Nothing personal but you seem to have almost individually turned a thread that was intended to be positive to a 'me against AH' one.

Personally I think you are amusing most of the time. Other times you would be better off not posting and inflaming the situation.

Of course that's just my opinion and like rectal orifices everybody has one.

Listen bro, I have good friends in this game! Many of which came to be by aroogant statements!
~~and good luck!~~

au contrair mon fraire, it is all clear

I've seen the good the bad and the ugly in my past ten plus years of this,

this was a post to honor people who took time to teach others, lower the learning curve. and furballers and toolshedders alike have done this. Taken time out from there gameplay to HELP others. Learn and enjoy the game.

But this thread that was made to honor people who try and help has been destroyed by Hey look at me.

no insult here implied, but this thread has been morally hijacked

alot of good people have given tons of there time in here and thats what this thread was about,,,, how does widewing say it

Doobs, if you read the thread, in it's integrity, you will find that SkyRock is a very humble soul to those who have taught him well! Besides all the smack talk, I want to "Salute" those who have taken their time with me! Without showing elitism, many have donated their time and energy, just to make me more enjoy this game! I give them credit in this thread! I wish nothing but the best for all "real" people who have enjoyed/not enjoyed, this thread! Keep it in perspective!

you have a point, but ya started this thread, and in respect to it, not argue the disposition of others, this would of been a great post otherwise(whichI am contributing to the demise of).

i have flown in similiar circles with ya and have never had a prob with ya, you seem like an ok guy with me.

and how did you get into the muppets, who I like to think of the pre BK's(no offense to the BK's, but the muppets were scary back in there day)

I have had a few discussions with Skyrock on 200. From my own personal perspective, I dont find his comments on the 200 channel entertaining or enjoyable. I have read in these posts that some do. It seems I have read more comments from folks with similar feelings as me.

I am a law enforcement officer by trade, my job at times can be very stressful. I come to play AH as a stress reliever. I dont come here to be bullied and pestered by anyone. I have found that you, skyrock, like to bully and badger people on 200. In due respect, I sincerely believe that you feel it is funny and entertaining. I dont share those thoughts. On occasion, I have had enough of your rantings and fell into a trap by arguing with you on 200. That was my mistake. My best response should have been to turn off 200. The only problem with that is there are folks on both opposing sides that I like to hear from.

So skyrock, if we can be adult about this, try and step out of the box and see how others might think concerning your behavior. I have no problem with the topic you raised in this initial thread. In fact, I think it is an honorable topic. The problem I have is with you, from my limited perspective of your constant blatherings on 200. I can respect the thread, but perhaps, sadly, not the author of the thread. Its as simple as that.

It sounds like you appreciate the efforts of others and as such you dont seam like a self servring ego maniac

HOWEVER

The MANY Skyrock owns comments are starting to get to be a bit much.... I think your trying to be funny but others see them as the comments of a self servring ego maniac

In my personal opinion Humor is best when delivered in small well selected doses, not when delivered by C5 Galexy.

Think about some guy in the MA who asks a couple of questions and then think about the guy who asks every thing over country channel and who refuses to RTFM..

This thread started out as one of the good ones, but as doobs said:

Doobs (shot down Levi yet mate )

I usually stop reading a thread once I start seeing chest thumping (though I have been guilty of it.... right steve ) So I have not read every post in hear and I dont know who is guilty of what.

Like I said this started out good went bad.... It would be nice if it finished on a good note.

Anyway I am done, hope you can take my comments as an honest opinion and not as an attack....

I dont understand how people can say SR is taking the game to serious, needs it to inflate ego, blah blah blah....and it all stems from them taking what he says on 200 seriously? Who is taking what to serious here?

Over my time in online sims, I have found some of the more memorable opponents/wingmen have been the "mouths". I love them and have not taken what they say seriously, because I know it is not serious, but meant to get a "rise". Rice1...guy was funny and loved killing him, Ruaml...still is funny and love to fight him, As&8s....funny and good to be around cuz many cons was otw, SR...makes me laugh and my goodness does he get people spun, Shane...was only one that at times got to me, but I quickly put it back in perspective when I looked at the situation. It totally made sense to me when I seem him in a 4 on 1 and 2 more dove in with 5k alt to help kill him.

Ive seen some people on here smak talk on 200 to try to get opponent try to do something...some have admitted to typing stuff just to get a guy "going". How are they so much better? The hypocracy is disgusting.

Monster0 · « **Reply #202 on:** February 17, 2007, 09:51:38 AM »

I base my opinion like this.

Has SkyRock bounce on me from a 5k alt adv? No.

Has SkyRock cherry Picked me in a hoard? No

When I call a con mine does he back off? Yes.

When I'm engage in a 1vs1 does he ask first if i need help? Yes.

Does he ever fly with the Hoard? No

Does he take on the hoard? Yes

Is he willing to help a teammate even when the numbers are against them? Yes

Is he willing to spend time in the DA and show people a trick or two? Yes

I'm not sure what else you can ask from a member of AcesHigh. But i'll take a 1000 skyrocks/shane over any of you that have posted here. Including myself.

And >S< Shane for spending time with me in the MA during the late hours. Also sending me the stick config that I still use to this day.

That is exactly what this thread was started for, and a couple of people took away from that by listing thngs that they didn't like about some of the mentors mentioned, as if the thread needed critical analysis of those honored!

i have nothing to say negative about skyrock. he likes to talk trash a lot to get people to DA him, but who doesnt, I do that too not as much as skyrock but i like to talk trash sometimes to get people to DA me. and after my opponent and I are finished In the DA we end up becoming friends. most of the time everything works out perfecly. So dont be scared to DA skyrock you might learn something or you might kick his prettythang like i do in spits LOL and it will feel really good.

P.S. looking foward to fighting skyrock in the DA again.

I started AH with an incredible bunch of fellows named the 327th Steele Talons. I flew with them for a year and am still close friends with all of them! Then I left

I have been in the Muppets, three times. Once was invited in by ManeTMP, wetrat pitched a fit because I was relative newb, so he asked me to leave after 3 days. I left. Was invited again by Fester 2 days after that. Stayed with them for 4 months, and then quit to fly solo. Started training with Nomak, who invited me into "Quah" (where I met TW9) I think it was TW's squad, which mophed into "( . ) ( . ) lovers". TW and Nomak left but Wax and the few that were on there were a blast. I slowly drifted out until Wax just took me off the roster. LMAO! Wax tried to turn me into a NIK pilot and I vomitted so he kicked me out on my arse! hee hee j/k Wax! I then was asked to join the 475th by Blixen I think. I flew with them for quite awhile(excellent bunch of folks give or take 2) lol. The 475th merged with Fester and the Muppets. Then KillnU left and I eventually dropped out to fly solo again. I then flew with Crazy Gang, but Pipz didn't like me jumping countries so he Kicked me out! I was already flying solo most of the time so I didn' take it in wrong way and Pipz still great friend to this day!(although not a great singer! hee hee) I flew solo for quite awhile. Then jumped in this new squad called Killuminati, formed by Dano Dano I think. Great friends and good times.
I left/was booted, lol and formed a squad. I had 3 in, when I see Killn on one day and saw him land kills as a Muppet. I asked, "muppets"??? He said yeah Festers back. I said cool. A few days later I was flying and a PM came up, it was KillnU and he said hey bro, come join the muppets! I asked who all he had in, and he replied just me and Fester. I said I'd have to talk with my sq. By the next time I had logged on, my one squad mate, had already joined KillnU and so I rejoined myself. I haven't regretted the move back, and it is an incredible bunch of fellas, all of whom I respect, and enjoy flying with. Wouldn't be in any other squad! just great fun and laughs laughs on ch! We go to the DA and kick the watermelon out of either and absolutely no ego's abound. Just super fellows!

First I hope you noticed I edited out where you kik my arse, sonic! hee hee
Sonic hit the nail on the head here. I can't think of one instance, where I didn't become friends with the perosn who hated me and finally went to the DA. After the fights, I get many who say, you are completely different guy in here. I thought you were going to be an arse! They usually end by saying thank you so much for taking the time with me and showing me that stuff. I appreciate your teaching me and am excited to go back to the MA and put this stuff to use!
Just about a month ago, I had this Kat, WarKat, who said on 200, come you bigmouth arse, lets go to the DA. I said sure. We merged in hurri2's and I followed his spiral up and he roped me. He followed me down and eventually got me as I squirm on the deck. I typed, Good fight and kill . only to find he had immediately logged off! I went back to 200 and said Warkat, where'd you go? He said I beat you and so I came back to the arena, do you want me to post the film of me kiking your arse? I said no, I wasn't finished dueling do you mind coming back? He obliged and kiked me around some more. A few days ago, he PM'd me and said you want to DA? I said, sure. We go back in there and I kik him a little. It was great fun, and I think me and WarKat will be good friends form now on and he knows he has a good fight whenever he wants one and with someone who will not HO him on any merge, but just give him a good honorable fight!

I know this sounds like I am just tooting my own horn, but many of you guys in here just hate, the 200 personna, without ever knowing me personnaly. The 200 smack is something I learned from many of my mentors, and I found out after I went to the DA with them, that their 200 smack, was just that, 200 smack, and in no way was indidcative of who they really are in a one on one encouter and conversation with them!

Just two in the list that I do sometimes, cherry pik and fly with a hoard, Many occasions its the only fight to be in on map! :-)
Thank you Monster for your kind words! SkyRock<-----owns a tear soaked Kleenex!

Mussie I appreciate you candor. I just would like to make one thing clear, the "owns" comments are usually triggerd by someone talkng smack themselves. For instance, these are some triggers, that will automatically get a SkyRock "owns" jab:

When I hear someone tell a newb to AltF4, he will get an "own" jab.

When I hear a guys arguing over the 1 con the 6 of them jumped I will start throwing the "own" jabs at all of them.

When I see peeps on 200, arguing, I throw the "own" jab in there just to stir it up!

When I see someone gloating on 200, I throw them an "own" jab.

When I see someone complaining about how noone will bring a goon, I throw them an "own" jab.

Don't get me wrong, I throw the "own" jab out there completely fishing for response sometimes, although abrasive, I find it to funny, and many times end up helping the guy if he gets amd enough to go to the DA and actually learn something. I throw it out to friends, who in response, say, "I owned SKyRock once, but I couldn't return him because the store wouldn't have him back"! The best one I have heard lately, and I can't remember who said it, was, "You know if you bought SkyRock for what he's worth, then sold him for what he thinks he's worth, you coud get rich!" I think that is funny as he11!~ LMAO!
Anyway, just don't take 200 serious, and there is no problem to be had!
