People cared about YYZ, trust me.Pretty sure you only locked down airports no one cared about, once you tried it on airports that mattered it got messy. You could never have locked down JFK or LAX or Berlin or Sydney.... But great effort in doing what you did....

I personally would tear down every turf in every state I used an airport to get to if they were taken out. But that's just me.Everyone who wants airports closed never used them?

Wow. Awesome, experiment. I know I wondered what was going on. I like the idea, it made the game interesting.👍

Yes! An original thread that mirrors my own opinion. Impressive.

First sorry Jim for going off topic. But I understand both sides of the arguement. Australia, England, Japan, U.S. all places with airports can now be connected and it is a truly world wide game. Some who were stranded aren't. But on the other hand I think it takes from the specialty of having turf in places. It's not a big deal to have turf all over anymore. And wars are drawn out with no end. Its just a personal preference id prefer if people were forced to either drive or hop to their location to plant but in reality I'll admit airports probably make this game more appealing to new players.🎩 MaddHatter 🎩 wrote:

And Jim I thinks it's an awesome feat to be sure. But I think the reason it took so long to get a reaction is because at your mob and time spent playing I would've assumed even with 8 people my size that you have more friends way bigger than us. But I'm sure that's already crossed your mind I just like to talk. Lol

Fantastic read! Well done Jim

That was a fun read Jim. Closing airports sounds like fun.

@Knight - hopping is more gps based because you start with 1 turf in your physical location. You then spread out from there. Unless you traveled in real life, without in-game airports, you couldn't make 1 giant hop that covered thousands of miles.
I've hopped all over Texas & continue to do so. Before airports opened, I planned to hop into other states. Have I used airports? Yes. However, after I hit a few key areas, I let months go in between plane tickets because I wasn't motivated to fly. I prefer to hop.

How can an airport be a goal? It's a tool to be used, like a giant police map. Once you fly somewhere, the idea is to hop away.⚜Ꮶ͜иιɢн͡т⚜ wrote: Personally I don't get the argument against airports.✂
I agree I'm gonna be going to Cali in January and hope to get turf in an airport so I can expand but if the airport is full I will eventually bore o the game and leave, airports have been my goal for a long time and I hope to achieve it. And hopping is not GPS based at all all the vets complain the GPS aspect of the game is leaving when they play a major role in that also -

Exactly! 👍 game is boring now! That's old news anyway Jim but good reading.You guys claiming hopping ruins the part of the "GPS" of the game don't kno what your talking about. Hopping takes a TON of time and dedication. When someone spends let's say like 10 hours hopping somewhere that they could never actually go to in real life, it rele means something. You will fight to the death to defend yourself. Now with airports, if you get capped out of a country you can fly back in at the most 2 weeks later. I am COMPLETELY against airports cuz it takes the satisfaction out of capping someone from a country. All that means is that for up to 2 weeks they won't b back. DOWN WITH THE AIPORTS!!! 🔥🔥🔥

In the year I've been playing, I've used 1 airport ticket, and I've hopped about 500 kilometres (some 15 hours+ of hopping).ՏᎥɴısтeʀ ⋁ㄒㅌᏟ ☠ wrote:
Exactly right!-snip-
I'm no Vet, but I've had a taste of both, and I agree with you wholeheartedly. Down with the airports!Of course, I'll probably use one again, to travel overseas. One day. Maybe. Perhaps.
I don't have a passport or $$ necessary to fly in RL, and you can't hop over water now. What choice do I have?
But, I digress. You lads are correct.
Excellent read, Jimbo. Cheers!👍👍

I'm not arguing Against hopping, what I'm pointing out is the use of GPS as an argument for no airports. They both. serve a very similar purpose.@Knight - hopping is more gps based because you start with 1 turf in your physical location. You then spread out from there. Unless you traveled in real life, without in-game airports, you couldn't make 1 giant hop that covered thousands of miles.

Hopping and airports serve to get you to places you may never normally go. If hopping is to be considered more gps based then so should airports, because of the purpose they serve. 😄

It's easy to say " no more airports " when you live in America or ozzie when there are tons of active players to play with, capping is part of the game but when you live somewhere with 6 other players, shit then you get to realy enjoy this game! You have one big player capping all the lil ones kuz there ain't nothing else to do! They quit then you left with your 6 players again! Quit carrying on about airports ruining the gps part of the game cuz, you can fly in rl, you drive and hop on one fricken leg if you want there's only a hand full of players going on about air-ports but the rest of us want them, so why not drop it and just let it be!
-
I think it is funny that we cry "No more airports!" but we all use them. 😳
They just make it too easy. I was removed from Europe at the end of my experiment but less than 24 hours later, I'm back. If you counted the time to buy the tickets, pack and get to JFK or DC, it use to take me longer on the Concorde. Just doesn't seem right.

I hate you Jim. You took nearly 2 turf off me, but I fought back. I destroyed it myself, and haha to you. Your little experiment didn't get anything from me because it didn't bother me. Well.. Glad you got it for a cause and not just some random weirdo who takes and tears like some capers I know :/ loved the read, very informative, rather impressed.
I like you Jim 😜 -

A 1 Read! As far as airports go...down with airports...the game is more social based than GPS...get to know your local community, that's how the 'great' alliances have been formed...if your in a small community, you can hop twice as fast having two people dedicated to the cause...support your local community (and Chefs) 🍸Cheers🍸!!!

Great read

Just because we don't want airports to be in the game doesn't mean we won't use them. If we don't use them you will b so far behind everyone else and not b relevant in the game. Since everyone uses them you must use them, just don't enjoy itI think it is funny that we cry "No more airports!" but we all use them. 😳
