I take it seriously because I want to. It seems if people want something you don't.. they are chastized. But when you even care what others say and you try to convince them otherwise.. then you're taking the stance you oppose. Why read these BBs if you don't take it even half serious?. You're just cranky I have time to play all day and night, and even make money at other games I play... on average 800 a month. So.. how's them apples

lol with that one it's now 74% ;)

My figure is a guestimate.. I've made from nothing (obviously) to my largest which was 3,000 (I sold a whole account on Ebay for almost 3k, so it's easier to use that number) and I pull in a decent amount. It's not exact, and I don't feel like going back the past 3 years and taking the time to figure out the exact number. but it's a large amount, and it pays my rent, that's what matters :)

there is a closet in said room but contains only home made leather man panties and trench coats.

the neighbors make their kids walk to school on the other side of the street due to the mechanical, explosive and profane sounds that echo from the house at all hours of the nights..

anyone who has lived on this street more than a year remembers the fateful night when, without explanation a hand made fake sheep was found burning in the middle of road, some sort of crude ethegy, with the letters E.N.Y written in what was thought to be blood but turned out to be pizza sauce.










:huh


LOL I had a shipmate who's home office resembled that.. the man even learned to sleep sitting up.. Talk about obsession hehe (was Ever Crack though.. he didn't like combat sims)

Chutes are FAC's (if they know what they are doing). Shooting them down is no disrespect. If they don't want to be shot they can .ef out of the scene.
That's a huge difference in chute killing here and chute killing in AW.

Vulching is vulching. If you are dumb enough to try and up from a capped field, you get what you deserve. Persistance may pay off eventually, but it pads the vulcher's k/d ratio in the meantime.

Spying is as weak as it gets. Period.

I love to shoot a parachute, expecially after a good long , hard to win dogfight, I kinda like to "put the cheery on top" with a chute kill. Take that to the tower with ya :):cool:

I don't even know who you are.  Why would I be cranky?  LOL

That you take the game too seriously is your problem, not mine.  If my shooting your chute makes you upset, again, that is your problem and not mine.  Don't like it?  Get back in the air, shoot me down, and blast my chute.  Except you won't find me in a chute since I never bail.

If the chute is anywhere near a maproom, it's dead. Other than that I leave them alone.

New guy... maybe not, but that doesn't make Meatwad's rant any less classless. Carhint is trying to guage "public opinion" within our "community" and while anyone can disagree with the opinions he gathered, why should someone be critical of the effort? Kudos to carhint for all the work he did to make the poll! I have wondered about this subject myself after reading some of the scrolling whines on 200.

It's Leviathn, and I've been popping chutes for the better part of 11 years now.
