Stop the stealing
« on: November 09, 2022, 06:57:37 AM »
Getting very irritated with a few fellow Knights flying in front of my bullets  :bhead

Not sure how to kindly put it to knock it the frack off. They know they are doing it. However, it’s not just me they do it to, but it’s probably more often to me as my gunnery sucks  :furious

I don’t see them on the forum…not sure how an in game PM would be taken.

I only have a couple hours late night to play last few months and that is also their typical hours I assume as I see them on every night.

Switching to Rooks would result in flying with the horde and less opportunity.  Switching to Bishops would result in twiddling my thumbs as at night for awhile they’re lucky to muster a few in flight.

Getting to the point of looking elsewhere to get my fun 😞

Again not sure how to kindly address this with them where it helps to remedy instead of encourage.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

The rooks do not horde like the bishops do. The majority of the players in this game are eager to get as many kills as they can to get they name up in lights and wtg's from peers that they will do anything to get it.

Unfortunately, that's just the nature of the game today, and for all games really. It's all just attack like a bunch of piranhas with no actual strategy. Everyone is desperate for a kill. Get a mic and call them off, probably your best solution. I wish everyone would get out of their noob easy mode rides, but all I can do is yell on mic and talk crap on 200

Just wondering, if you don't fly AH3 any more, why are you promoting another game? As you surely know we have enough problems getting players in this game without someone trying to siphon them off. Just seems a little underhanded.  :headscratch:

Who told you I don't play Aces High?

I am in FSO every Friday there is one. Its the only gameplay worth a damn in Aces High anymore.

And as far as promoting another game.....where do you think all the Aces High players are if they ain't dead????

Rooks at night are the swarming horde, come take a looksy.

your idea of a horde must be different.

I logged in a week ago in the MA and there was 21 knights, 22 rooks, and 55 bishops

clearly the rooks were hoarding

Are sides not allowed to get the bases they lost to hordes? Does anyone have a rule book or guide for Horde ethics?

I don’t care if they’re taking bases. You know as well as I it’s a horde pick-vulch festival.

Login tonight 11pm-1am EST and look at kills in text buffer.

Regardless, not relevant to OP.
