What? I know I posted something immediately after Far3 that said a fighter was down. I don’t see it.
Oh. Maybe I deleted it along with the rest of a sentence or two that I decided not to post.
Anyway, sorry, I meant to declare immediately that I lost a fighter and not the tank in Far East.

What is this shit? You moved 2 USA fighters to Z12 on US2 and put them in the corner of the zone. You did not specify which carrier they are on. Are you deliberately trying to be ambiguous so that later you can have them be on either the UK or the US carrier when the time comes? Better not, because that would be cheating.
Since you did not specify, and after I moved them to the USA carrier, they are on the USA carrier. You did not say anything after I uploaded maps with the 2 US fighters appearing on the USA carrier, and you did not specify that they were on the UK carrier nor did you place them so that they looked to be on the UK carrier, so they are both on the USA carrier.
I’m upset because I saw Bold repeatedly explaining to you how this was an important issue, but yet here you are still doing it. Here is the map you uploaded.

Allllllmost fell for the trap. But not quite.
Take your medication; you are having another one of your episodes.
Like I told Bold, if I do not state that they are on an Allied AC, then the default is to the power’s own ACs. Regardless, your rant is moot because I did not utilize or move the Brit AC anyway. Where exactly could I have been scheming to move that Brit AC? Zone 13? Zone 14? The Italians would have run them through. And, what would have changed that made me alter my mind at sending a Brit AC and its fighters to the slaughter?
Pretty offensive to accuse someone of cheating for something they have not done but instead for something you have dreamed up that they have intended to do. Why don’t you wait until an act is actually committed before you start spewing your feces all over this message board based on your paranoia and self-righteous obsession with correcting others.
Oh, by the way, sure its OK for your to kill the ftr and keep the armor several posts after the battle. Thanks for asking.
It’s getting chippy around these parts :-D

Where I come from, this is not an accusation, it’s a question. I’m just looking for you to say, no, I didn’t mean to cheat, and I was not deliberately trying to be ambiguous.
Thanks for the clarification that your default is fighters on like carriers. I will try to remember that. It would be helpful if you physically placed them that way. I did not remember you explaining to Bold that was your method. Again, just please place fighters physically on the carriers they’re meant to be on.
I don’t know why you’re such a jerk, but it’s not my problem. I was sure I posted immediately (I already said this) that a fighter was down. If you want me to keep a fighter and lose the tank, go right ahead - it’s probably a better move anyway! Jeez! Calm down! I need to take medication? What a hypocrite!
You’re referring to my help on the FAQ thread, or when I point out for mutual benefit when someone’s not following rules correctly like how you fucked up the US1? Man, you are as sensitive as a girl, to call that self-righteous obsession with correcting others. If someone’s not following the rules, I help them correct the error of their ways. Get over yourself.
It’s unfortunate for you that when you lose this game you can’t blame it on the dice after all the breaks you’ve already received in the critical first couple rounds. It’s gonna hurt to lose to someone you dislike so passionately.
And you call ME emotional! I am, I’m a normal human being! But you won’t admit that you’re every bit as emotional. Hahaha - that’s a real laugher.

I can see you must have the same gene of myopia as Boldfresh.
You took Egypt is the most lopsided of results. You had only a 47% chance of winning that battle, even less to take it, but you took it with two armor left and the bomber, a less than 10% result. This is essentially a 40 or 50 IPC swing. Not only did I lose the infantry I placed from the bid, but I lost a ftr, the Brit NO for several rounds while the Italians gained theirs for at least one extra round. This is about as big of a swing as you can have in Round 1, and all against the odds. If the Allies end up losing a game after losing Egypt on G1 in such a ridiculous manner, then surely they can almost always trace the loss back to that point. It was a ballsy move, and you get credit for attempting it, but don’t insult the forum by conveniently forgetting that it happened.
You took z2 without a loss.
You defended zone 2 in what was less than a 10% result.
You defended Egypt from a 68% attack, costing me my bomber and another potential British NO.
You are carrying on worse than Boldfresh did. I haven’t mentioned the dice or the odds once this whole match, but you cannot help yourself. You whine when they go against you and forget when they go for you. Let’s go the rest of the match without hearing any more comment about the dice, or the odds, or whatever nonesense you have for the commentary.
gamer, normal people don’t consider “what is this shit?” a normal question that doesn’t carry an accusation…if you are going to make it own it, don’t be a coward. And you won’t convince very many people of your even keel with that many exclamation points in a post. You can’t throw the word “cheating” around like you did and then act all innocent about it…its the number one inciteful thing you can say on a gaming site and you said it, so own it. Don’t be a dick and a coward all at the same time.
Talk about same gene! The other relative weighs in!
Goo, actually I kind of appreciate your post. You’re right, I threw out the word “cheating” and even though I didn’t directly call Dutch a cheater, I insinuated it. I’m sorry. At the time it did seem like he was trying to give himself an unfair advantage. Is that what you mean by “owning” it?
I’m not a dick, and I’m not a coward. But you are a name-caller.
OK, my man, a very reasonable request.
I can go with no comments. Thanks for proposing it.
In response to your succinct summary of my luck: You are exactly right. Those are the lucky results I got - I had an unbelievable G1. Since then, it’s been crap and you know it.
It should be easy for me to stop talking dice, because I should be fully confident that you know when you’re lucky and you know when I’m lucky. Doesn’t need to be said. I am hedging against your excuses in the event that you lose.
Whether I’m a bigger whiner than Bold is subjective and irrelevant, and you know it. Some of the genes we share - we’re both geniuses, and we both like to talk when we game. I’m not going to apologize for either.
The only problem I have with tournaments is you can’t control who you play. I’m sure you feel the same. Complete radio silence is a good proposal, and I agree. Hey, Bold, please help us out by not “stirring the pot” as you like to say.
Have a fun rest of the game, Dutch. I must say I’ve enjoyed playing so far - you’ve been very accurate and succinct in your moves. Looking forward to your next move.
Oh. Thanks for calling the Egypt attack “ballsy”, but I can’t take credit for that. I was looking at it as a 2 round hit and run, in which we each only had an 18% chance of losing everything. I was planning to retreat the bomber or tank and bomber after two rounds. I was only softening up for the Italians and got really lucky. I have a history of great luck in amphibious hit and runs on Egypt and TrJ, and you were just the most recent victim.

i can attest to gamer’s “hit and run” luck that ends up demolishing the entire stack. you are both good players who tend to get lucky and i believe the luck has overall been pretty even in this game with gamer getting it early and DD getting it as of late. shaping up to be a great game if someone doesn’t flip out… :lol:
