Happy Turkey day everone.

As much as I hate to do this........

I was pm'd last night by a cpid i didn't recog.  They asked me to the DA.  I thought it must be some guy I had told I would help out, so I landed and headed to the DA.  

We chatted, and JUST before the merge the person made ref. to this post.  OMG!! I said.  Urchin????

Yup. they said, and we were d3k out and merging.  Oh ***, I was soooo out of position.  What followed was a HECK of a fight.  Lasted quite long.

Then another great fight.

Then another great fight.  They all lasted easily 5+min, and were VERY well fought.

I learned two things in the DA last night.

1.  Urchin can fight.  PERIOD.  I put him right up there with the Shanes etc.  The guy has moves.

2. (and here's the secret) Urchin is a nice guy.

Sorry to "out" you brother, but it's true.  For all the bluster, and smack talk, he's about as nice a guy as you will find in the merry virtual skies.

Soooo..... <> to Urchin.  Much respect from me to you.  I just hope you can keep that temper reigned in a wee bit, and lay off the private msg. cursing.

(p.s. he WON the duel btw)

(p.p.s. shawk.  nobody wants you to conform to their fighting style.  Just broaden yours.   again for the fights the other nights)

Nopoop said "Beet and I are friends, have some laughs but are polar opposite on how we approach the game. " Maybe we are friends because we are opposites! :)

I read your email carefully - the one where you explained about creating skins/paint jobs. Still trying to understand it. I know your work is well appreciated, but to me it still seems like trying to enjoy a card game by admiring the design on the backs of the playing cards.

:confused:

Maybe I'll get it one day, but it won't be today. :aok:aok  <-- one extra one because it's you. :D;)

Beet <-- who would not know which end of a paint brush to hold.... :(

skins bring more individuality to the game than any fighting style imo. just a shame we cant have non-historic ones that can be squad limited or even player limited.

*IMO*

I don't think anyone said he wasn't good, it's when you brag and place yourself on the pedistal that people will try to bring you back to earth. The best compliment is the one that isn't asked for.

As far as the good guy thing goes, ... anyone can be a good guy *IF* they choose to be. I don't know the guy, other then the only post I've seen from the guy have contained bellie aching, and tough badars talk to try to intimidate, gain free space.

That said; is it possible, that maybe seeing how many people really do hate that attidtude he carried in here, that he's trying out some suggestions, rather then the force feeding style? Maybe something at home keeps him aggitated I know how that can be.

All you have to do is ask a few people in here who are regulars on BW NG, and they'll tell you *CAN* be a real ***hole when worked up. And it's intensional. OTOH, I CAN be a nice guy, give you the shirt off my back, and help with anything I can to make game play *fun*. But i am usually reflecting on how people approach me, in the style they choose to use. I then fire back at the same level.

Point being; we can all be complete ***holes *IF* we choose to be.

I think at some point everyone snivels until they pass a certain era, then it seems to sink in that instead of playing "King of the Hill" and bragging, it's more fun to show someone else how to fly good so that there is more competent competition. The more you teach other players about PC performance and piloting, the more players there are to not only stay in the game, but the skill level of the community as a whole begins to elevate.

Sometimes part of the territory of simming\gaming is taunting, it's like a must from time to time. But if you spend/waste time bickering, sniveling, blaming all the time, the population skill elevation progress will stay slow. Hence causing more bickering, sniveling, and blaming, a momentum in the wrong direction for the community itself. The sniveling needs to slow and the teaching accelerate to change the momentum in the *right* direction for the community.

For some reason, there seems to be more satisfaction in being humble and liked, then being a bullie and disliked.

Welp WMLute may be my CO ... but he's always been mellow and cool to me (even if he don't like my singing very much).  Even before he became CO.

LOL I thought Urchin had a sense of humour.  

Urchin .... I offer apology if I said anything untoward or improper.

Oh and Urchin is a bully. :D  That ManeTMP fellow is a bully too!  And rawr, and Shane, and Ramair, and...  ahhh geezzz the list is just too long to put em all here.   But all of em pick on that poor defenseless guy that flys around and minds his own business called wrag.  

Hmmm maybe I could get HTC to take perks point from em if they shoot down that poor defenseless, gentle, kind, and HANDSOME wrag person :D   hmmmmmmmmmmm ..... muhahahahahahahahahaaaaaa ... errr, ahh, ummm, ..........

Shawk SIR IMHO you should fly how ya like, when ya like, and where ya like and BUT :D watch out for high 109's :D

RE the Happy Turkey Day ... SAME TO YOU ALL BUT MORE OF IT!!!

I remeber urchin handing my butt to me over a base that he was capping on his own and telling me what i was doing wrong when he did. Eventually what he was saying stuck in the ole' grey matter and i managed to get him with a quick snapshot, to which i received a hearty . (he does give them)

Afterwards we had a private discussion, whereby he tried to explain the art of ACM and the very basics u need to remember and for that little lesson i will be eternally grateful to him,   sir.

Oh and before anyone else says it, yes "I AM A SORE LOSER TOO"  and 90% of the time its aimed at myself, so a wholehearted BBS apology to all ive offended in the past with my rantings, and bleetings on chan 200.

Urchin, dont ever change, its your competitive nature that makes you the player you are and when you lose the competitiveness, you lose interest, perhaps a wee coffee break is in order???  how many sugars sir and do u take milk? :aok

Which is akin to the rule:

"No death (of mine) shall go 'unpunished."

Though, traditionally, that used to mean not trying to type the guy to death. You're good enough to leave that part off, I reckon, Shane. Drop the insecurity blanket. You play the game fine. :D
