I recently flew under a shades account for a two week trial and here's what I found.

When I fly under Lute and shoot a "good", or even a "decent/avg"stick down I generally get a or some such thing.

When I was under the shade I got ALL KINDS of smack talk, and rarely a .  Players were rude to me, and even members of my own country were jerks.

I found it most "interesting".

I now make it a point to try and be a "kinder and gentler" lute to the noobs.  

(except for squeakers of course)




(another interesting note, TC knew who I was within a round or so in a KOTH.  I never knew I flew a particular way, but he knew exactly who I was quick)

Muppets occupy quite a few of the top fighter ranks, and they can all handle themselves (well.. except zazen :t  :aok ). I will agree that the rest of them, with a few exceptions, definitely do suck, and as far as I can tell, everyone with a good overall rank is pretty much terrible.


And Lute.. I've had pretty much the same experience several times. Every time I come back from one of my prolonged breaks, I fly a few weeks with a shade until the rust falls off and I get around to emailing skuzzy. Definitely a bit more hostility... This time around I made no secret that Sakuraba = wetrat, and it wasn't too bad. "Good" players don't like losing to people they haven't heard of. Good players want to know who they lost to in order to gauge how badly they fked up (ie. if I get pwnd by a hub shade in the MA, I will be embarrassed, and re-up and slaughter him... if I get pwnd by a NathBDP shade, I will be less embarrassed, but still go hunting for him).

I found exactly the same thing when i changed to 'Ball', i got challenged to DA 4 times in one day by just shooting people down.  I ended going there with Ruaml and then SkyRock (who got pwnd in A6M's).

Its too bad hookers don't take perk points, the ch200 'I refuse to man up' whiners might just be silenced, too busy smelling their fingers to type trash.

Most guys that swear and moan arent as good as they pretend to be. But they are loudmouthed and a lot of people that are new to the game think these are the great pilots.

Some of the guys that are top ranking in fighter rank are verry good, but because someone isnt ranked at all or not in the top 1000 doesnt mean hes worse.

Maybe "abuse" wasn't the right wording.  Maybe "a whine followed by taunting" would have been a better description and the 30 minutes wasn't all one-sided, it was an "exchange" until I finally got sick of arguing with a dweeb who was pissed off because he set himself up to be HO'd.

And I would expect such a person to 1. not live up to it and 2. try to find a way to turn it around on the other (by invoking the "film rule" and by running to get your "friends" to stand up for you).

Why would I attack you specifically if this wasn't true?  Why pick you out of all the people posting in this thread?  The only reason is that you're saying one thing when doing something completely opposite.  Other than our little exchange that day I have nothing against you.  I still don't but be a man and admit it.  I don't expect you will because like getting shot down it's always someone elses fault.  

Like that day, I'm going to stop now because it's just not worth it.
I see you've moved on to another person.   I have to call BS on your "claim that Ren shot his mouth off to me".    You're full of it, I merely said "hi" to him last night and it took about 5 minutes for him to reply.    Ren has ALWAYS hated Channel 1/200".    You picked the wrong person to try this on.    

You said:  "Like that day, I'm going to stop now because it's just not worth it."  

Really should have said: "I had better shut my trap because I am confusing you with someone else and am looking like a chode."

While I still believe and stick by my story i offer a public appology to Ren because this wasn't the place to bring it up and doing so was (typically) out of charachter for me.  It was a sleeping dog that should have been left to lie and wasn't that big of a deal to begin with.  I hope you'll accept my appology.

I guess I wasn't done yet.  Now lets go play.
