I guess you don't spend anytime in the MW arena.
If I had heard what hub said to me from YOU that night, I could have understood it. But hearing it from hub in hindsight now makes me laugh even harder. I never realized "hub was the bar or a standard with which to judge talent". He isn't and never will be. But then again, it shows the Community how morally bankrupt some have become in this game. Sorry hub, but you said this that night. Then under "hub" pretended to be somewhat of a friend, with whom I would PM, and would even receive (at that time) "friendly" PM's from you.
I've noticed a damn good trend over about the last year, year and a half. I've noticed the amount of "two-faced sticks" has increased. They chat with you when it is convenient for them, but then have NO PROBLEM attempting to backstab you regardless of convenience.
Slapshot, when the arena split happened, I was exclusively in the EWA for 3 months. But slowly and surely, the quantity of Hurricane II's and milkrunners ruined it for me. The 3 months of EWA time were utilized by Veterans of this game who enjoyed DOGFIGHTING, and didn't care about scorewhoring. Slowly, the "xbrit's, Karaya's, bj229r's, Wax's, etc of AH" moved to different Arenas for the same reasons. In the EWA, I pretty much flew the Spit 1 and Ju88's to drop hangers for those 3 months. Before that I RARELY flew Buff's, and enjoyed utilizing the Bombers to increase my skill.
I then would toggle between the MWA and the Late War's depending on numbers. I then flew the Ki61 and remembered what the 2 best Tony sticks in the game (Helm and Goth) told me when I first started playing back in April of 2002. I became very adept in the Tony, and still enjoy flying a Mid War ride in the LWA and landing kills.
For Karaya "the challenge with which he enjoys is using an inferior plane, and besting the superior plane". Before the Arena split I enjoyed rolling a Spit 1 and landing 4-5 kills in a hop. With most of the time at least 2 La7's kilt A to A. I never vulched in it, only ACM. This trend basically continues today with me in the LWA. I'm usually in a Spit 1, Tony, 38G or J. Lately I've been flying the K4 as practice for the upcoming scenario.
After saying all of this, I'm still laughing. Why? We all know the answer to that one, don't we?
