A few of the originals still around here.  +Dizy = Delirium, +Dead =Leviathn, +Tiff=CorkyJr, although i guess I'm the only one flying regularly right now.

Had no idea that DeadF was Levi but it sure makes sense. Learned a lot about the 38 in AW from him back when I was playing as =TT=.

Learned how to die humbly to mitsu back in AH1 open beta, but all of us were mostly converts from AW or Warbirds coming to grips with the differences in the gunnery and flight modeling. Great times though.

And everyone else I've ever gone 1v1 against in the MA or dueling. Heck even the guys who've ganged me, gotta learn SA somehow!

Aces-high

[daddog]

Never had lessons in Aces High. Lord knows I can still use them.

VonDoom taught me the ropes back in Warbirds 1. something. Back when KALI (spelling) had a DOS version that few knew about.

Lots of great sticks in Aces High, but I don't admire skill.

I admire skill with a humble personality and a good attitude.  Yucca took some time with me one day as did Shane. Who can forget Drex? The best there was.

Many in my squad, many CM's, AVA staff, HTC staff, many players and trainers. Too many to list.

Skill alone? That means nothing to me.

Just a note......Mentor- a wise and faithful adviser/teacher.   We need no negativity from a moral highstander!  Teachers come in all varieties and degrees of effectivness!  Many "students" have learned much from arrogant, sometimes pompous teachers.  As Blooms Taxonomy has demonstrated, there are different levels of competences and skills of learners and a teacher must find what works for each learner as an individual.  Take for instance, one of your "mentors" used negative and degrading attacks  to "coax" an entire community to learn.  Shane is a very good example of an "in your face", yet very effective and memorable mentor!  The "Slayer of Castrati" is on my list!

Actually Shane is a very different guy in the DA.  I always had fun in there with him, good fights, good laughs.


As for his MA persona:  He always said " You castrati are pretty good 6v1."
or something similar.  That translates to:  "I got myself into a bad spot and don't want to take responsibility for my decision."  Whether is was an error in SA or he   didn't care became moot once he whined...yes it was a whine albeit an amusing one.
In spite of this, I liked the guy.  He seemed to really bother some peeps but I always got along w/ him just fine.

Its kinda embarassing cause its such an obvious thing... but I once bumpped into you in the TA once and we started turn fighting...

I kept making flat turns and you made the comment about trading E for alt and not just burning it away like I was...

I am sure others have said it  but for some reason it sunk in that day...

Made a world of difference to my dog fighting...


EDIT: just to clarify why it was embarassing, It was late last year when ya got the point to sink in and I had been flying for what a year and a half before that.... and Burning E all that time...

[Platano]

I bet ya wondering y im using 2 different  Names eh?
