True

I can't imagine many people paying $15 amonth to do it though. How boring would that be?

1/2 the thrill is probably thinking you are getting away with it.

Well, I have a second account that my girlfriend flies under. However I'm so bad at vulching, the score would probly be:

Duchess: 99 kills
KJ714: 1 kill

Lol AKAK, do you have some kind of obsessive compulsive disorder
that requires you to go out of your way to sling mud my way every chance you get? I have the number of a good therpaist you should REALLY give her a call because you my friend have some deep seated issues.

Have a nice life

[DrDea]

Her? Can I have the number?

I've not heard HT say vultching your second account is "system abuse".  But then again, he probably wouldn't tell me if he did.

...anyway, who cares?  I know I don't anymore.

Furious...

That is precisely why the 'rules' are vague. ...as for caring...gave that up years ago . I do think this points out one of the major flaws in the scoring system. Hence, my comments that I believe it is invalid accept as a personal measuring stick.

Agreed. Score means nothing but it is fun to monitor your k/d or hit % sometimes... As to why someone would pay an extra $15 bucks a month to vulch themselves is beyond me.  <-- for NoPoop!

Which would prove that real men fly B-stangs.

Well Gofaster, I'll admit I'm no expert on the Bstang.  Flew it just a little as a noob.  I tried it out tonight to compare to my beloved D.  Here are the results:

First flight pranged prop ditched 3 kills

Flights 2-4:




Although not an expert on the B pony, my first impression is that the B stang is a much better plane than the D model.  The 2 additional guns of the D are of little difference when killing bad guys and the added weight is a real liability.  The B stang outclasses the D model in all areas w/ one exception: cockpit views.
Early conclusion:  B pony is a much better plane than D pony

Edit:  In a fighter role

I didn't mean to imply that the scoring system means nothing. I merely pointed out that, IMO, any scoring system in a game of this type is going to be flawed when it comes to trying to use it as a means of comparing skill levels.

Think in terms of low self esteem .

Isn't JB77 the guy that got kicked out of JB squad?

[Steve]

He may have been Kweassa... if so it was because of the incidents in this thread.

Not according to the HTC squad roster (as of today).  

Surprised they'd want a proven tard like that associated with their squad.

[Grimm]

Guys,

Lets not be to hard on the JB squad as a whole over this.  

If JB77 is padding his score as it appears,  I am sure that JB42 and company will do something about it.  

It is possible there is another explaination for those stats, but I cant for the life of me think what it could be.   Im not quite ready for stakes and fire yet.   (besides thats HTCs call)

I am really piping in to remind everyone that a squad and its CO only has limited control over its members,  give them a chance to get to the bottom of this and try not to drag thier name thru the mud while they sort it out.  

How would you like to be a CO and have this sort of thing dropped on your plate?   It certainly cant be an easy thing to handle.

So consider not blaming the entire squad for the actions of a single pilot.

Alright,  Iv had my say,  Now let me have a chair and a beer and we will see how this thing unfolds.

You're the only real score potato that has posted on this thread, so you were the only one available to toss in the fire.
