New Rash of Dweebery

[RTR]

Slapshot, I agree. there really is nothing you or I can do to stop it. All we can do is offer a helping hand. Wether the help is accepted or not is up to them.

Should I spit out Reo's hook now?  (dang! that was a sharp one too!)   Reo.

Please tell me your in-game ID is not RTR? If so, everything makes complete sense now. I understand why you react the way you do. The records of your performance are even more laughable than your comments on the BBS, my apologies. I had no business even commenting to anything you posted. I will not continue to make that mistake! I mistook you for someone who had the first foggy clue wtf you were talking about.Have a nice day!

Thanks for the chuckle.

Nice try except for one minor problem. I make it my personal agenda to re-plane these chaps at every possible opportunity. They are NOT newbies, they are people that have been playing a at least as long as I have, perhaps even longer. I don't think most newbies are familiar enough with the game to even conceive of doing this. You have to be fairly comfortable exploiting your energy advantage and disciplined enough to refuse to engage cons you encounter on the way to the base you are intending to vulch. The idea that newbies are the ones that do this is patently false.

Come on !!! With just a few flights with the horde, and this becomes part of their fabric.

Conversly, I am not a newbie, and if I made such a run, I doubt very strongly that you or anybody would be able to re-plane me unless you had a significant alt advantage. I tend to agree that its mostly newbs that use this technique.

Just last month I launched from a base and got vulched by a La-7. I immediately upped again to only watch him scream away with 2 guys on his butt. He then gets the opportunity to come back and make another pass before I kill him ... the other 2 guys were pissed ... hehe.

After I killed him I flew towards his base. About 1/2 there I see an La-7 on the water. I drop down and kill him ... same guy. I regain alt continue on and guess what ... yup ... same guy ... same result. I killed him seven times in a row. I finally asked him how long ago he started playing ... response ... "3 weeks ago".

He kept doing it and I finally got bored killing him.

You make it hard not to jump on you Zazen.

Just because there are some old hands that do this does not mean that there are unmistakenly no newbs that do this.  Sheesh.  When you make statments like these your gonna get a response.

Do you really think e management is so difficult that a new guy cant figure out how to climb high pass over everyone and dive on a runway.  Wow that's a tough skill lol.

I agree some old hands do make a living out of the vulch, but I do think this is mostly a newb phenom.

Maybe there isn't anyhting we can do, just wait till they realize there is a better more rewarding way to fly.

Ohh and BTW RTR's first post was dead on.

Death; you wait 4 minutes till next sortie
Capture; 3
Bail; 2
Ditch; 1
Land; 0

The penalty/benefit of all these outcomes is modeled in the way points and perks are given/taken now, but I'll wager half of the arean doesn't give a rat's arse about points or perks.

     So now the Sunday night rook horde will have no one to fight?
Gang bang enough of the arena and things are going to get
very very dull.

[LYNX]

As a bish all I can say is Bish have been default throughout summer term.  Had it been Rooks as default or Kights I would summise that a Bish would have started this thread.

[mars01]

Lynx this is not just a Bish problem, I apologize if some get that idea.  It just happened to be the Bish I was fighting against last night.  The Rooks and Knights have the same problem as well.

If the arean is unbalanced to the point where there's nothing to fight then do what I do...head to the CT

Ahhh...Zazen's reading tea leaves again.  

RTR- this is a commen defense of Zazen when he realizes that he is out classed in the skills department.  He did this in AW and he's doing it in here.  The true reason he wanted your call sign was so that he can check the roster and see if you're on.  If you were on, he'd fly on the opposite side of the map and hide.

The funny thing, for all of Zazen's finger pointing, he's no better then the players doing what is described in this thread.  That's why he puts so much emphasis on his stats, to give him that false sense of uberness.

I didn't mean to imply no person new to the game can and do, do this.
