J/K...I can't stand those fools.  Maybe in another thread at another time I'll explain what I mean by proud black man.

Aye storch ..run for an hour an burn 700 calories.

Or .. not have a cheeseburger.

Hmm .. tough choice.

(opts for the one-less cheeseburger in a day)

Google the 'Hackers Diet' ..it's a bit of an education.

-Frank (btw, down 78lbs from my personal 'best' of 368 ..losin about a pound a week ..simply from not havin that 'one cheeseburger' a day

the thing with running GE is the high you get after you stop running.  it becomes an I need thing.  

last night a neighbor from across the lake called that they were moving some new furniture up to second floor of his house and that it was too heavy for he his wife and daughters to do alone.  since I hadn't run yesterday because we had people over early and they stayed most of the day I decided to run there instead of driving.  with threats of taking away his computer I coerved my 16 yr old to accompany me on the run.  he sullenly got into his running gear and met me outside where I was stretching my legs out.    

my boy comes out through the front door and says let's go tersely.  the kid took at a sprint but about half way there I caught him and kept to his pace.  we arrived at haddad's home did the deed had a margarita or two chatted for a bit then ran home the long way around the lake.  again the kid takes off again I catch him and keep his pace.  the upside is that while the kid has no clue what a feat that was for a fifty year old fat man to do I'm sure it must have made some impression.  in thirty five when his dad is happily performing coffin kata perhaps he will reflect on that long ago late summer's evening when his old dad matched his pace for over a mile and it will inspire to maintain himself physically fit in that possibly far more sedentary reality he may find himself in.

or not. 215lbs today  slow attaining the 195lbs I'm looking for.

BEST: Pwning dweeb rides and knocking off thier training wheels out from under them in my p38

Worst: Going to a base and seeing nothing but spit 16's at 20k and LA7's, 190d's and the rest of the dweeb family of planes, doesnt anyone belive in flying a challenging A/C and getting proficient in it anymore (ie p38, p40, 110, ect....)?

Very Worst: Losing half my plane to a one ping wonder fom a spit 16 or la7.

Even more worse ... people that think that they die to just one ping.

It's near impossible to just fire 1 bullet ... be it machine gun or cannon ... and if you thought that your heard just 1 ping ... thats because you took a round to the head and you (the pilot) dies immediately and you don't/can't hear the rest of the rounds riddleing your plane/cockpit.

Half true, I think.  I think if you hear 1 ping you probably took 10.  Your FE does not play a sound for every ping you took.  So although it is possible to take a single ping as you fly through a stream of bullets, if you died to it you either had accumulated enough damage already and all that was needed was a single bullet or you took several hits but only heard one.

WOW

What we have here is a good example of how your behavior in AH reflects to your day to day life.  

He is addicted to running.  he needs to run but he didn't since he had a horde of friendlies around him.  He did not run a single time while they were there but as soon as they left, he found an excuse to run.  In addition, he send out a friendly ahead of him just in case, but went back  into formation with him as soon as the all clear was given.

Amazing

You can with the new B-25's cannon

[Yknurd]

and you will die from that one ping

[acfireguy26]

Best= Being able to play the game like I want.Ppl that ask  before jumping in your fight.

Worst= Ppl that incite conflict in game chat or on bbs just because they can.
That la7 and spit XVI are not perked. Oh and trolls.

  ... so true.

[lazs2]

hmmm.... seems that most here like the fight the most..  that they hate HO and hordes and milkrunning but...

All I ever see in the arenas is 300 or so people all hiding from each other unless they have at least a 3 to one advantage with 6 to one being much preferred.

I am learning that the FM2 is the fastest plane in the game... one way... I can get to a clump or red planes faster than the 20 of my countrymen headed there in every gee wiz plane HT has put in the game.

A lot of kills usually means that I get to kill a couple and then the other six on me crash into the ground or water or killshoot each other after missing the HO.

Just observations of stupidity...

The other night after scanning the map, I decide on a launch and target field.  On the way there I watch a friendly mission on dar change heading toward the field I'm going to.  They are going to arrive there before me.  There goes the idea of finding a few secluded fight, but oh well.  When I get to the enemy field, I see ack, VH, & FH is down, and percent of town reports are being given on range channel.  Good mission I think.  Then as I orbit and survey the situation, I watch with zero enemy resistance, these guys continue to flatten the field until no destroyable object was left standing.  All the while, range chatter inticates the map room will be taken in short order.  Wtf?  Are these guys that retarded?  Or just afraid to actually have to fight a live person?

That was the extent of the land grab in that area the 3+ hours I was on.  The reason being that the 'mishun' guys that have so much fun landgrabbing, shot themselves and their local countrymen in the foot by an unwarrented porking of our front line field that otherwise could have supported future land grab/fights.  Yes, I critiqued at the time.  Yes, I complained (whined if you prefer) for the next hour everytime I was inconvienienced to another field with the resources I wanted because I knew who porked the field.  Yes, I know I could resupply the field, but I'm not the retard who porked our own resources needlessly!

Edit:  I know the reply to this one..."Too many times that lone La7 has gotten up and killed the goon".  Re-read it, no FH, no VH, no resistance.  If 20 guys can't keep something from getting from the field to the town, you don't deserve to get the capture.

Here's another one.  Late night, low numbers, two fields furballing back and forth.  Eventually, inevitably, one side gets a numbers advantage.  I know from experience, when it's a limited number of enemies at off-peak times you have to extend a small bit of curtousy if you don't want to be left playing with yourselves.  It's nice when everyone else around knows that also, but it is becomming rare.
"There's only a couple guys willing to up, at least let them get out of ack"
BOOM

"Comon guys at least take turns or they'll leave"

BOOM
"Guess they all logged, I'm logging too"
"Have fun playing with yourselves idiots"
On the other hand, I've continued to have hours more fun in the same situation, when the guys with the numbers have the sense enough to allow the few willing opposers at least a chance of fighting for a bit.

I also love the off-peak furball killer.  There will be a CV off shore, just at the edge of visible range from the field.  30+ players are just having fun going at it, and nobody is making a serious effort to capture the field, or sink the CV.  Along comes the crack bomber pilot from 4 sectors away to deal with this threat to their national security.  Thank you.  Thank you so much for sinking that CV.  Your other 18 countrymen that have been enjoying the game defending that area thank you.  Even the 15 enemy players thank you for removing the uncomfortable experience of competing with actual live players from that situation.  You're my hero.

So from a previous reply, I agree with:
The best- The community
and I'll add The worst-  The people

Couldnt have said it any better....
