I admit to worse than a trolling. I really believed my opinion of KillinU mattered to myself and that folks like yourself care about your impact on the community. For this I was willing to run the gauntlet of AH BBS business as usual. For that reason I admit to being stupid. Otherwise I have seen superior trolls on this BBS  than I'm capable of.

I pick my share of cherry's using the same tactics KillnU uses. Must work since I caught him with it. I refuse to question the picker when I get picked. After all I put myself where the picker could get me what ever factors inspired us to meet at that moment. It's irrelevant. The 56th is famous for using wingman tactics to cherry people. P47's work better as a group.

It struck me as a poor example for the rest of us average players by someone as talented as KillnU to even swet it on ch200 in front of everyone. It made me wonder if there were more talented players who thought so low of the rest of us cherry fodder.


My opinion means nothing, ask anyone "good", they'll tell you "Karaya sucks".   I have a new outlook on this game after taking a two-week layoff.   The folks nowadays are more into "rank hightening" then "getting into a 10 minute long fight that leaves you drained."    My new motto is "Two tears in a bucket, mother f*** it."  

Those days are gone.  

I rarely get <>'s, but I give them out.   Those "who cannot be bothered" are the "egotistical elite" of an "imaginative far-off land" folks that I'd careless in life to meet anyways.   If it WAS/IS a good fight, I think regardless of "who won", a salute should happen.   If I'm in a 1 vs 1 and some lamer swoops in ruining it for both, they can salute me all day, they won't get a response out of me.   I was in a 1 vs 1 with "CaptCole" a month ago, and a friendship was born.  I winged with his squadron for a week.   Life is too short.  

But really, Killn himself told me only "1/2 of your first post was true".   I rarely post about fights in here, it isn't worth it.   I get accused of "having an ego", and I do not have one.   Heck, about a year ago, ghi posted a thread on "would you vulch this field?".  I posted "that I would and have", Viper215 saw fit to exclaim "do you think you are some God or something?"   All I did was state a fact and got under someone's skin, "because I didn't give some the answer they were looking for."  

I've shot down "the best" (except Vati) and get shot down by the worst, I have no "ego".  I DO get pissed when some are too chicken to fight 1 on 1.   Why am I rambling on?  I haven't the foggiest idea, but I felt the need too.
Heck I even had my post BLATANTLY ignored (it's obvious why) in "platano's P-47 thread", because I "told the truth."   It's life, I was just raised not to lie.

look, i get picked/rammed/ho'd/good fights and everything else every day.  Im sorry you took a question as whining/bit..../moaning or anything else.  I asked a question.  
I never said what you did was a lame tactic, dweeby, noobish or anything else, I asked a question.  If you took it that way, im sorry.

Im not "questioning" how you play, but asking a question of why people choose to do that.  Anyone can ask me why I choose to play the way I do, fight the way I do and I wont have a single problem with it.  I dont have a problem answering it.  I fly for fun, kill people and try to land in one piece.  I wont run from a 1 vs 1 at any alt situation in game, period...because to me a good 1 vs 1 in MA is a rare thing.  I pick and rope because it is easy to kill people that way when they fall for it.  I TnB because it is dang fun for me.  Ive TnB dang K4 with everything in game...won some, lost some, but it is dang fun for me to try to win in a TnB(not all horizontal turns) agains a plane that should out TnB me.  

I dont grab  over my own base, ever...because I want to push fight to enemy.  Best defense is good offense.

I typically lvl at 8-10k because anything else is just overkill  imo.

see, its ez.  I dont mind answering question of how I play or why I do it that way.

I do have an issue with people that I rarely see in MA, trying to tell me I play a certain way and thats it...because majority of the time they are dead wrong.  Not enough to get upset over, because it is a game, but do have in issue nonetheless.

flying in a group?  no biggie, I was CO of 475th for awhile, was fun for me at the time to fly in groups of 38s and just rampage a sector of the map with the people i was flying with, because I enjoyed flying with them.  That ended up getting somewhat old to me, and I left for various reasons to "lonewolf" for a bit and feel free to fly whatever I wantedl, where ever I wanted, with whom i wanted and however I wanted...without feeling obligated to my squad...which I put on myself.
I still fly with most of them, they are great group of guys who are a joy to fly with and against.

Point is, fly how you want.  was never saying it was wrong how you fly...was asking why people chose to do it.  To me, there is a difference there.  if there is not...then so be it.
Karma, it follows you every where you go...

A word of advice when dealing with hubs and Masherbrum:



Ask Falcnwng, I do NOT troll.   USRanger, you haven't played long enough to have an "objective" outlook.   You rant on about something you haven't a clue on.

Heck, I post in here about winging with "the BK's" and I'm instantly labeled "a BK wannabe", "BK kiss-arse", "someone who wishes they could join the squad", etc.   You are VERY mistaken.

Bustr, even said in the VERY FIRST post.   "You Gents and Ladies are so good at this game, please take it as a compliment when some of us actually gain a victory on you. "  

Bustr, HAS TO admit, that even though "hub was not as diplomaticas he could have been".  He "was miffed at not being recognized after the said encounter."  

USRanger, feel free to carry your "hatred baggage" concerning myself as long as you want.  Know this, I've never done you wrong, nor do I care how you see me through your eyes.   I was RAISED to treat other's how I am treated.  Maybe you should get with Falcnwng, he may "tell you things that you are oblivious too."   If you THINK I am as "shallow as to get bent out of shape over a stupid game", you are wrong.

The way I see it, the only person who's image is tarnished is your's, bustr.


What was the reason for posting this? What did you hope to accomplish? Did your post add anything to this board?




KillnU didn't seem to be calling you out, he just seemed curious as to why you were over your own base. I don't think he meant to infer that being over your own base was 'dweebish'. He just didn't understand why you were there and he wanted to know.

You made it more than it was. You took it as him trying to diminish your accomplishment in shooting him down, which I don't think he was doing.




I don't know either of you. This is just the way that I see it.

Mash,

KillnU is the first Rook in about 2 weeks I've successfully picked as a knight and lived to tell the tale.  Usually I run into hoards of rooks at alt alone. I guess the reason I survived getting him was from my perspective a solo rook diving on the knight feild I happened to be over. I couldn't beleive my luck. No buddies to to hoard my 6 when I commited to the attack....:cool: I kinda figured in a K4 with that tactic it was a noob or someone who would make me regret getting involved.

I thought I shot a noob when the wing fell off. When I saw the kill message I figured he would send a salute and come back to kick my kester.....:O I hung around and tangled with 2-109's I thought was him and a freind hedin back for my hide. When higher spits, ponis and a tempest moved in my fuel dictated an rtb. Today was the first time I have survived a rook hoard and landed even one kill in a few weeks.

I've been fiten bish because their hoards are usualy below 12k and occassionaly I can pick one or two before I get in trouble with the rest....;)

I guess my rambling here is I expected KillnU to up and avenge himself on me as the top stick I think he is rather then use ch200 to make us both look silly. 1 vs 1 even start I can't beat him. Heck Ive only shot YUCCA down once in the DA and we were both in spit5's..........:)

Whoa Karaya, easy sister.  I have nothing personal against you.  "Hatred baggage"? LOL.  This is one of many computer games I play, nothing more.  I take none of you seriously, so there is no hate involved.  I was merely stating that you, hubs, and a few others never have anything good to say to anyone.  You come here just to harp on people.  I couldn't care less about what any of you do in-GAME<-yes game.  Some of you take this crap wayyyyy to seriously. So, all the yap about "hate baggage" and BK this and that (you lost me there)  is pretty friggin funny to me.  You are nothing more than a name on my computer screen, as I am to you, so chill out Sally.  BTW, I've been playing a lot longer than I've been registered here, so yes, I AM allowed to have an opinion of the crap you(or anyone) spew.  Don't like it? Well....

Bustr  dont even be bothered by the BBS brood. as i understand how this fourm is suppose to work, u sharing your opinion and replying to responses is the intent of this place. true getting run over roughshod by a particular few in here is typical of the forums. there are just those people who have to interject regardless.

Killnu  if you openly admitted that there are styles of play that you dont understand, maybe you should consider the alt defense one of them. although i have to admit it seems to be common practice in rookland. yes that is a generic blanket statement but there are many a times when i have tried to get into a rook base only to find a 15k defender circling aimlessly.

I was in K4, was at 10k...not 15k.  I grabbed to 8k otw to your base....seen about 10 dots higher than me so grabbed to 10k.  Did not see a enemy contact the entire way to your base.  

I ran into a spit16, about 1k lower...he pulled up, i flat turn, he came back down after loop, i smacked him...2 nikis came in on me then...this was about 7-8k now directly over your base...draggin them up, they was 1k back....then spit14 was there from over me, 200 and got me.

my question was this....why not grab towards enemy base and move fight away from yours?  that was question on 200...stated I didnt understand why you grab to 15K+ over you own base and hang out there.  

I can understand grabbin up some near base to get coalt with guys coming in...but why not move away from your own base and push fight to enemies?  If that wouldve happened, I would not of been 8-10K directly over your field without seeing a con.  The fight wouldve been in between both fields.

not sure where the heck you came up with this "my 15k or so"....I was at 10.5k when you bounced me....I was at no point in time above where you hit me at.

Now, the question still stands, just like I asked on 200, why stay over own field when you have alt on incoming cons?  why not push to enemy base and push them down some?

edit...and no, I never saw you up there.

I distinctly remember this on SQ ch!  You asked me, "Who in the hell climbs to 15 K to defend a base?"  I replied, "Dweebs!":aok

Big Mickey..... Doing my part to bring FUN back to the forums.

Exactly!  So worried about "KillnU" that he had climbed up to a point above his own base that to, "miss" gave him an unlimited amount of E to correct his misgivings!

By the way the kitten was fascinated with the parts falling off your K4. His name is bustr and sends his regards. He trys to help me fly...:)

My real concern at the time was you are so good at this game and a bit of a legend. Why did it matter to "you" enough in the first place to say anything on ch200 to a "nobody" like me? Until you complained I admired your AH legend as an uber game player and someone for players to aspire to be like.

Unlike yourself, my recolection of the minute trivia and nuances of the fight are not very important. So I apologise if my recoloection is not as good as yours. Maybe thats part of why you are uber at this game.

My only concern is we average cherry fodder players only get a kill on someone like yourself by accident. And being at the uber level you obviously are it was strange you would complaine like some one of lesser abilities and impulse control.

Again I hope you were just having a bad day and all will be ok with yourself soon....:)    My apologeise if I cannot play the game correctly....:(

Bustr, give it up!  Don't dig deeper, you might find what you are looking for!
