Gaming the Game....
« on: May 12, 2004, 01:11:45 PM »
Last night I witnessed some score whoring gaminess I have not seen the likes of in quite some time. A certain somone landed 19 kills in his ME-110-C as I logged on. Congrats said I and many others. Coincidentally I upped from the same field as he and we proceeded to vulch the crap outta 46 I think it was. After a bit it became apparent that only 1 guy was upping from that base any more, we had about 20 folks vulching at that point. He just kept upping and upping and upping. He probably upped, no exageration, 100 times or more. Upon our return to base the ME-110C guy lands another 12 kills, ALL OF THE SAME GUY. I'll presume the previous 19 kills were obtained the same way.

Here's the kicker, the vulchee was a SQUADMATE to the un-named scorepotato!

This was noticed by many other folks as well. I have informed the squad leader. We'll see...

I have a final question... Is this considered cheating or just score whoring of the first order?

Why get a wedgie over someone who uses skill or high scores in a game to compensate for their failures in real life?

post names, man!!
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Coulda been worse.  The 367th could've run a P-51D fuel pork mission to A30 and ruined any possibility of combat along the central corridor of Trinity.

Oh, wait.....

edit: By the way, don't brag about how many kills you get in a P-51B if you only attack from a position of advantage.  Also, its not worth bragging about your K/D ratio if you hit and run away in a B-stang while your wingman scoots in and out in a 190.  If you're going to fly a man's plane, then fly it like a man and save the hit-n-run crap for the D-stang like the other tweeners.

It's considered a pathetic attempt to maniuplate the score ranks and his stats should be reset to punish.

Who the heck is gofaster?  I see him criticizing D pony pilots yet for the last two tours most of his air kills are in an La7.   :lol  
B pony is more agile at all alts, faster at some alts than D pony.
2 less guns really doesn't make much difference.

A couple of earlier tours many kills in a yak 9U... the dweebiest plane in the game... spit9 on steroids.  Who the heck is gofaster, other than a grossly misinformed soul?

I am in a frenzy trying to figure out those 3 missing letters.


...as to the topic of this post.  Who gives a ****.  I mean really, what are you gonna do with a good AH ranking?  Tell your family and non-flightsim friends how much bellybutton you kick on the intardnet?

Well there really isn't anything you can do about it I don't think.  Next time I would just try and cut in front of his vulches and kill shoot is dumb a**.  =)
