Built it, and they did not come

 I find it very hard to believe you forgot to get a screenshot of my "abuse".  Kind of hard to produce evidence of something that never happened.

 As far as you being pissed off, how hard is that to do these days? You fly off the handle when anyone talks to you in game or here. You dont like me TK, your friends dont like me. So what. Im not going to lose any sleep over you guys. I went to bat for you to get you on the staff. More than one person said you didnt have the maturity to handle it. I told them no way, he's young but he really loves the game and does alot with his missions and skinning. I told them you would come along fine. You went above and beyond in proving me wrong. Since then you really have gone off the deep end. If you arent having fun, take a break. You'e 18 and pissed at the world and no one can get through to you now. Most of us have been there and done that. Go out and have some damn fun before you wake up old and angry.










KONG, you dont know me. You want to talk to me about the CT?

I don't know. I'mnot sure what it's like to have no nose bounce. I've had it always, since AH1.

On thing you might consider is if the CT is using a different Fuel burn rate. You would always be ariving at the fight heavyier than you would for an = time in the main. But I assure you there is no change in the flight model between arenas other than what I have spoken about.l


HiTech

HT, I know of what he speaks. I get it when I host an HTH room (for some reason it happens in my room but not in anybody else's). It's not so much stalling out too soon, as it is an accelerated stall, where the plane is unstable at any speed and any angle. Even leveling off with the auto pilot, waiting, and taking the controls again doesn't help. You will be completely unstable and unable to perform coordinated manuvers until you crash, and then the next sortie may be just as bad.

The onset of this odd affliction seems to be random. You can have a perfectly good sortie, perform a turn, break, perform an identical turn, and you won't be able to keep yourself from snap rolling left or right in the 190 or 109. Less so the 190 now, but it still happens in the 109 occasionally. it's odd. I know it can't be any of the host settings, as I've pored over them repeatedly and found nothing. My best guess is that it's some hardware/software issue, where the game runs fine on 99% of machines, but there is that 1% that can't handle it and computes a number wrong then AH has a stall spasm because of it. Long shot, yes. But my only guess right now.

EDIT: I can post my DXDiag results, but I don't know if they'd be any use at all. I also could not use the old calibration system for bombing. Followed the rules every time. Every time missed by miles. Not sure if that says anything about my system

Slash,

You seem willing to participate in a childish flame fest in a public forum, why not a reasoned discussion?  I believe I made a valid point and expressed it in a respectful manner.  You may have guessed by now…I’m not 18.

Is there something in my initial post with which you disagree?

How do you reconcile your behavior with CT Staff Responsibilities #6?
“Conduct is in a professional manner when dealing with the CT members.”

The following responses are unacceptable:

-Well, gee whiz, they did it to me first.-
-I didn’t start it-
-They made me do it-
-I don’t wanna play anymore-
-Your not the boss-a-me-
-I did not have sexual relations-
-I’m tellin’ mom-
-bite me, bozo-
-acid reflux-
-It was all a big misunderstanding-
-The devil made me do it-
-depends on what the meaning of is is-
-I’ll get back to you on that-
-s**t happens-
-not gettin’ any-
-I was drunk-
-aliens abducted me as a child-
-so sue me-
-Shutup Dweeb-
-I had a really bad day-

and last but not least…

-all the other kids are doin’ it-

The way these guys continually  attack the CT staff , I guess you can't blame them for returning fire every now and then - it's called human nature. Volunteering your time to do something, and being continually pissed on by the peanut gallery would get more than a little frustrating  I would imagine.

You made your point twice already I think, another page of being clever wasn't really needed was it ?

This thread represents why the CT, on the whole, has failed.

Like I said KONG, we can chat if you like. If you're capable.

Yep, its a silly sad circle. Ive been told by friends and foes alike to move on. Maybe they have a point.

Spell check isle #5:p

[TrueKill]

may be mis spelled but its all true

[Shifty]

The horse didnt move , the wind just blew it's main making it look like there may be some life left. You can quit now the horse is past dead .

[KONG1]

Redd,

First, you have used unacceptable response (1) -Well, gee whiz, they did it to me first.-

Second, I apologize for being redundant, my first paragraph in this thread indeed said it all.  It’s just that Mr. Slash continues to be confrontational. Did you notice his little “if your capable”?

Dead Man,

Why so negative, I have fun every time I go in the CT.  So do the other regulars (that’s why they are regulars). Failure is too strong an adjective.
The CT players are like a family, they argue a lot but don’t seem to go away.  I just ignore the static and get shot down a lot.  There is nothing more entertaining than when I fly against my squad.  I’ll tune to the squad channel and the country channel, then I get to listen to everybody complain about how everybody else is flying.  Priceless.

Slash,

First, I have to say I appreciate the alliteration of “silly sad circles” good job.

Second, you have used unacceptable response (4) –I don’t wanna play anymore-

Bear,

Do you s**t in the woods?

TK,

I once knew a girl just as spastic as the one in your avatar.  Not as chesty though.

Shifty,

Blowing a horse’s main is an entirely different thing from blowing a horse’s mane.

OK, I’ll quit.

[VWE]

Is this what your looking for TK?

I like screen shots, don't you slash? Anything else you want to lie about?

[TrueKill]

yes VWE but thats just when he said in CM text he said more in the PM to me i jsut wished id takin a screen shot of the PMs

Well, that's why I stated that it has failed on the whole.  I have no doubt that those who frequent the CT continue to do so because they enjoy it for any number of reasons.  But from an outsider's perspective, the arena appears filled with constant intersquad bickering, little desire to broaden the arena's appeal, and lots of turf fighting that results in stagnation or alienation.

It may be that none of this is actually true, but the impression given to those who do not regularly fly in the CT is a negative one.  This thread alone degenerated quickly into the typical pattern of cliquish arguing that seems common with the CT.  That's really unfortunate.
