Author Topic: Shades (Read 676 times)

I was coming out of the hangar at A24 the other morning in a Tiger when I hear one person talking about losing 51 kills cause he got bombed. another was still out at the spawn point with 50 + and still going. I headed out there thinking there's a lot of vehicles spawning in. As I get closer I hear talk that it's the same guy spawning over and over again, so I think to myself what an idiot.

Then when I get out there, the guy (who shall remain nameless per Forum rules) is still there killing this T34, he's now at about 75 kills. So I start shooting at this T34 and after several assissts and some kills I notice this person spawning in isn't doing anything, just sitting there, not starting his engine or even turning his turret. Anyway the guy that was here before I got here is now on his way back to land 101 kills in his Tiger.

I'm still killing this guy popping up when it dawns on me that this might be other guy's shade account. to add to this, the other guy was almost back to the base while I am putting my 3rd round into this T34 that seems to be a tough kill, when I hear him say hit him in the rear it will kill him first shot. Hmm how did he know I was having trouble killing him when he's over 4k away and down the hill by the base.

After 16 kills I just turned my Tiger around and headed back to the base. To confirm my suspicions I checked this guy's kills against the person popping up at spawn. He has killed him 534 times in variuos planes and GV's vs only 1 death.

It's a sad thing people feel they have to do that just to get a good score.

This is neither a personal attack, nor an accusation of cheating or exploiting a bug in the game, and is merely an anecdote of your experiences in the game (call it an AAR). If you look at it in that context, you can post the names involved so that we may all point and laugh.

Look, the first rule of making a post like that is to name name's. It's like rule #68 or something.

He's not doing a very good job at it, he still isn't beating me. I mean to go to all that work and still not be able to capture the #1 spot is even sadder.

You know it's real irritating when someone illudes to someone being a cheeseball without completely exposing them. By the end of the 2nd paragraph, I already had my pitchfork and torch in hand, DOGG-IT!!!!!!!!!! LOL

How can I call the guy a twit when I don't have names?

Remember a couple mornings ago...was it friday?....someone landed 101 kills in a vehicle.

Right afterward, the lander talked on 200 about how much fun it was, and thanked another player on another country....who pretty much giggled and said it really was fun, no problem.

I got the feeling that this time was a lot like the legendary morph-let-leviathan-vulch-458-times-straight-episode.

In other words, if its the same event, they were thumbing their noses at the score chasers, not using shades to max their rank.

And no, I'm not hiding CPIDs. I really dont remember the names involved (although I remeber that I recognized them both) because it just didnt impress me either way. Their $15 etc, etc, etc.

Screw score; play for the fight.

When you're good at the fight, pretty soon everyone knows it without ever looking up a score.

But if you fight, you can die. Isn't that bad for a score? I mean, score is the metric which tells who's good and who isn't. We wouldn't know who's good without scoring and ranking, so occasional extensions aren't bad.

True, Shawk and the gang are always on the top, I don't have to look at the ranks.
~~all the aces!~~

I wouldn't know about Shawk and "the gang". I can't ever remember engaging him.

Either we're on the same side all the time or we don't do the same things in the game.

All I can say is...When they PAY me to have a good Score (Rank) then i'll worry abut it.

As for some nugget vulching a friend or 2nd account.........

WHO CARES

It's no sweat off my back. Seems pretty boring to me.

I'd rather fight and die then do that...Oh wait, that is what I normally do....DIE

Due to the tomfoolery represented in this post, God has killed a kitten. Rest assured, those that have taken part in this are very sorry and will never do it again.

Also, morph never let levi shoot him over and over again, levi never fired a shot, morph just kept taking off and landing again. The proxy system is all that was exploited
