OK from what IVE seen as soon as the "special ships" were available to all nations, the amount of blue players ONLINE has dropped a lot!
Whats up wit that?

3.1.0 ------ Blue in the lead for everything
3.1.5 ----- Gold leads in flag caps, everyone defects to Gold
3.2.0 ------ Blue/Itani in lead, has best ship. Everyone comes back to Itani
3.2.2 ------ Everyone can own all ships, Neutral leads in flag caps. Everyone defects to Neutral again.

Yes, I can't believe all the switching that's going on. Last night, I was accused by a certain "StarFreeze" of being a traitor, and he said that I was excommunicated by the Itani gov't, of which he co-leads. 5 minutes later, he's gold. And apparently he's staying gold. Some people are so hypocritical......

So either he's a "bastard leader" (go look up the word), or he's resigned.... I didn't even know there was an official Itani gov't.

umm Sircamps... next time, learn a bit more as to WHY certain things happen before you open your mouth. You'll look less foolish. There are specific reasons WHY he left Blue. And if he wishes to share them with you, I'll let him speak.

P.S.
In what way is it bad to be a bastard? The only onus put upon one is via society and now more and more, that matters less than what you do in life.

Neutral simply kicks ass.

=)

But seriously, I don't think it really matters. The moment those special ships are back into their own nations, people will just go back to using multiple character accounts. Boooooring! Laaaaaame! So once people only have one character accounts AND special ships are nation specific, this problem will be solved. At least IMO.

Uh, fur, I tried asking, I just got a flurry of curses. I was hoping someone on the board might be a little more calm and kind.

Yeah, maybe it's time for a different sort of reset: A community reset. Since 3.2.0, I've noticed something: we've all been pissy and egotistic and all the things we say we hate, and because we all hate what our fellow players are doing so righteously, we don't see that we're doing it ourselves. So how about the next time someone does something you despise, don't yell "I'LL KILL Y0U!!!!". Just step back from it. The community and the game will be better off for this decision.

Yes, everyone has a huge ego, they fear there ego bubble being poped, so they act like (lalala), it gets very annoying and dispicable, sometime this weekend i said something.
SL) My respect towards people is dropping like rocks.
Xhale) yah like samanthas!
SL) Very aerodynamic jet powered rocks.

And more lalala-ing from xhale after that.

Kids, grow up, it's a game so don't be a pain in the ass.

Yeah, it's getting to be so much of a problem that maybe the devs should just lock the nations on an account. There would still be people that are dedicated enough to make a new account, but not many of them.

Reason because ppl go gold is the amount of team work, great communication, and the protection of there n00bs. No one wants to be a n00b that dies 24/7 by a red or a gold...or gold/blue so why not join the team that has elites guarding 6? Usually there is atleast 2 elites sitting in 6 and if a blue or red comes in...the entire team knows about it 5 seconds later. Thus having back up coming asap..and back up does come asap, even if they are in 14 or 15.

If lets say gold or red jumps into 4...no body(maybe if the day is right 1 will be there) is there guarding them...the blue elites find out 2-5 mins later. The cry for help goes out...but no one wants to fly all the way back to 4 if they are in 14-15 so they just let the n00bs die. Yes there are some blues that try to protect...but compaired to the amount of golds...blue looks like a nation you don't want to be on.

Another point that was proven to me is that blue nation spends way to much time figuring out what they are going to do for leaders, militay pay, stuff like that. Gold nation has basicly everyone working as a whole. Yes there is some what of a ranking on gold like as if blaster or arolte(etc) want to do something...people will listen and do it.

And camps...just for the record I didn't call you a traitor...I just talked about how there was some blues including me who were getting pissed off at your actions and additude. If you want the reason's why I left...it is on my forum under "Itani Nation"

Off Topic/Responding to SF: Hey d00d, if we had more than TWO PEOPLE ON, we would have 4 covered 24 hours a day. If you've noticed, gold often has vets on, because they took all of ours. We do not have vets on 24 hours a day, and I have rarely been on with more than 2 blue vets on. That's not enough to do what you guys do, which is have 2 vets in 6, 1 in 3, 3 people capping each flag and 1 msging the n00bs with little tales of woe about how horrible blue is. Hmm... I wonder how we got off topic so quick anyhow?

Slightly Less Off Topic: Well, you know, if everyone didn't have the chance to switch teams EVERY TIME the beam swung in their direction, maybe teams wouldn't be perpetually shortstaffed...

On Topic: Satisfied as to where the blues are now?

And the people you call "vets" that stand in 6 are no more than useless botters. hahaha.. vets. Only by superior numbers do they win....


And maybe the devs should prevent people from switching teams after they have 24 flight hours, so the n00bs can figur eout which team they like the best.

I grabbed golds flag in a bus and their "Vets" guarding sector 6 didnt hit me, TS1 took me down :P

I didnt even get shot at on my way out of 3
