     Ok Moil,
     Maybe this ONE guy is SO valuable we need to beg him to
come back :rolleyes:   I mean we don't have nearly enough
weenies pitching hissy fits on 200 or the BBS now, right?

     Taking a deep breath and waiting a few minutes to think
your post over doesn't seem like a big hardship to me.  Of
course some folks seem to think that threats are a good way
to go.  I have vague recollections of some LTAR doing the same
thing a couple weeks ago.  I could be wrong, of course.

Gentlemen...gentlemen..

..please

I want you to take a few minutes out of the give-an-take and re-read probably one of the best whines to come across this board in quite awhile.

It is in three parts granted but it "builds" with each post. Tension rises on each and every post culmanating in the poster QUITING THE GAME !!

EXCEPTIONAL !!

It has all the ingrediants of a whine that might possibly go down in history..

I did have to deduct points for not swearing.

The BEST I've ever laid eyes on !! :aok

nopoop

It's ALL about the fight.in a brew...

Funny thing is I'm a Bish and never saw the 30 or so people that bammer claims to have log off. In fact Bish numbers stayed at a pretty consistant level (around 110) until later on in evening. I guess 30 logged off and 30 logged on, lol.

Why does everyone miss the whole point?

ALL you have to do is switch to knight & hey presto, you have your ride!

Tommorow when rooks are high you can switch back again.

For guys in squadrons that are very active in main, I can see the reluctance.

But everyone else should be helping balance!

Lord knows if knights get that many #'s ahead I'm ready to jump if need be.

LET ME MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY CRYSTAL CLEAR.

I REFUSE TO PAY YOU ANY MORE MONEY UNTIL I CAN FLY THE PLANES AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeez Louise, quit the doom and gloom. Maybe not exactly but the plane type didn't really matter and I'm sure RedTop would say the same. We could have been flying magic carpets, so long as they were armed.

Ghosth, good point. Does seem a bit of an oversight :)

Hi Chortle,

I stopped my account a few months ago, due to personal reasons, but i'll be back one day ( I hope) I'll look forward to a rematch of our f6/205 fight. Dam I wished I'd filmed it

Looking at your stats, I don't see what you are complaining about.

You have 53 kills in a g10, vs 57 deaths in one (woot! almost 1 to 1)

p-38 you have 53 kills vs 79 deaths

In la7 16 kills vs 25 deaths

Looks like your best ride is the g10.  

You have no kills in a p51, niki, yak or any spit.

so, are you whining just for the sake of whining?  La7 not near as good a ride as the g10 (per your stats)  

You have NOTHING to WHAAA about.  

Don't let the door.......

Yes I would agree...Planes made no difference at all. It was mono e mono (sp?) It was one of the best fights I have ever had in AH1 or AH2.

And that is the point really of this entire game to me. I'm not a greneal. Don't want to be. Do I like losing land? No , not really. But then again ya know what? It really doesn't effect my gaming expeirance until I don't have a place to fly from. Then at that point planes make no difference because A) reset is coming soon so the gangbanging will stop in a bit and B) Same as A. LA7's P51D's Nik's Spit IX's don't turn the war one way or another. NUMBERS DO. Thats what this whole trial is.

I for one am a member of the Knights. Most know that. We picked up like 4 , 5  , maybe 6 new squaddies from the rooks. Very good flyers to boot and old timers. We picked up like 5 newbies as well. Know why? Because they see that a change had to happen to help the game. They simply made a choice to help the game and they as well as our squad and the knights benifitted.

Flying whatever and finding a fight like Chortle and I had that time is what makes this the greatest game on the NET. Do I think this was the right approach...Jury is still out...I do know this...

Fun Times are there to be had by ALL if you simply look for it. It's really that simple. May not be the exact fun you wanted for 1 hour...But it beats the HEAK outta every other game IMO.  ;)

Hi FTJR Good to hear from you mate, hope those reasons aren't too bad, good luck with them whatever they are. That fight was on Mindanoaoaooa, I remember that one well, my sight was about 1 pixel off your 205 for about 3000 feet in that final climb before you turned and put me out of my misery ;) See you soon hopefully.

RedTop thats good work, sounds like your having a blast too. And I agree with what your saying, but in a grouchy, more miserable kind of way :D

You can fly any plane you want, any time you want. Anyone that told you different was a liar.

What I love is that people would go to the extreme of quitting the game rather than simply switching sides.

There was no "threats", just stated some facts, then in case you haven't noticed...................gon e.

Hey, do what you wan't, call names, poke fun, say "see ya"  have post after post after post after freakin post.  They've already had squad after squad, player after player leave the game, maybe your right, this guy is no different huh.

Like I said, gettin' better by the minute

P.S.

Also Rino sir,
All the hissy fits on Ch200 is NO different than it was on Ch1 in AH1. As if now with AH2 there's a ton more. All the same whines, accusations, name calling and so on. That will NEVER end until the day you see this on your text buffer.
