are able to act out their Marvel Comic fantasies of leaping to the defence of the 'innocent' by ironically resorting to the exact tactic they abhor. Which is of course different when they are doing it.

You know what's ironic old friend? I've never allowed myself to think this way about others for fear of being arrogant. Perhaps you could teach me how to ignore people. My final AH lesson?  :)

If that's long-speak/excuse-mode complain/whining about people who smack forum members for acting like bullies being bullies them-self, I'm glad there was a nerve that got touched. You still owe Bustr an apology, imo (because that took the long and roundabout method to avoid one). If you can muster the apparently extreme amount of courage it would take to do that then I may feel inspired to follow your lead and treat you like a grown-up.

Arlo, brother...just don't forget about the misunderstanding between the English in the old country and the English version we use in God's country.... The U.S. .......

That's a problem with message boards / text.....

Having been nearly around the world in my Navy days, I learned long ago there was a difference between the two and found that communication in person or on the phone is so much better.....

Posting text leaves a disconnect between the two..... That I have witnessed many times on this message board....

You should already know this, since we basically both were serving at the same time

nrshida, let me get past this storm and I will try to catch up with you in the Match Play Arena....

Violator was wanting to do something with that arena ( I'll let him explain it  or bring it up in another thread )

Which I think he caught my interest along with possibly Bruv and a few others

Do people fully read every single post and reply in each thread?

To understand the situation and different conversations transpiring within a thread?

Before chiming in with off the mark/off the message replies that really have no clue or context as to the actual different conversations/side conversations in such threads/posts....

I don't think most are really interested or paying attention to what is being posted

What say you?
