Mine are in no particular order

Shane

Arlo

1Duke1

Slash27

CUTT

Swoop73

because they are competent and wiley and are always willing to fight.  It's a shame we don't see the last two very often any more.

Anyone who can put up a good fight in recent memory I've had some good fights against Splurts (I think that's who it was, was pretty out of it),  Grunherz, Shane, and Duke and I had some good fights back in the Israel setup.

Anybody who puts up a fight is OK with me.

Slash, Duke, Arlo, Bug, on the Allied side (and some more I cant think of).

Lowe, Norad, TrueKill, Storch, Dogsta, DktrEvil, Mustafa on the Axis side (and some more I cant think of).

Shane, BigMax, Leviathan, Eagler, GRUNHERZ, and Oldman for the independents.

I have had several awsome fights against Arlo for the past several weeks, he has kilt me every time, but they were close run, nail biting fights.

Hey Grits,

Don't count on us (Dktreil and me) for a while, we are learning our new pedals.  I guess we are going to be peoples lunch for a while...

Regards,

Mustafa

Mustafa,

I rate people more on their willingness to engage in combat than their actual ability. I have the same amount of respect for the newbie who never runs from a fight, but dies a lot, as I do for Shane or Leviathan who kill me a lot.

Once you guys get used to those pedals, you will be surprized at how much easier it is  to fly and line up shots.

In a friendly way, I would have to say Lowe and Jester... Just because they got me started in the CT and being new in the squad sometimes I couldn't imagine doing some of the stuff they do. Now when we go head to head with JG54 I am always looking for those names in the buffer.

But there is a lot of good sticks in the CT can teach you how to straighten up and fly right after getting knocked down multiple times...

Its all good.

I suppose there's a potential list of players who've earned my respect in the arena. Some for skill. Some for attitude. Some just cause they're passion for the game and the arena matches mine.

I hesitate to reveal names because it would probably go to their heads.

Here's the much shorter list of adversaries I truly despise (not to be confused with the list of players that think I do based on buffer exchanges):

Thank you for the kind thought, Grits, but this really belongs on the portion of the SAT entitled "Pick the word that does not fit with the other words."  Appreciate the karma, though.

I was thinking just last night how really good the average talent in the CT has become - certainly the best I've ever seen in my time there.  Complaints (or secret delights) now aren't over the quality of the opposition, it's over the technique (b&z, ganging, that sort of thing).

No, you belong in there Oldman. Fighting spirit is as, if not more, important to me as  pure flying skill is and you have that in large quantities.

Most of the CT regulars, pretty much.

I always get a great (and humbling) fight  with Arlo or Shane. :)
