"...that AKDejaVu sure can be an amazinhunk...".

Well it took you about 20 posts in one thread..but you finally got something right.

You did ask for "honesty in posts".

Nice to meet you Deja! LOL

OK, I'm putting this little episode down to the fact that your paranoid and leav it there. I do hope in the future, I can post on the BB without the fear of Deja in his paranoid wonderland steaming in and chasin' me out of town!!.

BTW, Deja i haven't actually subscribed as i said in  a previous post I'm trying to pursuade "Head Office(my lovely wife)" that it is a good financial move!(lol could take sometime!!),so you won't see my scores in any tours.
I am here though!!

Buzz,or whoever you are don't be afraid to post cos od ol' Deja.He just wants to see clarity in the players (especially newbies) that mention the fact he was around during the beta.(oops,you made your bed, now blah blah blah)

Good hunting guys see ya in the MA very soon

Yeah like to explain that,

My friend got me hooked on this game but considering i have just about the min. specs for the game and a supposed 56k modem that only runs at 33.8 i had a few connection problems.
So i couldn't really get in the MA therefore no real scores.

OH BTW, I would like to apologisea bout sticking my oar in earlier on in the thread, I had no real business talking like that,especially at a man of your caliber (no j/k) you been here longer than me, I freely admit i ain't no good at  this game but i have very much fun playing, to me , thats all that counts.

Nobody named "buzzkill" shows up in the scores then.

Hmmm excellent point AK.  Could it possibly be because his handle is "buzzbait" ?

Or maybe, just maybe he's changed his handle.  OK is there something suspicious about that?  I notice you are now flying as AKDjv.  No record of that handle in tours 10 or 11 (haven't bothered to go back further than that).

Is there something suspicious about you changing handles AK?  C'mon ... what is it you're not telling us?

Well I went all the way back to tour 5 and still couldn't find him or buzzbait, wierd.

Still,I would just like to say thank you to AK for my first flame war ( I think thats what it is considering there were subtle insults in there, somewhere)

*bows* AK you truly are suspicious, paranoid , dillusional if you will.

Get Help man you need it!!!

Hmm.  Well, here I was thinking of changing to AH after the latest public relations screwup at WB...   So I come over here for a looksee at the latest news....

Nope.  Too many amazinhunks like Dejavu around.  I'll stick to where I was...  the players are friendlier [and I never thought I would say that].

I agree with so much of what you said I wont post my minor differences. I think my biggest gripe is the "bad apple". I played AW for over 3 yrs. Generally I would say it had more of a community. BUT! I do also remember my 1st day online in AW very well. I SUCKED in spades. The real fun part about it was I actually had guys on my team shooting me down because it was easy! NO KIDDING! That was in AW1 on AOL. Then I went to GS for AW2 and 3. I got much better with time and joined a squad and that's when I started seeing the community (in AW3). I would actually allow new ENEMY pilots to practice on me to get the basic dog fighting down. I wanted them to have fun with the game unlike my 1st experience with it. I'm terrible about getting back to players after a good fight because I'm a very poor typist and I have to have my keyboard in a weird position on my desk. So I'm not to worried about it if no one gets back to me after a good fight. I figure their in battle or can't type fast like me or just mad  . It really doesn't matter. What matters is the crappy attitude that gets vented on here by to many. Not a majority by any means but enough. All most all of your comments on the "reality" of the game I agree with. Gun camera footage generally shows the planes very close before shooting. I think a lot of the things your talking about may be added later (I hope).

geeze guys... who cares if the guy is a newbie or not.  When I was on for two weeks I posted my opinion of what I thought was wrong with the game.   I stuck with one thing that I had tested.  It was not a (cough) popular opinion at the time.   I expected the reaction I got and accepted it.   I was, after all, giving an opinion that went against the basic FM of the game and hence affected just about everything.  

This guy jumps on the CHog and nikki bandwagon and gunnery bandwagon with little or no experience or testing.  He claims to be a WWII aficianado and IMO, pontificates.  He claims to have seen things that are still controvesial to guys with 100 times his hours and he changes his "newbie" story in later posts.   He didn't ask for help or understanding.   He merely distilled and then parroted a lot of posts and then snuck in a few zingers.  He took a pretty large bite for a newbie huh?

kamel.... LOL, you weren't scared of posting to my posts in WB why would you be frieghtened in here?

Was waiting for this one Jekyll.  I was waiting for you to show yourself to be a complete idiot.

OK.. lets try this one jekyll.  When you close an account and start it back up, you cannont use the same id.  Not until HTC clears all the old IDs out of the log.  That was done some time ago (like tour 4) and allows people like Spitboy to come in with their old ID.  If you were to cancel your account and come back next week, you'd have to change it.

Now.. if you were to do that... you could do two things:

1. Come back and tell people you had to change your id because of the account situation.
2. Come back and pretend you never played the game before at all.

Do you see any difference between the two jekyll?  Do you see why your little jump in logic was simply idiotic?

If you don't.. then you are simply a waste of time.

To those criticizing my attitude here and comparing it to the game.

You need to play this game more often.

You seem to think that my being critical of someone for stating his oppinion of this game under dubious circumstances is much worse than anyone sitting back and criticizing the game.. over.. and over.. and over.. and over.

Sorry, but I don't agree.  The criticism on this board has reached an all time high.  I'm sure you'd like to point a finger at me and say its because of people like me.. but find the time I started a "chog" thread... or a "uber" thread... or a "dweeb" thread.. or a "I quit if you don't".. thread.

I played for two hours last night and saw nothing but constant whining on channel one and constant bickering back and forth.  I don't mean occasional... I mean CONSTANT.  Still the same stupid arguments "Ack is porked", "PT boat dweeb" "Chog dweeb" "need 20mm to feel like a man".  Simply amazing.

Yet some playing then, feel it is more important to immediately leave the game when the notice my ID to come back here and tell me once again how much I'm ruining this game for newbies.

sheesh.

WOW. For the first time on this board, I have come across a post that gives me a personal reason to let my respect for one of the members drop. And drop significantly. During my 2 weeks, in Tour 5 I noticed many problems and elements of AH that are similar or identical to what buzz brought up.Do you have a learning disability AK? Do you use your inability to absorb information as a standard?

I had more than enough info to do exactly as buzz did at that point. I chose not to. And DAMN am I glad I didn't! I can't believe this! Who cares if he isn't a total newbie? I could refer my record in Tour 5 when posting this. Maybe you could say that I wasn't a newbie, because my record is a tad better than average for a 2 week player in 1.02 and 1.03.

If he isn't "straight up" as you put it, how about this: what ulterior motive could he POSSIBLY have for this!? If he had it in for anybody or anything, why would he do it this way. According to you, he went to a lot of trouble just to give some opinions. As to them being opinions held by the majority... it's called a "majority" because most people fall into it. Buzz must be one of them. Oh no! The conformity!!!  

Not having heard about it for two years, and now being "choosing a strange time to show up." What the hell are you saying? That's BS, and paranoid BS besides.

Anyway, I'm done. But allow me one parting comment: Gee, AKDejaVu sure can be an amazinhunk.

What really cracks me up about this whole thing, is that I'm am the one being blamed for the first statment in regards to the community.  Ironically, I was not flying on-line when this individual was.  I had an account problem and didn't start it up until after Christmas because of the financial scene.  I wonder what he based that assesment on?

And ispar, I never said buzz was "choosing a strange time to show up".  Not once.  I said his post was strange.  Turns out he had played the game before.. he admitted as much.  Why that matters is can best be summed up by what lazs said above.

Now.. if your only contribution to this thread is to call me an amazinhunk.. well.. once again I have to honestly say you need to be labeled likewise.
