I kinda just learned aces high for myself through a lot of trial and error.

Looks like I'm going to have to hide the toys from the kids again.

It is really pathetic that this topic should make it to the BBS.  Cripes...it's a game.  Like Whisk, Dominoes, Chutes and Ladders.  Doesn't anyone understand this?

Hey...it's more like Bowling you get a score in bowling too!

I enjoy talking between countries on 200.  Why you may ask?  First, probably the majority of my long time friends in Aces High have been former adversaries, or countrymates in Air Warrior.  I always say hello to
Pawz, KillnU, Whels, DogFart, Nomde, Silat and many many others that I've known for a good many years.  Most of them since earlier Air Warrior days.  We during a good fight....winning is not important.  RESPECT......one has to earn it.  How does one gain respect by insulting someone?  It won't happen!  Fester handed me my patootie many many times when I first came to Aces High...he earned my respect by beating me without crowing, and helping me to improve in Aces High.  So have many others that shoot my tail off on a regular basis.

In life if you work hard you have a greater chance of attaining your goals.
Also.....to get respect you must first earn it.  It is not handed to you.  If you give repect in most cases it will be returned to you.  Doesn't matter who you are or what you do, respect is returned when it is earned.

Now....I'm sorry I even posted on something as trivial as this.

We learned in squads back in the day and we try to carry on that tradition today.

The Assassins rocked at ACM, I learned a lot from them.

The Krewsaders rocked at taking bases, we learned the strategies from them.  To this day, our squad excels at it.

The future lies in taking in the newbies and training them.  You want the game to last, unlike AW?  Recruit newbies and teach them to love the game.

If we put a 6% tax on every time SkyRock uses an exclamation mark we could pay off the national deficit

To be honest its kinda hard to explain the DA thing.  Not many people "Get it" but once they do they are usually DA faithfulls forever.

It offers things the MA doesnt.  No running away, no hoards, no base capture.  No long pauses between fights, no climbing to altitude..... you get the idea.

What the real appeal is though is that its very personal and really really pushes you to fly at your best.  I mean..... I can have more great fights in teh DA in an hour than I do in the MA in a week.  Quite a few of the people I DA with become great friends as you have alot of time to talk 1 on 1.

I dunno there are other reasons but I dont view it at all how SkyRock described it.

Just my take

I "Get it" flying with friends.  Stang, you back in the day, Apar (basically the BK's) etc.

It is the "OMG YOU KILLED ME! DA NOW!" i find pretty ridiculous.

Dave,
I thought your(our) version of the DA was long gone... It's why I rarely go in there now, I don't want to deal with some chest pounding blowhard.. I just want to have fun.  I peeked in there the other night and had some good fights w/ a dude named Warkat in a FFA setting. It was a good time.  Warkat sent a genuine salute whether he was on the giving or receiving end.  I am glad that I ran into him, he is a classy stick and I enjoyed mixing it up with him.
