The Forming of Something Great....

Taking me to the DA and beating me, or at least makin' me work for it, THAT impresses me.


You know Lute, being a decent person impresses me. Regardless of how good a pilot you may be in here, in this video game, you really come across as one of life's losers. Are you so small and petty in the real world that you have to be such a complete and raging bellybutton in the virtual one? You're not worth my time. I'll let someone like Shane, who I tend to respect as a person and a pilot, teach me things if he is willing to go a few rounds.

Well Vudak, that quote shows what impresses him, I noted what impresses me. And the rest of his response the quote came from shows what type of guy he is.

He just seems to like to put people down, and I don't think it's a stretch to say he does that to pump himself up.  Losers like to put people down to make themselves feel better. He started throwing out insults, I responded (as he would say, called it like I see it), he gave me something to think about and I backed away and gave him credit. No problem, can't we all just get along :)

But, he continues with the put-downs. I had no problem with him before his posts, had got over that, and now it’s back with the put downs. I don’t associate with insulting people in RL and certainly don’t in a video game I play for fun. He may be a great virtual video game pilot, but the truly great ones seem to be pretty great people as well. I have yet to see Drex or DMF insult anybody. Shane talks trash, but I also know he is more than willing to do something like go in the TA and work with people. That simple.

[I'm out of this too. I didn't know who he was until a few posts ago, and thanks to the ignore button I never have to know who he is again]

Ya know... we got a lot of pretty good sticks in our squad and they all seem like nice guys... don't think any of em have ever kicked an old lady or puppy punted for fun... some even have accumulated a few bucks..  some are pretty good at about anything they try..

NONE of em have ever subjected me to the drivel I just read in the above post.

The BK's have no rules to speak of save one...  If any new guy wants in and even ONE current member doesn't want him in.... he don't make it.

So long as I am a BK.... the guy above will never be one..

If I had to listen to this guys accomplishments on voice I would probly upchuck.

My wonderful post is now ruined. I guess it should have been called "The start of something ruined". I kindly asked that this not start into a flame war. This is one reason why nothing ever gets solved in here. We have something wrong with the arena and now we are talking about individual stats and accomplishments. Take that stuff somewhere else

jamusta... in the grand scheme of things.... It's all related.  And it all has equal effect.

I see somebody removed a post between mine and the one Laz made. Very clever actually :) Thanks for the support, BTW, and  Jam, I apologize for my role in hijacking the thread. I have perhaps been a bit hypocritical myself, since I obviously let my self get bent out of shape over something that I should have laughed at and ignored from the start.

Hmmm...

Shane    Hmmmmm...  I've actually shot him down err ahhh maybe once LOL.

Caught him low fightin 2 other nits he was in a P47 and I still had to make 2 passes.  I was in a P40.

Got lucky.  I turned and he was right there.  So i fired and down he went.

Soooo IMHO had it been 1 v 1 I probably would have lost.

Shane

Others i've fought?  Lets see I shot down rawr once.  LOL tried 3 times, 1st 2 were 1 v 1, 3rd time I got him BUT there were like 4 other on him with me.

Soooooooo IMHO 1v1 I would have lost the thrid time too.   rawr  AKA ******

That XtremJ guy in his P38 is JUST a BULLY LOL  

Lost a 1 v 1 to him too.

I really enjoy these good fights!  Lots of rolling and turning etc.  The list of the people that can take me 1 v 1 is long!!!!  LOL

Wish my connect didn't suck so bad.  Might be able to give em more of a fight.  Getting so what I see on my FE is not what I get.  Packet loss on every connect I got.  About 3% to as much as 30% all at one or another of the savvis.net hop.  Average ping time for me is over 250 :(.

OH WELL I'll keep pluggin away for now but.....  gettin real tired of lookin my 6 flyin to avoid and the con isn't even pointing at me and bang I get hit :(

Had one yesterday came in my twelve, I moved to avoid the HO, looked good my FE, looked like I was clear, and POW tracers all around me and, engine oil out.  Also gettin tired of getting the site on em pulling the triger and POP they miniwarp in any direction just enough that I miss.  Right under em right over em just a hair left or right or whatever :mad: .  And every now and then tracer look like they go right through em. Gettin old.

I need DSL or cable but .... NOT available here :(

It's in town but I'm located just out of reach on the edge :(

Hoping I can get a better connect and work on my ACM and give em all a better fight all.

hmm... that is wierd..  the post above mine and the person I was refering to was lute.   I bet it must be a real hoot to listen to that squads daisy chain of back slapping during a milkrun to kill toolsheds.

Oldman... I have allways liked fighting you and you put up a pretty darn good fight in the CT.   Odds or not.

Think of the beginning of your thread as a fun furball, jamusta.  Then think of its ruination as some strat-minded do-gooder taking out the fighter hangars at the nearby base because we're concentrating too much on Air Quake and not focusing on the big picture.

Why would I DOWNgrade squads?  ROFL laz you being silly.  I have my own squad of awesome guys, who are second to none.  Couldn't imagine NOT flying w/ 'em.  Heck...only been w/ the squad for let's see.... is it eight years now?   Top notch bunch.

Whole time my squad is flying we are joking, and laughing, WHILE taking care of business.  Not really a milk runner in the bunch (except for my couple of score potato hops a month in a Stuka).  We dislike hordes, frown on killing fh's, and are VERY good at what we do.  Why you have decided to insult my squad I have no idea, but you sir, are about as intuitive as charon was.  Funny thing is, i'm on reasonably friendly terms with many in the the BK's.  Dunno why you want to drag them all into this.  I've HAD a fairly high opinion of the BK's, thanks for ruining it.  They need a PR guy that has a clue.  You sir, unfort. don't.

You got an issue w/ me?   Fine.  I'm a big boy.  I can take ya' to the DA and die, or kill you.  Don't drag our squads into this.  It's petty and small.

I find it mildly interesting that you read what I typed (and since deleted) and found something in yourself, or your life, SO very lacking, or mediocre, that you had to try and take me down a notch.  Sorry it sucks so much to be you, and have to try and jump all over me because you are so paltry.  Quit humping my ankle.

As far as deletin' my post, eh.... wasn't worth it anymore.   I got nutin' to prove to a guy like Charon (or you actually, why am I even typing this??), and not quite sure why I was (am) even replying to someone obviously sooooo oblivious,.
