The Oath Of The Dweeb
« on: August 15, 2000, 01:21:00 PM »
1) I must always rely on long distance pings.

2) I must always, repeat always, head on whenever feasible.

3) I shall ackstarr in B17's as often as I can.

4) I shall fly buffs above 30k.

5) I shall lag as much as possible.

6) I shall exploit bugs whenever possible.

7) I shall never make 6 calls.

8) I shall steal kills whenever possible.

9) I shall try to get 75% of my kills through vulchuring

10) I shall fly my fighter above 30k.

11) I shall run to acks as soon as I'm in the least of dangers

12) I shall never engage co alt bandits; except for head ons.

13) If I follow a bandit into ack and am shot down, I shall whine and grief much, and accuse the ack runner of forcing me to run through ack.

14) I shall make milk runs whenever possible.

15) I shall strive to take off from A1.

16) I shall not scramble to defend HQ.

17) I shall spy.

18) I shall use irc talk whenever possible.

19) I shall run out of fuel, and blame my opponent for my lack of fuel control

20) I shall shoot chutes.

The Oath Of The Knight/Bishop/Rook is pretty much the inverse of the Oath Of The Dweeb  .

Additions welcome.

So what you're saying, StSanta, is that Saburo Sakai was a dweeb for escaping into flak when he was in an A6M5, alone, against 15 F6Fs?    

I agree with most of what you listed, except for the running when the pilot thinks he'll lose.  I feel no need to make myself available as a free kill to whoever wants to kill me.

If I got away, through whatever non-gaming-the-game method, it means you didn't ever have me.  And as Mr. Sakai so adequately dmonstrated, diving into friendly flak is a very valid way for a slower aircraft to try to escape.

Nah, I think you misunderstand me.
"I shall run to acks as soon as I'm in the least of dangers".

This refers to people who are co alt or lose an alt advantage in say a 1v1 and then decide to run into ack instead of fighting it out, despite having other alternatives.

I run to acks as a last resort. It happens. I also extend a run a good deal, when I find more than one enemy fighter around and I am alone.

And, to you rip:

Blur, lol

Dang.
I consider myself to be a total dweeb, yet I can only answer yes to 7 of the 20.  I guess I had better work harder at my dweebery.

Fly from fear instead of from agression.
You are a dweeb.

eskimo, it takes great dedication and time to be a Dweeb First Class; some spend a life time practising.

At least, you are 7/20th of a dweeb! And you do dweeby things!

Be proud of yourself
