Do scores affect gameplay? Do captures interfere with fun?
« Reply #60 on: May 10, 2006, 11:47:22 AM »
Although Ive been more careful this campaign, I usually prefer fighting outnumbered than to run. Even if I die, I prefer it over running all the time. There are times when its just stupid to stay, but 3 on ones are fun to try. Sometimes you kill one or two and those victories are so much more satisfying than when I pick a guy here or there.

so you dont "steal kills" eh?

well when a fellow countryman is 400 behind a con and firing
and suddenly your p38 pops inbetween the two it may not
be a "kill steal" in your mind but it certainly is inconsiderate.

this was not 1 isolated occurence ...happened several times
a few weeks ago when i was flying for the Knights.

If it hasnt lost flight capacity (wing or empennage), it isnt dead yet and its not "your kill" to steal. If someone else gets their faster than you can kill it, then was it really "your" kill to begin with?


That being said, shooting at a fuselage without wings IS lame-o kill stealing.

Landing pings, or getting it burning, doesnt make it "yours."

LOL Goose,

I just don't understand why people come into these BBs, get all mad and type the crap they do, then turn around and say oh I was just kidding couldn't you tell.  LOLH  WTF

Ask a guy a couple of questions, disagree with them, and they freak out.  Then they try to paint you as the nut job.  LOLH.

OK Bren,

So where did I so offend you in my original post to you??

The problem is, when a cherry picker cries because someone called em a Cherry Picker. You don't like it, learn how to fight with your P51.

Was it this?  Because the "You" was not refering to you Bren, it was refering to the Cherry Picker.

Your response was angry, argumentative and whiny and you have just degraded from there.  Sure you can pretend that you weren't getting mad, but your type and actions say otherwise.  I am not going to drop to your level and I will leave you at that.:aok

"If only that was true; it would make the game much more fun. I see Ledpig's point. People on this game do trash talk other players that are not "their buddies", I have had one guy inparticular P.M. me & threaten to come to my home and kill me & burn down my house (  ). All because I dropped troops on a T.T. base he was hangar camping, I had only been playing a month or so; I didn't understand T.T. & F.T. bases were sacred & to be worshiped & some of the guys I asked who had been playing a while said "drop the troops"

There is a thread in here right now about HOW the fight is conducted, some people are just never happy & it translates into this imaginary world; if we're not careful someone is going to sue HTC & demand the company hire a full time psychiatrist to deal with our emotional issues.

look, if you see someone on the edge of space in a P-51 looking to cherry pick, it's becasue the plane is an excellent boom & zoomer, it isn't personal & they are just using the strengths of their chosen ride to their advantage, nothing more. And if they run...maybe they are low on fuel? or ammo? or their wife is yelling at them that it's time to go to the kids honor roll ceremony"

Now where in that reply was I angry, argumentative, offended or whiny?

 You said it yourself; Reading Is Fundamental. Maybe you should try it.:aok

Bren I have no problem with your original reply, nor did I say I had.

If you slow down and stop letting your emotion run you will see what I said:

The qoute above, from me, followed your original response.  

If you think about it and read my last post correctly you will come to the correct conlusion, that when I said...

I was talking about this response...

You didn't catch the part where I said "There is a thread in here right now about HOW the fight is conducted" - SEE Jaxxos "NOTE" thread. I thought you would get it without me spelling it out.

Also; I have been here nearly 2 years & I still haven't seperated out the "Aholes" as you put it; in the MA, heck I don't even try. But here in the boards I have seen who is & who isn't, because I can look at all someones posts & see their general attitude.

I tune 200 out unless I want to congratulate someone or give them some kudos or a gentle ribbing. And I SURE AS **** don't P.M. someone just to complain & threaten.

Maybe after I have your experience I will have the ability to know what you know, because I can't tell 100% of the time why someone is running. It is just my best guess until I become omniscient ( as I assume a lot of the folks who post in the BBS are ). I get the feeling some of the people who yammer on & on in the BBS & on 200 are looking over my shoulder.

My dad has twelve brothers & sisters & out of those twelve, seven are pilots & three of the others are married to pilots. ( a couple have combat experience ) One of those, an uncle by marriage, builds his own planes too. I have shown this game to several of them & they all laugh & start telling me how this video game is nothing like flying for real.

I'm no child; I'm forty years old, so as an adult & father of two teenage girls, I get irritated by the childish arguements. But, I am immature enough to be in here wasting time & money like everyone else! Here's a thought, maybe it's gamey because it is a game.

I suppose I'll just have to agree to disagree with the majority of players, because I'll never see it from the majorities point of view, esspecially the arrogant "I want to dictate how other people play - snatch my toys & go home" people. I guess I'm teetering on the edge of being too mature for this nonsense

Dude - you need serious help with that mental disorder where you skip about here & there. :p  

 Meet me in the D.A. - I'll teach you to respect your betters :rofl

Edit: consider yourself popped in the chops with a white glove...not.

 To accomodate your lack of a sense of humor and autistic tendencies; I'm kidding

No apology was given ( more of that mental disorder cropping up ) but non-the-less.

"I'll meet you in the DA, looking forward to it"


 Mars...read this to yourself twice before you say anything --->"To accomodate your lack of a sense of humor and autistic tendencies; I'm kidding"

 I have no desire to D.A. anyone, I'm no competition & I have no AH ego to boost.


 I am not, let me get the quote right; "angry, argumentative, offended or whiny"

 But I do now apologize for saying; "I see you are the very "type" of childish whiney person I don't like. It would be beneath me to argue with you after you have made that point perfectly clear. So here's a tissue for you C-YA!"

 A: Because I didn't stop when I should have

 &

 B:Because I don't know you so I shouldn't have said you were childish & whiney

 I'm sure if we were to have a discussion face to face it wouldn't turn out much better. So I do apologize for those two things & if we meet in the M.A. I hope I can give you a decent fight ( I don't fly the P-51 by the way ) I prefer low turn fights to B&Z.
