Sore Losers

Hey, I heard somwhere that they took the walnuts out of Rocky Road ice cream, and replaced them with almonds.

I always suspected Jim Mora was an Aces High player.

I think Urchin is just genuinely fet up with what this game has become, and quite frankly he is right to be upset about it.  He might now have the most tactful way of dealing with the problem, but at heart he is dead on about what is going on.  Unfortunately, the majority of the pilots fly in this retarded timid and lame style that is not B and Z fighting, but lame ho joust passes w/ the help of 3 or more friends.  to make matters worse, they make up probably 90% of the people who post on the boards as well, so no matter how right anyone is who is trying to get you guys to learn acm and how to fight, you brush it aside as whining that they died, simply because you were able to get a lucky joust on one of us in the midst of the horde of your friends, all trying to do the same to that one guy trying to take you all on.  Alas, it is frustrating.  Like being the parent of an adolescent who never listens and keeps messing up.

BTW I don't think he's pulling some kind of "tough guy" routine.  he's just calling people for what they act like in the game.  I'm not condoning his actions, just simply saying I totally understand where he's coming from.   Wake up, timid lamers.

Pretty much sums it up.

This thread is basically about all the people who think I'm a dick because I won't say "Wow man!  Superb flying, amazing job, you kick bellybutton BRO!  Keep doing that 8 on 1 thing man, you are great at it!" and deciding to make themselves feel better.  

No .... it's not.

It's about players (and it WAS somewhat non-specific) who feel the regular compulsion to pm other players and cry about the way they fought them.

It only became about you after you identified with the act and thought it was worth defending. Sadly, so did a dozen or so others.

Now ... that being said ... what you get out of it is totally up to you. Someone mentioned the "old Urchin." Don't think I ever met him. Would be interested to, though.

here is all i can offer in terms of 'How i play the game'.





PS: Urchin and the select few have more skill, balls, and true to life HONOUR than most i come accross.

not trying to 'big up' myself or anyone, just saying that i only have a great fight about once a week if im lucky. I give for most stuff, but thats it. when a great fight occours, i go private and, win or lose, salute the pilot in question.

I'm having a hard time taking this part seriously. Then again ... so far I've missed every single con I planned to attend since `97. Even the one where Mr. Black (the guy you're starting to sound an awful lot like) wanted to intimidate people into respecting him at.

This thread hurts my brain.

Each and every one of you has a different idea on how to fly. Urchins and my own are very similar if not identical. The reason we are in the same squad. Some like to kill, others like to live and not kill as much. Others just enjoy taking a base.

To me its a game. To urchin its a game. When we see someone running away from one of use... Its like... why? Wouldnt turning and fighting be so much more fun? To me it is I guess. I guess to others it itsn't and they just dont want to die or risk dying. It can be frustrating when someone runs away, or tries to. Its frustrating because its a game,aand I dont get why some are so afraid to die in a game. This "one life to live" mentality has grown more and more into the norm than ever before. Hence the hordes you see now. 7 or 8:1 are way better odds and these people are less likely to die flying with those kind of odds in their favor. Whats fun for me is taking 4 or 5 of them with me before I die.

Urchin sees how things were way back when and misses them. I know it because we talk about it all of the time. He gets pissed off because he knows that by fighting and dying you can learn much more than by just running away from any fight you see that you think you may not walk away from.

Stang just sucks and thats all there really is to it. Quah he can't get any better and Quah!!!! he flys a P40 to try and be cool. errr umm can't we all just get along?

[Stang]

Quah you little b*tch!! Quah yo momma!        

[mechanic]

hey morph, considering how similar we think, it seems very strange that we have found such a disliking to each other.

then again they do say opposites attract and the same will never get along too well.

I hearby appologise for any moronic arguments we have had and look forward to HO'ing you in my LA7 with 10 teammates to help me on more friendly terms.

Daisy .... chain .... ahem.

Lol... and what do you call the circle-jerk falsetto chorus YOU lead?

[mechanic]

what, prey tell, makes me the iceman?


btw way, on the daisy chain, you prefer right hand over, or the more modern left hand back? I find the lefty gives that' i'm still 14 feeling of excitement, as it feels less experienced with less rythem.

EDIT: Oh, i get it, because i only been here  a year and a bit, my opinions are dog****.
